Counterfeit cash leads to arrests A LEX M ACON

Senior Staff Writer Two UNT freshmen were a r rested ea rly Monday morning and charged with forger y a nd possession of marijuana after one of the students used a counterfeit $20 bill to pay a Jimmy John’s delivery driver, according to a police report.

The students were arrested just past midnight in front of Maple Hall.

Hiro Miyata, genera l manager at Jimmy John’s on Avenue A, said the deliver y d r i v er w ho r e c ei v e d t he

money on a delivery to Maple Hall hadn’t realized it was fake.

“If you g la nced at it, it looked real,” Miyata said.

Upon closer i nspect ion, he said the fabricated money looked a little “off” and was missing a serial number.

Employees at t he sa ndw ich shop ident i f ie d t he students, who were regular pat ron s t here, sa id R y a n Grel le, public infor mat ion officer for the Denton Police Department.

It is still unclear how the students were able to produce

the counterfeit money, which was apparently all $20 bills, Grelle said.

Denton police were already at the eater y before Miyata realized anything was amiss, he said, adding that the same deliver y driver saw the two students being arrested when he made another deliver y to Maple Hall.

Miyata said he was only awa re of one fa ke $20 bill being used at Jimmy John’s; however, the students used t he cou nter feit money at se ver a l loc a l bu si ne s se s, Grelle said.

Racing through the streets at dangerously high speeds is part of the experience of membership in the Denton Longboard Club.

T he club meets up at Jody’s Fountain in front of Willis Library at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays for an hour of cruising around town with fun and safety in mind.

“It’s a great outdoor exercise,” said Clint Caldwell, biology

senior and president of the group. “You can go uphill. You can go downhill. You don’t need gears, and you can’t get a flat.”

A seven-year longboard veteran, Caldwell leads the pack, helping other members gain experience and ride safely through the streets. During the last meeting, his goal was for each member to practice riding and learn one new trick.

For members, longboarding is an alternative form of transportation that provides the benefit

of convenience. It alleviates the stress of having to find a parking space or bike rack and the worry of mechanical problems associated with other forms of transportation.

“It’s a great hobby, and that’s why I love having this group here because we can get lots of other people involved in it,” Caldwell said. “I’m willing to spread the joy that I take in it.”

UNT men’s basketba ll head coach Johnny Jones got his first glance at his newlook team Wednesday in a season-opening exhibition victory over Oklahoma City (1-1).

After a slow start, the Mean Green pulled away in the second half to secure a 67-54 win.

“I think guys got out there excited and anxious and had some first game jitters,” Jones said. “But I was pleased with the effort and liked the way

that they came back out in the second half.”

The Mean Green entered the season with nine new players after losing seven of last year’s senior players to graduation.

On Monday, Jones didn’t have a starting five set, but he leaned toward youth, as seniors Kedrick Hogans and Alonzo Edwards were the only upperclassmen to start.

Jones’ decision to put a pair of freshmen in the starting lineup paid off as guard Jordan Williams and Chris Jones combined to score 17 points and grab 13 rebounds.

Chris Jones tied for the team lead with 10 points, coming three rebounds shy of a doubledouble in 25 minutes of play.

“I think I played OK,” Chris Jones said. “I don’t think I played to the best of my abilities, but I think I played all right.”

UNT entered the locker room with just a 1-point lead at halftime, but the team used a 17-4 run midway through the second half to attain a doubledigit lead and effectively end the game.

SGA approves resolution to support online classes ISAAC WRIGHT

Senior Staff Writer The Student Government Association passed a resolution Wednesday supporting UNT’s decision to offer more online classes while maintaining the quality of on-campus classes.

Resolutions are not binding, but they are used to show UNT officials which issues students want addressed.

Sean Smallwood, author of the legislation and a senator for the College of Arts and Sciences, said the university is considering increasing online classes, but has not implemented them yet.

“They’re going to take the quality of education into account before making any decisive decisions,” Smallwood said. “What we believe the intent of this bill is to support those initiatives that move us toward online classes.”

Smallwood added that the bill is not designed to transition UNT to a large online institution. He

“We never expect that this bill will make UNT online kind of like the University of Phoenix.”

- Sean Smallwood College of Arts and Sciences

said the change would benefit non-traditional and commuter students who might not be able

to attend classes on campus every day.

“We never expect that this bill will make UNT online kind of like the University of Phoenix,” Smallwood said. “We don’t expect something like that to happen. I think you need to have more faith in your administrators because they wouldn’t allow something like that to happen, either.”

Senators also attempted to pass legislation that was postponed in a previous meeting.

Senators recently tabled legislation that would require anyone wishing to submit legislation to obtain at least 10 signatures from their constituency. Adam Hasley, author of the bill and a senator for the CAS, motioned to bring the bill back to the floor for consideration.

LGBT activist to speak at diversity conference NICOLE BALDERAS Senior Staff Writer

U N T a n nou nced LGBT and equal rights activist Dan Savage as the keynote speaker for its 12th annual Equity and Diversit y Conference next spring.

The theme of this year’s event is “The power of peace is the harmony of inclusion,” chosen to address current issues faced by many students, said Uyen Tran, director of organization development for Equity and Diversity.

A long w it h Savage, t he conference on Feb. 7 will also feature Grammy Award-winner John Legend, who will perform separately that night.

“Dan Savage came up a lot when we were deciding who to pick,” Tran said. “He’s really

at the forefront of things and how to deal with the problems in society.”

During his speech, Savage w ill address t he bu lly ing epidemic of the past year, as well as his personal clash with cultural conservatives because of his homosexuality, according to the event’s website.

“The Multicultural Center believes no matter what your beliefs are, everyone does need to be treated with dignity,” Tran said. “There have been so many suicides because of a lack of this.”

John Legend will perform the night of the conference, giving a brief acoustic set followed by a lecture, which will also be free to students.

Unlike the day’s events, which students can register

for online, Legend’s performance will require students to pick up tickets at the information desk in the University Union. No date is set for when tickets will become available

that tickets will be up for grabs before the fall semester’s end.

“I will take full responsibility for tickets not being available [Nov. 1],” Windham

“The Multicultural Center believes no matter what your beliefs are, everyone does need to be treated with dignity.”

—Uyen Tran Equity and Diversity organization development director for the performance; however, Blake Windham, president of the Student Government Association assures students

said. “I misspoke on the day they would be available. In all reality, tickets will still be given out to students. It’s going to

probably fill the Coliseum and we want to make sure everything is in place to make sure it works right.”

After tallying votes from students on who they would like to see perform, Windham said, Legend ended up with the second-highest number of votes, just after Seth McFarlane, creator of “Family Guy.” The final decision comes down to availability of the possible speakers, Windham said.

“The performance will be free for students because we’re using student fee money for the performer,” said Gilda Garcia, vice president for institutional equity and diversity. “We made sure to use the money for something the students wanted.”

The Multicultural Center and the Distinguished Lecture

Series sought out Legend to perform, so each departm e nt p a i d ha l f of t he $57,500 price tag to book DAN him.

SAVAGE T h e Multicultural Center along with the department of Equity and Diversit y paid Savage $15,275 to speak.

Savage’s speech is at 10 a.m., followed by a book signing at noon for his 2010 novel “It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bully ing and Creating a Life worth Living.”

Registration for the day’s lectures was made available Nov. 1 at edo.unt.edu.

“I f we w a nt to cha nge anything through a student organization, we have to get t he opinions of students,” Hasley said.

The bill is now postponed indefinitely, along with two other pieces of legislation that

senators said would not be revisited this semester. One tabled bill would get rid of the SGA freshman intern program if passed. The second would change rules for administrative removal from the senate, but was ruled unconstitutional.

The senate also voted to allow the executive branch to spend more money without senate oversight.

Bla ke W i nd ha m, presi-

dent of the SGA, said it will raise the amount from $400 to $1,000. The bi l l passed unanimously.

“A l l t his does is f i x t he bylaws to ag ree w it h t he constitutiona l amendment that was passed that allows SGA to spend a little more money without coming to the senate first,” Windham said.

GOP candidates: No bailouts RO C H E ST E R , M ich . — Republican presidential candidates drew a bright line against government help for the private economy Wednesday night, whether it’s to bail out the U.S. auto industry at home or a debt crisis in Italy that could threaten the world economy.

“We are not going to pick w inners and losers from Washington, D.C.,” said Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, summing up a broad consensus among the candidates in a debate here.

“Let the consumers pick winners and losers. It doesn’t make any difference if it’s Wall Street...or some European

country. If you are too big to fail, you are too big.”

The debate, focused on the economy in an industrial state hit hard by the recession, came on a day when U.S. stock markets plummeted out of fears of a spreading debt crisis in Italy, the world’s seventh-largest economy.

The eight candidates did touch on other issues. Businessman Herman Cain again denied allegations of sexual harassment.

“The American people deserve better than someone being tried in a court of public opinion based on unfounded accusations,” he said to applause from the audi-

Rick Perry line up on stage before the start of the GOP Debate in which eight Republican presidential candidates spoke at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., on Wednesday. ence at Oakland University in Rochester, a suburb of Detroit.

“Voters have voted with their dollars and they’re saying they don’t care about the character assassination.”

The same audience booed when the moderator from CNBC asked former Gov. Mitt Romney about the allegations.

“Herman Cain is the person to respond to these questions.

He just did,” Romney said. “The people in this room and across the country can make their own assessment.”

Pressed on the looming European debt crisis, the eight candidates sounded a similar refrain against any direct U.S. aid to stem it.

“There’s not a lot that the United States can directly do for Italy right now,” Cain said.

“They’re really way beyond the point of return that we as the

United States can save them.”

Romney said he’d support international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, but would provide no direct aid to banks in Europe to stop the crisis from spreading.

“Europe is able to take care of their own problems,” Romney said. “There will be some who say here that banks in the U.S. that have Italian debt, that we ought to help those, as well. My view is no, no, no. We do not need to step in to bail out banks either in Europe or banks here in the U.S. that may have Italian debt.”

Rep. Ron Paul of Texas said the U.S. should let debtors fail.

“You have to let it liquidate,” Paul said. “If you prop it up, you’ll do what we did in the Depression, prolong the agony...You’re going to perpetuate this for a decade or more.”

Preschool program aids education majors M arlene Gonzalez Staff Writer

Riding tricycles, going down the slide, playing “Go fish” and finger painting may seem out of place on a university campus, but for the toddlers who attend the child development laboratory at UNT, it’s just another day at preschool.

Located in a separate wing of Matthews Hall and complete with an outside fenced-in playground and two classrooms filled with colorful artwork, pint-sized tables and chairs and a tank for the pet turtle, the laboratory cloaks itself as a typical daycare center.

But don’t call it one, said pr og r a m d i r e c tor C a r ol Hagen.

“It’s designed for academic purposes,” Hagen said. “The focus is in the needs of the university students and the faculty who teach them. To do that, we need to have a school that shows all the kinds of strategies, principles and activities that they’re hearing about in the classes they take.”

The program began as a resource for education students in the 1930s, when UNT was still the North Texas State Teachers College. Hagen said it runs by the same standards of a regular preschool, but isn’t big enough to be considered a school given its limited space.

Longboard Continued from Page 1

Although longboarding can be simple and fun, it takes more than just getting on a board and moving for ward. The different braking methods and variety of tricks take precise

Inside the building, a stairwell leads to the observation room, a place where parents, students and faculty can watch the toddlers without being noticed. The children, ages 3 to 5, have no idea they are being seen so their behavior isn’t impacted by the presence of a note-taking student or a curious parent.

Despite not bei ng of f icially considered a preschool, pa rent s – f rom st udent s to facu lt y to com mu n it y members – line up to get their children in the exclusive program.

“It’s a very long waiting list,” Hagen said, adding that open slots aren’t available until 2014. “We have children on our list who literally haven’t been born yet.”

Nicole Smith of the English f ac u lt y i s one of t hos e parents.

Smith said her 4-year-old son has been in the program for two years, but she signed up for the waiting list before he was born to get an open spot by the time he was ready.

“I learned of his acceptance a little bit before he would be ready to go,” Smith said. “It’s a very nurturing environment. I like the fact that there is a high ratio between adults and the children.”

Smith said proximity played

a role in deciding where to take her son and she had heard excellent things about the preschool, so she sent him there.

Elementary education junior Morgan Johnson is one of the students who assist teachers in the lab. Johnson said before

taking the early childhood-6 course (EC6), she spent several hours in the observation room paying attention to how the children interact and behave.

“I wish I was here more often,” Johnson said. “It gives me the chance to see what I

need to work on and improve on; it’s a learning process.”

Johnson said for EC6, a student must volunteer 25 hours at an elementary school, but she chose to do it in the lab because it was convenient and familiar. She said one of

the challenges she faces is disciplining the children, but she usually leaves that to the teacher.

“It’s a lot of work, but it’s fun,” Johnson said.

The students create lesson plans in which they teach the toddlers how to do a task as part of their course work. The teacher must approve the idea beforehand. Johnson said her lessons have included baking, a dramatic play and a science session with magnets. She plans to have a cooking lesson where she teaches how to make trail mix.

Students also sometimes accompany the children on field trips around the UNT campus.

The children are taken to music concerts in Voertman Ha ll, plays in t he Radio, TV, Film & Performing Arts Building, and a host of other educational programs available on campus throughout the year.

Hagen said there are fees to pay hired teachers and keep the school running.

“To me, they’re the most amazing people out there.

They’re fully people at this age; they’re not kids,” Hagen said.

“They’re constantly learning; they put the rest of us to shame at how hard they’re trying to pick up new information.”

skill and practice to perform, said Jonathan Tran, computer science sophomore and member of the group.

“It can be relaxing and it can be really scary. You can be going down a hill like 40 miles an hour, and that’s an adrenaline rush.

There’s so much to it,” he said.

Tran joined the club about

a month ago when a friend brought him to a meeting, and said the group helped him meet other students.

“Everyone in the club is pretty much my friend now,” he said.

“I’ve met a lot of people, and I bought a longboard just to be in the club.”

Though the club is active, it

is not yet official. Caldwell is working on the group’s constitution to turn in to the Student Activities Center for official status.

Once that’s through, the group can go on to bigger things that can benefit the overall community, Caldwell said. The group is scheduling a ride with

nonprofit Invisible Children.

There’s also a plan in the works for a trash-pickup ride to clean up the city’s streets. The group is open to anyone willing to ride and gain more experience in the fast-paced hobby.

Along with the joy of riding and making friends, a real bond is formed between members

when it comes to safety, said Jeffery Hagerman, a mechanical engineering freshman.

“Whenever we do things, we do it as a group. We watch out for each other,” he said. “When we’re riding down a hill, we watch out for cars and we’re very cautious about riding around.”

National society honors two UNT chemistry professors Daisy Silos Staff Writer

For the third consecutive year, the American Chemical Society has awarded UNT faculty members with fellowships. Diana Mason and Jim Marshall of the chemistry faculty were among the 213 fellows inducted at this fall’s ceremony in Denver.

The previous two members of the chemistry faculty selected are Angela Wilson and Wes Borden.

With more than 163,000 members, t he A mer ica n Chemical Society is the biggest nonprofit scientific society in the world. The group began in 2008 to recognize individuals for scientific achievement.

Mason said she always put the organization in an elite category and was shocked when she found out she’d won the award.

“I didn’t think I had a chance of getting this,” she said. “When I found out I actually got it, I was very pleased but blown away.”

Mason has been working at UNT for 11 years. She specializes in educational chemistry, and said most of her experiments attempt to discover ways to help students learn.

“It’s important that students learn chemistry because it’s a gateway course to a whole bunch of other majors,” she said.

Chipo Mungwira, a biology sophomore, said she’s glad Mason won the award because she thinks there is no professor more deserving than her.

“She lives chemistry,” she said.

“It shows how passionate she is whenever she does experiments; you can just tell by her reaction she loves it.”

Marshall joined the chemistry department at UNT in 1967, but left from 1981-1987 to work for Motorola before he returned to the department.

“It was an ideal situation

because I came back with an understanding of both worlds, the university and the industry,” he said.

Marshall said his first love has always been chemistry. At the age of 8, atom models fascinated him. Marshall said it was because of his father that he went on to pursue a degree in chemistry.

“It was there in his office, and listening to his lectures, that I became so intrigued with the subject,” he said.

He later fostered an interest in the history of chemistry beginning around the ‘90s, but it wasn’t until he married his wife, Virginia Marshall, in 1998 that they both plunged into the project that won him fellowship.

The two travelled to each site where elements were discovered. Afterward, they made a book and DVD about the history of the periodic table called “The Rediscovery of Elements.”

“We literally traveled to every

site where the elements were discovered,” he said.

“She had the photography and computer skills to document everything and we both loved to travel, so it was a perfect match.”

Now, they both travel across the country giving lecture tours at universities talking to students about their project.

Thomas Strom, an adjunct chemistry professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, nominated Marshall for the award.

“It was a massive undertaking and such a wonderful thing to do. I felt that had to be honored in some way and the ACS fellowship program was one way of doing so,” he said. “He has done a tremendous service to chemical education and he ought to win more awards in the chemical education line and I hope it happens some day.”

Coach brings winning pedigree to struggling program Coaching philosophy

Profile PAUL BOTTONI

Senior Staff Writer Just as Dan McCarney was hired to revitalize UNT football, Karen Aston was given the task of reviving the women’s basketball program.

On April 11, 2011, UNT made Aston its sixth women’s basketball head coach in school history with the hope that her experience and recruiting ability can help turn around a program that went 25-67 in the past three seasons.

“She has a work ethic that I think exceeds anybody in our business,” Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame head coach Jody Conradt said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been around anyone who is as hard working, as passionate and as diligent about doing their job as Karen.”

Aston was introduced to coaching while attending Bryant High School in Bryant, Ark., by her coach Tom Webb.

“I got a little bit of a taste of it when I was playing in high school,” Aston said. “My high school coach allowed me to help with the seventh-grade team.”

Aston said she emphasizes a fast-paced running offense but puts pride in her teams playing tough on the other end of the floor.

“If there’s one thing I love to hang my hat on, it’s hard-nose defense,” Aston said. “I don’t like teams to get an easy shot.”

Though the Mean Green has yet to play a game, senior guard Tamara Torru said Aston’s influence is already noticeable.

“She’s teaching us to finish games,” Torru said. “Every day might not be our best day, but

everything we’re doing now is better than where we’ve been.”

Learning from a legend Aston was an assistant coach at UNT from 1996-1998 before joining Conradt’s coaching staff at the University of Texas.

“I was most impressed with her ability to recruit and connect with student athletes, and I hired her primarily on that knowledge,” Conradt said. “But what I found out very quickly was that she is very knowledgeable about the game.”

Aston stayed at UT until 2006 and said the experience working with Conradt was invaluable.

“I could write a book about the experiences I had working with Jody,” Aston said. “You don’t realize what you learn from someone like that until you leave them. Everything she did, she did with class, and she understood

what it is to run a program – not just a team.”

Following her time at UT and a brief stint as the associate head coach at Baylor University in 2006-2007, Aston became the head coach of the UNC-Charlotte women’s basketball team.

From 2008-2011, the 49ers won 86 games and made four consecutive postseason appearances, including a trip to the NCAA Tournament in the 2008-2009 season.

Return to UNT While the Aston-led 49ers flourished, UNT floundered.

The Mean Green finished no higher than fourth place in the Sun Belt Conference West Division in three seasons under Shanice Stephens, who was fired following the 2010-2011 season.

Aston’s ties to UT, recruiting ability and coaching success caught UNT’s attention when looking for Stephens’ replacement.

“I think one of the big pluses was she had been here before,” deputy athletic director Hank Dickenson said. “She had a hand in recruiting two of the best players in the program’s history: Jalie Mitchell – who is on her staff – and Rosalyn Reades.”

“I love living in Texas; I love

the basketball in Texas,” Aston said. “I wanted to go someplace where I really felt I could put myself in the trenches of a program and not pick up and leave again.”

Mean Green ready to face season of change Women’s Basketball BRETT MEDEIROS & A LEX YOUNG Staff Writers

There’s no way to sugarcoat it: In a season that ended with a 5-25 record and a first-round exit in its conference tournament, the Mean Green women’s basketball team hit rock-bottom last year.

The firing of former head coach Shanice Stephens this offseason was the first step in the program’s effort to start anew this year.

With new head coach Karen Aston leading the way, UNT will try to shake off a season of disappointment and use a slew of adjustments to move forward in 2011.

“There is change, but the word is culture,” Aston said. “Changing the culture and expectations around here in every area, on the court; off the court.”

Freshmen can make an early impact Coach Aston’s recruiting prowess is well documented in Denton – Aston brought two UNT Athletic Hall of Famers, Jalie Mitchell and Rosaly n Reades, as a UNT assistant coach between 1996-1998.

UNT adds five new recruits Brief PAUL BOTTONI

Senior Staff Writer On the verge of starting its 2011-2012 season, the UNT women’s basketba ll team announced the signing of five Texas high school players to letters of intent Wednesday.

The Mean Green added two guards – Briana Brooks and Loryn Goodwin – and three forwards – Eboniey Jeter, I’Tiana

Taylor and Acheil Tac. “I think we addressed every position,” Aston said. “To get in on all these players fairly late in the process and put together this type of class is really amazing.”

Aston, who was hired in April to replace former head coach Shanice Stephens, has experienced success in recruiting players to UNT. As an assistant coach for the Mean Green from 1996-1998, Aston helped recruit two of the program’s notable players: UNT Hall of Fame

members Jalie Mitchell and Rosalyn Reades.

U p o n finishing their high school careers, the KAREN five signees ASTON will join the Mean Green for the 2012-2013 season.

Playoff loss shouldn’t erase early success Soccer Bobby Lewis

Senior Staff Writer Following the UNT soccer team this season reminded me how cruel sports can be.

UNT (14-4-3, 8-1-1) hit its highest point on t he f ina l night of the regular season w hen it beat Denver for t he f irst time in si x yea rs to be c ome t he Su n Belt Conference regular season champions.

Si x days later, it was a ll over.

T he t op -s e e d e d Me a n Green beat Troy in the first round of the conference tournament before succumbing to Western Kentucky, the same team that eliminated UNT last season, in t he semif inals.

T he fact t hat UN T lost wasn’t really the cruel part.

It’s t he fact t hat it lost on p e n a lt y k ic k s a f t e r 110 minutes of scoreless play, one of the most excruciating ways to have a season end.

It’s the fact that its best offensive player, junior for ward Michelle Young, missed a shot with less than a minute to play in regulation that was no more than a few inches to the right of the goal.

Despite the disappointing end, it would be foolish to forget how good this team was.

For t he f irst t ime since 20 05, U N T c apt u re d t he reg ular season conference title and went unbeaten at home. The team got over the hump with a home win over the Pioneers and played in front of a record crowd of 1,283 fans during a 2-1 win over SMU at the Mean Green Soccer Complex.

UNT a lso boasted a n outstanding defense that led

t he conference in goa ls allowed (0.76 per game), goals against average (0.74 per game) and shutouts (11).

With that in mind, the co-MVPs of the team have to be f resh ma n goa l ie Jackie Kerestine and her backline of defenders.

That’s not a slig ht at UN T’s prol i f ic of fense, which consistently ranked as a top-20 offense in the nation during the last half of the season, but great de f e n s e c r e a t e s g r e a t offense.

Ker e s t i ne r e g i s t er e d one of the best individual seasons in the program’s 17-year history, finishing t he yea r w it h a schoolrecord goa ls aga i nst average of 0.71.The scary thing for the rest of the conference is t hat she’s only a freshman and as Hedlund put it, she still has a lot of room to improve.

T hat sa id, Kere st i ne wou ld n’t h ave e x per ienced t he success she did without her starting back l i ne of defender s : seniors Sha nnon Gorrie a nd Ha n na h Cr aw ford a nd sophomores Kelsey Hodges, Shelly Holt and Allison Guderian (before she was sidelined with an ankle injury).

Team Grade: AThe only thing missing from this impressive season was a conference tournament title

Team hasn’t met early expectations Volleyball A lex Young & Brett Medeiros Staff Writers

With all the preseason hype surrounding the UNT volleyball team, which was projected to win the West Division for the second straight year, it’s hard to say this season was a success.

The team sits in third place in the West and will likely receive the sixth seed in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

With just one road match against Denver separating UNT from the postseason, let’s take a look at some of the ups and downs that was Mean Green Volleyball 2011.

The story of the season The Mean Green started its 2011 campaign with a bang. UNT opened with a 9-5 record and won its only tournament, the Islander Classic, in early September.

As the schedule continued, the team encountered some struggles. After winning nine nonconference matches, UNT sputtered in conference play, going 1-6 and 0-4 on the road in its first seven Sun Belt matches.

Injuries to senior outside hitter Shelley Morton that kept her out of more than 20 games and inconsistency with the setter position were two pressing issues all season.

Eventually the Mean Green recovered with two huge road wins against Troy and South Alabama, securing a playoff spot with a sweep of UALR at home last week.

Defining match With each season comes a key make-or-break moment that will determine a team’s fate.

UNT’s time came last week against division-leader Arkansas State in Denton. The Mean Green rose to the occasion, winning the

match in straight sets.

The team hit its secondhighest percentage of the season (.351) and its highest in a Sun Belt match since 2008.

From the opening serve, the team looked determined.

ASU had a chance to clinch the West Division, but the Mean Green had none of it.

Senior middle blocker Melanie Boykins lead the charge, hitting .500 and landing 10 kills.

It was UNT’s best match of the year and proof that when it puts its mind in the right place, the Mean Green can compete with Sun Belt elite.

Team MVP Leading the Mean Green backcourt stands a senior who has been a fixture at the libero position since her freshman year.

Sarah Willey has averaged 4.34 digs per set, is second in school history in career digs with 1,746 and has played in every Mean Green set for the last four years. Willey led the team with 468 digs and provided the leadership and enthusiasm needed to guide the Mean Green’s eight underclassmen.

The future The future is bright for this team, but in the frontcourt, a window is closing. Five of the six graduating seniors are outside hitters, middle blockers and a setter. All three positions are vital to a consistent Mean Green offensive attack that has been a strength for the team all season.

The team will need to rebuild in the frontcourt around two freshmen who will be stars of the team in upcoming years. Eboni Godfrey and Hallie McDonald have proved they are players who can thrive in the future.

Team Grade: CThe team failed to conquer its division, but can improve its final grade in the conference playoffs.

Where they stand for next season

The men’s and women’s crosscountry teams finish up their seasons on Saturday at the South Central Regional Championships in Waco. As the season draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on the teams’ season and see where they stand in 2012.

Heading into next season, the men look to be in good shape, as the team will only lose senior Michael Sandoval. The team will have the experience that it lacked this season, as the seven current freshmen will have a year of college running under their belts. Look for the team to improve to third or fourth in the conference next fall.

The women will face the challenge of replacing Mollenkopf and Dietz, who have earned All-Conference honors in back-toback seasons. This will not be an easy task, but the team will return nine runners including Rice, Arends, Morales and freshman Blake Geary, who comprised the third-sixth runners at the SBC Championships. If head coach Sam Burroughs can successfully recruit in the offseason, the women should not drop off much.

Staff Writer

Tale of two teams The men’s cross-country team finished seventh at the Sun Belt Championships. The team lacked the depth to compete and a Top 10 runner to lead the way, which was evident all season long. At the Sun Belt Championships, the team didn’t place a runner in the Top 20 and brought its third-fifth runners in 31st, 42nd, and 45th.

Despite a mediocre finish at the SBC Championships, the team did have success in bringing its young runners – seven of the team’s 10 members are freshmen – along as they showed steady improvement as the season progressed and became acclimated to running at the college level.

Much more can be said about the success of the women’s team this semester. After taking sixth at last year’s SBC Championships, the women rose to second this season, their highest finish since 2003. Shoring up the team’s depth allowed for this rise. Last season, then-juniors Ingrid Mollenkopf and Sara Dietz were Top 10 finishers at the championships, but poor finishes from the third-fifth runners plagued the team (34th, 48th and 60th).

Mollenkopf and Dietz led the way again by placing third and sixth at the SBC Championships.

However, it was the third-fifth runners freshmen Hanna Rice, Ellie Arends, and Leesa Morales, who made the difference at the conference championships. The group elevated UNT’s placing

MVPs Sandoval was the MVP for the men this season. Although he may not even have been the most talented runner on the team, Sandoval finished first for the team in three out of the five meets, including the SBC Championships, where he set an 8k personal best of 26:33 and finished 24th. He also provided veteran leadership for a very young team.

Without a doubt, Mollenkopf was the women’s MVP. She finished first for the team in each of the three meets she competed in for the second straight season.

Mollenkopf saved her best performance for the most important meet of the season: the SBC Championships. Her thirdplace finish was the key to UNT finishing second at the conference playoff.

Do you believe Penn State is handling the recent child molestation scandal adequately?

“There should have been action taken beforehand. [Head Coach Joe Peterno] shouldn’t be able to continue in his duties. He should be made to step down or voluntarily step down at this time, and let the investigation continue as it is, give as much information as he can, not to try and withhold anything. It’ll be a better name for Penn State.”

Jana Ward

Logistics and supply chain management junior

“I think they should take more drastic action instead of just letting him retire, and if they don’t do it before then, then it’s pretty unfair for him to do something so horrible and go unpunished.”

Gloria Carlos

Speech pathology freshman

“No, I don’t think he’s getting the opportunity, Joe Paterno that is, to tell the people, the public, what’s going on. I think the fact that they cancelled his press conference was atrocious because he actually wants to confess and, you know, let the man do it.”

Staff Editorial

Cain should bow out for party’s sake It wouldn’t be election season if there wasn’t at least one train wreck of a campaign dominating the political landscape. This year’s calamity of a candidate is pizza mogul Herman Cain.

Cain – the GOP front-runner for the nomination – is weathering allegations of sexual misconduct from five separate women. Cain has claimed he doesn’t remember any of the allegations but one, and that allegation he says was found to be baseless. It should be noted that the “baseless accusation” ended in a $45,000 financial settlement.

When asked if he planned on withdrawing from the election, Cain kept it simple.

“Ain’t gonna happen.”

It is surprising that Cain would so bluntly dismiss the idea of withdrawing from an election over an allegation.

Campaigns have been crippled by far less significant issues than sexual harassment.

Look at Howard Dean’s 2004 run at the Democratic ticket. Dean looked like a strong candidate, and two syllables derailed his hope. A scream meant to rally support ultimately made him look like a lunatic. Democrats took notice and he lost the ticket to John Kerry.

Michael Dukakis – the Democratic candidate in 1988 – faced a similar situation when a photo of him driving a tank surfaced. It’s hard to imagine

anyone looking silly when driving a camouflaged war machine, but Dukakis somehow managed to do so. George H. W. Bush ended up using the picture as a part of his own campaign to show the country what an unconvincing leader he would be. Public relations moves that go awry are still described as “Dukakis in the tank” moments.

The fact that those seemingly innocuous moments did irreversible damage to the campaigns of these individuals just highlights America’s knee-jerk reaction to politics. That reaction feeds the media hype, which in cases such as these only detracts from the party’s message and efficacy.

Reuters’ polls show that 40 percent

of U.S. Republicans view Cain less favorably after watching a video of a woman accusing him of groping her.

Even Cain admits it’s natural for people to be instinctively turned off a candidate because of allegations.

If Cain is truly running for president because he wants to see a successful Grand Old Party, then the best thing he could do is withdraw his candidacy.

His negative publicity is affecting all of the candidates. When the allegations first happened, the GOP essentially shut down for a week to deal with the media mess.

Cain might have been a serious candidate two months ago, but now he’s only delaying the inevitable.

Disabled immigrants Commercialized deserve better space flight could aid legal representation weakened economy In 2009, President Obama vowed to overhaul the nation’s immigration detention system. Since then, his administration has taken some steps to deliver on that promise, such as providing detainees improved access to medical care and closing troubled facilities. But it has yet to provide the most meaningful fix: ensuring that indigent immigrants in detention have access to legal counsel.

Until now, federal courts have held that only criminal defendants are entitled to court-appointed counsel. An immigration case, even if it involves detention, is a civil matter. As a result, the vast majority of detainees, including children and the mentally ill, are forced to represent themselves in immigration court.

This month, however, a federal judge in Los Angeles could help bring some fairness to the system.

U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee has been asked to decide whether to grant class action status in a lawsuit brought on behalf of mentally disabled immigrant detainees who don’t have the money to pay for legal representation.

If Gee certifies the class under the Rehabilitation Act, which requires the government to accommodate people with disabilities, it could help hundreds, if not thousands, of people.

A 2011 study, headed by a federal judge, found that immigrants with lawyers are five times more likely to win their cases than those without.

Put simply, an immigrant’s access to an attorney can be as important as the facts in his or her case.

The only reasonable solution is to provide attorneys to those immigrant detainees who need them. It would cost, of course, but due process comes with a price. And in some cases, assigning lawyers to detainees could actually lead to savings.

The government spends an average of $40,000 a year on each detainee.

Providing lawyers could help screen those cases. If a detainee had no legal case or grounds for relief, his attorney could explain that to him, and he would probably agree to leave the country rather than remain in detention, sometimes for years.

As retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens noted in May, the need for legal representation for immigrants has grown so acute and the consequences so drastic that something must be done. Providing mentally disabled detainees court-appointed counsel is an important first step.

This column originally appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.

Boeing’s decision to locate its new commercial space operation on Florida’s Space Coast carries a heav y payload of significance for the state’s economy and the future of the U.S. space program.

In a hangar at Kennedy Space Center where shuttle orbiters used to be maintained, Boeing – one of the world’s leading aerospace companies – will build a capsule desig ned to ca r r y up to seven astronauts to the International Space Station, as long as Congress provides enough funding.

Boeing is expected to create 140 badly needed jobs on the Space Coast over the next 18 months and 550 jobs there by 2015. Admittedly, that’s just a fraction of the thousands of jobs the region lost after the shuttle program ended earlier this year.

But it’s another sign, like last year’s first successful launch and recovery of a private rocket into orbit by SpaceX, that the transition to the commercial era in space t ravel is ga ining speed.

And Florida, with what Gov. Rick Scott correctly described as its “world-class facilities and workforce expertise needed for aerospace companies to succeed,” is

well positioned to capitalize.

L a st yea r P resident Oba ma announced a plan to shutter the shuttle program – sticking to a timetable set by President Bush years earlier – and turn over to pr ivate compa n ies t he job of carrying crews and cargo to the space station.

Critics don’t like the fact that NA SA must rely on Russia to carry U.S. astronauts to the space station until private companies are ready, which might not happen until 2016. But the current U.S. launch gap ref lects years of poor planning and funding decisions

by NASA, Congress and the White House.

Florida has the potential to gain more good jobs as the commercial space industry matures. State and local leaders were wise to cooperate to get Boeing and they’ll need to keep working together to court other companies.

The compet it ion f rom ot her states ­– even other countries – is fierce. A new industry is lifting off and Boeing is powering the launch.
