Council tasked with improving enrollment, retention ISAAC WRIGHT

Senior Staff Writer UNT’s freshman retention rate has consistently increased for the past six years, but the loss of 6,400 students last year prompted administrators to focus on keeping students at the university. The UNT student population decreased by about 20 percent last year w ith the

loss of about 6,400 students compared to fall 2010 enrollment, amounting to about $37 million loss in revenue. Student enrollment at UNT also dropped by about one percent this semester. The $ 37 million loss in revenue is not money taken out of this year’s budget, but is money that will not come in with UNT’s incoming fall class,

said Warren Burggren, provost and v ice president for academic a f f a i r s. He s a i d t h e r e WARREN has been no BURGGREN discussion of an increase in tuition to offset the loss of students.

The decrease has prompted them to repurpose a council intended to focus on enrollment into t he President’s Enrollment and Retention Council. The council w ill consist of facu lt y a nd administrators from around campus. “This retention vineyard is one we’ve had people toiling in for a while,” said Dale Tampke,

dean of undergraduate studies and member of the council. “We’re not just now picking up the shovels. We want to make sure students make some kind of personal connection to the institution.” Prior to the recent enrollment drop, UNT saw a rise in its freshmen retention rate for six consecutive years. The current retention rate is more

than 78 percent. The University of Texas at Arlington’s freshman retention rate was 74 percent as of September 2011, while Texas Tech and the University of Texas at Da llas both have retention rates of more than 80 percent, according to universities’ web sites.

SGA discusses Union master plan JUSTIN BRIGHT Intern

Student representatives of the University Union Master Plan Committee presented an artist’s rendering of the proposed Union during Wednesday’s Student G over n ment A s s o c i at ion meeting. Pending a vote, the proposed new Union would replace the existing Union, with construction possibly beginning in the summer of 2013. The SGA will be presented with a final design during a meeting February 29. “The current Union’s infrastructure is failing. The first phase was built 40 years ago, with an expansion added 30 years ago,” said Laura Horn, a business freshman and Greek Council student representative on the Union Master Plan

Committee. “It is grandfathered into safety codes, but it doesn’t technically meet them.” The proposed Union’s design will feature a combination of contemporary style with the traditional red brick look of the Hurley Administration Building. “There will be a lot more glass and visibility through the inside and outside of the building,” said Zane Reif, the University Union director and director of the Union Master Plan Committee. “It won’t stick out, it will blend in nicely with the campus.” The facility could potentially house up to 10 separate dining areas and a two-story Syndicate where the Lyceum is now located.

Bruce Waggoner is seen through one of the dream catchers he made at his sister’s home in Flower Mound on Feb. 2. Wagoner was released from jail 19 months ago for the fourth and “last time,” he said, and has since found solace making more than 300 of the Native American charms for abused children through the Children Advocacy Center for Denton County. “You don’t have to have money or be famous to help people. God has a plan for me, and I guess it has something to do with making these dreamcatchers,” he said.

Business junior David Schuler, co-chair of the Union Master Plan Committee, unveils an initial artist rendering of the proposed new Union during the Student Government Association meeting Wednesday in Terrell Hall. If approved, construction could begin by summer 2013, Schuler said.

Bruce Waggoner spent 37 years in the crime world. He’s been to jail four times, all for drug-related offenses. He was in a motorcycle gang in East Texas and even has a tattoo on his right forearm of his motorcycle’s name,

“Jingles.” He said he’s done a lot of bad in his life: now it’s time to do good. A f t e r Wa g g o n e r w a s released from jail 19 months ago, he began working with t he Ch i ld ren’s Advocac y Center for Denton County (CACDC) by donating handmade d rea mc atcher s to

the center. Waggoner has since donated more t han 100 dreamcatchers to the CACDC for sexually abused children who have nightmares. “The counselors there said parents were telling them, ‘my kid slept all night with no nightmares,’” Waggoner

said. “I give them the actual legend of the dreamcatcher too. It’s nice that they have somet hing t hey can hold in their hands. It’s good for them to think their nightmares got tangled up in the web of the catcher.”

A picture of Bruce Waggoner’s sister Vicki Gerhardt and his cat Macy Mae hang on the wall in his sister’s home in Flower Mound on Feb. 2. Gerhardt took Waggoner in after he was released from jail for the fourth time 19 months ago. “Macy Mae is my life,” he said, adding he can no longer enjoy his favorite pastime – riding his Harley motorcycle. “Jesus and them were outlaws. Now I’m an outlaw for God,” he said.

Dan Leal, executive director for the Children Advocacy Center for Denton County, said the counselors at the center distribute the dreamcatchers to kids when they complain about bad dreams. Childhelp.org reports that about 81 percent of 21-year-olds that were abused as children met criteria for at least one psychological disorder. A ssociate psycholog y professor Shelley Riggs said abuse is common throughout childhood. By the time most abused children are college-age, they are able to verbalize the abuse they experienced. “They may feel shame about

their sexuality or body,” Riggs said. “They may attempt to prevent another incident by being hyperaware in certain situations, like when disrobing or sleeping. Ninety percent of the time, victims experience abuse from someone close to them, like a family member or family friend.” The center works with 750 children between the ages of three and 17. More than 50 of them have received dreamcatchers so far. “We have about 350 kids in our counseling program right now,” Leal said. “Every year, we interview about 200 more kids. We’re always looking for new people to help us out. Bruce is proof that anyone can contribute and anyone can be forgiven.”

Lawsuit targets Google privacy policy (MCT) SAN FRANCISCO – A consumer watchdog has escalated its efforts to block Google from rolling out a controversial new privacy policy that would allow the Internet search giant to harvest more information about its users. But the Electronic Privacy Information Center is not suing Google. Instead, it filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the Federal Trade Commission, t he agenc y cha rged w it h protecting consumers’ privacy on the Web. In a n unusua l end-r un around the FTC, the watchdog group is asking a federal judge to issue a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to compel federal regulators to enforce a settlement they reached with Google last year and protect consumers who w ill be “left w it hout recourse if the commission fails to enforce its order.” Google settled charges last year that it violated privacy laws by exposing Gmail users’ personal information when rolling out its now-defunct Google Buzz social networking service. The breach prompted a n a ng r y back la sh f rom consumers and privacy advocates who say the Mountain View, Calif., company disclosed personal information without their knowledge or consent. The 20-year settlement put Google on notice that it had to build privacy protection into its products and could not misrepresent how it handles users’ information. Last month, Google began

a lerting users around the globe that beginning March 1 it will share data it collects from users across its dozens of services. Google says that only users who are logged into Google will be affected. Google already shared what it knew about its users across most of its services, but now it will also include YouTube and Google search history. Google says its new privacy policy does not violate the

its online advertising business, which generated nearly $40 billion in revenue last year. Google will now be able to target ads to people based on the videos they watch on YouTube or their prev ious Google searches. “If some users like t he Google change in terms of service, that’s OK. They should opt in. But if other users don’t like the proposed change, they have the right to say no,” said

“But if other users don’t like the proposed change, they have the right to say no.” —Marc Rotenberg Executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center settlement it reached with the FTC. “We take privacy very seriously. We’re happy to engage in constructive conversations about our updated privacy policy but EPIC is wrong on the facts and the law,” a Google spokesman said in an emailed statement. Google says its new privacy policy will improve Google services and make Google’s privacy policies easier for consumers to understand. A Google spokesman said it does not share users’ personal information outside of Google, just with its own services such as Gmail and Google Maps. The consumer group charges that Google is hoping to boost

the consumer group’s executive director, Marc Rotenberg. “This has to be the user’s choice, not Google’s choice. And the FTC must enforce its consent order to protect the rights of users to make these choices.” With rising competition from Facebook, which is on the verge of an initial public offering that could bring $10 billion and a valuation that tops $100 billion, Google is looking to increase revenue from ads more closely tailored to its users. Facebook took the lead in U.S. online display ads from Yahoo last year with a 16.3 percent share of the market, according to research

firm eMarketer. Google, the dominant search engine, came in third with 9.3 percent of the market. “Google’s new business practices increase the commercial value of a given user’s data,” the court filing said. Washington legislators have called on Google to explain the changes. And Google has run into resistance in Europe. Regulators there have asked Google to delay the rollout of the new policy until they can investigate how the changes will affect consumers. Google has said it plans to move forward even as the European Commission looks to overhaul its data protection rules to make them more stringent. Recent settlements that the FTC has reached with Google a nd Facebook signa l t hat federal regulators are cracking down on how Internet companies use information they harvest from their users. “The FTC takes compliance with our consent orders very seriously and always looks carefully at any evidence that they are being violated,” FTC spokeswoman Claudia Bourne Farrell said in an emailed statement. Rya n Ca lo, director for privacy at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, said the courts would probably defer to the FTC. “Ultimately it will rest in the hands of the FTC to decide whether Google’s new privacy policy constitutes a violation of the consent order,” Calo said.

Student muralist brings art to Denton locales Emily Peek Intern

Hundreds of Denton residents come across the artwork of printmaking senior Mick Burson every day – in backyards, corporate offices and almost everywhere in between – although many might not realize it. Burson, 21, has painted close to 100 murals in Denton and his hometown of Waco, including a vibrant piece on the side of Voertman’s Bookstore and about eight or nine other works scattered across Denton in bars, salons and galleries. Burson first took up muralpainting as a hobby, but it quickly evolved into something more. He said he has been an artist his whole life and is regularly commissioned to do work in Waco, where he is more well known. In Denton, he has to go out and look for it. “You have to be persistent, otherwise people will forget about you,” Burson said. “You just kind of have to find opportunities.” Burson uses spray paint for outdoor art and latex paint for indoor work to avoid the harmful fumes of spray paint. He has been paid up to $1,000 for one of his murals but often works for just the cost of materials. He holds a job at Papa

Murphy’s Pizza to make ends meet. Burson said he had a lot of help when he first started out, so he lends a hand to classmates interested in learning how to paint murals. He said everyone has to start somewhere. “You kind of do the not-sofun stuff at the beginning, and eventually you work your way up,” Burson said. Photography freshman Mike Carpenter has been filming Burson for about six months, documenting Burson’s prolific mural making. They work together about twice a month, he said. Carpenter said Burson is the only artist he films because he thinks Burson’s artistic process is worth sharing with the world. “Mick does things differently, the way he goes about his artwork is so unique, and I feel like people need to see the process behind it,” Carpenter said. “It is so entertaining, I love it.” Despite frequently working outdoors and on walls, Burson said he does not consider his work graffiti because there is an element of control present in his murals. “Around here there is no real graffiti, like, what I do is not even graffiti because graffiti

Burson’s inspiration came from the slums of Brazil and Mexico. is just like complete freedom,” Burson said. “Real graffiti does not exist in Denton.” With many of his murals, he is allowed to choose what he paints. This allows some freedom, but some of his clients ask him to meet certain speci-

fications. “I always wanted a mural on the outside of the building,” said Robin Huttash, owner of A Creative Art STUDIO. “You know when you meet someone and realize they are just a special person, that’s how it

was with him.” A Creative Art STUDIO, on the corner of Oak Street and Bolivar Street, is where Burson’s most recent mural is located. Burson said his latest piece was inspired by the stacked

buildings seen in the slums of Mexico and Brazil. “I call it like a dancer on the wall, because the art just flows out of him,” Huttash said. To see more of Burson’s artwork and Carpenter’s videos, visit www.mickburson.com.

Executive chef Pierre Monticolombi prepares lunch in the kitchen of the Bruce Hall cafeteria. Monticolombi also organizes and supervises the staff in the kitchen.

Cafeteria chef, staff serve hundreds a day Holly H arvey

Senior Staff Writer A 3:30 a.m. wake-up time and an hour-long drive to serve more than 4,000 meals a day to endless lines of hungry UNT students is just part of the job for Bruce Cafeteria executive chef Pierre Monticolombi. The dedicated chefs and cooks staffing UNT’s five resident dining cafeterias do it all, from ordering and preparing the food to cleaning every surface, whatever it takes to keep the thousands of students who pour in happy. “It’s no small feat to feed this many people daily,” Monticolombi said. “I enjoy turning out so many meals with my team.” Ca feter ia workers a re constantly on their toes to keep things running smoothly, Bruce cafeteria cook Glenn Williams said. Williams works with soup, sandwiches and vegetables, and said it was critical to keep fresh food available for students. “We’re busy, busy, busy,” Williams said. “But I like it.” Coming up with quality dishes on a budget for students is one of

“We serve everybody just as we would serve ourselves.”

—Bruce Williams Bruce Cafeteria cook

Monticolombi’s many tasks. Monticolombi has previously worked in four and five star hotels in countries around the world and adapts the cafeteria menus here to work with a relatively smaller budget. “With the budget here, you don’t get $50, $60 or $70 dollars a plate like you do at hotels,” he said. “Being creative is really important. You can be creative with anything.” Extensive planning goes into making sure daily operations aren’t interrupted, said Peggy Lee, a Bruce cafeteria meat cook who has been working at UNT for 26 years. Checking the food and preparing it for the day ahead is

a crucial task, she said. “You have to prep everything and really make sure you have enough of it,” Lee said. The staff tries to accommodate students’ preferences and serves up whatever is in high demand. “We have a lot of different food,” she said. “I talked to the chef about what kids here like. They like a lot of food, and they love pizza.” The chef is also responsible for organizing the staff and supervising them, which isn’t always a cakewalk, Monticolombi said. Understaffing can be an issue, especially when employees can’t make it to work, he said. Despite the daily struggles, positive feedback makes the job worthwhile, Monticolombi said. The Bruce cafeteria comment board is covered in compliments, questions and even a suggestion that Batman lives at Bruce Cafeteria, apparently fed up with the cost of living in Gotham City. “We serve everybody just as we would serve ourselves,” Williams said. “It’s a lot of work, but we do our best.”

Communit y members and visitors alike can get a taste of home at the firstever Earthwise Local Food Festival this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The event, sponsored by Denton-based produce company Earthwise Gardens, will feature local foods, live music and an art show, “Wise Earth: Art & Land in Texas,” featuring artists from across the state. UN T a lu m nus Rya n Crocker is the owner of Ea r t hw ise Ga rdens, a company he started last year to help promote local sustainable agriculture. “It [the festival] is a great way to take a break from studying,” Crocker said. “People can come out and enjoy some good food, some live music and the local community.” Admission to the festival is $10, which covers a free beer from Independent Ale Works of Aubrey and samples of local meat and produce. Part of the cost will go toward Crocker’s Earthwise Produce Store, scheduled to open in March. “I think it builds a lot of community and engages the community in a really special way,” Crocker said. “As much of that stuff as we can get local makes for a more sustainable environment, and it just tastes fresher.” The festival will be at 728 North Elm St., the future location of Earthwise Produce. Cupboard Natural Foods, a natural and organic grocery store on W. Congress Street, also contributes to the local food industry by purchasing products such as beef, eggs and produce from nearby farms. “All of the farms we support provide products that are healthier for you,” J.P. Magee, a manager at Cupboard Natural Foods, said. “As far as our produce goes, a lot of it is certified organic, but all of it is pesticide free which is something

Ryan Crocker, owner of Earthwise Gardens, checks on the organic purple turnips he bought Wednesday. “Eat your own zipcode!” Crocker said jokingly, adding that he travels weekly to Austin for select produce to sell. Earthwise Gardens will host its first food festival from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, featuring live music and an art gallery. we support.” UNT has taken steps to reduce its environmental impact and buy local food products as well. UNT Dining Services, in partnership with the Ben E. Keith Foods Company, has reduced the number of deliveries the company makes to the campus from 17 to three a week, according to the UNT Sustainability website. The company also ensures

that food delivered to campus is as local as possible with the help of a new delivery truck that makes exclusive deliveries to UNT. “It first helps boost the local economy,” said Yvette Andablo, a political science senior and special assistant for UNT Sustainability. “Also, if products are bought and sold locally, it helps reduce our carbon footprint.”

Conference showdown game-changers UNT vs FIU: Players to Watch Z C/S W

UNT

FIU

Women’s Basketball

Sophomore Guard

Senior Guard

UNT will need all hands on deck when it tries to control the Sun Belt Conference scoring leader Jerica Coley. The sophomore guard is averaging 24.3 points per game, has scored in double figures in all 23 of FIU’s games this year and is also an All-American candidate. Coley also averages 7.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.2 blocks per game, which rank tenth, fourth and first respectively in the conference. She is averaging 39 minutes a game and is without a doubt the Most Valuable Player of the Sun Belt Conference.

The senior guard has been the Mean Green’s best all-around performer of the year and ranks in the top 15 of the Sun Belt Conference in eight different statistical categories, including rebounding, steals and free throw shooting percentage. Torru will be one of the main defenders used by head coach Karen Aston to try and stop the Sun Belt Conference scoring leader Jerica Coley.

Tamara Torru

Jerica Coley

Junior Forward

Redshirt Senior Guard

Coming off a 12-point effort against Middle Tennessee last Thursday in which she surpassed 1,000 career points, Godbolt will be an integral part of the Mean Green offense throughout the game. Godbolt is averaging 13.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, which is eighth and fourth, respectively, in the conference.

Hutlassa is coming off of her best game of the season, accumulating 17 points, six rebounds and five steals in a 51-49 loss to Florida Atlantic on Saturday. Hutlassa averages 2.2 steals per game, fourth best in the conference, and could spend time guarding Torru or Nelson.

Jasmine Godbolt

Fanni Hutlassa

Sophomore Guard

Junior Forward

Nelson, who has asked head coach Karen Aston to guard the opponent’s best offensive player, will likely spend time on Fanni Hutlassa and Jerica Coley. The second-year guard will also need to hit some three-point shots like she did in her best game of the season, against Louisiana-Lafayette, where she was 4-for-6 from three-point range.

The 6-foot-1 junior and the team’s best interior defender will have a tough test when Jasmine Godbolt comes to town. If Mansare gets in foul trouble early in the game, UNT could have a field day in the paint. Mansare is averaging 1.7 blocks per game, second best in the conference behind her teammate Coley.

UNT travels to Florida for nationally-televised matchup Men’s Basketball B RET T M EDEIROS Senior Staff Writer

The UNT men’s basketba l l tea m w i l l k ick of f a Florida road trip as it takes on Florida International in a nationally-televised matchup Thursday. The Mean Green will take on Florida Atlantic, the Sun Belt Conference’s other Florida school, on Saturday. The FIU game can be viewed online at espn3.com and on the Sun Belt Television Network. “They are one of the most talented teams in our league,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “They have won their last two games, and it will be a really tough test and a great matchup for us.” The Mean Green’s matchup with the FIU Golden Panthers (7-15, 4-6) will be the first meeting of the season between the teams. Since UNT (13-10, 6-4) joined the Sun Belt in 2000, the Mean Green has won 10 of the 13 games against FIU, with the last matchup ending in a 10-point victory for UNT, 87-77. “We need to tr y and go inside early and get them in a little foul trouble,” junior guard Brandan Walton said. “We need to be aggressive on

the ball and get to the [free throw] line. Free throws win games.” Rebounds and assists could play a role in the game, as UNT ranks in the top half of the conference in both categories. The Mean Green averages 38.3 rebounds and 12 assists per game. This season in conference play, the Mean Green has out-rebounded conference opponents by an average margin of 1.3 per game, while t he Golden Pant hers have been out-rebounded 1.5 per game. FIU also ranks dead last in the conference, with 9.1 assists per game. However, FIU only has two players averaging more than 1.5 assists per game, meaning the Mean Green must expect every member of the Golden Panthers to penetrate into the paint and find an open shooter. “Ever yone on t hat team [FIU] is going to be handling t he ba l l,” sen ior for wa rd Alonzo Edwards said. “We’ll be a little out of our element with post-to-post ball screens, but if we do everything we’ve been practicing, we should come out with a victory.” The teams will tip off at 6 p.m. Thursday at the U.S. Century Bank Arena in Miami, Fla.

The Nanny Agency Nannies needed

With the help of first-year head coach Karen Aston, the UNT women’s basketball team has completely bounced back from last year’s 5-25 campaign with a 13-10 start to the 2011-2012 season. In terms of wins, UNT currently has the second biggest turnaround from last year to this season in the NCAA. Which team ranks ahead of the Mean Green with the largest turnaround from last season in Division I women’s college basketball? Answer: The Cal State Northridge team has notched the biggest turnaround, winning ten games more than last season so far. The Matadors are 14-9 after going 4-26 last year.

UNT continues tough road against ranked TCU Tennis TYLER OWENS Staff Writer

Sophomore long jumper Trevor Noel practices Wednesday at Fouts Field. The Mean Green will compete in an invitational at the Iowa State Classic on Saturday.

Top performers return for Mean Green in Iowa Track JOSH F RIEMEL Intern

After having its best meet in Lubbock last weekend, the UNT track and f ield team looks to keep its hot streak going at the Iowa State Classic in Ames, Iowa in the threeday meet. The Mean Green will have its top performers in every event competing this week, unlike last week when the sprinters and the team’s top distance runners, senior Sara Dietz and junior Matt Russ, didn’t compete. Head coach Carl Sheffield sa id he hopes t he tea m’s performa nce continues to improve as they get closer to the Sun Belt Championships, which start in late February. Shef f ield a l so s a id he expects his athletes to close in on some personal bests in their events. “We’ve been talking about

their limitations all year,” he said. “Iowa is a real chance to see what they got.” In the Red Raider Open last week, eight freshmen placed in their events. Sheffield said the progress of the underclassmen has been key to the team’s success. “We’ve been youth-laden this year,” he said. “The goal is, can they do it under pressure when we have to score points? I think as competitors, we’ve done well.” In t wo consecut ive meets, sophomore thrower Charleston Lewis has broken the school record in the weight throw, which currently sits at 16.78 meters (55 feet). When he broke it the first time, he said he hadn’t thrown the weight in practice at all. Lewis feels this meet could establish where he’ll finish in the Sun Belt Conference. As of now, his school record sits at 11th best in the Sun Belt Conference. “A lot of the competitors

threw 18-plus meters, which is basically winning our conference right now,” he said. “If I can hang with them, I’ll definitely be able to hang in our conference.” The top throw in the Sun Belt was made by Western Kent uck y ju n ior Houston Croney, with a distance of 18.20 meters. Both Sheffield and Lewis believe traveling to Iowa won’t affect the team’s performance. This will be the team’s longest trip of the season, a lmost doubl i ng t he d ista nce of their furthest, to Lubbock. The team will fly out to Ames, Iowa on Thursday night, traveling about 750 miles. “Traveling can affect the best of us,” Lewis said. “But at the same time, the basketball team travels all of the time, and they still do good.” The meet starts Thursday mor n i ng a nd r u n s u nt i l Saturday at t he Lied Recreational Center on the Iowa State campus.

35 YEARS OF CHANGING LIVES Intensive English Language Institute @

Five days after defeating No. 53 Kansas State, the UNT tennis team will take on Dallas/Fort Worth rival No. 44 TCU in Fort Worth. The match was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but an expected temperature drop pushed the match back to Thursday. The Mean Green (3-3) is showing confidence after their win over the Wildcats on Saturday, only the third time in program history it has beaten a nationally ranked opponent. “This past weekend, I think we found our identity. We finally discovered who we are,” head coach Sujay Lama said. After suffering a tough loss at the hands of the No. 32 Arkansas Razorbacks on Friday, the team fought back from a 3-0 deficit to secure the 4-3 victory over KSU.

“We grew up as a team after the last two matches,” senior Irina Paraschiv said. The Mean Green does not doubt that the Horned Frogs

“[TCU’s] a good team, but so are we.”

—Nadia Lee Senior tennis player

(3-1) will be a tough opponent, but the team is confident in its abilities to fight TCU off. “They’re a good team, but so are we,” said senior Nadia Lee, who went a perfect 4-0 in her matches over the weekend. “If we put up a big fight, there’s no reason that we wouldn’t be able to beat them.” Texas Christian began their season by defeating Syracuse, Texas State and Lamar at home, but recently fell to No. 5 Baylor in Waco. If UNT can pull out a win Thursday, No. 44 TCU will be the

highest-ranked team that the Mean Green has ever defeated – a record that the team just broke in defeating Kansas State. “We just need to go out there and be excited to play, give our best and win the match,” Paraschiv said. “Our main goal is to go out there and win, but each one of us just wants to improve their game and win on each court.” The 2012 schedule is one of the toughest that Mean Green tennis has ever had to face. Three of the next four opponents the team will face are ranked in the top 50 in the nation. “There is no slowing down,” Lama said. “It is a brutal schedule. It’s one of the toughest anybody could imagine.” Despite the daunting task ahead of them, UNT is confident in their abilities. “We are only showing the tip of the iceberg so far,” Lama said. “This team has the capability of playing amazing tennis.” Thursday’s match against TCU is set to begin at 2 p.m. at the Bayard H. Freeman Tennis Center in Fort Worth.

Middle Tennessee loss should bring confidence Opinion A LISON E LDRIDGE Senior Staff Writer

There are no words quite as irritatingly redundant as the phrase “tough loss” in the world of sports. A loss is a loss, and very few athletes would ever qualify a loss as “easy.” But when it comes to the women’s basketball team’s loss to Middle Tennessee, the words “tough loss ” are about as close as it can get, considering the circumstances surrounding the team’s 70-68 loss. T he Mea n Green prepared long and hard both mentally and physically for its Feb. 2 game against Middle Tennessee, the conference’s only undefeated team, and it showed from the opening tip. Sophomore g ua rd Laura McCoy and junior forward Jasmine Godbolt c ont i nue d t o le a d b y example as they’ve done the entire season. Godbolt

reached 1,000 career points, and McCoy nailed four threepointers in the game, three of them consecutively in the first half. A nd of c ou r se, t here’s head coach K a ren A ston hammering away to nab her 100t h ca reer w in, a not her i mpor ta nt m i lestone t hat can’t go unmentioned. No one can deny this team has some ser ious ta lent – talent it was ready to unleash on Middle Tennessee. T he te a m entere d t he locker room at the half with a seven-point lead, undoubted ly a sig n i f ic a nt con f idence booster. The second half began w ith the teams trading baskets until Middle Tennessee managed to get a leg up. A final half-court shot from junior forward Sara Stanley came up empty, and Midd le Ten nessee wa l ked off the Super Pit f loor with a hard-fought victory. M idd le Ten nessee won that game by two points. One basket, two free throws, two points. Coming into the game, Middle Tennessee seemed so

Alison Eldridge unbeatable, so invincible, yet it was three points away from suffering its first loss of the season – a loss that would’ve been inf licted by the Mean Green. Yes, this game resulted in a loss – an extremely “tough loss” at that – but the Mean Green must look at the big picture. It took the only undefeated team in the Sun Belt to the final buzzer, a feat last year’s 5-25 version of the team would have never accomplished. It was the type of game that makes you wonder what would happen if the teams played again in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in March.

What changes would you like to see to UNT parking?

“Change the price of parking and availability. You’re walking too far for it to be worthwhile.”

Billy Hendricks

Pre-political science freshman

“I don’t buy a parking pass… Maybe give a GPA incentive, like 3.5 or above gets to park [on campus].”

Chazz Hundal Biology junior

“Make a junior and senior lot, you know? They’ve been paying more money for being here.”

Michael Chandler Pre-biology junior

“Make it cheaper. I was spending so much money last semester on parking… Now I park off campus and ride the bus, even though I commute to Denton.”

Syrian violence demands intervention John F. Kennedy once said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” Those words are ringing clear around the world this week as the Free Syrian Army continues its fight against the oppressive regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. CNN reported that since protestors began asking al-Assad to step down in March 2011, violence in Syria has left 6,000 people dead. This includes protestors, members of the Syrian army and army defectors that have been executed trying to join up with the opposition. This week, videos demonstrating indiscriminant acts of violence toward

Syrian citizens in the city of Homs were released. A citizen with the pseudonym Abu Rami told CNN that regime snipers are positioned on the rooftops shooting anything that moves, blocking medical suppliers from entering to help the injured. He also described rocket attacks against the city, calling Homs – a city of one million and national epicenter for cultural diversity – “more warzone than city.” The people of Syria have called for international intervention to prevent the violence, but no one has stepped in to stop al-Assad. In November, the Arab League sent observers to monitor the situation. On Wednesday, it planned to send them back and request assis-

tance from the members of the United Nations. However, earlier this week when the Arab League took a peace plan to the U.N. Security Council that would have formally requested al-Assad to step down, China and Russia used their veto power to block the resolution. Through this action, China and Russia effectively sided against the Syrian revolution and on the side of militaristic oppression. On Tuesday, Susan Rice, the United States ambassador to the U.N., spoke directly to al-Assad by way of broadcast stating, “Your days are numbered. It is time and past time for you to transfer power responsibly and peacefully.”

The Editorial Board backs the decision of the U.S. to support the people of Syria. Without some degree of government intervention from the international community, this widespread violence against innocent men, women and children will continue. The time for peaceful exchange of power has passed, and as a member of the U.N. Security Council, the U.S. should facilitate Syrian revolution through the use of aid and military supplies. The government of Syria has made peaceful revolution impossible by oppressing the people it rules. Opposing powers are calling to the international community for help, and it is imperative we answer.

Don’t overlook Denton’s music As adults, we develop a tendency to discriminate between genres of music with the utmost passion. It may be caused by culture, pride, influence, praise or identity, but whatever the case, we all perceive music differently. Luckily for us, we attend one of the finest music institutions in the nation. Roy Orbison, Meatloaf, Norah Jones and the Eli Young Band are just a few alumni who have broken through the abstraction of popular culture. KNTU-FM unceasingly plays some of the most unheard of and experimental styles around. Whether it’s jazz, pop, hip-hop, soul, metal or any other genre you can think of, KNTU provides the classics and those soon to be. Not to mention the all-attracting Dallas/Fort Worth, Denton alone has a thriving music scene, plucking from the depths some of the most underrated musicians to come play. When I moved here and saw that Jonathan Richman was going to play at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios, I walked around to every venue with a goofy smile on my face, looking to see who else I was missing. That was how I found out about 35 Conferette, (previously NX35 and now renamed 35 Denton.) I checked out the lineup online and immediately bought a ticket. For those of you who didn’t attend or those who didn’t mob it there all weekend like I did, it was overwhelming and sensational. The festival promoted about a hundred local bands, such as Spooky Folk, Boxcar Bandits, Manned

Missiles and Record Hop. They also brought in dozens of groups that have been touring the international stage for years now, such as gospel legend Mavis Staples, Canadian quartet Portugal the Man, comedic genius Reggie Watts, Puerto Rican punks Davila 666, New York noise rockers Japanther, innovative indie bands Dr. Dog and Local Natives and the great hip-hop producer Big Boi. This is just a sample of last year’s lineup, but listing all of the bands would not do the event justice. So I implore you to support local music and local businesses, and to treat yourself to the transcendental feeling of appreciating music that you hated in high school. You might not get to see Katy Perry, Skrillex, The Black Keys, Lil Wayne or LMFAO, but I guarantee that you will find something new that you will love. Unless you just hate music, which seems damn near impossible.

Black males need financial support As a senior on the verge of graduation, I reflected on my collegiate career and the incredible students that would be getting their diplomas along with me. I tried to think of the fellow black males that I had met at UNT who might be standing next to me, waiting for their name to be called May 12. I was saddened by the realization that I could think of only 3 black males that had graduated before me, and only one that would be graduating with me this spring. According to the NT Daily, only about 1,000 black men have graduated with a degree from UNT since 2005. This means that only 167 black men have graduated from UNT a year in the last seven years. Meanwhile, 334 black women have been graduating from UNT each year during the same time span. These facts reflected a grim reality that I have seen more and more on a daily basis. Black women are speeding to their college diplomas educated, while black men are left to crawl towards their graduation date. I remembered the main reasons why it was taking my black male friends longer time to graduate. During harsh economic times and with the rising cost of student tuition, cutting credit hours is one of the fastest ways that college students can save money. Many of my black male friends have no choice but to take a small number of credit hours every semester while working a full-time or at least part-time job. Some of them have even resorted to taking “breaks” from school altogether in order to work and save money to pay for more credit hours in upcoming semesters. This causes us to not only take longer than other groups to grad-

uate, but also puts us at risk of not graduating at all. I propose that we start a student organization that aims to keep our brothers in college and helps them graduate in a reasonable amount of time. With this group, we can relieve some of that financial stress on black UNT students by raising funds for scholarships so that we can take more credit hours and fewer work hours. With this group, we can teach our brothers how to best manage and prioritize their money towards their education. We can teach our fellow brothers that graduating as quickly as possible will not only get us better jobs, but will also help us avoid the rising cost of tuition and cost of student living. Let us come together to find solutions on how to close the educational gaps between black women and us. Please email me at ronjohnson42089@yahoo. com so we can make it official as soon as possible.
