Students walk barefoot to raise awareness of the importance of shoes Tuesday. This campus walk was part of many nationwide events as part of the TOMS One Day Without Shoes cause.

BY NICOLE BALDERASStaff Writer

Students braved stubbed t o e s a nd hot p a v ement Tuesday as they went about their campus activities bare-foot in support of the fourth a n nua l One Day W it hout Shoes event.

The event was started by Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS shoes, a company which donates one pair of shoes to a needy child for every pair purchased. Those partic-ipating went an entire day without shoes to raise aware-ness of the importance of a pair of shoes in a child’s life.

Ac t iv it ie s for t he day i ncluded a wa l k w it hout shoes during which a group of devoted students gathered outside Kerr Hall to take part in the first officially organized walk at UNT. Students waved f lags bearing the TOMS logo and some even painted their feet and toes in support.

“I went without shoes last

Students bare their feet to spread awareness

year by myself,” said Misti Day, a general studies senior. “But this year, I’m partici-pating with the organized group.”

This is greatly because of Lauren Thomas, the president of the TOMS Campus club

and mathematics senior, who helped organize the walk.

“I’ve always been a really big fan,” said Thomas. “I was involved in high school, and when I came to UNT, I wanted help out.”

After walking barefoot around campus Tuesday to raise awareness of the importance just one pair of shoes can have in a child’s life, a group of about 15 students rest at the University Union.

a shoe drive for the Helping Hands Shoe bank until April 15.

“Blue and white boxes will be placed around campus, and students can donate new or gently used shoes,” Thomas said. “Boxes will be at all the dorms and the Pohl Recreation Center.”

Though the event’s partici-pants are encouraged to go a day without shoes, campus cafeterias adhere to the rule “no shoes, no service.”

“Last year at Maple, we didn’t have a sign up, and we had a woman who refused to put on her shoes,” said Teresa Ol iva rez, a food ser v ices ma nager. “We had a ‘no shoes’ sign up very quickly after that.”

Cafeteria employees say that it’s a rule for sanitary reasons.

“Sometimes glass breaks on the f loor and people can step on it,” said Charlotte Spencer, a food services supervisor.

Also on the day’s agenda was a “Style Your Soul” party, during which attendees got

toget her, decorated shoes and learned what TOMS is about.

The group also plans on hav ing a screening of the TOMS shoes documentary in Legends Hall sometime this semester, which will be the film’s third screening of the semester.

The College of Visual Arts and Design is sponsoring a competit ion that a l lows fa sh ion de sig n st udent s to use their creative abili-ties to participate in a shoe-designing contest.

“We purchased 25 pairs of shoes and gave one shoe each to 50 students,” said Marian O’Rou rke-K apla n of t he design faculty. “Students were instructed to do the research on TOMS and which compa-nies they help, and utilize some aspect of that to rede-sign or embellish the shoes.”

The shoes will be on display next week on April 13, the day Mycoskie will come to UNT for a lecture as part of Earth Week and Financial Literacy Week.

North Texas Health Forum tickets exceed expectationsBY STACY POWERSSenior Staff er

The fourth annual North Texas Health Forum is expecting a capacity crowd Thursday and Friday to discuss topics of chil-dren’s mental health as the event kicks off National Public Health Week.

The School of Public Health at the UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth is hosting this year’s forum, “Embracing our Community of African Children.”

Richard Kurz, the School of Public Health’s dean, said about 200 attended the forum last year. This year, the event sold all 250 tickets for Thursday and 170 tickets for Friday.

“As the forum gets to be better known in the commu-nity, people are more aware of it, and so they understand better what we are trying to do,” Kurz said. “More folks are coming out to be a part of that.”

Kurz said those expected to attend include health science students, social workers, profes-sionals in the criminal justice system, educators, religious leaders and African-American community members.

Sudan Jackson, a public health doctoral student, said she plans to attend the forum.

“It is a great opportunity as a student to get out and meet community members and see the ground level work that goes on to address health issues, and I am just happy that our school provides those kind of oppor-tunities to their students,” she

said. The forum is an extension

of last year’s topic on infant mortality with a high focus on the emotional well-being of African-American children, Kurz said.

“Indeed stress and stress-related events that occur in a person’s life can have a distinct effect in the long term on their physical health as well as birth

outcomes,” he said “That was one of the reasons that we chose to focus on this with regard to African-American children.”

Sally Crocker, a planning committee member, said the first day of the forum would include a student session called “A Conversation with the Speaker” at 2:30 pm. This would give any college student the opportunity to address the keynote speaker with any ques-tions or concerns.

The keynote address will be given at 6 p.m. by Alwyn Cohall, a pediatrician prac-ticing in Harlem, N.Y., and a faculty member in the school of public health at Columbia University, Kurz said.

“He has a number of projects going on in the community to deal with the health, mental health and emotional problems of children,” he said. “He has been actively engaged in this for a number of years, and has a national reputation through his activities and his publica-tions in this area.”

The forum will conclude on the second day with a sympo-sium, including panelists and break out sessions, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Move over motorists — a new ruling passed Tuesday night by the Denton City Council will require drivers to give cyclists and pedestrians a little leeway on city streets.

The council unanimously approved a Vulnerable Road Users ordinance Tuesday that mandates a safe passing distance of 3 feet between cyclists and cars and 6 feet for large commercial vehicles. The new law also establishes a maximum $200 fine for drivers caught cutting it too close to pedestrians, workers and cyclists occupying the road.

“This ordinance’s general intent is to increase awareness of bikes and pedestrians, and for the city to encourage alter-native transportation,” said Denton Mayor Mark Burroughs during the meeting.

The ruling also requires drivers to grant cyclists the right-of-way when making a left turn or u-turn into oncoming traffic. It also protects pedes-trians and cyclists from harass-ment by drivers or passengers in motor vehicles by leveling a $200 fine. The ordinance will take effect exactly two weeks from today, a short time for

cycling advocates who have been pressuring the city for accommodations for more than a year.

“When you’re going down the road on your bike and there is a vehicle coming at you at 50 mph, and you feel their mirror come next to you, it’s scary,” said Joe Gregory, a cyclist and Denton resident. “It is common sense that there needs to be some kind of minimal distance.”

Sixteen states have similar safe passing distance laws and cities such as New Braunfels, Austin, El Paso and San Antonio have adopted them in Texas.

Local cyclists said motor-ists texting while driving and increased traffic are making them more v ulnerable. Motorists kill an estimated 50 cyclists and 400 pedestrians every year in Texas.

Passage of the ordinance is keeping in line with the city’s ongoing plans to refurbish the downtown area into a desti-nation for walkers and bikers.

“It is one of many steps to encourage more active transportation,” said council member Dalton Gregory, one of the main advocates of the ruling.

“It is a great opportunity ... to get out and

UNT was named the No. 1 school for veterans in Texas by M i l it a r y Ti mes EDGE magazine.

The university boasts an e s t i m at e d 1, 20 0 s t udent veterans, who each face chal-lenges transitioning to college life.

One of t he cha l lenge s veter a n s f ac e i s de a l i ng w it h post-traumatic stress disorder, said veteran Kris K hastehdel, who is a peer mentor for the UNT Veterans Center, t he v ice president of t he St udent Veter a n s Association and a construc-tion engineering technology senior.

“PTSD a f fects ever yone differently,” he said. “One guy called me about how he was having issues with the siren that goes off once a month.”

To help st udent s c ope with PTSD and other issues, UNT Counseling and Testing Ser v ices of fers short-term, individual sessions to mili-t a r y-a f f i l i a t e d s t u d e nt s , according to the website.

Another common problem veterans face concerns paper-work, said economics senior

Ashlee Andersen, an economics senior, and Kris Khastehdel, a construction engineering technology senior, are both Army veterans who work for the Student Veterans Center on the third � oor of the University Union.

Ashlee Andersen, a veteran a nd peer mentor a nd t he president of t he St udent Veterans Association.

“The [U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs] is slow when it comes to processing paper-work,” she said. “I talked to a guy today who has been trying to work with the VA to get his disability paperwork, a nd t hose papers haven’t come in.”

The VA takes about eight weeks to process and approve

p a p e r w o r k , i n c l u d i n g approval for GI pay ments, Khastedhel said.

GI benefits are provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs to help fund a veter-an’s education.

“One thing we try and tell veterans who ca l l us is to save up their money,” he said. “Since it ta kes so long for them to get their payments, t hey a re hav i ng to f ront money for books and front money for an apartment.”

For veterans seeking finan-c ia l g u id a nc e, t he U N T Money Management Center of fers help from f inancia l counselors and mentors, said Velma Gray, an administra-tive assistant for the center.

“We try to make sure we prov ide a veteran-fr iendly environment,” she said. “We want them to find a face they can connect with, so often times we have our seasoned

workers talk with them.”Veteran Mat hias Vogt is

the president of Omega Delta Sigma, UNT’s veterans frater-nity, and a political science sophomore.

He said one of the major cha l lenges he ha s faced is adjust i ng to a col lege schedule.

“It is ha rd gett ing used to not hav ing a set da i ly routine,” he said. “I am now pr i ma r i ly responsible for motivating myself.”

Vogt helped start UNT’s branch of Omega Delta Sigma last fa l l. The organization c u r rent ly ha s a rou nd 40 members, he said.

“The other fraternities on campus have a lot of young guys,” he said. “We didn’t have much in common with them. This fraternity gives veterans a place to fit in.”

UNT is also home to the S A LU T E Veter a n s Honor Societ y a nd t he St udent Veterans Association, which assists veterans with tran-sit ioning to a col lege l i fe, according to the website.

These resources are impor-tant to UNT veterans, said Reemi Parker, a studio art ju n ior whose pa rents a re both veterans.

“The extra help can keep them in school,” she said. “It helps give them the motiva-tion they need.”

“We try to make sure we provide a veteran-friendly environment.

We want them to find a face they can connect with ...”

While many children are forced to eat fruits and vegeta-bles by their parents, for some college students, those foods are their first choice.

With obesity on the rise in America and on college campuses, some students are turning to a vegetarian diet to help fulfill their weight-loss goals.

“Vegetarian diets can be bene-ficial for weight loss and mainte-nance,” said Ann Afflerbach of the merchandising and hospi-tality management faculty. “So it could benefit college students struggling with their weight, or those who are trying to maintain a healthy weight.”

Some of the other health bene-fits of following a vegetarian diet

include a lower risk for heart disease and cancer, she said.

“I decided to become a vege-tarian because I never was a huge fan of the taste of meat,” said Brison Coldiron, a French language sophomore. “Plus I wanted to start living a healthier lifestyle.”

Eighty percent of UNT dining halls’ meal options are vege-tarian friendly, said Shohreh Sparks, the associate director of resident dining.

“The vegetarian options in our dining halls are popular among all of the students,” she said. “We just try to offer students healthy and wholesome options.”

Coldiron, who became a vege-tarian in 2007, said when he eats in the dining halls, he usually opts for a salad, vegetable soup or the occasional veggie burger.

“I can usually find some-thing to eat anywhere,” he said. “Burger and steak joints are usually a tad tricky though — those usually result in salads.”

Rosa Ma lave of t he merchandising and hospitality management faculty, who is also the Club at the Gateway’s dining room manager, said she recommends a vegetarian diet to everyone.

“It is very good for your body,” she said. “It helps you live longer and it makes for a healthier life.”

In order to avoid nutrient deficiencies sometimes asso-ciated with a vegetarian diet, vegetarians must eat a variety of fruits and vege-tables, as well as legumes and nuts, Aff lerbach said.Protein that many people get from meat must be found else-where in tofu and soy prod-ucts, Malave said.

“These options actually have more protein than just a piece of meat,” she said. “They are also better for you.”

People who are considering a vegetarian lifestyle should avoid common mistakes, such as eating too many sweets, products made with white flour and meal-replacement bars, Afflerbach said.

“I’d say, take it slow, ease yourself into it,” Coldiron said. “Also, having a good backup team of friends and family who support it helps. If your friends and family don’t support the decision, it could be a tad more difficult.”

Two UNT students know better than anyone that some-times when you play with fire, you get burned.

Eric Arnold and Chase Dugger practice the art of fire poi, where tennis balls are attached to the end of chains or a flexible string, lit on fire and swung in circular patterns.

“It’s kind of like meditation,” said Dugger, an undeclared sophomore. “It’s relaxing. You just get lost in the movements and paint the sky.”

Dugger first saw poi done with glow sticks when he was a senior in high school and began practicing the next day. When he found out it could be done with fire, that became his goal, he said.

Dugger later taught Arnold, a political science freshman, how to spin fire. He started him off with glow sticks and tennis balls. The two of them practice on a regular basis at the Ridge of North Texas or Iconic Village apartments, Arnold said.

“I was addicted to it. I couldn’t put them down — like a kid with a new toy, except for I never put them down for a year and a half,” Arnold said.

Before the balls are lit, Arnold and Dugger dip them in kero-sene. They always carry a fire extinguisher for precautionary measures, Arnold said.

Brent Garner, a radio, televi-sion and film junior, asked the men to perform at a New Year’s party for about 100 guests.

“It was a huge hit. Everyone was pretty amazed by it and people got pretty involved,” Garner said.

Garner said a couple people tried the art form, and while

When the UNT paintball club arrived at the National Collegiate Paintball Association National Championships two years ago, it was the only group without matching jerseys.

One shirt read “Doughboy Fresh,” and another read “I was raised on the streets” with a picture of the characters of Sesame Street on the shirt.

“We were kind of like the outcasts of the tournament,” said Zach Mora, the president of the organization and a soci-ology senior. “People looked at us and thought we were a joke.”

Nobody was laughing when UNT took down the compe-tition, earning the squad the 2009 Class AA Title.

Now, the squad heads to Lakeland, Fla., on April 15, to compete in the 2011 NCPA National Championships.

When the squad makes the trip to the Sunshine State, it will finally have matching gear. The club is allowed to use the UNT logo but designs to use the logo were not approved for this year’s tournament.

“Looking back on all the adversity we had to overcome to be where we are today, and having recognition at least in the paintball community, and starting to get some recogni-tion on campus is an amazing thing,” Mora said.

Must be the moneyThe UNT paintball club was

founded in 2001 by alumnus

Jason Niehaus. Back then, it was not recognized by the university as an official club sport. The squad, which was known as NTX Paintball when it won the title, received recog-nition as a club following its championship in 2009. Because of the squad’s club status, it receives $500 from the university. The money goes to the club’s trip to nationals, said senior captain Colt Wallace.

Wallace said money goes toward paint, transportation and a hotel room, but doesn’t cover all expenses.

He said in order for UNT to practice, something it does one to two times a week, it costs about $75 per person. This year, when UNT goes to the NCPA National Championships, it will take one group and 50 cases of paint, which costs around $2,000.

UNT currently plays at the Class AA level. Mora said a shortage of money holds the club from advancing to the Class A level.

Behind the barricadesWallace has competed since

age 10 and played in tourna-ments since he was 16. He’s changed the way UNT paintball has approached the activity.

“When Colt came along, he kind of changed it from having fun to having fun with results,” said economics senior Jon Tarum. “At first, there was some feet dragging, but every-body has come around.”

Because of the expenses, the club does not practice as

much as it likes. Still, the squad does about everything together, Mora and Wallace said.

“We practically a l l l ive together, even though every-body’s in separate apart-ments and houses,” Wallace said. “Everybody’s hanging out together every day. There’s almost never a time you can’t call one of them, and expect three or four of the other guys to be there.”

Mora said that strong bond between the teammates trans-lates to the field.

“It’s like a family,” Mora said. “I know that when we’re on the paintball field, in turn, I can trust anybody to do what they need to do so I don’t get shot. It builds that trust factor with everybody, no matter what happens, they’re going to be there.”

The group recently received a sponsorship from Paintball Hero, a paintball facility still being built that will be located on Highway 380 and Loop 288. Wallace said the opening of the facility will help tremen-dously, as the team travels 30-45 minutes for each practice.

UNT also works with the Melanie Goodwin Foundation in the Fun for the Fund Paintball Tournament to raise money for the nonprofit organization.

Wallace said the club isn’t a bunch of guys that go out in the woods and play for fun.

“We try to make it so it’s not seen as people going out and shooting stuff up,” Wallace said. “We try to promote it in a decent light.”

For Ben Glasthal, this month will be a little more than a fren-zied mess of dialogue, set direc-tions and all-nighters.

Glasthal, a radio, television and film junior, is one of 17, 876 people taking part in ScriptFrenzy, an international writing event held during the month of April.

“You feel like everything is working against your goal of 100 pages a month,” Glasthal said. “It becomes difficult to complete it unless you’ve got a good start on it.”

His favorite part of the event is the sense of community found online, he said. Finding time to focus on his script, however, can be a challenge.

The FrenzyParticipants take on the chal-

lenge of writing 100 pages of scripted material in one month, according to scriptfrenzy.org.

Like its November counterpart National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, the event is free for all to join.

This is Glasthal’s third year participating in ScriptFrenzy, he said.

Glasthal said he first learned about the event while searching

online for screenplay writing opportunities.

ScriptFrenzy allows him to work on something film-related despite the fact that he’s in school, he said.

Being a part of ScriptFrenzy has improved his writing skills and character development, he said.

“Find the time to write, and sit

down and write an idea that you love,” Glasthal said. “Once you have that, you can worry about formatting later. Worry about the story.”

The art of scriptwritingMatthew Solomon, a theatre

arts senior, is not participating in ScriptFrenzy but writes scripts on his own time.

Like Glasthal, Solomon said devoting time to writing is diffi-cult when you’re a student.

Being creative and starting the story is another challenge script-writers may face, he said.

“One of the hardest things is coming up with something you think is original and the constant fear of if it’s good,” Solomon said.

Andrew Harris of the dance and theatre faculty described script-writing as a labor of love.

He said he has written about 15 plays and is currently working on two others.

The work that goes into creating a script is worth it, and Harris encourages others to try it out, he said.

“Go for it. It’s worth a gamble,” Harris said. “Most important, you need to write about something you care about.”

Challenging yourselfGlasthal said UNT students

should check out ScriptFrenzy because it’s a good way to focus on something besides school.

“ScriptFrenzy has been a really great outlet for me to release stress from school, because it allows me to think,” Glasthal said. “If you like writing, it’s something you should definitely challenge yourself with.”

For more information, visit www.scriptfrenzy.org.

some did well, a few caught on fire but were not injured.

“It catches on fire for a second, and then four or five people jump on them and just hit them until the fire goes out,” he said. “It goes out pretty fast. No one was injured.”

Assistant Fire Marshall Chad Weldon said they might be in viola-tion of the law, because perfor-mances involving open flames usually require a permit.

“It may be that what they’re doing is legal, but I can’t say without seeing what they’re doing,” Weldon said.

He said it is important to have a

fire extinguisher nearby and keep combustible materials away.

“To keep safe, my recommen-dation would be to check with the local authorities and to make sure you’re doing it in a safe area that is permitted,” Weldon said.

Arnold said they didn’t know how legal fire poi was, but would look into it.

Brittani Darlington, a pre-arts and sciences sophomore, said she has seen the art form and thinks it is beautiful.

“It’s definitely exhilarating. It’s something I would love to be able to do,” she said.

After a year long hiatus the UNT Bass Club is bringing competitive sport fishing back to Denton. The team was brought back this semester by club President Ben Cartwright after its short break from action. “We had people left in charge of the legacy of the organiza-tion,” Cartwright said. “Nobody was taking charge, so I figured it would benefit the school if someone took charge of the club.”

Getting to know fishing gurusThe UNT Bass Club has

The tea m consists of 12 members, but hopes to grow to 20 or more by semes-ter’s end, Cartwright said. The team has two returning from its outing last spring. The club holds monthly meet-ings, but it’s really all about the love of the sport, Caldwell said. “We meet for a couple of hours a month,” said Caldwell. “But the fishing is a plus for me because I enjoy it.” The team already received recognition for its efforts, earning sponsorships from Tackle

The UNT softball team will take a brief break from Sun Belt Conference play and visit the University of Texas-Arlington Mavericks at 6 p.m. in the Rally for Abby charity game.

In each of the last three seasons, the teams have held games benefiting the American Cancer Society, but this season, all money raised will go toward the medical expenses of Texas Women’s University softball player Abby Burns. Burns was diag-nosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in January, and is undergoing chemo-therapy and awaiting a bone marrow transplant.

“I think we always like to play in charity games,” said senior infielder Mallory Cantler. “They’re just a little extra something for us during the week to get us prepared for the weekend.”

UNT will wear orange shirts with Burns’ No. 19 on the sleeve during the game.

The teams will play another charity game benefitting Burns May 6 when UNT hosts the Mavericks.

UTA (26-12) comes into today’s game on a seven-game winning streak and winners of 12 of its last 15 games. UNT (16-20) has lost five of its last eight games, but used a six-run sixth inning to defeat Western Kentucky Sunday. In that game, redshirt freshman

The club will try to get the attention of Collegiate B a s s C h a m pion s h ip s t o g a r ne r s u pp or t f or t he new t y pe of tou r na ment.

against other schools, the club holds tournaments solely for members of t he team. T h e s e t o u r n a m e n t s prov ide a way to decide who goes to larger tourna-ments like the FLW Regional Qualifier and the Collegiate B a s s C h a m p i o n s h i p s . “When I’m winning them all, it can’t be a good sign,” Watson said. “I’m not that good at it.” Scoring is done by weighing in the team’s best fish, up to five maximum, with the winner being decided by pound total.In the case of a tie, the winner is the team with the most fish.

Cartwright has shown he can compete in a competi-tion outside of the Dallas area. “I caught a 15-pound carp after a 20-minute batt le at Lake Tyler,” said Cartwright. “It’s an unofficial record.”

Freshman out� elder Jackie Miller catches the ball during Tuesday’s practice. The Mean Green travels to play against the University of Texas-Arlington Mav-ericks at 6 p.m.

Ashley Kirk got her seventh win of the season by pitching 3.1 relief innings and giving up two earned runs.

“Getting the win felt fantastic, and I’m very excited for this ga me aga inst UTA,” K irk said.

Kirk or sophomore Brittany Simmons will likely get the start for the Mean Green.

Both pitchers w i l l need the help of the UNT offense, which scored more than three runs for the second time in eight games against Western

Kentucky Sunday.“We really showed what our

offense is capable of when-ever we’re on,” Cantler said. “I think that’s the kind of innings Coach Hubbard would like us to come through with when-ever we need them.”

The Mean Green offense will have its hands full against UTA freshman pitcher Callie Collins, who has a 15-3 record with a 1.16 ERA.

“I think we can build on what we did [on Sunday],” said head coach T.J. Hubbard. “We seem pretty focused, so I think we can have some repeat performances this week.”

A current issue of our society is the obsession with appear-ances. Our culture is constantly bombarded with ads for hair dye, magazines with tips on how to reveal “natural beauty” and weight loss ads that promise results in two weeks.

In a society so obsessed with looks, it’s almost impossible to go through life never having the desire to conform to the idea of what beautiful looks like.

Photoshopped models are seen everywhere from styling clothes to leaning seductively on the hoods of expensive cars. The primary intent of advertisers is to create the idea in people’s heads that if they have this product, they will be this beautiful or attract people this beautiful.

The problem with culture’s idea of beauty is that it’s unat-tainable, unrealistic and some-times even dangerous.

Models seen in advertisements are commonly thin, sometimes at a weight that is extremely unhealthy. The targeted audi-ence of most of this advertising is women, who tend to receive pres-sure to be beautiful. Because of

this, many girls will do anything to conform to culture’s stan-dards.

Most young girls learn these lessons of beauty from Barbie.

“Jill Barad, president of Mattel (which manufactures Barbie) estimated that 99 percent of girls aged 3 to 10 years old own at least one Barbie doll,” according to media-awareness.ca.

Little do young girls know, Barbie’s miniscule figure is entirely unattainable in real life. Her back would not be able to support her upper body, and her body would not have enough room to contain her vital organs.

Little girls see Barbie as the definition of happy. She’s beau-tiful, thin and always has a perfect plastic smile across her face. Women of all ages are led to believe that having a perfect body

is the key to happiness. People think all of their prob-

lems will be solved if they were beautiful. Fad diets, eating disorders and cosmetic plastic surgery have become increas-ingly popular as this belief has developed.

One in every four college-aged women use unhealthy weight control methods, according to

Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders, Inc.

Although the media are common predators for insecure women, they are not completely responsible for these dangerous trends. Even as children, we are able to detect differences among our peers.

Those who are different or “weird” are treated harshly with hateful glances or name calling, and sometimes they are even ostracized. In this day and age, it’s

nearly impossible to be different without receiving some sort of unfavorable response.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs says people need to feel accepted and loved. It is fear that motivates them to act on the impulse to change themselves.

People are so afraid to be different.

The sad thing is the people so heavily discriminated against are usually no different on the inside than the people bullying them. Ultimately we are not all that different — we all desire to be beautiful and accepted.

Leo Tolstoy once said, “It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is good-ness.” This describes our society because those seen as beautiful are often so broken and corrupted on the inside.

If the world put as much into improving what’s inside as they did on outside appearance, the world would be a much better and happier place.

Nods and ShakesEditorial

Nod: Philanthropies make a difference this weekPhilanthropy efforts are thriving on campus this semester, but espe-

cially this week. The students participating in Shack-a-Thon and those who took part in

A Day Without Shoes made a difference, if only a small one. Shack-a-Thon is a fun event that many groups around campus, including

housing associations and greek organizations, participate in annually. Members of the organizations build cardboard structures, have one member inside it at all times and ask for donations from passers-by. The money they collect is given to the local Habitat for Humanity.

A Day Without Shoes is more of a symbolic event of which people spend a day barefoot to try to increase awareness in situations where chil-dren have to go without shoes involuntarily.

Both are simple ways to assist people who are less fortunate.

Shake: Former SGA president oversteps boundariesA Facebook message went out to about 4,000 people Monday from

a group called “The University of North Texas” detailing the steps for voting in the Student Government Association elections and endorsing one pair of candidates.

The message came from alumnus Jeff Kline, a former SGA president and the creator of that unofficial group.

The Board believes Kline’s actions were not appropriate.Personal endorsements by previous SGA members are acceptable and

expected. Using a Facebook group that appears to be an official branch of UNT at first glance and that is run by current and past members of the student government goes too far.

Kline’s message made it look like the university endorses a candidate. It was a bad decision on his part.

Nod: UNT appeals to multitude of prospective studentsAbout 4,000 potential students and parents came to UNT last weekend

to explore the campus and learn more about the opportunities here. The number of people who preregistered exceeded the past amounts.

This shows UNT’s reputation is improving. The Editorial Board is pleased that more people are considering UNT.

We hope the students and their parents had a good experience and that the reputation of UNT will only continue to go up.

Shake: Airplane issues cause concernA Southwest Airlines plane had a five-foot-long hole develop in the

air Friday. Since then, five of the 79 airplanes that were checked for damage had

cracks. More than 300 flights were canceled because of the problems.Considering how dangerous flying can be and the high cost of air

travel, Southwest and all other airline companies should keep their planes in the best condition possible through things like up-to-date, thorough inspections.

The Board is glad no one was injured, but there shouldn’t have been a possibility.

Shake: Confusing journalism with theatreAs the sole candidate on the ballot for the Mayborn School of Journalism,

Meg Ziegelbein mentioned nothing about journalism throughout her plat-form. Instead, she focused on fixing what she deemed to be a “subpar” theatre department. We don’t even know what else to say about that.

Expensive headphones leave student unimpressedWhen I walk around campus

and see someone f launting their massive, tacky, $300 piece of cheap plastic, it amuses me greatly.

Not just because they’re hideous and the company plas-ters their logo on every inch of the headphones, but also because the few people I’ve met who wear their Beats by Dr. Dre headphones around their neck think this grants them exclusive privileges to snob everyone with how great their headphones are in compar-ison to how terrible everyone else’s are.

That, usually, isn’t true. They are a fashion statement, and that’s it.

There’s nothing better than reading a review like I did on one kid’s blog about how “if you are cool enough, these headphones will certainly boost your cool further.”

All I can say is that if you are paying $300 to get the people walking around campus to find

you “cool,” or you think that these headphones will get the opposite sex fawning over you, then you have some serious issues.

The same could be said for Skullcandy headphones — they’re cheaper, but they’re hideous and don’t grant you entry into this mythical cool headphone club. The $80 you spent on them could have easily been spent on headphones that aren’t ripped to shreds by nearly every critic for their awful sound and reli-ability.

Cheaper, better alternativesMy favorite thing to do when

someone is talking about how great their Beats headphones is let them listen to mine. Because they insist on rubbing their head-phones in my face, sometimes I feel it necessary to rub my much cheaper headphones in theirs. The few times I’ve tried this, the responses amuse me greatly.

“Whoa, these are amazing.”“These sound great! How

much were they?”“Man, I need some of these.” Well, let’s see, out of my collec-

tion, my Grado headphones were $80. My Sennheisers were $50. With the exception of my Bose headphones, the few times I’ve stepped into the expensive, mainstream headphones, I’ve been let down by reliability or the sound.

An audiophile’s opinionI’m a self-confessed audio-

phile, so my audio standards are pretty high. But trying to impress with your $300 head-phones certainly isn’t going to impress me, or from my experi-ence, most people.

If you genuinely like the sound of the Dr. Dre or the Skullcandy and didn’t drop your rent payment on a fashion statement, then I’ll apolo-gize.

However, i f you bought them to impress, you definitely are not impressive, and they

don’t make you cool hanging around your neck.

Instead, when you walk by, I’ll shake my head at your failure to properly maintain a bank account.

NEW YORK — Rock music blares in a Manhattan class-room as an 11-year-old builds a website for video game enthusiasts, and a classmate fuses LED lights and capaci-tors to a circuit board.

In another room, students are immersed in a life-sized video game as they kneel beside a virtual river, sifting through the remains of ancient civilizations.

What kid wouldn’t love a school developed by video game designers? Quest to Learn was designed to be different from the ground up.

This complete reinvention of the typical urban middle school downplays rote memo-rization in favor of collabora-tive learning, critical thinking and imaginative explora-tion as a way to change how

today’s students learn. And this fall, it’s going to

Chicago. Students will learn from

video game designers and computer experts how to design and build their own video games, produce custom websites, podcast, blog, record and edit short films, and connect with technology in a way that is both mean-ingful and productive.

In an era of rigid standard-ized testing, city leaders say Quest is a novel approach to get today’s wired 11-, 12- and 13-year-olds prepared for the technology-driven, global job market that awaits them.

“The only way we’re going to catch up with the rest of the world is to re-invent how teaching and learning occurs,” said Chicago Public Schools interim chief Terry Mazany. “That’s why this is so vital.”

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
