The suspected case of tuber-culosis afflicting a Denton High School student has been cleared after testing; however, UNT is still investigating an off-campus student who is suspected to have TB, officials at Denton ISD and UNT said.

A 16-year-old Denton High School student’s possible case of TB spurred the Denton County Health Department to give skin tests and X-rays to 270 students and staff in early October.

Skin test results indicated that fewer than a dozen people were exposed to the illness, and X-rays confirmed that no one showed signs of active TB.

“This means there are no new suspect TB cases and no indica-tion of a school-based outbreak of TB,” Denton ISD wrote in a press release.

It remains to be seen whether the illness afflicting the UNT student is active TB. The student is still undergoing treatment, and the case is being investi-gated by the Denton County Health Department, said Buddy Price, vice president of univer-sity relations.

Students, alumni and former school officials at universities around the state have banded together in an effort to ensure reforms to higher education in Texas are fair and beneficial.

The Texas Coalition for Excellence in Higher Education, which includes former regents, university chancellors and presidents, formed in June to oppose proposed reforms to higher education that would separate teaching and research bodies, take Texas universi-ties off the national accredi-tation system and drastically increase class sizes. Shortly after, a group of student leaders and recent graduates formed the Young Texans for Excellence

in Higher Education to lobby legislators and engage students on higher education issues.

Jenifer Sarver, spokes-person for the Texas Coalition for Excellence in Higher Education, said that while the two new groups are composed of students, alumni and former officials from the University of Texas and Texas A&M systems, their intention is to ensure the quality of higher education for all Texas universities.

“This is of tremendous benefit to UNT and its effort to become a Tier One school,” Sarver said. “At a time when we begin gaining more Tier One universities, we have to protect what’s already in place.”

The Sun Belt regular season title will be on the line when the UNT soccer tean hosts

In an effort to keep Denton’s streets clean and keep up with the latest green technology, the city will install solar-pow-ered trash compactors in the downtown Square and on Fry Street.

Fourteen BigBelly Solar intelligent waste and recy-cling collection systems were purchased using part of a $10 million grant the city received from Keep America Beautiful.

“The city of Denton is trying to be a leader in terms of environ-mental initiatives,” said Aimee Bissett, program manager of Keep Denton Beautiful.

BigBelly Solar makes the systems that maximize capacity w it hin t he trashcans by compacting the contents. This reduces the amount of collec-tion trips by 70 to 80 percent and

saves on fuel used to transport the trash.

The solar-powered compac-tors include a wireless system to alert employees when they need to be emptied. The system consists of two containers, one for trash and one for recycling, with an enclosed design to reduce odors and cut down on pest issues.

“The street gets really dirty sometimes, and the trash-cans out there get filled up pretty fast,” said Josh Brawner, Crooked Cr ust ma nager. “There’s nothing to smash it down and it attracts bees and flies, and that’s not really good for the restaurant.”

The Hickory Street side of Crooked Crust is one of the potential locations for a BigBelly trash compactor.

Boxes piled floor to ceiling make Gargi Bhakta’s apartment seem even smaller.

Almost 2,000 lanyards, 1,000 Frisbees of various neon colors and T-shirts spill out of the tops of the boxes.

“There’s no space,” she said.However, on closer inspection a

similarity is noticed about the prod-ucts: Each bears the logo of the racing company NASCAR.

Free products like these are just one of the tools used by what are known as “brand ambassadors.” Brand ambassa-dors, who are part of a recent attempt to help market products to students by students, are hired by corporations such as NASCAR, Famous Footwear, BlackBerry and Target, to name a few.

While some ambassadors are paid wages, most receive products or commission as a major portion of their pay from the companies they market.

Sara Materne, a behavior analysis senior, advertises a coupon campaign called Campus Kicks as the ambas-sador to Famous Footwear.

When a student redeems a coupon, Materne receives $5 in store credit.

If she’s the first of the company’s ambassadors in the country to reach 50 redeemed coupons, she receives a $2,500 scholarship.

As one of two ambassadors at UNT for NASCAR, Bhakta, a marketing senior, said the company employs 22 ambassadors across the nation at schools situated close to race locations along the Sprint Cup Series.

She and other ambassadors said companies seek students who are outgoing and know where to go and who to talk to on campus to make a company’s promotional campaign as effective as possible.

Bhakta, who started her job in August, is responsible for building awareness of NASCAR on campus and promoting the Nov. 6 race at Texas Motor Speedway by hosting campus events and handing out giveaways such as Frisbees and T-shirts to students.

While the military and apartment complexes that cater to college students have been using young promoters for years, on-campus brand ambassa-dors have been growing exponentially, Bhakta said.

In fact, this is the first year NASCAR has used on-campus brand ambassa-dors, she said.

Bissett said Fry Street and the area surrounding it lack permanent trash recepta-cles.

“We know that students want to do the right thing and want to put trash where it belongs; they just don’t have the option all the time,” Bissett said.

Residents complain that the street is littered, so Keep Denton Beautiful chose to put some of the BigBellys in the Fry Street area.

The area is listed at number three on the Keep Denton Beautiful website’s top 10 areas of l it ter complaint. Other potential spots for the trash compactors on Fry Street include the space between Lucky Lou’s and Riprocks, next to Copy Pro on the Fry Street side and near the exit of the parking lot located on Avenue A.

steps to become more envi-ronmentally friendly.

“The street looks like it isn’t well taken care of,” Soto said. “In the economy everyone is complaining we need to save money and if something small like this can help, then it’s a good thing.”

O t h e r c i t i e s l i k e Philadelphia have imple-m e nt e d t h e Bi g B e l l y systems citywide, installing about 500 systems. The BigBel ly Sola r website reported that Philadelphia saved nearly $900,000 in the first year of installa-tion in 2009.

Although Denton is not installing a large number of systems, officials expect the city will cut costs on waste disposal, help create a recycling culture and keep the city clean.

The city is storing the BigBel ly trash compac-tors in a warehouse-type tent near the city landfill until officials decide where to put them and who will empty them.

Sarver said.That may have something

to do with the well-recog-nized expertise and status of some of the group’s founding members: A list of member names on the group’s website includes former UT President Peter Flawn, former UT regent Janiece Longoria and former Lt. Gov. Bill Ratliff.

The coalition is reaching out to legislators and university leaders in an effort to “give voice to debate” on higher education reform, Sarver said.

She credited the Young Texans for Excel lence in Higher Education, made up mostly of student government leaders at UT and A&M, with also bringing the debate to students.

“They are trying to encourage and engage students with

what’s at stake in higher educa-tion,” Sarver said.

Nata l ie But ler, student body president at UT and a founding member of the Young Texans, has written numerous columns advocating the group and its “Our Degrees Matter” campaign, designed to fight against negative university reforms and increase student involvement.

UNT is not currently involved w ith the Texas Coalit ion for Excel lence in Higher Education, but UNT’s Student Government Association is a member of the Texas Student Association, a group composed of student government asso-ciations around the state that lobbies legislators on univer-sity issues.

S G A P r e s ide nt Bl a k e Windham said the TSA acts

as a “mega-SGA.” The different universities represented in the TSA find a common ground and then contact legislators to make their case.

“It always starts with each university contacting their individual legislators once they find a cause to rally around,” Windham said. “That’s the point, is to make those common goals heard by individual legis-lators.”

In the past, the TSA has fought against allowing the carrying of concealed weapons on college campuses and higher taxes on textbooks. Windham said the TSA only meets every other year, during legislative “on years,” and typically the SGA brings nine to 12 students to Austin to lobby legislators personally on issues relevant to Texas universities.

Gluten-free products have quickly become one of the fast-est-growing markets, with every-thing from gluten-free grocery store offerings to gluten-free restaurant menus.

Gluten, the protein found in wheat and other grains, is now reaching 25 percent of the population as a diet concern, but experts say there is more to this disease-related intolerance that consumers should know.

“Nowadays, we have a big choice in gluten-free prod-ucts,” said Betty Barfield, presi-dent of the North Texas Gluten Intolerance Group. “In 2011, $1.3 billion is expected to be purchased and produced [of gluten-free products] and has risen by 110 percent over the last 10 years.”

Experts are just scratching the surface of understanding diseases and allergies directly related to gluten intake, specifi-cally Celiac disease, the autoim-mune disease in which a hyper-sensitivity of the small intestine to gluten causes chronic failure to digest food. The disease is currently estimated as affecting .5-1 percent of the population, a percentage that is considered to be severely underestimated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

“Initial research reveals we have just begun including Celiac disease as an examination item in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,” said Corey Slavitt, public affairs specialist for the National Center for Health Statistics. “We have no imme-diate data available on incidence rate for the disease and preva-lence of the gluten allergy.”

Celiac disease is labeled as a

“new examination item” for the 2009-2010 year, according to a press release from the CDC.

“The incidence of gluten intol-erance has risen over the years,” Barfield said. “All the fast foods we eat are gluten-based. Our ancestors had for all these years eaten meat, fruits and fish. Now, our bodies are just barred with gluten.”

Some restaurants are begin-ning to pay more attention to consumers’ health concerns, adding gluten-free entrees to their menus.

“It was definitely a demand and a trend that we’ve seen in the market and with consumers,” said Kim Vieux, main operations manager for Le Peep in Denton. “It’s definitely a different proce-dure for us to make sure nothing is contaminated with gluten. One cook makes [gluten-free entrees] on the other end of the kitchen.”

In the Denton area, where gluten-free options are limited, Vieux said it is nice to be able to offer them to customers, but because ingredients can be hard to find, prices for the entrees do tend to run a little higher than those with gluten.

For some, the choice to eat gluten-free is just that: a choice. The gluten-free diet is among the newest popular regimens to reach the market. But even for those who suspect they may have gluten intolerance, experts say there are things to consider before dieting.

“People will go on it because it’s the current fad to do,” said Lora Williams, a registered dietician at the Student Health and Wellness Center. “Say you’re a patient and you take matters into your own hands. You’ll start to feel better, but now you can’t be diagnosed because you got better; you came up negative on panel.”

Williams estimates those self-treaters may have to wait six months to a year after re-incor-porating gluten into their diet to be accurately diagnosed as gluten intolerant or not.

“The benefit of becoming diag-nosed is having a tax write-off, and the doctor will take you seri-ously,” Williams said.

People who suspect them-selves to be gluten intolerant may suffer a myriad of symp-toms including: anemia, weight loss, abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea, though for some, symp-toms may be dormant, according to http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/.

As it stands, most testing for gluten intolerance and Celiac disease is administered based on doctor recommendation, Barfield said. As research continues to develop, experts are becoming better able to detect it among patients.

the competition as well. Entrants had to design prom and home-coming dresses.

Sarah Van Sice, buyer and design department coordinator for Terry Costa, said contestants had to create the “next hot prom look” in a short period of time.

“They had to anticipate the trends for the upcoming year and create a design they could make to walk down the runway,” she said. “This year we had a great group of girls competi-tion-wise.”

Reyes said she participated because she wanted to show her work and get an opportunity to network.

“It was a great experience and a lot of fun,” she said. “It’s nerve-racking to see your design walking down the runway, but it feels good to hear the public cheer for your dress and know they like it; it’s a huge compli-ment.”

Li-Fen Anny Chang of the fashion design faculty said the department encourages students to participate in contests to gain experience and see the designs from students in other schools.

“The awards and scholarships are respected, but the exposure to other students’ creations is even more enlightening,” she said.

The winner was determined based on creativity, execution and public votes, Sice said. The panel of judges voting on the designs included noted fashion

icon Jan Strimple, formalwear designer Vance Scott and jewelry designer Lorren Bell, Sice said.

“It [Lauren’s design] was beau-tiful,” she said. “It was extremely creative right off the bat and her sketch and final product were well-executed. She got the highest scores from the judges and the most popular votes.”

In a week and a half, Perdue finished the contest entry and said it was a real commitment.

She said she did a lot of research to figure out what types of colors and materials would be in style by 2013.

“I found that blue and gray would be in at that time and I used a sparkly chiffon mate-rial that would sparkle all night long because at prom all you do is dance and take pictures,” she said. “That’s what the dress was made for.”

Perdue said she plans to work with a larger label to learn the ropes in designing. Her main goal is to enter plus-size fashion because she feels it’s a market that needs a lot of help.

“Being a chubby girl, I have the advantage of understanding what designs to make for plus size girls,” Perdue said. “Everyone deserves to feel special and pretty, and if that’s something my designs can do for other people I’d feel like I’ve made a difference.”

Halloween brings loads of scary and demented villains, but none as twisted as Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 classic “Psycho.”

The film stars Janet Leigh as Marion, who is on the run because she’s wanted for stealing money from her employer. She stumbles upon the Bates Motel run by the unassuming Norman Bates, played by Anthony Hopkins. While the motel seems tran-quil, madness awaits behind its gates.

While most horror films rely on graphic gore or cheesy villains for thrills, “Psycho” takes a psycholog-ical approach to horror. The film is centered on Bates’ descent into psychosis and his inability to accept reality. As he loses his identity, he becomes increasingly violent and unpredictable, resulting in horrific murder and a twist ending.

The film’s climax is during the notorious shower scene. In the scene, a mysterious murderer attacks Leigh’s character. The scene features more than 70 different camera angles and a specially built camera to depict the shadowy murderer amidst a flow of

water. Leigh was so affected by the filming of the scene that she stopped taking showers and only took baths while filming the movie.

“Psycho” isn’t scary in the sense of monsters coming out of a closet, but the unraveling of a

murderer and what he will do to preserve his fantasies is chilling. This Halloween, forget Freddy Krueger or Frankenstein or the Jigsaw Killer. Instead, for a mind-blowing ending that will leave you afraid of your own bathroom, watch “Psycho.”

When Lauren Perdue grad-uated from the University of Texas with a degree in history, she landed a job right out of college.

But in her spare time she continued to work on her first love: fashion design.

When she was laid off from her job, she decided to give college another shot, but with a different career in mind the second time around.

Now a fashion design junior at UNT, Perdue said the hard luck turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

“It’s been incredible to learn something new every day,” she said. “The professors have never steered me wrong and they’re an incredible treasure at UNT.”

Perdue entered the Terry Costa Catwalk Competition a few months ago and beat out 10 other women for the grand prize.

Perdue received a $1,000 scholarship, a shadowing day with designer Tony Bawls and a market day with Terry Costa buyers.

“I was really happy to have that validation from professionals who think I’m good designer,” she said. “It makes me think I’m doing the right thing and this is the happiest I’ve ever been.”

“Reach i ng t he col lege market is important for any brand and any company just because you’re reaching the demographic that, when they graduate, will be using your product,” she said. “That’s your fan base that goes out and likes Facebook pages; they actually go out and write stuff about it in social media.”

Bhakta will be done with her job after the November race.

LaTeonia Briggs, a human resource junior and one of UN T’s Black Ber r y bra nd ambassadors, will finish her three-month term at the end of this month.

She said her favorite part of her job is interacting with students.

“We tr y not to ma ke it seem like we’re trying to sell an idea,” she said. “We just try to make it where we’re having fun with the students on campus.”

Briggs said the hardest part of the job is working with campus policies.

Since brand ambassadors are not a student organization or an outside vendor because they are not actually selling a product, Briggs said they cannot reserve a booth for

tabling on their own. Instead, they must partner with an organization on campus.

“It’s like we don’t really have a place on campus,” she said. “I wouldn’t say they [univer-

sity officials] have a negative attitude towards us; it’s just more that there isn’t a place for us, they aren’t like, ‘Hey student ambassadors, come on.’”

What would you like to see in the new Student Union

building?

“I say just a more comforting café atmosphere. I love coming to the Union and getting coffee, but maybe just an area with big

comfy chairs.”

“I’d want to say more seating, but there’s already enough seating. Maybe more food options; there’s not enough

variety. That’s about it. I feel like it’s big enough already. There’s

a lot of space, a lot of open space. There’s always space in case anyone ever wants to do

anything other than study. Just more variety as far as the food

goes.”

“Every time I go into the Union, it’s to hang out, but maybe a few more places to sit around, hang out. Maybe a bigger cafeteria,

something like that.”

Nod: UNT’s effort to be transparent in

Union Master Plan

Much like it did with controversial vote for an athletic fee to fund Apogee Stadium in 2008, UNT administration will present the SGA with legislation to bring a vote to students on a newly renovated University Union.

It appears UNT administration has learned its lesson since then, though.

Not only has the university been making an extra effort to open discus-sion to students in the early stages, but it is also providing information is available to students. From Master Plan meetings to focus groups and the

Union Master Plan Project blog, it is apparent the university is determined to remain transparent in every stage of the process.

The Editorial Board applauds UNT’s inclusive effort to remain transparent and encourages students to take part in the process before the issue comes to a student body election.

Shake: Rick Perry can’t decide if Obama’s birth

certificate is an issue

Just when the Barack Obama “birther” issue was put to rest, Gov. Rick Perry revived the issue. Perry called into question the validity of

Obama’s birth certificate and said the issue was worth “keeping alive” in an interview with CNBC.

By Tuesday, Perry said the contro-versy serves as a distraction and only meant to “poke fun” at Obama.

Even though the GOP debates have turned Perry’s campaign into the butt of political pundits’ jokes, it does not warrant bringing such a foolish, merit-less issue to light again, just for “fun.”

Nod: Security at State Fair ensured success

Dallas’ annual frenzy over fried food came to an end on Sunday when fair-goers said goodbye to the State Fair of

Texas once again.The farewell brought good news,

as this year’s run was one of the most successful and safest in history. This year’s estimated $35 million in revenue puts it behind last year’s $37 million record-breaking year.

New attractions, live concerts and fan favorites made sure visitors had fun, but it was the increase in secu-rity and extra surveillance that helped ensure the fair’s 125th edition was a safe one.

The Editorial Board thanks the Dallas Police Department and Fair Security for keeping Texans free from harm at one of the state’s biggest events.

Now that the Rangers’ World Series appearance has piqued our interest in baseball, check out the book or the film “Moneyball.” In it, the owners of the Oakland A’s come up with an inventive new system to run the team with less money than the “big dogs” of Major League Baseball. For UNT administrators, doing more with less is a familiar challenge.

Since 2003, the Board of Regents has increased tuition each year to make up for the funding gaps created by state legislators. It’s a tough situa-tion for them.

This year, the administration is throwing its knuckle curve ball, the middle finger placed firmly over the “g” in “Rawling.”

Last week, UNT President Lane Rawlins, apparently getting his pitching instructions from the Regents’ bullpen, said at a Student Government Association meeting that “In order for you to get a world-class education...” T h e r e ’s t h e w i n d u p . . . “You’re going to have to pay for it.” ...and the pitch.

We ’ v e s w u n g a t t h a t before. T he cou nt is 0-1. At the same SGA meeting, Rawlins announced a new credo for UNT, supposedly our first ever.

If you’re wondering what a credo is, it’s like a mission statement, which we already have. In other words, it’s a nebulous collection of trendy busi-ness jargon you’ll never see again. This slow changeup will drift by us into the catcher’s mitt as we’re rolling our eyes. Sitting on 0-2 now. We all know what’s coming now: fast-ball, straight down the middle.

Every year we’re caught swinging at this one, and every year we whiff it. Anybody who doesn’t follow the losing

strategy will be accused of not wanting us to achieve Tier One status, assuming legislators ever plan to promote another school to that level.

They’ll announce that despite all their best efforts to keep UNT affordable, the president and Board of Regents have been forced to raise tuition once again so we can remain competitive at the national level. But I hope they’ll do some-t h i ng d i f ferent t h is t i me. Wouldn’t it be better for UNT if we could advertise ourselves as the school that found a way around the cuts?

What if we could be the univer-sity that didn’t immediately resort to raising tuition every year?

What if the board brought in the best and brightest of the university, the professors and students of various departments, and heard some alter-nate solutions to the budget problems? If we’re trying to beat the “big dog” universities in Texas, doesn’t it make sense to use a different game plan than the one that hasn’t worked so far?

Brandon Cooper is a kinesiology graduate student. He can be contacted at runfellow@gmail.com.

As a senior, I catch myself wondering about the different roles I will play in the wider realm upon graduation. Recently, I got to see the tremendous impact I could have as a teacher in one of our state’s highest-need regions.

In the Rio Grande Valley, there are many students growing up without many of the basic necessities like electricity and running water that we take for granted.

Too often, these students don’t get the educational opportunities they deserve.

After spending a long weekend with Teach For America corps members, I met numerous educa-tors who are working to change this frustrating reality. I realized this could be me next year.

These teachers know their students can achieve at the highest levels when given the right support. They are a critical piece in an exciting effort to give our kids the excellent education they deserve no matter what their family income.

While in McAllen, I had the oppor-tunity to visit Teach For America corps members’ classrooms, attend panel discussions and meet with community leaders.

One of the most powerful moments for me occurred during an open discussion in a room full of individuals from universities around the country who shared a common passion for change. Thirst for action filled the air as I brainstormed ideas back and forth with my new friends and how we could contribute to the movement.

My time at UNT has proved invalu-able in shaping who I am as a scholar and a person. It has provided me

with a launching pad to a fulfilling and meaningful career. As a Teach For America teacher, I could have the chance to partner with others across classrooms and communities to help a new generation of students have these same opportunities for success.

The wide disparity in the quality of education available to kids according to their ZIP code or family income is the greatest challenge facing our state, and it will take a generation of committed leaders to solve it.

As members of the North Texas community and future leaders in education, business, law, govern-ment and many other important fields, it’s imperative that we ask ourselves what role we’ll play in the broader efforts to expand educa-tional opportunity.

I’ve discovered my passion for helping students of color attain the educational opportunity they deserve. I hope many of you decide to join me in this movement.

still have work to do, although the team broke through by placing 22nd out of 32 teams in an ultracompetitive field at the Chile Pepper Festival on Oct. 15.

At the championships on Saturday, the UNT women w i l l l i kely have t wo Top 10 f inishers once again in Mollenkopf and Dietz and the men will likely have one in sophomore Matt Russ. This season, Dietz has run 33 seconds faster than at the championships last year and Mollenkopf has continued to lead the team, as she nearly equaled her fastest 6k (21:40.9) time with a 21:42 at the Chile Pepper Festival. Meanwhile, Russ has knocked off a minute and a half off of his 10k time. These top runners wil l be important at the conference meet, but their finishes will mean nothing if the teams fail to bring their fourth and fifth runners across the line quick enough.

As UNT knows from last season, depth w il l be the dif ference bet ween a Top 3 f inish and a sixth-place finish.

One week from today, the Mean Green soccer team will begin play in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament a year after suffering its earliest exit in the tournament in school history.

UNT (12-4-2, 7-1-1) won’t know what seed it will get until after Friday’s Sun Belt regular season tit le game against Denver (15-3-0, 9-1-0), but depending on the result, UNT will receive one of the top four seeds in the eight-team tour-nament.

“This team has the talent to go as far as it wants in the tour-nament, but we’re not looking past Friday’s game,” head coach John Hedlund said. “And it’s because Friday is going to set up everything for us. If we win Friday, we get the one seed, but if we lose Friday, we don’t know where we’ll be, anywhere from two, three, or four, which is a much tougher draw for us.”

The Mean Green has won the tournament twice, but hasn’t accomplished the feat since 2005. UNT entered last season’s tournament as the three seed, but was upset by the six seed, tournament host Western Kentucky, in a 3-0 shutout.

“We’re really not focusing on last year or what happened

It starts slow. UNT is 0-3-1 when its opponent scores first, but 12-1-1 when it scores first. The defense is good enough to keep the Mean Green in every game it will play, but early goals might make for an early tournament exit.

Players to Watch:Freshman goalkeeper

Jackie Kerestine: She has made sure there

has been very little drop-off after the school’s all-time wins, shutouts and saves leader Mandy Hall gradu-ated after last season. She’s coming off a game where she had 10 saves, a career high. She now ranks second in the conference with a 0.84 goals against average this season. Translation: Teams don’t score on her too often. UNT will go as far as the freshman is able to take it.

Junior forward Michelle Young:

When she has the ball in the open field, it’s usually bad news for the opposing team. Young is second in the conference in goals (12), goals per game (0.71), and points (27).

Mean Green Playoff Scenarios:If UNT beats Denver: UNT

wins the conference and is the one seed in the tourna-ment.

If UNT draws: Denver wins the conference and is the one seed in the tourna-ment. UNT is the two seed in the tournament if Florida International draws or loses to Florida Atlantic and is the three seed if FIU wins.

If UNT loses : Denver wins the conference and is the one seed in the tournament. UNT is the two seed if FIU loses and Middle Tennessee does not win. UNT is the three seed if FIU draws or wins OR Middle Tennessee wins. UNT is the four seed if FIU draws or wins AND Middle Tennessee wins.

It plays to its potential. It’s that simple. This is a very good team that can score in bunches and can suffocate teams on defense.

in last season’s tournament,” sophomore defender Kelsey Hodges said. “This year’s team is very good and we’re playing well right now, so I think this stretch we’re on right now shows that we can go far.”

If UNT secures one of the top two seeds against Denver on Friday, the team will likely face Troy or Arkansas-Little Rock in the first round of the tournament. The Mean Green beat both teams this season by a combined score of 6-1, with the most lopsided victory coming in as a 4-1 win over the Trojans at the Mean Green Soccer Complex.

If UNT tumbles down to the

three or four seed, it’s likely looking at a date with Western Kentucky or South Alabama in the quarterfinals. UNT beat WKU 2-1 in each team’s Sun Belt opener. The Mean Green’s game with South Alabama was rained out and canceled on Oct. 9.

“That’s why this last Denver ga me is so i mpor ta nt,” freshman goalkeeper Jackie Kerestine said. “This is what

we’ve worked for all summer and all year and now it’s here with the tournament right after that. This game just really means so much.”

The quarterfinal games of the Sun Belt Tournament will begin next Wednesday from Murfreesboro, Tenn.

“These girls have worked so hard all season, starting in August, preseason, and two-a-days,” Hedlund said. “One of our biggest goals was to try to make sure the Denver game means something and it’s for the one seed now and that means a lot.”

“The team has the talent to go as far as

it wants.”—John Hedlund

Schubert’s Shakedown: Depth wins championships

Austin Schubert

Opinion

Austin schuBertStaff Writer

As the men’s and women’s cross-countr y teams head to Kentucky for Saturday’s S u n B e l t C o n f e r e n c e Championships, they must focus on depth if they hope to place well in the standings.

For those who don’t know how cross-country scoring works, here’s a quick lesson. Take the places of a team’s top five runners, add them up and you have a team’s score. First place is 1 point, second place is 2 points and so on. The lowest score wins.

As is the case in any team sport, a cross-country team ca n’t w i n w it h a si ng le member of the team. Sure, having an elite runner or two who can finish near the front helps a team’s score. However, in order to do well, a team needs five solid runners who can finish with little gap in between them.

The team that brings its fifth runner across the line first usually wins. If there’s one thing that head coach Sam Burroughs has preached

all season, it’s been the need for a deep team.

The bottom line is that depth wins championships.

Take last year’s Sun Belt Championships, for example. Both the men’s and women’s champions, Arkansas-Little Rock and Western Kentucky, brought their f if th runner across the line first and had the sma llest gap bet ween their first and fifth runners.

At that same race, UNT lacked the depth to win. Then juniors Ingrid Mollenkopf and Sara Dietz finished seventh a nd 10t h overa l l for t he women, but the team’s fourth and f ifth runners f inished 48th and 60th overall, leading to a mediocre si xth-place team finish.

The men had an eighth-place finisher in then-senior Patrick Strong at last year’s championships, but like the women, were hurt by 45th and 60th finishes from their fourt h and f i f t h runners, which left the team also in sixth place.

The teams worked hard to become deeper in 2011. So far, the improvement has been evident, especially on the women’s side. The men
