The University Union serves many purposes for students and faculty. At the meeting Tuesday evening, the Master Plan committee met for the � rst time with mem-bers of Perkins + Will, the architectural � rm selected for the upcoming Union renovation. The committee members shared their ideas with the architects, saying students would like to see more signage to make it easier to navigate, an enhanced Mean Green presence, and better usage of natural light in the new building.

More t ha n 150 U N T employees expressed concern, confusion and in some cases open hostility about a poten-tial change in the UNT System’s employment policy at two public meetings Tuesday.
The switch to an at-will employment policy proposed by Chancellor Lee Jackson would allow the UNT System to fire staff members for any “lawful” cause.
Employee input from the meetings will be assembled and presented to Jackson,
said Richard Escalante, vice chancellor for administrative services for the UNT System and member of the committee that recommended changes to the existing employment policy.
“It should be clear that the chancellor has made no deci-sion on the at-will status, and
will not do so until he has heard your comments,” Escalante said.
Jackson, who was not present, notified UNT System employees of the possible change in an email on Nov. 4. The change in employment policy would not affect faculty or employees with
existing contracts, but would apply to UNT staff.
The recommendation for at-will employment came as a response to reviews of current policies and procedures, which Jackson said “are out of step with the policies of most other Texas public institutions of
higher education.”Escalante, who moderated
the meetings, said they are not intended to be question-and-answer sessions, and deferred most questions to an FAQ form on at-will employment.

What began as a class project for a capstone film course resulted in a national cinematography award for UNT alumnus Joshua Spires.
Spires was recently named one of four winners in the Kodak Film School Cinematography Competition for his camera work on “The Whale,” a short film directed by UNT alumnus Jaime Chapin.
The awards are given to student cinematographers and recent graduates from each major region of the world – the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa. Winners are given the opportunity to screen their films in February at the 2012 Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival.
Though the award was given to Spires individually, he gave the utmost credit to the crew, which Chapin said was close to a dozen strong, and his instructor, Eugene Martin of the radio, television and film faculty.
“It was incredible how much support we got from friends and family and friends of friends for
this project,” Chapin said. “UNT is really supportive. Everyone I’ve talked to since I’ve graduated can’t believe how much support UNT gives to their students.”
The film, which runs about 14 minutes long, is about a boy escaping into his imagination to repress a cycle of paternal abuse, according to the Kodak press release.
“The Whale” debuted at UNT just days before most of the group’s graduation, and has since been shown at the Zero Film Festival in New York and throughout North Texas.
“Everybody came together better than you could even expect or ask for,” Spires said. “Mostly I’m just grateful for my crew; they made it happen.”
The film was shot on loca-tion at Caddo Lake near the Texas-Louisiana border over the course of three weekends. Most of the budget was raised independently through social media outlets, Spires said.

Chicago-based architec-ture firm Perkins+Will Inc. begins its f irst day on the job today as the company selected to construct a reno-vated Un iversit y Un ion, the largest project in UNT history.
The Union’s renovation is estimated to cost around $100 mil l ion according to the Dallas Business Journal, though Union director Zane Reif said it might be too soon to talk numbers.
“This is the same team that
has done several unions here in Texas already,” said Ron Stelmarski, student life expert for Perkins+Will. “One at UT San Antonio … We have a lot of experience working in Texas.”
Members of the Perkins+Will team who will work on the Union design met with UNT administrators Tuesday to discuss how student input would inf luence t he new building’s design.
A photo survey would be one method of identif ying what students want to see in the Union, Reif said.
“Students vote with their feet,” Stelmarski said. “You can tell what they want by where they go. I think the idea of asking them to take photos of the places they go is a really good one.”
Members of the company as well as other university officials went on a tour of the Union Tuesday to scope out damages to be repaired before beginning renovations.

Denton residents successfully appealed to the City Council Tuesday in their request to reconsider approval of a contro-versial transmission line resi-dents say poses safety hazards and hurts land value.
The city approved one proposed route for a Denton Municipal Electric transmis-sion line project and delayed approval of a second line after residents voiced concerns.
“After all the drama that we had to go through, I’m really happy that it was resolved,” Denton resident Christina Watson said. “I’m sad to see a similar situation arising again. I would like to hope [the City Council] considers the issue equally.”
The approved route, or purple
route, stretches 4 miles, begin-ning west of Loop 288 and ending just south of McKinney Street and would cost $20.2 million to construct.
The purple line was drafted in September as a response to homeowners who feared the “red route” DME initially proposed would affect their property.
The red route would have run through six houses in Denton’s East Oaks subdivision.
The city delayed approval on DME’s “yellow route” in order to look for alternate routes that would affect fewer home-owners.
DME proposed building the transmission line along Hercules Lane from East Sherman Drive to the North Denton Power Substation on Locust Street, a route Denton residents say
poses safety concerns for nearby homes.
Watson, a resident of East Oaks, said she believed the city made the right decision in rerouting the purple line and said the same consideration should be extended to homeowners on Hercules Lane.
“We need a real crunching of the numbers on some alter-natives that may be helpful to get that thing out of the way,” District 4 Councilman Chris Watts said. “This is why we have this process.”
The proposed yellow route would cost $7 million, said DME general manager Phil Williams; however, DME will begin working on new ways to reroute the yellow line to affect the fewest number of homes, he said.
“This is the same team that has done several unions here in Texas already.”

Members of the Student Government Association are providing golf cart rides to students around campus this week as part of the Carts for Cancer frundraiser, which benefits the Cook Children’s Health Care System.
Students can pay $1 for rides across campus or $5 for rides across Interstate 35E in one of two golf carts driven by SGA senators.
“It’s a way for us to put on a philanthropy, but it’s also a way for us to get to know our constituents,” said College of Business senator David Schuler. “I can talk to other people on the car rides over, tell them what’s going on in SGA and how they can get involved and how they can stay updated. So
it’s kind of a ‘kill two birds with one stone’ kind of deal.”
Proceeds will be donated to Cook Children’s, a Fort Worth-based hospital system that specializes in cancer treat-ment and research for chil-dren. It was chosen as the offi-cial philanthropy for Carts for Cancer when the program started last year.
“It’s obviously a wonderful charity,” SGA President Blake Windham said. “Everyone wants to combat childhood cancer.”
Political science senior Eric Shockey took advantage of the $1 ride Tuesday and said the cause is special to him because his father is battling brain cancer.
“It’s a good cause, and it’s better than walking,” Shockey said.
Students are also welcome to ca l l t he SGA of f ice to reserve a ride in a cart, said criminal justice sophomore and SGA sergeant-at-arms Marcos Torres.
“As long as we have a cart available, and they tell us, ‘Hey, I need someone to pick me up at ‘so-and-so’’ at a certain t ime, we can defi-nitely go ahead and pick them up,” Torres said.
The program took in $161 in its first day and hopes to surpass the nearly $1,300 it ra ised la st yea r, sa id speaker of the senate Charles Vincent.
Carts for Cancer will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Friday, and if it continues to be successful, Torres said the SGA plans to reserve three carts to handle more riders.

According to the FAQs, employees fired under the at-will policy would still undergo a review process, although it would be much more expedient than the current for-cost system.
Under the for-cost system, employees who complete a probationary period can only be terminated for cause, and after going through certain procedural steps, Jackson wrote in the email.
Questions left unanswered during Tuesday’s meetings will be addressed in an updated FAQ expected to be released Friday, Escalante said.
About 75 employees packed into University Union 412 for the second meeting Tuesday night, and several wanted to know why a change in policy is being considered.
“What is it about our current system that is broken and requires a complete

terribly wrong and we wouldn’t know until we got the film back,” Chapin said. “It became so involved with everybody that all we were really thinking about was what we were doing at the time.”
The award is one opportu-nity for students and recently graduated cinematographers to have work recognized, as it only considers that element of product ion a nd on ly allows student submissions, according to the competition’s website.

“What I’ve heard from other architects is we have a really good base,” Reif said. “Our columns and pillars lend themselves to be conducive [to renova-tion construction].”
Essentially, the Union will need to be “gutted” to take care of its less-desirable features such as roof leaks and asbestos before construction can
commence, Reif said.“Because we were grand-
fathered in, we didn’t have to have a sprinkler system,” Reif said.
The renovated Union will incorporate these updates along with a number of ameni-ties students suggest.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2014 to be completed by 2016, pending approval from a student referendum in March 2012.
The Master Plan committee, composed of various appointed students as well as faculty, will continue its quest to scope out
different universities’ unions with a trip to A&M on Friday.
The company has more LEED-accredited professionals than any other design firm in North America, according to bdcnetwork.com, and was ranked as the #1 Design Firm by ARCHITECT Magazine of 2011, according to the maga-zine’s website.
Perkins+Will also designed the new Life Sciences Complex, completed last spring.

rewrite?” asked Dennis Fisher, associate director of wind studies for UNT’s College of Music.
The meetings drew UNT police officers, custodians, lab directors, counselors and others, none of whom openly said they
supported an at-will employ-ment policy.
Ron Dilulio, director of the astronomy lab program and planetarium, said UNT employees are frightened by the possibility of their jobs and benefits becoming less secure.
Dilulio and several others said they felt a switch to an at-will policy would change their posi-tive view of the university.
“This Chancellor [Jackson] has managed to pull and defer our funds away from this campus to a system we don’t agree with,” he said.
Dilulio and others suggested that difficulties dealing with underperforming employees and other problems with the UNT System’s employment policy could be addressed without changing to at-will status.
Charles Norton, a part-time employee at UNT’s visual arts program and member of the Texas State Employees Union, said a change to at-will status would lead to unfair firings at the university.
“This policy is clearing the way for a significant firing of employees without reason,” Norton said.
Escalante said concerns from UNT employees would be addressed further in a press release Friday. UNT will accept comments until Nov. 21 at: [email protected].

Constructing the transmis-sion line along the southern side of Loop 288, north of the Hercules Lane route, is one option DME has considered, Williams said, but no final plans have been agreed upon. If the route were moved north, its cost would be around $11 million, he said.
C ont r ov e r s y ov e r t he p r o p o s e d y e l l o w r o u t e stem med f rom residents’ concern that the transmis-sion lines would harm prop-erty values because of the ea sement s necessa r y for construction.
Johnny Davis, who owns a home near Hercules Lane, said residents in that neigh-borhood did not receive suffi-cient notice about the project,
and said the estimated costs were not made clear.
“I think as cit izens and families of this neighborhood, and as taxpayers to the city, we have the right to see those numbers,” Davis said.
T he Cit y Cou nci l a lso discussed amendments to
the city’s second phase of gas well ordinances during the Council’s work session. District 1 City Councilman Kevin Roden said nothing was decided and the session was more an update about the progress of the first phase of ordinances.

Two of ntTV’s programs bested other Texas Universities at the Lone Star Emmy Awards in Houston earlier this month.
“A Change in Degree,” a sitcom about college students, and “Nightly News,” each won awards in their respective cate-gories on Nov. 5.
Additionally, three ntTV programs received recognition after EMPixx awarded three of the television channel’s shows a gold standard award.
For EMPixx, programs are rated by a panel of judges on a scale from 1 to 10. “North Texas NOW,” an ntTV morning talk show; “Backstage: Godspell,” a documentary; and “A Change in Degree,” a sitcom about college students, all received a rating between 7 and 9, accomplishing the gold EMPixx standard.
Matthew Torres, news director for ntTV, said he was ecstatic knowing all their time and effort working on the shows was recog-nized.
“Mixing this with school was complicated, but to know that someone outside of the college has seen our work and dedica-tion and allowed us to win these awards means a great deal,” he said.
Torres said he never imagined winning awards for any of the shows, but now that he knows what they’re capable of, he said it is important to remember.
“Now that we know how last
semester went and what mistakes we’ve made, I think we’ve come light years from where we were,” he said. “We do this because we want to do it, because we’re passionate and it’s our hobby; we don’t do it for the awards.”
Noah Sargent, produc-tion manager and creator of “Backstage: Godspell,” said this was the first time they submitted their shows for the EMPixx awards.
“We weren’t sure how we were going to do, but it was a great feeling coming back with awards,” he said. “It feels good to know our work is being appre-ciated.”
Sargent said he thinks these shows are popular with the students because they’re relat-able to them.
“We try to produce shows that will wow the students,” he said. “A lot of times professors might not understand what students are into or say, ‘Oh, it’s just student work,’ but we’re actually producing something students are interested in and can win awards.”
Catrin Garcia, a business junior, said she thinks it’s great that ntTV is finally being recog-nized for its hard work.
“A lot of students may not appreciate the shows they put out or pay a lot of attention to them,” she said. “But maybe now that they’ve won some prestigious awards, people will start to take them more seriously.”

For the 19 TAMS students competing in t he prest i-gious Siemens competition, the contest is a culmination of years of work poring over experiments in labs.
Students competed last weekend at the University of Texas at Austin, where first-year TAMS student Kevin Chang, along with his team members from Austin and San Fransisco, won in the team division. The group will share a $6,000 scholarship and advance to Washington to compete for the $100,000 prize at the national compe-tition.
TAMS students have peren-nially made strong showings in the prestigious national competit ion open to high school students. In 2008, TAMS student Wen Chyan won the competition along with its $100,000 award.
With 19 participants, TAMS had more regional semifinal-ists and finalists than any other school in the country. Of the 19 competitors, Favyen Bastani, Kevin Chen, Alex Hong and Helen Xiong advanced to the regional finals before failing to move on. For making regional finals, the four received $1,000 scholarships.
To be eligible for the compe-tition, high school students submit an 18-page report based on original research in math, science or technology.
The students pitted their research against 30 other finalists and teams.
“It’s not just a science project,” said TAMS semi-f i na l ist Dav id Ch i, who researched potential drug treatment of heart attacks. “You get to ex plore new concepts and step on the fron-tier of scientific research.”
But before t hey cou ld discover new ideas, students spend long hours in the lab testing and researching, said TAMS semifinalist Malina Patel. Patel has spent about t h ree yea rs resea rch i ng

“Winning these awards is such an amazing feeling, and the shows we’re working on right now are going to be great,” he said. “This is just a stepping stone for what’s to come and we can only wait and see what’s in store for us in the future.”
One of their upcoming shows that is holding auditions this weekend is “Peppuccinos,” a new show about two twins, Cici and Maxwell, who own a shop named Peppuccinos, that is part coffee shop and part pizza place. The siblings must work together to make the shop a success and pay their rent.
Sargent, one of the show’s
creators, said he hopes many people audition and that the show will bring in more awards.
Audition dates for Peppuccinos will be Nov. 18 and 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Radio, Television Film & Performing Arts Building 261.

drug effects on cancer cells. Besides spending 40-hour weeks harvesting, incubating and treating cells this past summer, she has devoted her winter and spring breaks to the work as well, she said.
A f inalist in last year’s compet it ion, G eorge Qi, worked for f ive mont hs researching poly mers for his semifinals showing this year.
“Research is a way to renew your mind,” Qi said.

“The most rewarding part is being able to investigate niche topics like drug treatments of heart attacks and get a sense of the bigger picture,” he said.
W hi le resea rching, t he students often had trouble understanding the complex material presented by their research, Chi said.
“The research was so mind-boggling. I had only taken honors biology, so I struggled with the concepts,” he said.
Another challenge was the process of trial and error. Each of the students’ dozens of laboratory tests could take anywhere from 20 minutes to three days.
From the experiments, each student or group produced an 18-page paper detailing the research, results and discussion of the data. But that doesn’t mean the work is finished, Patel said.
“Research is never-ending. You can get a positive or nega-tive result, but doesn’t mean it’s the end,” she said.

After posting an 81-52 win against St. Gregory in its season opener, the men’s basketball team will try to continue its success tonight when it takes on the Texas Tech Red Raiders of the Big 12 Conference in Lubbock.
This will be the first big test for the team as it begins a stretch of seven straight road games.
“We’re pretty excited for this game,” senior forward Kedrick Hogans said. “This will be good competition for us. It’s going to be a great envi-ronment to play in.”
The Red Raiders (1-0) took down Sun Belt Conference member Troy 90-85 Friday night. Led by junior guard Ty Nurse, Tech shot 61 percent from the field.
The Mean Green will try to
slow down the Tech offense as it did with St. Gregory. UNT held the Cavaliers to 32 percent shooting.
“Ou r ma in goa ls each game are to defend our oppo-nent well in the half court, hold them to a low shooting percentage, and limit them to one shot,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “If we do that, it will give us a good chance to win the game.”
Several newcomers played
key roles in the team’s opening win.
Freshman guard Jordan Williams led the team with 16 points, and freshman guard Chris Jones had 4 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists and four steals.Though the newcomers will face much stiffer competi-tion in the Red Raiders, Jones said they aren’t fazed.
“We take every game the same,” Jones said. “Our atti-tude is to play every game
hard and don’t take plays off. We need to come out with energy, ready to play defense and execute.”
Last season, UNT earned a 92-83 overtime win against Tech in front of a raucous crowd at the Super Pit. Despite the big win last season, Jones said there is little carry over.
“This team will have to write its own chapter,” Jones said. “This game will be a great challenge for us and we’ll get to see how much we improved from our last outing. Our guys like to compete and they play hard, which is half the battle to winning ballgames.”
After competing in their regular season game as a group, the players expressed t hat t he team is coming together and is prepared for this test.
“Everybody on the team picks up stuff quickly,” Hogans said. “We play defense with energy and don’t have quit in us.”

The UNT women’s basketball team will play the second game of a three-game home stand when it faces Oral Roberts at noon today at the Super Pit.
The Mean Green (2-0) has started the season with consecu-tive wins, defeating UT-Arlington and New Mexico by 19 and 13 points respectively.
With the wins, the team is almost halfway to match last year’s win total of five.
“I think sometimes [winning] is completely taken for granted,” head coach Karen Aston said. “Looking at [the team] Friday night [after defeating UTA], I thought, ‘OK, we’re supposed to win,’ but I wouldn’t have dared say anything to them about that because it was a big deal to them and I need to let it be a big deal to them.”
Like the Mean Green, the Golden Eagles (2-0) opened their season with two victories, topping Drury University and Wisconsin. Oral Roberts netted 80 points in
each game. UNT senior guard Brittney
Hudson said the Mean Green’s press defense has helped the team improve on keeping opponents in check this season. The Mean Green held UTA to 47 points in its season opener, the lowest point total UNT has allowed an oppo-nent since 2009.
The defense will be challenged by Golden Eagles junior guard Kevi Luper, who has averaged 30.5 points and notched 10 steals in two games.
Junior forward Jasmine Godbolt – who was named to the Sun Belt Conference Preseason Second Team – has led the Mean Green on offense, averaging 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds through two games.
UNT’s early success has under-scored new head coach Aston’s emphasis of defense and tran-sition offense, and the team realizes the hard work ahead of them.
“We respect her a lot as a coach,” Godbolt said. “So what-ever she tells us to do, we’re going to listen because we know it’s her helping us to get better and better every day.”
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys have pulled off quite a midseason transformation.
No longer are they a team that will only go as far as Tony Romo throws. No longer are they trying to pull out victories late in the fourth quarter.
Dallas has turned into a balanced club that can break games open early, then stay in control, all because of the emergence of a single player: rookie running back DeMarco Murray.
Since an injury to starter Felix Jones forced Murray to take on a bigger role, the third-round pick from Oklahoma has averaged 150 yards per game and the mere threat of him getting the ball has defenses jumping. Dallas has gone 3-1 in that span, moving within a game of first place in the NFC East.
“I definitely think I get too much credit,” said Murray, who’s been as humble as he’s been effective.
Murray’s breakout began with a franchise-record 253 yards against St. Louis. He’s proven that he was no fluke by gaining 74 yards on just eight carries against Philadelphia, then racking up 139 yards against Seattle and 135 yards this past Sunday against Buffalo.
Consider this: he has three 100-yard games in the past month, while predecessor Jones has two in his 41-game career.
NFL rushing king Emmitt Smith also had three 100-yard games as a rookie, but that was over 16 games; he never had two in a row.
And this: Murray’s 601 yards rushing over a four-game span is 51 yards better than Smith ever had over a similar stretch. His outburst has lifted Dallas from near the bottom of the NFL in rushing to ninth-best.
He’s up to No. 11 in the league despite having had only 14 carries the first four games.
“He is and should be inspi-rational,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “I haven’t seen enough of DeMarco. I’d like to see five more years — at least.”
The Cowboys are 5-4 and play teams with losing records in each of their next three games, giving them a chance to keep this roll going.
Each of their three Murray-infused victories has gotten more impressive. The topper came Sunday with a 44-7 rout of the Buffalo Bills, a team that came in 5-3 and tied for the lead in the AFC East.
Romo is no longer facing a secondary stacked to stop him. Now teams are committing the usual front seven to stopping the run and often adding an eighth man close to the line of scrimmage.
For a quarterback, it’s like the difference between driving on an empty country road and a downtown highway during rush hour. Receivers benefit,
too, because there’s more room for them to roam.
“When (Murray) is bringing the safety down in the box because he is running the ball so well, it opens it up for us on the outside,” said receiver Laurent Robinson, who found enough space to catch two touchdown passes Sunday.
Offensive linemen love run-blocking, and having success at it sends their confidence soaring. It’s no coincidence that this unit, considered a liability early, has just gone back-to-back games without allowing a single sack.
“You see him every week: powerful runner, his vision is outstanding, he can stop on a dime,” left guard Montrae Holland said. “You saw it at the end of the first half when he reversed field. They had overplayed it. He turned back, reversed it and picked up (25) yards. That’s a great back. I don’t think we did anything there to help him out.”

Strict o� season regimen helps Edwards recover from injury
Tigers remain atopcollege standings
Senior forward Alonzo Edwards rebounds a ball during a game against St. Gregory’s Friday at the Super Pit.PHOTO BY KALANI GORDON/CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER
In UNT’s 92-83 statement victory against Texas Tech last season, one Mean Green player led the way with clutch shooting down the stretch. The senior finished with a team-high 32 points and hit a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. What is the name and position of the former UNT star who helped the Mean Green upset the Raiders?
Hint: The player had success against Big 12 opponents throughout his career, scoring 25 points against Oklahoma State and 28 points against Texas his freshman year.
Those who think they know the answer can tweet their guess at the NTDailySports Twitter, @NTDailySports! People who guess correctly will be mentioned in Thursday’s paper.
Mean Green Trivia
NEW YORK (AP) — LSU was a unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press college foot-ball poll, marking the first time since 2008 a team has received all the first-place votes during the regular season.
The Tigers (10-0), who have been No. 1 since Sept. 25, received all 60 first-place votes from the media panel in the rankings released Sunday
The last unanimous top-ranked team in the regular season was Texas on Oct. 26, 2008.
Oklahoma State (10-0) was No. 2 for the second straight week, but the rest of the top five was scrambled a bit after Boise State and Stanford lost for the first time.
Alabama moved up to No. 3, Oregon jumped two spots to No. 4 and Oklahoma moved to No. 5.
The top five teams in the BCS standings released later Sunday, which use the Harris poll and the coaches’ poll, were the same as the top five in the AP poll
LSU had been sharing first-place votes for the last month and a half with Alabama, Oklahoma and Boise State.
But as those teams each took a loss, the Tigers picked up support.
Boise State was the only team other than LSU receiving a first-place vote last week, but after TCU upset the Broncos 36-35 at home on Saturday, the Tigers made a clean sweep.
No. 8 Stanford, which lost 53-30 at home to Oregon, and No. 10 Boise State each fell five spots this week.
The rest of the top 10 had Arkansas at No. 6, Clemson at No. 7 and Virginia Tech at No. 9.
The only other undefeated major college team, Houston from Conference USA, was No. 11.
No. 21 Penn State fell nine spots after it lost its first game following the firing of coach Joe Paterno, 17-14 at home to No. 17 Nebraska.
Four teams dropped out of the rankings after losses: Cincinnati, Auburn, Texas and Georgia Tech.
Cincinnati dropping out leaves the Big East with no ranked teams this week.
The teams entering the rankings this week were No. 19 TCU, No. 23 Florida State, No. 24 Notre Dame and No. 25 Baylor.
All had been previously ranked earlier in the season.
Michigan State is No. 12, followed by Georgia, South Carolina and Wisconsin.
No. 16 Kansas State, Nebraska, Southern California, TCU and Michigan round out the top 20.
Penn State and No. 22 Southern Miss are in the final five, along with three of the newcomers.
The Big Ten and SEC have the most ranked teams with five each.

After struggling with tendon-itis in his left knee most of last season, senior forward Alonzo Edwards thinks an offseason program can keep him out of the trainer’s room this season.
Edwards was sidelined for just three games, but his playing time limited to eight minutes per game off the bench in 30 games.
“It was a lot of pain,” Edwards said of the tendonitis – an inflam-mation, irritation and swelling of a tendon. “I mean, I never missed a game before last year, but the pain was just unbearable.”
Edwards said he started noticing pain while playing at Nebraska. He spent two years there before transferring to Lon Morris College, and joined UNT last season.
“I think it was more me not taking care of my body than it was anything trainers did here or at Nebraska,” Edwards said. “I came here, and they’d stress to me how important it was to take care of myself, so it wasn’t anything different. It was all on me.”
This summer Edwa rds worked to el iminate t he tendonitis with head coach Johnny Jones, head strength
coach Chris Seroka and assis-tant director of sports medicine E.J. Hairston. Edwards worked out twice as much as other UNT players and received a stricter diet.
“It was just extended work-outs and doing more than everybody else,” Edwards said. “Leg squats, working with ankle weights – I had to come in every day. I had to stay after every-body left, too. Every day.”
Hairston said constant exer-cise was a better option than allowing Edwards to rest his knee.
“I knew that he had to keep working to make it better and
I knew that sitting him out wasn’t going to make it any better because other places had already tried that,” Hairston said. “After seeing him perform this year as opposed to how he performed last year, I’m defi-nitely confident it worked.”
Jones said the team had initially expected Edwards to have surgery after trans-ferring to UNT, but it never happened.
“The regimen he’s been going through has been helpful and it’s worked out,” Jones said. “His willingness to work has allowed him to be as healthy as he’s been in a long time.”

UNT hopes to bring NCAA baseball team to Denton IAN JACOBYViews Editor
Situated in a hot bed of talent and in a conference that produced two of the past five World Series MVPs, UNT could be taking a swing at adding an NCAA baseball team.
Members of t he Mea n Green athletic department have discussed bringing a Division I baseball program to UNT in recent months, but acknowledge that there are several steps needed to make it a reality.
“It’s a huge emphasis for t he at hlet ic department,” said senior associate athletic director Eric Capper. “We’ve discussed it at great length … it seems to make sense in so many ways.”
W h a t ’s pr e v e nt i n g a Division I baseball team at UNT
In preliminary talks, Capper and other administrators have identified multiple parts to the process of adding a team.
“There are lots of hurdles and administration obstacles, including things like satis-fying Title IX and building facilities,” Capper said.
A federal law enacted in 1972, Tit le I X g ua ra ntees gender equality in collegiate athletics. If UNT were to add a baseball team, steps to qualify would include creating more spots for female athletes to participate in by expanding tea ms or adding a not her women’s sport to the athletic program.
Beyond Tit le I X is t he issue of creating faci l it ies for a baseball team, some-thing that Capper said would require student and commu-nity support. In UNT’s last effort to bring a new stadium to Denton, the student body voted to fund the building of Apogee Stadium through an increase in athletic fees.
“I wouldn’t mind if we had a team,” general studies junior Ariel Vega said. “But where would we get the funds? If it means an increase in tuition, then I’m not so sure.”
Capper said student support would be necessary to bring the program to UNT.
“We’d l i ke to bu i ld a n on-campus facility, perhaps adjacent to t he sof tba l l fields,” Capper said. “It’s defi-nitely something we want the
Denton community to be on board with.”
Where baseball at UNT stands today
Students wishing to play baseball at UNT currently have one option – competing with the student-run club baseball team.
The club team – which plays in the National Club Baseball Association’s Gulf Coast North Conference – has seen success in club play in recent years, defeating other club teams like SMU, Baylor, UTSA and Nebraska.
“There’s severa l players on the club team that would love to play at a higher level,”
finance junior Scott Donald said. “Not ever yone’s here for fun. Some guys played in junior college and would love to play on a university team.”
Donald, the team’s catcher, sa id he bel ieves t here’s enough interest at UNT for a baseball team to thrive.
“I t hin k t here’s a huge interest from the students,” Dona ld sa id. “Especia l ly a f ter t he Ra ngers, ever y-one’s thinking baseball these days.”
Everyone may be thinking baseba l l, but that doesn’t keep talented players inside of Dallas.
Donald believes UNT could
fill a void in the Dallas-Fort Worth baseball landscape.
“The biggest problem is that the only competit ive programs in DFW are SMU or TCU,” Donald said. “Those are both expensive and diffi-cult to get into. UNT would offer a really great option for star athletes that would otherwise leave the city.”
College recruiting 101A s h e a d of b a s e b a l l
recruiting for TCU for the past two years, Tony Vitello knows all about Dallas baseball and its wealth of players.
“Recruiting in Dallas is a grind,” Vitello said. “There are just so many good players and great high school programs. It’s a blessing because there’s so much talent to draw from, but it’s a lot to cover. You don’t want to miss anyone, and you don’t want to settle, so it ma kes for a lengthy project.”
As a recruiting coordinator for Mizzou and now TCU, Vitel lo’s recruiting classes were routinely ranked in the top 25 in the nation. Vitello said teams f ind t he most success building talent by
creating an identity through recruiting.
“You have to recruit to who you are,” Vitello said. “Everyone wants an Albert P ujol s , a s t he y shou ld, because a player like that fits with any program. But there are only so many of those players in the world, so it’s about building patiently and keeping a clear idea of what kind of baseball you want your team to play. If you can’t recruit the big hitters, then build a small, fast team.”
S t a r t i n g o u t , V i t e l l o explained it’s much tougher to c reate qua l it y tea m s because newer teams have a weaker recruit ing inf lu-ence than more-established programs. Connections are the most important part of the process, he said.
“You have to build rela-tionships,” Vitello said. “If UNT got a program, it would be sma l l for a few yea rs and there are just too many good players in the area to rely completely on yourself. High school coaches a nd private trainers are real ly helpful in building successful programs.”
“It’s a huge emphasis for the athletic department. We’ve discussed
it at great length … it seems to make sense in so many ways.”

Which candidate do you believe will win
the Republican nomination?
“I haven’t paid much attention to the debates or anything, but definitely not Rick Perry ... So I guess Ron Paul because he’s the closest to libertarian, and I’m a
libertarian.”
“Yeah, I don’t like any of them; honestly, they’re all jackasses. I’m not a Republican and I don’t like
any of them.”
“I’m extremely ignorant of even the running. I’m not
even familiar with the people running. I’m probably just going
to wait until they narrow it down on each side and make a
decision then.”
A new plan proposed by the Board of Regents early this month would change UNT’s employment status for all current and future staff members to at-will, allowing employees to be fired at any time, for any reason within the law, eliminating any due process involved with firing them.
At a meeting Tuesday to discuss the potential change, employees’ tempers flared. As they spoke to the board, it became increasingly more obvious: At-will employment status has no place at UNT.
One man wanted to know what would keep him from being fired a year before his retirement to avoid paying his pension and bringing in a less-ex-pensive replacement. Another man called the plan idiotic and asked how the school planned to retain quality
faculty with policies like this.With the original email notifying
staff of the potential change, Chancellor Lee Jackson included a schedule for meetings in which employees could comment on the possibility of the at-will proposal. If the chancellor – who was conspicuously absent from all meetings up to this point – truly is taking into consideration the opin-ions of the employees, then at-will status will remain nothing more than a bad idea.
There’s been no justification for the policy, leading us to believe the only possible implications of at-will status will be negative for UNT staff.
The administration has offered little reasoning for the decision, only stating that it’s been thrown around for the past year. This prompted an even more
reasonable question: “Then why didn’t we know about this a year ago?”
The Employment and Policy Review Committee originally suggested the change about a year ago, apparently hoping to cut down on red tape. Usually such actions are taken to streamline business, manufacture profit or avoid accountability corporations need to make it easier to fire without ramifi-cation. UNT employees worry they could be the victims of similar corpo-rate thinking.
UNT’s current policy is a bureau-cratic process with things like expla-nation and appeals. The administra-tion claims there will be an appeals process if the new policy is introduced, but that would be contradictory to the very nature of at-will employment. It’s fair to be skeptical of both the fairness
and effectiveness of whatever appeals process exists within an at-will envi-ronment.
Furthermore, this sends the wrong message to students, employees and outsiders about what the University of North Texas represents.
Should we be compromising the trust of people who work tirelessly every day to make sure 37,000 students receive a quality education? We should not be redefining ourselves with some corporate model so as to streamline our productivity.
The primary focus needs to be creating a positive and welcoming environment for the UNT family. That kind of setting is only possible if morale is high and employees trust their employer, things rendered impossible by at-will employment.
By now, we have all heard what is going on at Pennsylvania State University.
We have also seen a number of sad events occur at the local level. The head basketball coach of Flower Mound High School was recent ly removed for not reporting a serious hazing inci-dent on his team.
This is not about Penn State. It is not about Joe Paterno. It is not about sports, college football or legal obligations.
It is about trust.I am a coach. For the past few
summers, I have coached a youth track tea m in Lew isv i l le. The athletes I coach are shining exam-ples of the best of our society: dedicated, intelligent and strong. Often, I see people who hold kids to a higher standard than they themselves aspire to achieve.
I’m not going to bother with any condemnations here. I will take issue, however, with what some people seem to think is the major subject in this controversy: Where will athletics go from here?
These events will change every-thing. They will cast even more suspicion on the people who take care of our chi ldren, t he vast majority of whom would never think of committing such atro-cious acts, or of not reporting
them to the police. W hat happened may have
cracked open the door to stop-ping this kind of crime, but it has also allowed the stench from the other room to permeate the air on our side.
As coaches, we should learn how to deal with certain events from an ethical perspective rather than just a legal one.
Furthermore, let’s practice the sa me principles we teach our kids: that the bare minimum – in academics, in athletics, in ethics – will not be acceptable.
We cannot just be coaches, or teachers, or parents – we must be human beings as well.

Rick Perry’s senior moment in Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate was cringe inducing. But it was two of the other candidates on stage that should be hanging their heads in shame.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich both, incredibly, called for abolishing the federal student loan program, saying it was “an absurdity” that is “dramati-cally failing.”
Perry seemed to imply he agreed. None of them, surely, is among the tens of millions of low and middle-income students – 9 million in the last academic year alone – who relied on a federally backed student loan to pay for college. Eliminating the loans and subjecting students to the vagaries of the private market would put college out of reach for many while increasing indebted-ness for others.
Either way, the nation’s ability to develop an educated workforce for the coming decades – an already imperiled but crucial national priority – will be further damaged.
The private market had been wasteful and in some cases predatory, charging high rates and fees and misleading consumers, according to a 2008 study by the National Consumer Law Center. Even worse, the private market nearly froze during the economic collapse.
Thankfully, the government was making the majority of student loans
at the time. But imagine if Paul and Gingrich’s ideologically pure vision were reality, and there were no federal loans. Even as demand surged for higher education, students would have no way to pay for it. Or rather, poor and middle-class students wouldn’t.
The wealthy, as ever, would be fine. That’s why federal loan subsidies – along with Pell Grants, which conser-vatives also attack – are so important. California alone expects a shortfall of 1 million college graduates to fill jobs by 2025.
There’s no way to close that gap if only the rich can afford an educa-tion.
Student loan debt approaches $1 tril-lion nationwide. It’s a serious problem. But abolishing federal loans is no answer, any more than eliminating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would end the foreclosure crisis.
An educated workforce is precisely what government should be investing in for the long-term. It’s no different from other kinds of infrastructure that help everyone prosper. Leaving this to the private market would be devastating to poor and middle-class students, to busi-nesses and to our future prosperity.
Come to think of it, only banks would benefit from Paul and Gingrich’s idea.

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
