The Student Government Association indefinitely post-poned a bill to eliminate the group’s freshman intern program and passed a bill to allow transfer students to run for Homecoming Court.

Honors College senator Matt Florez, who authored the bill, presented it to the group during Wednesday’s meeting. The SGA motioned for the bill to be referred to the internal committee, where it was postponed indefinitely.

Unless a senator motions for the bill to be released from the committee and voted on, the bill cannot be discussed until next semester, said College of Business senator David Schuler.

Man arrested in DART bus shootingREBECCA RYANStaff Writer

Authorities in Dallas have arrested a man who they believe shot a passenger on a DART bus Tuesday morning.

Police sa id a ma n was exiting the bus at a stop on the corner of Bonnie View Road and Ledbetter Drive at about 10 a.m., when he pulled a gun and shot an 18-year-old male passenger in the leg

before f leeing the scene. The victim, who was shot

in his right thigh, was taken to Baylor University Medical Center and is in stable condi-tion. Police said he is not coop-erating with authorities.

Witnesses described the shooter as a 5-foot-7-inch, 145-pound black male wearing a white shirt, tan shorts and a black fur-lined coat.

Shortly after 1 p.m., Dallas

police arrested a man fitting the shooter’s description who was wanted for violating his probat ion, Da l la s Pol ice spoke sma n Ke v i n Ja n se said.

DART public information off icer Morgan Lyons said DART won’t likely take any further safety precautions because officials believe this was an isolated incident.

“On an as-needed basis,

we can send plainclothes or uniformed officers on buses,” Lyons said. “Uniformed offi-cers act as a visual deter-rent. If we’ve seen problems on a particular route, we can have squad cars follow the bus to make sure everything is safe.”

Lyons also said a new f leet of DART buses, expected to roll out in 2013, will include security cameras.

Barry Catlett of the radio, television and � lm faculty requires his students to become actively involved in social media through means such as Twitter. Catlett believes interaction with Twitter helps deliver information in instances where some devices, such as cameras, may not go.

MediaContinued from Page 1

Other professors are latching onto this trend also.

Jonathan Gratch of the learning technologies faculty teaches a class based on learning through social networking.

“Students who are working in groups have to learn to interact with group members, with poten-tial clients, and they have to try to determine what their fictional client is wanting from them, using a medium such as Facebook,” Gratch said. “They can use pretty much anything they can get their hands on, on the Web.”

Gratch said if students are using social media they have to collaborate with people who are not actually present, as the case may be in the real world.

Although the concept of indi-vidual learning hasn’t gone away, many cannot help but follow new trends because of the widespread availability of social media.

“I think it would be great for more classes to incorporate virtual learning tools,” said Jared Moore, a general studies senior. “I think people are becoming more visual in the way they learn things and it would definitely make learning easier.”

Wednesday’s Arts & Life story “New student groups offer culture to campus” incorrectly identified UNT-International as the International Studies Center. There is no International Studies Center at UNT.

In a front-page photo on Tuesday’s edition of the North Texas Daily, senior forward Kelsey Perlman of the UNT soccer team was misidentified as a sophomore. We regret and apologize for the errors.

The company was told it would need a SUP if it wanted to ex pa nd a nd add more wells.

The Planning and Zoning Commission was scheduled to address t he contested property and drilling wells during a meet ing at 5 :30 p.m. Wednesday. However, commission members voted u na n i mou sly before t he meeting to table the issue until Dec. 7.

Commissioner Jay Thomas assured those who attended the meeting that the commis-sion did not table the issue in an effort to hide anything.

“We’re not trying to shut this dow n or do any thing underhanded,” Thomas said. “We are just announcing [the Bonnie Brae wells] will be heard in its entirety on that date.”

Editor’s note:The Daily was not able to get

a response from UNT officials by deadline on Wednesday. We will follow up on the story as it progresses.

UNT student determined to improve campus

Devin Axtman, a political science senior and director of student affairs for the Student Government Association, ad-dresses the SGA during its meeting in Terrell Hall Wednesday night. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Axtman often uses a wheelchair to get around and his work at the SGA aims to help those with disabilities.

Holly Harvey Staff Writer

Whether it’s a classroom debate or a proposal to the student government, political science senior Devin Axtman is not afraid to work for what he believes in.

“I’m not the kind of person that just sits back and watches t h i ngs happen,” A x t ma n said.

A x t ma n is t he director of student affairs for UNT student government, an advo-cate of new student forums and an advocate for disability accommodations.

Part of his role in SGA is to promote the pit crew, or student sect ion at school athletic events, and he said his goal is to see the section filled for each home game. A xtman, who has cere-bra l pa lsy and frequent ly u se s a w he elcha i r, a l so assists university officials in improving disability acco-modation on campus.

He has a “great attitude” and is a hard worker, said Candace Keen, director of st udent i nvolvement for SGA.

“He brings a lot of passion for sports, and having passion is a lot dif ferent than just being a fan,” she said.

A xtman got his start in SGA as part of the freshman intern program and began to point out a reas where students w it h disabi l it ies might have problems navi-gating the campus.

“Student government is a good way to make change,” Axtman said. “And it’s a good way to get involved in the community,”

One of his major concerns

i s s i d e w a l k s . A x t m a n persuaded administrators to navigate around Wooten Hall in wheelchairs to illus-trate how the rough, uneven sidewalks can shred wheel-chair tires.

He a lso pointed out to t he Of f ic e of Di s abi l it y Accommodation potentially dangerous curb cuts or ramps into the sidewalks around campus.

A x t ma n has a sense of humor about his condition. One of his favorite T-shirts

sports a picture of a wheel-chair and is emblazoned: “I’m only in it for the parking.”

Ron Venable, Of f ice of Disability Accommodation director, said A xtman has excellent people skills and is a good communicator.

“He wants to work within the system. He doesn’t get upset and go running to the president’s off ice if some-thing isn’t working,” Venable said.

Axtman is also part of an adv isor y com m it tee t hat checks out campus facilities and complaints over struc-tures and roads that aren’t accommodating.

He is a member of Delta Alpha Pi, an honor society for students with disabili-ties that recognizes themfor their abilities and provides c on ne c t ion s w it h ot her students. He is considering going into disability advo-cacy after graduation.

A x t m a n’s r e a s o n f o r wanting to improve condi-tions for others with disabil-ities is because of what he’s been given.

“So ma ny people have helped me out that I want to give back to others,” he said, recalling those in the Office of Disability Accommodation w h o h a d w o r k e d w i t h him on correct ing poten-tia l ly dangerous issues on campus.

The political science senior laughingly described himself as “kind of a nerd” and said one of his favorite classes is Western European politics. His mother Sharon Axtman, who lives in Plano, credits his don’t-give-up attitude for his academic success.

“Devin is very driven when it comes to school because, unlike his cerebral palsy, it’s something he can control and excel at,” she said.

Even though he works 20 hours a week, and sometimes three to five events a week for SGA, he still finds time to lead class discussions and keep up with numerous polit-ical debates and issues.

Axtman said he fights for what he believes in, whether it is debating a topic in class or yel l ing fanatica l ly at a basketball game.

“I really like to question tradition, and I’m a big fighter for independence,” he said.

“So many people have helped me out that I want to give back.”

Saved seeds preserve agricultural diversity

James Veteto brought the Southern Seed Legacy project to UNT in spring 2010.

Despite their size, soybean seeds are a staple of the world economy. They are one of many plant varieties whose genetic makeup has changed over the years. The task of the Southern Seed Legacy project is to preserve the genetic history of these seeds and connect with local collectors and seed banks.

Pablo arauzStaff Writer

Seeds are a source of life and nutrition that humanity needs to sustain itself as a whole.

The Southern Seed Legacy is a project run by the environmental anthropology department at UNT that is meant to preserve the agricultural heritage of the southern United States.

James Veteto of the environ-mental anthropology faculty heads the project, which serves a crucial role in protecting agri-cultural diversity, he said.

“The importance is that if you lose the diversity in agri-culture, you could have things like the Irish potato famine,” Veteto said. “The major argu-ment is ‘don’t put all your eggs

in one basket; diversify.’”The seed bank, housed in the

Life Sciences Building, holds about 800 varieties of seeds.

Veteto said he brought the project over to UNT from the University of Georgia, where it started in 1996. For him, the importance of preserving seeds runs deep in the overall welfare of society.

Veteto also said that despite big industry farming, the number of small farms is actu-ally increasing in recent years as more people have taken to farming small, private plots of land to grow their food. This also goes along with an increase in school-run farms.

“People are becoming increas-ingly aware of the benefits of local fresh foods, environmental bene-fits and just the deliciousness of growing something in your back-yard as opposed to eating some-thing that’s been shipped 1,500 miles from California and has just sat on a shelf for weeks on end,” he said.

Steve Carlson, an environ-mental anthropology graduate student and coordinator for the project, said organizing and recruiting members has recently been the project’s main focus.

“It just came to UNT only about a year ago, so we’re just starting out and trying to establish its roots,” he said.

Carlson also runs Seed Link, the project’s newsletter that is distrib-uted for the greater community to learn about the importance of preserving agriculture.

Last semester the group partic-ipated in a regional seed swap in Hot Springs, Ark., where it shared part of the collection of seeds with other agricultural organi-zations.

Carlson said the project is working on organizing another seed swap, this time in Denton. He said building up an agricultural community in Denton would help the project grow by recruiting

donations and manpower for the all volunteer-run project.

Anthropology junior Payton Green wrote in an email that preserving agricultural biodi-versity is crucial to prevent the negative effects of big industry farming.

“I think projects like this are very much needed to combat the potentially disastrous effects of our ever-increasing loss of biodi-versity. Sourcing food from our own communities is extremely important, not only for supporting a sustainable local economy, but because of the impacts of large-scale food transportation,” he wrote.

“It just came to UNT only about a year ago, so we’re just starting out and trying to establish its roots.”

On Friday, the shops off the Denton Square will stay open later than usual.

Denton will have its monthly First Friday on the Square and Industrial Street area.

Live music, sculptures, stained glass, appetizers and art will be available until 9 p.m. instead of the regular 6 p.m.

For First Friday, art galleries and businesses stay open longer to give shoppers an opportunity to admire and buy art.

Several communities and countries have their own First Friday or First Thursday each

Monthly event promotes art purchases in Denton

month, which is where the idea came from.

Shannon Drawe, a photogra-

pher and UNT alumnus, said he helped start Denton’s First Friday in in February 2010. He and his

wife, Leslie Kregel, thought it would be great to increase awareness of the communi-ty’s artistic talent and culture, Kregel said.

Drawe contacted sources and created the website first-fridaydenton.com to establish the event.

“First Friday has no boss, no president. I’m just in charge of the website and building it into something because I started it,” Drawe said.

Kregel’s business, Cimarrona, sells hats, scarves and warm clothing recycled from old clothes.

“What we hope is [to gain] a

little more visibility and have the public more aware of art culture in Denton that isn’t always recognized,” Kregel said.

Merchants join with artists to help promote art and busi-nesses. For example, an artist looking for a place to display his or her work could contact a coffee shop owner willing to host the artist, Kregel said.

Heath Robinson, a pharmacy junior, thinks the event will bring attention to the creativity the community has to offer.

“I think it’s a good way to increase the exposure of the arts in Denton,” Robinson said.

Robin Huttash owns A

Creative Art STUDIO, one of the businesses that has been a part of First Friday since it started.

Huttash said her main goal is providing music for the event each month.

On Friday, Alex Riegelman, a local guitarist and blues singer, will play in A Creative Art STUDIO.

Keri Zimlich, a journalism junior, said she thinks the event is a great opportunity to have fun.

“It’s not just one shop, but all the shops getting together to rekindle that love of art,” Zimlich said.

Months of hard work all come down to one night.

Senior dance students will display their original works on Friday for the first time at the New Choreographers Concert. The concert will start at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre in the Radio, Television, Film and Performing Arts Building.

General admission is $5 and tickets can be purchased at the box office, over the phone, at the door and in advance.

Students enrolled in dance professor Shelley Cushman’s senior projects class are required to choreograph or perform in the concert. They also can complete a research study in fieldwork.

“Their work is a culmination to demonstrate the knowledge they have acquired through the course of their study,” Cushman said.

Cushman, the artistic director of the concert, is known for her background in dance. She

earned the 2010 University Dance Educator of the Year from the National Dance Association.

“They have to create a product, which the public is invited to see, and in this process they have to solve all of the problems they are given in order to create this work of art,” she said.

In the class, students learn about dynamics, unity, variety, content, form and theme, Cushman said.

From the 10 choreographed works at the concert, two dance pieces were chosen to represent UNT at the American College Dance Festival, including Amelia Wert’s “The Television is Watching Me Again” and Cassie Farzan Panah’s “Gravity of Deception.”

“I set out with this image of a motel. I was interested in doing something different,” Wert said. “I thought about the idea of why people would want to stay at a motel and wondered what they felt.”

Wert’s modern piece includes

nine dancers accompanied by focused lighting to make it seem as if they are each in their own motel room. Each dancer is isolated from the others and dances with minimalistic move-ment for a strong impact. The themes include love, loss, isola-tion and insomnia, which are overlaid by the glow of a tele-vision.

“It’s a good program. We have some amazing faculty that have really pushed us far,” Wert said.

All 56 dancers were chosen from the dance department by advanced choreography students. Some choreographers also decided to dance. Cushman allowed students to perform if they were up for the challenge.

Rachel Caldwell choreo-graphed “Certain Uncertainty” and is also performing in “Guess Who’s Not Coming to Dinner,” choreog raphed by A nna Womack.

In Caldwell’s choreography, dancers explore the experi-

Seniors to debut their dance works Friday

ence of being blind by wearing blindfolds. In 28 rehearsals, the four dancers adapted to their hearing and touching senses to help them through the modern piece. Caldwell also worked with music student Ryan Pivovar to compose a song of looped cello

harmonies. Caldwell said her piece is about

blindness as an experience, not a handicap.

“I was in my modern class last semester and we would lie on the ground and shut our eyes. I wondered if I could capture a

feeling of dance with touch and sound rather than with sight,” Caldwell said.

The concert will also be held at 8 p.m. Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in the University Theatre. For more information, visit www.danceandtheatre.unt.edu.

Professor � nds dorm life fun the second time around DAISY SILOSStaff Writer

T he i n side of h i stor y professor Nei lesh Bose’s apartment looks l ike most efficiency f lats. It’s outside t he apa r t ment in Honors Ha l l where Bose’s apa r t-ment dif fers f rom t hat of most professors.

Bose has been l iv ing at Honors Hall for two years as part of UNT’s faculty-in-resi-dence program. He is one of five faculty members partic-ipating in the program this year.

“W hat it means to be a professor working at a univer-sit y is about grow ing and lea r n i ng d i f ferent t h i ngs from people,” Bose said. “As a resident, I get to do that all the time, so it’s not like I look at this as a job; go home and forget about it. I can live amongst students exploring different ideas and topics.”

Faculty members receive a one bedroom, two-bathroom apartment that includes a kitchen, a large living room and an of f ice. The apart-ment comes fully furnished and everything is paid for, including a meal plan. Bose said he enjoys eating at the Mean Greens vegan cafeteria

across the street from Honors Hall.

Fac u lt y member s w ho apply for the program are selected to l ive in a resi-dence hall for a school year and can apply for additional years. Bose said UNT tends to select faculty members who are younger and can closely relate to the students.

“ T h e y w a n t e d s o m e -body that likes to work with students and do dif ferent types of programs,” he said. “It wasn’t that I sought out t h is speci f ic ha l l ; I just wa nted to pa rta ke in t he k inds of prog ra ms where students get to meet a nd experience cultura l tradi-tions and have the chance to talk to other scholars in the community.”

Anthony Brooks, a mechan-ical engineering senior, said

he would feel awk ward i f he knew his neighbor was a professor and said there s h ou l d b e a b ou n d a r y between the professors and students.

“School is school; I mean every once in a while you run into your professors around Denton, but I wouldn’t want them to be my neighbor,” Brooks said.

Tanya St. Clair, administra-tive professional for Honors Ha l l, disag reed, a nd sa id having a professor nearby has helped advance her studies.

meetings and programs in the past and said he was very helpful.

“Last year I went to one of his programs and we had tea and a discussion about the Middle East,” she said. “It was a very informative discussion that was an enhancement to my studies in my class.”

Bose said he didn’t know what to expect coming back

to live in a dorm. “I hadn’t lived in a dorm

for so long and the students here today were born when I was in high school,” he said. “It’s interesting to learn the pressures and struggles of a different generation.”

The downside of living in a dorm is living around more than 200 people, Bose said.

“I always have to swipe in

and out of my own home; it’s a little strange getting used to that,” he said. “It’s not the best situation, but in the grand scheme of things it’s not that bad of a compromise when you get to interact with students outside of being a professor or adviser.”

nament as the top dog.All it had to do was beat

Denver.At home.On Senior Night.To top it off, Denver had

beaten UNT seven straight times, dating back five years. No big deal, apparently.

The outcome was another sign that this could be UNT’s year. The only goal of the game came on a sophomore defender Kelsey Hodges free kick from beyond midfield that bounced over the goalie’s head and into the goal five minutes into the game. UNT’s defense took care of the rest, and the team entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed.

In Wednesday’s tournament opener against the eighth-seeded Troy Trojans, the Mean Green ground out a 2-0 victory that oozed all the characteris-tics of the team’s season.

Junior forward Michelle Young, who led the team in goals this season, scored 25 minutes into the game to give the team an early 1-0 lead. During the regular season, UNT was 13-1-1 when it scored

the first goal of the game.The Mean Green proceeded

to protect its lead for a little more than an hour before senior forward Nikki Crocco stuck the final dagger in to earn a 2-0 win.

Today, the Mean Green will face Western Kentucky, whom UNT beat 2-1 in the first weekend of conference play.

I expect more of the same from today’s game and the possible championship game on Saturday: an early UNT lead followed by great defense to preserve a close victory.

The stars have aligned for this team, and there’s no reason to expect any changes now.

The Mean Green football team is at a critical juncture in its season. After losing 37-14 to Arkansas State on Saturday, UNT must win each of its final three contests to become bowl-game eligible for the eighth time in school history. When was the last time the Mean Green was selected to play in a bowl game?

Answer: The last time UNT appeared in a bowl game was in 2004, when it fell 31-10 to Southern Mississippi in the New Orleans Bowl.

After playing its first three games on the road, the UNT tennis team will return to Denton for the final tournament of the fall season this weekend.

The Mean Green will play its last contest until January when it hosts Akron, UTEP and Northwestern State at the Game On North Texas Classic.

“The team had an amazing run this fall until the last meet at regionals,” head coach Sujay Lama said. “I really do think that we’re going to see a very focused, hungry team ready to finish on a high note.”

The tournament will feature a dual-meet format with the teams each competing in three separate head-to-head matches.

“It’s just one school against another school. Although it’s flighted, it’s going to feel like we are playing together as a team,” Lama said. “I’m confident that the players will embrace that.”

UNT has thrived in its early fall schedule, going 42-25 in singles play and 24-7 record in doubles play.

A big part of the Mean Green’s success has come from its four newest additions – freshmen Kseniya Bardadush and Franziska Sprinkmeyer and junior transfers Ilona Serchenko and Valentina Starkova.

The newcomers have played a part in four of the five flight championships UNT has earned this fall.

Bardadush has led the way in singles play, sporting a team-best 8-2 record.

“The coaches work with every player individually, which makes for a great opportunity to improve,” Starkova said. “Everybody has gotten better thanks to the training and condi-

With each passing game, it’s becoming more and more clear that this season’s UNT soccer team is primed to succeed.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself since the team still needs two more victories before winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, but things have been falling in place for the Mean Green for a couple of weeks now.

The f irst bit of fortune came courtesy of Florida International, which handed UNT its first conference loss of the season two weeks before the Mean Green’s home finale.

Two days after that loss, FIU also handed Denver its first conference loss of the season. That kept the Mean Green in the running to claim the regular season conference title and the tournament’s top seed.

UNT then tied with Arkansas State, but still had the chance to enter the conference tour-

BOBBY LEWISSenior Staff Writer

For the 11th time in the program’s 17-year history, the UNT soccer team advanced to the semifinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament on Wednesday.

The Mean Green (14-4-2) used a late goal to clinch a 2-0 win over Troy (9-11-1), propel-ling it to a match against the No. 4 seed Western Kentucky today.

“We k new Troy’s not a normal eight seed,” UNT head coach John Hedlund said. “They play good possession ball, and we knew they were going to throw everything they had at us. So for us, it was important to get that first goal and then extend the lead in the second half.”

scored her eighth goal of the season in the 87th minute of the game to double the Mean Green’s lead and end Troy’s season.

Freshman goa lie Jack ie Kerestine notched her eighth shutout of the season and lowered her goals against average to .75, both of which are the second-best in any sea son for a UN T goa l-keeper.

“We wa nted a shutout against this team,” Hedlund said. “We didn’t want any type of momentum shift if they scored, and she [Kerestine]

trek toward a Sun Belt Title in the tournament’s semi-final round against WKU, who handed t he Mean Green its first ever first-round exit last season.

“T here’s no revenge factor,” Hed lu nd sa id. “They’ve got an outstanding senior class, and we have a lot of respect for them, and they have a lot of respect for us. We’re just excited about the opportunity.”

The Mean Green volleyball is down big with the match on the line in the final set. Players have started to lose hope, and the team can feel the game slip-ping away.

Head coach Ken Murczek calls timeout to help UNT regroup, and No. 7 goes to work.

Rallying her teammates, senior middle blocker Melanie Boykins doesn’t scream or quote a famous line from a well-known sports movie. Instead, she embraces her role as UNT’s quiet motivator to assure the team that it’s not over.

“She keeps the atmosphere relaxed,” Murczek said. “Calm, cool and collected is her nature, but when you get that ball up there, she is tough to stop.”

A Fort Worth native, Boykins has played volleyball since eighth grade but excelled in multiple sports growing up.

“To be honest, I only started playing volleyball so I wouldn’t have to be in off-season basket-ball the whole time,” she said. “After a while, though, I started to realize how much I enjoyed [volleyball], so I got better and stuck with it.”

Besides basketba l l and volleyball, the 6-foot-1-inch senior was also a multiple regional qualifier in track and field at North Crowley High School in the 4x200 and 4x400 relays, setting a school record with her team as a sopho-more and competing in the USA Track and Field Junior Olympics.

A f ter high school, she decided to attend the alma mater of Dallas Cowboys quar-terback Tony Romo – Eastern Illinois.

W hile at EIU, Boyk ins

IRVING (AP) — There will be plenty of chances for the Dallas Cowboys to recover in the NFC East.

Forget about how bad that last game was and their losing record.

The Cowboys (3-4) are just now reaching the midpoint of their schedule at home against Seattle. They are in a three-way scrum for second place in the NFC East with Washington and Philadelphia, the team that just beat them 34-7.

Dallas still has a game left with each, and plays the divi-sion-leading New York Giants (5-2) twice in the final month of the regular season.

“If we do what we have to do, everything will take care of itself,” safety Abram Elam said Wednesday. “We’re only as good as our next game. If we don’t handle our business this Sunday against Seattle, it puts us even further in the hole. All we can do is control what we have in front of us.”

That begins Sunday against the Seahawks (2-5), the first of five games Dallas has before facing the Giants for the first time at home Dec. 11.

In that five-game span, Dallas plays AFC East co-leader Buffalo (5-2) and four teams with a combined record of 6-22.

The Cowboys play the Bills at home before going to Washington, which lost 18-16 in Dallas back in September. Their Thanksgiving Day game at home is against Miami (0-7) before a trip to Arizona (1-6).

“We don’t look ahead too much, we certainly feel like we just have to control our own business,” coach Jason Garrett said. “Again, we live in the day of practicing well on Wednesday, and then hopefully coming back and practicing well on Thursday. Certainly our entire focus is doing our best to get ourselves ready to play Seattle.”

Having known each other for almost five years, Barr and Boykins have developed a close relationship as teammates and friends.

After college, the marketing major said she isn’t sure about her future if she does not continue volleyball.

For now, Boykins said she just wants to enjoy her senior

year and go out with a memo-rable season on the court.

Senior middle blocker Melanie Boykins has embraced her role as a leader for the Mean Green volleyball team, leading the team with a .248 blocking percentage. Boykins transfered to UNT from Eastern Illinois before her junior season.

Lee, the Cowboys’ leading tackler with 73, didn’t practice Wednesday because of a left wrist injured Sunday night. Garrett described Lee as day to day and refused to rule the linebacker out of Sunday’s game.

“We had some evaluations Monday that we feel really good about, and it got us to the point to say we do not have to do surgery Monday afternoon. We’re going to evaluate him day to day, week by week, and just see how that thing responds,” Garrett said. “Knowing Sean Lee, he’s probably a fairly quick healer ... Trust me, he’s chomping at the bit.”

The Cowboys haven’t been able to get any kind of consistency going this season.

Since blowing a lead in the fourth quarter to lose the season opener at the New York Jets, they have won consecutive games, lost consecutive games, then followed a 34-7 victory over St. Louis with

the 34-7 loss at Philadelphia.But the season is far from a lost

cause because of the mess that is the NFC East.

“Right now everybody’s mindset is to make it to the playoffs,” defensive end Marcus Spears said. “We’re still in posi-tion to do everything that we wanted to at the beginning of the season, and we just have to do something about it. We can’t talk about it, we have to do some-thing about it.”

The Cowboys have to wait until Christmas Eve for a rematch against Philadelphia, at Cowboys Stadium. They will finish the season on New Year’s Day at the Giants.

“Honestly, I think the worst thing you can do is look ahead because you can’t do anything about that,” Coleman said. “If you don’t handle your business week by week then it don’t matter what happens in the future.”

“We have been playing together since we were 16,” Barr said. “We played club volley-ball together too, and when she decided to transfer I defi-

nitely pushed for her to come [to North Texas].”

Boykins said she liked UNT’s size and its closeness to family in Fort Worth.

As for Boykins’ leadership qualities, Barr said the trans-fer’s poise has helped her become a strong presence on the team.

“She doesn’t just speak to hear herself talk,” Barr said. “She has reasoning and

“She keeps the atmosphere relaxed. Calm, cool and collected is her nature.”

How do you feel about a gas-drilling company drilling next to Apogee

Stadium?

“Drilling next to the stadium? I probably wouldn’t like it

that much. It would probably be loud, add traffic and I just wouldn’t agree with it. I feel it would stink. It would be

harmful to the environment here at the university as well as

our own health.”

“I wouldn’t care at all. It doesn’t affect me very much. If they pay

for it, then yeah, they can drill there.”

“Not good. I feel like there would be health-related issues

with that, just considering emissions from the drilling and everything. Also, it’s just a safety hazard being so close to a public

place where a lot of people go to on a weekly basis. It just

seems like a dangerous situation to have that too close to our

stadium.”

The Occupy movement w il l continue to stay true to its message of convoluted, misdirected anger this Saturday when it takes its protest of corporate greed – and other stuff – to Denton’s Square.

To this point, Occupy Denton has “occupied” various patches of the UNT campus with the intent of informing the public about the wrongs of a corporatized society.

Operating in solidarity with the occupations taking place on Wall Street, downtown Dallas and numerous other cities, Occupy Denton is relaying the same message: “We’re here, we’re angry, but we’re

not sure why we’re here or why we’re angry.”

Critics have noted that the Occupy movement, which began with a fairly unified message of opposition to the corporate powers-that-be subjugating the working class, has morphed into a pedestal on which any liberal concern about today’s world can be voiced.

The event taking place this weekend is the perfect example of this group’s convoluted stance.

The flier for the event invites indi-viduals to “join us on the Square to speak out against corporate greed and the vast wealth inequality in our society.” It however seems misguided

that they would choose a landscape marked by Denton’s historic court-house and multiple locally owned businesses to voice their concerns about Corporate America taking over.

The people hearing the protest on Saturday will be employees of places like Beth Marie’s, a family-owned ice cream shop, Jupiter House, a locally owned coffee hangout for the college crowd, and several privately owned bars and restaurants.

The Denton community has a long history of supporting local business and continues to foster a sense of Main Street, small-town togetherness

– exactly the opposite of corporatized America. So whom exactly are they trying to convince?

Protesting should be viewed as every American’s political capital. We protest when we feel that we’ve been wronged. It’s a shocking action by necessity.

One should be compelled to stop and listen out of curiosity and then be moved into action by the gravity of the protest.

The backdrop of Wall Street provided that gravitas for the orig-inal Occupy protests. Denton’s court-house Square does not, and may even undermine the very act.

The bleachers rumble and shake as fans maneuver in their seats. Strangers sit shoulder to shoulder while a long row of people presses against the fence that surrounds the field, occasionally glancing back at the stands in hopes of snagging an empty spot as fans trickle in and out of the complex.

This is the picture of almost every UNT soccer home game: the bleachers packed, some fans standing and the team winning.

The UNT soccer team has never had a losing season. The team claimed the 2011 Sun Belt Conference regular season title after beating Denver on Friday. Three players, Nikki Crocco, Michelle Young, and Kelsey Hodges, have been named Sun Belt Conference Soccer Player of the Week this season. A fourth, Jackie Kerestine, was named Dallas Soccer News player of the week. The team is ranked 13th in the nation and leads the SBC for goals scored.

Yet still, little kids kick around a soccer ball on the small patch of grass at the end of the bleachers and interrupt play three or four times a game. A miss-kicked shot or a bad pass rolls onto the UNT field, under the “fence” made of pieced together PVC pipes and orange plastic netting zip-tied around the top. The bath-room stalls in the trailer outside of the complex are a tighter squeeze than the confined space of a cardboard box. Every time I use the bathroom my knees cry a little.

With years of success and two Sun Belt Conference championship titles under their belt, the women deserve an upgrade.

UNT has adhered to and exceeded the standards set by Title IX, the “1972 law requiring opportunities for female athletes in proportion to male athletes in federally assisted educa-tion programs.” The 2007 President’s Report said the school received an A on the Gender Equity Scorecard, a study that grades universities on their commitment to women’s sports. UNT was one of only 11 in the country and the only school in the south to receive an A on the scorecard.

The school should continue to surpass standards set by Title IX by making the necessary improvements to the women’s soccer facility.

Replace the PVC pipes with a real fence. Build a new bathroom facility with roomier toilet space and add seating before attendance drops.

If we can accommodate up to 31,000 fans at our new football stadium, then the hundreds of faithful fans who flock to each soccer game should be able to find a seat.

For more than 40 years, the state of Texas has been committed to helping students attend college by offering low, fixed-interest student loans. The program, known today as the College Access Loan, currently boasts one of the lowest interest rates in the nation at 5.25 percent.

Unlike many other types of loans available to students, the state is able to keep interest rates purposefully low because the program answers to tuition payers, not profit margins. Throughout its long history, the program has also never relied on taxpayers to repay bond obligations or administer the program. The fiscally sound management princi-ples employed by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) have ensured that the benefits of low-interest and low-cost loans are passed directly to student borrowers. It is for these reasons that Texas voters have reauthorized the program in six elections since 1965.

On Nov. 8, voters will once again be asked to approve bonding authority to support this program. But this election marks a critical juncture for the future of the program and access to funding to help students pay for college.

If passed, Proposition 3 will signifi-cantly extend the reach of the program to serve more students than ever before. It will also provide long-term sustainability and predictability so the THECB can effectively respond to current and future demand for low-interest loans. At a time when finan-cial aid programs and family budgets alike are more strained than ever, this program has the potential to offer a

low-cost alternative for students. For example, the THECB estimated last spring that a student with a $20,000 CAL loan would save $7,500 in interest payments over 20 years compared to the federal Parent Plus loan.

As students, we understand the challenges of paying for college. For many of us, there are not enough affordable resources to cover the college cost gap. While the CAL program alone cannot solve this problem, it can make a real differ-ence.

The outcome of Proposition 3 affects Texas students more than any other constituency. It is for this reason it is critical that Texas college students inform themselves about the amend-ment and register votes on Nov. 8. This is an opportunity for students to have a direct impact on the future of one of the longest-running financial aid programs in Texas history.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing num-bers 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 fol-low. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must include 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
