T he ca ses of t wo UN T students arrested for counter-feiting are expected to reach a Denton County grand jury in the next few weeks to deter-mine if state charges will be filed.

Brent Bakewell and Keeley Dunnam were arrested Nov. 7 for making and using fake $20 bills while both resided at Maple Hall. Both are no longer students at the university.

If the grand jur y indicts Bakewell and Dunnam, the case will go to trial, in which case they will face state forgery charges and could face up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000, according to Texas Penal Code’s judgment on third-degree felonies.

The police have confirmed the students were making the fake notes in the residence hall, said Ryan Grelle, public information off icer for the Denton Police Department.

“We know how the bills were being made,” Grelle said. “But due to not wanting to invite other people to try this, we really don’t want to release that information.”

T h e D e n t o n P o l i c e Department’s Animal Services Division announced Thursday a confirmed case of rabies from a kitten.

Tests confirmed the case Wednesday. The kitten came from the 1900 block of Azalea Street, which is about 2 miles south of Apogee Stadium.

“The owners of the kitten turned it in because t hey t hou g ht s ome t h i n g w a s w rong w it h it,” sa id Ryan Grel le, public information officer for the Denton Police Department. “Later, it tested positive for rabies.”

Grel le sa id t he a n i ma l could have potentially been in contact with other animals in the area.

“The k itten was able to go outside and roam a little. It could have gotten rabies from a feral cat, or a skunk or raccoon,” Grelle said. “If you think your pet has rabies, take it to the vet and let them look at it. Make sure rabies shots

With a vote on renovations for a new University Union just around the corner, certain student resources have begun relocating from the Union to Sage Hall.

Sage sits near the center of campus and will house several student-focused programs in one central location.

“There is a master plan for that bui lding,” said Helen Bailey, director of facilities management and construc-tion. “It is separate from the Union Master Plan, but it is related because once we get t he bui lding completed it will be the hub for student services and student activi-

ties.” T h e bu i l d i n g i s on l y

arrests came after a conve-n i e n c e s t o r e e m p l o y e e reported a suspect attempting to use a fake $20 bill. Police searched Ba kewell’s dorm room to discover more forged bills.

Both cases could reach a

grand jury in the next couple of weeks, said Jamie Beck, first assistant district attorney for the Denton County Criminal District Attorney’s office.

“Neither case has reached a grand jury yet, but they are both ready and waiting to go,”

Beck said.Grand jur y hearings for

Faculty and students will get their first look at UNT’s five-year strategic plan and new logo at “Four Bold Goals of UNT, One Great University” at 4 p.m. Monday in the Murchison Performing Arts Center.

During the unveiling event, the university will announce four points that will lay the founda-tion for goals it hopes to achieve in the next five years.

UNT President V. Lane Rawlins first presented the plan to the Board of Regents in November.

“This event is a way of drama-tizing these goals, putting them in place and ingraining them in the institution,” Rawlins said.

Some of the goals will come as no surprise to students – they

are plans the u n i v e r s i t y h a s b e e n committed to for some time, according to Rawlins.

He s a id the first goal is to provide students a high-quality educa-tion.

“Most institutions will say that’s an obligation they have to students,” Rawlins said. “We want to make it more than an obligation. We want to make it part of our mission.”

Rawlins said UNT also plans on adding more research-producing faculty to provide quality instruction to students.

“That’s what a university

is about,” Rawlins said. “It’s a combination of people on the cutting edge of their field.”

The university will look to remain cost-effective and customer friendly to students while becoming more visible in the North Texas area, Rawlins said.

“We want UNT to be seen more in other communities,” Rawlins said. “We want UNT not to be a place to simply come to, but as a university of the region, and we reach out to you.”

Though the university won’t expand on the logo change until its release Monday, UNT News Promotion Manager Buddy Price said students would be pleased with the change.

After the graduation of the 2010 class, the UNT wake-boa rd i ng club wa s dow n to about t h ree members, including current president and instructor Justin Troth.

T h re e yea r s later, t he club is ra n ked si x t h out of 16 col lege teams set to compete at the Empire Wake Collegiate Championships on April 18-22 in Las Vegas. The team placed in the quarter-finals in 2010.

“My first year in charge of the team was just a clutter,” sa id Trot h, a n ent repre-neurship senior. “They said, ‘Pretty much if you want to keep t he tea m going, you have to take it now,’ and I was like, ‘Great, I just like to ride.’”

Though hesitant at first to head the club, Troth recruited

members through f lyers and by parking a boat used for wakeboarding on campus.

“We drew 35 to 40 people who were interested, a nd about 15 to 20 of them ended up joining the team,” Troth

said. C lub member C a m ron

Reneau said he never would have known about the club if he hadn’t been looking for it, and is glad he found it.

“Your first time out is really

addicting,” said Reneau, an av iat ion log ist ic s ju n ior. “It ’s somet h i ng t hat you can really get better at: you can always learn some new trick.”

Interest in wakeboarding

has grown over the past three yea rs since Rob Mendieta took over t he Col leg iate Championships.

“W hen we started we had about 20 teams, at the end of last year we had 52 and next

year we expect 70 or more,” said Mendieta, president and founder of Empire Wake, an online wakeboarding publi-cat ion and event sponsor. “Ou r goa l is to ma ke it a big ger dea l i n t he wa ke-boa rd i ng com mu n it y. We kind of rewrote the books. Everybody who works for me used to ride college wake-boarding, so we all under-stand what it should be.”

UNT w i l l be up aga inst schools such as Arizona State University, Chico State, the University of South Florida, Texas A&M and Sacramento State, who rank 1 through 5, respectively.

The club still needs to pay a $35,000 entry fee, $12,000 of which Troth said they have thus far. Troth said he may have to begin collecting dues f rom members, but pla ns mainly to fundraise.

“A major upgrade for disability accommodation is under way now, and basically the place is torn up,” Bailey said.

Ramps are being installed to facilitate the new loca-tion of the Office of Disability Accommodation. The project will finish in late spring, though

no exact date has been given, Bailey said.

Extra space became available for renovations after the College of Business, once based in Sage Hall, was relocated to the Business Leadership Building in September 2011. Prior to the move, Sage Hall was named the Business Administration Building.

Other academic-focused programs to be housed in Sage include the Emerald Eagle Scholars, Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science,

Study Abroad programs, the Office for Nationally Competitive Scholarships, McNair Scholars a nd Ter r y Schola r sh ip programs.

Union Director Zane Reif said the space that once housed offices such as the Student Learning Center will be unrecognizable if the proposed Union renovations are made.

“As far as the square footage, it will be given to student organiza-tions and storage areas for student organizations,” Reif said.

Aaron Zischkale said he hopes UNT doesn’t stray from the ‘Mea n Green’ image, but hopes t he new marketing c a mpa ig n w i l l foc u s on t he school’s hig h qua l it y academic programs.

“We’ve got a good reputa-tion,” Zischkale said. “We’ve got a good music school, the best jazz school. It should be easy to do any kind of brand modifications for UNT.”

Others think the promotion of UNT’s image is not the best way to spend the university’s resources.

Psychology senior Jordan Fotouhi said he would like to see h ig her ad m ission standards at UNT to further improve the university’s repu-tation rather than create a new logo.

“It’s not doing anything to benefit students,” Fotouhi said. “I think anything like that is a waste of money.”

The UNT softball team will have no margin for error this weekend as it opens its season in the Hilton Houston Plaza Classic with three games against nation-ally-ranked teams.

The Mean Green will play No. 11 Oklahoma State and No. 20 Houston, the tournament host, in a Friday doubleheader before facing Houston again in the final game of the weekend Sunday. Both Oklahoma State and Houston played in last season’s NCAA tournament.

“Honestly, I kind of like it,” said head coach T.J. Hubbard of facing tough competition to open the season. “It’s a great opportunity to see how good we are and see what we need to work on. It will give us a good starting point to judge where we stand with the rest of the teams in the country.”

Sophomore Ashley McCarroll swings at the ball during practice Wednesday at Lovelace Field. “I want to see what we can do. I know we’re the underdogs,” McCarroll said when asked about the Mean Green’s five games this weekend.

Entering its match at TCU, the UNT tennis team (4-3) had lost all 28 of its previous meetings against the Horned Frogs. That losing streak ended Thursday, as the Mean Green topped TCU for the first time ever with a 4-3 win.

No. 44 TCU (3-2) is the highest ranked opponent UNT has ever defeated.

“They did it. The believed, they didn’t give up, they fought, and when you do that good things are going to happen,” head coach Sujay Lama said of the team’s effort. “I am so, so proud of them.”

Historic winFor the second straight

match, the Mean Green opened by dropping the doubles point. Juniors Valentina Starkova and Barbora Vykydalova captured the team’s only doubles win by defeating the No. 57 duo of juniors Federica Denti and Kelsey Sundaram.

The teams were tied at 3, with senior Paula Dinuta playing in the final singles match.

UNT women’s basketball head coach Karen Aston was denied her 100th career win for the second straight game as the Mean Green fell to Florida International 68-65 Thursday in Miami, Fla.

The Mean Green cut FIU’s lead down to one point on two separate occasions in the final seconds, but senior guard Tamara Torru’s last-second three-point shot to tie the game fell short.

Junior forward Sara Stanley, who scored a career-high 19 points, and senior guard Brittney Hudson’s 15 points led the way for the Mean Green (13-11, 6-5). Stanley hit three consecutive shots in the final minute to cut FIU’s lead down.

“Lately I’ve been more aggressive with the ball,” Stanley said. “Coach [Aston]

thinking that I needed to fight for everybody,” she said. “Everybody was screaming, but I just concen-trated on each ball.”

Dinuta came through for UNT, beating senior Gaby Mastromarino in three sets (6-7, 6-2, 7-6).

“When you play the type of teams we are playing, you see the players that can step up,” Lama said. “[We] have found that winning formula.”

First conference foeThe Mean Green will begin

Sun Belt Conference play when it hosts Louisiana-Lafayette (1-3) on Sunday at 11 a.m.

“We are excited to play at home,” Lama said. “We have been road warriors.”

Four of UNT’s last six oppo-nents have been ranked in the top 50 in the nation.

While ULL is unranked, UNT won’t take ULL lightly.

“The preparation doesn’t change at all. We just have to make sure we don’t have a letdown,” Lama said. “We are continuing to improve, so these matches are going to make us better.”

ULL’s lone win this season came in January against Alabama-Birmingham.

“We are going to go out there and do our best and fight, just like we did with TCU,” Dinuta said.

Tennis

Women’s Basketball

Softball On the second day of the tour-nament, UNT will have another doubleheader with Sam Houston State in the morning and Texas A&M Corpus Christi in the after-noon.

UNT is 6-2 in season openers and 5-2 in season openers on the road.

Before the Mean Green get into conference play March 10, the team will play in four sepa-rate tournaments. In previous seasons, UNT had not partici-pated in more than three tourna-ments before conference play.

“These tournaments let us know how we match up against everyone else,” freshman Danielle Hoff said. “I think we are going to be just fine and give any team we play a tough match.”

Last year the Mean Green struggled, especially through conference play. The Mean Green was only able to win one of eight conference series last season, winning two of three against Louisiana-Monroe in April. The

team finished 22-30 last season and failed to qualify for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament for the first time in school history.

Although last season didn’t end well, this season has already started on a high note.

Senior infielder Lisa Johnson made the Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference Team as the Mean Green’s lone representative.

“It feels good. I haven’t had it the last three years,” Johnson said. “Eventually by the end of the season I would like to get First Team All[-Sun Belt] Conference as well. Hopefully we can get more UNT players in there.”

This season UNT will need to take advantage of its opportuni-ties in home conference games. Last season the Mean Green won a school record of 17 games at Lovelace Stadium.

UNT will kick the season off at 11 a.m. today against Oklahoma State in Houston. The final game against Houston will start at 11 a.m. Sunday.

has been really telling me to look for my shot more.”

The loss is UNT’s ninth by fewer than 10 points this season.

A l l-A merican candidate and FIU sophomore guard Jerica Coley was limited to eight points in the first half, but exploded for 17 second half points as FIU (16-8, 6-5) went on an 18-7 run midway through the second half.

Aston was displeased with her team’s lackadaisical effort in the second half.

“This was just a really disap-pointing game,” Aston said. “I thought we played well early. In the first 15 minutes of the second half we sleepwalked. I have no idea why we didn’t play harder in the second half.”

UNT shot 50 percent but committed 19 turnovers.

Back to the drawing boardUNT continues its Sunshine

State road trip with a game against Florida Atlantic on Saturday in Boca Raton, Fla.

The Mean Green will try for the third time to earn Aston her 100th career win and attempt to keep pace with the Sun Belt West Division leader Arkansas-Little Rock.

Hudson said the team needs to stay more focused and not let up once they gain the lead.

“I just feel like we have to get back to consistently playing our style: full 40 minutes and not in spurts,” Hudson said. “Saturday’s game is a big game for us that we need to win.”

Aston said she will search for a combination of players who are willing to work hard and compete for the entire game.

“We have to go back to the drawing board and find a group that’s going to play hard,” she said. “Our defense is our problem right now.”

The FAU Owls (13-9, 8-3) are on a two-game win streak after defeating FIU and Denver last week.

The game will tip off at 2 p.m. Saturday.

After scoring its third-lowest first half point total of the season with 26 points, the UNT men’s basketball team’s offense exploded to gain a 68-61 road victory over Florida International (7-16, 4-7).

UNT’s best second half weapon was junior guard Brandan Walton. After missing all his shots in the first half, Walton scored 13 straight points for the Mean Green (14-10, 7-4) to seal the victory.

He finished the game with 15 points, five rebounds and four assists.

Walton said the positivity and confidence his teammates expressed throughout the game allowed him to confi-dently shoot in the second half.

“With all of that being said, I was able to knock down some shots in the second half,” he said.

Freshman forward Tony Mitchell and sophomore guard Alzee Williams were UNT’s other double-digit scorers. Mitchell finished the night with 17 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks, while Williams continued his hot streak with 16 points, six rebounds and four assists.

To begin the game for, FIU sophomore guard Phil Taylor drilled three three-pointers. After that, the defense for both teams picked up and the game became more physical.

“We just pointed out all of the shooters on the floor to know where they were and made them drive the ball,” Mitchell said.

Walton’s lone point in the first half was scored on a free throw after a flagrant foul.

“It’s a conference game,” Walton said. “So it’s like one of those old-time games where if you go into the paint, you’ll get knocked around a little bit. You get used to it.”

FIU successfully ran a full-

court press to force some turn-overs, cutting the Mean Green’s lead to six points with less than a minute to go in the game.

“I think we were in a rush, instead of keeping [the game] at our pace,” Walton said. “Once we calmed down and got ahead on the boards, we were able to get to the line and knock down some free throws.”

Critical conference clashUNT will stay in Florida to take

on Florida Atlantic (10-14, 6-5) on Saturday at 6 p.m.

FAU defeated Denver 72-71 on Thursday led by junior guard

Greg Gantt’s 18 points. UNT also defeated Denver in overtime 75-74 on Jan. 21.

“We’re expecting another phys-ical game,” Walton said. “It’s going to be a super-critical game, just like the one tonight [Thursday]. We just have to come out and give 110 percent on the court.”

Mitchell said the team needs to finish strong to gain momentum.

“We have to have mental toughness and work hard to get wins so we can go into the confer-ence tournament with confi-dence and make a statement,” Mitchell said.

“They believed, they didn’t give

up, they fought...”

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

Show off your newest accessories at Thin Line Film Fest with these easy to make 35mm film earrings, also made from as movie strip-film.

These earrings are simple and quick to make. Have fun compli-menting your outfit with a piece of your favorite movie.

The hardest thing to find is the 35mm film. Try your local movie theaters, such as Movie Tavern. A lot of theaters have gone digital, so there is a chance they have leftover projector film. UNT’s Department of Radio, Television & Film Building is also a good place to check for 35mm film.

If you cannot find 35mm film at the local theater or arts and craft stores, you can order it online through eBay or various other sites.

The 35mm film prices will vary depending on where you buy it, how old it is and what movie it is.

All other materials can be found at any local store.

The other materials should cost $10 to $15. The most expensive item is the pliers.

Things you’ll need:Pair of scissors Pair of pliers A hole punchAny movie filmstripEarring hooks

First look through the 35mm film and find an image you like. Because of the way projection film works, the image selected will be repeated multiple times.

Cut two or three slides of the image. These will be the earrings, so you need two. You can cut them into different shapes or make them about twice as long so you can loop them around.

Take the hole punch and punch holes in the middle at the top of the 35mm film piece. You can disregard this step if you would like to use the

35mm � lm earrings

holes that are already in the side of the film for a tilted earring.

Take one earring hook at a time and put the pliers on the loop at the bottom of the hook where the film will go. Use the pliers to bend the bottom of the earring hook toward you. This will make it so that you can slip the film into the opening on the hook.

Then take the pliers and close the hook back to secure the film.

Jerry Givens has killed 62 people.

Or so he said in the opening line of ‘Jerry,’ a documentary about a former executioner of Virginia’s Death Row who is now speaking out against capital punishment.

Givens will join Canadian tree planters, punk rocker dads and female craft beer brewers as film subjects in the Thin Line Film Fest, opening today.

Texas’ only international docu-mentary film festival features films from countries all over the world, including Australia, Italy and Uganda. The festival will run 11 days for the first time since it started five years ago. This year the festival will feature 21 feature films, 43 short films and eight special presenta-tions.

“We put on a really high quality festival and we bring in the best films in the world,” festival director Joshua Butler said. “Just through that alone, we’ve been able to grow a really strong audience for docu-mentary films here in Denton.”

Creating the CraftButler is also the president of

Texas Filmmakers, the nonprofit organization he helped start eight years ago, which puts on the festival every year.

To help raise money for the orga-nization when it first started, Butler and others worked concessions at the Dr. Pepper Ballpark in Frisco.

They raised $25,000, working eight hours a day for 55 days in a row, he said.

Butler believes his hard work has paid off.

“We are talking about subject matters that may or may not ever get talked about in Texas or in our area,” he said. “Films that people will prob-ably not ever get to see again in the state. It’s a window into the world of other people, other cultures and other nations.”

� in Line Film Fest brings new spin to movie industry with documentaries

Film submissions doubled this year, resulting in the festival’s new extended timeline of 11 days. This year’s festival will also feature the first-ever Docu-Denton 7K, a documentary video race in which teams have approximately 7,000 minutes to create a documentary based on a random topic. Each of the completed films will screen during the festival.

In an attempt to pay homage to its local roots, Thin Line is presenting the first-ever Denton Doc Award, a $1,000 prize to the best documen-tary with a connection to Denton County. Connections can include people, places and the “spirit” of Denton County.

“We always want to incorporate

local content,” Butler said. “But of course the most important thing is entertainment value of the film and its relevance.”

Since it began five years ago, Thin Line has garnered national attention from media outlets such as Yahoo! and the “The New York Times.”

This year’s festival features

renowned films such as “Buck,” a story about modern day “horse-whisperer” Buck Brannaman. The film was the winner of the

Audience Award Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival and was included on the Oscars shortlist for Best Documentary Feature.

“Documentaries have gained a

lot of popularity in the last decade or so,” Butler said. “So as docu-mentaries grow in popularity then so should these types of events. It just really means the sky’s the limit to this festival, and hopefully we can take full advantage of all those opportunities.”

Community Casting CallRadio, television and film

professor Ben Levin said RTVF students look forward to attending the festival.

“Students love it, especially grad-uate students, because the graduate program focuses on documenta-ries,” he said.

Two UNT students, two UNT alumni and one faculty member will

air their films at Thin Line Film Fest. Some of the featured films include “Graciously We Serve,” “River Planet” and “Paleogeographer’s Song.”

Levin also notes the festival’s positivity and increase in growth since its beginning five years ago.

“Now, Thin Line has a lot more sponsors and advertising,” he said. “There’s a lot more involvement and

more films being screened.”This year’s film lineup will show

at various locations in downtown Denton, including the historic Campus Theatre and Denton Square Donuts.

St., will transform into the Square Donut Theater.

This is the first time the venue will be used for screenings for the festival. The makeshift theater seats about 30 people.

Denton Square Donuts co-owner Bear Cahill, who knew Butler when he was the program director for Denton’s public access television station, said Butler approached him about using the space of the shop for some of the film screenings.

“He knew we had a space upstairs, and they were looking for a more intimate location and settings,” he said. “Keeping it downtown was also something he wanted to do.”

On Feb. 20, the final day of the festival, the Square Donut Theater will exclusively show the “Best of Fest”, which are the more notable, award-winning documentaries.

Cahill said the relationship between the festival and Denton represents a great exchange of local culture for those people coming in and international culture for Denton.

“It brings in external influences and exposes locals to work from around the world and introduces people coming in to Denton to what we have to offer,” he said. “Thin Line does it in a way that’s beneficial to both parties as opposed to taking something away.”

To Cahill, Thin Line is more than just a film festival. He said it’s offering a platform specifically for documentaries, something that hasn’t been done before in Texas.

As the festival continues to grow, Butler has high hopes for its future and what it can mean to Texas and especially Denton.

“It’s a lot of work and sometimes I’m like, ‘Oh my God, why the heck am I doing this,’” he said. “But in the end I see the potential for growth, and I see what we could be and the pursuit of that kind of endgame drives me. I want to see this thing become successful and be a real powerhouse event for the state and the film industry.”

“It brings in external influences and exposes locals to work from around the world.”

A green light glows from within a garage as a camera crew stands outside in the driveway, waiting to capture whatever’s about to come out.

This science f iction scene, filmed by radio, television and film senior Derek Welle and his team, is one of many that UNT students will create this year.

Before embarking on their short film, Welle and his crew were required to attain a permit from the city of Denton.

A film director does more than just walk the red carpet. For Andy LaViolette, directing means every-thing from positioning lights and choosing different camera angles to editing more than 85 hours of tape.

UNT alumnus LaViolette is the director of “Bass: Beyond Limitation,” a 28-minute film which documented the Double Bass Solo Competition, held at UNT in 2010, and will screen at the Thin Line Film Fest, which starts today.

LaViolette worked with three other crewmembers, who are also UNT alumni, to capture every moment of the competition.

“It would have been easy to just make a compilation recording of all the performances,” he said. “But I wanted to make a film that speaks to everyone.”

LaViolette started work on the film by driving to Love Field Airport

to film contestants as they arrived for the event, said instrumental studies professor Jeff Bradetich, who created the competition.

The next task for LaViolette was getting up early to create an inter-view room for contestants before and after performances. LaViolette set up all the lighting himself and recorded the majority of the sound, he said.

Interviewing each performer by himself took time, LaViolette said.

Bradetich said the in-depth inter-views enhance the film.

“You get to see the personal stories of what’s behind the scenes and in the heads of the people involved,” he said. “You don’t have to appreciate classical or bass music to appre-ciate that.”

LaViolette and his crew posi-tioned different cameras in the concert hall, backstage and the interview room to record more than 85 hours of raw footage, which was edited down.

be found and submitted on the City of Denton website.

Many students avoid the appli-cation process because they fear long waits, complicated paper work or big fees, said Hugo Ramos, Spanish language senior and a RTVF equipment room assis-tant.

“All I’ve needed to worry about is gaining permission from the owner and maybe a signed release for documentation,” Ramos said. “That’s as far as our legal work goes. Again, since this is Denton, most places are ver y under-standing and curious.”

Permits are free, said Janie McLeod, Denton communit y events coordinator.

“The only person who benefits is the individual,” she said.

Alumnus Andy LaViolette, director of “Bass: Beyond Limitation,” works on the 28-min-ute � lm, which documented the Double Bass Solo Competition held at UNT.

LaViolette finished editing the film after three months. During this time he also worked on other projects, such as wedding videog-raphy and music videos.

LaViolette was originally hired to only film the competition, but as he began working he wanted to make it more of a documentary. The personal interviews strongly shaped the evolution into a docu-mentary, he said

“I didn’t want just a concert DVD,” he said. “The contestants are nervous and sweaty after the talk, so it’s a great time to get candid responses and get inside the performer’s head.”

Music always remained the primary focus, LaViolette said.

A graduate of UNT’s jazz studies department, LaViolette described the music performances as “life-changing”.

UNT alumnus Brad Holt, who worked as a cameraman for the film, said musical training is an advan-

tage for filmmakers.“When you have a musical

background, documenting music happening is really natural,” he said.

When LaViolette is not working on films, he embraces his musical roots and sets up jazz nights at Denton clubs.

“I’ve lived in Denton since 1998, and there’s no signs I’ll be leaving

anytime soon,” he said.

Permitting officials prefer that students apply at least five days prior to filming, but it usually doesn’t take that long for the appli-cation to be processed, McLeod said.

If students try to secure a permit, they may use city services such as the Denton Police Department or Denton Fire Department or obtain help with street closures, according to the City of Denton website.

The fine for filming without a permit in Denton is up to $500 per day, McLeod said.

Each city has its own filming regulations.

Dallas only requires a permit to film if filming impedes traffic. Fort Worth has stricter regula-

tions, including age restrictions, an application fee of $250 and a security deposit of $700.

Film crews have had permis-sion from the office for the past 18 years, McLeod said.

Before this office was created, the office of economic devel-opment regulated commercial filming, she said.

Several large budget movies have been filmed in Denton.

Mo s t r e c ent l y, D enton’s Courthouse on the Square made a cameo appearance in the opening scene of “Monte Carlo” (2011).

Offices and iMacs fill bedrooms as eager film majors work to create their online show for 720.

This is a f i lm product ion crew created by UNT Housing in August 2011 to educate the student body about opportuni-ties on campus through a weekly web ser ies. Students in t he Radio, Television and Film REAL (Residents Engaged in Academic Learning) community create all the episodes, which are posted Thursdays on YouTube. It’s free to join the club.

“720 puts students into a production house environment with the opportunity to learn and gain experience,” said Joel Morales, media specialist and UNT alumnus. “We do this so students can create online content

Housing connects with UNT communityand can say, ‘this is ours,’ that this is part of their school, and to inform, educate and entertain.”

What began as a marketing strategy for UNT Housing turned into an enthusiastic group of freshmen and sophomore students eager to learn production skills.

The name 720 was inspired by the concept of two revolutions around the sun, ensuring revi-sion to deliver the best quality to students.

Members must be an RTVF major and part of the REAL commu-nity. The crew includes about 20 students.

“RTVF REAL community is the link between college and housing,” UNT Housing Marketing Coordinator Philip Elliott said. “These students have limited time, and we want to make it as benefi-cial as possible. We’re bringing

academics and the college expe-rience to their doorstep.”

There is something for everyone, including camera operations, public relations, writing, producing and sound editing. Each student is directly involved in producing the show.

“After the script was split up, I organized the RLA [resident assis-tant] Selection episode into what it came out as,” said Matthew Beldon, pre-RTVF freshman, producer and writer. “This is a real film set, and my name was on the credits list. 720 gives me experience I won’t get until junior year.”

In the future, UNT Housing hopes to provide all REAL commu-nities with similar immersion expe-riences.

Once a month, students, faculty and staff come together to voice their opinions and concerns about women’s issues through Fem Flicks.

Created in 2008 through the joint efforts of the Women’s Studies department, the UNT Media Library and the Women’s Center, Fem Flicks shows documenta-ries relating to women’s issues. The free screenings happen the last Wednesday of every month in Chilton Hall.

“I think it really originated with the Women’s Studies department wanting to do events on campus that related to women’s issues and start a conversation,” Chilton Hall librarian Kim Stanton said.

The staff chooses documentaries covering themes such as anorexia and sexual violence.

Some screenings feature a

Fem Flicks sheds light on women’s issuesspeaker afterward so viewers can discuss their thoughts and opin-ions over the issue highlighted in the film.

What sets Fem Flicks apart is their value as documentaries, Stanton said.

“They have a scholarly intent to them, as opposed for being for entertainment purposes,” she said. “It meets the goals of what the Fem Flicks film series is about.”

Radio, telev ision a nd f i lm professor Eugene Martin said showing films made by women helps young women in his classes f ind their voices as directors, producers, writers and editors.

“I think it’s important that our college students see women as complicated and three-dimen-sional people,” he said. “I teach filmmaking, and we have several young women directors and they

recognize how hard it is to make it as filmmakers.”

T he Me d i a L i br a r y a nd Women’s Studies staff members meet at the beginning of the year to decide what films will screen.

“It will allow for new perspec-tives, and they’re good movies,” said Maryam Eljaouhari, anthro-pology sophomore and attendee. “It allows people with similar interests envisioning ideas to come together.”

Martin said it’s vital to spark a discussion and inspire the next generation of citizens by exposing students to how women are inte-gral to society through film.

“It’s a great way to meet other people and have coffee after-wards and discuss what they just watched and engage in conversa-tion,” he said. “It’s a wonderful way to extend the classroom

everyone on campus to partici-pate in the Fem Flicks screen-ings.

“I think that if students and facult y are interested in the topics that these mov ies are addressing, watching them in a group setting with a speaker afterwards is a way to engage with people who are interested in the same topic,” she said.

Hidden in a mini-complex of restaurants next to Cinemark 14 and Beth Marie’s Ice Cream, Sidewalk Bistro is a semi-swanky café serving up average comfort food in a family-friendly atmo-sphere.

Sidewalk Bistro is set up so customers seat themselves.

With black and white checkered

tile, only ten tables and kitchen on full display, the small restaurant feels like a diner in disguise.

The waiters don’t come around much, but when they do, they are pleasant.

The menu offers a wide selec-tion of typical sandwiches, salads, burgers and other dinner plates such as chicken-fried steak or pork chops.

The chicken salad sandwich is tasty with just the right f lavors to make it more than an ordinary sandwich. A good amount of the chicken salad is placed on the sandwich, along with lettuce and tomato. With a side to go along with it, the meal is quite filling.

The Philly cheesesteak is fresh and filling, with creamy cheese and crisp vegetables, but not entirely worth its $9 price tag.

Other sandwich options include tuna salad, grilled chicken and a Ruben with sauerkraut and roast beef. Coming with one side, the meal comes out to $8, which is a bit pricy for a sandwich and fries.

With a few burgers to choose f rom, on ly a couple of t hem stood out. The mushroom Swiss includedd gri l led mushrooms and sharp Swiss cheese over a half-pound patty. The Western barbecue burger is loaded with bacon, cheese, gri l led onions and a tang y barbecue sauce. Burgers are $9, which includes a side.

There is a va r iet y of sides

available, including french fries, sweet potato fries, house salad, macaroni and vegetables.

For bigger appetites, there are larger dinner plates including chicken-fried steak, pork chops, ch icken tenders a nd stea k s. These items are a bit pricier at $13.

A few Tex-Mex choices, such as quesadillas or carnitas, are also available if patrons are not in

the mood for homestyle comfort food.

The restaurant is BYOB, so the age-appropriate crowd is welcome to bring its own refreshments and unwind for a bit while enjoying some good food.

Sidewa l k Bist ro is ex pen-sive and does not have the best customer service, but the food is comfortably familiar with an inviting atmosphere.
