Popular sports media website Bleacher Report recently named UNT’s Green Brigade Drumline the No. 1 drumline in college football.
The article, titled “10 Best Drumlines in College Football,” was published online Sept. 5.
This is UNT’s second appear-ance in Bleacher Report. The Green Brigade Marching Band was hailed as the “Best Damn Band in the Land” by the website in 2011.
Rounding out the top three posit ions were Souther n University and Virginia State University.
Zack Pumerantz, a featured columnist for Bleacher Report, posted a performance video from each of the 10 schools, as well as a statement on each of the selections.
Pumerantz gave the Green Brigade an A+ in his article and included a video of an eight-minute snareline performance from 2009.
“They teased you and left you wanting more,” Pumerantz said. “Then reeled you back in with synchronized brilliance. It was honestly the greatest drumline I’ve ever heard.”
Pumerantz said that video was what motivated him to rank UNT No. 1. He also said that one of the main requirements for a drumline to make his list was a quality recording to post on the website.
UNT Green Brigade Drumline named best in nation
Even if a school had a good reputation, he would not rank them if there was not a decent video of a performance.
The video of the five-man ensemble made an impact on Pumerantz, who called the Green Brigade Drumline “soothing, rhythmic and engaging.”
Nicholas Williams, director of the Green Brigade Marching
Band, said the drumline’s recognition is much appreci-ated but is not a total surprise to him.
Williams said that the drum-line specifically has performed well for decades, continu-ally receiving acknowledge-ment at the annual Percussive Arts Society International Convention, which, according to its website, is the largest
percussion event in the world. However, he said that the
Green Brigade Drumline’s appearance on Bleacher Report was out of the ordinary because the website is rooted in athletics rather than musicianship.
“Musicians always compli-ment musicians,” Williams said. “For those outside the music industry to take notice is really cool.”
Although the recognition was based on a past perfor-mance, drumline member and music education sophomore Timothy Biles said it has made an impact on the current drum-line.
He said it encourages new members to step up and builds the confidence of those who have been in the line before.

A team of UNT engineering students is developing a game that could help make future tech-nology more energy-efficient by recording how the human brain sees patterns and connections. A free beta version of the game, “Untangled,” is currently avail-able online.
The game simulates the mapping and placement of chips on an electronic circuit, but the simplified graphics, helpful tuto-rials and color-coded components make it more easily understand-able to those outside of the engi-neering world.
“We didn’t want the game to just be played by engineers,” computer science senior Natalie Parde said.
Parde worked on “Untangled” as part of a research program this summer. She said more than 800 people have registered and played the game online so far.
Players are given a puzzle of squares, or nodes, connected by lines that they must move according to a set of specific rules. The object of the game is to arrange the squares into as compact a group as possible without violating the set rules.
Researchers on the project have learned that people can arrange the squares more quickly by seeing the connections between the squares and moving them accordingly.
“As humans, we look for clusters and find things grouped together, and then move together,” electrical engineering master’s student Anil Sistla said.
Sistla said that players begin to develop more elaborate, successful strategies for arranging the squares after a few games.
“People get faster and more effi-cient the more they play,” he said.
Data from each game played is recorded and saved, giving the student programmers, developers
and researchers the ability to study players’ strategies.
“We can learn what strategies the top players use, and see what common patterns there are,” said electrical engineering assistant professor Gayatri Mehta, who is leading the project.
These player-generated strat-egies are often faster and more efficient than traditional methods for arranging the nodes, she said. Information and algorithms collected from “Untangled” data can be used to improve the next generation of portable electronics by making them more efficient.
“By putting two nodes closer together, the wire between them is shorter,” Mehta said. “This means the device will use less power.”
To play “Untangled,” visit untangled.unt.edu and create a username. The website currently has six variations of the game, as well as multiple difficulty levels, instructions and tutorials.
UNT-developed gameuntangles human mind
of being recognized has not interfered with the effort put in daily by the 50 drumline members.
They continue to rehearse with the rest of the marching band every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with an additional hour and a half of percussion practice every Sunday.
“The great thing about this group is that they’re not only hard workers and good students, but they’re nice people,” Williams said.
Cody Haddock, drumline member and music education junior, said he is honored by the recognition, but there is no reason to become complacent.
“I’ve always known that this was a special group,” Haddock said. “This ranking has made the drumline work harder because now we have to live up to even higher standards.”
The Green Brigade Drumline can be seen defending their title at UNT’s next home game Saturday at Apogee Stadium.

drumline I’ve ever heard”

The new Mean Green Racing team is working on getting its ideas off the drawing board and onto the track with hopes to smoke the engineering competition sometime next year.
The team, in its first year of existence, is a UNT Society of Automotive Engineers group that develops open-wheel race-cars from the ground up. The organization offers students hands-on engineering expe-rience and will ultimately compete against other schools from around the world.
“I think this will be the face of engineering at UNT,” said mechanical engineering tech-nology senior Matt Ellis, who is participating for his senior project.
The team is still in the design phase but expects to begin building the racecar over winter break. The vehicle should be completed by spring break and ready for competi-tion, which will test various aspects of the car’s design and functionality, by June.
Mean Green Racing got the green light last March to begin the roughly one-year process of building a racecar – every-thing but the engine, tires and differential must be created from scratch.
Developing the engine and differential would be too risky for the first-year program, Ellis said.
Other requirements include a 4-stroke 600cc engine max, a minimum of a 60-inch
Mean Green Racing teamto build car from scratch
wheelbase and a 20-millimeter restrictor intake, which is about the size of a nickel. The competi-tion has five categories that test skid pads, autocross, acceleration, endurance and fuel economy.
The Mean Green Racing team does not confine itself to a specific field of engineering and includes students with various fields of expertise.
“We could have every single [engineering] department involved in this,” Ellis said.
The organization is mostly engineering students, but mechanical engineering and energy junior Michael Stoddard, a member of the team, said students with other majors could also help out. The competition requires teams to submit a design report, cost report and presenta-tion to the judges.
The SAE racecar project is a major undertaking in the
UNT College of Engineering and would further legitimize the unaccredited Mechanical Engineering and Energy depart-ment, Ellis said.
“If we could be that organiza-tion to get them [the Mechanical Engineering and Energy Department] accredited, that would be crazy,” Ellis said.
The University of Texas at Arlington SAE racing team, headed by Robert Woods, has helped guide UNT through the process.
UNT is a step ahead of the competition because of UTA’s assistance, Ellis said, because racing teams improve by docu-menting their designs and building on them from year to year.

Every year, thousands of UNT students struggle to find a way to pay for the numerous expenses that go along with a college education. With short-term loans offered by the Student Money Management Center, students can manage college costs without signing their lives away to a private lender.
Students who attend UNT’s Denton campus are eligible for the four loans offered by the center, which range from $50 to $1,000 and are available through the Student Accounting Office in the Eagle Student Services Center.
Unlike financial aid or long-term loans, these loans are for students in need of quick cash to cover unexpected expenses, said merchandising junior Santana Christian, a student assistant at the Money Management Center.
“These loans are designed to be for short-term use and are more needs-based than the others,” Christian said.
T h e S t ude nt Mo n e y Management Center receives about 500 applications a semester for one of the four loans, he said.
“The most common loan applied for is the Memorial Loan, which covers up to $500, and a one percent processing fee is added on to it,” Christian said. “People usually buy textbooks, supplies,
Quick loans help students with college costs
and even take care of rent with it.”According to the center’s
website, the loan can’t be used for current tuition, on-campus housing, study abroad expenses or prior balances.
Interdisciplinary studies senior
Tracy Bauer said she applied for a short-term loan through the center and found the process fairly easy and helpful.
“I just applied for it online, and it helped take care of some things before my financial aid
came through,” she said.Students can apply for the
Memorial Loan, as well as the more emergency-based Bailey Legacy Loan, online.
“Because the Bailey Legacy Loan covers up to $1,000, it takes a
little longer to process due to more reviewing of the application,” Christian said. “Students can only apply for the loan once per year, and there is a $45 processing fee.”
Students looking for some fast cash to take care of less expensive
needs should look into applying for the Green Loan, which provides students with $50 cash-in-hand for unexpected expenses, with only a $3 fee.
The Bailey Legacy Loan is available to students as a last resort – it provides up to $1,000 to students who need the money to ensure enrollment for the semester.
Boots-to-Books was created specifically for student veterans waiting for their aid and bene-fits to kick in. The loan can only be used toward the rental or purchase of textbooks and the maximum amount avail-able is $500, free of interest and processing fees.
Albert Anaya, a representative in the Student Accounting Offices, said the short-term loans func-tion more as deferments – where interest does not accrue – than actual loans.
“Students will get on an install-ment plan online, and the semes-ter’s tuition will be broken up into three payments,” Anaya said. “The first payment is due imme-diately, with the remaining two due in the following months. All the short-term loan will do is take the first payment and combine it with the third payment.”

All UNT campus residence halls are now providing coinless, free-of-charge laundry machines for residents, saving students the hassle of rummaging through couches, purses and jeans for spare quarters.
“I think it’s a really great thing,” Bruce Hall Resident Assistant Nick Marby said. “It’s just one more thing we can offer the residents, and that’s what we are always looking to do.”
Students who live on campus said it was a much-appreciated change.
“It used to be such a pain washing laundry,” business junior Ryan Davis said. “You would have
On-campus laundry goes coinless
to dig for quarters, sometimes even go out of your way for change.”
New freshmen said they were glad that they could step onto campus and have a privilege never
offered before. “I live in El Paso, so it’s not like
I can just drive home and do my laundry,” music theory freshman Diego Valdez said. “This makes
things more affordable and conve-nient.”
Marby said coinless machines unfortunately meant longer lines in dormitory laundry rooms. However, the change has made doing laundry more convenient and affordable for everyone. It’s also kept campus residents’ clothes exceptionally clean.
“The funny thing about it is, now everyone is doing laundry,” Marby said. “So [if you] want to get your laundry done on a Sunday? Good luck.”
The wait is worth it, Valdez said. “I’ll wait all day if it saves me
$1.75,” Valdez said. “It’s just a great thing for the campus, and I’m glad we were finally able to make this big change.”

UNT Jazz Studies Chair John Murphy knows first-hand the financial struggles students encounter.
He worked at restaurants such as Denton Cou nt y Independent Ha mbu rger Company and the Long Branch while he was at UNT during his undergraduate years to help pay for school.
Now Murphy is t rying to raise $4,000 to create a four-year scholarship for a jazz studies undergraduate student by participating in the Stonebridge Ranch Triathlon on Sept. 30 in McKinney.
Murphy said there are about 170 undergraduate students and 70 graduate students in the jazz studies program, 85 of whom are on scholarship.
By part icipat ing in the triathlon, Murphy hopes to bring awareness to the schol-arship itself and the need for scholarship funds.

UNT Jazz Studies Chair John Murphy will be participating in a triathlon Sept. 30 to raise money for an undergraduate College of M usic scholarship.
According to playtri.com, the triathlon consists of a 1,500-meter swim, a 24-mile bike ride and a 10-kilometer run (a little more than 6 miles).
Murphy has participated in seven marathons in the past
five years. He also rides his bike to
work, a nine-mile round trip, swims at the Pohl Recreation Center during his lunch hour and runs at the Pilot Knoll trail on the weekends.
“It’s fun,” Murphy said. “And having an event to look forward to helps motivate me to keep up my exercise routine.”
Jazz st udies professor Michael Steinel said state
funds cannot be used for scholarships, only private funds.
“The tuition goes up for everybody,” Steinel said. “But the amount we have, unless we attract new donors, stays the same. Our normal scholar-ships, as a percentage of what the tuition is, have declined.”
Steinel suggested Murphy turn his hobby into a fund-raising event during the summer while the two were talking about the lack of schol-arship funds.
“Dr. Murphy is a man of many facets,” he said. “He has a lot of duties at school, and yet he’s been able to train for these kinds of events. I’m just very impressed by that.”
Through social mediums such as the jazz studies website, Facebook and Twitter, Murphy is spreading word about this fundraising event.
He also created a video that informs the public of what he is trying to do and what the
event consists of. As of Sept. 16, about $2,000
has been donated to Murphy’s cause.
Murphy said most of the money has come from faculty, staff and administration with the college of music.
“This is not just me,” he said. “The immediate goal is to help a student get a schol-arship, but another goal is to demonstrate that we really care about our students here.”
Jazz performance senior Chad Willis said Murphy understands students’ needs and is open to talk and help them improve whenever they need help.
“The fact that he is pushing it and trying to help other students have chances that a lot of students don’t,” Willis said. “It’s just great that he’s doing that.”
People can donate to the scholarship fund through the Jazz Studies website at jazz.unt.edu/extramile.

Participants in this semester’s Travel-Learn programs offered by the Center for Achievement and Lifelong Learning (CALL) will have the opportunity to walk the streets of London in celebration of Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday, explore the Italian countryside and see historic sites in countries like Israel, Hungary, Austria and Serbia.
The Charles Dickens London trip will be led by wife and husband team Dolores and Don Vann.
Those participating in the program will be able to experi-ence London through the eyes of a literary master.
Don Vann, a retired UNT English professor and Dickens scholar, began volunteering four years ago with the Emeritus College, a program headed by the CALL .
He was recently approached to organize a trip to London as part of their Travel-Learn Program.
The Emeritus College began as an outreach program aimed at enriching the lives of adults age 50 and older through educa-tion, travel and social activities, according to its website.
Specifically, the Travel-Learn programs offer its members opportunities to travel the world while learning about different topics.
Olivia Walker, an Emeritus College member and recently retired Denton local, said that the Travel-Learn programs offer incredible opportunities to expe-rience different cultures while engaging in education.
“I am a lifelong learner,” Walker said. “And it’s a wonderful opportunity to get exposed to a lot of different topics, many of which I wouldn’t expose myself to otherwise.”
Walker has participated in several of the Travel-Learn programs, including a trip to Israel and Palestine during the summer and a trip to Amsterdam last April.
Emeritus College offers a wide range of classes, lectures and travel opportunities to its members for a $140 annual fee.
“The groups are very small because we want them to able to participate in learning, not part of mass tourism,” CALL Director Marilyn Wagner said. “We do local, domestic and international travel [programs], and we would not turn down a UNT student.”
Local and domestic trips include visits to Dallas museums,
private art collections and day trips to Baylor University, Wagner said.
The Travel-Learn programs are self-supporting, meaning that no state funds are used to produce them, therefore commu-nity participation is important, Wagner said.
“As the community ages, we look at what the learning oppor-tunities are for people,” Wagner said. “We hope they see the value of the programs of UNT [and] understand that UNT has some world class accolades.”
During the upcoming London trip, participants will participate in walking tours, museum visits and several lectures.
A few of the lecturers include Dickens biographer Michael Slater and former “Doctor Who” script editor Terrance Dicks.
“It’s going to be great fun,” Vann said. “I think it’s extremely important for us [who are retired] to keep fit physically and mentally, to keep moving and exercise and keep our bodies in shape but keep our minds in shape as well, and I think that is the main attraction of the Emeritus College.”

On Saturday, the No. 15 Kansas State Wildcats were too much for the Mean Green to handle, as UNT fell 35-21 in Manhattan, Kan.
The loss to the Wildcats (3-0) marked the second time in three weeks that the Mean Green (1-2) has fallen to a top-25 team. The first came against the No. 3 Louisiana State Tigers in a 41-14 defeat during the first week of the season.
“There was lot of good effort by a lot of kids on our foot-ball team, but in the end we just weren’t good enough to win the game,” head coach Dan McCarney said. “I sensed in our preparation and from watching on the sidelines that this team really believed we could win the game, but we weren’t good enough to win it tonight.”
The Mean Green got off to a hot start stopping KSU on back-to-back drives before junior wide receiver Brelan Chancellor ran in the ball for a 6-yard touchdown the put UNT ahead early.
However, the lead would not last as KSU sophomore wide receiver Tyler Lockett ran the ensuing kickoff back 96 yards for the tying touchdown.
UNT comes up short against No. 15 Kansas State
RYNE GANNOESenior Sta� Writer
The Mean Green women’s soccer team suffered its second and th i rd losses this weekend against Big 12 teams Oklahoma State and Texas Christian University. OSU broke the tie in the 88th minute of regulation, winning 3-2, while TCU’s lone first-half goal was enough to take down North Texas 1-0.
The Mean Green’s home loss was the teams first since September 2010.
Assistant coach Cassidy Acuff said she couldn’t define the team’s problem in the two weekend games.
“We seemed a lit tle out of sorts today,” Acuff said. “We couldn’t quite translate it [Friday’s performance] to today’s game.”
FridayLike last weekend’s loss to
Long Beach State, North Texas
(5-3-1) started the game down two goals to No. 7 Oklahoma State (9-1-0).
UNT’s sen ior defender Kelsey Hodges and freshman forward Amber Haggerty scored just three minutes apart to even the score. With three minutes left in regula-tion, OSU’s freshman forward Allie Stephenson scored the go-ahead goal.
Even though the team lost 3-2, Hedlund said it was still a good outcome for the Mean Green.
“We were less than three minutes away from taking the game into [overtime,]” Hedlund said. “From a national perspec-tive, people are starting to take notice of us, and I hope with our results of late, we at least receive votes for the top 25.”

Despite a tough start, the volley-ball team finished the Alabama State University Invitational on a successful note, going 3-1 against the four teams it played.
Facing Maryland-Eastern Shore (14-1) on Friday, the defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champions, UNT (13-5) took them to five sets and were down just one point at 13-14 before Maryland junior Maline Vaitai won the match (21-25, 25-23, 25-18, 18-25, 13-15) with a kill.
“I still have yet to get over that completely,” junior middle blocker Courtney Windham said. “We had them right in the palm of our hand, and we just didn’t finish. I feel like we can beat teams like that. To take them as far as we did, we are right there with them.”
Windham led the team with 51 kills for the entire tournament, while freshman outside hitter Carnae Dillard tallied 47 kills of her own.
The tournament took a turn for the better, beating the University of Tennessee at Martin in four sets
later that evening (25-15, 25-21, 16-25, 25-23). The team finished the tournament Saturday with two three-game sweeps against Jackson State University (25-15, 29-27, 25-11) and the host team, Alabama State University (25-14, 25-10, 25-14).
Windham said she was impressed with her squad and fellow teammates’ response after the tough loss.
“We just really wanted to prove to coach [that] we belong here with all these really good teams that do go to the NCAA tournament,” she said. “We wanted to prove to him, as well as ourselves, that we are good enough.”
Head coach Ken Murczek agreed with Windham, especially for the final game of the weekend tournament.
“I think we played our best game of the season on Saturday, against the host team Alabama State,” he said. “We were clicking on all cylin-ders.”
The victory against Alabama State was a special win for Murczek as well. He reached his 50th win of his career in just 85 games, the fastest coach to reach that mark in UNT history. The first coach in team history, Dolores Copeland, had been the previous record
holder, reaching that mark in 89 games.
BaylorCelebration from the tourna-
ment success will be short-lived, as the match tonight against Baylor looms. This match is the final one before conference play begins, so there is no room for error.
Last season, the Mean Green volleyball team went to Baylor and, as Coach Murczek put it, “laid an egg” in the three-set sweep.
Junior libero Shelby Tamura felt sure that the team had something to prove this year.
“A lot of the girls are fired up,” she said. “I know that they played [Baylor] over the spring.”
In the two matches that the teams played against each other last spring, Baylor won the first meeting 2-0 and tied the second 1-1. However, the Mean Green only had six players on roster due to injuries.
With the current three-game winning streak, the Mean Green is coming in with momentum.
“The way we ended that last match definitely gives us some confidence that we can play at a high level, we can be awfully offen-sive,” Murczek explained. “It defi-nitely feels like we’ve got some confidence coming in.”
Volleyball turns tournament around, gains momentum
Though it struggled to find its groove early, the quick-striking Wildcat offense, led by senior quarterback Collin Klein, started clicking after the first quarter. The Wildcats took a 14-7 lead into the half.
Redshirt freshman running back Antoinne Jimmerson capped an 88-yard UNT drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to begin the second half.
Following the touchdown, junior kicker Zach Olen, who
had a 45-yard field goal blocked earlier in the game, missed the game-tying extra point.
“[Special teams] were a liability all night,” McCarney said. “Special teams are a plan to win for us. They really hurt
our team tonight. We’ve got to get it fixed, coaches and players alike, starting with me. I thought overall it, was pathetic.”
From there, the Mean Green defense failed to stop Klein and the Wildcats, as KSU scored 21
unanswered points.“We’re disappointed. We came
in here expecting to get a win,” junior linebacker Zachary Orr said. “We didn’t execute in the second half defensively like we wanted to, and we’re upset, but we’ve got to put it behind us and get ready for our next opponent next week.”
Though the team was down 22 points with less than seven minutes left in the game, the Mean Green refused to go down without a fight. Redshirt junior quarterback Derek Thompson hit Chancellor for a 19-yard touch-down pass and junior running back Brandin Byrd ran in a shovel pass for the two-point conver-sion.
After having no receptions in last week’s win over Texas Southern, Chancellor finished the game with 33 yards receiving, 24 yards rushing and two touch-downs.
“I feel like I did my part the last game and this game,” Chancellor said. “I just try to do as much as I can to help this team and put us in good situa-tions, [but] I think I can do more.”
UNT will prepare to take on Troy (1-2) on Sept. 22 in the first Sun Belt Conference game of the season. The game will mark the last home game for UNT until Oct. 16.

Junior defensive back Marcus Trice recovers a fumble, which he forced at the six-yard line at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on Sept. 15 in the loss against Kansas State University.
“The other team had a little more intensity. That’s something
that we need to change.”-Michelle Young, senior forward
came on a shot from senior forward Michelle Young. The shot hit the top left corner of the goal post and ricocheted out.
In the second half, junior defender Allison Guderian’s shot forced a leaping save from TCU redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Vittoria Arnold. The Mean Green outshot TCU 12-9 but failed to find the back of the net, losing 1-0.
“The other team had a little more intensity,” Young said. “That’s something that we need to change.”
Although the loss was tough, she said the team needs “to keep our heads straight
this week” as the team begins conference play.
TCU head coach Eric Bell, who is in his first season for TCU, said his team accom-plished its goals in the first half, but UNT had a stronger second half.
“It’s a tough place to play,” Bell said. “I didn’t know they hadn’t lost a game here since 2010. I can see how that can be the case. They didn’t make it easy on us in the second half. “
Hedlund lef t the f ield seconds after the clock expired on Sunday’s loss and declined to comment.

What’s your favor-ite place to study on
campus?
“I like the library becauseit’s quiet and an easy place to
focus.”
“I like to study outside the Union when there’s nice
weather outside, because I can enjoy my coffee while I study.”
“I like to study out by the fountains because of the
ambient noise.”
“I like the library because other people studying around me
tends to help me work harder.”
We’d like to think that the University of North Texas is home to a politically involved student body. We’re home to countless partisan student organizations, the occasional political demonstration and impassioned opinion pieces from both sides of the aisle published in this very newspaper.
Voter turnout across Denton County ended up at more than 70 percent of eligible voters during the 2008 presi-dential election, more than a 10 percent increase over the state average of less than 60 percent – and we’re guessing that at least some of that constituency included UNT students. But the will-ingness to vote isn’t always enough, and
with new legislation in effect, voting in Texas might be a little different for college students this year.
As a student, you’re often in danger of having your ability to vote challenged. In 2011, New Hampshire state house speaker William O’Brian was quoted as saying that students are often “foolish” with their votes, since their youthful inex-perience prevents them from making the “right” choice on Election Day. Translation: statistically, young college students tend to lean towards the left with their votes.
This is why O’Brian, a Republican, supported measures in his state to block voter registration from college addresses,
and even to prevent out-of-state college students from voting in New Hampshire altogether. These proposals didn’t pass, but their very existence demonstrates the need for a student body informed about voter issues.
That being said, fighting voter suppression should not be a partisan issue. Every student who registers and casts a ballot this year is sending the message that the youth vote is a critical element of our democratic process, espe-cially in the face of the growing popular opinion that college-age voters are unmo-tivated, uninformed and unimportant to the general election.
Across the country, 49 percent of voters
between the ages of 18 and 24 partici-pated in the 2008 election, and through our continued involvement and passion about the future of this country, we can easily raise that number this November.
The most important date every eligible student needs to know is Oct. 9: the last day a person can register to vote. Early voting starts Oct. 22 and continues until Nov. 2.
It would be hard to forget that Nov. 6 is Election Day, since your Facebook feed will probably be groaning under the weight of all your friends’ political opinions. Don’t worry, you can add yours to the pile too – all you have to do is cast that ballot.
Too often, students find themselves in a dichotomous relationship with teachers. A complaint often wielded is, “they just don’t like me.” We’ve all heard it. It’s ironic, given that a successful teacher must genuinely care about students and their education. This teacher-bashing runs rampant in our society, and quite unjustly. The primary complaints leveled against our education system stem from issues outside the control teachers are allowed over their schools. That’s why it’s inspiring to see teachers stand with students against the real culprits of educational failure – our politicians. Last Wednesday, the English department at the Queensborough Community College took a stand against the administrators of the City University of New York (CUNY). There, policymakers adopted a proposal for “stream-lining” education by reducing composition course credits from four hours to three. The English depart-ment refused to enforce the policy. It’s clearly unjust that students get fewer credit hours than they paid for. CUNY students are prac-tically the definition of “at-risk” students. They’re often first-gener-ation students, recent immigrants, parents and the working poor. The policy adopted by CUNY administrators, known as “austerity,” is often advertised as a way to stream-line and save costs. In reality, it means students pay more for less and teachers get less pay for more work. At the Queensborough Community College, teachers are fighting for their students’ education. In retalia-tion for their brave and unwavering dedication, CUNY is threatening to shut down the entire department, denying students any English classes
at all. At the same time, CUNY said that they weren’t planning to reduce English classes after all: the policy was only a “worst-case scenario.” Similarly in Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel responded to strikers initially by offering better pay to teachers, but over the course of the strike has caved to nearly every demand made by the striking teachers and education professionals. From New York to Chicago, teachers are taking a stand for their schools and for students’ education. And by all measures, they’re winning that fight. When politicians who’ve never entered a classroom say that teachers need to work harder, that students need fewer resources and that schools need to cut back on wasteful spending like air condi-tioning, they now have to deal with the fight back from teachers. It’s not students vs. teachers. As we’re seeing, it’s teachers and students vs. politicians. Teachers want to teach, students want to learn, and politicians want to shut down schools. Whose side are you on?
Clinton McBride is an international studies senior. He can be reached at [email protected].
President Barack Obama has been making the rounds of college campuses, making much ado of some advice his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has been dispensing to students concerned about paying for college.
“Borrow from your parents,” Romney said at one event. Shop around, he coun-seled at another. And to one student he cautioned: “Don’t expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on.”
Nothing Romney has said is wrong. Parents with savings can be a great low-interest lending source. Students and families do have to be realistic about the price tag of the schools they choose. But neither are Romney’s prescriptions especially helpful.
Student debt has entered the polit-ical fray because there is so much of it. Its accumulated amount has topped $1 trillion, and stories abound of college graduates indentured by their loan payments. But not all college debt is created equal, and not all of it is a trap.
Total student debt has mounted not so much because students are borrowing more than they did a decade ago, but because more people are going to college. Despite the abject failure of state legislatures to uphold their commit-ments to public colleges and universi-ties, the average debt of someone grad-uating from a four-year state school is $12,300, according to the College Board. Ten years ago it was $10,700.
A graduate with the right major should be able to find work at a salary high enough to pay off that amount fairly expeditiously. And a college graduate is expected to earn $570,000 more over the span of a working life than someone with only a high school diploma.
The race to get into expensive private colleges has played a bigger role in driving up debt. The costs of attending
some of these schools is bumping up against $60,000 a year, and the average debt after four years is $18,300.
The biggest driver of student debt is the for-profit sector. This galaxy of universities, career colleges and tech-nical schools educates 12 percent of students who seek education beyond high school, but it accounts for 25 percent of federal student aid.
Ninety-six percent of for-profit students take out loans, and more than half of those who graduate from a four-year for-profit college owe $30,000 or more. For-profit colleges aggressively recruit students with few resources, offer them little in the way of financial aid and too often leave them with no leg up in the job market.
Don’t look to Romney for reforms. He has promoted for-profit schools at a couple of campaign stops. Obama’s administration has attempted to cut off federal grant money to for-profit schools whose students have poor records of repaying loans.
But any prescription for the student debt crisis has to start with reining in the for-profit sector. Pressure from consumers and politicians may serve to slow down the rising cost of college some. But we won’t be returning to the good old days when a college degree sometimes cost less than the family car. Practical advice, like what Romney dispensed, is fine as far as it goes.
He might want to add the wisdom of investing early in college savings accounts to his list of practical sugges-tions. But tough-love advice is no substi-tute for sound public policy. And on that front Obama is far ahead.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithme-tic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must 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
