ANGELA K. BROWNAssociated Press

POSSUM KINGDOM LAKE, Texas (AP) — Kathy Lanpher was showing a property to a client when she heard the improbable, gut-wrenching news: A wild-fire like the one that destroyed her home four months ago was threatening the nearby subdivi-sion where she had relocated.

The real estate agent raced back to her condo, grabbed a few belongings and — hearing that flames had cut off the road to safety — headed to the marina, where she and dozens of fright-ened neighbors eventually made it to safety by boat.

The wildfire that started Tuesday in the Possum Kingdom Lake area — one of several in drought-stricken Texas and Oklahoma — had destroyed more than three dozen homes and scorched some 6,200 acres as of Wednesday. It had a long way to go before reaching the destructive heights of the spring blaze that lasted two weeks and

destroyed 160 homes here, but the late-summer blaze suggests Texas is dealing with its third yearlong wildfire season since 2005 — and its most severe.

“It’s become entrenched. It’s gotten to the point where normal rain events will have little posi-tive impact on the drought and consequently the fire danger. It’s going to take ... a weather pattern change,” Texas Forest Service specialist Tom Spencer said.

Texas is enduring its most severe drought since the 1950s, with bone-dry conditions made worse by weeks of triple-digit temperatures in many cities. Blazes have destroyed more than 5,470 square miles since mid-November, the typical start of the wildfire season.

Firefighters haven’t had much of a break this summer, even after various crews battled what turned out to be seven of the 10 largest wildfires in state history this spring.

Usually the wildfire season wanes in the spring because of

At Wednesday’s senate me et i ng , t he St udent Government Association passed a bill to raise its budget by $ 5,000 a nd revise the number of board members in the Eagle’s Nest organization.

In passing the bill, the SGA’s annual budget was increased from $158,009 to $163,216. The $5,207 i nc r e a s e w i l l not b e included in the associa-tion’s operating budget, but will be used in grants for students travelling to

The university’s population is quickly outgrowing the current union, calling for its renovation in the new UNT Master Plan.

“Recent legislation makes it a project where we can’t tear the building down,” Ritz said. “It would have to be a renovation or expansion or both.”

Earlier this month, UNT hired a consulting firm, Facility Programming and Constructing, to get students’ opinions about the changes they would like to see in a new, improved Union.

A public meeting is sched-uled for Sept. 16 in the Union to update the UNT community about the progress that has been made. Ritz said she expects the first designs for the Union to be revealed around October.

Any renovations or expen-ditures on the Union project will have to be approved by the Student Government Association in a student referendum.

Ritz said the architects hired with the $1 million have indicated they might present multiple designs for students to choose from on the refer-endum ballot, but the SGA has final say over how the vote is conducted.

“Whatever the decision, we have to have significant student input,” Ritz said.

rain, greener vegetation and higher humidity, weather experts said. But the state’s normally wettest months — April through June — were anything but this year because of the lingering La Nina weather condition that causes below-normal rainfall.

Spencer said the three year-long wildfire seasons are the only ones the Forest Service

has recorded, but there are no records from the droughts of 1918 and the 1950s.

The subdivision burned by Tuesday’s blaze was the only one in the Possum Kingdom Lake area left unscathed by the spring fire, and the exact number of homes destroyed was still unknown late Wednesday, officials said. Some streets were

left virtually untouched, with homes fronted by lawns that could double as putting greens, but others were reduced to rows of scorched stone fireplaces and twisted metal frames.

“It’s devastating, of course, and it’s going to take a while to get over, but we’re going to carry on,” Palo Pinto County Sheriff Ira Mercer said.

Lanpher said after she lost her home to the April fire, she moved into a nearby condo to be close to her real estate job. She had already received her insurance money and was reviewing house building plans while buying new clothes and furniture. The fire missed her condo Tuesday, but the danger had not passed as the blaze spread Wednesday over some cliffs and by a dam. The rough terrain along with strong winds and intense heat were making the fire more chal-lenging for firefighters.

Lanpher still hasn’t gotten over the first blaze, she said, her eyes welling with tears.

“Honestly, I was thinking, ‘I don’t think I can go through this again,’” she said Wednesday. “I have my moments and then I move forward, but I just can’t dwell on it yet.”

Mercer said that unlike April, when residents had to be told three or four times before they’d leave the area, those whose homes were threatened Tuesday left as soon as they were warned.

Flames blocked the road leading out of the subdivision and hemmed in a group of several dozen residents and law enforce-ment officers, so they turned back and escaped by boat on Possum Kingdom Lake, Mercer said. It took about six or seven trips, but everyone escaped safely, even if some of them left with frayed nerves, he said.

“A little old lady was just shaking. These people were leaving with just the clothes on their backs, and they don’t know what’s going to happen to their homes and their stuff,” Mercer said.

Blake Windham, SGA presi-dent, said he expects the Union referendum to go before students sometime during the upcoming spring semester. At the first SGA meeting of fall 2011, however,

Windham expressed concern than the SGA currently only has 17 members. Windham said at least 30 senators are necessary in the student senate to pass a student referendum.

“There’s a problem when there’s 45 senate seats and we struggle to have 17 senators here,” Windham said. “We need 30 people to even talk about a referendum.”

academic seminars or confer-ences, SGA President Blake Windham said.

In the past, the Eagle’s Nest board has consisted of three members: one director and two members. The director and members are appointed by the president and approved by members of the senate. The rev ision changed the number of members from two to four, therefore increasing the total number of members, including the director, from three to five.

“I wa nted more people to be involved and have a say,” Windham said of his reasoning behind increasing the number of Eagle’s Nest members.

Eagle’s Nest is an internal program by the SGA through which university-registered student organizations can submit applications to get money for specia l events. Eagle’s Nest has $60,000 it can distribute, $5,000 of which

comes from the SGA each semester.

Windham said he believes the appointment process of the Eagle’s Nest board does not give the executive branch too much power because two branches of government are involved: the president and the senate. Although Windham appoints the members, they must be approved by the senate. The president does not attend the Eagle’s Nest hearings, Windham added.

T h e a s s o c i a t i on a l s o considered a bill concerning spending changes, which it tabled to be discussed at a later meeting.

In the SGA bylaws, Article V II, sect ion II reads, “A l l discretionary expenditures over $400, not included in the approved budget must be approved by the Senate in legislative form.” In the tabled bill, the $400 figure was increased to $800.

The bottom � oor of the University Union currently houses the One O’ Clock Lounge and the Campus Chat. A multi-million dollar renovation is planned for the structure.

CORRISA JACKSONStaff Writer

Dozens of eager hopefuls audi-tioned for the chance to become members of the UNT Glee Club Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in the Silver Eagle Suite.

The club, a musical performing group based on the popular Fox TV series “GLEE,” was formed last fall and held shows in December and May.

UNT Glee Club president Kendall Butler said the organi-zation offers an outlet for people who want to be on stage but may not be involved in other music programs.

Butler said UNT alumnus Jose Coira was inspired to start the club after becoming a fan of the TV show, in which high school students perform adaptations and dance to popular songs. Coira wanted to replicate the experi-ence for music-loving students on campus, Butler said.

He said the Glee Club is primarily a performance oppor-tunity for non-music majors.

“My personality, I think it fits well with Glee Club,” Butler said. “I like to bring out the best in people.”

Lindsay Harris, a psychology sophomore, said she joined Glee Club last fall. She met Coira at her freshman orientation and was

inspired by his passion for the group, she said.

Harris said she was nervous before her audition, and after-ward she was unsure if she would get in. Two days later, she received a phone call and learned she was accepted.

“I was dancing in my room and ended up tripping because I was so excited,” Harris said.

The UNT Glee Club performs mostly Top 40 hits, she said.

“We’ve sung everything from Gaga to the Beatles,” Harris said. “We do a good mix of every-thing.”

The auditionChris Portley, a performing

arts sophomore, learned of the auditions from a poster in the University Union.

At first, he wasn’t sure about auditioning, he said, but he made up his mind to try it out.

“Something was telling me to go for it, see what it’s all about,” he said. “And my mom is a big fan of ‘Glee.’”

Portley said he has been singing since childhood.

“If I wasn’t singing, I don’t know what I’d be doing,” he said.

Pre-audition jitters weren’t lost on Portley, as he said he felt nervous and anxious to get it over with.

“If I get in, I’ll be grateful,” he said. “I’ll ride out the expe-rience.”

Brittany Hayden, a commu-nication design freshman, audi-tioned to be a dancer.

Hayden said she heard about Glee Club from her sister, and her love for dance inspired her to try out.

“It’s the one thing I can do that no one is judging me on,” she said.

Advice for next semesterHarris said she thinks most

people are drawn to auditioning for the Glee Club because of the TV show.

Butler said those wanting to try out should give everything they have in their audition.

“Put your best foot forward. It’s really competitive getting it,” he said. “Show your personality.”

Harris echoed Butler’s state-ment and gave her own advice.

“Don’t worry so much if you can sing or dance,” she said. “Worry about your commit-ment. That’s what we push you through.”

The results will be announced by Friday, Butler said. The group will hold performances throughout the semester, but dates have not yet been deter-mined.

If you walk into the Media Library in Chilton Hall this semester to a roomful of students playing video games, you’re not lost; it’s just game night.

In addition to “Game On!” the open-gaming night, the Media Library hosts film nights throughout the semester with various topics, such as feminism and linguistics.

Kim Stanton, head of the Media Library, said they wanted to provide students with activ-ities that student groups were interested in.

“We like working with other academic groups or departments in a way that’s engaging,” she said. “It’s an activity that we can help support.”

Amanda Beamon, a social work junior, said this is the first year she’d heard about “Game On!,” but would love to attend the event to see what it’s all about.

“I grew up playing videogames

with my brother and I’m a very competitive person so I would definitely like to give it a try,” she said.

The first event, “Doc Spot,” begins on Sept. 6. It’s a weekly screening of documentary films that cover things like politics and current events that’s been going on for the past five or six years, Stanton said.

“We do screenings of docu-mentaries that we think are rele-vant to subjects students would be interested in,” she said.

Christina Perez, a library science graduate student, said she enjoyed attending the documen-tary night when she had time.

“The stuff they show is really interesting,” she said. “It gives students a chance to experience different subjects and introduces them to new ideas.”

In addition to their gaming night, Stanton said the library will participate in the national Gaming Day this November at an open event at Willis Library.

“The media library began collecting videogames three years ago to support the faculty that are either teaching with or about videogames,” Stanton said.

“We also recognize there’s a recreational aspect to it, so we decided to host an event where students can come play with a group of friends.”

Three of the other events are films that university depart-ments have chosen to screen in the library.

“Fem Flicks” are documenta-ries that are about women’s issues and are followed by a speaker who is an expert in a film’s topic. The film series will also feature a “Muslim Cultures” series and a “Linguistics in Motion” series. Screening dates for these events are to be determined later in the semester.

The Media Library is located in Chilton Hall 111. For more information or a full schedule of events visit http://www.library.unt.edu/media.

The UNT Art Gallery in the Art Building will have a reception at 5 p.m. today for the “Beneath Cognition” exhibit. The exhibit, which is a part of the “Fine Arts Series,” will feature works from three artists in various mediums.

The pieces on display span a variety of mediums such as digital photography, painting, animated drawings, clay, sewing and video animation. The exhibit began Tuesday and ends Oct. 1. Two of the artists, Lee Renninger and Carey Roberson, will speak at the reception, which will be from 5-7 p.m.

Seven pieces by Roberson are on display. He said he’d worked on some of the gallery paintings for as long as three years and draws inspiration comes from the world around him.

“A lot of inspiration comes from family, life in general and my perspectives on religion and everyday life.”

T houg h cu r rent ly a professor of art at the University of Arkansas, Roberson received a B.F.A. at Henderson State University and a master’s in photog-raphy at Louisiana Tech University. He uses skills from both degrees in the exhibit, combining paint and photog-raphy in the works.

Lee Renninger lived in Gulfport, Miss., in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina destroyed her home and much of her artwork. The losses lead her to create a series of works based

on leaving material possessions behind.

The dresses she makes are created with clay, porcelain and textile materials. They cascade to the ground, which Renninger says is symbolic.

“To unwind and represent that act of leaving behind the idea of excess,” she said.

Jennifer Levonian has four animations on display at the exhibition. As a new mother, she said her process on films is changing.

“I used to be able to spend the

entire weekend in my studio. I definitely have to be more effi-cient when I get the chance.”

She said her animations are actually a lot of paintings that are strung together in film with audio added – a process known as cut-paper animation.

“[The films] are always an element of social critique, some humor, a little bit of longing or missing and are autobiograph-ical in subject,” Levonian said, referring both to the themes as well as her appearance her in many of the films.

UNT receives boost with four new membersIan JacobyIntern

As America’s premier tennis event, the U.S. Open, continues in New York, the UNT tennis team has started practicing and head coach Sujay Lama’s excitement for the new season is almost palpable.

“This team offers something we didn’t have last year, and that’s depth,” Lama said. “We have eight strong players we’re comfortable with.”

A big part of the Mean Green’s newfound depth will come from the addition of four new players, who Lama said could bump UNT to a nation-ally competitive level.

“With this team I’d like to go beyond the Sunbelt, to the NCAA Sweet 16.” Lama said.

Among the team’s addi-tions are freshmen Kseniya Bardabush and Franziska Sprinkmeyer and two trans-fers, Valentina Starkova from the University of Arkansas and Ilona Serchenko of McNeese State University.

With these new players comes a n inf lu x of f resh sk i l l set s . Spr i n k me yer, who wa s compet it ive i n Germany’s third tier league, Reg iona l iga, br ings what Lama calls a “calmness” to t h e c o u r t . C o u p l e d w it h her menta l cont rol is her height of 5 feet 10 inches that creates tremen-dous power and physical shot-control, Lama said.

UN T’s ot her f resh ma n player, Ba rdabush, was a Top 30 women’s player in the Ukraine and peaked at fifth nationally for her age group. Lama said competing and practicing at the collegiate level would only improve Barbadush’s game.

Barbadush said helping UNT win a Sun Belt Title is her goal for her freshman year.

Upperclassmen bring experience

The Mean Green will also gain two players who have witnessed their fair share of sets and serves when its trans-fers begin play.

Serchenko comes to Denton as a junior from McNeese State, where she ended the 2011 season as the sixth ranked player out of the No. 1 singles slot in the Southland Conference.

The transfer was also named the 2011 Cowboy’s team MVP. Serchenko said she already notices differences between UNT and McNeese.

“The coaching is much more involved here,” she said. “I feel much more focused on perfor-mance and success.”

Rounding out the class is junior Starkova, who Lama said brings a multitude of talents with SEC experience and a flaw-less work ethic.

After achieving a No.106 international ranking as a junior player in her native Kazakhstan, Starkova assembled a record

of 22-15 in her first two years of college, even beating Mean Green players Amy Joubert and Paula Dinuta last year.

“I’m extremely pumped t o c o n t r i b u t e t o t h e s u c c e s s o f t h e t e a m ,” Starkova said. “Every confer-

ence is competitive, but my SEC experience will hopefully give me an edge against the Sunbelt.”

As part of an unusually hot summer in North Texas, the average high temperature during August in Denton has been 103 degrees, nine degrees higher than the city’s average high for the month.

Football, soccer teams adapt to hot weatherScorching, record-breaking

weather left Denton parched all summer and the UNT foot-ball team and women’s soccer team are still dealing with it almost every day.

The women’s soccer team has felt the heat beat down on it in two Sunday afternoon home games, with average highs of 103.

“I think practicing in the heat these last few weeks has really helped us,” women’s soccer head coach Joh n

Hedlund said. “You could tell Grambling was just dying in the second half and we looked strong and ready to go.”

In its first home game of the season on Aug. 21 against Oral Roberts, UNT took a 2-1 lead late in the game, but allowed ORU to tie the game and force two scoreless over-time periods. After the tie, the heat was a big topic of discus-sion.

“I think the enemy [against ORU] was where we had a

Temperatures change their

approach

tough time battling the heat,” Hedlund said. “[ORU] handled better than what we did.”

With a road game against Texas Southern and home game against Grambling State under its belt since the opener, Hedlund said the team is doing its best to adapt to the heat.

“I think we’ve adjusted to it well because we’ve prac-ticed all week in it, and I think we did a lot better [against Grambling] than we did in the first game, so we’re getting better at it ,” sophomore defender Kelsey Hodges said.

The Centers for Disease Cont rol a nd P revent ion recently published a report saying that most high school athletes are sidelined because of heat-related illnesses. Most of the athletes are football players who practice for the upcoming season in t he August heat.

The UNT football team has yet to play a home game, but the team has been practicing in it a little longer than its soccer counterparts.

Mean Green head football coach Dan McCarney said the team hasn’t changed its work output, but coaches are stressing for players to stay hydrated.

“It’s education about being hydrated, it’s a great training staff, great strength staff. We’ve all done a great job staying on them,” McCarney said. “We got the chug rug set up by the Powerade – you step on it, you’re going to chug.”

McCarney said the team has not experienced cramping or any other heat-related inju-ries.

Along with its new stadium, the football team has gotten new equipment to combat the heat, which the soccer team has benefitted from.

“Football got new misting fans, so I got their old fans, so we’re lucky there,” team trainer Megan Burki said. “We have to focus a lot to make it an even bigger priority to keep the girls hydrated.”

Sophomore Tiana Bateau of Grambling State University is assisted by a trainer dur-ing the 100-degree heat at the Mean Green Soccer Complex on Sunday afternoon. UNT athletes are taking extra precautions to stay healthy in the summer heat.

three games at home at the Mean Green Soccer Complex, the women’s soccer team can escape the heat, playing just two of its next six games at home. Both games will start at 7 p.m.

The football team will get in on the act Sept. 10, when it officially christens Apogee Stadium with its first game against Houston. Kickoff will be at 6 p.m.

T.Y. Hilton (FIU) vs. UNT Secondary

FIU’s star senior wide receiver and return spe-cialist is the reigning Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year. UNT’s defense, especially its secondary, must find a way to contain FIU’s No. 1 threat in order to slow down the Panthers offense.

Key Matchup

T.Y. HILTON

“We’ll have to play with relent-less effort,” Phillips said. “T.Y. Hilton is a big part of their offense. We’ll be better off if we keep the ball out of his hands.”

Each team will debut new tactics on the field. McCarney will display UNT’s overhauled playbook while FIU will debut its new defensive coordinator Todd Orlando, who joined the Panthers coaching staff after 12 seasons with UCONN.

UNT senior running back Lance Dunbar will need to improve on last year’s performance for the Mean Green to leave with a victory. Dunbar was held to a season-low 30 yards rushing when the teams met in 2010.

Football season begins

Thursday’s game starts at 6 p.m. and will be broadcasted on ESPN3.

A free watch party will be held at Apogee Stadium.

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.

Dance students perform “The Itch,” choreographed by dance senior Anna Olvera, at a rehearsal for the New Choreogra-phers Concert.

BY TARYN WALKERIntern

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.

After traveling almost 5,000 miles to compete across the Atlantic, UNT volleyball assistant coach Sarah Rumely hopes to bring a new perspective on the sport to a team in Denton.

The 23-year-old got her volleyball career started in the United States, becoming one of the nation’s best setters while playing at the University of Kentucky.

The SEC Player of the Year in 2009, she currently owns the Wildcats’ all-time records for career assists with 5,703 and 165 aces, along with ranking among the Top 10 in Kentucky histor y in digs, attack percentage, blocks and sets played. Rumely earned her degree in exercise science from Kentucky in 2010.

After college, Rumely took her ta lents to the internationa l level and played with Nantes Volley Féminin in France for 10 months, acquiring a new skill set from the European game.

brings overseas knowledge

to team

“The style of the game is much different internation-ally,” Rumely said. “When you mesh them together, [volley-ball in the United States and international volleyball] it really helps me be a better coach.”

Along with bringing exten-sive volleyball knowledge to UNT, Rumely trains the setters on the team and actively participates in practice to

demonstrate techniques and strategies.

Less than two years older than some of the players, one of Rumley’s strengths is her ability to relate to members of the team.

“I always look for diver-sity,” head coach Ken Murczek said.“ You don’t want to have too many people with the same qualities, and Sarah was fortunate enough to have a successful college career as well as playing interna-tionally; it adds a different perspective to the game.”

Senior libero Sarah Willey said she is excited to see what Rumely brings to the team.

“She [Rumely] brings a whole new level. I know our setters are receiving the best training possible, and I am excited to see how she helps the team grow,” Willey said.

In any sport, there are supporting casts for a team’s head coach who make every-thing happen behind the scenes. Serving this role to head coach Ken Murczek is UNT volleyball assistant coach Diego Castaneda.

Born in Bogota, Columbia, May 31, 1985, Castaneda started playing volleyball in high school and took a couple of years off in college until he started competing with club volleyball teams at Baylor University.

Eventually, a new invest-ment in the sport led to a job with the Baylor volley-ball team as an assistant manager.

During his time with the Bears, BU reached the Sweet 16 in the 2009 NCAA Nationals.

“UCLA had never lost at home that season and [beating UCLA] that was definitely something I would never forget,” Castaneda said.

While at Baylor, Castaneda met with Murczek multiple times when Murczek was part of the Kansas volleyball program. The two knew each

other for about four and a half years before they joined forces at UNT.

“I was eager to start my coaching career and when I looked at the team’s profile, I realized this was an amazing opportunity,” Castaneda said. “Once he asked me to help out I couldn’t resist. The offer was

too good to pass up.”Recently, Castaneda worked

as an assistant coach and tech-nical coordinator for the U.S. women’s national team known as the A2 Blue Team, which consisted of collegiate players from across the country.

“It was a very high-level team,” Castaneda said. “It was a real joy and experience to be around those kinds of players for that long.”

Castaneda’s job as assistant head coach consists of working with the team’s middle blockers and analyzing statistical and video content of opponents.

“His knowledge of being around volleyball in the Big-12 goes back so many years and he was fortunate enough to have a lot of success there,” Murczek said. “He can take an oppo-nent’s film and break it down to give us a huge advantage.”

The 2011-2012 schedule for the UNT women’s basketball team was released Wednesday evening.

The Mean Green will open its season Nov. 11 on the road against UT-Arlington. It will be

the first time in four years the crosstown rivals have met.

UNT’s first home game will be Nov. 14, when the Mean Green hosts non-conference opponent New Mexico.

UNT will host 13 games at the Super Pit, including non-confer-ence matches against SMU and

Alabama, the first Southeastern Conference team to visit the Super Pit since LSU in the 2002-2003 season.

The Mean Green will play 15 road games and a December tournament in Houston. The slated road games include non-conference foe Oregon State –

to be played in Houston – Arizona and Texas.

“I t h i n k t h e n o n -con ference schedule will prepare us

for the rigors of the Sun Belt, which continues to get stronger and stronger,” head coach Karen Aston said in a press release. “Even though it is a very tough schedule, I believe our players and fans love the challenge and will enjoy seeing highly competi-tive basketball.”

The schedule contains 13 games against teams that made WNIT or NCAA Tournament appearances last season.

The Mean Green will wrap up the regular season when it travels to Hot Springs, Ark., from March 2 to 5, for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.

UNT spending on the right track

Gates money could be used elsewhere

Courthouse curfew is a disappointment

Editorial

Later this year, UNT will begin renovating the much-ignored Science Research Building. The project is a $12 million investment into helping the univer-sity reaches its goal of being recognized as a Tier 1 research institute.

The planned changes to the Science Research Building are a part of a five-year plan, which also includes scheduled renovations to the University Union.

Although the bottom-line figure sounds like a hefty investment, The Editorial Board believes it is a commit-ment to excellence when it is needed more than ever.

This year’s freshmen class has higher SAT scores than the students that preceded them by a five percent margin and UNT’s admission office now accepts every one in three applicants. Enrollment is expected to reach an all-time high this fall. By 2016, the univer-sity hopes to cap enrollment at 45,000 students. Any money spent in expansion will provide better oppor-tunities for future students.

Within the past year, students have also seen how bright the future can look when money is spent in planning and development.

In October, the 87,000 square-foot Life Sciences Complex opened in order to accommodate its rapidly growing research in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and plant science. Construction on a 1,200 square-foot Zero Energy Research Laboratory in Discovery Park began in June. The Zero Energy lab will allow students to conduct research with sustain-able technologies and will be a valuable asset to the engineering school.

Just recently, UNT approved plans for to create the first pharmacy school in the North Texas area. The pharmacy school is meant to be a collaborative effort between each UNT campus together to entice pre-phar-macy to study in Denton and finish their pharmacy at the Health Science Center in Fort Worth.

An estimated $9 million will need to be gener-ated` over the next five years in order to complete the project. If UNT continues to spend where it matters, alumni and potential-donors alike will also see why it is worth contributing to UNT.

Welcome freshmen, transfers and all-around newcomers to Denton. Let me show you to the cultural focal point of our fair town, the Courthouse and lawn of the historic Square. Oh, but make sure you don’t stay past midnight; it closes now.

As if Denton County decided to be our overbearing parents, it has enacted a curfew from midnight to 6 a.m. on the hallowed grounds of the Courthouse and its surrounding lawn. The lights in the trees flipped off, the monument that inspired famed Denton architect O’Neill Ford shuttered, and the grounds emptied, all because some bozos broke a window and sprayed some paint. Yes, a few punk kids actually took to marking up those beautiful

trees and marbled stone.Now do not get me wrong,

we need to protect our city, but closing the tranquil meeting grounds of thousands of Denton residents for the night does not do so. Consider this: how often do you see police patrolling the Square at night? Not so much. Now think about how often one is to see our police officers and their campus counterparts spending their evenings around Fry Street issuing public intoxi-cation and driving-while-intox-icated citations. There is a bit stronger presence there, and rightly so.

The nightlife of Denton beyond Fry is firmly rooted around the Square, Courthouse and its lawn, if not for a few rad house parties here and there.

The clubs, bars and venues are packed night-to-night with merry patrons of the arts, drink and camaraderie.

Thus, for this relatively peaceful area, would it not be more beneficial to the state of the courthouse and the lawn for there to be more people around it? After all, if you were to see someone defacing the pride and joy of your town, wouldn’t you say something to the miscreant and put a stop to it? We as a city and county should be encour-aging our populace to experi-ence, share and take care of our Square, not turn people away for the lateness of the hour.

If nothing else, as evidence of the defamations in the local paper has proven, they are minor, and easily cleaned.

Why doesn’t the county hire someone to clean these little tags up? I’m sure someone could use the job, right?

For the 10th anniversary of September 11, the University of North Texas has decided to bring former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to come speak for the Distinguished Lecture Series. Gates will give us his opinion on what has changed since the tragic events that took place on that day. He will be paid $108,000, which includes $33,500 for travel expenses.

Yet while we are paying for Gates’ private jet, our professors are being forced into early retire-ment, the number of Internet courses has risen to replace those missing professors, tuition has increased by more than 200 percent in the last eight years and our class sizes are growing.

According to the Dallas Morning News, 60,000 Texas

students will lose their financial aid by 2013 because of the budget cuts incurred during the last legislative session. More than 70 percent of UNT students are able to attend this university through financial aid.

Now, let’s ask ourselves: is this the best way we can spend $108,000? That’s about enough tuition for 40 students this semester.

We are paying to have a man who barely evaded prosecutions in the Iran-Contra scandal come speak at our university. In the late 1980s, Gates was deputy director of the CIA while agents of the US sold weapons to Iran (our supposed enemy), using the cash from those sales to fund Contra death squads in Nicaragua, who in turn sent

cocaine to the United States on CIA airplanes. According to the Independent Counsel investi-gating Iran-Contra, Gates “was close to many figures who played significant roles in the Iran-Contra affair and was in a posi-tion to have known of their activ-ities.” After all of that, he was made director of the CIA.

Gates left the CIA when Bill Clinton came to office in 1993. For 13 years he became a well-connected renaissance man who worked in academia, corpo-rate boards of defense and CIA contractors, investment banks, mining companies and an elec-tronic voting machine company. Then in 2006, he was appointed secretary of defense, helping to design and implement the escalation of the Iraq War, also

known as the “surge.” In a move meant to show

bipart isanship, President Obama kept Gates on after his election and put him in a posi-tion to lead the escalation of the Afghan War.

I ask that the Distinguished Lecture Series stop paying outrageous speaking fees to far-right politicians and bureau-crats like George W. Bush and Robert Gates to come speak at our university. If they decide to continue, hopefully they will at least get Noam Chomsky or Naomi Klein to come speak to keep the balance.

A new state law will require students new to a college under the age of 30 to be vaccinated for

meningitis beginning in Jan. 2012.

Former U.S. Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, paid $108,000 to speak at UNT.

Lily Taylor We did this back in 2000 at an other school. It was a good thing, b/c a few people got meningitis that year, but it didn’t spread beyond that.

Elizabeth Garza Idk what the big hoopla is over this. Way back then, you were required to get vaccinations for elemen-tary, middle, and high school before you could attend. Being in a larger school with more people, there’s a greater chance for infection. Meningitis is a nasty infection and I don’t think anyone wants to try and vouch different by contract-ing it. I’m quite glad UNT is doing all it can to ensure its students remain safe.

Illiana Vs Great! I heard him speak as A&M’s president, but would love to hear his take on events since he left academia. And UNT is doing a good thing by inviting anyone to speak here, no matter what side of whatever coin you choose--it’s how we keep our minds and dialogues open.

Rebecca GetEqual Barber Disgusting. No one should be paid that much simply to give a speech. I don’t care what the event is, UNT needs to start thinking about what students want. The best option would be to stop getting political speakers. Gates was one of the peo-ple who advised Bush to invade Iraq and Iran, and for that, no matter who else he worked under, I refuse to support him. It’s a shame UNT appears to support this needless war.

The resignation of Silicon Valley’s rock star CEO, Steve Jobs, comes as a loss for Silicon Valley. But it’s also a loss for the nation, which is in desperate need of entrepreneurial lead-ership to get us out of this economic slump.

The Valley has had some true titans, and Jobs, with his unpar-alleled talent for marrying tech-

nology, design and entertain-ment, stands alongside them.

The iPhone isn’t Dick Tracy stuff. It’s way beyond what anyone dreamed of even five years before it was invented. An attractive, sleek phone, music player, book reader, television, video library and so much more — in the palm of our hands. This is the very definition of genius.

Jobs knew failure as well as he did success. He was unceremo-niously removed as chairman of Apple in 1985. But he learned from that failure and, in true Silicon Valley fashion, returned with a flourish, dreaming up product after cool product that screamed to the world, “Can you top this?” Apple has become its own industry.

Jobs closed his letter of resig-nation to the Apple board by saying, “I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it.” The Valley and the nation can only hope that is true.

A version of this editorial appeared in the San Jose Mercury Sun on Aug. 25.

Steve Jobs’ resignation a loss for allHere’s what our Facebook fans had to say about recent stories in the NT Daily

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
