UNT will be opening its own autism center in the fall semester to allow students, families and Denton residents to receive care and service for their specific autism spectrum disorder needs.

The center, set to open Sept. 1, will serve all age groups and will provide students with services such as diag-nostic testing and evaluation, special education for elemen-tary students, applied behavior analysis and behavioral therapyand family counseling, along with several others. The facility will be located near Outback Steakhouse on Interstate 35.

UNT Autism Center Director Dr. Kevin Callahan and his staff have been working since 1995 to open a facility where students, children and people of all ages could receive educa-tion, therapy and training.

“This facility will provide three pillars of services for our individuals: research, training for UNT students who are acquiring an education or psychology degree and specific

services for not only local indi-viduals with autism but also international students as well,” Callahan said. “We also have partners in Europe that need training in autism, which will be able to come to this center and receive that as well.”

Dr. Carol Hagen, director of UNT’s Child Development Laboratory, is readily antici-pating the opening.

“All of us in the College of Education are excited about the new Autism Center and the educational services it will bring to our students and the children it will serve,” Hagen said.

Callahan is in the process of hiring a staff of 20 highly trained and experienced

professionals. The center will be open to any individuals with needs, and Callahan is hopeful that scholarships will be avail-able for those who are unable to afford the fees.

“I believe UNT f inally accommodating individuals with specific educational needs is a fantastic idea,” education junior Ren Heitman said. “It’ll open so many doors for us.”

A donation from UNT alumna Kristin Farmer and her organization Autism Comprehensive Educational Services (ACES) helped the center become reality.

“This has been a long time coming,” Callahan said. “It’s kind of like a dream come true for me.”

UNT administration has enacted a new policy following a meeting in early February prohibiting camping on campus after problems arose with the Occupy Denton movement in the fall.

The new policy follows in the wake of Occupy member Darwin Cox’s death from “mixed alcohol and morphine (heroin) intoxication,” according to the toxicology report, on the UNT Denton campus in December.

The policy forbids sleeping outdoors between 10:00 p.m.

and 8:00 a.m., establishing or maintaining a temporary or permanent place for sleeping or cooking, establishing a perma-nent living quarters on univer-sity property and sleeping in or under any parked vehicle.

Denton City Council approves updated bike plan

NICOLE BALDERASSenior Staff Writer

The UNT System began looking at implementing changes to the current at-will employ-ment policy during the fall and a decision is expected to be made by the end of 2012.

If passed, the proposed policy would make it possible for staff members who are not under contract to be dismissed for any reason as long as it is not an unlawful one. The final decision will be made by a UNT System committee, which contains no one from the Denton campus.

“We will not consider any change that does not provide adequate safeguards for our employees,” UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson said. “I do not believe the UNT System will consider adopting what some have described as a ‘pure’ policy, which would be one that has no appeal process for employees and in which no causes for disci-plinary action are given.”

This policy will be a modified version of the one discussed in November, which stated “at-will employment status does not require an appeal process,” according to the UNT System website.

The Denton City Council was met with applause when it unani-mously passed an update to the pedestrian and bike amendment Tuesday night at Denton City Hall.

The updated plans call for rede-

signing of 70 miles of roadway over the next 10 years. Shared lanes and dedicated bike lanes will connect the busiest sections of Denton, including the UNT campus, the Denton Square and the A-train station.

The council chambers were filled with cycling enthusiasts,

environmentalists and students from UNT and TWU. The public waited three hours into the meeting before the public hearing began.

“I’m thrilled, I’m proud and I’m inspired,” said Amber Briggle, member of the Bike Plan Focus Group. “The citizens

did this. It was our passion, our dedication and stubbornness that pushed this through.”

The first year of the plan is funded by the city and two county commissioners with more than $200,000. Many supporters expressed concern that a lack of funding for the

plan could derail its implemen-tation.

“We have an operating [city] budget of $587 million this year. Two hundred-fifty thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket,” Briggle said. “I’m worried this [bike] money will be allocated elsewhere.”

Mayor Mark Burroughs lauded UNT’s efforts in adding bike racks and repair stations over the last six years.

“Without that commitment from UNT, I don’t see us getting as far as we have.”

Anthropology junior Payne Morris attempts to engrave a rock for the memorial he built for the late Darwin Cox at the former Occupy Denton site west of the Art Building. The 23-year-old non-student died of “mixed alcohol and morphine (heroin) intoxication” Dec. 6. “I come by every day on my way to class,” said Morris, explaining how often he rebuilds the memorial. Morris said Cox “was a link between the school and community.”

Prop. 8 backers seek review of gay marriage

case

SAN FRANCISCO — The backers of California’s same-sex marriage ban petitioned a federal appeals court Tuesday to review a split decision by three of its judges that struck down the voter-approved law known as Proposition 8.

Lawyers for the religious and legal groups that qualified the ban for the 2008 ballot had faced a Tuesday deadline for asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear the 2-1 deci-sion made two weeks ago.

Andy Pugno, legal counsel for the Protect Marriage Coalition, said the backers appealed to a bigger 9th Circuit panel instead of going directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The move means same-sex marriages will remain on hold at least until the 9th Circuit decides to accept or reject the rehearing petition.

“Generally speaking, we think the 9th Circuit as a whole deserves the chance to basically fix this because the decision is such an outlier, it’s really not representative of what the 9th Circuit’s thinking on this issue has been,” Pugno said.

Proposition 8 amended the California Constitution to outlaw same-sex marriages five months after the state Supreme Court threw out a pair of stat-utes that limited marriage to a man and woman. The proposi-tion was approved by voters in November 2008 with 52 percent of the vote.

Supreme Court to hear Texas affirmative action

case

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to hear a politically charged challenge to affirmative action at the University of Texas.

The court’s decision gives conservatives another chance to reconsider the use of race in college admissions, and further drives the court into the middle of the presidential campaign.

“It is time for the court to take another look at this area of the law,” said Joshua P. Thompson, a lawyer with the conservative Pacific Legal Foundation, which opposes the university’s affirmative action plan.

The court a lready is preparing to hear a chal-lenge in March to the Obama administration’s signature health care law. The affirma-tive action case will be argued during the next term, which starts in October, with the oral arguments perhaps occurring before the November elec-tion.

The Texas case arises from a challenge initially filed by Abigail Noel Fisher, a Caucasian woman who applied as an undergraduate to the University of Texas for the class that entered in the fall of 2008. Because she wasn’t in the top-10 percent of her high school class, she wasn’t guaranteed admis-sion under the state’s college policy.

Since then, workers on campus have been upgrading t he c h i l le d w ater lo op beneath campus, retrof it-ting the Chemistry Building, McConnell Hall and Chestnut Hall – among others – with chilled water modifications and Wooten Ha l l, Stova l l Hall and others with energy conserving motion-detector l ig ht s a long w it h ot her

Brief improvements and renova-tions.

The 20-year contract with Schneider Electric carries a price tag of more than $40 million, but the institution will see more than $3 million a year in savings for a total of $67 million in savings over the 20-year life of the contract, ac c ord i ng to t he Save /Measure/Achieve/Reduce/Track (SMART) project.

Randy Fite, senior director of facilities and construction, said construction and renova-tions for the SMART project are expected to be completed by February 2013.

“There’s a lot of pieces to it, but they [Schneider Electric] expect that contract to be complete about a year from now,” Fite said.

Andrew Harris, vice presi-dent for finance and admin-istration, said the university

would begin to see the savings after the project is entirely complete.

“You have two ends of the spec-trum as far as types of policy, but most universities don’t adopt an extreme,” Jackson said. “They have their own policies and safe-guards to protect employees, so a ‘pure’ at-will policy is not going to be used.”

UNT’s current method is a modified version of the at-will policy, which states that after completion of a probationary period, employees may be invol-untarily terminated for any lawful cause after going through certain procedural steps, according to the UNT System website.

“The problem with at-will is people think it is a capricious process, but as I understand it would bring staff more into alignment with what we’ve been doing with faculty,” said Warren Burggren, UNT provost and vice president for academic affairs.

If a decision in favor of the policy is made, each campus along with the System Administration

will develop individual poli-cies remaining consistent with those basic require-ments outlined by the System policy.

“The irony here is non-tenured faculty essentially are at-will employees and have been for decades,” Burggren said. “There is a very specific grievance process to go through, so faculty who are non-tenured can be dismissed in the context of that will.”

Recommendations and feedback are allowed from staff and faculty regarding the proposed policy.

“I think it can be a really positive thing if itís used in the right way, and I think its inten-tions are to clear out people who arenít as productive and need to be let go,” said Lara Ryba, secretarial assistant for the College of Arts and Sciences. “It scares me that if I had a co-worker who did not like me they could fire me on the spot, but at the same time the policy will make people work harder.” Forbids:

• Sleeping outdoors on campus between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.• Establishing or maintaining a temporary or permanent place for sleeping or cooking• Establishing a permanent living quarters on university property and sleeping in or under any parked vehicle• Students setting up a tent or outdoor structure on campus

Exceptions:• Students may set up a tent or outdoor structure for tailgating activities, events associated with approved university activities or in extraordinary circumstances

UNT’s new on-campus camping policy

OccupyContinued from Page 1

“T he pol ic y ha s been enacted to ensure the safety of students and our community,” said Maureen McGuinness, dean of students and assis-tant vice president for student affairs. “We definitely looked at protest movements around t he count r y, a nd lots of campuses enacted this policy. It’s all about keeping everyone safe.”

T he pol ic y states t hat students cannot camp out on university property, meaning no student is permitted to set up a tent or outdoor structure except under special condi-tions such as tailgating activi-ties, events in connection with approved university activi-ties which require overnight occupancy or in extraordinary circumstances like natural disasters.

“This is something that we’ve been discussing for a while,” McGuinness said. “We should have addressed it before, but t he pol icy

is enacted now. We’re now aligning our other policies with this one.”

Those other policies include the free speech policy, which makes the whole campus a free speech area and mandates only organizations that are sponsored by outside orga-nizations or use amplified sound to register for specific areas.

“Our university has always embraced diversity in all its for ms,” UN T spokesma n Buddy Price said. “This in no way changes that. The rights of students are very impor-tant to us. But then again, so is safety.”

A n t h r o p o l o g y s o p h o -more Mario Parga said the camping policy is justified, but if a student were to disobey the ban, they shouldn’t be punished in an extreme way.

“Personally, I believe that UNT as an entity could set up a camping ban,” he said. “But if someone were to not comply, I don’t think they should face any harsh treatment. The fact that Occupy started camping out kind of became a target for ridicule. Occupy taught us a lot.”

The faint smell of cigarette smoke permeates the air as customers browse through the mazes of history inside Vintage Warehouse on Locust Street.

Every nook and cranny of the renovated wedding shop, with its low ceilings and dim lighting, is teeming with everything from 19th century dishware to 1940s costumes. Each item in the store has been handpicked by the lively woman with spar-kling blue eyes walking the aisles and encouraging customers to “holler if you need me.”

“My mom and grandmother had an antique shop,” owner Joy Jenkins said. “I had antiques in my closet as a kid. They furnished my first house, and I hated it.”

The past 20 years say other-wise, as Jenkins has spent the time traveling across the country, collecting antiques and repur-posing them for shows such as Urban Market in Houston.

Once, a friend handed Jenkins a basket of seashells, and her artistic instincts took over. She arranged the shells to create textured, beachlike pieces to hang on the wall.

Her hoarding habits and inability to sit still inspired Jenkins to adorn a four foot

wide, eight foot tall mirror with trinkets she found hiding in her garage. The piece was put on display at the Fielder Gallery in Freeport, along with other works inspired by the original mirror.

“I love the style and the way she’s repurposed things,” said customer Sharon Barnhill, of Denton. “Most of the stuff here is made in the U.S.A., and I like the quality and uniqueness of older stuff.”

Vintage Warehouse is Jenkins’ first store and opened about two months ago.

She said she welcomed the idea of fellow collectors setting up shop nearby. It’s all a giant network to her, where collectors help each other find sources and learn about historic pieces.

“We’re out looking for what we want,” W. Douglas Antiques dealer Jodi Williamson said. “You definitely have to have knowledge of the merchan-dise and sources to buy from, but customers just love when you know what you’re selling them.”

Shoppers from all walks of life wander in to the store, each seeking original pieces to compliment individual styles, a mindset Jenkins believes is key to successful antiquing.

“Everyone does their own

Sharon Barnhill speaks with the Vintage Warehouse owner Joy Jenkins after making a purchase.

thing,” Jenkins said. “You either like something or you don’t, and nobody does the same thing.”

The free-spirited owner with the humble storefront said she has big plans for the shop’s future. She is currently working on transforming the sliver of land behind her shop into a garden with tea and chairs, beside a separate shed for garden items.

She also hopes to trans-form her home into a crafting retreat.

Jenkins tells everyone who walks in to make themselves at home. That’s exactly what she hopes to turn the cluttered shelves of history into.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute, especially when people come in and visit.”

Stressed students looking to take a breather from the rigors of college life may want to see if yoga – the 5,000-year-old physical and spiritual disci-pline involving breath control and holding poses – is right for them.

Most have heard about it and many have tried it, but some aren’t aware of the bene-fits of yoga to mental and physical health.

“I would recommend yoga to ever yone, but students specifically because I think it can do nothing but help them,” said Claire Weber, UNT alumna and certified yoga teacher. “When I taught college students at UNT, I noticed increased confidence in many of my students.”

Three years ago, Weber went to a yoga class a nd was instantly hooked. She quickly noticed feeling much more relaxed and optimistic.

“That’s really what yoga is about: learning how to navi-gate the mind, not turn it off,” Weber said.

She said practicing yoga can benefit college students because it relieves stress and increases f lexibility, strength

and circulation. Yoga also improves digestion and can be therapeutic for a myriad of issues, such as arthritis, lower back pain, headaches and menstrual cramps, Weber said.

“High stress situations, aka college, can leave the body in a constant state of fight or f light, which can in turn leave us feeling exhausted and depleted,” Weber said. “The

deep breathing, asana [yoga pose] practice and inward examination involved in yoga help to reverse this process.”

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e E nc ycloped ia Br it a n n ic a Online, yoga is one of the oldest surviving philosoph-ical systems in the world, orig-inating in ancient India.

The word yoga, from the Sanskrit word “yuj,” means to yoke or bind and is often

interpreted as “union,” or a method of discipline.

“I get strong in so many ways, and when teaching I get to see others discover their true goodness,” said Lisa Marshall, owner and instructor at Surya Center for Yoga in Denton.

Marshall has taught yoga since 2003 and has practiced it since 1998.

Weber says yoga is now predominantly practiced by

women, but was initially used by men as a method to seek enlightenment.

“I think it’s great that so many women have found yoga,” Weber said. “However, it is absolutely equally benefi-cial to men, and yoga is a daily practice for millions of men in India and Asia.”

Practicing yoga is benefi-cial to people of all ages and genders, Marshall said.

She said if students are interested in practicing yoga, they should take their time and start with a beginner class and a certified yoga instructor.

“Go at your own pace,” Marshall said. “It’s not a race, it’s a journey.”

The Pohl Recreation Center regularly offers yoga classes, and a UNT Yoga Club meets Wednesdays at 9 p.m. in Union room 412.

UNT ceramic artist mixes function with funHOLLY HARVEYSenior Staff Writer

Graduate student Valerie Banes wanted to be a photog-rapher until the day she found her true passion: firing clay in a 2,300 degree kiln.

Ba ne s ma ke s c olor f u l dinner and serving pieces that are both easy on the eyes and functional. She hand-crafts kitchen plates, bowls and cups that focus on bringing people together, she said.

“I love gett i ng f r iends together and having fun,” Ba nes sa id. “People r ush around a lot, and I want them to slow down and enjoy life through my pieces.”

Her work features sof t colors, quirky handles and designs that invite people to interact with the different forms, UNT ceramics lab technician Karen Hamilton said.

Banes went from photos to pots and vases after a ceramics professor inspired her to pursue the craft.

Now president of t he UNT Clay Guild, she enjoys the hands-on approach to ceramics, a grueling process of molding wet clay on wheels a nd br a i n stor m i ng ne w designs, she said.

“I make a lot of molds for my

pieces and basically whatever I can dream up,” Banes said.

The process of making a ceramic piece can last more than a month – it must be designed, molded, shaped, f i red, g la zed a nd f ina l ly re-fired, Hamilton said.

That often means a ceramics artist must plan out their schedule and every step of the way weeks in advance.

“There’s a lot of steps in the process from start to finish,” Hamilton said. “It’s easy for something to go wrong.”

Banes also makes her own uniformly designed cups, but designs all the pieces herself and mixes her own glazes for

specific colors. She uses spongelike tools to

clean up edges and etch her own designs.

Cracks present problems. It’s simpler to toss a cracked dish and start again than try and fix it, Banes said.

Banes, who will graduate in May, teaches beginning ceramics courses at UNT and plans to continue to teach and

sell her collections. “I would like to continue

to teach and inspire people,” she said.

Students hammer jewelry and set flat sheets of metal aflame in the labyrinthine studio at the heart of the Art Building, home to UNT’s metalsmithing and jewelry program, the largest of its kind in Texas.

Professors and students in

the program, which also offers the only metalsmithing master’s degree track in the state, said it instructs students in a variety of disciplines.

“If you think of all the older trades, such as black-smithing, silversmithing and goldsmithing, contemporary metalsmithing is the umbrella

that encompasses all those trades,” said Ana Lopez, assis-tant professor of metalsmithing and jewelry.

Metalsmithing senior Zachary Zorn had no idea he wanted to become a metalsmith prior to taking a class at UNT. Before his conversion to the art, he was a history major.

Metalsmithers thrive in state’s largest program“The fire was what really

attracted me to it,” Zorn said. “That, and you can manipulate a two-dimensional object into a three-dimensional one.”

When beginning on a piece, a metalsmith fires the metal of choice through a process called annealing, changing the mole-cules of the metal and making it easier to bend. Zorn compared it to bending a paperclip back and forth.

Instead of sitting in a lecture hall, class is almost always held in the studio.

Dangerous chemicals and equipment abound, and students are required to sign a waiver releasing UNT of any liability in the event of an injury.

“The most serious injury that a student’s ever had during one of my classes was a smashed thumb,” Lopez said.

Because the majority of students don’t have access to torches and power tools, they spend endless amounts of time in the studio working on projects for their classes.

Metalsmithing senior Kirsten Kulland said she is there every day, regardless of whether or not she has class. She said the average piece takes about 30 hours outside of class to complete.

“You’ll spend about two to three weeks working on one piece,” Zorn said. “The three-hour class time just isn’t enough. We used to have a couch in the back that we would sleep on.”

Loring Takao, who completed the master’s program in May 2011, works as a studio tech-nician for the jewelry depart-

ment at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.

“At UNT, I was able to delve deeper into the field and really focus on both the technical and conceptual aspects of metals,” Takao said.

As a graduate student, Takao had his work featured in the “Materials: Hard and Soft” exhibit at the Greater Denton

Arts Council as well as the Cora Stafford Gallery on campus.

For Kulland, metalsmithing means that she can make art using a medium that will last a lifetime.

“I can create pieces that can be passed on to my grandkids without having to worry about anything happening to it besides possibly rusting.”

As a student athlete who experienced the collegiate recruiting process, current USA bobsled team member and UNT Hall of Fame wide receiver Johnny Quinn felt there was something wrong with the traditional college recruiting process.

In his senior season at McKinney High School in 2001, Quinn led the 5A class in Texas with 80 receptions and was second in the state with 15 touchdowns, aver-aging 13.8 yards per catch. A f ter t he sea son ended, his family thought Quinn’s

Alumni creation provides options for lesser-known recruits impressive numbers would attract scholarship offers, but that was not the case. With just 48 hours left until National Signing Day, Quinn received a scholarship from UNT after making an effort to get himself noticed by the Mean Green.

“ T her e a r e no r u le s , according to the NCAA hand-book, that the athlete cannot init iate contact w it h t he college coach,” Quinn said. “Your future is ultimately up to you.”

From that revelation, Quinn created The Athlete Watch (TAW) last January. TAW is a website and organization

As the UNT swimming and diving team prepares to host its second Sun Belt Conference Tournament, the team will enter with plenty of confidence. The Mean Green has earned the No. 7 ranking in the CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Division Poll, the highest ranking in team history. Recent tournament history also favors the Mean Green, as UNT is fresh off its highest all-time at the Sun Belt Tournament last season. Where did the UNT swimming and diving team place at the Sun Belt Conference Tournament last season?

that works with the Michael Johnson Performance Center (MJPC), which gives high school athletes the opportu-nity to train at the facilities and send out training videos to various universities around t he count r y, which costs $97. TAW targets students who, like Quinn, don’t have national recognition coming out of high school.

Quinn partnered up with lon g t i m e f r ie nd D a r r e l Haswell, a UNT alumnus and current software engineer at IBM, to create a website for TAW. Ha swel l is t he lead programmer and lead designer of the site.

“My first impression of his [Quinn’s] idea was just … wow,” Haswell said. “This gives a lot of opportunity to a kid to get a scholarship out there, and this is something I see myself doing for a long run.”

Quinn emphasizes t hat TAW w il l not t r y to tr ick schools into giv ing young at h letes schola rsh ips. It provides the student athlete the tools to put their name out there and take control of their collegiate future.

“At the end of the day, the kids that want to play at the next level need film and have athletic ability,” Quinn said.

“We have pa rtnered w it h training facilities around the country and Europe, and with fully automatic laser timing, we give them [the athlete] an accurate time and representa-tion of their abilities.”

Quinn is an example of the system’s success. After being cut by two NFL teams and released by a CFL team after an ACL injury, Quinn worked his way back into shape and with the help of the MJPC sent out a training video that caught the eyes of the USA bobsled team.

“It’s real, and it’s credible. That is the best thing about Johnny and this website,” said

UNT Athletic Director Rick V i l l a r r e a l . “This is not s o m e o n e t r y i n g t o f ig u re out h o w t o make a quick buck. This is created by a young man that has worked as hard as anybody, and I think that’s why the site differenti-ates itself from other common services.”

The Mean Green women’s basketball team (14-13, 7-7) will travel to Arkansas on Wednesday night to play the second to last game of the regular season against the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans (15-12, 10-4).

The Trojans currently hold the first place spot in the Sun Belt Conference West Division, just ahead of Denver, while the Mean Green is currently tied for third with Louisiana-Monroe, who the Mean Green fell to in a 70-67 overtime loss last week.

The last time the two teams met, in late December, the Mean Green beat the Trojans 64-57. The game was UNT’s first victory over UALR since the 2005-2006 season.

“You have to have some

patience and discipline offen-sively to score against them,” head coach Karen Aston said. “Rebounding, turnovers, little things like that are going to make a difference in this game.”

Sen ior g ua rd Ta ma ra Torru finished the December matchup just shy of UNT’s

first ever triple-double. She set a career-high with seven assists and scored in double digits for the 10th time in the season. Torru has scored in the double digits eight times since that game, bringing her

career total to 32.“We know it’s going to be

a tough road game,” Torru said. “But we know that we can beat them. We have the players to beat them. We played pretty good defense against them the first time, and I think since then we had a little stretch of bad defense.

But we’re getting back to that good defense.”

In that same December game, junior forward Sara Stanley set a then career-high 13 points. Since Feb. 2, Stanley is averaging 15.8

points and 7.8 rebounds per game and now has a career-high of 21 points.

“I feel like [beating ULL] gave us a lot more confidence, and our defense was good,” Stanley said. “So we can bring that into our next game. I think the f low of our offense has gotten a lot better.”

Aston will travel to Arkansas as one of only two UNT head coaches to reach 100 career w ins while coaching the Mean Green. Aston’s 100th win came Saturday with the 78-40 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette.

“We‘ve got to do some work,” Aston said. “It doesn’t rea l ly matter who we’re playing at this point, we just have things we’re trying to get accomplished, and it just so happens Little Rock is one of them.”

Fans can listen to the game on KNTU 88.1 Wednesday at 7 p.m.

BRETT MEDEIROSSenior Staff Writer

The number is 23. I’m not referring to the

number on the jersey of the great Michael Jordan or a scary movie starring Jim Carrey, but instead the highest projected position that UNT freshman forward Tony Mitchell holds in NBA Mock Drafts.

After playing half a season that resembled a rollercoaster for the Mean Green, Mitchell is predicted to go in the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft, somewhere in the range of picks from 23 to 25, but none of that matters if the big man from Dallas decides to return for another year.

Like the rest of the student body, I hope to see Mitchell return to the Pit for the 2012-2013 season, but I wouldn’t blame him for taking a hand-some professional contract.

Last season’s No. 22 overall pick Kenneth Faried signed a f ive-yea r contract w it h the Denver Nuggets for $2.6 million, guaranteed with a $3.6 million two-year team option in the third and fourth year of his contract. Mitchell has been descr ibed as a “sleeper” in the 2012 draft and possibly even the best-kept secret in college basketball.

Consider the money, the recognition and the praise and then compare this season to next with Mitchell on the roster.

With Tony Mitchell and currently academically inel-igible freshmen guards Chris Jones and Jordan Williams, the Mean Green would be the No. 1 Sun Belt Conference team in the preseason polls.

The loss of t he pair of freshmen, particularly Jones,

has clearly affected the Mean Green since they were ruled academically ineligible in January. In the eight games UNT has played without the two guards, the team is just 4-4 and all but out of the division race for first place. A full season with Jones and Mitchell will put this team on the national map.

Look at Stephen Curr y, the current point guard for the Golden State Warriors. During his sophomore year at Davidson College, he took a relatively unknown team to the fourth round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, making Davidson one of the eight best teams in the nation that year. Curry returned for his junior year and although his team was not as good, he wanted to better prepare himself for the NBA, which made him the 7th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.

Mitchell is in the same situa-tion as Curry was at Davidson. I’m not saying he’s going to bring the Mean Green to the fourth round of the NCA A Tournament, but he he can better prepare himself for the big leagues. If Mitchell opts to return to the Mean Green next season, he will not only improve his draft stock, but he will have a chance to be a part of the most successful UNT men’s basketball team ever.

F r e s h m a n M c K e n z i e Ralston finished the UNLV Rebel Invitational t ied for 14th place Tuesday, leading the Mean Green women’s golf team to a seventh place finish out of 12 teams in its second tournament of the spring.

“It ’s a l it t le bit d isap-pointing,” head coach Jeff Mitchell said. “But I could see a difference from the end of the last tournament, they are angry, and that is a good thing.”

UNT, which started the f inal round in ninth place failed to beat any of the four top-50 ranked teams: No. 17 Arizona, No. 45 San Diego State, No. 48 Louisville and No. 47 New Mexico.

All of her teammates had at least one round of 9-over-par or higher.

For the second straight year, UNT will host the Sun Belt Conference Swimming & Diving Championships in Rock wa l l w it h what head coach Joe Dykstra called the best team the Mean Green has ever had.

The Mean Green is ranked the highest among mid-major schools as it has ever been, sitting at seventh overall in the CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Poll. The team also has four of the top times in the Sun Belt standings.

Dykstra said this team has been successful because of its chemistry and ability to perform wel l under pres-sure.

“Despite this not being a ‘team-ball’ sport, chemistry has a lot to do with success,” he said. “Everybody is going to face some adversity in the championships. Having real good team chemistry helps you get through those adverse moments.”

Preliminar y heats begin today at 2:30 p.m. with diving events, and the champion-ships conclude Saturday with the final 400-free race. UNT will compete during all four days of competition.

To abide by NCA A rules, the team is only allowed to take 20 of its 35 athletes to compete. Since divers can only score in two events while swimmers can score in seven, one diver counts as a third of a person, allowing the team to bring six divers along with 18 swimmers.

Team chemistry gives UNT chance at championships

Senior Rosa Gentile said this is the best team she has been on while attending UNT, and she feels the team can compete w ith Denver and Western Kentucky. Denver is ranked fifth overall among m id-m a j or s c ho ol s a nd Western Kentucky is No. 19.

“I think we are going to do rea l ly wel l,” she sa id. “We should come in second, at least, and that would be awesome. We’ve never gotten better than third. It would be cool to get that trophy. I’m excited.”

To prepare for the meet, Dykstra has let the team rest more than usual by not lifting weights for the last two weeks to help their muscles build back up. As a result, the team has focused more on speed in the water rather than condi-tioning.

To help simulate the cham-pionship meets, the team has gotten into the routine they will see in Rockwall. For the past two weeks, the team

Dykstra’s done a great job of preparing the team, • which should make it a two-team race between UNT and Denver.

UNT and Denver have similar teams. Look for • seniors Rose Gentile and Seabre Pope to provide leadership for the Mean Green both over the championship weekend.

Look out for junior Catia Weickgenant and • freshman Krista Rossum. Weickgenant has a top time in the Sun Belt in four events. She can swim well in speed and endurance events.

Sun Belt Success:

Seton Hall upsets No. 9 GeorgetownNEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Jordan Theodore scored a career-high 29 points to lead Seton Hall to the signature win it needed for its NCAA tourna-ment resume, a 73-55 victory over No. 9 Georgetown on Tuesday night.

The Pirates (19-9, 8-8 Big East) put on quite a shooting performance against one of the conference’s best defen-sive teams. They shot 61.0 percent (25 for 41), the best against the Hoyas this season and only the third time any team shot 50 percent or better. Georgetown (20-6, 10-5) came i n a l low i ng 38.4 percent shooting this season.

Theodore made all f ive of his 3-point attempts to lead Seton Hall, which finished 8 of 13 (61.5 percent), and that ca me aga inst a tea m t hat was a l low ing 27.6 percent f rom beyond t he a rc t h is season. The prev ious best ef for t f rom 3-point ra nge aga i n st G eor getow n w a s 44.4 percent by Marquette, the only time any team shot better than 40 percent.

The Pirates, whose best w in t h is season was over Connecticut on Jan. 3, have t wo ga mes rema i n i ng — Rutgers a nd DePau l — to solidify what would be their f irst NCA A tournament bid

since 2006.Theodore, who has talked

about making the tourna-ment for the first time since t he preseason, and fel low senior Herb Pope dominated the run that gave the Pirates a 58-40 lead w it h 7: 53 to play. They combined to score 10 of the Pirates’ 12 points in the run that gave them the 18-point lead.

Greg Whittington had nine points to lead t he Hoyas, who had won four of five and who would have clinched a f irst-round bye in t he Big East tournament with a win. Georgetown struggled offen-sively as well, finishing 19 of

47 (40.4 percent) from the f ield, including 5 of 15 from 3-point range. It was the first t ime this season the Hoyas failed to have a player reach double f igures.

The Hoyas won t he last two meetings and six of the la st seven aga i n st Seton Hall.

F u q u a n E d w i n a n d Brandon Mobley both had 10 points for Seton Hall, which led by as many as 22 points late in the game.

Theodore hit a 3-pointer and made two free throws in the f inal 1:20 of the f irst ha l f as t he Pirates took a 35-28 lead.

has had a warm up swim at 9:30 a.m., changed into their speed suits and swum races at 11:00 a.m., which is when the prelim races will be.

Dykstra said he looked at the stat sheet from last year’s championships and expects signif ica nt ly more points than the team scored last year. He knows the team will compete at the best level it has this entire season.

“We need to be great across t he board. We can’t have any slip-ups,” he said. “We need to compete all the way through. And to be honest, with Denver, it’s their meet to lose.”

Dykst ra sa id t he Mea n Green doesn’t need a ny “catastrophes” to happen to Denver, but a litt le luck wou ldn’t hur t t he tea m’s chances of getting first.

Even though he doesn’t expect youth and inexperi-ence to be a factor, Dykstra said the championship atmo-sphere will be nothing like

How do you feel about the Supreme

Court hearing a case against

UT in regards to affirmative action?

“If she didn’t meet the requirements, she should have

known why. She is probably just mad she didn’t get in.”

“I think it might have been her grades, I don’t think her being

white has anything to do with it.”

“Affirmative action is unconstitutional if it is the

reason she didn’t get it.”

Shake: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

According to the Center for Naval Analysis, more than 70,000 nonciti-zens, or about 4 percent of the United States military, served in the armed forces between fiscal years 1999 and 2008. These are Americans that are here legally. Residents who haven’t been granted citizenship but have chosen to serve the country they love.

A 1996 immigration law determined that legal residents in the process of becoming citizens after serving in the military could be deported if they commit any aggravated felony. The problem with this law is the broad

definition for aggravated felony, which can range from murder to theft to drug possession.

It is estimated that because of immi-gration policies like this, anywhere from hundreds to thousands of U.S. military veterans have been deported. The exact number can’t be determined because ICE officials don’t keep track of that statistic, but they claim they plan to start.

While some thought is given to the degree of prosecution on legal resi-dents that served in the military, this immigration law needs to go further to protect the rights of these individuals. This immigration law does nothing to reflect the valuable commitment that these people made to a country they

weren’t even citizens of. The Edboard hands a shake to the

ICE for its poor immigration policy in regards to U.S. veterans.

Nod: BikeDenton.Org

Since 2007, Bike Denton has pursued the goal of improving bike infra-structure around local roadways. On Tuesday, the city council approved a plan for $1.7 million in changes toward road design for 70 to 80 miles of Denton streets over the next 10 years to accom-modate bikes and pedestrians.

Not often do we hear about a strong local constituency locating a problem and then using the appropriate chan-nels to address that problem. However,

in this instance, Bike Denton has done an exemplary job of furthering its own cause. Through updates on the blog BikeDenton.Org, Bike Denton informed the public of ongoing govern-ment hearings and the issues being addressed. This involvement eventu-ally led to a unanimous decision by the Denton City Council in support of Bike Denton’s cause.

The plan will hopefully improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians on Denton streets as well as solve logistic problems in regards to traffic and parking.

This decision represents well-func-tioning local government at its finest and for that, earns a nod from the Edboard.

There was a barbershop, an inde-pendently owned corner store and a couple of bars. It was hard to find any bright, shining new neon signs bought by out of state companies. All of them were locally owned.

Fry Street was once a completely homegrown community whose business melded into the historic district rather than redefined it. The developments currently rising above the street should cater to unique local businesses rather than carbon copy multinational corpo-rations.

The city already has a plethora of options from the brands we are all inundated with daily. From University to Loop 288 to U.S. Route 377, large national restaurants, retail stores and coffee shops are open for your business.

I’m not saying they are all evil in some way. People need access to food, clothing and iPads, but there are good locations for big box brands, and bad ones. The shop-ping available on 288 with Golden Triangle Mall and the multitude of stores along the road provide a service.

Allowing corporations to occupy a historical landmark would do nothing for Denton’s character or charm. The Square is full of exam-ples of how independent people can create something new and different. Elm and Locust Streets are filled with businesses set in residential homes that stand in contrast to sterile, f luorescent strip malls.

Big Mike’s Coffee, Jupiter House, Recycled Books and the multitude of bars along Fry Street and the Square stand out for their service, passion and quality products. Do

you think we’d be better off with a Starbucks, a Barnes & Noble and a Buffalo Wild Wings?

Many of the owners of these places have deep roots in the city and the campuses and give resi-dents and students alike a comfort-able and inviting place to relax and be themselves. Banter and Art Six routinely showcase local art on the walls and aspiring music acts on their stages.

Downtown Denton and Fry Street do more than just trade green paper for stuff. They define the city’s attitude and cultural personality. Consideration should be given to who we want Fry Street to be.

Unfortunately, this call will most likely fall on deaf ears. Local beauty and creativity usually gets sidelined in the pursuit of profit. I can only hope that the new residents of our street ask themselves what keeps their neighbors in business. It isn’t hard to find the weird wonders of Denton.

For many students, a college degree means stable, long-term employment. They go to school with the intention of graduating and finding a nice, respectable posi-tion with a large company – the kind of job where you wear a suit, carry a briefcase and participate in meet-ings at giant, overly polished tables in high-rise conference rooms.

Of course, not everyone is an aspiring business professional, but even the artistic-minded gradu-ates with liberal arts degrees and no interest in joining the corporate rat race may find themselves looking for work with these giant corpora-tions, even if it’s contracted graphic design or video production work. After all, artists have bills just like everyone else.

However, these days giant corpo-rations might not offer the Holy Grail of jobs like they once did, and the jobs that are available might not be the stable, long-term positions that applicants seek.

I came to UNT as an 18-year-old aspiring filmmaker. It wasn’t until my senior year that I started to grasp the idea that I would have to find a “day job” after graduation. So today, more than a year after walking across that stage wearing a gown and a funny hat, I find myself working, albeit part-time, for a giant corporation, and after only a year, I’m certain that the corporate world is not for me.

Recall the line from “Office Space” when Peter says, “I have 8 bosses, Bob!” This is a spot-on example of the management structure of corpo-rations. There’s a hierarchy of bosses scattered all over the country, and nobody knows who is responsible

for what. If I have a computer issue at work,

I have to call the company’s internal technical support department. If I have a problem with my paycheck, I have to call the company’s payroll department. And if I need to take a day off work, I have to log on to the company’s intranet and submit a “time-off request,” which I’m almost certain gets sent to no one.

I can work hard and be a good employee, or I can do the bare minimum and be a mediocre employee, and I get the same result – there are no opportunities for advancement because the boss capable of making those decisions is in a different city and has never even met me.

My experience in the corporate world is just one example, and I’m sure there are lots of people who have had positive experiences working for giant corporations. But the 9 to 5 business world is not for everybody, and it’s definitely not for me.

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
