Faculty and students at UNT’s epidemiology laborato-ries are researching how to best respond to disease disasters and prevent outbreaks from wreaking havoc.
Epidemiology is the study of the control and circulation of diseases. Researchers at the Computational Epidemiology Research Laboratory (CERL) and the Center for Computational Epidemiology and Response Analysis (CeCERA) are working to create detailed models of how infectious outbreaks such as malaria occur and how to respond effectively to disease emergencies, according to computer science and engi-neering graduate student Jorge Reyes-Silveyra, who works at CERL.
“Our role would be to create models that are capable of telling people what an outbreak can look like and to help in the decision-
making,” Reyes-Silveyra said.Computer models use vari-
ables such as the type of disease and the period of time that a disease is infectious in a human to model how an outbreak spreads. Variables such as gender and the strength of an immune system can affect how people are
infected, Reyes-Silveyra said.“If two people get the same
disease, they may react very differently,” Reyes-Silveyra said. “One might not even get sick, and the other may be in bed for 10 days.”

For the second consec-utive offseason, the Mean Green will begin a nation-wide search to find its next women’s basketball head coach after UNT Athletic Director Rick Vi l larrea l accepted the resignation of Karen Aston on Tuesday, effective immediately.
On Tuesday, Texas intro-duced Aston as its fourth women’s basketball coach in program history.
“I would like to thank North Texas and everyone involved in the program for giving me the tremen-dous opportunity to coach the Mean Green,” Aston sa id in a statement. “I will always be grateful to Rick Villarreal and [UNT President] V. Lane Rawlins for giving me the chance to coach and be around a great program with great
kids. North Texas is a special place that I will always hold dear to my heart, and I wish them nothing but success and the best moving forward.”
Aston was introduced as the UNT women’s head coach last April after Shanice Stephens
was relieved of her duties March 17.
In her only season as head coach, Aston guided the Mean
Green to a 15-16 record. T h e t e a m w e n t 5 -2 5 in Stephens’ final season in the 2010-2011 season.
U n d e r A s t on , t h e team had the second biggest year-to-year turnaround in UNT history.
This will be Aston’s second stay w it h t he L ong hor ns af ter she spent 1998-2006 as an assistant head coach under then-head coach Jody Conradt.
“While we are disappointed to lose her [Aston], we are appreciative of the strides she made in our program in a short amount of time,” Vi l la rrea l sa id. “We w ish Karen well and wil l begin work immediately finding the next head coach to continue our ascent.”

The Denton City Council approved several proposals at its bi-monthly meeting last night, but the passing of new proposed food ordinances was delayed.
Discussion of the new ordi-nances, which would include more locations for food trucks to be stationed within the city, was postponed after questions arose during a closed-door work session earlier in the day. Food trucks are currently allowed in designated spots, including parts of the UNT campus.
“Some of the other members of the council who had not known too much about the new food
ordinances had questions about the many things that were being looked at,” City Councilman Kevin Roden said. “Hopefully once we work through these issues we can bring it back at a later meeting.”
The council unanimously approved four considerations involving the Citizens Board Advisory Committee, which would oversee the dispersion of several million dollars to reim-burse bonds and other obliga-tions owed from the city, some of which date back to 2003.
About $49 mil l ion was proposed to go back to the “City of Denton Certificates of Obligations, Series 2012,” which would cover fund activ-
ities through electric, water and wastewater as well as general government activities.
Another $42 million was proposed to go toward the “City of Denton General Obligation Refunding and Improvement Bonds, Series 2012,” which would authorize the issuance of the funds to certain bonds.
The council meeting also covered agenda items such as the appointment of board members to a bond advi-sory committee for the 2012 street bonds and announced the Nationa l Communit y Development Week, which will held April 9-13.

UNT announced back-to-back tuition increases last week, calling for a 3.95 percent spike in undergraduate tuition for both fall 2012 and 2013 and a one-time increase of $25 per credit hour for graduate students in fall 2012.
In addition to tuition increases, a net increase of 3.6 percent to room and board rates combined was approved. Separately, the increases were 3 percent for room and 4.76 for board rates.
“In fall 2011 a request was made for a 2 percent increase in room rates and a 3.5 percent increase in board rates,” said Tom Rufer, associate vice presi-dent of Auxiliary Services. “With that we added new flex dollars to the meal plan in effect. A seven-day meal plan increased by $45, but students were given $75 in flex dollars so we gave back to the students more than we increased.”
Rufer, who heads decisions regarding the allocation of room
a nd boa rd funds, said he hopes that services such as these will be available to students from current increases.
“ W e ’ r e starting to see some inflation back into the economy,” Rufer said. “Some vendors are starting to increase their cost for supply and delivery. Most of the early information that we’re getting is anticipating gas prices, and we’re trying to budget for that.”
According to a booklet outlining each item of busi-ness that UNT administrators presented to the Board of Regents last week, market prices have risen 9 percent for beef and 5 percent for chicken - two of campus dining’s most widely used protein sources. Coupled with food cost increases is the increase in gas prices.

Lake Ray Roberts Water Production Plant is located north of Denton. The City of Denton faces a � ne of more than $14,000 from the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality after a chemical leak in August.
TCEQ proposes � ne for Denton
NICHOLAS CAINIntern
The City of Denton is facing a proposed fine of more than $14,000 the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality, according to reported state records.
In response to a complaint by an anonymous resident, the TCEQ investigated a chemical spill from the Lake Ray Roberts Water Production Plant. The TCEQ determined more than 5,000 gallons of caustic waste leaked from a chemical pit into a portion of the Trinity River’s Elm Fork in August.
“We are preparing to present this information to the Public Utility Board and City Council in the near future,” said John Cabrales, City of Denton public information and intergovern-mental relations officer. Cabrales said city administrators would have no further comment on
Brief
the issue. TCEQ investigators ordered a
cleanup of the chemical waste, a process estimated to cost up to
$500,000, according to reported state records.
In addition to the city’s settle-ment and cooperation with the
state, the city has also suspended and demoted a former water treat-ment manager for his involve-ment with in the incident.

Occupy Denton members played a game of “Evil Wells Fargo Tw ister” in front of the University Union’s Wells Fa rgo bra nch Tuesday in protest of corporate banks.
The group played a modi-f ied version of t he ga me “Twister” to illustrate how – in their opinion – banks have society tied up.
The game, however, was soon cut short when Union officials were made aware of the indoor protest.
“Fi r st we were a s ke d to move in front of the art exhibit so we wouldn’t be in the way of people walking by,” said Occupy member Ricardo Correa, a physics Ph.D. candi-date. “Then we were told us to move out of the way of the art.”
The handful of protesters were then asked to leave by Union Director Zane Reif, according to Correa.
Associate Dean of Students Amy Ayres was then called to i n for m t he st udent s
Group protests corporate banks
t hat i ndoor protest i ng is not allowed as part of the school’s free speech policy.
“It did not end up being an issue,” Ayres said. “The students were just unaware that for their protest they needed to be outside of the building.”
Correa said he talked to Wells Fargo employees pr ior to t he protest to i n f o r m t h e m o f t h e protest’s purpose.
“I talked brief ly to the people i n Wel ls Fa rgo and told them we are not against them,” Correa said. “We are protesting Wells Fargo; a cashier at a Wells Fargo branch isn’t who this is aimed at.”
Occupy members have protested in front of larger Wells Fargo branches in Denton before, but Correa said Tuesday’s protest was aimed at persuading UNT administration to switch from Wells Fargo to a credit union or other non-chain, local bank.
CentersResearchers at CeCER A
have recently created a plan that analyzes how to respond disease threats such as anthrax, said Marty O’Neill, CeCERA simulation lab manager and graduate student.
Local governments get their emergency response plans from the state and tailor the plan accordingly to fit their jurisdiction, said Michael Penaluna, Emergency Manager for the City of Denton.
The plan is revised every five years and deals with emergen-cies such as disease, evacua-tion routes, shelters and how emergency operation centers are staffed.
“Working with media outlets such as radio to broadcast announcements and relay sirens is important,” Penaluna said.
Mayor Mark Burroughs recog-nized several members and groups within the community, such as the Friends of the Denton Library and Court Appointed
City Special Advocates (CASA), an organization that has been helping children of abuse throughout the community for more than 20 years.
“A community can only grow by the help of the community at whole, some-thing that these groups are working toward,” Burroughs said.

CeCERA worked with the Tarrant County Public Health Office to revamp their emer-gency plans for anthrax and have established more effi-cient plans to reach people, O’Neill said.
“Wit h counties a round Dallas you have to reach millions in a limited time frame, and it’s a huge chal-lenge,” O’Neill said.
Researchers created custom-written software and analyzed populations and high-risk areas so that aid supplies can be efficiently dispersed, O’Neill said.
It is impossible to replicate a real outbreak because there are too many random factors, but models can prove useful, Reyes-Silveyra said.
“We can create models so officials can use them to make decisions like, ‘Should we should close a school or an airport?’” Reyes-Silveyra said. “Or, they might not even need to.”

“The goal that we have had over the past two to three years is to improve the quality of food,” Rufer said. “Investments have been made to increase the culi-nary skills of our staff, food quality and number of food options. We’re constantly trying to assess the need and repair cafeterias, recently the major renovation in Bruce.”
Also laid out in the booklet was a minimum increase of 5 percent in food costs. This amount does not apply to fixed prices such as annual meal plan costs, which will remain at a fixed rate.
“The only thing that is not fixed is when a student is buying some-thing out of pocket,” said Jean
Bush, senior associate vice president for finance. “The board approved the rates for room and board unless you go somewhere outside of what is covered by room and board; if you get a Green Mountain coffee the retail price will be driven by whatever the costs of delivering that are.”
Though a minimum amount has been specified, Bush said it would be hard to pick a maximum amount due to constant market fluctua-tions.
“We’re sending out a proposal in the next week to request for this to happen for fall 2012,” Rufer said. “This will be determined by a UNT ad hoc committee of housing and maintenance folks put together to make this decision.”

To help clear up some confu-sion many have about the life of poet and author Sylvia Plath, undergraduate communication studies adviser Rebecca Walker is directing her adaptation of Plath’s classic novel “The Bell Jar.”
Walker said confusion comes from the novel’s somewhat auto-biographical nature, which can lead people to confuse Plath’s experiences and death with those of the novel’s fictional protago-nist, Esther. Plath committed suicide at age 30 by shoving her head in a gas oven, and often individuals think Esther does the same, Walker said.
Walker also wanted to do an adaptation because “The Bell Jar” is one of her favorite novels. She reads it at least once a year and eventually realized how she could stage an adaptation.
“What we do [in performance and communications studies] is cut up the book into a play of sorts but keep some of the narration in there and let characters – or a character who plays a narrator – deliver those lines,” she said.
Walker also wants the audi-ence to realize that “The Bell Jar” is not as depressing as many of Plath’s stories. Walker said many college students, particularly young women, can relate to the novel, even though it was written in the 1960s.
In “The Bell Jar,” Esther is finishing up college and does not know what to do with her life. She goes through multiple stages of depression and ulti-
mately attempts suicide before ending up in a series of mental hospitals, Walker said. The title comes from Esther’s suffocating depression, which she likens to being trapped under a bell jar.
“I wanted to stage it to show that there is a lot that still relates to modern times, where [students are] finishing up with college and they have been good students all of their life. But they’re finally having to make some big deci-sions about what to do,” Walker
said. “That’s sort of a scary and sometimes paralyzing place.”
The cast is made up of seven undergraduate and graduate students from the communica-tion studies department, all of whom are women. Cast members said they have rehearsed for four hours a day, three to five days a week, for eight weeks.
“We all play different parts of Esther,” communication studies senior Kim Nall said. “We each play her at a different point in her journey. I play her at the second stage in her journey, where she is in New York at the fashion maga-zine job and she is just starting to realize she doesn’t necessarily fit into this little cookie-cutter early
’60s world.”The major parts of the novel
will all be in the adaptation. Only smaller sections, which the cast believed to be repetitive or have little detail, were taken out, Nall said.
“The Bell Jar” adaptation premieres Thursday night, and assistant director Andrea Lovoll, a communication studies master’s student, said she couldn’t wait to see the novel come to life.
“I’m most looking forward
to seeing all of [Walker]’s work finally pay off,” Lovoll said. “This has been a show that has been in her head for a very long time, and I’ve heard her talk about it for well over a year now. [I can’t wait to] see all of these little things she has been talking about, see it really come to life on stage and see the audience react to that.”
Performances will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the General Academic Building 321. Tickets are limited but can be picked up in advance for free in GAB 309, although there is a $5 suggested donation that would help the communication studies department produce more shows, Lovoll said.

When most people think of Jazzercise, they probably visu-alize people dressed in tight neon spandex, doing the kind of workout seen in Olivia Newton-John’s Grammy Award-winning video “Physical.”
The reality is that Jazzercise has little in common with Newton-John “getting physical,” but today the exercise program is just as popular as the hit pop song was in the ’80s.
But what exactly makes this franchise so popular and different from other fitness programs?
“Jazzercise focuses on an active lifestyle of health,” said music senior Melissa Dickt, a certified Jazzercise instructor. “It gives people the opportunity to have a fun workout that provides results with people who encourage you to succeed.”
Jazzercise CEO Judi Sheppard Missett founded the program in 1969, fusing jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, kickboxing and Latin-style movements, all set to popular music.
Music senior Virg inia Potcinske, a regular Jazzercise participant, said she enjoys the chance to work out her whole body to popular music.
Students try Jazzercise
Communication studies adviser adapts “The Bell Jar”
“I love Jazzercise because it’s a good intense workout, but it’s fun,” Potcinske said. “It’s a big dance party. It’s the most fun you can have while exercising.”
Others say Jazzercise lets indi-viduals be part of a community that motivates members to work harder while also having fun.
“There is a social aspect to Jazzercise; you end up becoming a part of a community that misses you when you are not in class, encourages you in your fitness goals and invites you to go out to dinner,” certified Jazzercise instructor Tracy Romain said. “Jazzercise is all about fun and motivation.”
According to the American Institute of Stress, about 60 percent of Americans suffer from stress, which this is why UNT mom and Jazzercise Denton
owner Sally Knabe first started taking part in Jazzercise.
“I was having a hard time finding time to exercise, but 12 years ago when a friend invited me to Jazzercise, I saw a change – a big change – in my life,” Knabe said. “I was less stressed, and I was using Jazzercise as a stress reliever.”
Just because the program uses different styles of dancing doesn’t mean any background in dance is required, practitioners say.
“Don’t be afraid of the name, you don’t have to have any dance background, come in and give it a chance,” interior design senior Rebecca Burr said.
Jazzercise can act as a stress reliever or a healthy, fun way to exercise, Knabe said.
She said Jazzercise programs around the nation also raise money for different charities throughout the year, including contributions to breast cancer research.
Jazzercise Denton is located at 5800 N. Interstate 35-E, and yearly membership prices range from $38 to $45, with an additional $45 joining fee.
Who knows, you could be only a few Jazzercise steps away from being the next Cheryl Burke on “Dancing With the Stars.”
“It’s a big dance party. It’s the most fun you can have...”

UNT kicked off a celebra-tion of diversity and inter-nat iona l ism t his week, planning events for nearly every day of April for Great Global Citizens Month.
In the ’70s, UNT began “ I n t e r n a t i o n a l We e k : C e le br a t ion of Wor ld Cultures” to bring together its international students. This year, with the collabo-ration of UNT International, the Office of Sustainability, t he St udent Ac t iv it ies Center, t he Div ision of Equity and Diversity, and a few other departments, the week has been extended into an entire month.
“ We h e r e a t U N T Internationa l are doing some of the same things we have done in what we used to call International W e e k ,” D i r e c t o r o f Com mu n icat ions Ma r y Butler said. “I think one of the important things about this collaboration is that we are working together to maximize our resources.”
In the past, EarthFest – an a l l-day event that emphasizes environmental sustainability and social change and includes free food and activities – and the International Fair and Market were highlights of UNT’s international cele-bration.
Because turnout for both events has been consis-tently high, the two cele-brations were merged this year into one event on April 26.
UNT thinks globally for Great Citizens Month
Butler said students who come to one of the many events pla nned for Great Global Citizens Month will hopefully be exposed to new and interesting concepts.
So what exact ly does it mean to be a great global citizen?
“I think that great global citizens are people who are aware that there is a place outside of Texas,” But ler said. “They are people who are aware of the issues of the day and are aware that there is value in knowing people who are different from us.”
On Tuesday a f ter noon, st udent s f locke d to t he International Food Fair at the Baptist Student Ministries, a f u nd ra iser for i nter na-tional student groups that included dishes from around the world.
Ha nna h Ry u, a student at t he I nten sive Eng l ish Language Institute at UNT, attended the fair with a few
friends.“It’s good to be given a
chance to meet people and food from another country,” Ryu said.
Other events to mark on your calendar this month are the Japanese Drummers on April 12, the Native Dress and Flag Parade on April 20, and the EarthFest International Fa ir a nd Ma rket on Apri l 26.
About 10 years ago, UNT had its f i rst Nat ive Dress and Flag Parade. Then-UNT President A lfred F. Hurley thought the event was too great to not do every year, Butler said.
“When the president says something like that you say. ‘Yes sir’ or ‘yes ma’am,’ and you do it every year,” Butler said.
Most of the Great Global Citizens Month events are free. For more information and a complete schedule visit international.unt.edu.

After one season at UNT, Karen Aston has officially left the Mean Green, accepting the head coaching position at Texas on Tuesday. The coach’s brief stint was impressive, as UNT enjoyed a 10-game improvement in wins from last season and earned its highest win total since the 2005-2006 season. How many wins did Aston lead UNT to last season?
Hint: The Mean Green finished with one more loss than its win total in the 2011-2012 season.

At UNT home softball games, you can find 2-year-old Layton Foster running around in an open patch of grass with a golf club, hacking away at a ball while pretending to run the bases just as his mom does.
“He’s the love of my life,” soph-omore infielder Brooke Foster said of her son, Layton. “He’s changed me and changed my heart. I can’t even explain the love I have for him.”
At 4 years old, Foster began playing tee-ball, and by the age of seven she was on a traveling select team. While playing with Houston Baptist in the fall of 2008, Foster felt like quitting because she’d played for so long.
That Christmas break, Foster found out she was pregnant. She quit softball immediately and began working a full-time job at Walgreens, working up to 40 hours per week while she was supposed to be on bed rest.
On August 21, 2009, Foster,
Sophomore’s son provides motivation on the diamondthen 19 years old, had an emer-gency C-section because of high blood pressure.
At that moment, she says she realized that her God-given abili-ties as a softball player weren’t meant for just playing a game but to provide a life for her and her son.
After two years away from the game and school, Foster walked onto the UNT softball team.
“Just seeing a 19- or 20-year-old girl being headstrong enough to think she could play at that level even though she’s had a baby and been out of it for two years was a credit to her,” her father, Gary Foster said.
Brooke Foster didn’t listen to her doubters. Her motivating factor was to not let other people decide her fate.
“If I hadn’t had tried, I’d spend the rest of my life guessing at what would happen if I did try to play,” she said.
Last year, Brooke Foster commuted 49 miles from her home in Wylie to Denton every day.
Along with early morning prac-tices, games, classes and tutoring
sessions, she had to battle for custody of Layton.
“I actually would have a lot of breakdowns,” she said. “I was very emotional. I would cry in the middle of practice because I just couldn’t stop thinking about it.”
Brooke Foster eventually won custody, and Layton made his permanent home at Foster’s parents’ house in Wylie. Layton’s father doesn’t have custody of him, but his parents get Layton on Wednesdays for two hours and Saturdays for six hours.
To keep Brooke focused on school and on softball, her
parents only allow her to come back to Wylie twice a week, as she now has an apartment in Denton. Leaving never gets any easier, since Brooke and Layton are “inseparable,” as Brooke’s mother Sandee Foster puts it.
“She’s extremely mentally
tough, to leave her son and go to school every day,” Gary Foster said. “She leaves with tears in her eyes every time she leaves.”
Gary Foster believes that Brooke’s toughness came from having multiple surgeries to fix a cleft lip and palate when she
was younger and her athletic prowess of always playing with older kids.
“I don’t know how she [Brooke] does it, but she has to,” Sandee Foster said. “Like she says, ‘I have to. I don’t have a choice. I have a son that I have to take care of.’”

The UNT women’s golf team has played like two completely different teams this season.
In the fall, senior Jacey Chun was ranked No. 8 in the nation individually. The team had its highest national ranking ever at No. 41.
UNT did not come back with the same intesity in the spring.
UNT fell out of the nation’s top-50 teams, and now it is ranked No. 72 and hasn’t finished higher than sixth place in four spring tournaments.
Chun, who has struggled with a back injury, has fallen all the way out of the nation’s top 200
players and is dangerously close to dropping out of the nation’s top 300 at No. 297.
Despite emphasizing putting in practice, it’s still UNT’s Achilles heel.
The Mean Green’s ability to drive the ball gave the team a good chance at success in every tournament, but its struggle on the green is as painful as it is ironic.
The team’s fall performance had it ranked high enough to automatically qualify for the NCAA Regional tournament. Now, the team has put itself in a position where it absolutely has to perform well in the Sun Belt Conference Championship in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
If the team does not win the conference title in April, its hopes
of getting a regional berth are done.
Standing between UNT and the championship is Denver, which has claimed the confer-ence championship in each of the last seven seasons.
UNT and Denver played together in the regular season at the Arizona Wildcat Invitational in February. Denver finished sixth, while the Mean Green finished 10th.
The team needs to take a lesson from Tiger Woods’ recent odyssey. Although the situations weren’t identical, UNT’s golf game suffered in a similar way: from one of the best amongst its competi-tors to a bunch of disappointing and disheartening finishes.
The difference between Woods and UNT is Woods broke his
923-day losing streak when he won a tournament March 25, something UNT hasn’t done since March 27, 2011.
The Mean Green has the talent to win this postseason, but it needs to refocus and get back to its play from the fall when the team had three top-five finishes.

The No. 58 Mean Green tennis team will have to wait even longer to get back into action.
UNT’s match w ith the Texas-Arlington Mavericks was rescheduled because of inclement weather conditions in the North Texas area. The
match against UTA would have been UNT’s first match since the team lost 4-3 to the Wichita State Shockers on March 17.
The match, which was orig-inally scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Tuesday at the Waranch Tennis Complex, will now take place at 3 p.m. on Monday, April 9.
The team’s next match will come against the Central Florida Knights at noon on Saturday at the Waranch Tennis Complex.

Can you blame Karen Aston for
leaving UNT to go to UT?
“No, she is bettering herself. She could build a legacy here, or
she can go to UT where that is already set in stone. I would go.”
“No, she will have a better experience there and better
facilities.”
“I thought the team was doing really good, but I can’t blame
her. It’s probably better for her, it’s a well-recognized school.”
Shake: The Supreme Court
This Monday, the Supreme Court decided in a 5-4 decision to rule against New Jersey man Albert Florence, effectively making it OK for any jail to perform a strip search on someone arrested for even a minor crime.
In the case at hand, Florence was arrested for an overdue fine, then strip-searched by two different county jails that later found his fine had already been paid.
The decision was made directly down party lines, with the conserva-tive majority ruling that in an envi-ronment as dangerous as a jail, safety should be held over privacy. This kind of thinking is a dangerous precedent for the state of American civil liber-ties.
The decision also completely ignores pat-downs, clothing changes and delousing showers that every jailed individual goes through. It’s unlikely that someone such as Florence, who was pulled over while being driven by his wife, would have the time or desire to hide something inside of himself.
Dissenting Justice Stephen Breyer stated that strip searches “subject those arrested for minor offenses to serious invasions of their personal privacy.” Because of the Edboard’s agreement with Justice Breyer, the Supreme Court receives a shake for this decision.
Nod: Kentucky Men’s Basketball
Kentucky head coach John Calipari, Naismith Player of the Year freshman
forward Anthony Davis and their Wildcats defeated the Kansas Jayhawks in Monday night’s NCAA National Championship Game. The team’s victory was expected, but the win was special for several reasons beyond “it’s a national title game.”
This signifies coach Calipari’s first championship, which is surprising considering he’s had 14 NCAA tour-nament experiences, including a 2008 appearance in the title game. While his record prior to the game guaranteed he would be remembered as an elite coach, this championship solidifies his status as an all-time great.
Furthermore, this win happened to a team with six players, including two freshman and three sophomores, who will be leaving for the NBA Draft. Traditionally, teams that only serve as
a gateway to the NBA compete well but aren’t built upon a solid enough team dynamic to win it all. Kentucky’s title could lead to a shift in the belief of what a championship team is made of.
Davis, Kentucky’s best player, had a game that will go down as one of the all-time weirdest title performances. While he finished the game with only six points and didn’t score at all in the first half, he still made his presence known with a dominant 16 rebounds, five assists, six blocks and three steals. That type of selfless play needs to be seen more in the NBA, which has at least a handful of players more inter-ested in scoring than winning.
Kentucky earns a nod for winning the title after a dominant season and potentially reshaping the future of college basketball.
It hasn’t gotten a whole lot of media attention, but this week – April 2 through April 6 – is the annual “Empty Holster Protest” week, a nationwide pro-gun rally sponsored by campus chapters of Students for Concealed Carry ( SCC).
While there doesn’t seem to be an official UNT chapter of SCC at this time, the organization and the event were started by a UNT student in 2007, in response to the Virginia Tech shooting that left 36 students dead on that campus. There are campus chap-ters at A&M, Texas Tech, and at the Austin, Arlington and Dallas campuses of University of Texas.
Under current Texas law, people with concealed handgun licenses are not permitted to carry their weapons on college campuses, and the SCC’s argument is that a responsible, licensed gun-carrying student could have prevented the Virginia Tech shooter from taking as many lives as he did. While I do understand the organiza-tion’s argument, I couldn’t disagree with it more.
If a gun-carrying student had opened fire on the shooter at Virginia Tech, how many more students might have died in the crossfire, and further-more, how would police have been able to tell the difference between the “good” shooter and the “bad” shooter? In the event of a sweeping, thoughtless killing spree, more gunfire can only lead to more confusion, more chaos, more injuries and more deaths.
I strongly believe in our constitu-tional right as American citizens to own weapons, but I wouldn’t trust my
safety in the hands of a gun-carrying vigilante student, regardless of how good a shot she or he is.
Furthermore, college campuses are often at high risk for volatility. The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University in New York City has stated that binge drinking on college campuses has risen steadily since 1993. While the proportion of drinkers to non-drinkers has remained the same, students’ propensity to get violently drunk – to the point of being unaware of his or her actions – has increased dramatically.
Factor that type of alcohol use into students carrying weapons around campus, and you could have a deadly recipe.
Something should be done about gun violence on college campuses, but arming students in a misguided hope that they will somehow defend the masses is the wrong approach.

With so many scientific issues becoming battlefields in the culture wars, from climate change to stem-cell research to evolution, we hardly needed a new study to tell us that scientists have become a favorite target of the right. Yet a paper written by University of North Carolina doctoral fellow Gordon Gauchat and published last week in the American Sociological Review also contains a highly counterintuitive finding.
Common sense, as well as past research, suggests that distrust of science correlates with lack of educa-tion; the less education a person has, the more likely he or she will favor traditional beliefs or religious dogma over scientific evidence. There’s even an academic name for this theory: the “deficit model” of scientific literacy. When it comes to modern conser-vatives, however, the deficit model does not apply.
Analyzing results from the General Social Survey, which has been conducted by the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center since 1972, Gauchat found that for conservatives with college degrees, trust in science declined more over time than it did for conservatives with only a high school degree. (This was not true for liberals or moderates, whose views on science have been relatively static for decades.)
How did this happen? Gauchat theorizes that it came about because the most educated conservatives are also the most politically engaged and the most likely to seek informa-tion that conforms to their ideology,
and in recent years they’ve been able to find it in spades. Right-wing think tanks, funded by corporate interests to undermine the scientific consensus on such expensive-to-fix phenomena as climate change, have proliferated, as have conservative cable-TV networks, blogs and radio talk shows. In general, these outlets are talking to a well-educated audi-ence. And they’re presenting a very one-sided view of scientific issues.
The results are dramatic. In 1974, people who identified themselves as conservatives were the most likely group to have a high degree of trust in science; now they’re the least trustful. As Gauchat argues, this can prob-ably be blamed on both the growing influence of the religious right, which rejects scientific contradictions of religious teachings on such issues as evolution and stem-cell research, and the growing use of science to inform public policy in such areas as envi-ronmental protection. Conservatives, ever wary of government interfer-ence with the free market, started to resent the scientists whose find-ings suggested such interference was necessary. Rather than debate reme-dies, they have turned on science itself.
Science doesn’t just produce useful gadgets; it has propelled the advance of human society from the dawn of civilization to the modern world. Its politicization is a worrisome step backward.

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
