On Saturday, UNT Outdoor Pursuits will host the 8th Annual Red Point Riot Climbing Competition at the Pohl Recreation Center. The competition is a part of the Collegiate Climbing Series, which UNT had a hand in starting in 2009. The series was started for students who competed in USA Climbing in high school and had no way to continue with competitive climbing in college. “Expect to have fun and be welcomed in and be chal- lenged,” said Rebecca Salsman, an Outdoor Pursuits staff member. Last year’s competi- tion featured more than 100 competitors from nine different Texas schools including UNT, according to Assistant Director of Outdoor Pursuits Ben Hanisian. After the climbing wall closes Wednesday, the UNT Outdoor Pursuits staff will take all the holds off the climbing wall and clean them and the wall before adding about 40 new routes for the competi- tion. Each new route can take anywhere from two to four hours to add. “It’s really impressive they put this on and do it so success- fully,” Hanisian said. Since many of the staff members have experience with outdoor climbing, the routes are usually comparable to outdoor conditions. The routes from the contest will also be up for a while after the competition so climbers can come back and try them. The competition will have two sessions, the first starting at 9 a.m. and the second starting at 1:30 p.m. Climbers will be divided into three groups by their level of experience. They will be awarded points for climbs completed without falling, with more points being awarded for more difficult climbs completed. There is a $20 fee for the competition, which includes a T-shirt and a chance to win prizes. Climbers must be at least 16 years old and have to sign the UNT Indoor Climbing Facility Participant Waiver. Climbers also run the risk of being turned away if they don’t preregister. “The wall is only so big, if we’re slammed we may have to turn people away,” Hanisian said. Following the second climbing session, the top three climbers in each divi- sion are decided by who has the most points from their top five climbs. The top three finishers will receive certificates, and all the climbers will be able to win door prizes in a raffle featuring products from the sponsors.

The Denton City Council ha s pa r t nered w it h t he Chamber of Commerce to develop and plan for a denser, less sprawled cit y for the future.

T he Denton Econom ic Development Pa r t nership Board allows city and private industry to plan economic d e v e l o p m e n t t o g e t h e r through regular meetings. A n upcom i ng update to The Denton Plan, a 20-year economic development blue-print passed in 1999, w il l consider the slowing economy in future planning.

“Change happens,” Cit y Councilman Dalton Gregory sa id. “People a re proud Denton has a unique iden-tity, and we want to keep it and build on its authentic character.”

The North Texas region has seen a great deal of growth in the past 10 years .

Ten-year numbers f rom the 2010 U.S. Census show the population of the City of Denton went from 80,537 in 2000 to 113,383 in 2010, a 40.8 percent change.

The Denton EDPB is made up of t wo Cit y Cou nci l members, two members from the Chamber of Commerce,

two of the top 20 taxpayers and three other members, including UNT President V. Lane Rawlins.

T he boa rd a l low s cit y and private industry to plan e c o n o m i c d e v e l o p m e n t toget her t hroug h reg u la r meetings.

The council spearheaded work to contain areas on the outskirts of the city limits through annexation to avoid sprawling urban areas cities like Frisco must deal with.

“The next plan will call for more urban density between the downtown area and the two universit ies,” Gregor y said. “There’s a great deal

of land not being used, and m u l t i -f a m i l y l o c a t i o n s , tow n houses a nd zero-lot homes will reduce possible sprawl.”

The growth rate for next year is expected to increase by 1.5 percent in 2013, according to Erica Sullivan, an economic development analyst with the Denton EDPB.

Gregory expressed concern for industrial growth.

“Another thing we work on is diversif y ing our ta x base. If we have just one or two manufacturers or indus-trial companies here and one leaves, you’re looking at a lot of jobs being taken away.”

Warren Burggren, provost and vice president for academic affairs, speaks during the Student Government Association meeting in Room 120 of Terrill Hall. “We’re in the middle of taking off,” said Burggren about reaching tier-one status.

Sharbaf said she hopes to monitor the status of Stovall Hall, which houses CVAD and is slated for demolition.

CVAD programs housed in Scoular and Stovall halls will be relocated to temporary

“modular” buildings until permanent housing can be determined.

SGA elections are taking place this week to deter-mine next year’s president, vice president and senate. Students can cast their votes until Friday at 5 p.m. The voting poll is online only, and a link can be found at sga.unt.edu.

“Plans for the buildings’ demolitions have been set since August 2005 as part of the school’s master plan,” Reif said. “These buildings are coming down because we have to make room for the Union’s southward expansion.”

The more than 100,000 square foot expansion mapped out in Union f loor plans will not overlap with either Scoular or Stovall locations, Reif said. The earth under-neath the buildings will most likely be used as site to create geothermal energy to power a sustainable Union.

The possibility of a new Art Building has been discussed by administration and faculty, and would provide space for CVAD.

“We’re waiting on the state to approve tuition revenue bonds,” Milnes said. “It’s all

based on the economy and the legislature.”

In 2011, the state received 74 Tuition Revenue Bond project

applications for new construc-tion, repair and renovation projects, said Lilia Gonzales, UNT System director of plan-

ning and development. A new CVAD building was ranked as one of 13 highly recommended projects.

(MCT) OAKLAND, Calif. – At a memorial for the victims of the mass shooting at Oikos University in Oakland, devas-tated family and friends prayed, shed tears and mourned for the seven whose lives were lost.

Nam Soo Woo, the small Christian university’s vice pres-ident, recounted a conversa-tion he had earlier in the day to mourners who filled the pews of the dimly lit, stained glass-lined hall Tuesday night. The devastated father of Lydia Sim, a 21-year-old nursing student from Hayward, told him of how he had lived for his daughter, Woo said.

“For 35 years after I came to the U.S., I lived to raise my daughter as someone who

would serve society, and that dream has been quashed,” the father said, Woo recalled. “I can’t understand.”

“I told him, ‘I can’t under-stand it either,’” Woo said.

Reflecting the diversity of those who were killed, the prayers were in Korean and English with a smattering of Tibeta n a nd Hebrew. Jean Quan, the city’s mayor, remarked Oakland was a place that “prays in 130 different languages.”

Tenzin Tsedup, president of the Tibetan Assn. of Northern California, remembered his friend Sonam Choedon, 33, as a “simple, kind” woman. She worked in India for the Tibetan government in exile for five

years before coming to the U.S., Tsedup said.

Choedon, he said, was one of two Tibetans killed in Monday’s shooting rampage.

“We all must unite as a community and teach compas-sion and love,” he said.

Quan spoke in fierce defense of the city of Oakland. The violence could have happened in any other U.S. city, she said.

“This is America, where you can find a gun easier than mental health services,” she said, to resounding applause.

“These are people who came together at the school because Oakland is a city of dreams,” Quan said of the victims. They are what “makes the city and

makes it vibrant,” the mayor said.

The memorial was held soon after six of the seven shooting victims were identified by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office Coroner’s Bureau. The victims included Sim, Choedon, Bhutia Tshering, 38, Judith O. Seymore, 53, Kim G. Eunhea, 23, and Doris Chibuko, 40.

The suspect, One L. Goh, 43, is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday. Authorities say Goh had been expelled from Oikos this year for behavioral prob-lems, including anger issues.

He allegedly ordered the students inside the school to line up against the wall Monday morning. When some refused, he opened fire, officials said.

Since it was first published more than 130 years ago, the classic novel “Little Women” has sold millions of copies worldw ide, spaw ning two sequels, a movie and most recently, a musical.

The t imeless stor y w il l come alive through song and dance when the musical opens tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at the Denton Campus Theatre.

“I read the book when I was little, and I have always loved the story,” said Buster Maloney, the musical’s director. “It is an icon of American literature.”

The musical tells the time-less tale of the March women: sisters Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth and their mother, Marmee.

“Little Women” is set during the Civil War when the girls’ father is away serving as a chaplain in the Union army and is narrated by Jo, the second oldest sister. Jo is some-thing of a tomboy who has big dreams of being a writer. “Jo is a character,” said development a nd fa m i ly studies junior Katelyn Branson, who plays the character of Jo. “She is stubborn and stands her ground. I have always been drawn to characters that stand up for what they believe in,

Mark Phillips, assistant dean for UNT’s Digital Libraries, was recently named one of Library Journal’s “Movers and Shakers 2012” in the tech leaders cate-gory.

Phillips, who earned a master’s degree in library science from UNT in 2004, received the award for helping restructure UNT’s world-renowned digital library system. He will be honored at a luncheon during the American Library Association’s summer conference in Anaheim, Calif. this June.

The Library Journal began recognizing individuals for their work and innovation in the field of library science in 2001. Categories include commu-nity builders, advocates, change agents, innovators, recession busters and tech leaders. Out of about 500 nominated candi-dates in 2012, 53 were selected as “movers and shakers” by the popular trade publication.

“It’s a cool thing to be one of their peers,” Phillips said. “Then you get that brief period where everyone congratulates you.”

Phillips, the sixth librarian in his family along with both parents, two aunts and a cousin, calls being a librarian “kind of a family business.”

He said he finds it interesting to see where libraries interact with people’s lives and how users

who know what they want and go out and get it.”

UNT alumna Maria Harris plays the character of Marmee. She acts as the glue that keeps the family together, Harris said.

As a mother herself, Harris said the hardest part of the role was acting through the death of Marmee’s daughter Beth.

“Marmee is ver y strong du r i ng t he lo s s of her

daughter,” Harris said. “She sings a song to Jo about keeping Beth inside of her. It was hard to sing through the song without relating what I would really feel if I ever lost a child.”

Musical numbers include bot h ba l lads a nd da nce numbers, Maloney said.

“The music is absolutely beautiful,” he said. “A lot of the story is told through the songs, and the music high-

access the content.“Information doesn’t orga-

nize itself,” Phillips said. “For me, it’s exciting to see how the web allows us to reach new audi-ences with services.”

Phillips earned his bach-elor’s degree in music perfor-mance from Oklahoma City University in 2002 and plays bass with the Fort Smith Symphony in Arkansas, performing about seven concerts a year.

Phillips enjoys the outdoors, whether he’s hiking, kayaking or seeing nature from behind a camera as a photographer. He said he’s currently learning English-style horseback riding and contemplating picking up polo.

Hannah Tarver, department head of the UNT libraries’ digital projects unit, has worked with Phillips since August 2007.

“I wasn’t terribly surprised when he was named a mover and shaker,” Tarver said. “He’s very involved in library science, not just thinking about how to improve but how we can be leaders in the field.”

Phillips said the biggest challenge has been the hard work involved in structuring the electronic system and the sheer volume of information to be digitized. The digital proj-ects unit has already trans-ferred more than 60,000 items into the digital collection. “It takes a lot to get people

to collaborate,” Phil lips said.

Daniel Alemneh, digital curator of the UNT libraries’ digital projects unit, said that naming Phillips a mover and shaker was long overdue. Alemneh has been a colleague of Phillips’ since they were both students.

Their first project was providing electronic access to government documents for the U.S. Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. The ACIR was established in 1959 to study ways to improve efficiency in relations between federal agencies. UNT is now an archive for state and national digital resources and was also the third university in the world to mandate elec-tronic copies of these docu-ments.

“[Phillips] has grown exceptionally fast over time,” Alemneh said. “He has a rare technical skill, not common for librarians. He bridges the gap and can communicate the libraries’ needs with the programmers.”

Because of the work of people like Phillips, the future of UNT’s digital libraries is wide open.

“There’s so many oppor-tunities,” Phillips said. “We have infrastructure in place, and now we can focus on content.”

lights some of the big points in the story.”

The cast has been prac-t icing for t wo mont hs to prepare for the large produc-tion, he said.

The group is working on a large and complex set, and each of the characters will be wearing elaborate period costumes from the 1860s, Maloney said.

Cast and crew said they were excited to be part of such a large, respected produc-tion.

“I think people misinter-pret the story when they hear the title,” Harris said. “They think it will be boring because it takes place during the Civil War, but it’s really got a lot of meat to it. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did.”

Mark Phillips, assistant dean for UNT’s Digital Libraries, was named by the Library Journal as one of its “Movers and Shakers 2012” March 15 for his work in restructuring UNT’s Digital Library.

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.

UNT graduate lands role on the big screen

1998 radio, television and � lm graduate Stephen Young has played parts in TV shows such as “Murder by the Book” and “Homicide Hunter.”

DAISY SILOSStaff Writer

Though radio, television and film graduate Stephen Young can’t say he’s headlined major films, he has made the big screen.

Young, who plays a small role in the film “Like Crazy,” which opened on Halloween, had previously racked up a series of TV credits in shows such as “Murder by the Book,” and “Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda.”

“I always kind of lived in my imagination and liked playing different characters,” he said. “Movies were always my big escape.”

You n g , w h o i n i t i a l l y attended the University of Texas at Austin, said he trans-ferred to UNT because of the opportunity to gain more

hands-on experience. “I tried working in Austin,

but it was just so big I couldn’t really gain anything from their f i lm department,” he said. “Transferring to North

Texas and working for ntTV definitely gave me the expe-rience that I needed.”

W hen he came to UNT, Young said his goal was to learn the ins and outs behind

the camera, rather than in front.

“I thought to myself, I love movies so much that I wanted to know how they were made,” he said. “I figured I’d do that

as an undergraduate and then go to an acting conservatory or go into sketch and improv comedy.”

After graduating from UNT in 1998, Young said he worked for KDAF in Dallas as a camera operator and graphics artist.

In 2000, he moved to L.A. and enrolled into The Groundlings theater school, a prestigious improv school where stars such as Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell have gone.

It was while he was there that Young met “Like Crazy” director Drake Doremus, who

offered him a small role in the film.

“It’s a small part, but he was nice enough to offer me the part,” he said. “It was a great experience and I learned a lot from him and the other actors in the movie.”

UNT business a lumnus Russell Petty said he’s known Young since seventh grade and said he thinks this is just the start of Young’s career.

“When it came to drama, he always seemed to steal the show in whatever he was in,” he said. “I always thought he had the drive and ability to make it.”

Petty has seen Young in action during their college years together and has even seen some of the work he’s done at Groundlings.

V ic tor ia A r m st rong , a t heater sophomore, sa id k now ing that people who were in her shoes before are having some success moti-vates her for the future.

“Even if it’s a small part like his, it’s a big movie that’s gotten great reviews,” she said. “There isn’t such thing as a small part as long as you gain some experience from it.”

“There isn’t such thing as a small part as long as you gain

some experience from it.”—Victoria Armstrong

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.

Campus group hones cra� of public speakingBRITTNI BARNETTSenior Staff Writer

The UNT Toastmasters club is one of 13,000 branches world-wide that help members master the art of public speaking.

UNT’s branch, which was chartered in 2002, is one of about five clubs in the Denton area.

“We felt that this club was a natural fit for the univer-sity,” said Russ Stukel, director of student life for the Texas Academy of Math and Science and one of the club’s members. “Being able to form ideas in a concise manner using proper grammar and eloquent vocabu-lary is very important.”

In addition to learning skills such as body language, gestures and voice inflection that help with prepared public speeches, members also learn to speak off the cuff. Each of the meetings incorporates time for what are known as “table topics.” In this exercise, members are asked a question and must give a short answer on the spot.

Tracee Robertson, director of the UNT art galleries, decided to join the club three years ago after giving a presentation for her job.

“I struggle, like most people,

with speaking in front of a crowd,” Robertson said. “It was embarrassing. I stumbled over my words and I couldn’t get my PowerPoint presentation to work right. It was just a mess.”

After her presentation, Robertson said a Toastmasters club member approached her and told her about the organi-zation and what it offered.

“At first my feelings were hurt, of course,” she said. “But I knew he was right, so I went, and it’s changed everything. It’s made such a big difference in my confidence.”

The club meets weekly from noon to 1 p.m. in Marquis Hall 118. The meetings serve as an opportunity for members to practice their public speaking and leadership skills through a step-by-step process.

Once members complete a series of usually 10 speeches or 10 projects they can move on to the next level.

Club member Helen Schenk has obtained Distinguished Toastmaster , the highest level in the organization, which took her six years to accomplish.

“I decided after a couple of years that I wanted to try for that title,” said Schenk, an adminis-

trative assistant for the College of Engineering. “I have made a lot of speeches, but it’s a learning process for me too. By listening and evaluating other speakers

you learn things, and this is helpful for me as well.”

Students, faculty, staff and community members alike are encouraged to join the club,

Robertson said.“Your goal is to have people

go away with an understanding of your ideas and your message,” Robertson said. “Toastmasters

really helps you kind of unleash your talents and your passions and it allows and inspires you to share those with other people.”

The lights come up on a teary-eyed woman standing in front of 40 UNT students. In a shaky voice, she explains how humbled she is by their work and the impact they have made on the community. In a classroom down the hall, another woman is making a similar speech.

Lecturers April Fehler and Brenda McCoy recently guided their 72 civic engagement students in a three-week project to raise money for local and national hunger charities. When it was all said and done, they had amassed a total of $18,816.07.

“We teach the importance of civic engagement and problem solving, but with a focus on

Civic engagement classes raise more than $18,000hunger,” McCoy said. “These students can make a positive difference and impact on the world. We tell them they can make a difference, and we give them an opportunity to do so.”

Pathways to Civic Engagement is a required course for public affairs and community service majors, but students of various disciplines enroll. Although the class provides an idealistic syllabus detailing ways to give back to the community, not everyone starts off willing to lend a hand.

With this in mind, both Fehler and McCoy designed the project so that students can choose their own groups, charities and fund-raising techniques in order to hold students accountable to

one another, an essential key to civic engagement.

“I’ve always been fascinated by how people engage with their community and, more impor-

tantly, why they don’t,” applied arts and sciences junior Heather Quinn said. “Civic engagement means interacting with your community to make sure you and your neighbors’ needs are

met. No matter how you choose to do it, it keeps our society accountable and truly demo-cratic.”

Quinn, whose group donated

to the Denton Bible Church’s Cattle Ministry, set up their own website to collect donations and explain the cause to family and friends. Other groups used social media, held car washes and bake

sales, waited tables and set up booths outside grocery stores to raise funds.

Their efforts sent $11,821 to the North Texas Food Bank, $3,951 to SOS Children’s Villages, $1,100 to the Veterans Association Red Cross, about $1,000 to the Denton Bible Church and about $1,000 to the Ashbury Relief Ministry.

“With that money, we will provide over 35,000 meals,” said Karla Dechavez, development coordinator for North Texas Food Bank. “That makes a significant impact on the community. Even the fact they were educating people about hunger will make a big difference.”

The North Texas Food Bank provides 90,000 meals a day

to the homeless and residents who may have jobs but cannot afford food after paying bills and other costs. According to Dechavez, about 300,000 meals a day would be necessary to feed all the homeless and needy in North Texas, but with education and small donations, hunger – at a local and international level – could one day be a thing of the past.

“I learned that a little bit at a time really makes a differ-ence,” Quinn said. “When combined with the rest of the class, the impact was immense. If we see an issue in the world we shouldn’t be intimidated to try to solve it, because one person really can make a posi-tive impact.”

“I’ve always been fascinated by how people engage with their

community, and...why they don’t.”—Heather Quinn

t he Cata l i na Cr u z Spi r it Awa rd, a long w it h bei ng named Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week in mid-February.

T h i s y e a r h a s b e e n anything but a letdown for Mil ler, who has compiled an 8-5 singles record so far, including victories against two ranked opponents.

Team firstT h o u g h D i n u t a h a s

received numerous accolades over her career – including Sun Belt Player of the Week honors twice – her biggest a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s w e r e helping her team w in the SBC Championship in 2010 and her performance in the classroom.

“Winning the conference was a very good accomplish-ment, tennis-wise, but then in school I also have a pretty good GPA,” she said.

For Di nut a , t he te a m means as much to her as she means to it.

“We had ups and downs like everybody has, but I can say I grew a lot over these four

years, and it changed me c omplet el y from who I was before. D e f i n i t e l y t he s e fou r years had a big i mpac t on my l i fe,” D i nut a s a id . “I’m more mature, more confident in myself, a better athlete and a better student.”

Captain’s accoladesThough hindered by two

injuries during her college c a r e e r , t e a m c a p t a i n Paraschiv has accomplished what most players can only dream of.

A Recipient of Player of the Week honors as a freshman and the Mean Green MV P award twice, she has set the standard of excel lence for the team.

Paraschiv was not avail-able for comment.

“They’re very valuable, not just for their ability to play tennis but for their person-ality and maturity as well,”

Maren said. “Coach [Sujay Lama] and I look at these girls like our daughters, so it’s tough to let them go out into the world, but we also know that they’re prepared to do that. We are sad to see them go, but we are confident that they can handle whatever lies in front of them.”

U N T ha s fou r reg u la r season games left before it hosts the SBC Championships on April 19..

“The next goal for me is to help contribute to the team winning conference. From there, we have great oppor-tunities to go even further,” Miller said. “We take it one step at a t ime, and we’re looking to go as far as we can.”

UNT ends season on the roadJunior Eric Stein prepares to pass the ball to junior Trevor Swift during UNT’s game against Texas Christian University at Fouts Field on March 7. The Mean Green lost 11-7 to the Horned Frogs.

BRETT MEDEIROSSenior Staff Writer

What do the 2004 Boston Red Sox, the 2011 Dallas Mavericks and the 2011 New York Giants all have in common?

A monumental, season-cha ng ing ga me in t he reg u la r or post sea son made each a champion-ship-caliber team.

L a s t w e e k e n d , t h e UNT softball team won a three-game series against Wester n Kentuck y a nd made a final inning come-back in each game after struggling late in games all season.

I’m not saying last week-end’s comebacks against WKU will launch this team past the nationally ranked Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns, but they may put the Mean Green in ULL’s rearview mirror – as long as UNT doesn’t take the comebacks for granted.

Maybe it’s the fact the team finally got the ball to f ly its way, but t he Mean Green now has more momentum than ever.

Look at this year’s NCAA men’s basketball runners-up in Kansas. That team played above its ta lent level all season, but the momentum it built up all season wasn’t enough to carry the Jayhawks to a championship victory.

If the Mean Green can harness its inner Jayhawk, it ca n become a ver y dangerous team.

Momentum is nothing new this season for a UNT team. This past season, the UNT men’s basketball team failed to reach 20 wins for the first time in six years,

Series win could launch so� ball team

but the team still came within seconds of making its third NCA A Tournament appear-ance since 2007. Now it is the softball team’s turn to become that underestimated team that surprises everyone.

Just like the men’s basket-ball team did, the softball team has things to fix before thinking about making a run into the conference tourna-ment.

The pitching sti l l needs some help. This team lives and dies by the long ball, but scoring about five runs per game doesn’t help much when the pitchers also give up about five runs a game.

T h i s we ekend’s ser ie s against the Florida Atlantic Owls gives UNT the perfect opportunit y to gain even more momentum for t he Mean Green. FAU currently sits in last place in the Sun Belt Conference and statisti-cally has the worst offense in the conference, with a team batting average of .235 and just more than three runs scored per game.

There is not hing more threatening than a young team growing confident. Keep in mind, the only senior that’s doing any damage at the plate is Caitlin Grimes.

The Mean Green now has an opportunity to take its third series victory of the season against a mediocre team and continue its upward swing.

A fter its season started w it h much optimism, t he Mean Green men’s lacrosse club (1-8, 0-3) will close out the 2011-2012 campaign with three games on the road.

“Having all of our players there wil l be a big advan-tage,” head coach Cosey Carlisle said. “In our other road games I think we really beat ourselves up – more than the other team beat us even – and not making the one or two critical mistakes we’ve been making will be key.”

Despite a 1-3 home record, bei ng able to play home ga mes at Fouts Field has been a benefit to the team, Carlisle said.

Any senior on any team can say they provide leadership, but seniors Paula Dinuta, Irina Paraschiv and Nadia Miller née Lee have plenty more to offer the UNT tennis team.

of this season, Carlisle gained permission to play the team’s home games at Fouts Field. In its only victory of the season, the Mean Green beat Rice 15-4 Feb. 4 at home.

“It has definitely helped to have our games at Fouts,” he

said. “It’s nice to have more fans show up, and knowing we get to play there looks good for the program and shows new recruits we’ve got a quality place to play.”

W hile t he club has lost each of its conference games,

its next game against confer-ence opponent Texas Tech (1-11, 0-4) at 7 p.m. Saturday may bring an opportunity for it to move up in the Lone Star Alliance Conference stand-ings. Texas Tech is in last place in the North Division,

one spot behind the Mean Green.

The tea ms have t raded wins and losses, with Tech up one victory over the Mean Green over the past seven years. Last year, the Mean Green took a 9-4 w in, but

lost by one point in the 2010 matchup.

“Tech is hav ing a dow n year as well,” Carlisle said. “It‘l l come dow n to who’s more consistent, doesn‘t make critical mistakes and just tries the hardest.”

A lt hough t he tea m w il l not make the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons, every team goes through a down season occasionally, Carlisle said. Last year the club competed in the confer-ence final four.

“We had some big injuries hurt us in the Baylor game,” he said. “And a number of the guys couldn’t afford or didn’t have the time to make it on our long road trip. It sucks for the seniors, but it just happens sometimes.”

Following Tech, the Mean Green will face New Mexico in Lubbock on Sunday and close out its season against Southern Methodist in Dallas on April 11.

mistakes and just tries the hardest.”—Cosey Carlisle

Junior PitcherSimmons is the Mean Green’s go-to pitcher. She has

accounted for half of the team’s total innings pitched. Her groundout style has treated her well this season, as she’s held opposing hitters to a .252 batting average. Simmons ranks ninth in earned run average in the Sun Belt Conference at 2.74 and has appeared in the most games of any pitcher this season.

Senior CatcherGrimes is the backbone of one of the most powerful lineups

in the Sun Belt. Her nine home runs leads UNT and ranks second in the conference. Her ability to control the game from behind the plate is also pivotal. This season, Grimes has thrown out 11 runners attempting to steal a base, good enough for second in the Sun Belt. To be effective, Grimes will need to make sure pitches do not get past her, as she leads the conference with 10 passed balls.

Sophomore OutfielderMcCarroll is the newest addition in the field this season

for the Mean Green, and she has already made her presence felt at the plate. With seven home runs this season, she joins three other UNT players as the top 10 home run hitters in the conference. Though her power numbers are among the best, she is tied for second in the conference with 30 strike-outs in 92 plate appearances.

Junior Pitcher/InfielderFawbush is one of the top hitters in the conference. Her

ability to work the count makes her a tough out. Her on-base percentage of .462 is eighth best in the Sun Belt. She is also in the top 10 in walks and doubles. While being one of the Owls’ best hitters, she is also the team’s top pitcher. Her 63 strikeouts are ninth best in the conference and she has pitched in 100.1 innings this season.

Junior First BasemanAlthough she’s only hit three home runs this season,

Call is considered the Owls’ power hitter. As a team, FAU has only seven home runs this season. With 18 walks and an on-base percentage of .419, Call constantly finds a way to get on base, but her fielding may be her biggest weapon. As a first baseman, she has helped start seven double plays and has a .965 fielding percentage.

Senior InfielderAn everyday starter for FAU, Barnes is the team’s speed

demon. Along with a .327 batting average, she also has the most stolen base attempts with eight for the Owls, although she has been caught stealing three times. When hitting the ball in the gaps, her speed really becomes a weapon. Her four triples this season leads the Sun Belt Conference.

How often do you use the Rec Center

and why?

“Now that exams are coming up, not often, but when we

[my best friend] don’t [have exams] we try to go three

times a week.”

“[I go] four times a week to stay healthy. Diabetes runs in my family, so for health reasons I try to prevent it.”

“I probably go biweekly. I’ve done the rock climb a couple times, but I don’t go there too

often.”

While the past 10 years have been defined by America’s military acting as a global police force, this week’s parliamentary election of the National League for Democracy in Myanmar (also known as Burma) over the ruling military party, known as the State Peace and Development Council, came about as a product of global sanctions on a non-democratic government.

On Wednesday, in light of the elec-tion, President Obama announced that the U.S. would lift a travel ban on some of the country’s senior leaders and ease sanctions on American investments. This demonstrates a strong example of the United States’ ability to place sanc-tions on a country and then help facil-

itate a peaceful transition to a demo-cratic government.

Outright military rule in Myanmar ended last year when former military general Thein Sein took over as pres-ident. Since then, the outlook for a country that has been devastated by civil war since the late 1940s and mili-tary rule since 1990 has improved dras-tically.

This week’s election marks the first free election the country has seen in 22 years. The NLD won 43 of 44 chairs it contested in the country’s parliament, and in a reassuring message to the world, President Sein said he was happy with the outcome of the election.

While this is a positive step for

Myanmar, it’s important for the world to remember that Burma’s future remains unsure and that the country is still in the midst of violence.

According to a New York Times report from January, this year saw the end to a 17-year cease-fire between the Kachin Army – an opposition force from Northern Burma – and the Burmese Army. Despite President Sein’s efforts to rewrite oppressive policies and commands for the army to rein-state the cease-fire, the Burmese Army continues its offensive upon the oppo-sition fighters.

Talks to reinstate the cease-fire have gone on the past few months, and hope-fully the NLD’s victory will bring prog-

ress in those negotiations. The point is this; the world must not

demand a democratic government, oversee the revision of some draconian laws and then turn its back to Burma while allowing a bloody civil war to continue in its northern parts.

The election of President Sein and the addition of 43 NLD members in Parliament prove that sanctions and peaceful rhetoric can lead to positive change.

America, the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations should continue to exert their positive influence on this impressive new government to guarantee an end to violence in Burma.

Dating has changed so much in just the last few years with all of our new-fangled contraptions; text messaging, Skyping and Internet dating are just a few examples of digitally enhanced courting rituals.

Whatever happened to the time-honored tradition of f lowers and holding a door open? Can text messaging replace face to face intimacy? Is traditional romance dead?

In search of some answers, I asked a few random students on campus about what they want in the dating world today and what they feel is important to them.

Kristin Parra, a 20-year-old single junior, states that the last time she received f lowers was a Valentine’s Day present about two years ago. While she does not dislike flowers, she would rather be treated to a casual date than anything more formal. When speaking about the last date she went on, she says, “He picked me up [for the date] and opened the door for me each time I went in and out of the car.” She would also prefer to be contacted through text rather than on the phone when meeting with a poten-tial suitor.

Richard Wilkinson and Gerard Panther, both 21-year-old juniors, are currently in relationships. Both Wilkinson and Panther like to treat their girlfriends to flowers and feel that f lowers are necessary when they’ve “done something to make her mad.” They both prefer to talk on the phone rather than text.

Lea Sarodjo, a 22-year-old senior, is a bit less orthodox when it comes to dating. She says she does not like receiving f lowers because she

wants “someone to be genuinely sweet and not [get her] f lowers because someone else told them to.”

Sarodjo prefers to correspond through text in the initial stages of courtship. “I think there’s some-thing different when it comes to the phone rather than texting. Maybe just because I’m really awkward when it comes to the phone,” Sarodio said.

All in all, it seems that many women are afraid of being cliché with respect to receiving f lowers and going on an old-fashioned date. You know, dinner, movie, soda pop and being walked to the front door. Men seem to genuinely enjoy giving f lowers to show that they care. Texting is OK, but so is picking up the phone if you really mean it.

Being more personal and intimate upfront may shed new light where otherwise there was only darkness and confusion. Who knows, maybe you’ll feel a rare romantic spark: a spark that a computerized device simply cannot compare with.

In an attempt to push his anti-abor-tion agenda on all Texans, Governor Rick Perry implemented a law that bans funding from the state’s Medicaid Women’s Health Program from going to Planned Parenthood clinics, even though no federal funding is allocated towards abortions, a basic medical procedure.

His decision violates federal Medicaid rules by discriminating against quali-fied family planning providers, thus the Department of Health and Human Services cut off Medicaid funding for family planning in Texas, a total amount of $40 million, 90 percent of the entire program’s budget. The state has now lost the entire program that serves 130,000 low-income women by providing basic health care, including cancer screenings and contracep-tives.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated attack on reproductive health. With a slight glance back at 2011, one can see a long list of legislative and cultural attacks on the reproductive and sexual rights of working-class individuals and families. Often times, under the mask of “budget balancing,” politicians cut funding from programs that directly affect our health and well-being, such as public education, healthcare and environmental conservation, all the while funneling billions into imperialist wars and bank bailouts. In a system of institutionalized racism, sexism and homophobia, it is no wonder that minority communities have been hit the hardest by the economic crisis and the austerity that follows.

The good news is that there is some-thing we can do about it. If you think back to the events of 2011 once again, you will recall a growing intolerance for the bigotry and hatred coming from politicians and mainstream

cultural currents. There were move-ments against slut-shaming and victim blaming; Walk for Choice demanded full funding of Planned Parenthood and the right to obtain an abortion; the Occupy movement sparked discussions about exploitation and oppression, and motivated direct action in uniting the struggles of oppressed groups.

And now we are continuing that fight by building a stronger move-ment and showing our resistance to the attacks on our livelihood. On Saturday at 2 p.m., the Radical Alliance for Gender Equality, the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance and the International Socialist Organization are hosting a rally on the Square in response to the defunding of the Texas Medicaid Women’s Health Program. We want to invite anyone who supports reproductive justice to join us for this public speak-out, “Unite Against the War on Reproductive Healthcare.”

In the spirit of building a broad grass-roots movement, several local DFW activists are building in their cities for a statewide march and rally on April 28th in Austin at the Capitol.

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
