The red wind that swept through Congress in last week’s general election gave Republicans a dominant majority in the House and a slightly stronger minority in the Senate.

With a national deficit rapidly approaching $13.8 trillion, UNT, like many insti-tutions, faces tuition hikes and budget cuts, but may face another financial obstacle in the next year: a Republican ban on legislative provisional grants, or earmarks.

“There is a moratorium on earmarks in the Republican Party in the House,” said Rebekah West, staff member of Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas Distr ict 26, and executive director of the Congressional Health Care C auc u s . “C on g r e s s m a n Burgess supports that.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., reversed his stance on earmarks, announcing in a speech he presented Monday on the Senate f loor that he would back a ban in the Senate.

“There is simply no doubt

that the abuse of this practice has caused Americans to view it as a symbol of the waste and the out-of-control spending that every Republican in Washington is determined to fight,” McConnell said.

With Republican support for the ban in the House of Representatives and the Senate, some of the univer-

sity’s methods for getting money for things like research may change.

Since 2005, a lobbying firm known as Congressional Solutions Inc. has repre-sented UNT in D.C., said Deborah Leliaert, vice presi-dent for University Relations, C o m m u n i c a t i o n s a n d Marketing.

A joint panel of officials from the UNT Transportation depart-ment and the Denton County Transportation Authority sat before a group of about 25 students, faculty and staff Wednesday in a public forum to answer questions and seek input about the coming A-train.

The meeting, which took place at noon in University Union 411, was the final oppor-tunity for the public to talk with DCTA staff members about the proposed service sched-ules before they are finalized at today’s board meeting.

For an organization that has dealt exclusively with bus service since its creation, DCTA CEO Jim Witt acknowledged that it faces some new chal-lenges in providing commuter rail service.

“We are on the verge of embarking on a whole new mission,” Witt said. “It’s like a mission to Mars for us. We are going to attempt to do it in the most efficient and sustainable way possible.”

The project, which began with a county wide vote in 2002, features 21 miles of rail, five new train stations and

eig ht m i les o f h i k i n g a nd bi k ing trails. It will r u n f r o m d o w n t o w n D ent on t o Carrollton.

The DCTA l i n e w i l l c on ne c t to t h e D a l l a s Area Rapid Transit system to provide area residents rail access to much of the Dallas area, Witt said.

Dee Leggett, DCTA v ice president of communication

and planning, gave a brief presentation detai l ing the service plans and mitigating revenue shortfalls that she said have reduced the amount of hours and trains DCTA can afford to operate.

DCTA is financed through sales tax revenue and fares,

Leggett said. Fares make up about 15 percent of the $15 million annual budget with sales ta x revenue ma k ing up t he rest. She said t he ra i l ser v ice w i l l generate e c o n o m i c d e v e l o p m e n t throughout the county, but t hat w it h ha lf-a-cent per ever y ta x revenue dol la r going back to DCTA, it will take several years for the train to begin paying for itself.

UNT Police Chief Richard Deter heads the parking and transportation departments at the university. When asked if UNT plans on using student

transportation fees to pay for student A-train fares — as is done for DCTA bus service — Deter was quick to respond.

“We’ve had discussions about that, but right now we are not financially able to subsidize student ridership,” Deter said.

The university is working

to provide discounted tickets and offer fare packages for commuting students, he said.

Chris Walker is a senator who represented the Student Government Association at the meeting. He said the SGA is considering raising the $3.50 transportation student fee by a dollar to help the university provide additional coverage for students to use the A-train at a lower cost.

T he pr op os e d s er v ic e plans would provide peak-hour service in the morning and evening to accommo-date commuters. Options for special event, Saturday and Friday evening service are pending based on the board’s decision, Leggett said.

Sustainability will be the determining factor in the board’s decision, Witt said.

UNT students, faculty and staff are projected to make up about 60 percent of the ridership. Witt assured the attendees that their inter-ests will figure into the board’s decision.

“We want to provide the level of service UNT and the commu-nity is asking for,” Witt said. “The question is what can we afford to provide without cutting from current services.”

An entourage of nearly 100 protesters yelled through megaphones, waved f lags and held posters that read “No more money for Bush’s crimes,” “Rethink Afghanistan” a nd “A r rest Bu sh” on Wednesday night outside of the Coliseum.

The protesters gathered to object to George W. Bush’s speech, which began at 8 p.m.

Some campus organizations were at the rally, including the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, International Socialist Organization, Students for Justice of Palestine and Queer Liberaction.

“We don’t agree with Bush being allowed to come to campus to speak here,” said Irfan Hussain, a finance senior and member of Students for Justice of Palestine. “The war crimes that have occurred in

Palestine during his presidency — he is also responsible for [those].”

Although there were several reasons the protesters orga-nized the rally, calling Bush a war criminal was central to their chants.

“I believe that he and his administration were criminals because of the fact that he sanc-tioned water boarding, and that is a form a torture,” said Chitra Bhatt, a biology and political science freshman and member of the FMLA.

The protesters also objected to paying Bush “with their tuition money.”

“I do not agree with paying a multimillionaire from my tuition money to come out and speak at the same time that UNT is facing drastic budget problems and a hiring freeze to drive 45 minutes and lie to us about a war,” said Aron Duhon, a library science grad-uate student.

While about 100 protesters were present around 5 p.m., the number dwindled as the night went on. However, at about 7 p.m., Bush advocates started to strike back.

“I think this is a true Texan here, a true American and a war hero,” said Ryan Prokof, a criminal justice junior. “I think that it’s a load of crap that these people are disrespecting a true American.”

Police stood by as people from both sides yelled at each other and arguments progressed.

“Although everyone is enti-tled to their opinion, there’s no other reason to be out here [protesting] than just absolute ignorance,” said Hamilton Brooks, a pre-law junior. “You’re supposed to support the country that you live in.”

Denton residents were there to give their voice as well.

“We now have former presi-dent George W. Bush admit-ting publicly that he know-ingly did sanction torture,” said Jim Goodnow, a Vietnam veteran and Denton resident. “Not only do we have others tortured under his directions, but now our men and women are vulnerable, and that just isn’t my America.”

Two years after leaving office amid dismal approval ratings, a refreshed former President George W. Bush returned to the limelight with a speech about the accom-plishments, regrets and values that defined his two terms.

Speaking to the sold-out crowd of more than 7,000 Wednesday evening in the Coliseum, Bush, who is promoting his recently released autobiography “Decision Points,” didn’t shy away from an early tongue-and-cheek jab at his national caricature.

“I try to stay out of the limelight — except for selling my book,”

Bush said with a chuckle. “Which comes as a shock to some people in this country who didn’t think I could read, much less write.”

Bush shifted from serious to humorous, telling anecdotes about life in and out of the White House. He spoke about the first time he walked Barney, the family dog, through their Dallas neigh-borhood.

“We’re walking down the street and he spots my neigh-

bors’ yard,” Bush said. “Former President George W. Bush had a plastic bag on his hand, picking up that which I had dodged for eight years. Life is good.”

He focused much of the speech on the important role he said his faith plays in his life. He also emphasized his belief in the sepa-ration of church and state.

“The government should never say ‘you’re not equal if you happen to believe any certain religion,’” Bush said, as the crowd erupted in a chorus of applause. “We’re all equal.”

At the conclusion of his 40-minute speech, UNT President V. Lane Rawlins took the stage with Bush to read questions from the audience. After being asked what he felt was his great accomplish-ment while in office, Bush “tough-ened it up” by offering to address his biggest regret as well.

He said he felt his greatest accomplishment was being elected to a second term, while his biggest disappointment was “not bringing Osama Bin Laden to justice.”

He also expressed regret about the national perception that developed during Hurricane Katrina that he didn’t care about the situation. Bush defended his decision to stay in the Florida elementary school classroom after learning of the Sept. 11 attacks, saying he made the deci-sion to project calm to the chil-dren while the TV cameras were rolling nationally.

Anthony Schenk, an applied arts and sciences senior, said he thought it was important to come see Bush’s speech.

“I thought it was interesting that he conceded a few of his mistakes,” Schenk said. “He made amends and he was pretty humorous about it.”

The speech was interrupted on three occasions by demon-strations from student activists. About 15 people were escorted from the room after they stood from their floor seats and began chanting and waving banners that read “Give back the $$$.” Two other students were escorted during separate disruptions.

webcams and microphones to communi-cate online, she said.

A s a s o l u t i o n , Wittenberg-Ly le s s a id le s s u n f a-miliar tech-nology, like telephones, can be connected to computers and the Internet for patients to talk to the care team. This could make patients feel more comfortable than using webcams, she said.

According to the National

Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, more Americans are choosing to use hospice care as they age. The number of people who died in the U.S. while in a hospice program was 38.8 percent in 2008, but 41.6 percent of people who died in the U.S. last year were under hospice care.

“[Hospice] usually takes place in the home when you would normally have to go to a geographical location such as a hospital to access your health care provider,” Wittenberg-Lyles said. “It turns your home into the hospital, and a caregiver takes on a nursing role for the patient.”

Ronald Palmer, RN and director for clinical services at Universal Health Services in Fort Worth, said since tradi-tional health care is mostly medically based, hospice helps patients address the psychoso-cial, emotional and spiritual aspects of the dying process.

“People need someone to talk

things through with,” Palmer said.

T h e r e s e a r c h t e a m Wittenberg-Lyles is a part of will address issues of the hospice staff getting to patients in a timely manner for questions, general check-ins and routine conversations, Palmer said.

Wittenberg-Lyles also hopes to address problems with pain and symptom management.

“Our adva ncements in medica l technolog y have complicated the dying process,” she said. “It takes a lot longer to die now.”

Wittenberg-Lyles said the

pain and symptom management and communication aspect of hospice helps patients get to say their goodbyes and I love you’s. Patients in the ICU in hospitals don’t always get that chance.

Wittenberg-Lyles thinks students should be aware of the advancements in technology because they will affect them someday.

“I always tell students that these are the tools that you will one day use to care for your older family members,” she said.

The technology is at least 10 years out, Wittenberg-Lyles said. But eventually, she said, she hopes online videoconfer-encing between hospice teams, patients and their caregivers will be normal.

“When it comes to the end of life, Dr. Wittenberg-Lyles wants to help doctors and nurses get the tools to communicate better with patients,” Palmer said. “Her passion is huge. She has more energy for what she does than anybody I’ve ever met.”

ELAINE WITTENBERG-LYLES

BY MACKENZIE MICHELStaff Writer

The end of life can bring out a range of complicated emotions.

Many patients and their families turn to hospice care to help them through these experiences. Now, a UNT faculty member is part of a national team researching how online videoconferencing technology can help improve communication between the patient, caregivers and their hospice team.

Elaine Wittenberg-Lyles of the communication studies faculty, along with a team of researchers around the country, has been given a $2.1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for the four-year study.

“It is so rare to get funding from the National Institutes of Health for end-of-life studies, so we feel really special,” Wittenberg-Lyles said.

The study, which began Oct. 1, has eight people enrolled. The team hopes to have 544 people enrolled by the end of the study.

Wittenberg-Lyles said better communication would help patients receive better care.

Because most hospice care patients are elderly adults, it could take some time and help to get patients comfortable with using technology like

The Wednesday meeting of the Student Government Association was an abbreviated one with most of the senators hoping to attend the lecture by George W. Bush.

The SGA met at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday — an hour and 15 minutes before doors opened at the Coliseum for the event. The meeting consisted of a 10-minute discussion, much of which was dominated by a back-and-forth concerning the effectiveness of SGA’s regular Meet Your Senator events.

Some senators were concerned the events weren’t serving their purpose and weren’t drawing enough attention, especially after the successful Carts for Cancer served the same purpose.

“I think what we’re doing right now is not effective,” said Sean Smallwood, a College of Arts and Sciences senator. “It’s kind of like beating one of those dead horses.”

The SGA is UNT’s student-led governmental body.

Chris Walker, a College of Music senator, said the ability for people to speak with their senators during Carts for Cancer and for students to write their concerns on the Post-It notes the freshman interns distributed were better ways of reaching out to their constituents.

Sydnee Wagner, a College of Arts and Sciences senator, said having student input is a more effective way of reaching out to people.

“The sticky notes really worked out because that was about them,” Wagner said.

Jo e l A r r e d o n d o, S G A speaker, said the idea of Meet Your Senator is a good one.

It would help if the execu-tive branch and the Student Senate worked together in the future so similar events could be integrated with other SGA activities, Arredondo said.

“I don’t think we should scrape Meet Your Senator,” A r r e d ond o s a id . “I d o think our events need to be combined.”

“Congressional Solutions is paid $15,000 per month for their services,” she said.

During that time, UNT has seen a return of $43.3 million from the federal government to fund a variety of research, health outreach and educa-tion programs, according to a UNT System federal appro-

priations chart.“T h at ’s a t r emendou s

return,” said Tony Carey of the political science faculty.

Congressional Solutions’ s e r v ic e s h a v e pr ov ide d federa l money t hat UN T wouldn’t have gotten other-wise, Leliaert said.

The money received has been used for things like the Center for Advanced Research and Technology, the Institute for Science and Engineering Simulation, and the Center for Ad v a nc e d S c ient i f ic Computing and Modeling,

she said. The firm does more than

represent specific UNT inter-ests in Congress, Leliaert said. It serves as the university’s eyes and ears in Washington, monitoring and reporting on government programs that may be relevant to UNT.

This allows UNT to gear itself toward money that will be available, she said.

Every year the UNT System publishes a Federal Initiatives Program Prospectus, referred to as the “green book,” and uses it to represent UNT to Congress.

The 2011 fiscal year “green book” highlights UNT System funding initiatives, new and ex ist ing, according to the prospectus. Existing initia-t ives include resea rch in opt ha lmolog y a nd neuro-c h e m i s t r y f o r m i l i t a r y m e m b e r s a n d d e f e n s e appropr iat ion s for eng i-neering research in military

aircraft.New init iat ives include

DNA a na lysis, renewable energ y and l ight ing solu-tions, hearing and audiology research, and community-based health education.

“ T he s o c i a l go o d [ of earmarks] tends to outweigh the negative,” Carey said.

There are other ways for universit ies to get money if earmarks disappear, he said.

The first alternative is for schools to enter the compet-itive grant review process, Carey said.

We s t e c h o e d C a r e y ’s words.

Universities will still have an application process and won’t lose all funding, she said.

“We can’t carve out certain earmarks because it can be abused,” West said.

A b a n o n e a r m a r k s shouldn’t affect tuition rates at UNT, Carey said.

“[The ba n] wou ld on ly impact certain projects,” he said.

The university would raise tuition is if it st i l l wanted to implement projects and needed the extra funds, Carey said.

Ban e� ects may be limited

BY RAEGAN POOLStaff Writer

UNT gained two promising swimmers this season, hailing from the second-largest country in terms of area, occupying 9,984,670 square kilometers.

Freshman Natalie Jakopin and sophomore transfer Joanna Wozniak came from Etobicoke, Ontario — a Denton-esque town outside of Toronto. Toronto is to Etobicoke as Dallas is to Denton.

While the towns are similar, there is one thing Texas has to offer: better food.

“I love the food,” Wozniak said. “It’s really good here.”

With Taco Bell as the closest thing to Mexican food in Canada, Wozniak is a big fan of Tex-Mex, especially quesadillas.

“Food is a lot different. There’s so much more to eat here than in Etobicoke,” Jakopin laughingly agreed.

In the BeginningThe Canadian natives were

introduced to swimming at young ages.

Jakopin began at 6 months in a tots swimming program, where she earned her “froggie and turtle badges,” Jakopin’s father Ludvik Jakopin said.

“Around 9 or 10 years the competitive part started,” he said.

She began training two times a week, then advanced to nine.

“As the years went by, her commitment increased with many double-day workouts,” Ludvik Jakopin said.

Her family overflows with athletes from a track star to a world champion tri-athlete to a professional hockey player, for which Canada is most popular.

“Canada continues to produce successful student-athletes and basically great people,” Ludvik Jakopin said. “Sports become the vehicle to teach life’s lessons.”

Wozniak experimented with cross country and ballroom dance before swimming, she said.

“I felt like I was already ahead of a lot of people, so it was really motivating,” the University of New Orleans transfer said.

Meet Me in the ClubWozniak and Jakopin met

around age 10 in community swim clubs. Both were members of the North York Aquatics Club under coach Murray Drudge and the Etobicoke Swim Club under head coach Kevin Thorburn.

Jakopin called ESwim her second home.

“Most of my focus was in my club team, which is where I trained and pretty much lived,” she said.

Her last year at ESwim, Jakopin ranked in the top group and qual-ified for the senior nationals — “the highlight of my entire year,” the enthusiastic swimmer said.

Under Thorburn, Wozniak qualified for the 2008 Olympic Trials. She swam for two national record-setting relay teams and made the 2006 Ontario Tour Team.

“Joanna worked hard. You got the feeling that she really loved her swimming,” Thorburn said. “Natalie had a great work ethic and a positive attitude second to none.”

Wozniak left the club team for UNO in 2009, while Jakopin remained at ESwim to complete her senior year of high school.

At UNO, Wozniak recorded her name in the 2009-2010 top times list multiple times. She placed eighth the 2010 Sun Belt Conference Championships in

the 400-yard individual medley.

The Mean GreenThe lifelong teammates

reunited this year at UNT. Jakopin chose UNT after several other recruiting trips.

“When I came here, it all just fell into place,” she said. “Coach’s

One quality that sepa-rates college basketball from any other NCAA sport is the constant parity t hat ex ists for all teams competing.

W h i l e politics and s el f i s h ne s s p e r p e t u a t e a completely awful system that decides who is the national champion in football, anything is possible for a college basketball team.

Teams like George Mason, Davidson or Northern Iowa will have no problem validating this idea and are evidence that with the right people in place, teams can go from a running punch line to a household name.

This is certainly good news for the UNT men’s basketball team, fresh off a home victory against Texas Tech, which solid-ified UNT as one of the best teams in the state.

Beating a Big 12 school was a huge deal for Jones and his players because it allowed UNT to take the potential “next step” in its basketball program.

Currently known as a team that can surprise people and make the NCAA Tournament now and then, the Mean Green can become a club that expects to make the national tourna-ment with wins like this.

The national recognition is already there — almost every sports magazine and news-paper picked the Mean Green to win the Sun Belt and UNT is currently ranked No. 15 on the top 25 mid-major poll. Keep in mind that was before the Tech win.

The team is also being recog-nized on a smaller level, as the Mean Green faithful came out and made a difference during the win.

At one point the people at the

Super Pit played DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win,” which includes the lyrics “Every time I step up in the building, everybody’s hands go up.” This was only appropriate for a crowd that made Tech feel it was playing in a different country.

With the local fans and national analysts on board with this team, the founda-tion for this program to grow has been laid.

Recent events provide a clear example of that, as Jones and company just finished signing the No. 31 class in the country.

Leading the class is star forward Jordan Williams, who is arguably the biggest signing in school history.

When asked about Williams, one high school coach said if he isn’t Sun Belt Player of the Year by sophomore year, there’s something seriously wrong.

Picking up this type of talent isn’t any type of coinci-dence; it’s part of the formula to become a successful and winning program. Winning plus great coaching plus a great

environment to play in equals better players coming to play for you.

It’s not e equals mc squared, but more often than not that’s how it works.

This is the best class in UNT’s esteemed history, with more talent than the Mean Green’s senior class right now. There will likely be a quick down year next season after our seniors graduate, but UNT isn’t going anywhere.

Thanks to recent success and signature wins like Tech, there has never been a better time to be a UNT basketball fanatic.

‘O Canada! Our home and native land!’

training here is amazing. The whole philosophy of the swim team is what I wanted. Overall, it felt like a family.”

Jakopin shined in both her athletic ability and her attitude.

“She’s always smiling. She’s just got a real positive outlook

on life,” head coach Joe Dykstra said. “In addition to being a really good swimmer, she’s a really good person to have on your team ‘cause she helps the other athletes maintain the right kind of attitude.”

Jakopin’s influential positive attitude stretches from Texas to

her family in Canada.“Her success infects us all —

feeling the pride in accomplish-ment, being an example of paying the price and gaining the bless-ings that come from that,” Ludvik Jakopin said.

Wozniak came to UNT after UNO dropped from a Division I team to a Division III team.

“We looked at a few of their athletes and she’s one that stood out that we wanted to pursue,” Dykstra said. “I had a chance to see her swim against us in a dual meet last year and at the confer-ence championships.”

Both have recorded their names multiple times in the 2010-2011 Top Five Times List and the Top Performers List.

“They’ll both talk about indi-vidual goals and accomplishments, but they’ll both bring up team goals to the forefront,” Dykstra said. “They’re both truly team people and they want to do well because it will help the team.”

Women’s basketball head coach Shanice Stephens was very clear about how her team will rebound from a tough loss when it faces George Washington University on Sunday.

“We’re going to win the game,” she said.

The Mean Green (1-1) was defeated by the quick-striking Oral Roberts University (2-1) on Sunday. UNT gave up the most points in school history, 120, in the defeat.

“To beat George Washington, we need to play our defense and take care of the ball,” junior guard Brittney Hudson said. “In the Oral Roberts game, we scored the ball well, but we were trading baskets and we can’t do that.”

The game will be UNT’s second of eight consecutive road games before returning to the Super Pit on Dec. 8.

George Washington (0-2) will play its first home game of the season tonight against Coppin State University (1-1) before Sunday’s game against UNT.

that went down to the wire. However, like so many other games last season, the Mean Green found itself on the wrong end of the result.

“I remember we had them the whole way and then we fell apart,” Stephens said. “Now, we’re a much better team. Even

though we are on their f loor, I still feel good about our advan-tage.”

In last season’s 84-82 win, GWU’s 6-foot-5-inch junior center Sara Mostafa domi-nated the paint with 17 points and 11 rebounds. On Sunday, the Mean Green will also have to deal with redshirt senior Ivy Abiona, who didn’t play in last year’s game. Abiona aver-aged 12 rebounds through the Colonials’ first two games.

“They have some good size,” Stephens said. “Since we don’t have size, we really need to press the ball and I think good things will happen.”

UNT freshman for ward Ash’Lynne Evans stands at just

under six feet tall and may be able to solve some of the prob-lems the team had with GWU last season.

“I feel like coming in as a freshman, I’ve done pretty good,” Evans said. “I still have a lot to learn, though.”

The freshman has started

in each of the team’s first two games and is averaging 9 points and five rebounds a game.

However, before the game itself, the team will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“We’re actually going in a day early because on Saturday we get to go to the White House at 10 a.m. and go take a tour,” Stephens said. “We called our representative and since we’re going to the area, we thought that would be the best way to maximize our time in D.C.”

The team will get time to relax after the White House tour before the game starts. Tip off will be at noon Sunday from the Smith Center in Washington, D.C.

Athlete of the Week: Kicker catapults Mean Green

Freshman kicker Zach Olen made a 53-yard field goal against Middle Tennessee last Saturday in UNT’s 23-17 win. It was the longest made by a UNT kicker since 2001 and earned him SBC Special Teams Player of the Week for the third time.

When freshman kicker Zach Olen stepped up to attempt a 53-yard field goal against Middle Tennessee last Saturday, the Mean Green was in need of a big boost going into halftime. Wearing yellow-green Nikes, Olen stepped up and nailed the long kick, which was a career-long for him. It was also the longest field goal made by a UNT kicker since 2001.

Olen knows how to make clutch kicks quite well. In his freshman year at Richardson Berkner High School, Olen nailed a game-winning field goal to push Berkner past Dallas Carter High

School in the second round of the playoffs.

So when Olen trotted to the mammoth field goal attempt on Saturday, he told himself he would be able to put the ball through the uprights.

His efforts didn’t go unno-ticed. Olen was named Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player

of the Week for the third time this season.

“If you don’t have confidence, you can’t make it being a kicker,” he said. “If you don’t believe in yourself, or don’t think you can do it or fall under pressure, kick-ing’s probably not for you.”

The Mean Green entered the season in need of a reliable kicker. Jeremy Knott, who went 10-of-15 on field goals last season, gradu-ated, leaving a void in the roster. At first, the job was awarded to sophomore Trent Deans.

“I was little frustrated, but I let Deans do it, someone that had experience,” Olen said. “I was struggling at the beginning. I just kept my head up, kept doing

my thing.” However, the job was later

given to Olen, who made his debut against Arkansas State.

He shined against the Red Wolves, going 4-for-4 on the night. Only one other kicker in NCAA history has been perfect on more attempts in his collegiate debut.

The night would be a sign

of things to come. The true freshman has continued to play at a high level, hitting 10-of-12 attempts on the season. Since he came in at such a late stage in the season, Olen will not be eligible for any NCAA or confer-ence statistics lists because he won’t have played in a required 75 percent of the team’s games.

“You just look at the number of field goals he’s made in some key situations,” interim head coach Mike Canales said. “He’s done a great job, but he’s shown it on the field in the things that we’ve asked him to do.”

Ironically, football was not Olen’s first sport of choice. Instead, he picked up soccer, playing midfielder and forward until his junior year, when he decided to dump his first love and solely play football.

Olen almost never made it to where he is today. He was origi-nally set on not playing football in high school, but his father had already signed him up for a foot-ball camp and wanted him tow at least finish it. By the end of the week, Olen was handed a jersey and a spot on varsity as the team’s kicker.

“He came home that day and proceeded to tell us that the coaches wanted him to play varsity,” John Olen, Zach’s father, said. “We thought surely he was mistaken, and if anything, junior varsity. He proceeded to tell us that he thought he knew

the difference between JV and varsity.”

Olen made the most of his time as the starting kicker for Berkner in his four years at the school, earning a scholarship to UNT.

When he isn’t knocking down kicks in high-pressure situations, Olen can be caught sleeping, or playing the new installment in the “Call of Duty” video game series.

While Olen’s trademark golden boots have caught a lot of atten-tion since his high school days, he also bears a tattoo of a cross on his right arm, showing the world

his religious beliefs. Before games, Olen drops to a

knee to “thank the Man above.” Olen has always been adven-

turous and confident strolling through his trek at UNT. John Olen recalls a time when his son showed a sense of fearlessness, something that he still possesses to this day.

“I’ll never forget when he was 5 years old, he got on a plane, and he wanted to go visit his grandma in Wisconsin. So he got on a plane by himself, we walked him on, and he marched off like he had done it a hundred times before.

He sat down and his seat and said, ‘See ya!’”

As he has skyrocketed to become one of the best kickers in the conference, Olen is pursuing a degree in kinesiology, with aspi-rations of one day becoming a kicking instructor.

Based on his track record, he will have a lot to teach kids one day. He might end up having a story to tell about the one time he hit a game-winning field goal in college.

As of right now, the issue is more of when it happens, not if it happens.

Round 1 awaits Mean Green and Red Wolves tonightBy Laura ZamoraSports Editor

Round 1 is giving the division

co-champions a chance to settle their 2010 rivalry once and for all.

The Mean Green (19-12, 11-5) faces Sun Belt West divi-sion co-champ Arkansas State

(17-11, 11-5) tonight in the first round of the SBC Tournament in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

The teams have met twice this season already, splitting the two matches. The No. 4 Red Wolves

defeated the No. 5 Mean Green 3-1 on Oct. 8 in Denton, but UNT retaliated with a 3-2 victory on ASU’s home court on Nov. 6.

“I feel that in conference tour-nament play, you throw out what happened in the regular season and start fresh,” head coach Ken Murczek said.

UNT and ASU split the West division title after both finishing the regular season with an 11-5 conference record. The Red Wolves earned the higher seed because of a set-victory advan-tage.

“I’m sure both teams will be pretty anxious to play each other again,” Murczek said. “It should be a good match.”

The title is the Mean Green’s first since 2006 and its second since joining the Sun Belt in

2000. UNT earned the No. 4 seed in the 2006 SBC Tournament.

The match’s winner will face either No. 1 Middle Tennessee or No. 8 South A l a b a m a in Round 2 on Fr iday. Tournament-host MTSU (25-5, 15-1) won the East division title this season and the conference tourna-ment last year. Round 2’s winner advances to Saturday’s champi-

onship game.The duo has an SBC tourna-

ment history, with ASU sweeping UNT in three sets in the first round back in 2000. UNT then did the same to ASU in the first round in 2003.

At Wednesday’s conference banquet, senior outside hitter Amy Huddleston was named to the SBC All-Conference first team and junior setter Kayla Saey was named to the second team.

“We’re planning on staying the whole weekend,” Murczek said. “Hopefully we get to compete in the finals and continue our season after a co-champs finish in the West side of our conference.”

Round 1 against the Red Wolves begins at 7:30 tonight in the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

“Now, we’re a much better team. Even though we are on their floor, I still feel good about our advantage.”

The mission: topple a king.That is what attendees of Chess

Night have on their minds when they enter the North Branch of the Denton Public Library.

On Mondays at 6 p.m., the library’s program room fills with a friendly tension as chess players of all levels spend their evenings manipulating kings, queens, knights and pawns.

Michael Borys, president of the Denton Chess Club, said he heard about the club several years ago from a friend.

Borys said he likes playing chess because there is no chance involved.

“It’s 100 percent pure thinking,” Borys said, while playing two games of chess at the same time. “And not many games are like that.”

Borys said the club provides everything needed and anyone is welcome.

Telles Cade, a biology soph-omore, said he would be inter-ested in attending the event if his schedule allowed it.

“I played chess last Saturday and got beat pretty bad,” Cade said.

Despite that, Cade said he’s interested in the game because he likes to figure things out.

First MoveSian Brannon, manager of the

North Branch, said the club began in 2004.

Brannon said its members are talkative and friendly and welcome people of all skill levels.

“They’re more than willing to teach people the rules and strategies,” Brannon said.

Carmen Grant, a public services librarian, said a former librarian who loved the game started the program.

“In the last five years it’s really taken off,” Grant said. “And we have a really good group of people managing it.”

Though Grant enjoys the chess group, she said there is one aspect she is not happy with.

“There are more guys than girls, and that’s disheartening,” she said.

Still, Grant thinks the chess club is a notable group and understands why people are drawn to it.

“It’s a great avenue, espe-cially for children to learn a skill of concentration, strategy and problem solving,” she said.

A Welcome VisitorDoug Root of the biology

faculty occasionally visits the weekly chess club meeting. Root was the highest-rated chess player in Texas in 2008, after finishing fourth in the U.S. Open when it came to Dallas.

While finger painting and eating glue are some elemen-tary school students’ idea of art class, the UNT chapter of the National Art Educators Association strives to enhance art education for children in a fun way.

Kirah Strnad, a visual art studies and drawing and painting senior, is president of the UNT chapter. Strnad and roughly 30 association members are up-and-coming undergraduate art educators who volunteer their time and energy to teach local school children the importance of art.

“Giving students an educa-tion in art, a visual form of communication, is a great way to give them a voice,” Strnad said.

The group does several events with local schools.

This year the group had three family art night events at Hodge Elementary and Lee Elementary in Denton as well as Bledsoe Elementary in Frisco.

At the events, the children use crafts to construct art forms tied to a theme with the help of the association members. One theme was Latin American art, Strnad said.

“I think it’s a good way to

Student group enhances childrens’ art lessons

get hands-on experience in the teaching field,” said Bryn Flowers, an education junior. “In some of my classes you have to present possible lesson plans, but it’s hard if you have no expe-rience. This gives good prac-tice and it’s a connection with schools.”

Last semester with the help of Denton High School students, the group painted the mural on the side of Recycled Books.

“Art is a general form of communication,” Strnad said. “I think it’s important for kids to be able to understand and interpret art.”

The students designed the mural while the group helped paint. A site is still being consid-ered for this semester’s mural. One possible location is Calhoun Middle School, Strnad said.

Bob Hingtgen, a mathe-matics graduate student and

math teacher, said he wishes his students liked math as much as most students like art.

“Anything that opens up their minds at a young age is good,” he said.

The group has recently helped former member Rebecca Schaefer gather art supplies for a trip to Uganda.

Schaefer, an art teacher at Rasor Elementary in Plano and UNT alumna, is currently in Uganda as part of an art exchange project between her students and children in Uganda.

“I think projects like this are incredibly important,” Strnad said. “Countries like Uganda receive a lot of aid for the basics of survival like food and medical care which is vital, but not a lot of attention is given to anything beyond pure physical survival. Education in many parts of Uganda is rife with problems.”

Most college students have a job to depend on. Others are lucky enough to put their talent to good use and make some cash — especially with the holidays around the corner.

Photographers have to get past the myth that the photography business is dying, said visual communications professor Ben Weaver.

His advice to photographers is not to believe this myth, but to try different ways to go about it.

“You can make a good living at it and make as much money as you want to depending on the type of photography you do and how hard you work,” he said.

Emily Schwarting, a commu-nication design senior, said her love for photography started when she joined the UNT photography club and covered fashion events.

She loves to take senior portraits, but stays away from weddings.

“I’m not comfortable doing a wedding. There are too many important moments that you

only get one chance to capture,” she said.

Weaver admitted he’s not the best photographer for weddings.

“Weddings are for [a] special type of photographers,” he said. “There’s a lot of hands-on before and after the wedding,” he said.

Ana Morales, an elementary education sophomore, loves taking pictures of people. Her first photo shoot was doing engagement pictures for Sue Kupper, who found her work online.

“I was going to call the profes-sors at UNT and TWU to see who they would recommend, but then I stumbled into some work students put on the Web,” Kupper said. “A lot of them had abstract stuff, but Ana actually had people so [she and her fiancé] thought we’d give her a shot.”

Morales took up photog-raphy in high school and uses it to express herself.

“I can’t draw or anything, so photography is my thing to express my emotions,” she said.

As much as she loves photog-

Students use photography for extra cash

raphy, it comes with a few head-aches, Morales said.

“People don’t understand I’m a student first and want their stuff fast,” she said. “I’m going

to finish editing the pictures; it’s just going to take a bit longer.”

Morales’ usual rate is $50. For weddings it varies on what people want to pay but can be as much

as $100 because they’re more stressful and time consuming, she said.

Morales is studying to become an elementary teacher, but

plans to keep photography as a hobby.

“It would be awesome to do something career-wise with photography,” she said.

he said. “I like the logic that’s involved in the game. It’s easy to focus on.”

Sheryl WuDunn, the first Asian-A merican Pulitzer Prize winner, will speak about her latest book, “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide,” at 7:30 tonight in the Lyceum.

WuDunn received a Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing with her husband.

“I think many people are unaware of the situations of women globally,” said director of women’s studies Sandra

Spencer. “It will be very enlightening for the public to have her insight.”

“We became slave owners in the 21st century,” WuDunn says in the book, which discusses how she bought two slave girls from a Cambodian brothel with her husband. The girls were theirs to do with what they liked, so the couple gave them the option of freedom.

The book highlights issues affecting women around the world such as health care, human trafficking and lack of education and opportunities. Cambodia stands between Vietnam and China, the breeding grounds for traf-

f ick ing of w o m e n a nd ch i l-dren from these two cou nt r ies, accord i ng to human-trafficking.org.

However, human trafficking is a global issue and is found throughout the world.

“The book is an extremely powerful piece of writing,” said Mary Beth Butler, UNT Internat iona l communi-cations director. “We are bringing people to UNT to say things we don’t hear every day. This is a university that believes in the diversity of ideas, so this is very impor-tant.”

WuDunn’s appearance is part of UNT’s Encounters International Speakers Series, which brings internation-ally prominent speakers to campus to promote multicul-tural awareness.

“International speakers help us to see things from a completely different perspec-tive,” said psychology junior Josh Tollison. “[They] allow us to understand issues on a global level rather beyond what we see on TV or read in a magazine.”

“I would hope that WuDunn would encourage students to get informed about and involved with causes that affect women worldwide,” Spencer said. “Her discussion will show how other people live. This book doesn’t have all the answers, but it does ask a lot of questions.”

More than a billion children around the world are living in poverty and are hungry, forced to work and deprived of an education, according to iamsilent.com.

Their voices are not being heard, the website said, so millions of people around the world are going silent on Friday as part of Vow of Silence, a campaign used as a metaphor to support the cause.

“I can’t do much, being a broke college kid,” said Sarah Hunter, a radio, television and film freshman. “Maybe if I start small, I will find myself doing bigger and greater things.”

To some participants, the vow means refraining from verbal interaction. To others, it includes a break from texting, e-mails and Facebook. Some even plan to avoid hand gestures altogether.

“It’s just a day for students to learn more about children’s rights,” said Zoe Simpson, the youth programming coordi-nator for the operation. “We’ve been doing it for several years, and we’ve created about 3,500

youth groups around the world. It’s pretty exciting.”

T h e Vo w o f S i l e n c e campaign, started by the Free the Children program, was developed in 1995 by then-12-year-old Craig Kielburger after he read an article about a child in Pakistan who was killed for being a child labor

activist. Kielburger gathered some friends and put on bake sales and lemonade stands to raise money for the cause, Simpson said.

Participants are living 24 hours in silence to promote

awareness for children. Some are accepting pledges by the second, minute or hour they are silent.

The money goes to Free the Children, Simpson said, and they use it to develop clean water, health care and schools in seven different developing countries.

Free t he Ch i ld ren has worked in 45 countries to provide education, health-care, clean water and alter-native income programs for unemployed mothers. The organization has built nearly 650 schools since its estab-lishment.

“We’re trying to get people to write whatever issue they care about most on their shirts to symbolize who they are going si lent for,” Simpson said.

Hunter said she loves to talk but plans to cut off all commu-nication, inwcluding the use of her cell phone and laptop.

She said she believes staying silent for 24 hours will be a challenge, but it is worth it for the cause.

“Kids living in poverty has always been something I cared about,” Hunter said. “I love to talk… but I believe I can do it.”

As the semester winds down, many students are finishing out their college career, while others have just begun.Snack to Save, a group hosting a bake sale with all proceeds donated to the Denton Humane Society, is a required project for a course called “exploring leadership,” which focuses on giving back to the community. The freshman seminar, created this fall, established courses for freshmen who are undecided about their major.

Snack to Save will set up a table today on the northeast side of the University Union from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.“I was interested in doing some-thing that wasn’t the traditional course work,” said Marla Ross, a development and family studies and fiber arts freshman. “I wanted to get involved with the community.”

A Setting for Snacking

“We wanted to do something outside and we’ve noticed people are hungry while they’re going in between classes,” she said.

Due to university policy, Snack to Save can only sell pre-packed treats. Cookies, muffins and granola bars will be sold for $1, said Taylor Archer, an undecided business freshman.

Animal rights volunteers will be there to inform students about how they can get involved with the Denton Humane Society, Archer said.

Snack to Save hopes to raise $200 for the organization, Ross said.

“There are so many animals that aren’t being helped right now,” said Melissa McGuire, director of orientation and tran-sitions programs. “We need to support them.”

Karla Palomares, an inter-national studies sophomore, purchased goods from the bake sale on Tuesday.

“Snack to Save serves a moral cause without anticipating a profit other than the satisfac-tion of helping the community,” she said.

Path to SuccessOne in five American college

students graduate with the major they first chose upon entering college, said Dale Tampke, dean of undergraduate studies.

“We feel like there’s no crime in being undecided,” he said. “I congratulate them on being honest.”

The freshman seminar provides students with tools to

maintain a good grade-point average, time management and critical-thinking skills while figuring out which major to pursue, Tampke said.

“We feel like we’re equipping students to make a thoughtful decision for now and later,” he said. “We hope it remains at a higher level.”

About 25 percent of freshmen are not in good academic standing after their f irst semester, Tampke said.

“Your GPA is kind of like currency. If you don’t have a good GPA, then you’re out of money,” he said.

McGuire chose to teach the courses featured in the seminar because she believes in the value of leadership, she said.

“We want students to walk away understanding how indi-viduals can make a larger impact on the community and a differ-ence in someone else’s life,” she said.

O n Tue s d a y I h a d a disturbing experience that I wouldn’t care to repeat. As I went through my morning routine, I tried to log in to Facebook to see if anything catastrophic had happened overnight and how my friends were. The return message made my blood run cold: My account had been disabled.

Nothing can compare to Facebook right now. Being cut off from the site is as bad as breaking your phone or having your e-mail malfunc-tion. And it’s not just about one’s social life.

Deep ImpactFor me, Facebook isn’t just

a social networking site; it’s a tool I use in my job as Copy Chief. That’s right; if I can’t check a source’s name in UNT’s directory, Facebook is my second stop. (And to those of you who put in real profile photos so I can tell you’re a college student and not a baby or puppy: thank you.) It’s also the place I go to check infor-mation about student groups when the Daily covers them. (And to those of you who keep your organization’s info up to date: thank you very much.) I had to borrow a co-work-er’s account for the evening instead.

I sent an e-mail to the support staff saying I didn’t know why I was kicked off.

I a lso read the site’s FAQ sect ion, which reads l ike an automatic guilty verdict. All I could find on the topic insisted that I had most likely been removed for offensive conduct or content. I racked my brain tr y ing to f igure out why Facebook disabled me without any warning or explanation. Had I harassed anyone? I barely update my own status, let alone post on my friends’ walls. I wasn’t sending out spam or phishing, and I keep my profile squeaky-clean. Perhaps t hey were offended by the photo of me hugging a tree? It was strictly platonic. (Though he did ask if I was on Facebook.)

Enlightenment At LastAfter I got home from work

last night, I finally learned why it happened. According to CNNMoney.com, a bug in the system that looks for fake accounts kicked off a number of legitimate users, most ly female by reports. People f lew to Twitter imme-diately to complain. Facebook representat ives sa id t hat only a very small percentage of accounts were disabled. Luckily, though, I was back on the website Tuesday night, and I wasn’t forced to scan a government-issued ID to prove my account’s authenticity as the site earlier requested. But other users were st i l l

waiting to get back on after that, and some complained they were still being held to the ID requirement. With the complaints about Facebook’s handling of personal infor-mation, it’s understandable why people are so reluctant to do this in the age of iden-tity theft.

To me, it’s very disturbing that one website has such an impact on our daily lives. I ask myself: What would have happened to me if I hadn’t been reinstated so quickly? Users are completely at the mercy of a remote support team that is forever swamped with e-mail requests. There’s no human contact, not even a number to call and be bored to death by an automated system.

Although my account was reactivated, on Wednesday morning I got an e-mail stating I had made a fake account and the team would not reinstate me for any reason. I particu-larly liked the closing: “Thanks for your understanding.” That was the cherry pit on top. This brings me to another dilemma I faced yesterday: Should I just go ahead and create another account with a separate e-mail address? Many people do that, but this is problematic as well. It would be hard to find all my previous friends and redo the profile I’ve worked on over the years.

But even worse was the possi-bility that Facebook’s team might catch on to the rule violation. With the system’s overwhelming presumption of guilt, it would destroy any chance of appeal I could try. Sure, it’s unlikely I would have been caught. It was also unlikely that I would be one of the users whose account was disabled. “Unlikely” loses its significance when you’re the one affected.

The Moral of the StorySo what have I learned from

this experience? Twitter is actually more useful than I’d realized, and I’m going to use it more so I can rely less on Facebook. I think of it as a way to not put all my eggs in one basket. How fitting Twitter’s mascot is a bird.

Disrespect crosses the aisle at Bush speech

Facebook team is faceless entity

Editorial

{{{

Campus ChatHas UNT met your expectations

since your first semester?

“Yeah, I came in understanding that it was

a good business and music school, and that’s what I

needed for my major and minor.”

“Yes, I was impressed by professors the most.”

“Yes, it has surpassed my expectations because I

didn’t know what to expect. It was very welcoming and

friendly when I got here. Overall, it has been a great

experience so far.”

As a group of International Socialist Organization members, a veteran and two Dallas residents gathered at the Coliseum to protest President Bush’s speech Wednesday, chants and debates were raging on both sides.

Outside of the event, many attendees became disre-spectful and out of line to those voicing their disagree-ment with the university paying the former president $100,000 to speak. However, on the side, the immature behavior shifted to protesters who disrupted the former president’s speech three different times by yelling obseni-ties and starting chants.

The Editorial Board believes many Bush supporters treated the group of about 30 protesters who gathered at 7 p.m. before the speech began with disrespect and dished out irrelevant, sexist insults to them. Protesters then gave that same inappropriate behavior inside the Coliseum.

Outside the eventAt one point a protester and a supporter were engaging in

a debate. The supporter yelled at her saying shouting and sign waving wouldn’t create change. She responded saying that is just how women’s suffrage came about. Another supporter got involved and told the female protester, “Go make me a sandwich [expletive].”

While ISO members shouted “No peace! No justice!” speech attendees yelled back “Hey, go get a job!”

During the speechThere were of course instances where protesters screamed

obscenities. The three incidents inside the speech where protesters yelled and interrupted Bush’s speech were also immature and ineffective.

Protesting and free speech are useful vehicles for change, but both sides of the argument should be polite to each other to create that change. What we saw at the Bush speech was embarrassing.

Bush supporters kept telling protesters to show respect to a former president but were not willing to do the same for ISO members. The image of the university wasn’t lost only on the part of protesters yelling during Bush’s actual speech, but also when attendees engaged in low blows against those with conflicting opinions.

With such an opportunity for the university, it’s a shame that attendees and protesters couldn’t act in a more civil way. A debate will most likely get heated to the point of yelling, but both sides get their point across more effectively in a calmer argument with relevant points. Sexism, inter-ruptions and inappropriate insults contribute nothing.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
