Six undergraduate students from five different depart-ments will have the oppor-tunity to pursue individual research projects and get paid $10 an hour.
Out of more than 50 depart-ments at UNT, five will receive a grant for $8,000 each. The money will fund undergrad-uate research programs in which students will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty.
UNT’s provost office allo-cated $40,000 for the program, said Celia Williamson, deputy provost and dean of under-graduate studies.
“Most of the money is set aside to pay students,” said Gloria Cox, dean of the honors college. “Our students often have to have part-time jobs and we like the idea of their engaging in research and getting paid for it.”
Cox said program supervi-sors think paid research oppor-tunities are more enriching than working for local compa-nies and restaurants.
The actual research will concentrate on topics of interest to the respective departments, Williamson said.
Students will work side-by-side with faculty members whi le conduct ing t heir research, Cox said.
“This will be one-on-one mentoring, but it will be in a department where you have some kind of momentum…we don’t want people working
in isolation,” she said. “We want that camaraderie that community develops when people from a department are working together.”
This is the second year this program has been offered at UNT, Wiliamson said.
Last year, the provost’s office allocated $20,000 that was split between two depart-ments, foreign language and English.
No departments have been selected for the grant yet and won’t be until Sept. 28, Cox said.
They will receive their money within a week, she said.
“In the ‘request for proposal,’ we will favor departments that don’t have as many opportuni-ties to get funding from outside sources,” Cox said.
Of the five departments selected, each will be asked to identify six faculty members and six students from each so that the new undergraduate research programs can begin, Cox said.
Williamson said the faculty members who will be working with the students are already engaged in research of their own.
In addition to working side-by-side with experienced faculty on research proj-ects and getting paid for it, the undergraduates selected will go on trips to better their research, Williamson said.

One hundred eight: That is the number of combined starts by the offensive line for the Mean Green football team.
UNT returns all five starting lineman from last season, which is rare for a college foot-ball team.
New qua r terback Ri ley Dodge said the continuity between the linemen will help smooth his transition. Dodge made his first college start Sept. 3.
“Our offensive line was unbe-lievable against Ball State,” Riley Dodge, the undeclared redshirt freshman, said. “They really give us confidence going forward that we will be able to run the ball, and it makes
it easier for me knowing that I will have time to throw.”
The unit did not allow a sack on Dodge and helped the Mean Green gain more than 500 yards of total offense, 296 of which came on the ground.
The anchor of this group is right tackle Esteban Santiago, who has started every game since taking the redshirt and now has 25 career starts. T he 6 -foot-3-i nch, nea r 300-pounder is looked to by his fellow linemen as their leader.
“Esteban is the most expe-rienced,” Victor Gill, a kine-siology junior, said. “He is a key part of our line and has a great shot at all-conference this season.”
Santiago, a sports manage-
ment redshirt junior, would enjoy being all-conference, but just wants to do his part to help his team win.
“Our job is to make Riley comfortable and give him time to throw,” Santiago said. “I would love to be all-confer-ence, but I want to win football games first.”
Gill, with 13 career starts of his own, bookends the line with Santiago starting at left tackle for the Mean Green. He was originally recruited as a tight end and has made a seamless transition to the line.
Gill said he feels the offen-sive line is an integral part of the success of this team and that it is a versatile group.

Red flashing lights float above the asphalt as the creaking of foot pedals and rusty chains pierce the silence.
Every Tuesday night, a swarm of bicyclists take to the streets of Denton, riding with sporadic shouts and buzzing tires.
The group meets at 9:30 p.m. outside the Language building.
Carson Coldiron, a business sophomore said that the group gives riders the opportunity to enjoy the camaraderie and strength in numbers.
The night ride’s popularity has increased throughout the years. Regulars said they have seen as many as 120 bikes at one time.
The formation at times resem-bles a Tour de France style, mixed with the freedom of riding on sidewalks.
Coldiron said that every rider carries a “just ride” attitude.
“I really enjoy the ride, it’s a good, positive way to have fun and meet new people,” Coldiron said. “I don’t remember exactly how I found out about the ride, I think it was from my buddy who
had a friend who was involved.”Many in the group have been
riding together since they were freshmen at UNT and some continue to ride even after grad-uation.
Andy Wherry, UNT alumnus, said the night ride is a tradition in which he likes to take part.
“I was drawn to it just like everyone is drawn to the bike and a mob mentality of let’s just all get together and do it,” Wherry said. “I kind of ran into it when I was riding through town and saw this huge swarm of bicyclists. I had a good time.”
The routes vary from week to week. Some nights, the route has taken the group as far as from the Language building to the Denton Airport on Airport Road.
The bikes on the excursion come in all sorts — everything from track bikes, race bikes, cruisers and custom bikes. Each bike dons its own colors, design and age.
“Some bikes are put together like Frankenstein,” Wherry said. “You’ll see everything from race bikes to double-deckers.”

The UNT student senate kicked off the fall semester Wednesday night by electing its new leaders and passing two bills.
The senate elected College of Arts and Sciences senator Drew Robertson as speaker, College of Arts and Sciences senator Jessika Curry as speaker pro-tem and Kevin Sanders as sergeant-at-arms.
The Student Government Association is a group of indi-viduals elected by students to provide connections between students and administrators.
The senate passed two bills.
One approved a budget of $152,671.74 for the 2010 fiscal year.
The other, introduced by CAS senator Joel Arredondo, allows runner-up candi-dates from student senate elections to take the place of elected senators who vacate their seats before the first full senate meeting of either long semester.
The bill allows the runners-up to fill the vacancies as full-term senators rather than being appointed by the SGA president, which would require them to run a second time in the next semester. Several senate seats are vacant, and the bill will help to quickly fill them, Arredondo said.
“Essentially, this bill fixes a lot of loose ends that need to be fixed,” he said.
Bonita Jacobs, vice president of student development, briefly spoke about this year’s project to change the University Union. She formed a master
planning committee to assess the building’s problems, and said she is trying to get more student feed-back on ways to improve it.
“You’ve got to have the students driving the process,” Jacobs said.
The planning committee is considering several options for the Union, including building a new structure or tearing down the old building, she said.
Students who want to get involved with Union changes can participate through Facebook and Twitter groups, she said.
SGA president Dakota Carter delivered his state of the union
address, outlining his goals for the new school year. He called for a more inclusive SGA with stronger ties to students.
This year, Carter said the SGA plans to have town hall meetings for UNT students, build stronger ties with student organizations and work for more student involve-ment in athletic events.
“We will be more pro-active this year, not expecting students to come to us, but for us to come to students,” Carter said.
The student senate is open to all students and meets at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesdays in Wooten Hall 322.

“An individual department might receive a small portion of those funds to take those students on a trip that would facilitate their research, so there might be some minor travel costs,” she said.
Cox said that the depart-ments selected for the program can keep up to $2,000 for trips to places like Austin and Dallas.
“If they were economists they might want to go to the Federal Reserve Office or bank,” she said. “The provost is trying
to get undergraduate student research going on the campus by making these grants to five departments.”
Any department seeking eligibility for the grant must apply by Sept. 28, Cox said. To decide which of the depart-ments will receive the grant, a specialized committee made of representatives from every department that applies will review the applications.
The provost’s office sets aside money for the program specifically for this, Williamson said.
She said students will benefit not only from the wages they will be paid, but more impor-tantly from an opportunity to work closely with experienced faculty members.
“It’s the faculty member’s research project and the student’s engagement together that will help to move those projects forwards,” she said. “It’s a significant opportunity for them to engage in that kind of process.”
Cox said UNT is hoping the program will grow even more next year.

The International Socialist Organization met Wednesday night to discuss the meaning of socialism, but not everyone got the message. Speaker and group member Matthew Camp spoke so fast that an audience mem-ber asked him to slow down. Camp held a granny smith apple for part of his speech, comparing the stages of the fruit’s growth to the history of socialism.

Some riders have desig-nated themselves as “crossing guards.” If the group is going
through a stop sign, one or two riders will stop to make sure everyone gets through.
Members of the group also ride up and down the line, checking for stragglers and f lat t ires. Those who r ide t he double-deckers watch over the swarm and look for oncoming cars. If a car is coming, a whistle is blown and the message is carried to the rear.

The Students for a Democratic Society said it hopes to answer many questions about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks through a community forum on Friday.
Sept. 11 marks the eighth anni-versary of the terrorist attacks in New York. The community forum will address the question, “What have we learned since Sept.11, 2001?”
The Students for a Democratic
Society is a student group that seeks to promotes pro-peace and anti-war interests. The group’s Sept. 11 forum is not sponsored by the university.
“Alternative theories have flourished over the past eight years,” Candice Bernd, co-orga-nizer and electronic news freshman said. “The event isn’t just centered around 9/11, it’s centered on kind of the post-9/11 world that we live in.”
The group will also set up tables with information about the event at noon on Friday outside Wooten Hall and in the free speech zones near the University Union.
The forum will feature three guest speakers from different backgrounds to discuss different topics within the events of Sept. 11 and the current Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
“We are trying to take it from a very fine point of view like examining the events of the day and bringing it out into a bigger picture scope like trying to make sense of the event as it has affected our world today,” Bernd said.
Derek Johnson, a licensed engi-neer and member of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, will discuss the technical aspects of
the buildings that fell on Sept. 11.
Former United States Marine Noah McGuire will discuss the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the role of the military.
Roberto Calderon of the UNT history department will be speaking at the forum about the history of the wars and impe-rialism in the United States. Calderon is also the faculty adviser for the student demo-cratic organization.
“I hope that this small effort will contribute towards a more enlightened dialogue for
everyone,” Calderon said. Following the guest speakers
will be a 45 minute open discus-sion for the audience members to ask questions and express opin-ions.
“I hope that poeple will have a more open mind about what’s happened,” Andrew Teeter, co-organizer and general studies senior, said.
Students who attend the discussion can expect to hear views about Sept. 11 that have not been discussed in mainstream media, Bernd said.
The forum is open to everyone at 4 p.m. in Wooten Hall 122.
When asked if he has ever conver ted someone f rom behind the booth, Cruz quickly shook his head no. “The Spirit converts. That’s not what I’m here to do. I talk to people, but there is no pressure.”
UNT students have mixed opinions on the booth.
Ashley Johnson, an educa-tion junior, is skeptical. “I think it’s just inviting contro-versy,” she said. “I think the subject is too sensitive on such
a diverse campus.”Aaron Case, a language
arts sophomore, disagrees cautiously. “As long as they’re not sparking debate, then I think it’s a good idea. It opens up communication.”
The “Talk to a Catholic Priest” booth will return to the Campus Green on Friday. This time, Monsignor King from Immaculate Conception will sit behind the booth to chat with visitors.

When lunchtime hits and stomachs start to rumble, students have a choice to make.
A variety of meal plans allow for all-you-can-eat meals at any cafeteria on campus, but students can also bring their own lunch to school, eat at a local restaurant or pick some-thing up from the food court in the University Union known as Campus Chat.
Brendan Riggen, an engi-neering sophomore and resi-dent of Roanoke, said since he is not a resident of Denton, he chooses not to have a meal plan and eats at home before he comes to school.
“The meal plans here are
very expensive, but I do buy snacks from the food court in the Union sometimes,” Riggen said.
Su z a n C r u z , bu si ne s s manager of Campus Dining Services, said Campus Chat is popular among students who commute to campus.
Students with meal plans also use the food court.
Taneshia London, an educa-tion administration sopho-more, said although she has a five-day meal plan, she often buys food at the food court.
“It ’s v e r y c onv e n ie nt because it’s right in the middle of all my classes and I don’t have to worry about trying to rush all the way to Kerr or all the way to Bruce just to get something to eat and not be
late to class,” London said.London said the food court
is also a place where she can get fast food from Taco Bell or Chick-f i l-A, somet hing the dorm cafeterias do not serve.
Vanessa Wrigley, a hospi-tality management junior, said money was not a factor in her decision to not have a meal
plan this year versus having one last year, but taste and relocation was.
“I didn’t like the cafeteria food and I don’t live on campus anymore so it didn’t make any sense for me to have one this year,” Wrigley said.
Still, meal plan purchases have remained the same.

Most UNT students have seen preachers with a mega-phone who attract a swarm of shouting protestors, but the “Talk to a Catholic Priest” booth sits serenely in the middle of the Campus Green outside the University Union.
Saul Hernandez, a graduate student who conceived the idea, said the booth is about welcoming questions, not scaring people away.
In May of 2008, Showtime’s “This American Life” aired an episode about an Iraqi man who traveled around the United States behind a makeshift booth, inviting Americans to ask him anything they wanted. Hernandez saw this episode as an inspiration.
“I w a s i mpressed, so impressed that I watched the episode several times,” Hernandez said. “I wanted to write him a letter.”
Inspired by the man’s open-ness, he began to formulate a similar plan that would allow the public to pose their ques-tions about faith to a priest in the same casual, uninhibited
setting.Her na ndez, who reg u-
larly attends the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church at 2255 N. Bonnie Brae St., planned the booth with the Rev. Victor Cruz in mind.
He was happy to join. “I thought it was a great
idea,” Cruz said. “A good way to reach people.”
The pair set up their “Talk to a Catholic Priest” booth on the Campus Green for the first time in February 2009, and again on Sept. 2.
Made of white wooden boa rds a nd printed w it h black letters, it looks friendly and non-threatening, l ike the neighborhood lemonade stand.
In the two hours the stand was open, it was a much different scene than some of the other more aggressive preachers who frequent the campus.
Cruz said he received about 10 visitors, all of them friendly. People mostly asked questions such as, “What is the differ-ence between Catholics and Protestants?” and “Why are you here?”
In answer to the second ques-tion, Cruz said, “Sometimes people just want to talk, or are having problems in their life and want to unload burdens. I want to be here for them.”
Priest’s booth offers ‘no pressure’ conversation
The Rev. Victor Cruz answers questions about religion from Garrett McDaniel, an accounting graduate student during the spring semester in his booth by the University Union. McDaniel said he appreciated that Cruz did not actively proselytize.
“I didn’t like the cafeteria food and I don’t live on campus anymore so it didn’t make any sense for me to have one [meal plan] this year...”

Catholic presence will return Friday
same amount of students sign up for meal plans just like any other school year,”
said Rachel Thompson, cler-ical assistant of the Dining Services Administration.
(AP) — There’s a surprising new voice in the world of political talk radio as former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley returns to the spotlight three years after a lurid scandal ruined his congressional career.
Foley taped his first stint behind the mic for “Inside the Mind of Mark Foley” on Tuesday. It will air Sept. 22 on WSVU out of North Palm Beach, Fla. On it, he tackles topics such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and its role in the Bernie Madoff scandal.
There’s even hope for eventual syndication of the show, which will explore Washington poli-tics.
“I don’t see anything stopping it,” said Joe Raineri, the show’s producer. “I can tell you, he’s very good.”
Foley, who represented parts of Palm Beach County in Florida, resigned in 2006 after sending salacious Internet messages to male teens who had worked on Capitol Hill as congressional pages. Criminal investigations ended without charges.
The popular politician was seeking his seventh term in his South Florida district, where he kept busy attending lavish parties and fundraisers in glitzy Palm Beach.
His sexual orientation was a poorly kept secret, but he cloaked
himself in a false public persona and kept his personal life hush. Upon resigning, Foley announced to the world he was gay.
He has since been working in real estate investment and has shied from the spotlight — until now.
Raineri said Foley approached the station a few months ago with the idea for a show. Station honchos then huddled to discuss the pros and cons — the main con being whether listeners would be turned off by Foley’s past.
“We weighed the informative
aspect of it against everything else and determined that what he has to say is much more impor-tant,” Raineri said.
And it won’t cost them a dime. Foley is working for free, and has said he’d bring his own adver-tisers.

Springsteen, Brubeck among Kennedy Center honorees(AP) – Dave Brubeck just
wishes his mom could see him now.
On Dec. 6, the same day the jazz composer and pianist turns 89, he’ll be among the leading artists feted at the 32nd Kennedy Center Honors Gala.
Dignitaries from President Barack Obama on down will celebrate Brubeck’s career, a long with those of singer Br uce Spr i ngsteen, actor Rob er t D e Ni r o, c om ic genius Mel Brooks and opera singer Grace Bumbr y, the Kennedy Center announced Wednesday.
Brubeck says it’s a day that would have del ighted his late mother, Elizabeth Ivey Brubeck, a classical pianist who was i n it ia l ly d isap-
pointed by her son’s interest in jazz.
He recalled that when he graduated high school in 1938, his mother wrote in her diary: ”I think there is some hope for David after all.”
“Both my older brothers were such terrific musicians – classical musicians. And she wanted three sons that would follow in her footsteps ... and I let her down,” Brubeck said in a phone interview from Seattle, where he was touring this week. “She finally came around to what I was doing. She lived long enough to see good results, and she enjoyed going to the concerts.”
Obama and the first lady will host the 2009 honorees at the W hite House before attending the gala with them
at the Kennedy Center. Brubeck said he is looking
forward to meeting the pres-ident, who wrote of going to a Brubeck concert as a child in his memoir “Dreams from My Father.”
As usual, the gala will be recorded for broadcast as a two-hour prime-time special on CBS.
This year’s w il l a ir at 9 p.m.on Dec. 29.
T h e K e n n e d y C e n t e r Honors recognize performing artists for their contributions to American culture.
Brubeck is credited with helping take jazz into the mainstream, and his band popu l a r i z e d mu sic t h at departed from the traditional 4/4 rhythm.
“Time Out” – the classic
album by the Dave Brubeck Qua rtet featuring t he hit “Ta ke Five” in 5/4 t ime – turned 50 this year.
Brubeck has set to music the words of the Old Testament and of Martin Luther King Jr. and, most recently, the photo-graphs of Ansel Adams.
As for the other honorees, Spr ingsteen a nd De Niro belonged to the category of potential honorees George Stevens Jr., the creator and producer of the honors show, calls “not if, but when.”
But bot h men are rela-tively young to be receiving the award, Stevens noted. De Niro turned 66 last month, and Springsteen will be 60 on Sept. 23.
“One of America’s greatest ci nemat ic actors, Rober t
De Niro has demonstrated a legenda r y com m it ment to his characters and has co-founded one of the world’s major film festivals,” Kennedy Center Chairman Stephen A.
Schwarzman said in the announcement of the 2009 recipients, referring to the Tribeca Film Festival, which started in 2002.
“With his gritty and honest songs t hat spea k to t he everyman, Bruce Springsteen has a lways had his f inger on the pulse of America,” Schwarzman said.
Mel Brooks, 83, is a former standup comedian who made his mark on television with the classic 2000-year-old man routine with Carl Reiner.
He soon moved to the big
screen, where he hit it big w it h comed ies l i ke “T he Producers” a nd “Bla z i ng Saddles.”
For Gr ac e Bu mbr y, a soprano and mezzo-soprano who became a trai lbla zer among black singers, being chosen for the award has a special significance.

“It ’s f u l l c i rc le now,” Bumbry, 72, said by telephone from Munich, where she was judging a voca l competi-tion. “It’s the most beautiful thing.”

Amanda Fine is ready to fight.
The communication design freshman and mixed martial arts fighter is trying to start a training session for students who share her passion for fighting.
Unfortunately, she has no place to bring that passion yet.
“I don’t care where we train,” Fine said. “Almost anyone who wants to train doesn’t care where they are as long as there are mats and plenty of space.”
The training, which would focus on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, would take place on the second f loor of the Pohl Recreation Center where other group exer-cises are held, Fine said.
Pract icing wou ld a l low fighters to box, strength-train, work on the ground and spar to practice with an opponent without a full-on fight.
Fi ne st i l l need s more students to sign up to continue the application process for the club.
Fine’s background w it h martial arts started in her childhood. She took Taekwondo when she was younger but quit at age 12. She stuck with main-stream sports in middle school and high school.
After her junior year of high school she had enough of sports and was ready to fight again.
S h e r e t u r n e d t o t h e g ym where she trained in Taekwondo but her interest changed when her instructor told her about another class t hat taug ht st udents t he fighting style of the Ultimate Fighting Championship battles seen on TV.
Now she has been training in mixed martial arts for about a year and a half.
She loves working with her hands, using mitts and light sparring. Her favorite thing to do now is train in her new, hot-pink gi, a common uniform for martial artists which is usually white.
Fine just received her blue belt — the next category up from white belt — about three weeks before school started this fall.
She has competed for the North American Grappling Association in the women’s lightweight beginners category as a white belt, taking first place. She later won third place in the women’s intermediate category.
She then competed in the intermediate category at another tournament, Star Jiu-Jitsu in Carrollton, where she wore a gi for the first time. She won first place.
When she goes home to Rowlett on weekends, she trains at the Martial Arts Center.
Dustin Lorance, an engi-neering freshman and four-year wrestler, has been training in mixed martial arts for about a year and trained at Fighters
Student ‘� ghts’ for new martial arts class
Forge, in Copperas Cove, 70 miles southwest of Waco.
If UNT Recreational Sports allowed for a mixed martial arts class, Lorance said he would come in and train as often as possible.
“I don’t train up here in Denton, so I’m looking for some-thing local,” Lorance said.
Fine hopes more people will get involved as the program hopes to grow.
The Recreational Sports department allows students to start clubs through a step-by-step process, according to the depart-ment’s Web site, www.unt.edu/recsports.
First, students must contact the Recreational Sports office for authorization assistance and apply for registration as a student organization at the Student Activities office in the University Union.
Once the students designate officers, apply to the Assistant Director of Sport Clubs for authorization and submit a projected budget and schedule of proposed activities for the year, the student leader is then asked appear before the sport club committee to support their authorization request.
Sport club authorization and a club budget will be approved or disapproved by the Director of Recreational Sports, Assistant Director and the sport club committee, according to the Web site.
Fine needs only nine more people to start a Jiu-Jitsu club at UNT.

Irving, (AP) — Year after year, Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware has lifted his sack totals, from eight as a rookie all the way up to an NFL-best 20 last season.
Now what?Ware is only the seventh
player to reach that plateau since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. None of the others — not Hall of Famers Reggie White, Lawrence Taylor or Derrick Thomas — ever got there again, much less two years in a row.
Ware doesn’t need to talk to any of his predecessors to figure out what went wrong. He knows it wasn’t easy to begin with and, the year after, you’re even more of a marked man.
“Now teams are really
cheating over to you,” he said. “They might stick a tight end, might stick a running back over there. It gets harder.”
Of course, he’s still aiming to do it, starting Sunday against Byron Leftwich and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“I always just feel like, going into the next season, you’ve got to try to do something better than last season,” Ware said. “I mean, I’m a pressure guy. That’s something that I always harp on. If I don’t get any pressure in the game, I feel like I didn’t play well. I can have 10 tackles, but I’ve just got to smell the quar-terback.”
He certainly knows the scent.
Entering his fifth year, Ware’s sack totals have gone from eight
to 11.5 to 14 to 20. If he takes it up again, he’ll challenge the NFL single-season record of 22.5 set by Michael Strahan in 2001.
Ware also is in line to chal-lenge the two-year record of 41 set by Mark Gastineau in 1983-84.
Ware already has put together the best two-year run in 20 years. According to STATS Inc., only Gastineau, White, Andre Tippett and Richard Dent have had consecutive seasons with more than the 34 sacks Ware has had the last two years, and they all did it in the mid-1980s.
Ware’s career tally of 53.5 is the most in the NFL since Bill Parcells made Ware the 11th overall pick in the 2005 draft.
‘D-Ware’ looking to improve
The Script: Site’s top-100 list needs revision By Eric JohnsonSenior Staff Writer
As I sat down to do my weekly column, I discovered an opinion piece at www.sportingnews.com on the top-100 players in the National Football League. Jeff D’Alessio’s logic seems a little bit flawed to me.
Some of his picks are widely accepted and while I may not completely agree, I understand Peyton Manning at No. 1 and Tom Brady at No. 2. Some players have been grossly overrated, severely underrated or just plain ignored. I will try to correct some of his mistakes.
Way Overrated5. LaDanian Tomilinson,
running back, San Diego Chargers—Don’t get me wrong, he is a future hall of famer, but his age has caught up to him. He is not one of the top-5 backs in the league, and his former back-up Michael Turner has surpassed him but falls 37 spots behind him. Tomlinson is still great, but not elite and should be some-where in the 30’s.
6. Albert Haynesworth, defensive tackle, Washington Redskins—I do think that he
is one of the top defensive tackles in the game, but he is prone to injury and has really on ly had one domi-nant season in his career. The top-10 should be reserved for the game’s elite, and he should fall back somewhere in the 40’s with the potential to move up if he shows he can be consistent.
11. Ray Lewis, inside line-
backer, Baltimore Ravens—Let’s be honest, he has lost a step and no longer covers the field sideline to sideline. Five years ago, he was the top linebacker in the league, but now he is the sixth or seventh best player on his defense and should not sniff the top-100.
50. Eli Manning, quarterback, New York Giants—There were definitely other candidates, like Terrell Owens at No. 33, but I think Eli without Plaxico Burress equals fail. He will be playing with a very inexperienced group of receivers and will be doing more handing off than making plays. The Super Bowl ring keeps
him in front of some other quar-terbacks, but top-50 is a little bit much.
Honorable mention: 88. Michael Vick, quarterback, Philadelphia—Let the man play a game before you put him on your list please.
Way Underrated38. Jason Witten, tight end,
Dallas Cowboys—I hate the Cowboys, but you have to love Witten and his toughness. Without a doubt the best tight end in the game and is the go-to receiver for his quarterback. He plays with passion and intensity and any team would love to have him. He should be rated in front of Tony Gonzalez, who is all the way at No. 10.
41. Joe Thomas, offensive tackle, Cleveland Browns—He plays for a terrible football team or he would get more credit. He is entering his third year and is arguably the best player at his position. He is already a pro bowl player and is better at this point than Walter Jones, who is rated 12 spots higher.
87. Roddy White, wide receiver, Atlanta Falcons—This guy is
without question a top-five receiver right now and it is an embarrassment to have T.O. 54 spots higher. He is the definition of a No. 1 receiver with hands, speed and size. He makes the quarterback’s job easier and is definitely a top-50 player.
Nose tackles— No. 92 Haloti Ngata of the Ravens, No. 94 Casey Hampton of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and No. 85 Jay Ratliff
of the Cowboys are the three best in the game. Nose tackle is one of the most difficult positions on the field to play and should have made the top-50.
Honorable mention-Tony Romo, quarterback, Cowboys—It makes me sick to my stomach to say it because I hate them so much, but there is no way that he does not make the top-100. He might lack passion, but he
has so much talent. He needs to prove it this season with some late season victories but for now he is a top-100 player.
This season should be exciting to watch and if you are wondering, it is going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Philadelphia Eagles in this year’s Super Bowl, number seven will be heaven for the defending champions.

Change starts with linemen“We have all been playing
together for so long now, that we feel like we help strengthen our football team with our experi-ence, depth and ability,” Gill said. “Everyone expects us to be pass blockers, but we feel we are great run blockers also because we know each other so well.”
J.J. Johnson, redshirt sopho-more center, started every game
in his first season of eligibility last season and will assume that role again. Starting guards Kelvin Drake, a recreation and leisure studies senior, and Tyler Bailey, a history senior, have combined for 27 starts to total 78 career starts for the starters.
The Mean Green has depth behind the starters.
Backups Coleman Feeley, a kinesiology sophomore, Matthew Menard, recreation and leisure
studies junior, and Gabe Hollivay, applied arts and sciences senior, have a combined 30 career starts and each can fill in for any reason.
“I really love the depth we have this year,” offensive line coach Spencer Leftwich said. “This year we should be the group that we can hang our hats on. In the past we couldn’t overload them, but now we can just put them out there and let them go.”

Opinion
Denton’s city council has tabled a request three times for a special use permit to drill natural gas wells in a residential area of town.
It seems the biggest concern with residents in the area is not the actual drilling, but simply the drilling location.
Natural gas can be a step in the right direction with a few considerations: It’s not coal, it’s not oil and it’s affordable.
Not only does natural gas produce fewer emissions of sulfur, carbon and nitrogen than coal or oil, but it also burns cleaner, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In addition, natural gas lessens the demand for inefficient coal-fired power plants, therefore eliminating the practice of mountaintop removal and greenhouse gas sequestration.
Since the natural gas issue came up in Denton, concerned
citizens, students, university faculty and staff, and others gathered in opposition to Range Production Company’s special use permit request to the city council.
The proposed site is at the Rayzor Ranch development off Bonnie Brae, between Panhandle and Scripture streets, next door to residential areas, a retire-ment center and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
The greatest conern about these gas wells is about the location of the drilling, raising concerns about noise, air quality and safety.
In contrast to traditional vertical drilling methods, advances in drilling technology allow for horizontal drilling methods like those practiced in and around Fort Worth. Such methods allow for drilling to be undertaken from up to a mile away. A mile isn’t feasible in this situation, but there is an option
to drill on the opposite corner of the lot.
At the Aug. 4 City Council meeting, David Poole, senior vice president and general counsel for Range Production, said the company was open to exploring other locales, namely on the southwest corner of the property.
On Sept. 1, an explosion occurred an hour southwest in Joshua that required fire fighters from eight area coun-ties to subdue a blaze that left $8.31 billion worth of charred equipment.
Put an incident like that in this high occupancy area and the mere thought of an accident, caused by equipment or gas, would be devastating. Accidents occur even when the rules and regulations are followed, and as Chesapeake Energy proved in Joshua, equipment malfunc-tions can be just as catastrophic as a gas accident.
Range Production Co. and Allegiance first need to recog-nize and address the concerns of Denton residents. A policy of openness from the drilling company could assuage resi-dents’ anxiety. However, resi-dent education is necessary to maintain an involvement with the process.

There’s no denying that college students drink. In fact, college students are more likely to binge drink and drive drunk than their peers who are not in school. Furthermore, it is estimated that 2.8 million college students drive while intoxicated, and one in four say they binge-drink on a regular basis.
Needless to say, the sta-tistics are staggering. We’re not saying there’s anything wrong with drinking in and of itself. However, it is irresponsible to put yourself and others in danger by driving under the influence.
Instead of endangering innocent lives, the edito-rial staff urges students to consider alternative choices.
For students who live on campus, the E-Ride service is one of these alternatives.
E-Ride is provided by UNT Transportation Services and offers free transportation to students anywhere on campus. It runs seven days a week from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. and can carry up to 14 passen-gers, perfect for students going to a bar with a group of friends.
E-Ride is paid for by student fees. As such, there
is no reason for students not to make use of it, especially since many popular bars are a mere stone’s throw from campus.
Even if you have to walk a block or two to get to campus, this is a small price to pay to ensure the safety of the UNT community.
Students who live off-campus should al-ways make sure to have a designated driver when-ever they go out drinking with friends. While these students cannot make use of E-ride, there is still no reason for them to drink and drive.
Again, we are not con-demning drinking. What we are warning against is irresponsible drinking. It is possible to have a good time without harming others, especially since stu-dents are provided access to free transportation any-where on campus. There is no need for drunken driving to occur at UNT.
To use E-Ride, call 940-565-4838 and give your first name and request-ed pick-up and drop-off location. The bus should ar-rive within 10 minutes, and you’ll have to show a valid student ID to board.
For the price of a phone call, you could end up sav-ing a life.

What food venue would you like to see on campus?
“I’d like to see more sushi. I know they have one in the Union, but an actual shop with
Japanese cuisine would be good.”
“Something like a Jason’s Deli, with a huge salad
bar. It should have healthy food, not in a
package, ready to order and hot.”
“Well, I’d like to see more good, authentic
Mexican food. We have a Taco Bell, and that’s not
authentic. I’d like to see a little more diversity.”
“I think it’d be nice if there was a healthy
burrito place on campus.”
As the great LL Cool J once said, “I can’t live without my radio.”
Well, that’s not entirely true. When I’m in my car, I do listen to my iPod a lot. But sometimes, I want to hear a DJ’s soothing voice introduce songs, inform me about musical history and hold wacky contests.
But as radio becomes more of the same and with a majority of stations owned by Clear Channel Communications or Cumulus Media, the few voices of an alter-native to anything are silenced.
Last Tuesday, the Dallas-Fort Worth area lost one of its few remaining great radio stations.
Cumulus pulled the plug on 93.3 FM KDBN, broadcasting out of Haltom City, and changed its “Quality Rock” brand program-ming to “i93”, another homog-enous Top 40 hits station, competing directly with the Clear Channel-owned 106.1 FM KHKS, Kiss FM.
“Quality Rock” lasted only four months, playing bands not usually heard on the radio like Wilco, Amos Lee and Death Cab for Cutie.
Sometimes, they even broad-cast special events, like an all-Dave Matthews weekend during Denton’s Arts & Jazz Festival.
Now, listeners are forced to
endure the same barrage of hits they can hear on another station. Must we suffer more than one spot on the dial playing the likes of Katy Perry and the Black Eyed Peas?
While stations playing older songs of various genres will always stick around, it appears choices for hearing a variety of new music are growing slimmer.
If the glory of FM radio offers more options, why then do stations continue to fold to become a sister or cousin of a more popular station?
If the only difference between one station and another is the addition of Mary J Blige in between hits from Soulja Boy, what’s the point?
Even once-enduring stations have been ditched for playlists dominated by misogynistic, Auto Tune-heavy hip-hop.
107.5 FM KOAI, formerly known as “The Oasis,” played smooth jazz for years and both my parents and yours listened to it religiously, yet it changed formats to “Movin’ 107.5,” aimed at 18- to 34-year-old women. It played a variety of current hits and ’80s favorites from Madonna and Whitney Houston.
While popular, that format also went by the wayside earlier
this year in favor of a Latin “hot adult contemporary station,” which mainly sticks with artists you can hear almost anywhere else. It currently goes by the name “Mega 107.5.”
The same thing happened to 106.7 FM KKDL. It played techno club tracks and other dance-worthy tunes. I’m still amazed there was a station devoted to this programming.
But of course it couldn’t last. In 2004, it became “La Casa,”
another Top 40 station with the occasional song in Spanish. I partly blame it for the increase in popularity of the bastardized genre known as reggaeton. Now it resides under the moniker “La Bonita,” playing more traditional Mexican music.
As other stations abandon their niche programming for country or Christian music or talk radio, what are our alternatives to this repetitious garbage? Unless you want to shell out the big bucks for XM Satellite Radio, your options are rather limited.
George Gimarc, who founded 94.5 KDGE long before Clear Channel bought “The Edge” and replaced true alternative music with the soul-crushing monotony of Nickelback, has an idea.
His patented Radio SASS, which stands for Short Attention
Span System, the prototype of which you can hear at www.radiosass.com, cuts songs down to less than three minutes and keeps commercial breaks to 90 seconds or less, allowing DJs to burn through upwards of 30 songs in an hour, and keeps listeners from getting bored.
If it ever gets off the ground, it will likely be the only safe haven for popular music.
Otherwise, I fear radio will become an endless blitzkrieg of advertisements, with every station playing the same four or five songs on endless rotation.
But now it will simply be harder and harder to find quality rock on the radio, or anything else of quality for that matter.

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
