Radio, television and � lm students Russell Irby, shown above, Mitch McCutchen, shown below, and Brad Eg-gerton, a sociology senior, started producing a feature � lm, “The Fifth,” in 2008. “It was interesting to learn stu� in class and see how it’s actually applied when you’re actually on the set,” McCutchen said. “You can learn quite a bit in class, but it’s not until you’ve actually gone to do it that you really see why you were learning it.” The � lm’s budget totalled $2,000, which was paid for out of their own pockets. “The Fifth” premiered last year in Lewisville with more than 200 people in attendance.

Report suggests ways to improve UNT athletics

The UNT athletic department will try to stretch its budget just like junior running back Lance Dunbar stretched for extra yards in the team’s 32-31 loss to Rice on Sept. 11 at Fouts Field.

Amidst a room full of media, faculty and alumni last Friday, Chuck Neinas presented a 17-page report which exam-ined UNT’s athletic program, its current state and what it would take to further the school’s program.

One of the main points in Neinas’ report is the lack of funding the school receives compared to the rest of the Sun Belt Conference, and the need for a higher budget. UNT has made considerable strides since joining the conference in 2001, but still has quite a ways to go.

“Today, I can pretty much look every coach in the eye today and say, ‘You know what? You have the things in place to win,’ and that’s what it’s about,” athletic director Rick Villarreal said. “We got to support our teams, but after a while, you got to put the wins up.”

The current budget for the school is $16.6 million dollars, which ranks fifth in the Sun Belt. However, it is below the conference median of $17.8 million.

UNT is one of nine schools that have a football program. A rka nsas-Lit t le Rock a nd Denver do not have a football program, while South Alabama is currently in its inaugural season.

UNT, which has 36,000

students, is in the process of constructing a new football stadium that is scheduled to open in the fall of 2011. In his report, Neinas, who was named one of the 10 most influential people in college

football by Sports Illustrated, said “the harsh reality is that UNT athletics has generated minimal interest or excite-ment.”

Even though the Mean Green has not had a successful season

in recent years, it has still aver-aged the fourth highest atten-dance average in 2009 with 18,228 per game.

“When football players show up at a football stadium and the seats are empty, it’s not a

place they want to go play in front of,” Villarreal said. “It’s still their institution. It is still where they go to school. We still need to take pride in wearing that green and being part of what we are every day.”

Neinas suggested in his report that UNT consider adding baseball to the athletic program, something that he says there appears to be signif-icant interest in.

A c c or d i n g t o Ne i n a s’ report, if the Mean Green has any hopes of moving up to Conference USA, then it needs to increase its below-average budget.

The University of Houston, which has an enrollment of 25,000 students, has a $30 million budget. The University of Texas-El Paso boasts a budget of $23 million and an enrollment of 29,000.

The report states t here should be an increase in the athletics department budget on top of student fees that w i l l be used to pay debt service requirements. More money would allow Villarreal to increase salaries for the school’s coaches, improve athletic facilities and give more money for marketing of the program.

Villarreal said that he would not charge students to spend a ny addit iona l money on athletics on top of the current fees that are in place.

“I think that if we move this program where I believe we can, and we fill those stands, especially the home side stand, and we’re selling those season tickets, it’ll carry us a long way,” Villarreal said.

The rain prevented the Omega Psi Phi fraternity from holding its fifth annual Desegregation March on Saturday, but the weather didn’t stop it from bringing people together to remember the move-ment in U.S. history.

In the 1950s, when the first black students attended UNT, they were not allowed to live in on-campus dorms. Those students had to walk back and forth nearly two miles from south-east Denton to attend class.

“I’ve met most of these trail-blazers,” said Cheylon Brown, director of UNT’s Multicultural Center. “It’s not that they were trying to get an education just for themselves. They knew they were paving the way for somebody else to come behind them.”

Each year since 2005, UNT’s Phi Gamma chapter of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity has marched from the MLK Jr. Recreation Center in Denton to the UNT campus to commemorate the struggles those students faced.

Last year the march was held amid light rain, but this year, a

large storm presented greater problems. The Phi Gamma chapter sought to get more orga-nizations involved with the event this year and created a promo-tional video posted on Facebook and YouTube to draw people to the march.

“We really do have it easy,” said Forest Turner, president of the chapter. “We have buses, we have e-ride, we have parking. Most of the stuff we complain about on a daily basis we really shouldn’t because we do not have to go through what they went through.”

Students, many of whom were a part of 11 different fraternities, sororities and cultural organi-zations, gathered in the Biology Building to pay tribute to UNT’s first black students and their experiences during the univer-sity’s integration.

“Frats are known for partying or for social events, but it’s really important that we as students from all walks of life pay tribute to those that came before us,” Turner said.

The event’s keynote speaker was Leon King, one of 13 black

students who attended UNT in 1956 and grandfather of a member of the Phi Gamma fraternity.

King came to UNT to play foot-ball even after the head coach informed him he would not be able to receive a scholarship if he made the team. Turning down a four-year scholarship to another school in Colorado, King played on the freshman team in 1956, the only team in UNT history ever to be undefeated and untied.

King spoke about the hard-ships of attending the univer-sity during the early 1950s and the adversity students faced on campus, both from professors and fellow classmates.

At that time, black students were not allowed to join frater-nities or sororities, King said. As a result, King said, the black students became a close group, creating their own independent fraternity and working together to overcome the problems they faced.

“The one thing we decided when we came: Regardless of what they do or what they say, we are going to stick together and we are going to make it,” King said.

Challenge focuses on energy conservation

Last week, students participated in the No Impact Challenge. It was dedicated to reducing their personal carbon foot-print, and riding a bike was one of the ways listed to decrease environmental impact.

By Tim monzingoSenior Staff Writer

From recycling to carrying reusable water bottles and unplugging appliances, there are a number of ways to reduce an individual’s impact on the envi-ronment, which the No Impact Challenge highlighted.

UNT students and Denton resi-dents took part in the challenge last week through Saturday to think more about how everyday actions affect the world around them, according to the Facebook page for the challenge.

“You can kind of do with it what you want,” said Kati Trice, a pre-communication design junior and a volunteer for What’s Your Tree who participated in the chal-lenge. “It’s just about being more conscious about your choices.”

What’s Your Tree is an orga-nization that promotes commu-nity involvement, according to its website.

One of the ways the challenge makes people more aware, she said, is through a guide that takes

on a different topic for each day of the challenge.

“There’s two pages dedicated to each day of the week of the chal-lenge,” she said.

The book covers everything from transportation to eating food produced nearby.

Trice said she said considers herself an environmentally conscious person, and she wanted to push herself even further with the challenge.

Farrah Taylor, a French language senior who was inter-ested in the event, said it’s little things people do that can make a difference in their carbon foot-print.

“The amount of electricity people use, leaving their fans on, leaving things plugged in, just those small things many people don’t think about, it adds up so much,” she said.

Those little changes in lifestyle have major impacts, according to noimpactproject.org, the website for the challenge.

As Trice wiped her mouth

with a cloth napkin made from an old T-shirt, she said thinking about things like the amount of waste a single person gener-ates a day is important.

For the week, Trice carried

all the trash she would have otherwise thrown away with her to see how much she would accumulate.

Thinking about things like trash and electricity use is diffi-

cult, but pays off in the end, Taylor said.

“I think it’s a big task to tell yourself not to leave stuff plugged in and to tell yourself not to be lazy around things

like that because they don’t have an immediate effect, but they’re going to have long-term effects,” she said.

Catherine Schwartz, a biology sophomore, said people should think about that daily impact no matter how hard it is. The chal-lenge wouldn’t be easy, but it is something she would like to do, Schwartz said.

“I know it would be really diffi-cult, but I would be interested to try it,” she said. “I think it’s something everybody should try to do.”

Though the challenge offi-cially ended Saturday, Trice said, another event is scheduled for January, and she encourages people to get involved.

“I think it’s great for people to, as a group, take the challenge together,” she said.

Community event helps to clean up waterways

UNT upgrades software to improve Eaglenet

By ilea milareContributing Writer

Local volunteers milled around the front of the Denton Civic Center beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday to register for an event that helps clean up Denton’s waterways.

Kara Roberson, the public communications specialist for the city of Denton, helped the volunteers register for the event, pass out T-shirts and assign cleanup sites.

The focus was the water-ways and that residents need to keep pollution out of the water, Roberson said.

The majority of the volun-teers were sent to Camp Copass, the focus area this year, which is off of East McKinney Street on the shores of Lewisville Lake.

The Denton Stream Clean began as the Denton Trash Bash in the mid ‘90s, promoted by Denton Water Utilities to help educate people about pollution and its effects on waterways.

At that time, Denton Water Utilities was introducing a new stormwater plan and wanted to teach locals about how trash is swept by the water runoff into the local waterways when it rains.

Recent rain made it easier for volunteers to remove trash and other debris that had washed downstream, Roberson said.

Despite having more than 400 volunteers spread out among nine waterway sites, the

rain proved to be an effective obstacle in preventing people who had pre-registered from participating and in keeping the volunteers there for an extended period of time.

“We have less people than last year,” Roberson said. “But for the amount of trash collected, we had more people willing to help pick up.”

Haleigh CeBallos, a Texas Woman’s University dietetics sophomore, braved t he weather to gain extra credit in an organic chemistry class.

“W hy should we have good weather to clean up the trash that we put out there?” CeBallos said, wiping rain-drops from her face.

The number of families and Girl Scout troops participating in the event was the largest Roberson has seen since she took over planning the event in 2006, she said.

At the day’s end, the volun-teers were able to collect 25

tires, 142 bags of recycling, 213 bags of trash and 40 large items, including a car hood, from Denton’s waterways.

“That was a first,” Roberson said, referring to the car hood.

In the 2009 Denton Stream Clean, about 800 volunteers came to help clean and more than 1,700 pounds of recy-clable material was collected. Compared to the 2009 Denton Stream Clean, which had twice the number of volun-teers, and considering the weather, Roberson said this year’s cleanup was effective.

“We have to be f lexible,” she said in reference to the weather. “But, overall, it was a success.”

The VolUNTeer League also helped clean up trash.

“It would have been better if it wasn’t raining,” said Kawanise Mims, a VolUNTeer League member and family studies senior. “But alto-gether, it was a great expe-rience.”

Denton will have the second annual Drug Disposal Day on Oct. 23.

For information on the upcoming volunteer oppor-tunity, visit the www.cityof-denton.com website.

Next year, the Denton Stream Clean is scheduled for Oct. 15.

In response to several student complaints and network prob-lems with Eaglenet, the wireless connection on campus, officials said the data communications department and tech support center have worked on a solu-tion for the issue.

The fix is a software upgrade package, which was installed over the weekend, said Joseph Adamo, director of commu-nication services for Data Communications. The depart-ments hadn’t heard of any prob-lems or received any reports as of Monday.

“At this point, we believe the problem is fixed,” Adamo said. “However, we’re not declaring victory yet.”

T he depa r t ment s a re continuing to monitor the system for any glitches or repeats of previous issues, Adamo said.

Although there have been complaints, few students have reported the past issues, he said. The issues that were reported were login difficulties.

“Last week, we found a glitch in the vendor software that controls the network,” he said. “The glitch has been there since day one. However, it didn’t mani-fest itself until more students started using the wireless.”

There has been a large increase in student wireless usage since last year, Adamo said, going from 1,800 students using the wireless system to nearly 2,500 in the new school year.

“That additional load has increased some of the problems,” he said.

Although the package may solve many problems, it is not expected to solve all of them, Adamo added.

“For some students it’s not the system,” he said. “It’s simply their PC devices and configuration.”

Mira nda De Hoyos, a psychology freshman, has had multiple problems logging into the system while other students attempt to log in, especially in the Lyceum.

“Sometimes it kicks you off and you have to keep signing in over and over again,” she said. “It just takes forever to get it working.”

In one of her classes, De Hoyos said, the system delayed half the students from taking a quiz.

“No one could get it up on their computer,” she said. “Only 50 percent could get on. It’s really frustrating when you’re trying to take a timed test.”

A lt houg h most facu lt y members have access to wired connection and are not as

affected, Steven Forde, a polit-ical science professor, said he could see why some students may be experiencing problems with the wireless service.

“In my office, I can’t even get a cell phone signal, so I can’t imagine that the wire-less network is going to be that effective,” he said. “I would never use it for test purposes.”

Krista Byno, an interdisci-plinary studies senior, said it took her an hour and a half to log in last week. She never had a problem with the system until this school year, Byno said.

“It was a nightmare,” she said. “Whole thing was supposed to only take five minutes.”

Byno called tech support but ended up having to put the files on a flash drive and walk across campus in the rain to e-mail and print files off her laptop, she said.

“This campus sells itself about being Wi-Fi everywhere,” she said. “But third f loor of Matthews, you can’t even get it.”

She now carries three flash drives on her at all times to plan for the system’s failure, Byno said.

“My assumption will always be that it will not work,” she said. “It’s been totally incon-sistent.”

UNT students produce independent � lm

Student ‘always reworking’ short film script

BY JESSICA PAULSenior Staff Writer

Three UNT students are adding “film producer” to their resumes.

Russell Irby, a radio, tele-vision and film junior, Mitch McCutchen, a radio, televi-sion and film senior and Brad Eggerton, a sociology senior, started on their feature film, “The Fifth,” during the spring semester of 2008.

“This all started when we all lived in the dorms,” Irby said. “Brad, the director and writer got an idea for the movie and came to Mitch and I, and we just started throwing around ideas about it.”

Eggerton said he started writing the script as a freshman at Maple Hall and took almost a full year before the final version of the script was finished.

The t hree students a l l attended high school together, Irby said, and made a few short films with one another before going to UNT, one of which received third place at a Denton film festival.

The group held auditions the next summer in Burleson for the film after deciding they wanted to take on the project.

Seventy people auditioned after the group posted an ad on Craigslist, Irby said.

“We weren’t really certain of how big this movie was going to be until we had auditions,” Irby said. “It was kind of over-whelming for us and it just made us realize how serious this really was going to be. We made several great contacts along the way through actors and various

for the film, said the overall budget for “The Fifth” totaled $2,000, with most of the funds coming from their own pockets.

McCutchen, the produc-tion designer for the film, said making the film was difficult with balancing the production and going to school.

“Most people who make feature length films-it’s their career,” McCutchen said. “As a student also, both of those things are huge time commit-ments, and so doing a feature- length film while trying to be in school, it was pretty hard to balance the time between class

and ‘The Fifth.’”More t ha n 200 people

attended the premiere last year in Lewisville, Irby said.

Making the f i lm was a good opportunity to become immersed in the technology the group used, McCutchen said.

“It was interesting to learn stuff in class and see how it’s actually applied whenever you’re actually on the set,” McCutchen said. “You can learn quite a bit in class, but it’s not until you’ve actually gone to do it that you really see why you were learning it.”

Ryan Vance, a journalism junior, attended the premiere and said he thought the film was very artistic.

“I know they said some of their inspiration came from the Coen brothers,” Vance said. “They showed a lot of poten-tial for what they have for their careers later on.”

Vance said he thought it was cool that the group has already made a film.

“You can get a lot of experi-ence that they can’t teach you in the classroom,” Vance said.

Eggerton said prospective filmmakers should start making connections now.

“Getting a RTVF degree at UNT does not guarantee you’ll get a job, it doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to go out and work on anybody’s film,” Eggerton said. “Everybody wants to know

what films you have worked on, who you know. Buy a camera and start making films.”

McCutchen said students should get out and start working on stuff as soon as possible.

“It’s tough whenever you’re in school and working, but if it’s what your passion is, you need to get out there and write a script or find someone that wants to make their script into a

reality,” McCutchen said. “I’m a big believer that you need to be actually practicing what you’re learning. Book knowledge will only go so far.”

Irby said the group plans to continue making films after graduation.

“We’re definitely set with wanting to make movies for the rest of our lives,” Irby said. “It’s what we love to do.”

Christopher Malone, a radio, television and � lm senior, is working on his screenplay, “About Six Months.” The � lm, which is about a dying gay man’s attempt to have a child, will begin shooting this October.

“I wanna go to NTDaily.com!”

BY JESSICA DETIBERIISIntern

Christopher Malone, a radio, television and film senior, has been studying filmmaking for six years. With the completion of his final project, a short film, he plans to be well on his way to achieving his directing goals.

Malone applied for a program known as Special Problems in April of last semester. Through the program, he pitched his idea for the flick, titled “About Six Months,” to film professor Tania Khalaf, who approved the proposal and agreed to sponsor him.

“We always want to give students the opportunity to master what they want to do,” Khalaf said. “His was a very interesting and unique idea, something a lot of people can relate to.”

“About Six Months” takes place in modern times and focuses on a man who discovers he has developed brain cancer and has only six months to live. Before he dies, he wants to have a child to carry on his name. The trouble is, he’s gay.

The original idea for the script, Malone said, was much simpler, but he wasn’t satisfied with the outcome of the story.

“It was a very hollow, kind of flat story,” he said. “This way, it sets up the comedy, sets up the drama.”

Malone began writing the script in early July and started pre-production in mid-August. Preparing the production entailed gathering a crew, compiled mostly of other radio, television and film majors and graduates and finding the cast.

Casting calls were held over the last few weeks. Malone put out advertisements and had many hopeful actors read the script for him. The most difficult role to cast, he said, was that of the main character, Brian.

“Brian is not a flaming homo-sexual. He’s a man who likes men,” Malone said. “I wrote him to be a guy who just happens to be gay. We probably saw at least 10 different guys read for him.”

With actors cast, Malone expects to begin shooting the film in the second or third week in October.

“About Six Months” is planned to premiere the first week in December, just before final exams.

“The script is very manage-able. It’s going to be easy to shoot,” said former UNT student

Garrett Lang, a cinematographer and co-editor for the film. “It’s all about waiting for what the actors are going to do and how to capture their performance the best. The point is to be true to the performance.”

Lang estimated that the film would cost $50,000 to $80,000 to produce on their own, and said Malone is lucky to be able to rent the equipment from UNT. Now, he added, it’s just a matter of getting it finished.

“The script is never done,” Malone said. “We’re always reworking things. Then we have to get down the look and design the film. Once we get those locked, it’s a matter of rehearsal, worrying about set design and costuming.”

Malone and his crew are very optimistic about the outcome of the project and they are not alone.

“Christopher is a very dedi-cated student, and I know…he will make it happen and do the best,” Khalaf said.

When the film is complete, Malone will be one step closer to achieving his career aspira-tions.

“I’ll be heading down to Austin,” Malone said, “and just start making movies.”

“[Judaism] is not explained here as much,” said Gabriela Rodriguez, a pre-biochem-istry sophomore. “Everyone here is either Catholic or Christian, [the organization] would help for those who are Jewish.”

T he Jew i sh c u lt u re i s ver y close l i ke a fa m i ly, said Sarah Kamien, a busi-ness sophomore. Everybody knows someone and their business, whether it is good or bad, she said, so the orga-nization is like another home to its members.

“ We w a nte d to m a ke a Jew ish com mu n it y on campus,” Kamien said. “Give Jewish kids a place to meet and interact with other Jewish kids.”

Hillel is the only male and female Jewish organization on campus.

The orga nizat ion holds dances and has a fair where

students can enjoy the Jewish culture by dancing, eating Jewish food and talking to people about t he Jew ish culture.

“ [ H i l l e l ] i s l i k e a n y other culture: music, food, c e l e b r a t i o n o f c u l t u r e is a must,” said Ilan Cane, a business junior. “Ever y c u lt u re shou ld be cele-brated.”

For some members t he organization provides guid-ance, Kamien said.

For students who are not Jewish, the organization is a place to meet people, get a feel for the culture and learn.

they have participated in a similar event in Houston.

“Any time a student goes t h r ou g h a c om p e t i t i on process t hey learn some-thing about themselves and it makes it all worth it,” Stark said.

HKS is looking for applicants who are confident, committed and have the ability to serve the community, Chuparkoff said.

“Not-for-profits have chal-lenging design needs that the fellowship can help develop into tangible projects,” Chuparkoff said. “We are in a position to help and to better the environ-ment around us.”

Teams are given the problem on the first day. The next two days are devoted to finding a solution. The end of the third day is the presentation of the idea, he said.

“In school there are certain parameters that restrict the ability of a project to be fully realistic, but through this fellowship there’s the oppor-tunity to work on a project that could come to fruition,” Calender said.

The charette consists of three accomplishments to be met by the teams: discovery, enlightenment and delivery, Chuparkoff said.

“We want people to have fun, be creative and to get a sense of accomplishment,” he said.

Atonement, which is part of the new year.

This “family” is a place

where they all can relate to each other because being a minority can be difficult.

“[Being a minority] can be difficult at times, especially when we have to miss class

on an important holiday and professors may not know what it is,” Kamien said.

“I came home and there were 50-plus people at my house getting excited and pumped, it was so awesome,” Ariza said. “I’m just glad that everyone came out. There’s going to be more events for the community.”

With the Booze and Cruise’s la rge t u r nout, t he t h ree friends decided to plan more events and coined the name “Denton Wolf Pack” as an identifier. Though Ariza and Assaad created the Facebook event page, Royster came up with the original idea for the Booze and Cruise.

“It was an idea that someone had a few years back,” said Royster, a Denton resident. “We just want to have good times, meet new people and open up the community more and more to bikes.”

While planning the Booze and Cruise, Bullseye Bike Shop promoted the event and the trio made announcements at the Tuesday Bike Night, a bike ride at 9 p.m. every Tuesday by the Language Building.

“If I meet anyone and find out they bike, I always tell them about Tuesday night bike

rides,” said Allyson Valerio, an anthropology junior. “Or they can always just bike with me. If more and more people are aware of biking, the city will put more bike lanes in.”

During the ride, the bikers stopped at six houses to drink and mingle with friends. The owners of each house were told to keep a recycling bin outside so the cans could be disposed of properly.

“Recycling goes along with cycling,” Ariza said. “We are already helping the environ-ment by not driving our car around so it just seems logical to recycle.”

At each intersection, two people stopped on each side so everyone could pass safely. Ariza said they did a lot of planning at the last minute, but it worked out.

“The party we got to at the end was an accomplishment because everyone got there safe,” Royster said. “It was like you saw the light at the end of the tunnel.”

After the Booze and Cruise, Ariza said they definitely plan on doing it again, but he wants to make it biannual so people look forward to it.

“These r ides are meant to bring people closer,” said Assaad, a pre-electrical engi-neering sophomore. “It’s a community bike ride, there should be no discrimination. Big wheels, small wheels, we want ‘em all.”

The UNT volleyball team expe-rienced a weekend of firsts in conference play: its first confer-ence win and a three-set defeat.

The Mean Green (9-8, 1-1) invaded Florida Atlantic’s home court on Friday night, sweeping the Owls in three straight sets for its best offensive game so far (25-15, 25-17, 25-18).

But UNT couldn’t hold onto its 17-match sweepless streak, falling to the Florida International Golden Panthers on Saturday in an agonizing three sets (25-23, 25-19, 25-20).“From a defensive standpoint, we out-dug both teams,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “I felt our defense was pretty good in both matches.”

The conference-opening split left UNT in second place in the Sun Belt West Division, trailing the 2-0 Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns by one game.

FridaySenior outside hitters Amy

Huddleston and Brittani Youman shined in UNT’s conference opener against FAU (9-8, 1-1), slamming a combined 24 kills past the Owls’ defense.

Youman’s 10 kills gave her a .500 hitting percentage in the match while Huddleston’s 14 kills contributed to her .478 hitting percentage for the day.

The Mean Green hit .354 for the day, scoring a total of 48 kills to top the Owls’ 26. The team’s most powerful performance came in the final set, racking up 18 kills for a .455 hitting percentage against FAU.

“Our back row did really well against them,” Huddleston said. “Everything clicked. Our coaches prepared us well and we knew which shots to take. FAU really helped us out because they didn’t adjust.”

Junior setter Kayla Saey set her team up 35 times in the match, while junior outside hitter Shelley Morton and junior defensive specialist Sarah Willey each had 10 digs on defense to hold FAU down to a .108 hitting percentage.

None of FAU’s players reached the double digits in kills or digs in the match.

SaturdayFIU (8-6, 2-0) silenced UNT on

its home court Saturday, handing

the Mean Green its first three-set sweep in 17 matches. The streak was the longest a team had gone without a sweep in school history. Before the loss, the team was 7-0 in three-set matches this season.“We didn’t terminate the ball,” Murczek said. “It was the first time we’ve been swept all season, so that’s a real credit to the team and how hard the players have worked.”

Huddleston and Youman each had nine kills against the Golden Panthers, but it didn’t help raise their combined hitting percentage of .057.

Senior outside hitter Roxana Casvean’s .400 hitting percentage led the Mean Green in the match as she contributed four kills and five digs on defense.

UNT was held to a combined hitting percentage of .082, its lowest this season.

Murczek felt the loss didn’t credit the Golden Panthers’ defense, but was more of a fault on the Mean Green’s offense.

“They had a game plan for our middle blockers,” he said. “But it was more about our side of execution.”

Willey had a match-high of 18 digs against FIU and is now 16 away from becoming the fourth

player in school history to reach 1,000 in her career.

Home, sweet homeUNT will host its first home

matches of the season this weekend, taking on the Ragin’ Cajuns at 7 p.m. Friday and Louisiana-Monroe at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Volleyball Center in Mean Green Village.

The Mean Green softball team fell behind early to the Seminole State College Trojans, but used a big seventh inning to pull away and secure its second victory 6-1 in as many games on Sunday.

Rain delayed the game, w h ic h w a s or ig i n a l l y scheduled to take place on Saturday af ternoon. However, the daylong delay didn’t seem to affect either team.

UNT loaded the bases twice in the seventh inning and was able to bring in half of its six runs, two of which came on the strength of senior outfielder Monica Hirsch’s RBI double that brought senior Anna Barren a nd sophomore L esley Hirsch home.

“I knew that [Trojans starting pitcher Ali Manship] was coming inside and I knew what she was going to pitch to me, so I just expected it,” Monica Hirsch said.

Monica Hirsch batted in another run in the eighth inning on a single.

The team looked good in the exhibition, but it needs to get out of the blocks sooner than it did on Sunday, head coach T.J. Hubbard said.

“I was a little disappointed that we got off to a little bit of a slower start offensively, but give [Manship] some credit. She did a pretty good job,” Hubbard said.

Manship gave up just one run in five solid innings of work and helped out her own cause by batting in SSC’s lone run of the afternoon in the fourth inning.

On the other side, redshirt freshman Ashley Kirk got the start for UNT in her second appearance for the Mean Green. Kirk made the most of it, striking out nine hitters and surrendering only one run during her six innings on the mound.

Kirk was very modest in her assessment of her perfor-

mance.“Honestly, if I didn’t have

my defense behind me, those outs would not have happened. I thought I did well, but they did even better,” Kirk said.

K i rk w a s rel ie ve d by sen ior Ma l lor y Ca nt ler, who struck out three in her f irst pitching appearance.

WednesdayThe Mean Green won’t have

much time to rest, as the team will welcome the Grayson County College Vikings to Denton on Wednesday.

Although UNT has yet to lose, the defense has been somewhat sloppy through two games. The team has racked up four errors, some-thing Hubbard says needs to be fixed.

“I’d like to see us be able to play a seven, eight, nine inning game without any errors,” Hubbard said.

W hen U N T t a kes t he field against the Vikings on Wednesday, Hubbard said he expects sophomore Brittany Simmons to be on the mound and for freshman Lauren Poole to get some work in as well. Both Simmons and Poole pitched well against Pa r is Junior Col lege last Wednesday.

The game is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Lovelace Stadium in Mean Green Village.

The UNT soccer team strug-gled on offense and found itself on the wrong side of a dramatic overtime thriller as it dropped the first two conference games of the season this weekend.

The Mean Green (5-5-1, 0-2-0) couldn’t score off four corner kicks and 20 shots on goal in a 1-0 loss at Western Kentucky (3-3-2, 1-1-0) and lost a late lead en route to a 2-1 defeat to Middle Tennessee (4-7-0, 1-1-0).

“This is the most important part of the season and if we’re going to achieve our ultimate goal of winning conference, we have to win on the road,” head coach John Hedlund said. “If we keep losing late leads like we have been it will be extremely hard to compete.”

UNT has now lost three in a row and has won only one game in its last seven contests.

FridaySenior goalkeeper Mandy Hall

recorded five saves to become the Mean Green’s all-time saves leader with 218, but the offense couldn’t produce and UNT fell to Western Kentucky 1-0.

Both teams were scoreless for most of the game until Christen Sims broke the tie with a score in the 61st minute.

“Any time you feel like you have a chance to win and you lose in the later part of the game it’s frustrating,” sophomore forward Michelle Young said. “We will keep practicing on passing the ball and finding the open player, that’s something we must work on.”

Chances did not escape the Mean Green, as it outshot the Hilltoppers 20-16.

“With our depth on offense we will always get opportuni-ties to score every game, but the execution on the chances is just as important,” Hedlund said.

Sunday Junior forward Kelsey Perlman

put the Mean Green up 1-0 with her third goal in four games in the 52nd minute, but UNT allowed a pair of goals by the Blue Raiders’ leading scorer late and fell short.

Minutes after the goal the

Mean Green went a player up after a red card was given to Middle Tennessee’s Shan Jones, forcing her to leave the game.

“We have no problem playing against an aggressive team,” freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges said. “Those kind of games are going to happen in conference and we feel like if a team is a going to play with a physical style we can handle it.”

In a strange turn of events, the shorthanded Blue Raider offense found a spark and Vanessa Mueggler scored an equalizer in the 62nd minute.

Neither team would score again in regulation and UNT dropped to 0-3-1 in overtime contests when Mueggler notched her second goal in the 102nd minute.

Hall continued to play an active role, recording 10 saves in the loss.

“Mandy is going to give her best effort every game and we feel confident having her in net,” Hedlund said. “She is going to keep games close no matter who we play.”

The Mean Green returns home this weekend when it hosts fellow Sun Belt members Louisiana-Monroe at 7 p.m Friday and Louisiana-Lafayette at 1 p.m. Sunday at North Texas Soccer Field.

I’m sure many of you have heard the accusations against Bishop Eddie Long, yet I have only heard amazing stories about this man. When Long v isited my home church, Abundant Living Faith Center, Pastor Neiman only had great things to say about him. Sadly, this man is being accused of sexually taking advantage of four young men and stealing money from his church to buy these men gifts.

I am not here to choose sides, defend, or accuse anyone as the case is sti l l undergoing investigation — but I do wish to point out a few things that concern me. For one, I do not understand how a man could convince a heterosexual man to be in a relationship with him without any force involved. I under-stand that peer pressure is extremely hard to escape and ignore, but as an adult, it becomes easier to differ-entiate r ight f rom w rong. Children, on the other hand, do not know any better.

Various news sources say

that these men were “lured into sexual acts [with Long] against their will by offering them cars, cash, jewelry and vacat ions.” Notice t hat it says “against their wil l by offering them…” gifts not “by force and/or drug usage.” I do appreciate nice things when offered to me and I am sure anyone would; but I doubt anyone would allow them-selves to suffer that way just to receive luxurious things. No one can force you to accept gifts, so I believe these offer-ings tempted the men, which led them to agree to having a relationship with Pastor Long.

I am almost certain that they knew the consequences of their actions but did not believe it would go this far. If drugs were used against these young men I feel they were only used to do sexual acts; but the receiving of gifts, and their continuous choice to see Long is a different story. Another issue that concerns me is that these boys had been involved with Long for years

as members of his church, and kept attending services. I k now people who have suffered this kind of abuse need time to heal, but these cases have been prolonged for years despite the continuation of their unwanted relation-ship. These men have allowed Long to take control of them for so long without saying a word, so why have they publi-cized these offenses now?

In my opinion, this is just another Michael Jackson case. Whether it is true or not, I find it astonishing that once someone speaks of a certain offense the amount of victims increases immediately.

Yes, I know it is difficult for someone to speak of such abuse, but if they were embar-rassed and hurt before, why come out once everyone else does? If you cannot take a sta nd for you rsel f, ma ke things right and help others avoid the same tragedy, then you should not publicize it at all. Now, to defend Long in a certain area, I would like to say that no man is perfect

except for t he l iv ing God above. I do not know if Long did these atrocious things; but I do feel he should not be bashed for doing some-thing many others have been accused of.

I’m not saying it is OK, but we have all made mistakes in our lives and like God said, “he without sin cast the first stone.” If he did commit these crimes may God have mercy on his soul — but know that Long will reap what he sows.

Bishop Eddie Long: “I am not going to try this case in the media; it will be tried in the court of justice and decided in the court of justice. Please hear this: I’ve been accused. I’m under attack. I want you to know as I said earlier I am not a perfect man. ... But this thing I’m going to fight. I feel like David against Goliath, but I’ve got five rocks and I haven’t thrown one yet.”

Tattoos have become a popular accessory of today’s “college-age” youth, and while most fads come and go, this one is perma-nent. I have racked up a collec-tion of five fairly large pieces of artwork on my body by the age of 23, and as the moment when I join the professional work-force fast approaches, my fellow marked men and I stand to make a dramatic change in the phys-ical appearance of corporate America.

So many in my generation have already made the lifelong decision to turn their body into a canvas to display images of importance, aesthetics, reverence or even simply for humor.

The more serious generations currently in control of setting the standards for the workplace have always considered tattoos to be a characteristic of military personnel or motorcycle-revving

bikers. However, many are now seeing that tattoos have become a personal choice for every clas-sification of today’s youth, from outcasts to A-listers, rockers to jocks, dropouts to college-bound. Much to my mother’s dismay all four of her children have gone under the needle. Yet I, with my five tattoos, stand as the least covered.

Since getting a tattoo is a deci-sion with permanent effects and has increased in popularity, many companies have had no choice but to overlook what was once an unacceptable accessory so as not to lose out on otherwise qualified candidates.

Despite this increasing trend, other companies are slow to adopt this new look and continue to uphold strict rules regarding the visibility of body ink in the workplace.

Because I have always aspired

to a high-profile career, I strate-gically placed all of my tattoos so they can be easily hidden under regular clothing. However, others have been a bit more short-sighted, or simply did not care. In the past, my appearance has proven a disadvantage. With my tattoos, facial piercings and dyed black hair, most people assume me to be short of the respectful and conscientious student with a perfect grade-point average that I am.

I hope that the growing pres-ence of tattoos in society will encourage everyone to be more open-minded and draw more attention to skills and ability rather than physical attributes, which should never be the focus of employers in the first place anyway.

Should an alteration in one’s physical appearance play such a large role in whether or not he

or she is hired for a job? Do you think that the conservative status quo will change as our tattooed generation ages and takes over the upper management of the American workplace? I, for one, hope so.

Morals missing in Eddie Long case

The Sept. 23 headline on the Cuidad Juarez news-paper El Diario de Juarez read “What do you want from us?” The editorial, a near surrender to the cartels, asks the question “You are currently the de facto authorities in the city…Tell us what you expect from us as a news-paper?” as a response to the multitude of murders occur-ring in the border towns struck by the drug cartel wars. The editorial wanted to make the public crisis the paper faces known to the world. It succeeded, as multiple news sources across the United States picked up the story and the newspaper received letters from journalists all across the world.

This front-page opinion column is the result of fear, stress and outcry over the 22 journalists killed and seven missing over the past four years.

The Editorial Board thinks the Mexican government and the International Committee to Protect Journalists need to do a better job of shielding reporters and photog-raphers from threats and violence.

El Diario photographer Luis Carlos Santiago was slain last week over his coverage of the cartel war, and in 2008, crime reporter Armando Rodriguez was gunned down while taking his daughters to school.

Out of fear before Thursday’s editorial, editor Jose Martin Lozano went so far as to completely limit coverage of the cartels because of the dangers to his journalists and because his car was torched in 2005 as a threat.

The media is so frightened that the Matamoros press didn’t cover a four-hour gun battle between the cartel and Mexican marines.

This fear is only further hurting an already war-torn area.

Mexico is the most dangerous place in the Americas for a journalist, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. It calls it highly unsafe to pursue the profession in Mexico.

The Editorial Board thinks it is outrageous so many journalists have been murdered for reporting and it’s absurd it has taken so long for the Mexican government to step in and protect its journalists.

Because of fear instilled in them by the cartels and lack of response from the government, the media in Mexico have been ineffective and self-censored causing many journalists toblame the government. Ninety percent of the homicide cases surrounding journalists go unsolved, blanketed by government bribes, which the journalists take since their salaries are so low.

President Felipe Calderon recently passed a law declaring the murder of a reporter a federal crime after the murder of Santiago, as well as instituting an early warning system that would help relocate journalists who are in possible danger. The editor of the El Diario doesn’t feel these laws will do any good, claiming “the govern-ment is so messed up it can’t even protect itself.”

Despite the negativity from the editor of the El Diario, Santiago’s murder and their editorial appears to be a turning point in Mexican journalism, as well as the drug cartel war.

By taking bribes and adhering to the self-censor-ship, the media is only further exacerbating an already stressed situation along the border, allowing the govern-ment to continue to do little to protect its citizens and journalists.

Possibly we will see a change with the new laws being passed and continued intervention from the Committee to Protect Journalists because of the El Diario’s edito-rial, but until then, expect Mexico to stay a high-risk place for journalists.

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

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 fill 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

BY BEN BABYSenior Staff Writer

UNT had lost seven straight games, 10 starters in three games, and had not defeated Florida At lantic in seven attempts.

Saturday was not about what the Mean Green could not do, but rather what it could accom-plish. UNT (1-3, 1-0) picked up its first win of the season at Lockhart Stadium as it held on for a 21-17 victory against the Florida Atlantic Owls (1-2, 0-1).

The win snapped a losing streak that dated back to last season, with the Mean Green’s most recent victory coming against Western Kentucky last Halloween. UNT won its first conference game of the year, something that had not been accomplished since 2005, when it defeated Middle Tennessee.

“It was win or nothing else,” junior running back James Hamilton said. “We were not going home without the [win].”

Down to its third-string quarterback, redshirt sopho-more Riley Dodge showed no signs of someone who had been plagued by shoulder problems.

The Southlake Carroll star had an outstanding performance in his first start of the season, completing 10 of 15 passes for 146 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Riley Dodge achieved some-thing that the Mean Green had failed to do in the first three games of the season- keep its starting quarterback healthy until the end of the game. He was aided by a strong running game and play calling from offensive coordinator Mike Canales as the Mean Green racked up 275 rushing yards.

“Our players really focused in on what we do have and expected to win tonight,” head coach Todd Dodge said.

Hamilton shined in the backup role, amassing 122 yards and a touchdown on a mere 11 carries. After Hamilton chopped up the Owls defense for a 32-yard touchdown run with 7:45 left in the game, the Mean Green defense was able to hold on to a late lead. In six of its last 12 games, UNT had blown a fourth-quarter lead.

“They had confidence in their eyes,” Todd Dodge said. “They believed in one another, and got the thing done. It was

Hamilton, clutch defense roast Owls for first win


Darius Carey: 2 rec., 69 yds., 2 TDs

Riley Dodge: 213 total yds., 2 TDs

James Hamilton: 122 yds., 1 TD

The sophomore wide receiver grabbed just two passes on Saturday, but both went for touchdowns. His 23-yard TD reception tied the game at seven near the end of the fourth quarter, and a 46-yard bomb gave the Mean Green a 14-10-halftime lead.

The redshirt sophomore quarterback filled in admirably with the top two quarterbacks out for the season with inju-ries. Dodge didn’t throw it often, but he was effective when he did, going 10-15 for 146 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 67 yards on the ground.

Playing backup to the best running back in the Sun Belt doesn’t give the junior running back many opportunities, but he shined on Saturday. Hamilton rushed for 122 yards and a game-winning 32-yard touchdown run on just 11 carries.

Unusual suspects

Cross country teams take � rst at Ken Garland InviteBY RAEGAN POOLIntern

The Mean Green cross country team did not let the pouring rain stop it as both the men and women won first place on Saturday at the Eagle Point Cross Country Course in Denton.

“It was nice to win your home course. You always want to win your home competitions,” head coach Sam Burroughs said. “Being our one home compe-tition for the fall cross country season, it was delightful to win on both sides.”

The loud gunshot released

the adrenaline as the women took off for the 5K race. The UNT women finished first with 33 points, a large improvement from their fifth-place finish at the same meet last season. Following behind was Southern Methodist University’s B-team (35), Tarleton State University (52) and UT-Dallas (100).

Senior Ingrid Mollenkopf, who was ill last week, won the indi-vidual title, clocking 18:42.84.

“I’m happy with it. I did what I was supposed to,” she said about

her performance. “It wasn’t a fast race, but it’s hard to do a fast race if there’s nobody faster in front of me.”

Junior Sara Dietz took second and senior Sallie Anderson took fifth, finishing in 19:07.54 and 20:14.92, respectively.

Freshman Elyssa Garcia finished fourth for the Mean Green in 21:26.96 at her first collegiate performance while junior Amy Alcala finished fifth in 21:42.59.

“It was good to have the

debut of Elyssa Garcia on the women’s side and the debut of Eric Thompson on the men’s side,” Burroughs said. “To have Garcia on the women’s side was much needed in order to pull off the close win over SMU.”

The men shed more than 20 seconds from their average time at the 2009 Ken Garland Invitational. The Mean Green earned first place in the 8K with 33 points. Close behind was Tarleton (35), then UTD (73), Letourneau (94) and Paul Quinn

(131).“I think they ran quite well.

They’re coming along well,” senior Patrick Strong said. “By conference, we should be running pretty fast.”

Strong took the individual title with a time of 24:50.00, over a minute faster than his second place finish of 25:55.00 in the 2009 meet. Coming in second for the Mean Green was freshman Matt Russ, who won fourth place overall, clocking 26:29.00. Freshmen Adrian Nevarez and Wade Denton had top-ten finishes with times of 27:46.00 and 28:15.00, respectively. Junior Nick Mahoy rounded out the men’s top five finishers in 29:24.00, and freshman Eric Thompson debuted in 30:09.00.

“On the men’s side, Wade had a much better race than he’s had on his first two outings,” Burroughs said. “He was closer to Nevarez. We kind of wanted to close that gap, and he did that today.”

The men’s team relies heavily on freshmen runners who make up three of the top five scorers, while it is still seeking a fifth man.

Burroughs expects to continue seeing improvements “as [freshmen] round into shape,” he said. “College training is a lot different than high school training, and sometimes it just takes a while for their bodies to get used to it and adjust to racing a longer distance than from high school.”

The Mean Green has two weeks off from racing until the Centenary Invitational on Oct. 16 in Shreveport, La.

Junior corner D’Leon McCord makes a tackle against Rice. The Mean Green ended its seven-game losing streak with its � rst win against Florida Atlantic 21-17.

just a culmination of the entire football game, from the first quarter all the way through.”

Junior defensive back Royce Hill was assigned to cover FAU senior wide receiver Lester Jean, who averaged 131.50 yards per game coming into Saturday’s contest.

Hill did a solid job, holding Jean to seven catches for 54 yards.

Hill had a critical intercep-tion with less than four minutes in the fourth quarter to stymie a late charge by the Owls.

“I k new [ sen ior l i ne-backer Craig Robertson] was leading us into that battle for us to win that last posses-sion, and we came through,”sophomore defensive end Brandon McCoy said.

McCoy had a key sack late in the game to help seal the win.

With its conference-opening win, the Mean Green will try to string together consecutive

wins for the first time since 2004, the last time it was crowned champion of the Sun Belt.

UNT will try to accom-plish the elusive achievement when it faces Louisiana-L a f ayet te at 6 : 30 p.m . Saturday at Fouts Field.
