When the UNT System purchased the Titche-Goett inger Building in downtown Dallas in 2006, the building was outdated and had four empty floors in need of renovations.

So when the Texas Legislature approved the creation of the UNT Dallas College of Law in 2009, UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson knew it was time to do something with those empty floors.

“It’ll provide flexibility for UNT to expand in the heart of Dallas,” Jackson said. “Instead of looking for expensive prop-erty elsewhere.”

The $29 million project commenced last week and will be finished in time for the opening of the law school – the first public college of law in North Texas – in August 2014.

Finding a job can be tough, especially in the current economic climate.

Texas had a 7.1 percent unemployment rate this August, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As a result, students given the responsibility of putting themselves through college with jobs are forced to compete for positions with unemployed people trying to find a way back into the workforce.

“I need money to help pay for college,” undecided freshman Brian Gilbreath said. “Through financial aid and loans, I have everything paid off except for my last housing bill.”

Denton’s unemployment rate was 6.4 percent as of July, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. While this rate is less than that of the state overall, with two universities’ students and adults struggling to find work the task can be difficult.

“The jobs go really fast,” pre-studio art freshman Alex Clifton said.

Clifton wants a job because she is about to get her driver’s license and will have to front the bills for her car herself.

Kurt Krause, director of the Career Center located in Chestnut Hall, said he sees a correlation between the people who do get hired and those who don’t.

UNT System offices will move to the seventh floor. Additional shelves for the law library will be on the eighth floor.

In addition, the building will also have additional academic and administration spaces, a general teaching area, lobbies, a student support office, new heating and air conditioning, updated utilities and extensions on the elevator and escalator, Jackson said.

And the cement wall facing Main Street will finally have windows from floors four to eight.

The UNT System currently only uses the first four floors: dean and staff offices on the first two and classrooms on the third and fourth. It also rents out class-rooms to Texas A&M University-Commerce and the University of Texas at Arlington, as well as apartments to full-time students.

UNT faculty member Carol Hagen has dedicated her entire career to helping students, from 4-year-old toddlers to 20-year-old college undergraduates.

Her commitment to educa-t ion at al l levels wil l be honored later this month at the annual Texas Association for the Education of Young Children (TAEYC) conference in Galveston, where Hagen will be presented with the 2012 “Teacher Educator of the Year” award.

Hagen, a senior lecturer in the department of teacher and education administra-tion and director of the UNT Child Development Laboratory (CDL), said she was humbled at the news that she would be commended Oct. 25.

“It’s a great honor,” Hagen said. “I’m very excited to attend and receive the award.”

Every year, TAEYC honors individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the field of early care and educat ion in the state of Texas, according to the TAEYC website.

“I nominated her for the award because she’s an icon in the Denton community in the realm of child care,” said early childhood education doctoral student Stephanie Reinke, program coordinator for the “Child Care Access Means Parents in School” grant. “She impacts so many people on so many levels, especially the students in the program,

and that is what the award is honoring her for.”

Reinke has known Hagen for 16 years, and her niece is in Hagen’s CDL program.

During her career, Hagen has been a preschool teacher, has taught undergraduate and graduate students and has served on the state and local boards of the same organiza-tion that is honoring her this year.

“They are very aware of all the work she has done in this field,” Reinke said. “She is well-respected within the child care community.”

Hagen has even impacted students who initially had no intention of working with chil-dren.

“Before I graduated, Dr. Hagen was act ua l ly my professor,” Bridget O’Brien, lead teacher of the 3- and 4-year-old classroom and lab assistant in the CDL. “I didn’t want to teach preschoolers before her class. She really inspired me.”

O’Brian said Hagen’s unique style of teaching made her stand out from other educators.

“She is relatable and down to earth,” O’Brien said. “She has tons of experience, being the director and having taught

preschool, and she really helps out the community in other schools.”

Even with her impres-sive credentials, Hagen stays modest, O’Brien said.

Hagen said it was all about helping the students.

“I think what all faculty at UNT do is try to make an impact and prepare students for the real world,” Hagen said. “I personally think there is hardly anything more impor-tant than preparing students to teach young children because they’re truly the future.”

She repeatedly credited UNT’s education program.

“Our College of Education does an excel lent job of providing students with not just the background and theory they need to be excel-lent teachers,” Hagen said. “But also gives them incred-ible real-world experiences, working with students in class-rooms.”

At the end of the day, it’s her passion for child care that makes Hagen special, Reinke said.

“She is truly very deserving of the award,” she said. “It is her commitment to the broader community that makes her stand out from everyone else.”

Jac k s on s a id t h e $29 million for the renovations came f rom the operat ing budget of the UNT System, the budget of the new law school, and rental income from TAMU-C, UTA, and the apartment-leasing units. The project didn’t receive any facility appropriations from the government.

“But now that we are getting to see some more of the formal plans, we feel that the move will actually benefit our program by giving us a newer, better facility,” she said.

Construction of the new Union will cost about $120 million, according to the Union Master Plan, but Stidham wasn’t sure how much the new building at Welch and Hickory streets would cost the university.

Figuring out the logistics of hauling the more than 2,000 pieces in the Texas Fashion Collection – including items that date back to the early 1800s and a South American mummy-bundle textile from A.D. 1100 – has been exhausting, but collection director Myra Walker said she was excited about the move.

The collection has accumu-lated so many historic articles of clothing and accessories over the

past three decades that boxes sit atop rafters.

Walker pointed out patches of black mold and areas damaged by flooding in the 4,500-square-foot room in Scoular Hall. Layouts allocate about 5,000 square feet for the collection at its new temporary location.

“We’re thrilled to be going,” she said. “This building has been here since 1947, and there were renovations made in 1993, but it’s on its last leg.”

She estimated that packing, digitally cataloging and moving every item in the collection alone will take the entire spring semester.

As daunting and time-consuming as it may be, Dawn Figueroa, assistant curator for the collection, said it’s just something that has to be taken in stride.

“The plans are underway, and we have all been made a part of that process, which I think is great,” Figueroa said.

The changing landscape at the intersection of Hickory and Fry streets has become a popular topic of conversa-tion this semester as construc-tion gave way to new restau-rants and apartments, but one seemingly minor change to the intersection hopes to make big improvements to its safety and accessibility.

The city of Denton recently instal led new pedestrian buttons at the intersection that make crossing the busy streets safer and easier by verbally announcing whether or not it is clear to cross.

The buttons were added to better comply with guidelines set by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which sets standards for accessibility in public places.

“The new system is intended to be safer for pedestrians with disabilities,” said Officer Ryan Grelle, Denton Police Department Media Relations Officer.

The buttons are part of a system called the Audible Programmable System, and when pressed will either play a sound that signifies it is safe to cross, or audibly and repeat-edly tell pedestrians to “wait.”

Talking buttons caution pedestrians

According to the system’s website, APSguide.org, the system makes it easier and safer for visually impaired pedes-trians to cross the street, and the installment usually leads to improved crosswalk etiquette from all pedestrians, since they are less likely to cross the street during the “Don’t Walk” signal.

This is the first intersec-tion in Denton to receive the upgrade, with many additional

intersections to follow, Grelle said.

The intersection may have been considered a priority since it is heavily trafficked by pedestrians, although Grelle said there have been no recent pedestrian accidents.

Radio, te lev i s ion a nd film master’s student David Martinez, who drives a UNT e-Ride bus on campus between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m., said he

crosses the intersection often and has to keep an eye out for reckless pedestrians.

“Sometimes somebody is crossing at a green light, so I stop for them because I have no choice,” Martinez said. “Then a car in the next lane will whiz past me and almost hit the pedestrians.”

Students may want to start heeding the robotic voice telling them to “wait.”

been working there for four and a half years, said the renovations usually start as early as 7 a.m. and end as early as 5 p.m. so that construction doesn’t get in the way of students.

She added that despite current construction on the elevator, students haven’t had t rouble navigat ing around the building.

“Most importantly, we are f ina l ly put t ing up windows,” Peterson said. The UNT Dallas College of Law will begin accepting students in fall 2013.

A panel of UNT faculty members and pol it ica l ly i nvolve d Nor t h Te x a n s sounded off to students in the Business Leadership Building on Tuesday evening about the role of the almighty dollar in American politics.

Hosted by the Student Money Management Center and the Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity, the “Money in Politics” forum addressed how political spending affects elec-tions, how students can get involved in politics and every-thing in between.

The six-person panel, which included professors of busi-ness law and Congressional candidates, answered audience questions in detail during the two-hour forum.

Graduate assistant and SMMC employee Erik Izoura moderated the meeting.

Izoura assisted SMMC peer mentor Stephen Trevino in organizing, planning and execut ing the discussion, which Trevino developed last year and implemented this summer.

“We want to provide knowl-edge for UNT students,” Trevino said. “Everyone hears about money playing a role in politics. We actually want to get down and find out what that is: what kind of influ-

Panel discusses “Money in Politics”ence does it carry, what kind of decisions are made because of money affecting politics and how does that affect you as a UNT student?”

Students asked questions about where campaign money goes, where to find an objec-tive account of candidates’ stances and how students with no capital can contribute to political parties to affect governance.

Business law professor Marcia Staff emphasized the importance of contributing time to political campaigns students believed in.

“They need people to stuff envelopes. I used to type enve-lopes on a typewriter, that kind of thing,” Staff said. “You will be surprised how valued your contribution will be, because time is really very valuable. Anything that you can contribute to anyone you really believe in, it’s a real learning experience.”

Ph.D. candidate Ricardo Correas contributed enthusias-tically from the audience, chal-lenging the panel’s comments and questions.

“I don’t feel some of the information was completely accurate, but I think the discussion overall was infor-mative,” Correa said. “When you st imulate the discus-sion, then you are st imu-lating people to go out and do

their own research and think through what really seems to make sense and what doesn’t.”

Although panelists and student participants differed and contradicted each other on how to deal with “money in politics,” one point was repeated consistently: no matter how much money a person – candidate or voter – has, at the end of the day it all comes down to how the

votes fall. “You have more power

to affect those around you than a billionaire,” said David Sanchez, a Democratic candi-date running for the U.S. House of Representatives’ 26th district, which includes Denton. “You can reach out, you could talk to everyone in this room. I don’t think money is the microphone. I think people are the microphone.”

countries for international engage-ment, said Claire Riley, admin-istrative coordinator for special initiatives for UNT-International.

The lecture, sponsored by UNT-International, will explain the way India has developed harmony and synthesis as a system grown from inside out, Swami Durganada said.

“Synthesis and harmony are the strength of the country,” he said.

“But there are different levels and different ways of approaching this harmony.”

With Swami Durganada’s help, UNT is in the process of part-nering with the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University to share resources and collaborate on research projects, Riley said.

The university itself is highly ranked and known for its focus on Indian spiritual and cultural

heritage, said journalism professor Nikhil Moro, Swami Durganada’s primary academic contact at UNT.

It would be hard to find another university in India that explicitly focuses on that area, he said.

“India is one of the oldest cradles of human civilization,” he said. “Which grants it a very high level of sophistication in philos-ophy and science and the arts

and all of the higher values that determine progress for humans. India is a very important crucible of knowledge.”

Some of the traditions that have developed in India over the centu-ries are very valuable, he said.

He said a partnership with the country and the pursuit of knowl-edge of Indian culture is impor-tant to understanding philosophy and the world.

This Friday, José E. Limón, a professor of American literature and Director of the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame, will speak about the making of a Mexican-American middle class identity.

The discussion, which will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Willis Library Forum, is part of the American Studies Colloquium series put on by the English Department.

“We have tended to ignore that there is a Mexican-American middle class and that it has been developing for some time now,” Limón said. “It’s an important political and cultural force.”

Limón said that Mexican-Americans learning to speak English was one reason this class has developed.

English professor Javier Rodriguez first spoke with Limón about coming to UNT.

Rodriguez said Limón is one of the most prominent intellec-tuals in the field of Mexican-American studies and a well-regarded scholar.

“One of the things we need to do is develop a more sophis-ticated understanding of all

Lecture to discuss Mexican-Americans

Latino populations in the United States,” Rodriguez said. “And by exploring the complexities of the Mexican-American population, I think people can begin to develop a richer picture of this growing demographic.”

English junior Anna Brown said she is looking forward to the lecture, which will be the first American Studies Colloquium lecture she has attended.

“I thought it was an all-inclu-sive term [middle class],” Brown said. “I didn’t know there was

a specific category concerning race.”

She said that by gaining knowl-edge, people get involved and become aware of issues that could directly concern them.

English professor Kelly Wisecup coordinated Limón’s visit.

“His area of study is Mexican-American literature and culture,

s o h e ’ s t h i n k i n g about the area that used to be Mexico,” Wisecup said. “We really benefit from the talk at UNT because our students and faculty can really engage with current work that’s going on in the field.”

The American Studies Colloquium series began in 2010.

The series usually brings in three speakers a semester who speak about a topic of interest, Wisecup said.

She said schedules are decided at least a semester in advance after speaking to professors who see that students have an interest in a specific area of study.

“We have strong relation-ships with employers who offer internships,” Krause said. “They put students [who participate in internships] head and shoulders

BRETT MEDEIROS Sta� Writer

At th is t ime last year, Apogee Stadium was the talk of the campus. Now that the stadium is a year old, it feels like traveling across the highway is routine.

With Fouts Field no longer host i ng footba l l ga mes, Apogee Stadium is the high-light of the Mean Green’s athletics facilities.

The $78 million stadium is so new that it has yet to host more than 10 total home games in its career. The university set high standards for Apogee, which brings up the question: did it accomplish what everyone hoped?

Before the stadium opened, advertisements about season tickets flooded the campus, TV stations and billboards along campus.

The athletic program sold 18 of the 19 suites Apogee has to offer and approximately 650 of the 750 club level seats in the stadium’s first year.

“We h ave s old add i -tional seats this year so that number has risen now, but we don’t want to sell all of the seats,” Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said. “We want to retain some of those club level seats for those who want to make significant contribu-tions to the program.”

While the club level seats and suites’ sales numbers are impressive, the overall atten-dance hasn’t seen a rise from the attendance at Fouts Field.

The first game in Apogee Stadium brought in a crowd of 28,075 fans – the third highest attendance at a UNT home

game – but when compared to the season average for Apogee’s inaugural season and the final two seasons at Fouts Field, there is no obvious change.

In Fouts Field’s final two seasons, the stadium aver-aged an attendance of 18,228 fans and 17,718 fans per home game, respectively. Apogee’s inaugural season broke the school record for attendance in a single season, but only averaged 18,864 spectators.

Af ter a record set t ing crowd to open the stadium, the total attendance was over 20,000 fans only once.

“What we have got to do is get the students to come out and tailgate and enjoy them-selves, but when it’s game time they have to get inside the stadium,” Villarreal said. “I can look out over the back of the stadium where I sit and just see thousands of folks or more still tailgating in the middle of the second quarter.”

Part of the reason for the steady fan numbers may be attributed to the location of other Sun Belt football teams. As of now, the closest univer-sity to UNT is 326 miles away, at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. By car, it’d take Louisiana fans almost six hours to drive to Denton.

That distance is extensive for any opposing fan base to travel. Not surprisingly, Apogee’s highest attendance came when the team played the University of Houston in last year’s home opener.

Apogee also has a more green approach than Fouts had.

Some of the biggest contrib-utors to the green cause are

the three windmills that the university received through grants. It is estimated that the wind turbines save about 8 to 10 percent of the total energy used by the stadium and adja-cent buildings.

Windmills, solar panels, and nontoxic and biode-gradable materials within the stadium are al l parts of Apogee’s Platinum level LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] Certification.

“There is no comparison. Fouts was a great facility, but its time had gotten the best of it,” said Nick Nagel, UNT’s director of Facilities a nd Event Ma nagement. “Everything you see in the stadium contributed to the LEED certification. From the windmills to the high effi-ciency toilets in the restroom, it all contributed.”

In t h is season’s home opener, Apogee Stadium welcomed 22,259 spectators to see UNT face Division II school and in-state opponent Texas Southern University. Last season, the f irst two home games each had more than 20,000 fans, but the last four home games averaged a total of 15,983 fans.

Players on the UNT foot-ball team have said that the stadium is louder and the atmosphere is electric during UNT home games.

“The fans are right on top of the field, and the results simply outdo Fouts Field,” junior l inebacker Zachary Orr said.

This season, Apogee may be more electric, but UNT is hoping the attendance doesn’t dwindle as the year goes on.

Fouts Field was originally built in 1951 and held an estimated 20,000 fans. It now sits in the shadow of the $78 million Apogee Stadium that sits across I-35.

New stadium yielding same attendance results

Petersen striving forimmediate successRYNE GANNOE Senior Sta�

During the offseason, the entire UNT basketball program underwent significant changes. On the men’s side, Johnny Jones left for Louisiana State University, and Tony Benford was introduced as the new head coach.

Like the men’s team, the women’s basketball team expe-rienced changes of its own. Mike Petersen was hired as the new head coach after Karen Aston left for the University of Texas.

Petersen became the third head coach for the UNT women’s basketball team in three years and the seventh all-time. He takes the reins of a team that hasn’t had a winning season in six seasons.

“I didn’t come here to have a seventh [losing season],” Petersen said. “I’m not one of those that [says], ‘Well gee-whiz, we’re going to have to rebuild – that takes some time.’ That’s not fair. We have seniors on this team; that’s not fair to them. They don’t have time for me to come in here and waste

a season.”Petersen spent the last eight

years at Wake Forrest. He leaves Wake Forrest as the program’s winningest head coach with 125 wins. He led the Demon Deacons to the postseason three out of the last four years.

‘“As we set out to find a new head coach, it was a high priority to find someone with a long history of success and a great knowledge of the game, and Mike Petersen definitely brings that,” Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said during a press conference back in April.

The head coach isn’t the only new thing about the Mean Green basketball program.

In the offseason, Petersen added three new assistant coaches and recruited eight players. As practice begins, Petersen said the biggest adjust-ment is having everyone get to know each other.

“There’s an awful lot of new people in this program,” he said. “That’s a lot of moving parts that have to all be put in alignment, and all have to be on the same page.”

The transition has gone pretty well, Petersen said, but building team chemistry takes

time. He said that every team in college basketball has changed over the offseason and that UNT is no different.

“Chemistry isn’t ‘we like to hang out at the movies,’” he said. “Chemistry is [when] I trust you and you trust me. I got your back out there on the court. Chemistry is hard, it’s work [and] it requires an investment.”

The coaching change left only one staff member from last year’s team, assistant coach Wesley Brooks. Junior guard Laura McCoy said Brooks added stability to all the changes.

“It helps to have a coach who was here,” McCoy said. “He knows what we’ve been through, he knows how hard we work, and he knows our personalities. I think that helps.”

Petersen la id out the program’s five focal points for the upcoming season.

“We will play hard, we will share the ball, we will commit to defense, we will encourage our teammates, and we will enjoy that game,” he said. “When we get that all the way right, basketball will take care of itself.”

Apogee Stadium, which opened its doors to the �rst Mean Green game in Sept. 2011, cost nearly $80 million. The eco-friendly stadium can hold more than 25,000 fans and has 19 suites and 750 club level seats.

Are you watching the first presidential debate?

Why or why not?

“If I had time I would. I just might have it on while doing my

homework. Watching is a great way of staying informed, and mainly because I can finally vote now.”

“Yes, because I think that the outcome is going to be based on what

happens. This is the only chance Romney has left to redeem himself.”

“No, I feel like I can’t really relate to the candidates.”

“No, I just don’t follow politics and don’t think it matters much. The responses are all generated from another source, and they

don’t end up yielding any of what they promise or say.”

Tonight across this great nation, grills will fire up, supermarket cases previ-ously stuffed with frozen hot wings will lie barren and stocks on Hidden Valley ranch dressing will close at a record high. Flat-screen televisions will fill our living rooms with the cool glow of cable news, beer cans will crack open with a deaf-ening report, and let’s face it – some of us will keep loaded guns within easy reach.

The first 2012 presidential debate has arrived, and both candidates are cram-ming harder than students at Willis Library the night before finals. That’s probably a smart move, considering that tonight’s broadcast will go out to more than 50 million viewers – and one

mistake or verbal error could sink either candidate’s public impression.

According to the New York Times, Republican Party nominee Mitt Romney plans to address his characterization as a stiff, humorless robot by preparing a series of “zingers” and snappy lines to bring out his human side. Meanwhile, Democratic Party staffers are working to bring shine to President Obama’s rarely used unscripted speaking style, which has been criticized as long-winded and overly academic in a political climate desperate for quick, cutting sound bites.

It’s clear that both men intend to establish their respective viewpoints and characters all over again tonight,

and if previous elections are any indica-tion, every perceived gaffe or rhetorical triumph will dominate the headlines for weeks to come. These upcoming debates also provide undecided voters with an opportunity to inform themselves on which candidate’s beliefs are most in line with their own – and winning their votes can determine the outcome of an election.

It might be hard to imagine a college student completely lacking a political opinion this late in the race, but polls don’t lie – these figures of myth certainly exist, and unless they’re motivated by an impressive debate performance from either side, they may decide not to vote at all.

If you consider yourself passionate about the presidential election, you might encourage your uninterested friends to get involved at least a little, even if motivating them proves to be an uphill battle. It’s important to remember that no matter where your vote eventually lands in November, it contributes to the demo-cratic process and ideal that constructed this nation from the ground up.

After all, you’re the only person who can silence yourself, but considering the entertainment value of this season’s “reality TV,” why would you? If nothing else, you’ll certainly miss out on the highs and lows of tonight’s uniquely American drama.

UNT’s new color is orange. Whether near a parking meter, apartment complex, the bus stop or walking to class, construction is everywhere.

There are currently 10 “miscella-neous construction projects” and nine “SMART [save/measure/achieve/reduce/track] energy projects” on campus. Construction projects show growth by improving walkways, land-scapes and the overall appearance of the campus, but students should be able to arrive to their classes with a positive attitude and a will to learn. Education is hindered when students have to trek through mud, water or detours to class because of construction.

Excluding transportation and other costs, the average resident paid $6,448 to attend UNT this semester. SMART projects have been in full swing since 2010 and are scheduled to continue until 2013. According to Construction Obstruction Report maps on the UNT Management and Construction Facilities website, August and September have had the most construction and SMART proj-ects when compared with June and July.

Why is UNT hosting more proj-ects now, while UNT’s booming 4,444 freshman class is making its first impres-sion, rather than during the university’s downtime summer months? Freshmen not only have to live on campus, they have to see UNT’s messy condition before the “greener” initiatives are finished. They may get their money’s worth by 2013, until then, they’ll have to put up with it.

Yes, UNT’s striving to become Tier One. These hindrances in front or along-side students add time to routes around campus, and students may show up tardy or distracted to class after being

drenched by “Irrigation in Progress” or walking in mud amongst the many broken sprinkler systems.

We can all agree that muddy, damp clothing is uncomfortable and distracting inside the classroom. When such events happen, irritability rears its ugly head and students just don’t want to be in class or – more importantly – on campus.

There are many other issues on campus worth complaining about: the confusing new bus routes, the still uncompleted pedestrian bridge connecting main campus to west campus. However, it shouldn’t be such a hassle to get around. UNT should help the student body get to class more easily and achieve higher academic excellence by providing clear pathways, clear routes and, consequently, drier clothing.

UNT can start by fixing broken sprin-kler systems immediately or by putting material such as stones or even plywood over muddy pathways. Schedule construction and SMART work during the weekend, and, perhaps, plan better in the future.

If you’d like to know what’s wrong with this country’s electoral process, all you have to do is get online.

Currently trending on the front page of Reddit is an article simply titled, “If women vote in November, Barack Obama will be re-elected. It’s actually that simple.” Regardless of what any news source will tell you, regardless of what any poll will tell you, this election does not come down to any one demographic simply not voting.

This election will be decided by the campaign of one man and how many voters he can pull away from the reigning political parties. This man is Gary Johnson, and he’s running under the flag of the Libertarian Party.

You might recognize Gary Johnson’s name. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican Party nomi-nation early on, but like most candi-dates with actual ideas, he failed to receive the support he needed and dropped out.

From there, he moved to the Libertarian Party, where he was warmly received. He has the poten-tial for true bipartisanship because he is fiscally conservative but socially liberal. He believes in lowering taxes and counters this with real solutions to cut spending at the federal level, something that most of the modern tea party leaders like Michelle Bachmann cannot do.

Gary Johnson remains an enigma to most voters, as it has been the “job” of almost every mainstream source to keep him out of the limelight. The proof is in his lack of appearance at the debates. The Commission on Presidential Debates controls who is

allowed to “perform” at the presiden-tial debates and has a rule regarding participation of third-party candi-dates.

The candidate must be polling at 15 percent in order to receive a spot on the bill. Now that’s just fine and dandy if you’re trying to keep a joke candidate like Vermin Supreme – an anarchist “performance artist” who cares more about good oral hygiene habits than economic affairs – out of the debates, but serious third-party candidates deserve a spot on the bill. For all the complaining we do about the two-party system, serious reform starts with recognizing that some-thing other than the two parties exists.

Gary Johnson deserves to be in the spotlight, the same as any other candidate, and allowed the same recognition in debates as Romney or Obama. Our failure to push for his publicity and candidacy will only lead to continued perpetuation of the norm.
