UNT is expecting this semes-ter’s freshman class to be the largest in university history, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management Troy Johnson said.
Prel iminary headcount numbers won’t be released until the 12th class day of the semester, but Johnson estimated that the freshman class had grown by about 10 percent. The expected addition of 380 new students brings the freshman class to about 4,000 students.
“I believe our academic programs, campus environment and affordable tuition play a vital role for this record-breaking class,” he said. “UNT has spent multiple years of efforts on targeting admission and finan-cial aid to attract more students.”
Although total enrollment at UNT has been down, Johnson said the number of freshmen enrolling at the university has
been on the rise since last year.According to the online UNT
Fact Book, last year’s freshman class of 3,600 students was the largest freshman class since 2005.
With this semester set to break the record, Johnson pointed to the multi-year freshman class growth as an indication that UNT is still an appealing destination for new students.
UNT implemented a hiring freeze Aug. 1, in part because of a decline in overall student enrollment.
However, UNT President V. Lane Rawlins said UNT has added about 300 classes to accommodate the increase in freshman enrollment.
“We’re constantly talking to key positions to assure that we can handle the needs of the freshman class,” Rawlins said. “They are our highest priority.”

“Ornamental Honor: The Art of Bryson Gappa,” the latest exhibit to open in the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum, is on display to pay homage to Texas troops killed in action.
The exhibit was unveiled Aug. 21 in an opening ceremony held at the museum. The ceremony was open to the public and was attended by relatives and friends of deceased soldiers.
“We had a pretty significant turnout,” said Joe Duncan, interim curator of exhibits at the museum. “A lot of family members came out to support the fallen soldiers.”
Denton County resident Bryson
Gappa started the Memorial Tree Project to pay tribute to Texas troops killed in Iraq. Gappa began her project by placing ornaments on an oak tree in her front yard.
Each ornament contains a picture of a fallen Texas soldier, his or her personal information, and his or her cause of death. Every fallen soldier from Texas is honored in the memorial, dating back to March 2003 when the war in Iraq began. Those orna-ments are now on display at the courthouse to honor Texas’ fallen soldiers.
Memorabil ia, including uniforms and medals donated by family members and fellow veterans, accompany the orna-ments at the exhibit.
“The Memorial Tree Project became much larger than my front-yard expression of loss,” Gappa said at the exhibit’s opening ceremony. “Along the way I got to know my 436 Texans.”
Relatives and friends of the fallen soldiers honored at the exhibit expressed their appre-ciation at the opening ceremony.
Louis Aguirre, whose son, Army Specialist Nathan Aguirre, was killed in Iraq, remembered his son’s sacrifice at the ceremony.
“He fought for his country,” Aguirre said in an interview with NBC 5. “He was willing to do it. He knew the sacrifices, and he went out and did it.”

Class introductions are coming to a close, and dead-lines for the first assign-ments of the semester are quickly approaching. Students making their way back to Willis Library to get some work done may notice a few changes and additions made during the summer break.
UNT’s on ly 24 -hou r computer lab in Wil l is Library partnered with UNT Libraries Technology and Computer Operations to create the 24-Hour Student Computing Center, which provides 200 computers for student use, compared to last semester’s 42.
“We kind of had a dupli-cation of services with the general access lab right next door, and we were both open 24 hours a day,” said Scott Jackson, director for library facilities and systems. “They were really space-restricted over there.”
T he for mer 24 -hou r general access lab now oper-ates as a “plug-in center,” where students have access to power sources for laptops and other electronics.
Jackson said the library system saw an opportu-nity to partner with the lab system and by doing so,
increased the square footage of the lab from 1,600 to 1,700 square feet, located near the front entrance at Willis.
Caroline Booth, director of com mu n icat ion s a nd marketing for UNT Libraries, said the library was prompted to incorporate the 24-hour general access lab into the Willis Library because of a lack of space.
She said the old lab’s setup felt crowded and generated long lines of students waiting to snag an open computer.
Ten more laptops have also been added to the inventory available for checkout in the library, bringing the total number of rentable laptops to
60. Willis has also added three SMART Boards - interactive, electronic whiteboards - and three 42-inch displays.
Strategic communications seniors Taylor Hooker and Kristi Sewell set up shop Monday afternoon to work on a group project in the plug-in center, but said they were struggling to adapt to the changes.
Hooker said the lab should have been left alone for the time being.
“The SMART Boards are a good idea, I just don’t think they were anything we needed right now,” Hooker said.

The City of Denton’s Minor Repair Program provides assistance to low-income homeowners who are unable to make essential repairs to their homes that, if left unat-tended, would leave the resi-dence in unlivable condition.
Gordon Meredith, residen-
tial construction specialist for the city of Denton, said the program spends about $100,000 on repairs annually, but that each year is unpre-dictable.
“You just never know [the demands],” Meredith said. “I can’t predict the weather.”
Most requests for repairs are provoked by weather-
driven factors, such as extreme temperatures or violent wind-storms.
A i r cond it ion i ng a nd heating units are the most requested repairs, followed by roofs and bathroom floors, Meredith said.
T h e C o m m u n i t y D e ve l o p m e n t Ad v i s o r y Committee funds the Minor
Repair program and as of Aug. 1, allotted $148,000 for the next year, Denton Housing Programs Manager Nancy Baker said.
Baker said the Minor Repair Program assisted 36 house-holds last year.
To receive aid, a house-hold’s income cannot exceed 65 percent of the Area Median
Income Limits, adjusted by family size. A homeowner can receive up to $5,000 toward essential repairs, which does not have to be paid back.
Baker said the average repair cost last year per house-hold was $3,057.
Repairs are only allotted when there is a health or safety hazard, or ongoing deteriora-
tion that would compromise the structure’s integrity, such as a leaky roof or the need to accommodate disabled resi-dents.
“It ’s a very important program, because there are quite a few people in the community that are below

Johnson said UNT has added more core classes to the College of Arts and Sciences, because most freshmen tend to focus on completing basic requirements.
CAS Academic Counselor Kristin Ringe said most of the new classes are in departments such as history, English, human resources, psychology, commu-nication studies, natural and life or physical sciences, and radio, television and film.
Pre-business freshman Miguel Martinez, pre-theater freshman Antonio Romero and emergency administration and planning freshman Jonathan Guerrero enrolled at UNT for different reasons: Martinez thought UNT was convenient, Romero’s high school counselor recommended UNT, and Guerrero chose the university because it has one of
the best EADP programs in the nation.
But after spending a couple of weeks at UNT, all three agreed that UNT has exceeded their expec-tations.
“We love the racial diversity and the campus environment,” Martinez said.
Rawlins said a large freshman class boded well for the univer-sity’s future.
“I’m very delighted with the growth of our freshmen class,” he said. “I hope the freshmen will maintain this momentum, carry on and become more involved with students and campus life.”
MemorialThe exhibit is the first to be
displayed at the museum since 2004. Duncan said it is the first of a series of exhibits to come.
“This is our first exhibit in eight years,” Duncan said.
Booth said the larger computer lab and plug-in center should be a valu-able resource for students this semester.
“The way I think the library’s administration views its interaction with students is that students are the reason why we’re here,” Booth said.
Librarythe 65 percent of the
area’s median income,” Community Development Administrator Barbara Ross said.
The program is not intended for home sellers, for remodeling purposes or for cosmetic repairs.
The Mi nor Repai r Program also refers people
to nonprofits in the area that offer assistance to households, such as Hearts for Home.
The city also offers a program for major repairs to homes in rare cases.

In the Wednesday, Sept. 5 issue of the North Texas Daily, the story “UNT to house first LGBT archive in South” incorrectly referred to the Dallas Resource Center. The center’s correct title is Resource Center Dallas. The story also incorrectly stated that the collection donated to UNT by Resource Center Dallas includes materials from the influential architect Phillip Johnson. The collection actually features materials from North Texas LGBT activist Phil Johnson, who is not related to the architect. The North Texas Daily regrets these errors.

“We were very pleased with the Memorial Tree Project. We are honored to have Mrs. Gappa’s art on display here.”
“Ornamental Honor” is sched-uled to remain on display at the Courthouse through the end of November. When the exhibit closes, Duncan says it will most likely be put on display at other locations throughout the state.
“The exhibit will be on display until Nov. 30,” Duncan said. “After that, it will probably travel to other precincts in Texas.”
The Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The museum’s exhibits are free and open to the public.

WASHINGTON(MCT) — A year after the dedication of the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pa., the project remains short of its financial goal and is the only one of the three major 9/11 tributes that isn’t fully funded.
When the memorial was dedicated on Sept. 10, 2011, it was $10 million short of completion. A May fundraiser in Washington and other dona-tions, from schoolchildren to corporations, have raised $5 million, allowing construction to proceed on the second phase.
But another $5 million is needed to finish one of the signature elements: a 93-foot tower with 40 chimes repre-senting the passengers and crew who died.
“It’s not easy raising this kind of money for this kind of memorial,” said Gordon Felt, who until January was presi-dent of Families of Flight 93. “My fear is the farther out we get from September 11, 2001, the more challenging it’s going to be.”
According to the National Park Foundation, the chari-table arm of the National Park Service, more than 1.8 million visitors have come to the site, about 80 miles east of Pittsburgh, where the hijacked United Airlines flight crashed 11 years ago. Since its dedica-tion last year, 350,000 people have visited the memorial, many of them part of school and tour groups.
Vice President Joe Biden, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta will visit the site this
Flight 93 Memorial short funds
week to commemorate the 11th anniversary of 9/11.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed that day, most of them at New York’s World Trade Center and at the Pentagon outside Washington. Of the four planes that the terror-ists hijacked, Flight 93 was the only one that failed to hit its intended target. While that goal remains unclear, the doomed aircraft was only 20 minutes’ flight time from the nation’s capital.
The passengers’ decision to take back the plane from the four hijackers likely saved many more lives.
“Unfortunately, a lot of times Flight 93 is relegated to only a sentence,” said King Laughlin, vice president for the Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign at the National Park Foundation.
“That doesn’t tell enough of the story.”
The first phase of the memorial, which included a white marble wall bearing the names of the victims and a long slate pathway bordering the crash site, was finished in time for the last year’s 10th anniversary.
With the additional funding, work on the second phase has begun. It includes a visitors center and a learning center for school and tour groups, as well as 40 groves of 40 trees in — like the chimes — a tribute to each victim.
“I think that we’ve made some wonderful progress this year,” said Felt, whose brother, Edward, was a Flight 93 passenger. “We’re not there yet.”
In July, the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded two
grants totaling about $3 million for infrastructure improvements, such as a pedestrian bridge over a wetland area. But the project has relied mostly on private contri-butions.
“The hope has always been that we would raise those funds on the private side,” said Patrick White, the current president of Families of Flight 93 and whose cousin, Louis “Joey” Nacke II, was part of the group of passengers who stormed the cockpit. “We know how lean the Department of Interior and National Park Service budgets are.”
He hopes the memorial will be complete by September 2016.
Most of the 110,000 donors are individuals, Laughlin said. Only 20 Fortune 500 companies have made major contributions.

Denton Community � eatre presents ‘Pygmalion’MELISSA WYLIEIntern
The Denton Community Theatre will present George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” starting Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Campus Theatre.
The play, which serves as the inspiration for the musical “My Fair Lady” and the film of the same name, will run through Sept. 23.
The period piece highlights women’s independence and importance in early 20th century England.
It follows the transformation of Eliza Doolittle, a young woman living on the edge of poverty in 1912 London.
On a rainy evening, phonetics professor Henry Higgins crosses paths with Doolittle and is appalled by her Cockney speech, which he finds hard to under-stand.
Intrigued, Higgins makes a bet with a fellow professor that he can transform Doolittle. Throughout weeks of grammar and etiquette lessons, Higgins gives Doolittle

the education she needs to open her mind and speak in a way so that her opinions can be under-stood and respected.
Di rec tor a nd Denton Community Theatre member Dennis Welch said he feels confi-dent that the play’s cast will draw
in attendees, despite the fact that it may not be as well-known as its movie counterpart.
“I have been so surprised that people don’t know what it [the play] is,” Welch said. “This cast is going to bring this show alive.”
The cast began practicing at the
beginning of August. They were required to attend practice four to five evenings a week.
The crew also put in long hours crafting the play’s stage design.
Walls, doors and other major set pieces are painted a stark white in Welch’s attempt to keep
the design “as simple as possible,” he said.
UNT English and theater senior Joey Gallagher designed the settings to reflect the charac-ters that inhabit them.

Student wins award for psychopathy research MARLENE GONZALEZSenior Sta� Writer
UNT doctoral student Jill E. Rogstad recently won a dissertation award from the American Academy of Forensic Psychology for her research on female psychopathy.
Rogstad submit ted a proposal for the project titled “Predictors of Female Psychopathy: Cluster B Traits and Alexithymia,” because female psychop-athy is often overlooked in research, she said.
She noticed there were more studies done on males since the 1800s. It wasn’t until 20 years ago that research on female psychopathy began to pick up, she said.
She started her research at Timberlawn Mental Health System, a psychi-atric hospital in Dallas, and interviewed 99 patients, all women, during a four and a half month period. Rogstad asked the women person-ality and behavior ques-tions as well as questions about emotions and aggres-sion toward other people.
“There is not always a reason behind the crimes that they commit,” Rogstad said. “People who are non-psychopaths, we typically think of heinous crimes as being senseless. They don’t think about what the other person may be thinking. They’re just thinking about how they’re going to get what they want in the moment.”
Rogstad said psychop-athy entails a combination of personality traits.

Nila Neik was raised in a low-income neighborhood and often went to school with nothing because her mother couldn’t afford necessary supplies.
As a result, after gradu-ating from UNT in 2007, Neik founded Operation Back to School, a nonprofit organiza-tion that provides children in need with backpacks full of school supplies.
Neik said she started with $100 and bought 10 backpacks. She then asked family and friends to match her contribu-tion. In the end, her first dona-
tion was 50 backpacks. Now in its sixth year,
Operation Back to School has provided 1,455 backpacks to students in the North Texas region.
“I volunteered with the Boys and Girls Club and wanted to give back to them,” Neik said. “When I realized how far a buck could go, I wanted to spread the word and make as big a difference for as many kids as possible and allow them to reach their highest potential.”
The organization focuses on schools where the majority of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, or are recent
U.S. immigrants. The Newcomer Center of
Arlington provides education to children who have recently arrived in the U.S. from more than 35 countries.
“The students are very happy, and the parents [are] relieved,” Newcomer Center secretary Madeline Villarreal said. “Supplies help them be ready and make them feel like they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing. We have kids who get emotional, and it’s very rewarding for them.”
While her day jobs include work i ng for a n i nven-tory sourcing company and
co-owning a real estate busi-ness, Neik still takes time to stuff backpacks once a day.
She also travels to the centers and schools she donates to in order to see students walk the halls with pride.
“Some of these kids come to school with nothing,” Neik said. “It’s really amazing to see how grateful they are to receive these backpacks. Most of these kids are aware of their situation and just get hand-me-downs.”
In order to minimize costs, Neik orders backpacks from Bags in Bulk, which does not charge tax and provides free shipping. She then orders
school supplies from various vendors.
She also partners with large corporations such as Starbucks and Chick-fil-A to sponsor local back-to-school drives.
“We work solely with nonprofits and charit ies,” Bags in Bulk employee Joe Mendoza said. “We do try to avoid retailers just looking for a cheaper price, because these bags are for charities.”
Neik plans to expand outside of Texas and the United States, hoping to improve the lives of students overseas to receive a better education.
“All these kids deserve to
have something to call their own,” Neik said. “And here, you can see the kids in need, but you can’t compare that to kids who have nothing.”
“T hey’re usua l ly ver y emotionally shallow so they don’t feel empathy, nor a lot of remorse,” she said. “They’re also kind of charming, they can fake those emotions and function well in society. They don’t feel bad about the things that they do.”
Ps yc h olo g y p r o f e s s o r Richard Rogers said he was impressed by Rogstad’s hard work and the details she put into her research.
“There is a large variety of male offender cases that you’d think would apply to females, but it’s not the same case in females,” Rogers said. “Her work is original in that she’s looking at this in female psychopaths.”
April Wiechmann, professor of psychiatry and behavioral health at UNT Health Science Center, said it is very difficult to spot who is suffering from this disorder.
She said body weight could be one of the reasons psychop-athy is different in females and males.
“Men tend to be more phys-ical and straightforward,” Wiechmann said. “Whereas women have to make up for their lack of physical power, so they have to be more manipu-lative and sneaky.”
When Rogstad received her dissertation award of $1,500 (the maximum per applicant) in June, most of it went to the
patients she interviewed. “I compensated people for
talking to me,” she said. “I mean, they were two-hour interviews, so I gave them some of the money to keep them engaged and recruit them to keep talking to me.”
Rog s t ad i s c u r r e nt ly completing a one-year clinical placement at the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Mo. She will graduate next August.
Afterward, she would like to do forensic evaluations for courts and continue doing research in this area.
“I really like it,” she said. “It takes a large amount of vigilance to work in an envi-ronment like that. I’ve always been quite inquisitive. I would always be the kid who would ask their parents a thousand questions.”
“They’re just thinking about how they’re going to get what
they want in the moment.”-Jill E. Rogstad, UNT doctoral student
said. “He doesn’t connect with people and their feelings. He gives you a stuffy, boarded-up feeling. I want to create a space that speaks that.”
Though “Pygmalion” has the look and feel of a bygone era, the play’s core message is timeless, TWU performance senior and director Marygail Lakner said.
Doolittle learns how to be a freethinking woman in a time of stifling social standards, Lakner said.
She said the audience will be able to grasp the underlying theme and relate it to the present.
“Shaw was a feminist, and with a lot of the women’s issues going on in the political scene at this time, [the play] is very applicable,” Lakner said. “Letting women come into their own, not only socially but also in the work-place, is in the forefront of a lot of women’s minds.”
Tickets for the play are $10 for students and children, $20 for adults and $18 for seniors. For more information visit campus-theatre.com.
“It’s really amazing to see
how grateful they are to receieve
these backpacks.”-Nila Neik

Volleyball splits tournamentBRETT MEDEIROSSta� Writer
In their second home tour-nament of the season, the Mean Green volleyball team (9-4) was tested more than it has been all season during the Mean Green Volleyball Classic this weekend.
UNT split the four matches over the weekend, ending its chance to win three consecutive tourna-ments after winning the North Texas Invitational and the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis tournament earlier this year.Friday
UNT began the tournament on a high note with a three-set victory against the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (25-18, 25-23, 25-21).
The win set the record for best 10-game start in the program’s
history (8-2), besting the previous record held by the 2010 Sun Belt Championship team (7-3).
Down 19-12, Windham’s hitting and blocking sparked a 13-4 Mean Green run to close out the set.
In Friday’s second match, UNT came up against an Eastern Michigan team it has never faced in school history.
Eastern Michigan and UNT traded off victories in the first four sets, winning two each.
In the fifth and final set, the Mean Green needed just one point to put the opposing Eagles away, but a 4-1 run by Eastern Michigan ended the match and gave UNT its first home loss of the season.
“That’s the great thing about this tournament,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “Win or loss, every team is very capable [of winning].”

On Saturday, the Mean Green rebounded from an opening loss to No. 3 Louisiana State University to down the Texas Southern Tigers 34-7, winning its first season home opener since 2006.
“It was really big,” junior linebacker Zachary Orr said. “[Winning the home opener] is another milestone that we talk about building this program into a championship program, so it was really big for us.”
UNT’s defense stifled the Tigers (1-1) from the beginning of the game by only allowing 16 yards of total offense at the half, while snagging three interceptions along with one fumble recovery by the end of the game.
“We got turnovers, we got takeaways, [and we] could’ve had two or three more, but overall we improved as a defense tonight,” head coach Dan McCarney said. “We’ll build on that and know that we’re going to really have to continue our improvement.”
The Mean Green (1-1) run defense only allowed 25 yards rushing on 31 attempts, the lowest amount any UNT defense has given up since 1992.
Though the Mean Green were
dominant on defense, the offense struggled at times and failed to get going early, only accumu-lating a 7-0 lead by the end of the first quarter.
With seven minutes left in the second quarter, junior running back Brandin Byrd rushed for his second touchdown of the game, extending the lead to 17-0, where
it would stay at the half.Junior kicker Zach Olen
notched his second field goal in the third quarter before TSU senior quarterback Dantavious
Parker connected with TSU junior wide receiver Daniel McKayhan for a 59-yard touchdown, the first and only Tiger score of the game.
The lack of Mean Green offense
early on allowed TSU to hang in the game through the third quarter, when the UNT crowd gathered behind the team to help the Mean Green hold off the Tigers.
“It always [changes the game] when you make big plays on defense,” junior defensive end Aaron Bellazin said. “It gets the crowd into the game and gives the offense momentum to score.”
In the fourth quarter, the Mean Green blew it open with two inter-ceptions, a fumble recovery and touchdown runs by senior Jeremy Brown and redshirt freshman Antoinne Jimmerson, giving all three running backs touchdowns in the game.
Though Byrd and Jimmerson accumulated more than 100 rushing yards each on the day, the Mean Green was not comfort-able with its execution on offense.
“We had some big plays, we had some plays where we left [some yards] out there on the field, so we’ve got to come back and regroup this week,” Byrd said. “Our defense played really well, but I feel like offensively we’ve got a lot more we can give.”
The Mean Green will return to practice this week to focus on improvement as it prepares to take on No. 15 Kansas State this weekend.

The Mean Green women’s soccer team played two over-time games this weekend, going to double and single overtime against Baylor and Long Beach State.
Friday’s home game against Baylor came to a draw after 110 minutes of play. The Baylor game was standing room only, as 1,093 fans filled the 1,000-seat Mean Green Soccer Complex.
The Sunday afternoon matinee in College Station against No. 16 Long Beach State ended as a 3-2 overtime loss for the Mean Green, its first loss of the season.Friday
UNT’s 0-0 draw against Baylor was a defensive clash. While Baylor outshot the Mean Green 16-6, it couldn’t break through the Mean Green’s defense.
“Two overtimes is a beating on your body,” junior defender Tori Adamé said. “We always have a dogfight with them.”
Baylor threatened to score several times, including in the final seconds of the second
overtime. Sophomore goal-keeper Jackie Kerestine recorded her fourth shutout of the season with five saves, totaling 28 saves this season. Head coach John Headlund said tying Baylor kept the two-year home undefeated streak going.
“We left the locker room saying, ‘Hey, let’s stay undefeated’,”
Headlund said. “We never like to lose at home. We didn’t get beat tonight.”
Hedlund said it was “quality result” for UNT.
“They are a quality team on bubble of a top-25 ranking,” he said. Sunday
The Mean Green allowed two goals in the first 23 minutes of Sunday’s match against the Long Beach State 49ers.
North Texas rallied, scoring two goals - one by junior defender Kelsey Hodges and the other by freshman midfielder Karla Pineda - to send the game into overtime.
Seven minutes into extra time, Long Beach State senior forward Nadia Link completed her hat-trick, three goals in one game, ending sudden-death overtime.
“We really put together our best half of the year,” LBSU head coach Mauricio Ingrassia said. “Credit to North Texas for the way they kept fighting and got back into the game.”
In the Mean Green loss, it was the first time in 357 days and 19 games its defense has given up more than one goal.
North Texas will face No. 3 Oklahoma State (6-0-0) this Friday in Stillwater, Okla., at 7 p.m.

Last year the Mean Green took part in the Islander Classic, where it defeated the host team, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christie Islanders, in five sets.
Invited to Denton to take part in UNT’s tournament, the Islanders exacted its revenge by sweeping the Mean Green 3-0.
“These games show we still have a lot to work on, like our communication,” redshirt freshman outside hitter Analisse Shannon said. “There are still some balls where we are running into each other.”
In the final match of the tour-nament, UNT faced the Hofstra University Pride for the first time in the program’s history.
Highlighted by a second set containing a 14-0 run by the Mean Green, UNT took over the match and swept the Pride 3-0.
Windham helped fuel UNT in the second set with four kills, zero attacking errors and three blocks during the run.
“This weekend really started off good and dipped for a little bit, but you know what, that’s sports,” Windham said. “That’s why people love sports, for those up-and-down moments, and we definitely gave you guys [fans] a show.”

Do you work to sup-port yourself while studying at UNT?
“Yes. I have to support myself. I have to have enough money
to pay for rent, food, and a little bit of leisure. I’m homeless right
now. I’m living in my car.
“Yes, because I have to pay for everything myself and it’s good
to be responsible.”
“No. I’m going to school full time and I want to have a better
career.”
“Not during the year. During the summer I’m a camp
counselor. I plan on having a job next semester.”
This time last year, as the 10th anni-versary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center approached, the UNT campus was transformed into a living memorial. Tribute lights repre-senting the twin towers destroyed in the attacks were beamed into the sky on the Library Mall for a week, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates spoke to students about national security, and a candlelight vigil ceremony was held in memory of those who died both in the attacks and during the war that followed.
The event was a tasteful recognition of sacrifice and the need to move forward after such a great tragedy, but it seems that the university and its students have
taken the second theme a bit too literally. It’s been a year since this week of
remembrance, and already we face a deafening silence. A quick glance at the university’s official calendar reveals exactly zero commemorative events honoring the 11th anniversary of the attacks.
Admittedly, there are several memo-rials taking place around the Dallas area today, but the University of North Texas seems blissfully unaware in contrast.
It’s obvious that the 10th anniversary is an important commemorative date, but does this really mean we should ignore the 11th? How about the 12th? Are we supposed to only commemorate
those lost in this horrific tragedy every ten years?
You would be lucky to find an indi-vidual willing to defend the notion that a small yearly remembrance of this life-changing event is too much to ask of either the university or its student body, many of whom still remember these attacks firsthand.
It’s certainly true that we can reflect on the lives lost through personal introspec-tion, but it is far more powerful to gather together, particularly when we commem-orate the great triumphs of humanity in the face of this disaster.
Some argue that by remembering this tragedy every year, we are putting
too much power in the hands of those who brought about these attacks in the first place.
However, it is not the terror and violence that took place eleven years ago that we commemorate but instead the memory of the individuals who refused to panic or surrender even in the face of fear – and death.
The selfless New Yorkers who sacri-ficed their safety – and for some their lives – to lead others out of the crippled towers and towards rescue are a standing refu-tation to those who doubt the power of basic human altruism, and ignoring their sacrifices only a year after recognizing them so fully is simply unacceptable.
Last fall, there was some protest towards allowing same-sex couples to compete for positions in the UNT Homecoming Court. While I approve of opening up the compe-tition to more people, the methods used by those advocating this cause were highly questionable in legal terms. The advocacy groups have the right idea - inclusion of everyone is appropriate in the diverse commu-nity of UNT - but they were going about it in the worst possible way.
During a Student Government Association meeting I attended, a group called Queer Liberaction Denton (QLD) threatened a lawsuit against UNT if it doesn’t get its way. They were going to file suit even if they lost. Effectively, they were using bullying tactics to get what they wanted. Going forward with a referendum like that violates the Texas Constitution, which requires that no election may be affected by “power, bribery, tumult or other improper practice.” Another law this ballot violates is that a refer-endum should have only two choices: “For” and “Against” a given proposition. The proposal instead had two “For” options and no way to vote “Against” either of them. In short, QLD wanted the school to break the law.
State law also holds that elec-tions for state constitutional amend-ments must be announced at least 50 days before the proposed elec-tion. In contrast, the proposed election would have violated that principle by announcing the vote less than a month after approval by the SGA, which obviously presents a problem. Further still, according to former Texas Secretary of State George Bayoud, UNT doesn’t even
have the ability to have a student referendum vote.
These provisions are all relevant because UNT is a state creation, existing by charter from the state government and recognized in the state constitution. “Creatures of the state” are subject to the same limitations as the state. Effectively, when the state can’t do something, the University and the SGA can’t do it either. The problems just keep piling up. QLD already broke the law and wants the SGA and UNT to join them in that effort.
All in all, the procedure behind the proposed reforms seemed to violate state constitutional and stat-utory provisions as well as long-standing case law from the Supreme Court of the United States. If this issue comes up again, I recommend the SGA retain legal counsel to guide them before proceeding. I want this measure to pass and will vote for it on a ballot, but it should be able to pass legal muster before going to the student body.

Apparently, students are now using cell phones and other devices to text answers to one another or look them up online during tests. They are also digi-tally scanning answers onto the labels of their soft drinks and buying other helpful devices at spycheatstuff.com.
These sorts of practices are widely condemned as cheating. Indeed, they are seen as part of a technological arms race with lazy students using their media savvy to skirt the rules and avoid the mental effort of memorizing test answers. But we don’t consider the use of media technologies in the workplace to be cheating. In fact, it is expected as part of being good at your job.
Imagine a doctor or a journalist punished for using their smart phone to double-check some information. Maybe the problem is not with students but with our education system.
The human used to be that creature whose brain occupies the roughly 1,600 cubic centimeters inside of the skull. Call that humanity 1.0. But now we have humanity 2.0. Cognition extends beyond the borders of the skull. Humans are nebulous and dispersed: avatars, Facebook profiles, YouTube accounts and Google docs. These cloud selves have the entire history of human knowl-edge available to them instantaneously and ubiquitously. Soon we will be wearing the Internet, and then it will be implanted in our bodies.
We are building a world for humans 2.0 while our education system is still training humans 1.0. The brain doesn’t obey the boundaries of the skull, so why do students need to cram knowledge into their heads?
All they need in their local wetware are the instructions for accessing the extended mind. This is not cheating, it is simply the reality of being plugged into the hive mind. Indeed, why waste
valuable mental space on information stored in the hive?
This is the age of augmented cogni-tion. When teachers ask a student to put away her cell phone or iPad before the exam is handed out, it’s like asking her to put away her occipital lobe or her frontal cortex.
If being educated means regurgi-tating stock answers on standardized tests, then we should not classify media use as cheating. We should not displace frustration at students when it is right-fully pointed at the institution that equates skillfully jumping through hoops with intelligence.
If the goal of education is simply to get through the maze, then it does not matter how one gets there. Or, it only matters that one does it most efficiently, and accessing the hive is the most effi-cient route. The ultimate problem is not with students but our assessment regime that values “being right” over “being intelligent.” This is because it is far easier to count “right” answers than it is to judge intelligent character. So maybe it is the teachers who are the lazy ones.
