Lauren Smith votes with other students to make an amendment to the Union bill during the Student Government Association meeting Wednesday. The amend-ment would move the increase in the Union fee to 2014.

Architects Je� rey Stebar and Ron Stelmarski show an artist rendering of the new Union to students Wednesday in the Silver Eagle Suite. Stebar said the concept designs are only in the beginning stages.

Union fee proposal goes to student vote

Firm discusses Union design NICOLE BALDERASSenior Staff Writer

Representatives from the architect firm Perkins+Will spoke with about 30 students and staff Wednesday afternoon in the University Union’s Silver Eagle Suite, going over color renderings for the proposed Union renovations.

The meeting occurred prior to the UNT Student Government Association’s evening meeting, during which it voted in favor of sending the proposed changes to a student vote April 2-6.

The presentation included a digitized video illustrating the transformation from the current Union, as well as a chance for attendees to ask questions.

“You won’t recognize the Union as the same building, but the bones will be the same,” said Jeffrey Stebar, student life

expert for Perkins+Will. “I think what you’ll see is the Union will accept more of the campus’s diversity than it does now.”

The presentation focused mainly on the design aspects of the building renovations and spent little time on the cost of the project, which left some attendees eager for more specific information.

“What’s available on the Master Plan website is not enough information,” said Denise Philpot, an applied technology and performance improvement doctoral student. “I support wholeheartedly their idea of a new and improved Union. I’d like to see a side-by-side comparison. Give me the past floor plan and mark it up to show what’s different.”

Cell phone application measures vitals in seconds

A smartphone app developed by UNT researchers allows the user to measure blood pressure. A sensor attached to the phone is applied to the user’s chest, and the heartbeat is shown on the screen.

Smartphone applications offer an array of services, from finding a nearby restaurant to slicing fruit as a cartoon ninja. Now, smartphones will have the ability to measure blood pressure in less than 10 seconds through a new app developed by UNT researchers.

The technology was devel-ope d i n U N T’s Net work Security Laborator y under labor ator y d i rec tor Ra m Dantu, a computer science and engineering professor. The application could provide valuable information in life-threatening situations and 9-1-1 emergency calls, Dantu said.

“W hen someone is unre-sponsive, people panic and they don’t know what to do,” Dantu said. “This technology will collect information and help a person communicate with a dispatcher.”

F o r t y - s i x p e r c e n t o f American adults own a smart-phone, an 11 percent increase from 2011, according to a 2012 Pew Research Center study.

Computer science graduate student Srikanth Jonnada to create the technolog y that a l lows users to connect a sensor attached to a smart-phone to measu re hea r t-beats.

“We wanted to come up with a new idea to measure vitals that could be implemented in regularly used devices,” Jonnada said. “We thought, ‘Why not phones?’”

The app works by posi-

t ioning the sensor on the chest, and the phone displays a heartbeat that gets stronger as it is positioned in different spots. The sensor attaches to a small microphone connected to the phone to magnify the heartbeat.

Once the sensor is applied to the chest, users place a finger over the phone’s LED sensor for a more accurate reading, according to Shanti

Thiyagaraja, a computer science and engineering pre-doctoral s t u d e n t who work s with smart-p h o n e s i n the Network Security Laboratory.

T h e U N T S t u d e n t G over n ment A ssoc iat ion voted 32-3 Wednesday to approve a bill for a referendum concerning the building of a new University Union for students to vote on April 2-6.

The proposed project would cost about $120 million. If

approved by t he student body, the Union student fee, which is currently $51, would increase by as much as $115 per semester beginning in fall 2014.

“We tried to make a fair compromise between being f i sc a l ly respon sible a nd having some money that could go to the Union,” said Senator

Adam Hasley, pre-radio, tele-vision and film sophomore and a co-author of the bill. “Now the majority of students paying for the Union [when the fee starts in 2014] will actually be able to use the facility.”

The Union plans call for the destruction of the current Union and Stovall and Scoular

halls and construction of a larger Union connected to the Eagle Student Services Building. The project has an expected completion date of summer 2015.

On a sogg y evening, members of the UNT Painting and Drawing Association eye what appears to be a completed painting. They’re

only a few finishing touches away from creating the back-drop that will hang behind Main Stage 1 of this year’s 35 Denton, the four-day music festival kicking off tonight in downtown Denton.

This year will be the first that visual artists from the university will be involved in the project on such a large scale.

Fashion design junior Ava Sharbaf expressed frustration about the lack of a long-term plan for her department, which is currently located in Scoular Hall. Academic departments and student services housed in each building, including fashion design and dance, would be moved to temporary buildings.

“There are over 1,500 antique

A p h y s i c a l m o d e l of the building has yet to be completed because the design is still in its concept phase.

The proposed Union design mimics that of the neigh-boring Hurley Administration Bu i ld i ng , w it h h i nt s of G r e g or i a n a r c h it e c t u r e .

Readings a re 95 to 100 percent as accurate as a conventional blood pressure machine, Jonnada said.

“We’ve come up with an entirely new way to measure how blood f lows through the body,” Dantu said.

fashion pieces that could be damaged with all the move-ment,” Sharbaf said to SGA. “President Rawlins said we were a priority department, but sometimes I think UNT is all talk.”

If the fee increase passes the student-wide vote, the university would avoid paying $46.9 million in interest fees during the 30-year repayment schedule, according to Andrew Harris, UNT vice president for finance and administration.

Tw o a r c h it e c t s f r om Perkins+Will presented new

3-D computer models repre-senting their plans for the new Union.

“We wanted [the new Union] to have echoes of the past and make sure we’re respectful to Hurley [Administration Building] and the Georgian style,” said Ron Stelmarski, Perkins+Will’s Dallas design director.

The new Union would create a pavilion in the space between it and the Hurley Administration Building. A new 500-seat Lyceum would be located on the south side,

with dining options, a book-store with a dedicated entrance and administration offices to the north.

An amendment to push the fee to start in fall 2015, proposed by Senator Marco Torres, a criminal justice soph-omore, failed to pass.

“I didn’t vote for the motion because t he majorit y of students I’ve talked to didn’t want to pay the fee until the building is opened,” Torres said. “Regardless of what I wanted, I had to vote based on what I was told by the students.”

The proposed f loor plan showed amenit ies such a s a la rger book store, increased student orga-nization space and a two-story Syndicate,

A fourth f loor atrium space was proposed as well as the possibility of a green roof for the building.

“We’re really at the tip of the iceberg here,” said Ron Stelmarski, Dallas design director for Perkins+Will.

Dantu has f i led for a patent for the application and hopes to take the appli-cation to the market, and more work is being done to create better medical applicat ions for smart-phones, Jonnada said.

“Research is going on in the Network Security Lab for more projects,” Jonnada said. “Hopefully we’ll come up with more exciting apps for all people.”

PHOTO BYGARY REYES/SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS/MCTApple senior vice president Phil Schiller speaks during the introduction of the iPad 3 during a special event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California, on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Apple releases its third-generation iPad just 25 months after starting the tablet-computing revolution.

(MCT) SAN JOSE, Calif. – Apple unveiled the third generation of its popular iPad tablet computer Wednesday, with a host of upgraded features including 4G, or LTE, compatibility, a high-resolution display and a quad-core processor far superior to competitors.

In an event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Apple CEO Tim Cook and other executives announced the anticipated new gadget, along with two other offerings: a universal iPhoto app and a new Apple TV set-top box.

The star of the show, however, was the new iPad, which was not christened with an official

name, as executives alternately referred to it as the third-gener-ation iPad and the new iPad.

The new iPad will start at $499 and cost up to $829 for the highest-end version and will be available for purchase in the United States on March 16. The iPad 2’s starting price will drop from $499 to $399.

“When we set out to create the iPad, we set out to create a new category, the best device for doing the things you do most often, like browsing the web and checking email. It was a tall order, but iPad users tell us that’s exactly what we’ve done,” Cook said in the introduction to the new tablet.

Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior

vice president of worldwide marketing, ran through the upgraded components of the new iPad, starting with a retina display, which was first intro-duced in the Cupertino, Calif., company’s iPhone 4 smart-phone.

“Until you see it, you can’t understand how amazing it is,” Schiller said.

The display has a resolution of 2038x1536 pixels, giving it more than 3.1 million pixels, the most in history, Schiller said.

The new iPad also has upgraded cameras with better sensors, a hybrid filter with backside illumination and the ability to shoot high-definition video. The new cameras will

provide “incredible detail and sharpness and auto face detec-tion,” Schiller said.

The fourth feature of the new iPad is voice dictation, which Schiller demonstrated to large rounds of applause from the audience. The new iPad will not include the voice-recognition system known as Siri, which has been popular on Apple newest iPhone iteration, the 4S.

The last feature Apple detailed on the new iPad is perhaps the most desired from its hard-core fans: the ability to connect to the newest generation of mobile networks, known as long-term evolution, or LTE. The device can also be used as a mobile 4G hotspot, Schiller said.

Apple unveils updated iPad

WASHINGTON (AP) — Marines will lead the U.S. troop draw-dow n in Afghanistan this year, reducing by about half their numbers in the key prov-ince of Helmand as Afghans move fully into the combat lead there, a top U.S. general said Wednesday.

Helmand, which has seen some of the fiercest American and allied fighting over the past two years, is transitioning to Afghan control faster than most other Taliban-contested areas of the country. Yet to be seen is whether the Afghans will manage to stand on their own as the Americans thin out.

Maj. Gen. John Toolan, who has commanded t he U.S. Marine contingent in Helmand for the past year, told The Associated Press in

a phone interview from his Ca mp Leat herneck head-qua r ters in sout hwestern Afghanistan that the number of Marines is likely to shrink by 8,000-10,000 f rom t he current total of 17,500 by the end of September. That is the target date for the overall U.S. force in Afghanistan to drop to 68,000 from the current 90,000.

To ol a n i s c omple t i n g his Afghan assignment on Monday, to be succeeded by Maj. Gen. Charles Gurganus. He asserted that the Taliban have been greatly weakened in what has long been consid-ered their heartland.

To o l a n s a i d t h e t o p commander of U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, Marine Gen. John Allen, has not yet made final decisions on the

troop drawdown. His plan is expected to be final before President Ba rack Oba ma meets with other NATO heads of government at a summit meeting in Chicago in May.

The broad aim, established at NATO’s November 2010 summit, is to have Afghan forces fully responsible for security by the end of 2014, with the residual U.S. and NATO military role yet to be fully defined. Between now and then, allied forces are shifting from combat into a “train-and-advise” mission.

As the Marines’ overa l l presence shrinks this year, the number of such teams will drop to about 30, he said. That will be enough to assist “a good portion” of — but not all — Afghan security units, he said.

Stephen Biddle, a defense a n a l y s t at t he C ou nc i l on Foreign Relat ions and a n occa siona l v isitor to Afghanistan, said he sees reason to worr y that U.S. forces wil l be handing off securit y responsibi l it y to Afghans this year even as the U.S. troop numbers shrink. The Taliban are likely to see this transition as an oppor-tune time to launch “another wave of counterattacks” that will test the Afghans, Biddle said.

“Lots of people view tran-sition to Afghan security lead as an experiment, and there is a fair amount of uncertainty in a variety of corners about how well or badly it’s going to go,” he said. “I think it’s very, very likely that the Taliban will try to find out.”

UNT piano professor a n d w o r l d - r e n o w n e d pianist Joseph Banowetz began playing piano when he was seven and has spent almost 70 years teaching, performing, recording and helping shed light on lost composers from the past.

“It’s a way of expressing myself, my thoughts and e m ot i o n s ,” B a n o w e t z said.

He said he has never wanted to be any t hing other than a pianist.

“It’s never been a nine-to-f ive job,” Ba nowet z said.

In 2010, he received his second Grammy nomina-tion for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra for recording Pau l K let z k i’s “P i a no Concerto in D Minor, Op. 22.”

K let z k i’s mu sic w a s once considered lost but was brought back to life with help from UNT’s Lost Composers Project, which aims to recover the music of composers whose works almost disappeared during the Holocaust.

Banowetz is currently work ing on a piece by Karl Weigl, who was also a victim of the Holocaust, which will be released in June.

“Naturally, it is person-ally moving to record works by these two composers who were so crippled by the Nazi era,” Banowetz said.

Piano professor passes legacy on to students

Amy Simon’s passion for service runs deep.

As an undergraduate she found her calling working at a Michigan homeless shelter, inspiring her to spend several years with AmeriCorps, a federal program for national and community service, as well as the Congressional Hunger Center.

That calling eventually led her to UNT, and Simon is now the director of the universi-ty’s Center for Leadership and Service, an office that empowers students to become engaged leaders in the global commu-nity.

Formerly known as the Volunteer Center, the CLS opened two and a half years ago when Simon joined the UNT community.

“It’s been a long time since that homeless shelter,” Simon said. “I think that experience taught me the meaning of service and really about the relationships and the fact that anybody could walk through

composers was one of the most important things he has done.

“Coupled with this was having the opportunity to present on a major interna-tional label, Naxos, the first recordings of these pieces,” he said. “This of course places a heavy responsibility on one, and I greatly felt this.”

Banowetz’s other Grammy nomination was in 2007 for

his work on “Balakirev and Russian Folksong.”

UNT music professor Steven Harlos, chair of keyboard st ud ie s, s a id he w a sn’t su r pr i sed at Ba nowet z’s success.

“He’s a brilliant pianist,” Harlos said. “He attracts the top students because of his reputation.”

Banowetz has been teaching at UNT since 1973 and plans to continue teaching and playing piano “until he dies,” he said.

“There are very talented students at UNT,” Banowetz said. “I enjoy passing on a legacy.”

P i a n o p e r f o r m a n c e master’s student A rsentiy Kharitonov, who has studied with Banowetz for four years, looks at him as not only a

t e a c h e r but a lso a mentor.

“He knows how to help his students b e c o m e better piano p l a y e r s , ” K h a r itonov said. “He has an individual approach to each of h is students.”

Banowetz has performed and served on major piano juries on f ive continents, including performances in India, South Africa, Europe and Hong Kong, he said.

“He t ravels f requent ly throughout the world, giving concer ts a nd record i ng,” Harlos said. “His recordings are always well-received and very well-regarded.”

During his time traveling a nd teach i ng , Ba nowet z has recorded more than 30 records for the Naxos, Marco Polo, Warner Brothers and Altarus labels.

“Recording is extremely ser ious, cha l leng i ng a nd e m o t i o n a l l y m o v i n g ,” Banowetz said.

Ba nowet z ha s w r it ten several books, including “The Pianist’s Guide to Pedaling,” which has been translated into six different languages, he said.

Ha rlos sa id Ba nowet z’s s o u n d , t e c h n i q u e a n d musical insight is what makes him stand out from other pianists.

“Honest ly, I don’t know how he keeps up with his schedule,” Harlos said. “With concerts, teaching, judging and writing, he’s just ver y prolific.”

“I volunteered to make some cinemagraphs for some of the bigger artists at 35 Denton,” painting and drawing junior Alice Won said. “I told them I’m a part of PDA, and they asked us to do the backdrops.”

A total of three backdrops are being painted for the confer-ence: two bearing this year’s 35 Denton logo and a third featuring a hipster Godzilla.

The crew steps over land-mines of wet paint as they search for tiny imperfections in the backdrop, mostly in the form of dead bugs which have now become part of the painting.

“This whole thing has been called Twister,” painting and drawing senior Sloane Solley said.

Used to painting mainly on canvas, the group had to adapt to the vinyl material the back-drop is made out of. And because regular paint won’t adhere prop-erly, spray paint was sprayed into containers and then quickly used before it could dry.

“You know how Saran wrap sticks to itself,” painting and drawing junior Caroline Irvin said. “This is a giant example of that.”

The third painting, which will be featured on Main Stage 2, owes more to the creative efforts of the group led by Kevin Ryan.

“Essentially it’s all about Denton, so I was trying to cater to the crowd,” Ryan said. “Everyone has the Denton beard, but I also think it’s funny that it’s a big hipster Godzilla engorged on the power of music and good times. That was kind of the idea behind it.”

those doors and it was home. They could be accepted and they could get connected, and that just really spoke to me.”

The CLS has grown signifi-cantly since its opening, said Kirsten Bishop, leadership coor-dinator for CLS.

While the volunteer center helped connect students to service opportunities, the CLS allows students to develop and champion these causes, Bishop said.

“I think the difference between taking our office from a volunteer center to really and truly a center for leadership and service is we are able to engage students in a different way,” she said. “We’re not just asking students to fulfill a service requirement, but we’re teaching them how to be servant leaders. We’re teaching them how to make social change happen on campus and in the commu-nity.”

The idea for the Big Event, a day of service attended by about 2,000 students last year, came from students, Bishop said.

The CLS sponsors several

other events throughout the year, including CANstruction, which takes place Friday. More than 30 organizations will build structures with cans of food that will then be donated to the Denton Food Center.

“I think as educated people it’s our responsibility to give back to the community,” said Sarah Amberson, higher educa-tion master’s student and grad-uate assistant for the CLS. “We provide connections for students who want to give back to the community, connections for students who want to meet other leaders so that they can really have a role at UNT.”

The center helps the univer-sity engage the surrounding community, one of the points laid out in UNT’s four bold goals, Simon said.

“I think part of our job is to be citizens and build commu-nity,” Simon said. “We provide that avenue for students to be able to do that.”

“The shape of Loop 288 encompasses most of Denton and inside the roads that break it up paint a pretty neat picture of Denton,” Ryan said. “It made sense to paint a picture of the town in the most literal sense possible.”

In addition to the backdrops

featured on the main stages, the Painting and Drawing Association will have a booth at 35 Denton, offering face-painting to festival goers.

“One thing that’s kind of funny is Doug Martsch, from one of my favorite bands, Built to Spill, kind of looks like that dinosaur,” Ryan said. “It’s funny to think that he is going to be playing in front of this dinosaur that vaguely resembles him.”

“...it’s a big hipster Godzilla engorged on the power of music and good times.”

Dance students perform “The Itch,” choreographed by dance senior Anna Olvera, at a rehearsal for the New Choreogra-phers Concert.

BY TARYN WALKERIntern

Months of hard work all come down to one night.

Senior dance students will display their original works on Friday for the first time at the New Choreographers Concert. The concert will start at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre in the Radio, Television, Film and Performing Arts Building.

General admission is $5 and tickets can be purchased at the box office, over the phone, at the door and in advance.

Students enrolled in dance professor Shelley Cushman’s senior projects class are required to choreograph or perform in the concert. They also can complete a research study in fieldwork.

“Their work is a culmination to demonstrate the knowledge they have acquired through the course of their study,” Cushman said.

Cushman, the artistic director of the concert, is known for her background in dance. She

earned the 2010 University Dance Educator of the Year from the National Dance Association.

“They have to create a product, which the public is invited to see, and in this process they have to solve all of the problems they are given in order to create this work of art,” she said.

In the class, students learn about dynamics, unity, variety, content, form and theme, Cushman said.

From the 10 choreographed works at the concert, two dance pieces were chosen to represent UNT at the American College Dance Festival, including Amelia Wert’s “The Television is Watching Me Again” and Cassie Farzan Panah’s “Gravity of Deception.”

“I set out with this image of a motel. I was interested in doing something different,” Wert said. “I thought about the idea of why people would want to stay at a motel and wondered what they felt.”

Wert’s modern piece includes

nine dancers accompanied by focused lighting to make it seem as if they are each in their own motel room. Each dancer is isolated from the others and dances with minimalistic move-ment for a strong impact. The themes include love, loss, isola-tion and insomnia, which are overlaid by the glow of a tele-vision.

“It’s a good program. We have some amazing faculty that have really pushed us far,” Wert said.

All 56 dancers were chosen from the dance department by advanced choreography students. Some choreographers also decided to dance. Cushman allowed students to perform if they were up for the challenge.

Rachel Caldwell choreo-graphed “Certain Uncertainty” and is also performing in “Guess Who’s Not Coming to Dinner,” choreog raphed by A nna Womack.

In Caldwell’s choreography, dancers explore the experi-

Seniors to debut their dance works Friday

ence of being blind by wearing blindfolds. In 28 rehearsals, the four dancers adapted to their hearing and touching senses to help them through the modern piece. Caldwell also worked with music student Ryan Pivovar to compose a song of looped cello

harmonies. Caldwell said her piece is about

blindness as an experience, not a handicap.

“I was in my modern class last semester and we would lie on the ground and shut our eyes. I wondered if I could capture a

feeling of dance with touch and sound rather than with sight,” Caldwell said.

The concert will also be held at 8 p.m. Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in the University Theatre. For more information, visit www.danceandtheatre.unt.edu.

UNT graduate lands role on the big screen

1998 radio, television and � lm graduate Stephen Young has played parts in TV shows such as “Murder by the Book” and “Homicide Hunter.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF STEPHEN YOUNG

DAISY SILOSStaff Writer

Though radio, television and film graduate Stephen Young can’t say he’s headlined major films, he has made the big screen.

Young, who plays a small role in the film “Like Crazy,” which opened on Halloween, had previously racked up a series of TV credits in shows such as “Murder by the Book,” and “Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda.”

“I always kind of lived in my imagination and liked playing different characters,” he said. “Movies were always my big escape.”

You n g , w h o i n i t i a l l y attended the University of Texas at Austin, said he trans-ferred to UNT because of the opportunity to gain more

hands-on experience. “I tried working in Austin,

but it was just so big I couldn’t really gain anything from their f i lm department,” he said. “Transferring to North

Texas and working for ntTV definitely gave me the expe-rience that I needed.”

W hen he came to UNT, Young said his goal was to learn the ins and outs behind

the camera, rather than in front.

“I thought to myself, I love movies so much that I wanted to know how they were made,” he said. “I figured I’d do that

as an undergraduate and then go to an acting conservatory or go into sketch and improv comedy.”

After graduating from UNT in 1998, Young said he worked for KDAF in Dallas as a camera operator and graphics artist.

In 2000, he moved to L.A. and enrolled into The Groundlings theater school, a prestigious improv school where stars such as Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell have gone.

It was while he was there that Young met “Like Crazy” director Drake Doremus, who

offered him a small role in the film.

“It’s a small part, but he was nice enough to offer me the part,” he said. “It was a great experience and I learned a lot from him and the other actors in the movie.”

UNT business a lumnus Russell Petty said he’s known Young since seventh grade and said he thinks this is just the start of Young’s career.

“When it came to drama, he always seemed to steal the show in whatever he was in,” he said. “I always thought he had the drive and ability to make it.”

Petty has seen Young in action during their college years together and has even seen some of the work he’s done at Groundlings.

V ic tor ia A r m st rong , a t heater sophomore, sa id k now ing that people who were in her shoes before are having some success moti-vates her for the future.

“Even if it’s a small part like his, it’s a big movie that’s gotten great reviews,” she said. “There isn’t such thing as a small part as long as you gain some experience from it.”

“There isn’t such thing as a small part as long as you gain

some experience from it.”—Victoria Armstrong

Dance students perform “The Itch,” choreographed by dance senior Anna Olvera, at a rehearsal for the New Choreogra-phers Concert.

BY TARYN WALKERIntern

Months of hard work all come down to one night.

Senior dance students will display their original works on Friday for the first time at the New Choreographers Concert. The concert will start at 8 p.m. in the University Theatre in the Radio, Television, Film and Performing Arts Building.

General admission is $5 and tickets can be purchased at the box office, over the phone, at the door and in advance.

Students enrolled in dance professor Shelley Cushman’s senior projects class are required to choreograph or perform in the concert. They also can complete a research study in fieldwork.

“Their work is a culmination to demonstrate the knowledge they have acquired through the course of their study,” Cushman said.

Cushman, the artistic director of the concert, is known for her background in dance. She

earned the 2010 University Dance Educator of the Year from the National Dance Association.

“They have to create a product, which the public is invited to see, and in this process they have to solve all of the problems they are given in order to create this work of art,” she said.

In the class, students learn about dynamics, unity, variety, content, form and theme, Cushman said.

From the 10 choreographed works at the concert, two dance pieces were chosen to represent UNT at the American College Dance Festival, including Amelia Wert’s “The Television is Watching Me Again” and Cassie Farzan Panah’s “Gravity of Deception.”

“I set out with this image of a motel. I was interested in doing something different,” Wert said. “I thought about the idea of why people would want to stay at a motel and wondered what they felt.”

Wert’s modern piece includes

nine dancers accompanied by focused lighting to make it seem as if they are each in their own motel room. Each dancer is isolated from the others and dances with minimalistic move-ment for a strong impact. The themes include love, loss, isola-tion and insomnia, which are overlaid by the glow of a tele-vision.

“It’s a good program. We have some amazing faculty that have really pushed us far,” Wert said.

All 56 dancers were chosen from the dance department by advanced choreography students. Some choreographers also decided to dance. Cushman allowed students to perform if they were up for the challenge.

ence of being blind by wearing blindfolds. In 28 rehearsals, the four dancers adapted to their hearing and touching senses to help them through the modern piece. Caldwell also worked with music student Ryan Pivovar to compose a song of looped cello

harmonies. Caldwell said her piece is about

blindness as an experience, not a handicap.

“I was in my modern class last semester and we would lie on the ground and shut our eyes. I wondered if I could capture a

feeling of dance with touch and sound rather than with sight,” Caldwell said.

The concert will also be held at 8 p.m. Saturday and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in the University Theatre. For more information, visit www.danceandtheatre.unt.edu.

Campus group hones cra� of public speakingBRITTNI BARNETTSenior Staff Writer

The UNT Toastmasters club is one of 13,000 branches world-wide that help members master the art of public speaking.

UNT’s branch, which was chartered in 2002, is one of about five clubs in the Denton area.

“We felt that this club was a natural fit for the univer-sity,” said Russ Stukel, director of student life for the Texas Academy of Math and Science and one of the club’s members. “Being able to form ideas in a concise manner using proper grammar and eloquent vocabu-lary is very important.”

In addition to learning skills such as body language, gestures and voice inflection that help with prepared public speeches, members also learn to speak off the cuff. Each of the meetings incorporates time for what are known as “table topics.” In this exercise, members are asked a question and must give a short answer on the spot.

Tracee Robertson, director of the UNT art galleries, decided to join the club three years ago after giving a presentation for her job.

“I struggle, like most people,

with speaking in front of a crowd,” Robertson said. “It was embarrassing. I stumbled over my words and I couldn’t get my PowerPoint presentation to work right. It was just a mess.”

After her presentation, Robertson said a Toastmasters club member approached her and told her about the organi-zation and what it offered.

“At first my feelings were hurt, of course,” she said. “But I knew he was right, so I went, and it’s changed everything. It’s made such a big difference in my confidence.”

The club meets weekly from noon to 1 p.m. in Marquis Hall 118. The meetings serve as an opportunity for members to practice their public speaking and leadership skills through a step-by-step process.

Once members complete a series of usually 10 speeches or 10 projects they can move on to the next level.

Club member Helen Schenk has obtained Distinguished Toastmaster , the highest level in the organization, which took her six years to accomplish.

“I decided after a couple of years that I wanted to try for that title,” said Schenk, an adminis-

trative assistant for the College of Engineering. “I have made a lot of speeches, but it’s a learning process for me too. By listening and evaluating other speakers

you learn things, and this is helpful for me as well.”

Students, faculty, staff and community members alike are encouraged to join the club,

Robertson said.“Your goal is to have people

go away with an understanding of your ideas and your message,” Robertson said. “Toastmasters

really helps you kind of unleash your talents and your passions and it allows and inspires you to share those with other people.”

35 Denton takeovergets started tonightALEX MACONArts & Life Editor

Rain or shine, organizers say nothing short of the apocalypse will stop North Texas’ biggest four-day music festival from taking over downtown Denton tonight.

The outdoor main stages will lie dormant until tomorrow, but 35 Denton – now in its fourth year – is bringing both nationally known artists and local legends to nearly every venue within eyesight of the Courthouse-on–the-Square.

Skinny rockers with amps turned up to 11, bombastic rap icons with cough syrup in their veins, DJs with ceiling-high stacks

of records on hand – take your pick.

The art, panels, food trucks, booths and house shows that come with the influx of musi-cians and creative types are just the cherry on top.

Four-day wristbands are still available for about $69, and one-day passes are going for $35 to $50. Tickets for individual venues can also be purchased.

Shows start tonight at 9:30 p.m.

See you there.

For in-depth looks at 35 Denton, pick up tomorrow’s SCENE and Tuesday’s North Texas Daily.

JOSHUA FRIEMELStaff Writer

While warming up in the bullpen before a game, you’ll probably see sopho-more pitcher Ashley Kirk dancing or singing with sen ior catcher Ca it l in “Curly” Grimes. In fact, Grimes said Kirk is “one of the bubbliest pitchers out there.”

But once she gets in the pitcher’s circle, Kirk’s killer instincts kick in, and batters are routinely sent back to their dugout with bat in hand, hiding the shame of being yet another strikeout victim.

During her first season on the team, Kirk became just the fourth pitcher in school history to record 100 strike-outs in a season, finishing with 158 on the year. This season, she’s struck out 42 batters in 36 innings, giving her an even 200 in her career.

Junior pitcher Brittany Simmons has 142 strikeouts in three seasons at UNT. Kirk surpassed that in her first season.

But if you ask Kirk, she doesn’t label herself as a strikeout pitcher.

“When you do get the strikeout and make them look so, so [dumb], I love it,” she said. “But I don’t consider myself a strikeout pitcher.”

Kirk said she’s been labeled as such since she started pitching when she was 11 years old. Her natural ability to throw hard has always led to strikeouts.

The first time through the lineup, Kirk says she makes mental notes of what pitches hitters swing at and where the batters are located in the hitter’s box.

“It ’s a double-edged sword,” Kirk said of facing opposing batters for a second t ime. “They’ve seen me, but I also have the advantage of seeing them. I’ll remember what I threw to them and what they hit, so I can adjust to that.”

To get the third and final strike, Kirk uses an array of her arsenal depending on the situation. She’ll turn to her changeup, riseball or curveball while trying to keeping the hitters off balance.

Kirk keeps teams in check with strikeouts

Kirk has pitched 14 fewer innings this year than Simmons, but has 14 more strikeouts than she does.

Kirk has 8.17 strikeouts per game this season. Last season, she averaged 8.46 per game.

She recorded the school record with 14 strikeouts in a game twice, once against Troy and once against Missouri State.

In high school at Stony Point, Kirk struck out 39 batters in a single 21-inning game.

Being an efficient pitcher can mean many different things.

To UNT junior pitcher Brittany Simmons, being an efficient pitcher doesn’t mean blowing the ball past the opposing batter. It means fooling the batter into hitting the pitch Simmons wants them to hit.

“You know, I don’t really go up to Brittany and say, ‘This is all you’re going to do is make ground-balls,’” pitching coach Lisa Ferguson said. “I want her to strike out as many as she can, too, obviously, but pitchers that don’t strike out as many have to have to be more accurate.”

Simmons was a marathon

Junior pitcher gets it done with groundballs

Simmons recorded the lowest earned run average (2.28) for a freshman in school history in 2010.

She ranks second in UNT history in career earned run average (3.00).

Simmons pitched 11 innings in a single game against CSU Bakersfield on Feb. 10, 2011, the second most in a single game in school history.

When Kirk does get into a rhythm and starts striking out hitters, Grimes said her job is to make sure Kirk stays upbeat and positive.

“I don’t want her to lose that hype,” Grimes said. “When Kirk starts striking them out left and right, I don’t want to mess with that. You let her do her thing.”

After striking out a batter, Kirk points her right index finger to the sky. If her first season and a half are any indi-cation, UNT fans should get used to seeing that motion.

“The motion is because a guy that my brother played football with died of a really rare bone cancer, and that’s what he did,” Kirk said. “I also do that in my remembrance of him.”

History repeated itself Tuesday, as the UNT men’s basketball team dropped its second straight Sun Belt Conference Tournament Final with a 74-70 loss to Western Kentucky. Who was the team UNT lost to in the final round last season, and what was the score?

Answer: The Mean Green fell in 64-63 to the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans, as Trojan senior guard Solomon Bozeman ended the Mean Green’s season with a game-winning 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left in regulation.

Mean Green Trivia

team-leading 187.1 innings pitched with 16 complete games.

Simmons was also the most hit pitcher on UNT’s team, but she posted the second lowest earned run average on the team at 3.29 runs per game.

“She [Simmons] has grown so much since her freshman year,” senior catcher Caitlin Grimes said. “Now batters are barely able to hit her past the pitcher’s mound. Her move-ment is just drastic, and she has a beautiful off-speed pitch, but with her I love the way she has grown, and she has molded into a fantastic pitcher.”

As a groundout pitcher, Simmons is confident batters will hit the ball, which is apparent with the extra equip-ment Simmons dons in the pitcher’s circle.

When Simmons was 11 years old, a line drive crushed her eye socket. She now wears a protective mask to prevent any further damage to her already repaired face.

“I actually had plastic surgery to reconstruct my entire eye socket. I have three titanium plates surrounding my eye, so I have to keep my expen-sive face together and protect it at all costs,” Simmons said. “Probably if you take that thing off of me you might see the biggest baby on the mound ever, because I will just see over and over like, the ball coming at my face.”

With Simmons’ pitching style, nothing is more impor-tant than the defense backing her up. Having the defense behind her not only gives her confidence but also gives her a sense of team accomplish-ment every time she enters the pitching circle, she said.

“I really like having my team involved out there with me. If I get a win or do something, it is then obviously like a team effort,” Simmons said. “I always feel like every time I pitch they have my back. I have faith in them that if I get a little dinker or a hard hit, they’ll get the out.”

“Now batters are barely able to

hit her past the pitcher’s mound.”

No g roup is t he sa me without its captain, and the Mean Green tennis team is no exception.

After suffering a shoulder injury last season, senior Irina Paraschiv is batt ling back and making a huge impact for UNT.

“She is one of our f ier y, emotional leaders, so we need her out there playing her best,” head coach Sujay Lama said. “She’s kind of like the engine of the team. When the engine is on, everybody else is going with it, and when the engine is off the whole team tends to shut down a little bit.”

When Paraschiv returned to the team last fall for her fourth season with the Mean Green, an MRI revealed that she had suffered a SLAP tear – superior labrum tear from anterior to posterior – in her right shoulder.

“We could have said, ‘Bump the surger y and let us see what happens,’ or ‘Let’s do the surgery, shut her down and

A familiar feeling resonates with the Mean Green men’s basketball team.

One year after losing by a point in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title game, the team took a four-point loss in the championship to end its season Tuesday.

If Johnson or Taylor qualifies for the NCAA Championships, they will be the first members of the Mean Green to do so in program history.

Johnson is the first diver in the school’s history to qualify in back-to-back years.

The two qualified for the meet by finishing second and

“I thought our guys did a fantastic job in getting to this point. It took a great deal of effort and energy, and unfortunately we weren’t able to finish those guys off,” head coach Johnny Jones said.

Before UNT’s 2011-2012 season began, Hoopscooponline.com ranked UNT’s recruiting class No. 31 in the nation – its best recruiting class in the program’s history – and looked ready to

make another run at the Sun Belt Conference Tournament cham-pionship.

After last season’s one-point loss to Arkansas-Little Rock in the SBC Final, Jones brought in Oklahoma State junior transfer Roger Franklin and freshmen guards Chris Jones and Jordan Williams. Freshman forward Tony Mitchell, who was one of the nation’s top players coming out of high school, also joined the

team in December.UNT was then hit with

academic ineligibility when two of the team’s starters, Williams and Chris Jones, failed to meet the academic standards held by the NCAA a month after Mitchell joined the lineup.

UNT moved on without the guards but ultimately fell to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in the SBC Tournament Final 74-70.

“We got some good looks there’s no question about that, but the ball just didn’t go in. There were definitely some good plays though,” sophomore guard Alzee Williams said.

With the loss of Chris Jones and Williams, the UNT coaching staff had to retool the lineup and still produced the highest scoring offense in the conference at 71.8 points per game and the No. 18 rebounding team in the nation at 39 boards per game.

“We’ve become a stronger and closer basketball team because of

some of the so-called distractions, and I think we have grown from it,” Jones said. “Our other guys really stepped up,”

UNT will lose three seniors – guard Tyler Hall and forwards Alonzo Edwards and Kedrick Hogans – with the season ending. However, the team will get Chris Jones and Williams, who were two

of the team’s top scorers before they were ruled ineligible, back next season.

“We’ve been having troubles finishing teams off all year, but at the end of the day I think that what it really was that we needed the composures and we need to make the plays down the stretch,” Franklin said.

fourth, respectively, in the one-meter diving finals at the SBC Championship.

“I think if we can repeat how well we did in the Sun Belt [Championship], and we’re looking to do a little better, the top 18 – maybe the top 12 – is a pretty safe bet,” head diving coach Jim Pyrch said.

While 42 divers have been invited to the meet, which takes place March 8 through March 10, last year only 11 divers advanced to the NCAA Championships. To qualify for the zone meet, the divers need to score 265 points on the one-meter board and 280 to qualify on the three-meter board. The score is based on six total dives. Each dive is scored by two judges, and that combined score is multiplied by the degree of difficulty.

Johnson has been the SBC Diver of the Week four times this season. In preliminary dives, Taylor broke the previous school record of 298.13 on the three-meter board with a score of 304.45.

“One miss and you’re gonna be out,” Pyrch said. “I think as long as we score and dive how we have been, we’re going to be in the ball game.”

Profile get her back in the spring,’” Lama said of the tennis staff’s dilemma.

I n t he end, t he tea m decided to shelve Paraschiv for surgery in hopes that she would return healthy and ready for the spring season.

“I think, looking back on it, we made the right decision,” Lama said.

Since Paraschiv’s surgery was in September, she will have t i me to completely hea l before t he Sun Belt Conference Championships, which start April 19. While she is currently playing with the team, she is still going through rehabilitation.

“A month after [passive rehabilitation], we started doing exercises where I could move my arm alone. Then we started doing tennis-specific exercises,” Paraschiv said. “Even now sometimes I’m still doing rehab.”

D u r i ng t he 2010 -2011 season, Paraschiv compiled a team-best 22-13 record and

went 7-3 in the team’s No.1 slot. The senior has picked up right where she left off since returning to the team this spring.

Pa raschiv got her f i rst singles action of the season Jan. 21 against Oral Roberts when she dominated her

opponent 6 - 0, 6 -1. T h is spring, Paraschiv has gone 6-3 in singles matches, posting victories over players from then-No. 53 Kansas State and then-No. 44 TCU.

“She’s playing pretty well, taking into consideration that she had the surgery,” senior Paula Dinuta said. “She still has time to get better. By [the SBC Championships] I think she’ll be a lot better.”

Paraschiv may be playing well, but she says she’s still on ly 80 percent hea lt hy. Despite this, she is showing no lack of confidence. The time off the court may have even given her an unexpected advantage that she did not have before.

“ B e i n g o u t s i d e a n d watching [the team], she’s l ike her ow n coach now,” Lama said. “She sees the game better. That part of her game has improved. She sees how emotions can affect a match, and she sees the tactical side better.”

Things are already looking up for the No. 64 Mean Green, and with its captain at the forefront, they could get even better.

“She’s kind of like the engine of the team. When the engine is on,

everybody else is going with it, and when the engine is off the whole

team tends to shut down a little bit.”—Sujay Lama

Do you support the SGA’s decision to

send the Union fee to a student vote?

“Overall, yes. I would like to see more benefits of the Union

before the vote, though.”

Last night, UNT’s Student Government Association voted for a plan for the building of a new student Union to go to a student vote. If the majority of students vote yes, a fee increase by as much as $115 will be placed on every student starting in fall 2014.

It is in the opinion of the Edboard that the proposed plan is not in the best interest of the university, and its students and SGA president Blake Windham should veto the bill for two main reasons.

PlanningIn an interview with students posted

on the University Union Master Plan blog, Union Director Zane Reif stated

Scoular and Stovall halls would be removed to make room for the newer, larger student Union.

Unfortunately, this would place the two programs housed by each building, Dance and the College of Visual Arts and Design, in modular buildings for an unknown period of time.

Three of UNT’s “Four Bold Goals,” released earlier this semester, were centered on creating a better educa-tional experience, with the ultimate goal of being a “Tier-One” research school. Leaving students in some programs unsure of their future because we’re too focused on funding a hangout spot for students will not bring positive academic growth to our school.

Funding In the same interview, Reif said the

financing of the $120 million Union was based on projections of UNT having grown to 45,000 students by 2020 –– which raises questions, considering UNT saw a decrease in enrollment by 1.9 percent from spring 2011.

The school is focused on stricter academic standards for incoming freshman, which increases the quality of students but also has a tendency to decrease total enroll-ment. Because of this, it seems likely that the student fee could increase in the future.

It can’t be a good indication for

students when Reif states in the interview he hopes the financing will come together early enough to prevent a growth in the fee. Although students are able to pass the fee, they don’t have control over an increase dealing with interest, which, all things considered, will be a problem.

Just because SGA has approved the new student Union, that doesn’t mean it will necessarily happen. It’s now in the hands of the leader of SGA’s exec-utive branch, Blake Windham.

President Windham has the power to veto this harmful legislation and should exercise that power if he cares for the future of UNT and its students.

In many ways, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban takes things to the extreme.

He’s the guy that allegedly paid a fine in 2001 with multiple armored cars full of pennies. He’s the guy who bought a champagne bottle the size of Gary Coleman after winning the NBA Championship.

And now he’s the guy who is saying that the best option for the Mavericks’ future may not be with free agents Deron Williams and Dwight Howard.

Of course Cuban wants the euphoria of winning a title to last for as long as it can, but at what cost do you hang onto that winning sensation when the opportunity to win multiple titles is right in front of you?

Williams has openly said that he’d like to return to Dallas to play basket-ball, and veteran guard Jason Kidd said he’d be open to backing up Williams on the depth chart, whether that be in Dallas or New Jersey. One could argue that Williams is one of the top three point guards in the NBA right now.

The Nets are surviving in the Eastern Conference with a roster full of nobodies because of William’s produc-tion. Cuban would be insane to turn down a willing point guard with the ability to play defense, dish the rock and score as well as Williams can. That 57-point game against Charlotte proved he can do it all.

What will drive any Mavericks fan absolutely crazy is if Cuban has the ability to get Howard and turns him down. Cuban has notoriously over-spent for centers. A perfect example is

Brendan Haywood’s contract, which has five years and $45 million left. Haywood will most likely cut with the amnesty clause, so Dallas will need a center.

With Howard, the team would get instant defense. Howard has been the Defensive Player of the Year for three consecutive years, All-NBA for four and has been in MVP discussions for the last few years.

If you have the opportunity to get one of the top three guards AND the top center in the NBA and you say no after letting go of defensive anchor Tyson Chandler and fan favorite J.J. Barea, I think fans turn on Cuban. They might still like the Mavericks and walking legend Dirk Nowitzki, but the only respect Cuban will get is with his buddies on Shark Tank.

If Cuban wants to fill his euphoria addiction with more Larry O’Brien trophies, he’ll sign Williams and Howard if he has the chance.

If you aren’t disgusted by The Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas, you should be. They recently announced a new policy where universities without smoking bans would be denied cancer research funds. UNT received about $200,000 of funding from CPRIT last year for a study on pros-tate cancer. I think it’s time we gave the money back or at least severed ties with their organization.

Back in January, I received news that my father had prostate cancer. Prostate cancer isn’t the most popular cancer in terms of research funds. Compared to breast cancer, it kills roughly the same number of people while only receiving a third of the research funds. To see that CPRIT would deny UNT research funding because of its lack of smoking ban infuriated me. How do you tell people that you’re denying research funds because an institution respects indi-vidual liberties?

UNT needs to do the right thing and at the very least reject any funds from CPRIT. The policy is vague and draconian. It calls for “a tobacco-free zone around each research building and all connected walkways and parking lots.” I understand that their goal is to eradicate cancer, but that goes too far. What is defined as a “research building”? Even their PR specialist Ellen Price said, “We don’t mind a complete ban.”

Yes, North Texas is trying to be a Tier One school, but we shouldn’t sacrifice individual liberty and bend over backwards to suit one institu-

tion. This policy is offensive, and to hold cancer funds hostage is abso-lutely unacceptable.

Where do the stipulations end? Will CPRIT one day deny research

funds because UNT serves red meat, or because we don’t require enough physical education hours or even because we don’t regulate the amount of sugar served in our cafeterias?

We cannot accept these terms as a university. Our 25-feet-from-the-building rule is more than OK, and if that can’t even be enforced then what’s to say that the “tobacco-free zone” will be enforced either?

Yes, cancer is terrible, but so is the destruction of indi-vidual liberties. The students at this school oppose a total ban on smoking, why should we use this as a way of subverting their wishes?

It is essentially a game of placing num-bers 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 fol-low. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must include 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
