The fledgling organization Trans*formers is working to impact and improve the lives of transgender students at UNT, as well as confront issues they may face.

Branching off from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of Denton, Trans*formers is looking to create not only

support for its members, but to open up an opportunity for a greater understanding of the transgender lifestyle.

“When the sex people were labeled at birth does not accu-rately represent their gender identity, it can be tough,” said Trans*formers adviser Clark Pomerleau, a history professor. “Trans*formers can become another space where such

people and their allies can support each other and find like-minded friends.”

In the process of becoming its own organization separate from GLAD, Trans*formers has gained about a dozen members and is waiting to see if it gains consistent membership before trying to become an official organization.

“We collaborated to create

a community organization that is specifically for trans people and our allies,” medical laboratory science senior Tyler Sanders said.

Trans*formers hopes to orga n i z e f u nd ra isers to sponsor members for help with medical or psychological therapy expenses that would be acquired in the transitioning process, such as a smaller scale

drag show modeled after the one GLAD holds annually.

“We want to be open to everybody because we want everyone to be open to us,” said English literature senior Effy Freese, a starting officer with the organization. “But we also know that there is a lot more hesitancy out there than with the average queer community.”

Through Trans*formers, Freese hopes to educate the UNT community on an issue that many people aren’t familiar with.

“It’s cool and disturbing to see how common it is on this campus because there hasn’t been a community thus far, and there are so many things to address with it,” Freese said.

“When I was talking to students [College of Education] I was asking, ‘What don’t you see happening in the university?’” Burkett said. “A lot of them didn’t

even know there was a senate, so there is a huge lack of involve-ment.”

A Tax-Free Textbook Resolution for students was sent to the fiscal

committee. Senate Speaker Morgan Ray said the bill is planned to be presented next year to Texas legislators and go before a senate vote Wednesday.

Wells Fargo was not the only bank affected by the security breach. Any bank that has Visa and MasterCard cardholders could be at risk.

If a person’s bank account is breached, the first step is to tell their bank, followed by cancel-ling their credit or debit card so no further damage can be done.

“If a student believes that

there was a transaction on their bank statement that was not from them, they should contact their bank immedi-ately,” Stroop said. “Students should get into the habit of checking their bank state-ments daily so that their money is safe. As students get older and graduate, money is going to be a big priority.”

For students who think their Wells Fargo card has been breached, bank repre-sentatives can be reached at 1-800-869-3557.

Rankings are determined by categories such as grade point average, faculty-student ratio, acceptance rate and the number of graduates entering primary care, research analyst Marc Foster said. Even when the program advances, the rankings can stay the same or change, he said.

“We can see our scores in each area improve, but if you don’t move

as much as other schools, you can go down. It’s all a func-tion of how other schools take strides,” Foster said.

Data compilation takes about a month, and part of the rankings are composed by school deans and residency directors completing surveys ranking other medical schools and programs.

“We’re pleased to be ranked consistently for the last 10 years,” Russell said. “We tend to excel, and it shows in our measurements.”

( M C T ) J AC K S O N V I L L E , Fla. – Specia l Prosecutor A ngela Corey a nnounced Wed nesday even i ng t hat Neighborhood Watch volun-teer George Zimmerman has been charged in the death of Trayvon Martin.

If convicted, Zimmerman wou ld face up to l i fe in prison.

“The team here with me has worked tirelessly looking for answers in Trayvon Martin’s death,” Corey said, intro-ducing her prosecutors and investigators.

Corey added, “we do not prosecute by public pres-sure.” She said that her office handles all cases the same way, regardless of the scru-tiny.

“We will continue to seek the truth in this case,” Corey said. “There is a reason cases are tried in a court of law.”

C ore y c on f i r me d t hat a wa rra nt was issued for Zimmerman’s arrest, and that he is in custody. She declined to say what ev idence her office has that would counter his self-defense claim.

She also declined to reveal Zimmerman’s location.

At the Washington conven-tion center where Martin’s parents are expected to speak Wednesday night, a crowd of about 40 had gathered around a hallway TV to hear the deci-sion by the special prose-cutor.

When she said they would p u r s u e s e c o n d - d e g r e e murder, many in the group erupted in applause. Soon a f ter Corey ’s a n nou nce-ment, the Rev. Al Sharpton addressed the crowd.

“We don’t want anyone high-fiveing tonight. There wa s no w i n ner ton ig ht,” Sharpton said. “This is not

about gloating. This is about pursuing justice.”

Said Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump: “This is only first base.”

Meanwhile, Zimmerman has retained a new law yer. Veter a n C ent r a l F lor ida a t t o r n e y M a r k O ’ M a r a w i l l represent him, CNN legal analyst Mark NeJame confirmed.

NeJame, himself a prom-i nent loc a l law yer, a l so confirmed that Zimmerman is i n t he custody of t he Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Zimmerman shot and killed Martin, a high school junior, on a rainy evening Feb. 26 in Sanford.

The teen from Miami had been returning from a nearby 7-Eleven, where he bought a can of iced tea and a bag of Sk it t les, when he was spotted by Zimmerman in

the Retreat at Twin Lakes, a gated community where he was staying with his father’s fiancee.

Zimmerman was in his SUV on his way to Target when he called police, telling them Martin seemed suspicious.

“This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something,” Zimmerman told a police dispatcher as he watched Martin minutes before the shooting.

In a ser ies of 911 ca l ls shor t l y a f ter, neig hbor s descr ibed a n a ltercat ion between the two men. On one call, screams can be heard, and then a gunshot. Martin’s lawyers said the screams are from the teen; Zimmerman’s father said it was his son shouting for help.

Martin’s death has reignited racia l tensions across the country and sent protesters to the streets in numbers seldom seen since the anti-war move-ment of the 1970s.

The outcry prompted the U.S. Department of Justice to launch a civil rights investiga-tion, the governor to put the case in the hands of a special prosecutor a nd Sa nford’s police chief to temporarily step aside.

Jarren Mack is leading a double life.

There’s UNT senior Jarren Mack, studying public adminis-tration and emergency manage-ment at the Denton campus.

Then there’s JMack, the up-and-coming Texas-by-way-of-England rapper who rhymes over his own self-produced beats.

When Mack’s not at school, he can be found laying down tracks in a dimly lit studio decked with a keyboard, a vocal booth, produc-tion equipment and a beat-up backpack he loves so much he’s written a song about it.

“I’m a night owl,” he said. “I’ll know I have school the next day, and it’ll be one in the morning, and that’s when I’m ready to write for a beat I’ve had in my head all day.”

Mack has been taking the rap game by storm with his distinct brand of electronica and hip-hop and has several big-time opening shows under his belt, sharing the stage with artists such as Bun B, Killer Mike, Yelawolf, Trae the

Truth and Big Tuck.Mack, whose father was in

the Air Force, grew up across the Atlantic in England, which is where he first heard the song “Wake Up Call,” a collabora-tion between dance group The Prodigy and rapper Kool Keith. The song’s blurring of genre lines served as an early inspiration.

He grew familiar with elec-tronic music while living in England, and his love for rap artists such as Wu-Tang Clan and UGK started when he moved to Allen, Texas in 1990.

In high school, Mack began rapping with his friends as a way to goof around and make fun of each other, but it eventu-ally turned into something more emotional.

“When my grandmother passed away, it was a way to vent,” he said.

Mack said it had always been a passion of his to listen to music, and he longed to emulate his favorite artists.

“I just want to inspire people the way I was inspired,” Mack said. “That’s my motivation.”

Chef Christof Syré’s sing-song voice trails behind him as he glides from one oven to another, gesturing grandiosely and keeping an eye on every student wearing an apron.

Sy ré, executive chef at the Four Seasons Resort: Las Colinas, worked along-side students at The Club at Gateway Center on Wednesday to plan and produce a specially designed meal for The Club’s Guest Chef Day, which is held once a semester.

About 200 patrons dined at the student-run restaurant – operated by the School of Merchandising and Hospitality Management to give students hands-on experience – to sample Syré’s menu.

“Each year we hire from this campus, and I wanted to be part of building that rela-tionship,” said Syré, a fourth-generation restaurateur who was ra ised i n Ger ma ny. “My goal was to explore and build job opportunities for students.”

Syré’s European cooking school background is informed by the years he later spent living in Asia, and his food fuses f lavor and creativity. His menu for Guest Chef Day included oven-dried tomato and bread soup, grilled salmon Nicoise style, white chocolate and praline mousse, and a strawberry mint salad.

The Four Seasons: Las Colinas reached out to UNT to continue fostering a budding

relat ionship bet ween t he university’s hospitality school and the hotel’s restaurant.

“It’s a chance for chefs to come in and work with students and expose them to a broader audience,” said lecturer Charlie Foster, general manager of The Club. “During the pre-meal with students, the recipes just come to life, working side by side with the chef. It is definitely a positive, collaborative relationship.”

Before the day of the event, Syré created a menu that students then adapted for correct portion sizes, adjusting ingredients based on The Club at Gateway’s budget. Students said the greatest challenge was learning how to plan and prepare more than twice the usual number of meals.

“I am his right-hand person that makes sure everything is right,” hospitality and tourism senior Rhonda McTyre said. “This is my first time working with a chef one-on-one, and he has a lot of advice and is very informative. He’s shown me that it takes patience and great leadership, and if I ever become a chef I want to work

with him.” Syré said he enjoyed the

experience of working with students in a fully opera-tional restaurant.

“It would’ve been good for future planning to have students involved [earlier in the process] because I provided the recipes, but it makes me understand the way students are taught and need support to be successful,” Syré said.

Twenty students each day prepare, cook and serve meals to keep the on-campus restaurant up and running. The Club is maintained by students f rom t w o Re st au r a nt Operations. The classes div ide up management and cooking responsibili-ties every three weeks, but all hands were on deck for Guest Chef Day.

The Club at Gateway Center is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. for the rest of April. Meals are $7. To make a reservation, e-mail [email protected] or call 940-565-4144.

Groups of students excit-edly crowded around dogs of all breeds and sizes outside of the Willis Library on Wednesday. The University Program Council’s “Pet Experience” included wagging tails, furry ears and adoption tips courtesy of the Denton Animal Shelter.

The Pet Experience, run by UPC Film’s Coordinator Joe Gonzalez, gave students a chance to talk to pet owners who have adopted dogs from the Denton Animal Shelter. The event was specifi-cally aimed at students who are leaving on-campus housing and can consider taking in a pet.

“We put on this event so students can be informed by current pet owners about how they can adopt and be pet owners themselves,” Gonzalez said.

Dog owner Tracy Frier has volunteered at the Denton Animal Shelter for almost a year and knows how much commitment it takes to take care of pets.

“We let the dogs out of their kennels and play with them, spend time with them and make sure they’re socializing and getting lots of love and atten-tion,” Frier said.

Because college students have schedules filled with class, work and other commitments, Frier encouraged any prospective pet owner to think carefully before adopting: pets, such as dogs, require time, care and devo-tion.

“We encourage people to adopt dogs appropriate for their life-style,” she said.

Frier also advocated for students to adopt from shelters or rescues because so many dogs are euthanized every year on a national scale.

Dogs’ day out in Denton“When you adopt from a shelter

you really save a life,” she said.Math freshman and pet owner

Melissa Parks agreed. “I’d rather give a second chance

to a dog than get a new pedigree that’s expensive,” she said.

However, she said she under-stands that adopting a dog is a big commitment and a decision that potential pet owners should take time to consider.

“I think if you want to adopt from a shelter, you need to know ahead of time that dog had another life before the shelter,” Parks said.

Frier also encouraged anyone interested in volunteering at the animal shelter to attend an orien-tation at Denton Animal Shelter

at 300 S. Woodrow Ln. on May 12 at 9:30 a.m. As for “The Pet Experience,” Frier said she hopes students will realize the respon-sibility of being a pet owner that comes with adopting from shel-ters or rescues.

“Every breed is different, and it’s important to adopt a dog where their energy level is right for you,” she said.

Gonzalez expects students to take the information they learned at “The Pet Experience” into consideration as well.

“I think the students students gain an understanding of what it takes to be a pet owner and can also gain valuable experi-ence from pet owners in the Denton Community,” he said.

It’s not all about the rap industry for JMack, and he said that right now his biggest focus is on graduating from UNT.

Juggling his time between school and music is one of the biggest challenges he’s faced living his double life, Mack said.

“My grades started to slip because I have such a passion for music, but I turned it around and put school first,” he said.

He chose to study public administration and emergency management because of his mili-tary background and his desire to help those in need.

“I wanted to do something totally across the street from music,” Mack said.

Friend and publicist Ashton Lynne, of Dulce Vida Public Relations, said Mack brings a unique style to the table.

“He has sustenance and isn’t drawn into the industry for the wrong reasons. He likes what he does, and that’s why he does it,” Lynne said.

After a string of big perfor-mances and ink from various North Texas media outlets,

Lynne said Mack is on his way to becoming a household name in Dallas.

Pre-radio, television and film sophomore Max Fuerst is a recent fan of JMack who said the rapper presented a breath of fresh air.

“He’s got a unique style because of his refreshing rhyme structure,” Fuerst said. “It’s good to see someone breaking the mold.”

JMack’s music is available on iTunes, and his first album, “First

Initial, Last Name,” is available on his website, www.jmack972.com, for free.

He’s currently working on an album – set to drop this summer – and regularly performs in venues around Dallas-Fort Worth.

“...I wanted to be part of building that relationship. My goal

was to explore and build job opportunities for students.”

This Friday at noon two UT Sout hwestern Medica l Center otolar yngologists – voice experts – will host a workshop at Voertman Hall w it h UNT t heat re, music a nd radio, telev ision a nd

film students to educate the public about voice care in honor of World Voice Day.

The f ree workshop w i l l i n c l u d e S h a k e s p e a r e a n m o n o l o g u e s , a n o p e r a s i nger a nd a br oadc a s t news segment, all delivered and performed by about 15

students. “We use ou r voices to

communicate, and it’s one of those things we take for granted,” said coordinator Stephen Austin, UNT College of Music voice professor. “If you make your living on tele-v ision, radio, as a law yer,

sa lesperson or classroom teacher, it’s tiring. Teachers have the highest percent of voice disorders, and a lot of money is spent ever y year to replace teachers simply because their voices don’t work.”

World Voice Day began in

Brazil in 2002 to help draw attention to vocal cord disor-ders and larynx health, and to educate the public about a n issue of ten associated with trained vocal profes-sionals such as singers.

UT Southwestern Medical Center in Da l las recent ly

opened a voice care clinic and reached out to UNT for this first-time collaboration. The center is bringing along diagnostic equipment and voice care tips.

On Friday, the shops off the Denton Square will stay open later than usual.

Denton will have its monthly First Friday on the Square and Industrial Street area.

Live music, sculptures, stained glass, appetizers and art will be available until 9 p.m. instead of the regular 6 p.m.

For First Friday, art galleries and businesses stay open longer to give shoppers an opportunity to admire and buy art.

Several communities and countries have their own First Friday or First Thursday each

Monthly event promotes art purchases in Denton

month, which is where the idea came from.

Shannon Drawe, a photogra-

pher and UNT alumnus, said he helped start Denton’s First Friday in in February 2010. He and his

wife, Leslie Kregel, thought it would be great to increase awareness of the communi-ty’s artistic talent and culture, Kregel said.

Drawe contacted sources and created the website first-fridaydenton.com to establish the event.

“First Friday has no boss, no president. I’m just in charge of the website and building it into something because I started it,” Drawe said.

Kregel’s business, Cimarrona, sells hats, scarves and warm clothing recycled from old clothes.

“What we hope is [to gain] a

little more visibility and have the public more aware of art culture in Denton that isn’t always recognized,” Kregel said.

Merchants join with artists to help promote art and busi-nesses. For example, an artist looking for a place to display his or her work could contact a coffee shop owner willing to host the artist, Kregel said.

Heath Robinson, a pharmacy junior, thinks the event will bring attention to the creativity the community has to offer.

“I think it’s a good way to increase the exposure of the arts in Denton,” Robinson said.

Robin Huttash owns A

Creative Art STUDIO, one of the businesses that has been a part of First Friday since it started.

Huttash said her main goal is providing music for the event each month.

On Friday, Alex Riegelman, a local guitarist and blues singer, will play in A Creative Art STUDIO.

Keri Zimlich, a journalism junior, said she thinks the event is a great opportunity to have fun.

“It’s not just one shop, but all the shops getting together to rekindle that love of art,” Zimlich said.

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.”

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

On Friday, the shops off the Denton Square will stay open later than usual.

Denton will have its monthly First Friday on the Square and Industrial Street area.

Live music, sculptures, stained glass, appetizers and art will be available until 9 p.m. instead of the regular 6 p.m.

For First Friday, art galleries and businesses stay open longer to give shoppers an opportunity to admire and buy art.

Several communities and countries have their own First Friday or First Thursday each

Monthly event promotes art purchases in Denton

month, which is where the idea came from.

Shannon Drawe, a photogra-

pher and UNT alumnus, said he helped start Denton’s First Friday in in February 2010. He and his

wife, Leslie Kregel, thought it would be great to increase awareness of the communi-ty’s artistic talent and culture, Kregel said.

Drawe contacted sources and created the website first-fridaydenton.com to establish the event.

“First Friday has no boss, no president. I’m just in charge of the website and building it into something because I started it,” Drawe said.

Kregel’s business, Cimarrona, sells hats, scarves and warm clothing recycled from old clothes.

“What we hope is [to gain] a

little more visibility and have the public more aware of art culture in Denton that isn’t always recognized,” Kregel said.

Merchants join with artists to help promote art and busi-nesses. For example, an artist looking for a place to display his or her work could contact a coffee shop owner willing to host the artist, Kregel said.

Heath Robinson, a pharmacy junior, thinks the event will bring attention to the creativity the community has to offer.

“I think it’s a good way to increase the exposure of the arts in Denton,” Robinson said.

Robin Huttash owns A

Creative Art STUDIO, one of the businesses that has been a part of First Friday since it started.

Huttash said her main goal is providing music for the event each month.

On Friday, Alex Riegelman, a local guitarist and blues singer, will play in A Creative Art STUDIO.

Keri Zimlich, a journalism junior, said she thinks the event is a great opportunity to have fun.

“It’s not just one shop, but all the shops getting together to rekindle that love of art,” Zimlich said.

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.

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.”

One day after the team’s best performance of the season, the Mean Green men’s golf team moved up to No. 26 in the Golfstat.com rankings, its highest ranking since the team was ranked No. 3 in the nation at the beginning of the 2010-2011 season.

The Mean Green earned the ranking by shooting 22-under par at The Woodlands All-American Intercollegiate, finishing in second place, one stroke behind No. 8 Arkansas. The team finished ahead of No. 15 Texas A&M and No. 21 Clemson, which finished third and sixth, respectively.

Head tennis coach gives back to his homelandTYLER OWENSStaff Writer

In an effort to give back to his homeland, as his late mother wished, UNT head tennis coach Sujay Lama directs Project Nepal, a charity organization that raises money to sponsor orphaned chil-dren so that they may attend school in Lama’s hometown of Kathmandu, Nepal.

“Not everyone is as fortu-nate as I am to leave the country, get a great educa-tion and get the experiences I’ve had,” Lama said. “We are one of the poorest countries in the world, so the best way to give back is to help the young people because they are the future.”

According to the organiza-tion’s website, in 2002, when Lama went back to Nepal, he found that his sister, Poonam, and his father, Hem, had started a small school in their home and had sponsored five orphans to attend. Poonam named it the Nabha Deepti School.

On that same trip, while out jogging one morning, Lama saw the children holding hands and walking several miles to the school. Lama said the children, with huge smiles on their faces, looked up at him and said, “Good morning, sir.”

Lama calls that encounter a defining moment in his life.

Feeling the need to make an impact in the children’s lives, he founded Project Nepal and began reaching out to get sponsors. Two weeks

On the strength of dominant pitching performances, the UNT (18-19-1) softball team and the Texas State Bobcats (25-15) split Wednesday’s doubleheader with both teams earning six-run wins at Lovelace Stadium.

The Mean Green is 1-2 against the Bobcats this season.

Wednesday’s doubleheader, Texas State senior pitcher Chandler Hall led the Bobcats to a 6-0 win, holding the Mean Green to five hits and zero runs on her way to her 15th complete game of the season.

later, he had gained more than 15 sponsors.

After a while, they decided to convert the school to educate only the underprivileged kids, drawing from three area orphanages.

“At our height in 2008, we had 72 students, kindergarten through fifth grade,” Project Nepal communications director Dr. Ed Kellerman said. “It was a very vibrant program.”

Last year, the Nabha Deepti School was forced to close its doors because Lama’s sister, who was the principal, had become legally blind, and his father, who is in his early 80s, was aging.

Lama did not let that stop him from achieving his goal and reaching the children. Project Nepal continued to sponsor the children of the Prayas Nepal

Orphanage to attend the school that is directly across the street.

Lama’s wife, Lynn, is Project Nepal’s IT coordinator and one of the organization’s four board members.

“I just provide whatever support I can to him. Sometimes it gets tough raising money,” she said. “You see Sujay is very passionate about tennis, and he puts that same passion into Project Nepal.”

He plans to continue his project until he reaches his final goal.

“My ultimate goal will be to build a really big school and a big hospital because the health care there [in Nepal] is terrible,” Lama said.

game.“We just weren’t feeling right

out there on the field,” senior first baseman Maddelyn Fraley said. “It was really uncharacter-istic of us.”

Opportunities for the UNT offense didn’t come along often. The Mean Green had just three players reach second base.

The bottom of the sixth inning was the best chance the Mean Green had to produce runs. With two outs and the bases loaded, UNT sopho-more catchers Sarah McGann and Ashley McCarroll struck out back-to-back, ending the inning.

“You know, sometimes you come out and if you don’t have complete and total focus, you have games like this,” head coach T.J. Hubbard said.

Game TwoIn the second game, the Mean

Green flipped the script on the Bobcats for its own six-run win. With dominating pitching by

sophomore Ashley Kirk and the power hitting of Fraley, UNT won 7-1.

After shutting down the Florida Atlantic Owls this past weekend, Kirk came out dealing once again, holding Texas State to one run on seven hits with eight strikeouts.

“I honestly don’t think it is anything that I’ve done,” Kirk said. “The defense has been behind me 100 percent of the time. For them to come out and do that just gives me freedom in the circle, so I give them the credit.”

Fraley led the way for UNT at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, a three-run home run and five of the seven runs batted in. She now leads the Mean Green in batting average, home runs, slugging percentage and runs batted in.

The Mean Green will return to action this Saturday as it travels to Monroe, La., to take on the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks for a three-game series.

“...Sujay is very passionate about tennis, and he puts that same passion into Project Nepal.”

His time in the 400-meter hurdles at the Spring Classic was also good enough to break the stadium record at Fouts Field.

became eligible to join the team in December, Jones and Williams became academ-ically ineligible, making it impossible for the team’s top three scorers to be on the court at the same time.

Last year, just the pres-ence of Mitchell got a fanbase that struggles to get behind its teams to come out every game night and average an attendance of more than 4,000 people.

If all goes well next year, the Mean Green could find itself with 25 wins, a Sun Belt Conference title and a 2013 NCA A Tournament appear-ance.

The success in the season will bring even more fans to the Super Pit and more nationa l coverage, and it should help Mitchell improve his NBA Draft stock.

Most people don’t want to see the day when the school’s most prominent athlete leaves for the pros. Personally, I can’t wait. Mitchell still needs this season to let his game mature. He needs to create a back to the basket post game and to

refine his face-up game. W hen he f ine-tunes his

game, he will be a NBA Draft lottery pick, and I would help him pack his bags.

W hen he’s drafted, UNT will become a destination for some of the best players in the nation, particularly in Texas.

Men’s basketball head coach Johnny Jones has a lready created a huge success out of nothing when he joined UNT, and now, Denton could become a preferable destina-tion for top tier recruits.

Next season, t he Mean Green can be the No. 1 team in the state of Texas.

The No. 31 UNT men’s golf team put together its best performance of the season at the Woodlands All-American Intercollegiate Tuesday, finishing one stroke behind No. 10 Arkansas for second place. Junior Curtis Donahoe led the way, recording the lowest score for a Mean Green golfer in 14 years with a 9-under 207. Who were the last Mean Green golfers to shoot a 207?

Answer: Les Phillips and Matt Pruitt each shot a 207 at the Pacific Invitational in 1998.

Mean Green Trivia

Zach claussenStaff Writer

As the boat motors die down and the water begins to lose its ripple, bait is forced onto the metallic hooks of fishing poles, and casts whip through the air as the sun beams down on another eight-hour day at the lake. This is the life of a member of the UNT Bass Fishing club.

The club was started in 2005 as a general fishing club, until 2009 when the club was reor-ganized and became the UNT Bass Fishing club. The club, created primarily for tourna-ment fishing, was forced to cease operations in 2010 due to organizational problems.

Mechanical and energy engineering senior William Cartwright didn’t want to see the club sink and decided to take over as president in 2011.

“I took over as president and wanted to implement a bunch of new programs to increase the diversity and the aware-ness of the club,” Cartwright said.

On March 23, undeclared sophomore Sea n Watson and hospitality management senior Jesse Chambers each

The only money the club receives comes from indi-v idua l donors a nd spon-sors BE A R Ma rine, Lucas Lures and the UNT Student Gover n ment A ssociat ion. Costs for keeping up a boat are more than $4,000, Campbell said. For non-boaters – those who don’t own their own boat – costs can exceed $500 per year.

Mitchell’s return also helps UNT off the courtBret t MedeirosSenior Staff Writer

On Monday, all of Denton collectively took a deep breath and a well-deserved sigh of relief, because last year’s Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year Tony Mitchell announced he is returning to the Super Pit for his sopho-more season.

Mitchell is without ques-tion the face of Mean Green at hlet ics, but what some people don’t realize is that the effect he will have on next season’s team could be monu-mental.

Look at the starting lineup. As much as current seniors Tyler Hall, Kedrick Hogans and Alonzo Edwards gave to this team, their playing time was limited last season.

Mitchell’s return should be frightening enough as it is, but one can’t help but wonder how great Mitchell and freshmen guards Jordan Williams and Chris Jones can be together.

Club Profile placed in Cabela’s Big Bass Bash Tournament. Watson’s 3.94-pound fish was good for a fourth place finish, while Chambers’ 4.75-pound fish earned him second place.

Cartwright, now vice pres-ident and three-year club veteran, created a YouTube channel t it led “Collegiate Match Fishing,” which delves into bass fishing competitions and what it’s like spending the majority of the day out on a boat. Cartwright also created a website for the UNT Bass Fishing Club and began a partnership with KIDFISH. The partnership allows club members to supervise and teach kids how to become better fishermen.

The club competes year-round in nine to 12 tourna-ments but focuses primarily on the Forrest L. Wood regional tournaments. Most tourna-ments are comprised of schools around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, as well as Stephen F. Austin University and Texas. Lakes Lewisville, Ray Roberts, Grapevine and Lavon have all been fished by the club this season.

The club is currently ranked No. 16 by the Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship in the

Christian school wrongly fired teacher

Bumper stickers do nothing but

Do you think Tony Mitchell made the

right choice by stay-ing at UNT for another season?

“I think another year of school will be good for him in terms of

advancing his education.”

“Not exactly. The world is bigger than UNT, and he

could benefit his family more from money he’d earn doing

something else.”

“Yeah. I think it’s a good thing choosing education over an

NBA career just in case he gets hurt.”

With its recent decision to fire volley-ball coach and science teacher Cathy Samford because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy Tuesday, Heritage Christian Academy of Rockwall, Texas, has estab-lished itself as an enclave of narrow-mindedness and inconsistency.

Though HCA claims that teachers in a Christian school are ministers and thus must adhere to a strict code of conduct, Samford is challenging the firing. The legality of the issue falls into a gray area. It is against the law to fire a person for a pregnancy or pregnancy-related medical condition. However, HCA believes its code of conduct means it bypasses that employment law.

While legally what this school did is

questionable, the real issue lies within the hypocrisy that this policy repre-sents from a moral standpoint.

In what way is it “Christian” to fire a soon-to-be mother and force her to go through pregnancy with no income or insurance?

Probably in the same way it was “Christian” for the Pharisees to call for the stoning of an adulterous woman to test Jesus’ interpretation of biblical law.

Jesus told the Pharisees, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” That’s an important lesson that’s gone completely ignored in a Christian society where looking right is more important than acting right.

HCA Headmaster Dr. Ron Taylor told WFAA.com, “How’s it going to look to a little fourth grade girl that sees she’s pregnant and she’s not married?” If Taylor and HCA truly believe in their own Christian values, then under-standing and forgiveness of sin – a large part of Christian doctrine – should be of higher priority than their own image.

Furthermore, this statement from Taylor exemplifies the sexist nature of this firing. A rule that could only be enforced against one sex or the other is by nature sexist. So what if a male teacher had impregnated a woman out of wedlock? The only difference in the case would be his ability to hide his actions because they don’t physically

manifest in front of administrators. They would have no way of enforcing this particular standard of conduct for males, and that says a lot about the practicality of this particular rule.

Since being fired, Samford has tried mediation with the school, which yielded no result. The school also told WFAA that it doesn’t plan on settling the case.

And so the responsibility for affecting positive change falls on the shoulders of Samford, who can and should fight for her rights as an employee and a mother, and to the rest of us, who cannot let injustices like this go ignored for the risk that they’ll continue in the future.

“Meat is murder.” “Change: how’s that working out for you?” “I support a baby’s right to choose.”

Just a sampling of common topics and phrases designed to fit on a 12 by 3 inch piece of adhesive, these very complex and personal issues are often accompanied by severe photographs intended to suddenly alter the belief system of the person reading it. This superior mindset implies that the general masses are not as educated or do not possess as well-developed an opinion as the owner of said bumper sticker. Another, more idealistic view is that those who stamp their cars with advertising ploys believe they are advocating and truly influencing those who tail their cars trying to read the tiny font.

Bumper stickers often do not make an impact on the actual cause repre-sented. Unless the owner makes frequent donations to a cause not monitored by a non-corrupt govern-ment or donates valuable time and skills to directly help someone in need, these stickers are sensational-ized views designed to stir up passion, ignoring logic.

For the money it costs to hire a designer, an advertising or marketing firm, a printer and a distributer, the organization behind these stickers could have donated an effective amount of cash to its own cause. While some organizations will donate part of the proceeds of these sticker purchases to the cause, it’s still only part. Donating the entire amount to a direct cause is much more effective.

Beyond money and bumper

stickers, take for example the social media campaign for KONY 2012. The YouTube video advocating against child soldiers is heartbreaking, and everyone wants to make sure chil-dren are safe and sound at home. The problem, though, was the lack of education surrounding Ugandan politics and Invisible Children, and the effectiveness that a YouTube video and a changed profile picture has on a young boy being snatched from his home.

The issue is not supporting an orga-nization or having opinions, it’s how those beliefs are lived out, along the lines of walking the walk instead of just talking. The issue lies in using a slogan and photograph chosen by a focus group in order to make the public feel as if they are doing some degree of good. Truth be told, no one likes to be told by the back windshield of a dusty Explorer that their lifestyle choices are wrong.

An estimated eight percent of Denton county residents live below the poverty line, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

However, today marks Denton’s first “Day of Concern for the Hungry,” as declared by Mayor Mark Burroughs. The idea behind the day is to make Denton more aware of the needs of these people who are impoverished or homeless.

As the city begins to do more for those in poverty, so should the students of UNT.

The percentage of young adults who volunteer decreased from 22 percent in 2009 to 21.9 percent in 2010, according to the Corporation for National and Community Service. While this is not an astronomical percentage, it does point to a trend that college students are becoming less civically engaged.

As members of the Denton commu-nity, however temporary that may be, it is important for students to be aware of issues such as homelessness and poverty, and in turn help do something about it. Exploring and working with issues such as hunger, poverty and homelessness helps students gain a broader perspective on not only how such problems affect these individuals, but society as a whole.

It is difficult to think of a better time to volunteer than in college. Most students do not live a typical eight-to-five lifestyle, leaving plenty of time for them to be involved in something that matters to them or to the community at large.

While Denton does not have a long-term shelter for homeless individ-

uals, the local Salvation Army offers temporary shelter, and organizations like Our Daily Bread and the Denton Community Food Center help supply meals for these individuals.

Each of these organizations provides opportunities for students to get involved and help with this increasing problem the city is facing.

It is easy to drop a few coins in the red buckets outside of stores during Christmas time. It is easy to donate a few leftover cans of corn after Thanksgiving. However, hunger, home-lessness and poverty are issues that never go away. They are not seasonal. Therefore students’ awareness and active engagement in solving them should not be.

Confucius once said, “In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of.” It is important for UNT students to help make sure that poverty in Denton is no longer some-thing it is ashamed of.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. 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
