Putting an end to UNT’s spring schedule, the Green team defeated the White team 27-17 in the Mean Green foot-ball team’s annual Green/White Spring game Saturday at C.H. Collins Stadium.
The Green team kept the W h ite tea m scoreless, as White was given a 17-0 lead before the game started.
The first and fourth team offense and defense made up the Green team, while the White team consisted of the second and third team offense and defense.
Saturday’s contest show-cased strong performances by two players coming off injury — redshirt sophomore quar-terback Derek Thompson and redshirt senior receiver Mike Outlaw.
Thompson, who missed nine games last season with a broken leg, shined for the Green team Saturday. He went 15 of 20 for 181 yards and two touchdowns.
“I missed being out on the field,” Thompson said. “It was a long recovery. But I’m back, I’m healthy and I’m ready to move forward.”
After sitting out the 2010 season because of an injury, Outlaw hauled in six catches for 56 yards for Green.
A l l-con ference r u n n i ng back, senior Lance Dunbar,
was sidelined because of a turf toe injury. Dunbar is one of 14 players who missed Saturday’s scrimmage because of inju-ries.
Head coach Dan McCarney said he expects the injured athletes to be back for the team’s season-opener against Florida International Aug. 4.
“If you do that, we have a chance to be successful and really improve,” McCarney said. “If you don’t, then we’ll continue to be a punching bag for the other teams on the schedule.”
Sophomore transfer quar-
terback Brent Osborn strug-g led for t he W hite tea m, completing five of 19 passes for 19 yards and one inter-ception.
Sophomore running back Brandin Byrd, the third-string running back last season, played with the f irst team Saturday. Byrd had 16 carries for 75 yards.
“That wil l take pressure off [Derek] because all the different backs have some-thing different to the table,” Byrd.

Thyroid cancer on the rise BY NICOLE BALDERASStaff Writer
Thyroid cancer, which is three times more common in women than men, is now the fastest growing cancer in America — though not because more people are getting it, experts say.
Advancements in technology have allowed doctors to better diagnose the cancer than ever before, and while thyroid cancer has a 95 percent survival rating, doctors said regular testing is a life-saving preventative
measure everyone can take. “There has been an increase
in doctors checking, and more people are choosing to get tested,” said Dr. Carolyn Garner, a general surgeon at Denton Regional.
In 2007, more than 434,000 Americans had thyroid cancer — about 338,000 were women.
“I’ve learned that we have to be so much more proactive in our health,” said Stephanie Durate, a thyroid cancer survivor. “I used to rely on everything my doctor said.”
Part of being able to detect thyroid cancer is paying atten-tion to simple things like a prolonged sore throat that isn’t accompanied by a full-blown cold, or in Durate’s case, pain every time she swallowed.
“It got to the point where I knew something was wrong,” Durate said. “At first [doctors] didn’t think it was cancer, but after some testing, they found out that it was.”

Two UNT students were recently named recipients of a prestigious fellowship that will pay for them to conduct research while they earn grad-uate degrees.
Jody Huddleston, an environ-mental science graduate student, and Rebecca Weber, a chem-istry graduate student, received Nation Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, awarded annually to students seeking research-focused grad-uate degrees in the science, social science, technology, engineering or mathematics fields. Huddleston and Weber will each get a $30,000 stipend every year for up to three years.
“The stipend lets me focus on research as much as possible,” said Weber, a computational chemist who said she’s working on a specific composite method to model large molecules with more accurate results than other methods.
Weber said this could be applied to pharmaceuticals. If a company wants to know the side effects of a new product, Weber said she could run virtual tests to identify side effects without the use of human testing.
“That will be way in the future, though,” Weber said. “We have to start in baby steps. We are walking, but we aren’t running yet.”
Weber said she works on a small scale.
“I deal with two or three atoms of a molecule,” she said. “It’s more accurate the smaller you go.”
Weber applied for the stipend in November, and she didn’t have much hope.
“My professor told me it was a long shot,” said Weber, who received the acceptance letter last week. “I was just shocked and surprised. I read it several times to make sure it was right.”
Weber plans to graduate in four or five years, and said it will be great not having to worry about a paycheck.
“All I have to do is research my little heart out,” she said.
Huddleston said she researches medical geography, a field she said she didn’t plan on studying when she first came to UNT in 1987.
“It was kind of one of those long-and-winding-roads situ-ations,” said Huddleston, who was a jazz studies student before deciding it wasn’t for her and entering the work force. She came back to UNT in 2006, this time to research diseases.
Medical geography is study of how the location and way people live affect their interactions with diseases.
T he Nat iona l Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program gives out 2,000 fellowships annually.
“We usually have about 12,000 applicants,” said Rashida Johnson from the National Science Foundation. “The program is to encourage graduates in math and science fields to continue their research.”
Johnson said since the stim-ulus program in 2009, they have been able to give out twice as many fellowships.

Because t hy roid ca ncer risks are elevated by radia-tion exposure, causes have been linked to such things as not having the thyroid area covered during routine dental x-rays by a lead apron and not having a thyroid guard during a mammogram.
“Yea rs ago, t he dose of radiation [from x-rays] was higher,” said Leslie Koberna of the dental hygiene faculty at Texas Woman’s University.
“The technology has really changed.”
W it h cha nges i n tech-nology, there is less risk of overexposure to radiat ion than tradit iona l ly, though it is stil l suggested to take proper precautions.
“The talk is you don’t really need the lead apron,” Koberna said. “But I will keep using it. We teach our students to use a lead apron, which has a thyroid collar attached to it.”
Though Koberna doesn’t believe technology’s current x-ray radiation amounts will lead to thyroid damage, she
said she believes in keeping her patients at ease.
“If you’re using a proper cone [for x-rays], then it won’t cause damage,” Koberna said. “But
it makes the patient feel better to use the apron.”
The r isk becomes more serious, t hough, for t hose w ith frequent exposure to radiation.
“Re a l l y, t he r i sk i s i f you’re radiated all the time,” Koberna said. “We do keep track of people’s radiation
history for this reason.”Because 75 to 85 percent
of all thyroid problems affect women, it is important to give simple self exams, and even make sure doctors check during seasona l ma mmo-grams or regular physicals.
“It is the only cancer not even ma naged by oncolo-gists,” said Garner. “A cure was found 100 yea rs ago. People just need to under-sta nd what it is a nd ta ke simple health steps. W hen they go to the dentist for an x-ray, they should ask them about it.”
“A cure was found 100 years ago. People just need to understand what
it is and take simple health steps.”—Dr. Carolyn Garner,

For Lyndsey Rieple, what started out as making crafts out of bott le caps and old photographs as a child has turned into a future in jewelry making.
Rieple, a jewelry and metal smit hing senior, sa id she found her calling after she started creating jewelry out of leather scraps, buttons and lace when she worked at a costume shop in upstate New York.
“I’ve always had a niche for making things,” she said.
After two years, she said she was bored with studying fine arts in New York, so she contacted Harlan Butt of the UNT visual arts and design faculty, one of the top enam-ellists in the world, for advice about pursuing a career in jewelry making.
“I wanted to come [to UNT] for the program. The professors are amazing,” Rieple said.
A history of creativityRieple gets most of her mate-
rials for free because she uses her father’s scrap leather, wood materials and deer antlers to ma ke earrings, neck laces, bracelets, belts, rings, hair-pieces a nd brooches, she said.
Her father also bought her all of the tools she would need to make jewelry, she said.
“I think my dad was really proud because he’s a craftsman and works with his hands constantly,” Rieple said. “He sees wood kind of [like] how I see materials.”
Her father, Dan, uses old firewood to make and design furniture, while her mother is a n a r t ist a nd teaches computer art to middle school students.
“My mom is a fine artist and my dad is a furniture maker, so inevitably, I’m an artist,” Rieple said.

Without paying a dime, College of Music students can use the university’s state-of-the-art recording studio to help them record high-quality work.
The studio is located in the general access computer lab of the main Music Building, said Scott Krejci, the studio’s manager. The studio’s engi-neers record audition mate-r i a l s , c h a m b e r g r ou p s , sa mple-based projects or educational recordings for the university.
“Our facilities are rather small, but we make ever y effort to assist music students with their particular projects, and to provide experience to our music students interested in engineering by recording the events using industry-standard equipment,” said Krejci.
Essentially, the studio acts as a facility for music students to hone their skills, said Brian Hernandez, a studio engineer and a composition graduate student.
“It’s a great facility to have, because you’re not going to have very many places like t his,” he sa id. “We have top-end equipment and engi-neers who can assist students with recording their songs and compositions.”
The studio opened in 2008, said Hernandez. It was once open to all students regard-less of majors however, it is strictly open to music majors now because of policy changes
and budget, he said. “The rules are constantly
cha ng i ng i n re ga rd s to funding,” Hernandez said. “We used to be f u nded directly by the university and music school, and now we are just funded by the music school.”
W h i le t he st ud io ha s recorded a variety of musi-
cians for various university-related purposes, it has also recorded plenty of local bands in the past.
“There are tons of bands that have come through the st ud io,” Her na ndez sa id. “We’ve had so many that I haven’t been able to keep up with them.”
When the studio initially opened, it would have about 20 sessions a week, he said. A recording session could take up to several hours. He said it gave the engineers plenty of experience with a range of genres. However, the draw-back was that the quality of the music was “hit or miss,” because the studio would get non-music majors who would want to use the studio by their ow n means, said Hernandez.
Craig Flentge, a graduate student who is current ly working on his master’s of music performance for trom-bone, said the studio should be open to non-music majors despite the setbacks.
“I thought it was open to everybody, but it’s kind of a fine line between what they should do,” he said.
Flentge said he understood the amount of work an engi-neer needs to take during a recording session, but that it should also not be so exclu-sive.
“If someone wants to record their demo and they’re well rehearsed, it should be open to non-music majors, although music majors should be a priority.”
However Hernandez said it is more worthwhile for the studio to work with music students that are often more prepared t han non-music majors who’d take advantage of the situation.
“We l ike to hear songs that are well crafted,” said Hernandez.

‘Industry-standard’ recording studio assists music students

For 51 years, Voertman’s Student Art Competition has given College of Art and Design students an opportu-nity to showcase artwork.
This year, the UNT Art Gallery is highlighting 33 distinctly detailed art designs — Zachary White, a fashion design senior, for his apparel design titled “Undies, Undies, Undies;” Teresa Munisteri, a photography graduate student, for her photographs titled “Rope Swing” and “The Clearing;” and Cecila Shikle, a photography graduate student, for her photographs titled “Nancy” and “Sarah.” Students can view the art pieces until April 30.
“The annual Voertman ex h ibit ion prov ide s a professional opportunity for students to enter a juried competition, which they can and will do outside of CVAD as practicing artists,” said Tracee Robertson, the Art Gallery director, in an email. “It’s a real world experience for CVAD students.”
The art exhibition ranges from a towering, striped
pink painted ceramic sculp-ture that sits in the front of the gallery ,titled “Big Pink,” to a silver gelatin black-and-white print titled “Conversations with Chairs.”
Shikle, one of two $1,000 prizewinners, said the idea behind her two photographs is an investigation of how each person keeps their private space different. This is her first year entering.
She said her cash prize is going toward a $5,000 Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera. The price includes the flash, 2 lenses and a camera bag.
“I was actually hesitant on entering,” Shikle said. “But a good thing to know is to know the jurors when you enter shows like this.”
There are new jurors every year and they judge based on what they believe is most successful. This year’s juror was Peter Doroshenko, the exec-utive director at the Dallas Contemporary.
Doroshenko sifted through 135 student entries, totaling 372 pieces of work, before whittling it down to 33.
Voertman general manager and UNT alumna Michelle Dellis said she noticed most of the selected pieces were photography-based. She said it’s beneficial for students to take advantage of the compe-tition because they can get great exposure and learn from a different experience.
“Classes are great…but when it comes down to outside the university, I think it gives you a snapshot of what it’s like [in the real world],” said Dellis.

Rose said the coffee shop and art gallery’s main focus is to help out other artists.
“My on ly t r ue require-ment is that you are serious about your work,” Rose said. “If you’re serious about your work, t hen we’l l let you show.”
Rose said that people like the jewelry because it wasn’t made with typical materials and it was also priced well, ranging from around $15 to $30.

Playing at the Hawkeye-TaylorMade Inv itat iona l, the UNT men’s golf team found itself facing a chal-lenging course, 10 oppo-nents and Mother Nature this weekend.
The Mean Green braved snowy conditions in Iowa to secure fifth place with a final score of 23-over-par 599. UNT finished the regular season with eight Top-5 finishes in nine tournaments.
“I believe we played in some of the most extreme conditions these guys have ever seen,” said head coach Brad Stracke in an email statement. “When we started play on Saturday, [the wind] was blowing [more than] 30 mph a nd [it was] 35 degrees.”
Snow cuts weekend shortThe tournament originally
comprised of three rounds of 18-hole golf, but was cut to two rounds after the 11-team field awoke to snow Saturday morning.
None of the 11 competing teams finished under par.
“The conditions made it challenging, but we all knew that coming in,” said redshirt sophomore Ty Spinella. “The snow was fun, no different t ha n ra i n except bei ng colder, of course.”
No. 11-ranked Iowa, the event host, claimed the tour-nament title with a collective score of 13-over-par 589.
Three Top-20 finishesSophomore Carlos Ortiz
earned his third Top-3 finish of the season, placing third with a final score of 1-under-par 143. Ortiz was one stroke away from tying for first place.
Stracke said he felt Ortiz played “some unbelievable golf” considering the weather conditions.
Spinella and sophomore Rodol fo Ca zaubon a lso finished in the Top 20 on the leader board.
Spinella tied Kansas’ Chris Gilbert for 15th place with a final score of 6-over-par 150.
Cazaubon, who shot an 8-over-par 80 on Day 1, recov-ered with an even-par 72 in the final round to tie nine others for 20th place.
“The course was a good test,” said Spinella. “You needed to drive [the ball] straight and put it on the right spots on the greens, because the greens had a lot of slope and had a fast speed to them.”
Charlotte’s Andy Sajevic and Iowa’s Vince India, who is ranked by Golfweek.com as the eighth-best collegiate men’s golfer, tied for first. Each finished with a two-round score of 2-under-par 142.
The Hawkeye was UNT’s final regular season tour-nament before next week’s S u n B e l t C o n f e r e n c e Championship, which takes plac e Monday t h roug h Wednesday.

With a limited amount of indoor courts available, the teams played t he singles matches before the doubles matches until UNT secured the win with four singles points.
The win is nothing new for UNT, who has defeated MTSU in six of the teams’ last eight meetings.
“Everyone in the lineup except me was on the team last year,” junior Nadia Lee said. “They all have the hunger to repeat [as Sun Belt cham-pions], and I want a piece of that pie too.”

Cutting from ESL will hurt Texans
Editorial
If the Texas legislators believe children are the future, they have a funny way of showing it.
Despite the fact that most children in Texas schools are Hispanic, the Legislature is considering taking away programs and resources children need to be successful. It’s trying to dig out of the $25 billion deficit by cutting from education and other public services.
The Editorial Board sees the potential cuts to English as a Second Language and English Language Learner programs as devastating for the state’s long-term well-being.
This school year, 50.2 percent of school-aged children in Texas are Hispanic, and that percentage is projected to increase in the coming years, state demographers say.
Not every Hispanic student speaks Spanish as their primary language, but many do. About 800,000 students are in ESL programs around the state, and many of them are Hispanic.
Cutting out these programs means those children would fall further behind in their comprehension of the infor-mation they are taught. Instead of receiving help learning a language they don’t know, they will be forced into a learning environment where they don’t understand what they are being taught.
A smaller percentage of Hispanic students went on to college in 2007 than white and black students. That was before the budget cuts were an issue.
Taking away textbooks and teachers who make the information click with the children is like cutting their legs out from under them. Without a good foundation, they will never be able to stand out in business or other high-paying avenues. Then, if or when the children grad-uate from high school, the Legislature plans on making financial aid more difficult to get because of funding cuts for both financial aid and individual universities.
That kind of cutting will hurt Texas in a lot of ways. The children who now make up the school system
will be the future voters, educators, business owners and workers. With a thorough education, an individual is able to make more money over his or her lifetime, and he or she is more likely to contribute to society.
The best way for children to learn is through references to their culture. Eliminating those resources and taking away qualified individuals who want to help the children succeed will put them further behind.
Then, when they have children, those kids will start off with fewer resources. A lack of education doesn’t just affect the current generation — it also hurts the ones that follow.
Texas legislators need to think about more than the ballot box when they make their decisions in Austin. They need to think about the future of all Texans, not just the ones who look like them.
For t he past week, my students have been working on opinion writing. We started small — a letter to the editor about an on-campus issue — and from there built our skills with practice editorials about reducing theatre programs and mandating cafeteria food school lunches, until the unit culminated today in the final project: a self-chosen, indi-vidually researched edito-rial, based on reliable and ba la nced ev idence which st rong ly suppor ted t hei r stance.
To start out, we covered a white board with suggestions of things long banned from polite conversations. They picked topics and started to write. They realized quickly t hat t h is whole opin ion-writing thing is harder than it looks.
Some students wrote about lowering the drinking age and others about keeping it the same, some wrote about standing up to bullies, and even more w rote leng t hy articles in favor of the legal-
ization of marijuana or the necessity of equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.
Rega rd less of topic or
stance, the stories were well-researched and thoughtful. They understood their topics and defined their beliefs in a way they had never taken the time to before. The project led to fantastically controversial, levelheaded and informed conversations about politics, religion and human rights that spilled out of the class-room and worked their way past the bells into hallways and lunchtimes.
It got me think ing that everyone should have to put their feelings into writing,
at least once, even if they crinkle it up right after and throw it away.
I know, easy for me to say, I
write an opinion piece every week, and I know that I fuss about talking about current events, writing your senator and using proper grammar (note the lack of an e. It’s never, ever grammer). But I really do think that it makes a difference to write down, prove and defend your opin-ions in writing, even if it’s just on the back of the bag your Whataburger came in. Actually, too many stripes. Sonic? You catch the drift.
I won’t even put a time limit on it; no preachy “this week”
statement will boom down at you from the top of this soapbox (do it soon! !), but you should try it.
P ick somet h i ng you’re pa s sionate about , t h i n k about your arguments and the superiority of your stance and write it up. Nothing firms up beliefs like defining and defending them, and with them on the forefront of your mind, they might start a good conversation. In fact, send them my way.
I’d love to read them.

Clarify, defend your beliefs in writing
Right rejects reproduction rightsIf you’ve followed the news
recently, you may know that a federal government shutdown was averted only by a last-minute budget deal between President Barack Obama and Republicans in Congress.
What you may not know is that the reason negoti-ations went down to the wire was Republican insis-tence on defunding Planned Parenthood. Thankfully, this was ultimately stricken from the deal, but it is still striking that Republicans were willing to shut down the government over it.
Worse, their fervent opposi-tion to Planned Parenthood is filled with lies and misinforma-tion about what the organiza-tion does. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., claimed on the Senate f loor that “90 percent” of the services Planned Parenthood provides are abortions. In truth, the number is just 3 percent (Kyl’s staff later laughably claimed his figure was “not intended to be a factual statement”). The other 97 percent of its services
are preventative care, and federal law already prevents any federal money it is given from being used for abortion.
Unfortunately, the right-wing crusade against Planned Parenthood and other family planning providers — public-health departments, commu-nity health centers, inde-pendent clinics and other nonprofits — is not over.
I n Tex a s, t he budget recently passed by state House Republicans drastically cuts family planning money by two-thirds. Currently, almost 300,000 women receive not just birth control and annual gyne-cological exams, but STD tests and screenings for cervical cancer, breast cancer and diabetes through family plan-ning programs. But hundreds of thousands — many of whom are between the ages of 18 and 35 — will likely lose access due to these cuts. While conser-vative radio and (soon to be former) TV personality Glenn Beck suggested those who go to places like Planned Parenthood
are “hookers,” it is actually where many women go to get basic health care services.
Also, “pro-life” groups are pushing lawmakers to keep Planned Parenthood clinics and other independent family planning centers from partici-pating in the Women’s Health Program, which uses Medicaid money to provide birth control, healthcare screenings and annua l exams to low-in-come women. Not only does the program provide needed services, but it saves money because it provides contra-ception to Medicaid-eligible women, preventing unplanned pregnancies and, with it, higher health costs Medicaid would have to cover.
This brings me to what makes the least sense from these crusaders: If you want to reduce abortion, you should support reducing unplanned pregnancies.
Cutting or eliminating family planning programs will lead to less prevention through the use of contraceptives and thus
more abortions. It would seem that many of these conser-vative lawmakers are not just against the organization Planned Parenthood but the idea of planning parenthood itself. The idea that women might have any control over reproduction through birth control is what really offends them.
Thankfully, there has been some pushback. State sena-tors Jane Nelson (who repre-sents part of Denton County) a nd Robert Deuel l, bot h Republica ns who oppose abortion rights, have said these cuts are too deep and they want family planning funding restored in confer-ence committee.
Please write to your legis-lators and let them know that you support this effort. You can find out who represents you at www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/

“What do you think about ESL being cut in public schools, even though half of the
students are Hispanic?”
“Sounds like a really horrible idea. Their
education is going to fall behind, and students aren’t going to understand what
they are being taught.”
“It frustrates me that Texas is growing but they are decreasing funding for ESL. I’d rather pay taxes than
have uneducated kids.”
“That just takes away privileges from students
who are already at a disadvantage. That’s
directly targeting a certain people. How do they expect
them to learn English?”
“It got me thinking that everyone should have to put their feelings
into writing, at least once, event if they crinkle it up right

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.
The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
