Last semester, UNT became the first public university to offer a degree in aviation.

This semester, students are starting a flight team to further their skills. The group wants to teach students the basics of flying and logistics so they can be more knowledgeable.

“If there’s a solid leadership and knowledge of aircraft, the more prepared they are and can propose it to us, the more likely we are to start the club,” said Doug Welch, the director of Risk Management Services.

The flight team is still figuring out when they will meet, said Andrew Brown, a business junior.

Members are currently working on turning the flight team into an athletic club, said Alex Scheidel, the vice-president of the organi-zation and an aviation and logis-tics senior.

“We barely started last month. We just got paperwork through sports clubs [in the Recreational Sports department] to get funding from the school,” Brown said. “If the school doesn’t want to take the liabilities, we’re going to be self-funded.”

The cost of renting an airplane is about $100 per hour with fuel included, Brown said.

Welch said he believes a lot of research is going to be required to operate a successful organi-zation.

“We will see if there are any Federal Aviation Administration provisions or requirements, and

A veteran UNT professor was recently selected to lead a national organization for broad-cast educators.

Sam Sauls of the radio, televi-sion and film faculty was elected president for the 2010-2011 term of The Broadcast Education Association, an organization that includes more than 1,600 students and professors from 275 universities.

Sauls, a BEA member since 1994 and the association’s current vice president, will be officially named president in April at the organization’s annual convention. Sauls said he has served in every officer position since 1997, so the pres-idency was “a natural progres-sion.”

“I first got into it as an outlet to present at national conferences,” Sauls said. “It’s a great outlet to promote your own academic work.”

The annual convention, held April 9-13, will offer more than 200 sessions during the confer-ence, which incorporate work-shops for undergraduate students, graduate students and profes-sors from all over the country. Saul’s presidency will be officially debuted at the conference.

“As president, you work with headquarter staff to ensure day-to-day functions are carried out, make sure the long-term goals are carried out, and ensure member-

what other schools have done, and see where we can go from there,” he said.

Scheidel said he will be the second person to graduate with an aviation degree.

One of the group’s goals, besides getting support from the university, is to show people that flying can be safe, Scheidel said.

“It is difficult right now. There

are a lot of misconceptions about aviation. More people get in car accidents than airplanes,” he said.

Hillary Wells, the graduate assistant for sports clubs, said she feels that, with students who are motivated and determined to carry through with the proce-dures, the organization will be approved.

A m i na Ha rdaw ay, a n

accounting junior, said she thinks earning an aviation degree would be interesting.

“It’s cool to a certain extent. I’d enjoy being a passenger,” she said. “I’d like to learn myself.”

If the f light team cannot get the resources to practice flying, it will work on ground training to compete in the National Intercollegiate Flying Association, which takes place at

Ohio State University this year, Scheidel said.

“It’s really to further the education of f lying among students. There is a lot involved in flying, not just taking off. There are a lot of calculations and air craft identification,” Scheidel said.

More students enrolled, transferred to and stayed at UNT this spring than ever before.

UNT enrollment grew by more than 4.6 percent from last year, bringing the total enroll-ment to 34,155 students.

Contributing to that growth is a 4.9 percent increase in retention compared to Spring 2010, which means more students are continuing their studies at a higher level. The university also enrolled 1,630 new transfer students this spring, an amount UNT offi-cials said was greater than expected.

“It’s an exciting uptick,” said Troy Johnson, the vice provost for enrollment. “It indicates the quality of our academic programs.”

Johnson said UNT’s reputa-tion is improving, and students have taken notice that it is a quality institution. Students are enrolling at UNT because it is one of the most compre-hensive universities in the state, and because UNT has the ability to award more than $300 million in financial aid and scholarships every year, Johnson said.

The increased amount of transfer students who enrolled this spring was larger than in

previous years. UNT is the top transfer student destina-tion in the state and the fourth largest in the country, a posi-tion Johnson said UNT has held for many years. Transfer students come to UNT in such large numbers because of the infrastructure the university has in place to help ease the transition, Johnson said.

“When that environment and structure exists, it makes it easy for students to enroll,” Johnson said.

Yet, he said the most impor-tant increase UNT has seen this spring is growth in reten-tion rates. That figure, he said, shows the university is on the right track.

“It’s not just about enroll-ment,” Johnson said. “It’s about students completing degrees, whether it’s freshmen or transfer students.”

UNT President V. Lane Rawlins said the growth in enrollment could be attrib-uted to a number of factors. Rawlins said one of the biggest reasons UNT is experiencing such rapid growth is because of the growing college-age popu-lation in North Texas. Rawlins said that more students are coming to UNT because of the variety of majors that are offered.

“We have a good array of programs,” Rawlins said. “It matches pretty well with what this generation is looking at, and it matches pretty well with what employers are looking for.”

ship desires are carried forward,” Sauls said. “My thing is to look at what issues have been processed and communicate with member-ship about specific needs that should be investigated.”

The BEA, a volunteer organi-zation that began in 1955, is a scholarship-based program that caters to future broadcasters.

“Our goal is to train media professionals for tomorrow,” Sauls said.

Sauls’s colleagues voiced their opinions about the gained notoriety from the BEA’s newest connection with UNT.

“Involvement in BEA is a great resource. It gives you access to journals and members also attend a tradeshow which is the best in terms of seeing the latest technology,” said Alan Albarran of the RTVF faculty and former 2006 president of the BEA.

Albarran discussed Sauls accomplishments and his posi-tion of former president.

“It makes us look really good. UNT is known for leadership

and we’re a department that has produced a lot of leaders,” Albarran said.

Several RTVF students said they also benefit from Sauls’s involvement in BEA.

Hanny Lee, a RTVF graduate student and teacher’s assistant, won honorable mention out of 900 students who entered the BEA’s short form category student national documen-tary competition for her film “Wake-Up and Live.”

“Dr. Sauls’s achievement defi-nitely shows that the depart-ment has reached a new level. The BEA works in conjunction with the National Association of Broadcasters, which 100,000 students and teachers attend. So it’s amazing he’s president and has that influence,” Lee said.

For f u l l-t i me st udents enrolled in a participating BEA university, admission is free, and members can participate in tradeshows, networking confer-ences and co-author works with professors.

Kari Jones, a radio, television and � lm junior, browses through clothes. The price of cotton has more than doubled in the past year, and clothing prices are expected to rise in the coming months.

BY NICOLE BALDERASStaff Writer

In the 2010 growing season, major cotton-producing coun-tries such as China and India, among others, were hit hard by environmental factors and left without their expected cotton crop for the year.

As of Feb. 11, world cotton market prices hit $1.90 per pound, a price twice as much as it was last year.

“The last time prices were this high was around 100 years ago,” said Marissa Zorola of the fashion merchandising faculty.

Now, the market faces a high demand and low supply. For American consumers, this w i l l ma ke an impact, but Jeffrey Rous of the economics faculty said it’s not as big an increase as people may think.

“To the extent that you can substitute polyester and other materials, the percent increase for the consumer should be around five percent or even lower,” Rous said. “It’s not going to be as big a deal as what you think, but certainly in the manufac-turing industry, it is going to be a big deal.”

The financial blow taken by stores will be more than that of the consumer, but in some cases may turn out to be more than expected.

“For the retailer, they are going to have to absorb some of the cost,” Zorola said. “A va lue-dr iven reta i ler l i ke Walmart is not going to be very keen on raising the price of their goods. The consumer is not going to want to bear that cost, but they are going

to have to be willing too.”Stores l i ke 2nd St reet

V i nt age, loc ated on t he Denton Square, may not see as much of a shift in prices because they have already unique fabric content.

“Woven cotton is already

pricey as it is,” said Leah Wood, co-owner of 2nd Street Vintage. “Market manufac-tures try to get you to buy for the next season. So we’re already three months ahead and have our summer clothes put on order, so it wouldn’t even af fect us unti l a f ter summer, if at all.”

Consumers might begin to see more varieties of mate-rials in clothing stores.

“What we’re going to see, t hough, is probably more blends, and the consumer, I don’t think, is against blends as long as they see some of that cotton in there,” Zorola sa id. “A nd as consu mers become smarter, which they are because of the Internet, they’ll become aware of that fact that maybe they do or should prefer a cotton-poly-ester blend, because it will be stronger.”

Beyond the retailer, Zorola said clothing manufacturers may decide to turn to other fabrics.

“The fabric manufacturer may decide to produce thinner fabrics, or more rayon-cotton blends, because rayon is a cellulose f iber, so it would combine well with cotton,” Zorola said.

Change may not always be

good though for some shop-pers who are used to their old clothes.

“A savvy shopper might say, ‘This denim pant doesn’t feel like my other denim, or this T-shirt is a l itt le more see tough than what I’m used to.’ Those are things that [manu-facturers] are going to have to decide what’s more impor-tant to the consumer,” Zorola said.

As clothing prices rise up as now expected, and with a predicted drought to continue i n 2011 i n U.S. c ot ton-producing regions, consumers may begin to worr y about whet her pr ices a re going down anytime soon.

However, while the U.S. produced 12 percent of the world’s cotton in the 2009 to 2010 season, China and India produced 32 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively. Rous said he believes another bad season won’t kill the economy just yet.

Cotton shortage means higher prices, alternative materials

The state agency responsible for rolling blackouts that affected much of North Texas during the recent winter weather was under fire Feb. 10 by the Public Utility Commission.

The Energ y Rel iabi l it y Council of Texas, or ERCOT, was criticized for what the commis-sion called poor communica-tion with officials and affected residents during the imple-mented Feb. 2 power outages.

ERCOT, the agency that handles power for most of North Texas, put out news releases informing the public of the blackouts at 6:54 a.m., about 45 minutes after they ordered the blackouts, well after many local agencies issued alerts.

Commission spokesman Terry Hadley said ERCOT is evaluating their communica-tion methods.

“They vowed to improve,” Hadley said.

ERCOT spokeswoman Dottie

Roark agreed.“We have already added an

automated electronic network system that will be initiated by someone in the control room,” Roark said. “People at [the Public Utilities Commission] will get the information at the same time I get it.”

Roark said there is always someone in the control room, so there should always be someone to start the system, which calls the PUC until someone answers.

Roark said ERCOT simply wasn’t prepared for the Feb. 2 blackouts.

“The system we followed for rolling blackouts was set up for the blackouts in April 2006,” Roark said. “That was in the afternoon. We weren’t ready for an event when I wasn’t in the office.”

Roa rk sa id ERCOT has started a series of meetings ca l led “Lessons Learned” to make sure the mistakes made on Feb. 2 won’t happen again.

Roark said the meetings involve representatives from multiple energy companies about communication.

“One thing we are trying

Energy council under fireto do is educate energ y consumers to cal l their utility provider should a rolling blackout occur again,” Roark said. “I got calls from worried people who have parents in the hospital or nursing homes asking if their power would be shut down. We don’t control that.”

Denton Municipal Electric, which controls power in the Denton area, has a system for blackout situations.

D e n t o n Mu n i c i p a l ’s Communication Manager Lisa Lemons said there should be no risk of hospitals and police stations shutting down in the blackouts.

Lemons said the power for Denton runs through feeders, and there are 81 feeders in the city. Lemons said the power compa ny k nows which feeders run power to critical places like hospitals and police stations.

“We take those off the list of feeders we can power off,” Lemons said. “The rest are free to be shut down. That’s the plan.”

Lemons said a total of 20 out of the 81 feeders could be rotated.

“The last time prices were this high was around 100 years ago.”

Rawlins said the jump in spring enrollment is partly because UNT experienced a higher than average enroll-ment in fall 2010. He said the amount of transfer students that enrolled in the spring exceeded their projections and that has also contributed to the growth.

The retention rates have also provided a boost to enroll-ment, and that, he said, is the result of a concerted effort on the part of the university to see freshmen continue their studies rather than dropping out.

“We are really focusing on those freshmen,” Rawlins said. “This institution, as good as it is, I don’t like that freshmen retention rate. It’s in the 70s and I think it should be in the 80s. We’re putting a lot of resources into counseling them and making sure that they have identity.”

Trey Thomas, a mechan-ical and energy engineering freshman, said he came to UNT in fall 2010. Thomas said he applied to a couple of schools, but he eventually chose UNT because of the atmosphere at the Denton campus, and because he thought it was a good school. Thomas said

the university did a good job getting new students used to the campus at orientation.

“When I did the orientation over the summer, they helped you through every step of the way,” Thomas said. “They got you used to the computer system before you had to start class, and it really built a base of information of helpf ul people on campus.”

Based on both the growth of

the North Texas area and the work being done to increase retention, Rawlins said the universit y is hoping for a growth of four percent a year for the next four years. But he cautioned that a higher rate of growth could pose prob-lems of overcrowding and might lessen the quality of the education provided at UNT.

“What we have to be known for is that when you come here as a student, we promise you

Rawlins: UNT’s reputation on the rise

Agency said it wasn’t ready for rolling blackouts

a good education,” Rawlins said. “If we get too crowded, if we don’t budget enough for g row t h, t hen we’re cheating on that promise.”

R o b e r t K i l l a m , t h e assistant director of the biology department, said he sees that the university is bringing in a lot more students. In his depart-ment, he says, there is a greater need because of students who are seeking employ ment i n hea lt h-related professions.

“The demand for biology is a l it t le bit st ronger,” Killam said. “In several of our upper level courses, we saw a growth of 20 to 30 percent in some of our key courses this semester.”

W hi le K i l la m pra ised UNT’s expansion in terms of student population, he expressed concern about what it could mean for class-room availability.

“Ma ny de p a r t ment s , including ours, have a lack of la rger classrooms to accommodate this growth,” he said. “It used to be that classes at 8 a.m. or after 12 p.m. were unpopular. Now it’s virtually impos-sible to find a larger empty classroom at any time of the day.”

Students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to learn about Eliza Haywood’s success story in a world that limited her talent.

Kathryn King, an English professor at the University of Montevallo, will host the event “Eliza Haywood (1693?-1756): Hack, Whore, or Polite Advocate for Virtue?” as a part of the Early British Literature Colloquium lecture series.

The series will take place at 3:30 p.m. today in Language Building 218.

“Another way to look at it is that they have the opportu-nity to see how a real profes-sional presents herself,” said Alexander Pettit of the English facult y. “[She’s] someone who’s made a very successful career, is a superb writer, and is also really funny and very charming.”

King said her lecture is based on a biography about Haywood’s political involve-ment in London.

“I’m going to try and show how if we look at Haywood’s personal life, she doesn’t live up to the reputation of being a whore or a hack,” she said.

Pettit said he’s known King for years and thinks she is the best scholar in the British 18th century field.

P e o p l e a t t e n d i n g can expect a great lecture, enthusiastic scholars and inspirational information, he said.

“ E l i z a Hay wood stands to teach women today about tough-ness, independence, and about succeeding in what was then a male-dominated world and still is in some aspects,” he said.

Wasa Hafic, a sociolog y junior, sa id she admires Hay wood for becoming a successful writer in a male-dominated world.

“She was in an interesting time period I’d like to learn more about, and it’d be good for males to recognize the struggles women have been through,” she said.

Pettit said twice a year, the Early Britist Colloquium brings speakers to campus that study time periods from the 1400s to the 1800s.

The members of the orga-nization rotate through time periods and select a speaker they find suitable, he said.

“A lot of learning goes on at these events, and we host a reception after to make everyone feel at home,” Pettit said.

Growing up in the suburbs of Garland, Texas, Brittani Wilkins, an African-American UNT student, said she was often ridiculed and called ‘white’ by her peers because of where she lived and how she talked.

Wilkins said she ignored these racial comments and stereo-types.

Wilkins wants stduents to learn how to surpass culture barriers at the “Black in America” discussion.

The discussion between students a nd communit y leaders is a collaboration of the Union Program Council and Multicultural Center. It will begin at 7 p.m. today in University Union 413.

“We’ve come a long way as a culture,” said Wilkins, a stra-tegic communications junior and the vice president of promo-tions of UPC. “The sky’s the limit for our culture.”

The event is based on “Black in America CNN,” a television special hosted by Soledad O’Brien, Wilkins said.

It will highlight the state of academics, social status, divorce rates, violence and youth behavior in the African-American community, she said.

The event will kick off to the 11th Annual Equity and Diversity Conference this weekend in the Union, in honor of Black History Month, Wilkins said.

By the numbers As of fall 2010, UNT has 4,380

black students, according to the 2010-2011 Fact Book. That’s 12.14 percent of the student body—the third-highest minority group.

The number of students of different ethnicities is counted at the end of every semester, said Aaron Clark, the assistant vice president for Institutional Research.

“At the end of the day, you want to build friendships and learn about other people’s cultures and where they come from,” Wilkins said.

The Multicultural Center is available for people of different genders, ethnicities, faiths and disabilities, said Cara Walker, a UNT alumna and the student services coordinator.

Talk covers female empowerment

UPC talks culture“Ever y culture is going

to have different issues that other cultures aren’t going to understand,” Walker said. “I encourage anybody—black, white, any race —to come and participate in the discussion.”

Forest Turner, an English senior, said his parents educated him on Black History Month and since then, he has always been interested.

“It’s more than just Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks and Jackie Robertson,” Turner said. “They deserve the praise that they get, but there’s a lot more black history than them.”

While some student orga-nizations center around one specific cause, the NonProfit Student Leadership Association is a professional student orga-nization centered on service.

For merly ca l led t he American Humanics Student Association, the group’s mission is to educate, prepare and certify professionals to lead nonprofit organizations.

“Being involved in a profes-sional student organization that actually certifies students is a huge resume builder,” said Lehia Hill, a social work junior and vice president of the asso-ciation. “We are nationally recognized, and we are the only organization on campus that trains those looking to work in nonprofit agencies.”

The group meets every Wednesday and plans to make every other meeting a service project, Hill said.

Students who want to earn a nonprofit management and leadership certification through NPLSA must complete several tasks, including a 300-hour internship, and

attend the annual American Hu m a n ic s Ma n a gement Institute, according to the orga-nization’s website.

This year’s conference took place in January in Orlando, Fla., said Sara Chavez, a social work sophomore and American Humanics Management Institute representative.

“It is a 3-day conference that consists of workshops given by different speakers who work in the nonprofit field,” Chavez said. “There is also plenty of free time to relax and enjoy the place your group has gotten to travel to.”

The organization provides an outlet for students who want to volunteer, said Raven Dickerson,

a social work junior and commu-nity service chairwoman for the organization.

“If not for the benefit of your education and future career, I encourage students to come out and have a chance to give back to the community and have fun with other students from all walks of life,” Dickerson said.

NPLSA participates in a number of community service events throughout the year including, “Make A Difference Day” and “Boo Bash,” Dickerson said.

This semester, the group is working with Friends of the Family, The Nelson Center and Communities in School, leading

after-school programs at elemen-tary, middle and high schools.

“We have a community council that has local commu-nity leaders on it who are there for us so that we can connect with the community,” Hill said. “As a result, over the past year, we have definitely tried to reach out beyond just the UNT campus.”

NPLSA has impacted UNT in a positive way, Dickerson said.

“ W e w e r e a w a r d e d Organization of the Year at the UNT Eagle Awards Ceremony last year. [We’re] dedicated to the UNT community and the growth of service in Denton.”

After the UNT men’s basketball team took down South Alabama to end its four-game losing streak, it looked like the team was finally able to overcome its struggles.

Whatever good the Mean Green had done against the Jaguars was undone in a home loss against Louisiana-Monroe Saturday night. With three games remaining in the season, UNT fans may want to panic.

Run around in circles. Scream with your hands in the air. If you want to call it the “win dance,” go ahead.

UNT desperately needs to win its remaining three games not only to boost its seed before the Sun Belt Conference tournament on March 5, but also to boost its confidence.

To understand how bad the Mean Green’s loss against ULM was, consider the following. Before the Warhawks played the Mean Green, ULM put up a season-low 37 points against Denver. Against the Mean Green on Saturday, the Warhawks more than doubled that point total, posting 82 points on the scoreboard.

Prior to its win against UNT, ULM had lost nine straight games. The Warhawks had not lost that many consecutive games since the 1994-1995 season. That’s when Mario Lopez was actu-ally known for doing something productive.

Not only did ULM defeat UNT, it won at the Super Pit, where

UNT had lost one ga me this season. R e m e m b e r that UNT beat the same exact team on Jan. 8. By 17 points. Yikes.

The Mean Green suffered another blow this week with the loss of sophomore forward Jacob Holmen for the remainder of the season. Holmen suffered a broken wrist, adding to the list of season-ending inju-ries. Senior forward Cameron Spencer, junior guard Tyler Hall and sophomore guard Alzee Williams are also out for the year.

Even with its recent strug-gles, this team still has the talent to turn things around. Prior to the start of the season, the Mean Green had three people named to an all-confer-ence team.

One of those players is senior forward Tristan Thompson, who leads the conference in scoring with 17.7 points per game. Senior forward George Odufuwa is averaging a double double, putting up 11 points and 10.1 rebounds per game.

Three games don’t seem like a lot of time to get back on the right course. But three consec-utive wins would do a lot for the team’s confidence. That may be all it takes to transform the Mean Green from mediocre to magnificent.

With three games remaining in the regular season, the UNT women’s basketball team must win and have Louisiana-Lafayette lose its last three games to get out of last place in its division.

To do its part, UNT (5-21, 2-11) must do something it has done once the last three years: beat Arkansas State (14-13, 7-7). During that stretch, ASU has beaten UNT seven times.

The last time ASU defeated UNT was Jan. 22 at the Super Pit, 62-59 in overtime.

“Really, I feel like we should win every game,” junior guard Tamara Torru said. “Two years ago, around this time, we went into Arkansas State and got a victory without one of our leading scorers, so hopefully we can pull it off again.”

UNT women’s basketball junior guard Tamara Torru always seems to have an answer.

In fifth grade, Torru cut her hand open on glass, rupturing arteries in her arm. Torru stayed calm, cool and collected throughout the ordeal.

“When she was in the ambu-lance, she was lying on the stretcher and her eyes were closed, so I thought she was unconscious,” Torru’s mother Grace Habricht said. “They were asking me what happened, and before I could say anything, she opened her eyes and said, ‘I was running down the side-walk and I put my hand out to brace myself and my hand went through the glass and I pulled it back.’”

Before the paramedics could act, Torru offered solutions.

“She said, ‘If you could tell me what you’re going to do to me before you do it, I can help you,’” Habricht said.

Torru also suffered a f lag football injury that required her jaw being wired shut for six weeks.

“She said, ‘Oh Mom, don’t

shooting, but turned the ball over 30 times. ASU scored 29 points off UNT turnovers.

“It’s not so much of keeping them out of the passing lanes as it is us making them pay with smart passes,” head coach Shanice Stephens said. “I want my team to welcome people getting in passing lanes. I want them to make sharp cuts and hit them with backdoor [passes]. That’s how you make people pay.”

On defense, the Mean Green will try to stop ASU junior guard NeNe Hurst, who was named Sun Belt Player of the Week Monday. In two games last week, Hurst averaged 21.5 points and 8.5 rebounds.

She posted 28 points in a victory over Troy, a career-high and t he most points scored by any ASU player this season.

After missing two games with a foot injury, junior guard Brittney Hudson is expected to return to the starting lineup for today’s game.

worry about it, we’ll get through this like we’ve gotten through everything else,’” Halbricht said.

Torru was born in t he Houston area to Kingsley Torru and Habricht.

She got into basketball as a young scorekeeper for her older sister Nia’s basketball team in seventh grade.

“My sister played, so I just kind of played with her and I really enjoyed it,” Torru said.

Torru joined the Mean Green with experience playing at the

Amateur Athletic Union level, which helped her both on and off the court.

“I try to be as encouraging to my teammates as I can,” she said. “I talk a lot. A lot. Hopefully it’s encouraging and not annoying.”

In her third season suiting up for the Mean Green, Torru has improved her scoring average of 5.5 points per game from her sophomore year to 9 ppg this season and her rebounding average from 2.9 rebounds per game to 5.3.

“The only thing that stops Tam really is Tam,” UNT head coach Shanice Stephens said. “When we get that aggres-sive Tam, there’s no stop-ping her.”

“Aggressive Tam” might not be around after Torru graduates, she said.

“I’m a sociology major, but all I want to do when I grad-uate is become a first grade teacher,” she said.

Torry volunteers with chil-dren at her church when she goes home and is close to her 98-year-old grandmother, who taught for years.

“She kind of takes on the world, in some ways, like she was a superhero,” her stepfa-ther James Habricht said.

Louisiana-Monroe because of personal reasons. Stephens said she did not have a time-table for Godbolt’s return.

“We’ll probably change a few things up from the last

game, since I’m not for sure what our personnel will be, and then we’ll have to adjust accordingly to that,” Stephens said.

The Mean Green will try to snap its seven-game losing streak against ASU, something that may be simpler than X’s and O’s, said freshman forward Ash’Lynne Evans.

“We’ve just got to continue to play hard,” Evans said. “We’ve been playing hard, so I think that’s all you can ask for.”

The game begins at 7 p.m. today in Jonesboro, Ark. at the ASU Convocation Center.

Note to Our Readers

NT Daily Editorial Board

When I first enrolled at UNT, I was hesitant about joining any campus organizations or attending any events because I was slightly bitter about attending a university in the same town as my high school. My unjustified bitterness soon subsided and I developed a positive attitude about being part of the Mean Green family.

When I finally decided that I had made the right decision for my future and had selected a fine institution to pursue my dreams, I decided to apply to be a freshman intern in the Student Government Association — a decision that would open up the door for endless opportu-nities in the years that would follow. Thankfully, I was offered the internship and given the chance to make a difference on this campus.

From that initial connec-tion to others on campus, I

have branched out and become actively involved in other facets of campus life, from serving as a student representative on the Distinguished Lecture Series, to sitting on the Distinguished Te ac h i ng P r ofe s s or s h ip Committee, to serving in SGA as a Supreme Court justice and mentor to the Freshman Intern Program.

Through these avenues of involvement, I was afforded such opportunities as attending a dinner with and meeting former President George W. Bush, acting as a mentor and (I hope) posi-tively influencing other students on campus, and helping select professors for pedagogical awards.

I do not speak of these events to toot my own horn or make others think highly of me. My hope is that people reading this article will realize there are so many ways to plug yourself in, whether

it’s by becoming involved in a current organization, starting your own or taking up a cause you feel passionate about.

It is my firm belief college is more than just a place where you come to attend class, take tests and walk across the stage with a degree.

When you walk that stage, you should have endless memories about your time at UNT. Your time in college should not only be marked by the grades on your transcript, but also your involve-ment on this campus and in your community.

With nearly 400 registered campus organizations and more being formed each year by students looking to stay involved or make a change, there’s no reason you can’t find a path to participation.

I challenge each student who feels like college is nothing more than four years of classes and

tests who reads this column to find one way to get involved.

The old cliché “College should be the best years of your life” is one I believe in and have dili-gently been trying to live by. So get out there and start living.

So it happened. I’ve heard about other people who’ve caught it, but I never thought it would happen to me.

This worldwide epidemic of Bieber Fever hit me so unex-pectedly.

It all started with watching him on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, promoting his new movie “Never Say Never,” which is pretty good.

Ellen kept praising the kid about how great he was, and how he’s such a great role model. My little sister’s obsession with the Biebster quickly had me sick of him, but his interview with Ellen changed my mind.

During the interview, the Biebster surprised a young girl with a bouquet of roses and tickets to his movie premiere. The girl was in such shock, she barely said a word.

It’s not often celebrities go out of their way for their fans like that. It was nice to see how humble the kid was.

Then his movie came out Feb. 11 and I took my siblings the next day to watch it.

That’s when he won me over. His movie is a concert docu-

mentary, where it shows that he’s really an ordinary kid who just happens to be a pop sensa-tion. He doesn’t see himself as this big hot-shot celebrity. He just wants to do what he loves and have some Chicken McNuggets at the end of the day.

After two days of being a Bieber fan, it was the night of the Grammys. He was nomi-nated for Best New Artist and lost to this not well-known artist, Esperanza something.

After his movie debuted at No. 2 at the box office and he lost the Grammy, it seemed like the media was bullying him. They started comparing Justin’s movie to Miley Cyrus’ concert documentary and said they expected his movie to bring a lot of money.

I don’t know about you, but

$80.2 million sounds like a lot to me.

Then they tried making him feel bad because of the loss. It’s truly an honor that a 16-year-old boy was nominated for such a prestigious award.

The following day in his Rolling Stone interview, Justin said he doesn’t believe in abor-tion. When asked about abortion after a rape, the Biebester said, “Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I don’t know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”

Why in the world would someone ask a 16-year-old boy his opinion on such a serious topic as rape? He’s just a kid! There’s no way he could have said something that wouldn’t have offended someone. That wasn’t fair.

He’s accomplished so much at such a young age, but the media is just bullying the Biebster. I

would hate for them to push him so far off the edge that he turns into the male version of Lindsay Lohan.

Now, just because I like the kid doesn’t mean I’m a fan of his music, so don’t expect to hear “Baby” as my ringtone, but this bullying must stop.

Nods and ShakesEditorial

Nod: Payday loan regulation should increaseTwo Democratic state senators, Wendy Davis of Fort Worth

and Royce West of Dallas, have proposed changes to the policies payday loan companies must follow.

To be clear, the changes would not prevent the businesses from operating in the state or from charging interest on the loans they offer. The legislation would make them operate under a different set of regulations that would decrease the interest rate such busi-nesses can charge.

The Editorial Board believes payday loans have their place in assisting people who have economic problems and need a quick solution. They can also, however, perpetuate those issues by requiring double, triple or even, as is the case for some Texas loans, five times the amount of money the loan paid.

Payday loans are cash advances that must be repaid with interest by the person’s next payday. Some people cannot pay the balance in time and then incur a bigger fee. PayDayLoanInfo.org has more information about the advances.

In a Dallas Morning News article, Jay Shipowitz, the owner of a payday loan businesses said it could not stay in Texas if the leg-islation were passed. His business, ACE Cash Express, has lower rates in other states, such as Oregon, according to the article.

If the only way payday loan operations can afford to stay in the state is by exploiting people who cannot get a loan elsewhere, Texas doesn’t need them.

Shake: Libyan leader needs to step downLibyan leader Moammar Gadhafi will not leave power volun-

tarily. He has said the power is the people’s, asked if people wanted

to become American slaves and accused protesters of being under the influence of hallucination pills.

Instead of trying to work with his people and understand their concerns and desires, Gadhafi has declared there will be no mercy for the people who oppose him.

He employed air and ground attacks in Tripoli, Libya’s capital, on Monday, and death squads wandered the streets, shooting anyone who ventured outside. The Guardian reported people are afraid to gather their relatives’ bodies because of the roaming squads. Those bodies are riddled with bullets, as are the walls of some of the city’s buildings.

Gadhafi, who apparently has no official government role, has somehow retained power over the country for more than 40 years. He was also an ally to the U.S.

Among his policies in recent years is a deal with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to prevent Libyans from going to Europe for a better chance at life. Libya would prevent them from leaving and Italy would send them back to Libya.

When former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak faced the protests of his people earlier this year, he ultimately recognized that he needed to turn the government over to the army, which the people trusts, so the country could heal.

Gadhafi needs learn from Mubarak’s example and leave the government to allow the Libyan people to achieve a democratic society.

A NA HEIM, Ca l i f. — Frustrated by students habit-ually skipping class, police and school officials in Anaheim, Calif., are turning to GPS tracking to ensure they come to class.

The Anaheim Union High School District is the first in California to test GPS tech-nology as part of a six-week pilot program that began last week, officials said.

Seventh- and eighth-graders with four unexcused absences or more this school year are assigned a handheld GPS device, about the size of a cell phone, to carry. Each morning on school days, they get an automated phone call reminding them that they need to get to school on time.

Then, five times a day, they are required to enter a code that tracks their locations — as they leave for school, when they arrive at school, at lunch-

time, when they leave school and at 8 p.m.

The students are also assigned an adult coach who calls them at least three times a week to see how they are doing and help them find effective ways to make sure they get to class on time. Students and their parents volunteer for the monitoring as a way to avoid continuation school or pros-ecution with a potential stay in juvenile hall.

“The idea is for this not to feel like a punishment, but an intervention to help them develop better habits and get to school,” said Miller Sylvan, the regional director for AIM Truancy Solutions.

The GPS devices cost $300 to $400 each. Overall, the six-week program costs about $8 per day for each student, or $18,000 total. The program is paid for by a state grant.

Students who routinely skip school are prime candidates to join gangs, police say.

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

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 fill 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
