However, the lifetime of the kiosk is limited, as the Union Board of Directors in conjunction with the Student Government Association have decided to bull- doze it. “They’ve been talking about it for a year or so,” Union director Zane Reif said. “It has become an eyesore.” Thickly layered fliers cover the kiosk, some of which date back to late August.

Beyond that, Reif said, the kiosk contributes to littering problems when wind or rain blow the papers to the bushes. It is also considered a fire hazard. The Union Board of Directors wanted to make the decision, so it addressed the SGA. “We wanted support from the SGA to make sure bases were covered on both ends,” Reif said. The vote to support the Union Board of Directors was almost unanimous. One person opposed it. “We want to put something in its place,” said Tori Kuhn, a business sophomore and SGA senator. Kuhn suggested students take the metal from the kiosk and mold it into a sculpture. The board is deciding what it wants to replace the kiosk. Reif said it is up to the facili- ties department to approve what goes in the space, but the most popular idea is to put in a digital kiosk, like the ones featured in the Union.

Bush stepped back into the spotlight Tuesday, breaking ground on his presidential library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Tonight he kicks off his national book tour and becomes the first former president to visit UNT. Speaking before a sold-out crowd of more than 7,000 in the Coliseum, Bush is expected to discuss details from his autobi- ography “Decision Points.” About 4,000 students are expected to attend the event, which will receive regional and possibly national media atten- tion, said UNT’s news promotion manager Buddy Price. “I think it’s a great opportu- nity for the university,” Price said. “UNT has a great tradi- tion of valuing different perspec- tives.” Bush was selected last year as one of 12 possible finalists to speak by UNT’s Distinguished Lecture Series, Price said. Bush was invited after he received the third-most student votes, but declined. This year, he approached UNT, asking to speak at a fee of $100,000, which would be paid for by student service fees desig- nated for the series, Price said. Kevin Sanders is the presi- dent of the Student Government Association and serves as chairman of the series committee. He said students’ response to Bush’s visit and the cost has been mixed, but he said he believes the event will benefit UNT. “It’s an instrument to put ourselves on the national stage,” Sanders said. Price said local law enforce- ment and the Secret Service will tighten security for the event. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to go through the required security checkpoints. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the speech will begin at 8 p.m. Purses will be searched at the door, and no backpacks, cameras, posters or signs will be permitted. No disruptions will be allowed, and anyone interrupting the program will be escorted from the building. “The campus is a free speech area, so protesters can be wher- ever they want to be [outside the Coliseum],” Price said. Bush is coming The ambassadors work 10 to 20 hours a week, said Jennifer McClendon, the visitor experi- ence manager. They start out at $8.25 per hour and get a $2,500 scholarship with a one-year commitment. Future ambassadors can apply in early February, she said. The program started in 1998 with 13 ambassadors and gave tours to 6,000 people that year, McClendon said. This semester, the program has 20 ambassa- dors, and for the 2009-2010 fiscal school year, ambassadors took more than 20,000 people on tours. Each tour consists of an average of 15 people. More than 94 percent of prospective students who took tours in the spring of 2010 and were eligible to apply did so, she said. The program’s office does not have the numbers of students who applied and were accepted, McClendon said. “Our goal is to get people to apply,” she said. Griffin Rice, a philosophy freshman, said UNT was the only affordable choice he had, and he was more comfortable after his tour. “It made me more excited about coming here,” Rice said. For many students it does make a difference, McClendon said. “Research shows that prospective students want to talk to current students rather than people that look like their parents,” she said.

“And here on the left.” Students might hear that as

a tour guide wearing a green shirt walks backward through campus with a troop of prospec-tive students in tow.

The person in green is probably one of UNT’s Eagle Ambassadors, a program that has earned UNT a spot on the list of 2010 Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Star Awards.

“To be a part of something that’s actually getting recog-nized by the state, that’s a cool thing,” said Christopher Jordan, an Eagle Ambassador and kine-siology junior.

After two years of relative seclusion from the public sector, former President George W. Bush stepped back into the spotlight Tuesday, breaking ground on his presidential library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

Tonight he kicks off his national book tour and becomes the first former president to visit UNT.

Speaking before a sold-out crowd of more than 7,000 in the Coliseum, Bush is expected to discuss details from his autobi-ography “Decision Points.”

About 4,000 students are expected to attend the event, which will receive regional and possibly national media atten-tion, said UNT’s news promotion manager Buddy Price.

“I think it’s a great opportu-nity for the university,” Price said. “UNT has a great tradi-tion of valuing different perspec-tives.”

Some animals grow warmer coats for the winter, but the animal statues at UNT had a little extra help.

Rebecca Wright, a studio art sophomore, dressed the

bronze a nima l statues in front of the Environmental E duc at ion, S c ienc e a nd Te c h nolog y Bu i ld i ng i n sweaters as an installation for her alternative processes class.

Wr ig ht ’s pu r pos e w a s

Student makes statues warm, fuzzy for winterto express her opinion that people are always trying to beautify and change nature, but that nature is beautiful on its own, she said.

“I’m glad people like it,” she said. “But I don’t feel people get my concept of human versus nature.”

On Sunday, when she and a friend were dressing the animals, someone called the police on them. After the offi-cers talked to Wright and real-ized she had permission, they asked her to take photos of them with the deer.

“Her installation was a hilar-iously successful commen-tary on people’s need to adorn nature,” said Wright’s class instructor Laura Neaderhouser in an e-mail.

The statues Wright dressed are one of the many art proj-ects in and around the EESAT Building.

The alternative processes fibers class exposes students to crocheting, knitting, felting and fibers activities other than the traditional weaving and screen-printing, said Brian Wheeler, assistant director of the Elm Fork Education Center.

Wheeler is also the building representative and allowed Wright to dress the animals.

“I work with the art students to encourage them to do proj-ects over here,” he said.

Wheeler worked with the College of Visual Arts and Design for 10 years before moving to the center.

“The challenge is to go into a

space you’ve never been in, try and make a piece that leaves no mark, which is great for us,” Wheeler said. “Plus, it exposes our science students to things they wouldn’t normally see.”

Wright bought sweaters and altered them to fit each

statue, sewing most of the garments directly onto the f ig u res. She persona l ly made scarves and hats for the smaller animals.

“W hen I f i rst saw it, I thought someone went on a knitting spree,” said Brian Pack, a social work sopho-more.

Wright prepared for this project for a few week s, Wheeler said.

“I thought it was pretty ambitious because I don’t think she had counted the animals when she first took on t he project,” he sa id. “Almost everybody gets a kick out of it.”

Many people who don’t even notice the other art in the building have noticed and commented on the sweaters, Wheeler said.

“I have not looked outside yet where there hasn’t been someone with their phone taking a picture,” he said.

St udent s f r om ac r o s s campus have been racing over to see Wright’s handiwork.

“When I saw it the first time, I saw the little sweaters on the armadillos and it made my day,” said Katie Aurelio, an advertising sophomore. “I think the eagle in the front needs one, or maybe a scarf.”

Students were greeted Monday by statues covered with crocheted winter clothes outside the Environmental Education , Science and Technology Building.

About 20 people this semester have been reported to the Office of Academic Integrity for some sort of academic dishon-esty, said William McKee, an academic integrity officer. And the numbers are likely to increase during finals.

In October, there were an additional 16 cases, McKee said.

A c a d e m i c d i s h on e s t y includes cheating, plagiarism, forgery, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty and sabo-tage.

The Office of Academic Integrity’s purpose is to make sure each degree is one of integ-rity and value.

“[The office] is not out trying

to trap students,” McKee said. “We’re here to enforce academic standards and ensure that the value of the UNT degree remains high.”

That office is under the Office of the Provost, which has been on its own since the spring of 2009. It receives reports of academic dishonesty and puts them in the database for the university’s use. The dishonesty is not reported in the students’ permanent record, said Kathleen Whitson, an academic integrity deputy officer.

“[The office] puts a central point to responsibility and adds consistency, which makes things fair and equal in the way the cases are handled,” Whitson said. “It is a support to faculty. It is a resource for both faculty and students. It

also gives the students a fairly high level to appeal if they chose to do so.”

CasesLast school year, the office

received 123 cases of academic dishonesty, deputy officer of the provost office Celia Williamson said in an e-mail interview.

She and Whitson said they believe there are cases where the teacher does not report the inci-dent to the Office of Academic Integrity. They said the professor should report every incident so it can go into the database and there is knowledge of whether a student has repeatedly been caught cheating.

Once CaughtIf a student has been suspected

Office tries to maintain integrity, value of degreeof cheating, the professor decides how to handle it. The sanction could be anything from a verbal warning to fa i l ing t he course.

The student can appeal to the Office of Academic Integrity, either stating he or she did not cheat or that the sanction was too harsh. A board of faculty and students who make the final decision would eventually hear the case.

If the student is guilty of cheating, the office will offer counseling if needed.

It’s not out to play “gotcha,” Whitson said.

Cost of Cheating“[Cheating] can end up costing

you quite a bit in pursuit of your degree,” Whitson said. “Getting caught, having it go into data-base and a sanction. But it also costs you in learning. If you are cheating, you are not learning, and if you are not learning, you are not going to be able to apply it to anything later.”

She said the hardest part for students to understand is that they are cheating themselves.

“It say s s o m e t h i n g about your character,” she said. “It’s the ethics, the morals, that you are willing to do this and you think it is OK.”

Some students cheat because they think they don’t need the class, because it may be an elective or core that is not in their major, and that it won’t hurt anyone to cheat, Whitson said.

“Don’t cheat,” said Sarah Dollery, an international studies sophomore. “Preserve the integ-rity of the school and quality of the education. Have self-integrity.”

Cheating is more than just a grade. The ethics involved are also a part of the students’ under-standing of the way to operate as a student or professional, Whitson said.

“There is a real difference between earning a degree and getting a diploma, even if they

don’t get caught,” Williamson said.

Professors Can HelpProfessors can help reduce

academic dishonesty by being clear and concise about their expectations at the beginning of the semester, Whitson said.

They can make sure students understand when working together what would be consid-ered too much, like having the same answers instead of doing research together and answering the question individually, she said.

TutorialMost cases involving academic

dishonesty at UNT were plagia-rism, Whitson said.

The Office of Academic Integrity is working on an online tutorial to help students under-stand plagiarism.

“You may get away with [cheating] and not be caught, but you … know you engaged in something and got a grade you did not earn, and whatever comes of that, a degree, a job or a career, is tainted because you didn’t earn it,” McKee said.

Looking around the North Gallery in the Art Building, many people may not realize students produced the “Nineteen Cubed” art exhibit single-handedly. The showcase was created by art students in professor Pam Burnley-Schol’s profes-sional practices for artists class, an advanced elective for undergraduate art students. “The purpose is so we can learn how to put on a show by ourselves,” said McCall Clark, a drawing and painting junior and student in the class. “The students are the ones that have been involved in making sure the show looks good.” This is the first year students are required to put on a show by themselves, Burnley-Schol said. Some of t he requ i re-ments for the class include creating original artwork, installing and coordinating the show, making inv ita-tions and handling opening reception events, she said. “It’s hands-on,” Clark said. “Hanging up everything is a lot harder than I thought it was.” T he y w i l l a l s o t u r n i n a professiona l docu-

Class topics include copy-right law, business practices, gallery exhibition and conser-vation and shipping of artwork. “I think this class should

The students used their theme and their class size of 19 to name the show “Nineteen Cubed.” The show’s opening recep-tion was Monday night. The gallery is open from noon to 8 p.m. today and from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday. “The full title for the class that we joke about is profes-sional practices for the artist or how to survive until the world is ready for your art,” Burnley-Schol said.

From New Mexico to England, India to South America, UNT’s study abroad program offers students the chance to experience learning and traveling in a new way. At 11 a.m. today in the One O’Clock Lounge, UNT International will host its annual study abroad fair to get students interested and informed about continuing their education away from campus.

“The study abroad fair is an opportunity for students to find out what their inter-national education options are,” said Mary Beth Butler, the director of communica-tions for UNT International. “We think it’s really important and we’d like to get students to learn what the opportuni-ties are.”

This year, the program offers about 40 different programs through various organizations and departments for students to study around the world.

Butler said the programs, which will run during the summer of 2011, offer the chance to study everything from literature in London and criminal justice in Paris to philosophy in India and radio, television and film in Argentina.

On top of giving students the opportunity to travel, studying abroad is something employers consider when looking at a résumé, she said.

“We find more and more that employers are saying that a study abroad experience is what sets students apart,” she said. “It makes students more market-able, and that’s very impor-tant.”

English senior Claire Gilliam feels her six-month experience in Italy last summer did that.

“I was kind of in shock when I first got there even though I studied Italian at UNT for three years,” she said.

But after getting accus-tomed to the environment, she learned she was capable of living another world.

“[I have] the confidence to know I could go into another culture and survive,” she said. Grace Young, a general studies senior, said if she had the opportunity earlier in her career, she would have taken it and said other students should take advantage of it.

“You get to travel and experi-ence new places,” she said. “It’s not a difficult program to do. It’s not even that costly, so [you] should definitely get into it.”

Making it easy for students is a priority for Butler and the organizers.

“We keep the cost as low as possible because we certainly understand that students are on a budget,” she said.

Butler said there are scholar-ships available for those inter-ested in the program through the International Education Fee Scholarship.

While the résumé experi-ence is important for students, it’s also a chance to simply see what else is out there.

“They find out there’s a place outside of Texas and that sounds silly, but it’s hard to really believe that unless you’ve traveled,” she said.

“You get to travel and experience

new places.”—Grace Young

For students looking to pad their modeling portfolio, the Models of Style Exposed organi-zation offers several ways to help students work in the modeling industry.

Mosé is a student modeling organization that exposes students to the fashion industry and prepares them for real-life modeling experiences. The group helps build students’ portfolios while giving them work experience so they can model after graduation.

“We consider ourselves a modeling agency and we func-tion the same way,” said Monde Echun, president of Mosé.

Each semester, Mosé holds auditions for new models. It currently has 48 members, one-third of which are returning students.

“The main way to join is to come to the open calls,” Echun said. “This semester we combined our auditions with the UPC Top Modeling compe-tition. We found more than I thought!”

Some students who didn’t ma ke it to t he audit ions this year hope to join next semester.

“My friend wants to be a model, but I don’t even think there are big agencies in Denton,” said Nikki Mesecher, a Denton resident. “I think it’s really cool that the school has something like this for aspiring models.”

To audition, students need two photos: one headshot and one body shot. The judges then ask for the candidates to walk and leave their contact infor-

mation. If they are interested in the models, the judges will call them.

Echun said the group looks for women who are at least 5-feet-7-inches and ta l ler and men who are 5-feet-10-inches and taller. The group wants models who have a great look and a passion for the industry.

“We decided to be a little more open-minded,” Echun said. “We have a lot of people that are shorter than the average heig ht. We have some tall girls and plus size. More importantly, we want to know how well they photo-graph. Some people are really pretty in person but they can’t capture it on film, so it is really

important to see how well they photograph on film.”

Many previous Mosé models have been successful in the industry, including Echun, and have worked for shows in Dallas and even events hosted by Russell Simmons.

Mosé a lumni have a lso moved to places like Los Angeles and New York to continue their modeling careers. Some have worked for campaigns, maga-zines and even a photo shoot with Kim Kardashian, Echun said.

“Yeah, one of our models

went to Fashion Week and got into five Fashion Week shows,” Echun said. “That’s really unheard of.”

Newcomers hope they will have the same success as the alumni.

“This is my first semester,” said Tanis Grogan, a marketing junior and Mosé member. “It’s been very helpful in getting jobs and more experience [and] a really good way to start out with some contacts and getting to know the industry.”

Grogan has done a few fashion shows since she joined the organization.

“I did the Dillard’s fashion show and a few weeks ago I did the ‘Rock the Walk’ fashion show,” Grogan said.

Mosé members meet at 8 :30 p.m. Sundays in the Env ironmenta l Education, Science a nd Tech nolog y Building to practice runway walking and meet clients who may be interested in booking them for jobs.

For more information, search for “Models of Style Exposed” on Facebook.

Any weekend that UNT and the Dallas Cowboys can both win a football game this season serves as a pretty good sports weekend.

Both teams have interim head coaches, and both teams have played signif-icantly better since the respec-tive coaches have taken over.

However, the Mean Green continued to show positive vital signs, picking up a critical road victory against Middle Tennessee. The path that led to the win was rocky. UNT was forced to play a full hour of football to leave Murfreesboro, Tenn., with its third win of the season.

The first two games have been sweet for a fan base that has been aching for wins. However, a win this weekend against Louisiana-Monroe would be the icing on a season that has taken a favorable turn.

A victory would be monu-mental for the Mean Green. For starters, UNT would have a .500 record in conference play. That’s huge, because it is something that hasn’t been seen since 2004.

The will to win and gut out close games has also been absent for six years. That was the last time that the Mean Green won two games in a three-game span. It could stretch that to three victories in four games, which could propel UNT into the top half of the Sun Belt Conference standings.

But more importantly, the win would be more crucial for what happens after the game has been played on Saturday.

The win would give the Mean Green a huge amount of momentum going into the last game at Fouts Field against Kansas State. The Big 12 foe has held its own ground in conference that constantly

produces BCS-caliber teams, sitting third place in the Big 12 North division with a 3-4 record, something Texas Longhorns fans would gladly take after a lackluster season.

Shots against the Longhorns aside, UNT

could use the momentum to close out a season that has gone from dismal to delightful in three weeks.

Recruiting would benefit from a successful final two weeks of the year, which could

consist of a win this week and a solid performance against KSU. That would mean UNT would need to remain compet-itive into the second half. That will be a task in itself when the Wildcats bring a talented squad to Denton.

Most importantly, a strong final stretch would bolster the case of interim head coach Mike Canales, who has done everything short of a fund-raiser at Sonic to show how much he would like the job. If everything were to go according to plan, UNT would finish the season with a record of 4-5, while Canales would have a record of 3-2 in his five games as the head honcho.

Chico may put together a case that will be hard for athletic director Rick Villarreal to throw out as November draws to a close. The jury seems to be on the fence for now, but if the Mean Green can string together quality back-to-back performances, a favor-able verdict for Canales may follow suit.

Spending time in the elite Big 12 Conference during his freshman year and transfer-ring to play at a junior college last season, UNT transfer junior forward Alonzo Edwards is as experienced as an NBA star in some ways, but raw as a college freshman in others.

The Houston native played for Nebraska after being recruited from Klein Forest High School two years ago and competed at Lon Morris College for a year before joining the Mean Green.

“When I got back to the Division I level, it was like I was starting all over again. It was like being a freshman,” Edwards said. “You see what’s happening with the Miami Heat. As talented as they are, their players still have to fit in and that’s what I’m trying to do.”

Before coming to UNT, Edwards received limited minutes as a Cornhusker in what was a frustrating year.

“I had a lot to learn at that

point in my career,” Edwards said. “I figured there was a better opportunity for me elsewhere where I could add more to a team.”

With more playing time against weaker competition, Edwards improved while at Lon Morris last season, averaging

7.9 points per game and experi-encing his favorite on-the-court memory.

“I scored 31 points and had the first 18 points in one game,” he said. “I was hitting threes and was just on. I’m not trying to be conceited or anything, but when my shot is on like it was then, I’m unstoppable.”

Edwards filled a void when joining the Mean Green this spring, as UNT lost a starting forward, former star Eric Tramiel, to graduation.

“Alonzo is already doing an outstanding job getting to know the system and fitting in with our team,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “He’s got so much talent and will only continue to improve as the season goes on.”

Since joining the Mean Green, Edwards has made more of an effort to learn about UNT’s game plan by communicating with his teammates.

“He is fitting in well because he goes out of his way to ask us questions,” senior forward George Odufuwa said. “The fact that he is such a fast learner helps him a lot.”

Playing on the same team as UNT senior guard Tristan Thompson at the Amateur Athletic Union level during high school has made the tran-sition easier for the talkative transfer.

“We definitely have a history together, and that makes playing with somebody so much easier,” Thompson said. “The chemistry is there.”

While his résumé with the Mean Green is empty for the moment, Edwards’ battles with future pro players during his time in the Big 12 gives UNT fans something to be excited about.

Newcomer shares rare experience

“I think I have a huge advan-tage coming from a Big 12 school,” Edwards said. “I’ve had to guard guys like Michael Beasley and Blake Griffin, and I’ve learned so much from those experiences.”

The competitive edge No. 34 brings continues off the court and is seen in his recovery from a knee injury and everyday activ-ities.

“I just see myself as a compet-itor,” Edwards said. “If you tell me to do something, I’ll find a way to do it. The competitive part of me even comes out when I’m outside racing someone to get the car.”

A passion for music is a big

part of the avid Kanye West fan’s life and may have a role in his future.

“[Senior guard] Dominique Johnson got me into gospel rap, which is great because it’s so positive,” he said. “I’ve thought about becoming a coach, but I can see myself in the media side of music after college.”

Staying away from the cliché of listening to music before games, Edwards will more likely be found standing in line at Subway than with an iPod before he plays.

“I don’t listen to a lot of music pregame, but my ritual is all about the food,” the son of Regina Edwards and Felix Potes said. “I need to get my Subway before every game. It’s all about the sweet-onion chicken teriyaki.”

The 6-feet-7-inches forward credits his uncle Kenneth Lather for helping him get serious about basketball and his work ethic off the court.

“Alonzo is like a son to me,” Lather said. “I talk to him two to three times a day. It’s amazing to see how much he has grown, and I am proud to see him handling situations like an adult on his own.”

Edwards and the Mean Green next face Kansas on the road at 7 p.m. Friday.

“I just took the open drive and they didn’t bring help, so I took the shot,” White said. “I was feeling good, they would go up 7 and 8 points and we were able to come back at them.”

Feeding off the momentum of the comeback, the Mean Green scored 8 straight points off White’s two 3s and a jumper by senior guard Tristan Thompson to start overtime and never looked back en route to the win.

“We just knew we had to get stops,” senior guard Dominique Johnson said. “We finally got the two or three stops that we needed in overtime and it felt amazing.”

Senior forward George Odufuwa made his presence felt down low, recording a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds.

“Rebounding is more an attitude than anything else,” Odufuwa said. “They had a lot of length, but I just had to be relentless.”

There isn’t much time for the Mean Green to celebrate the win, as it takes on the No. 6 team in the country when it faces Kansas on the road at 7 p.m. Friday.

“The fact that he is such a fast

learner helps him a lot.”

“The will to win and gut out close games has also been absent

for six years.”

There is really no other way to begin this article other than by stating: I am a Socialist. I am in the International Socialist Organization, which is a part of a nationwide organization with international ties. We believe in the abolishment of private property and the redistribution of wealth in the world. We call for an interna-tional working class revolution. We do not advocate so-called socialist countries like China, Cuba or North Korea. While I could continue on about the principles of the organization, there is an important issue at hand. That is this: Capitalism needs to move out of the way because the exploitation and oppression of the majority of the people in the world has gone on long enough.

Socialism has every place in this day and age where there is enough food to feed the entire world, yet millions die of malnutrition and starvation

every year. While millions sit in jails for petty crimes, the real criminals are ruling the world. Socialism has every place in a society that denies people the basic necessities of life because according to the current system, people are not working hard enough. It is not that people do not work hard enough; it is that we are kept down by a system that thrives on our exploita-tion. It is this class, the ruling class, which has decided the lives of people in the world. It is time we move to a society that has political parties that represent the people and not themselves.

If you are worried about long lines, I have news for you: There are long lines even in this society. But I do not want to spend time on naïve argu-ments. If you are worried about waiting in a line for health services, then it is time to begin re-thinking the world

you live in, and why people are denied things like food, shelter and health care .

If history has taught us anything, it is that: a. We have not always lived in this type of society, b. Change comes through people mobi-lizing together and demanding change. For example, the women’s suffrage movement, the civil rights movements and the GLBT struggle. It was only months after the National Equality March last year in DC that gay marriage was legal-ized. It was protest that saved the life of an innocent man on death row, Kenneth Foster. It was protest that decreased the 10-hour plus workday to eight hours.

If you still need convincing about socialism’s legitimacy, just look to London, France and Greece, where strikes and protests are filling the streets. This shows people are in fact not satisfied with the current

system we all live in. But we do not even have to look that far to see that people are looking for an alternative. Dan La Botz, of the Socialist Party in Illinois, received thousands of votes during this year’s midterm election.

I encourage somebody to set up a “Does Gravity Exist” booth next to the ISO table. Just because an idea is old is a meaningless argument in regards to validity. Better yet, I cha l lenge ever yone who actually cares about the present and future world to a join a movement that repre-sents your interests. Join the Socialists. Become a part of a movement that will change the world.

Bush’s visit not wasted money

Editorial

{{{

Campus ChatDo you think George W.

Bush coming to speak is good publicity for the university?

“Any publicity is good publicity.”

“Yes, because he’s the former president. I’m going. It gets people’s

attention on the university.”

“Yes. It’s big for us, especially with this being a public school where all

views are shared.”

Former President George W. Bush will speak at 8 p.m. tonight in the Coliseum in front of a sold-out crowd as a part of UNT’s Distinguished Lecture Series. Bush will be paid $100,000 for the visit, which comes from student fees.

Many students have opposed the former president’s visit, complaining that student fees shouldn’t pay for him to speak at our university — but the fees are already reserved for the series each year.

The Distinguished Lecture Series committee places 12 finalists on a ballot during the Student Government Association’s presidential election every year based on input from student organizations and individuals. Students then vote on the speakers and the finalists are ranked from the highest number of votes to the lowest. Bush ranked third on the list two years ago. He declined to come because he wasn’t making appearances at the time, but this year, set to launch a national book publicity tour, he approached UNT for the opportunity.

The 12 finalists selected aren’t always viable candidates; they’re a representation of who students have expressed interest in having visit. They’re often unavailable for a variety of reasons. For instance, perennial TV personality Mike Rowe received a large percentage of the vote last year but wasn’t giving public speeches at the time.

Many have argued that $100,000 is too much to pay Bush, yet many lower-profile figures often ask for much more. For example, former president Jimmy Carter — who received fewer votes than Bush — asked for more money. Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice asked for more than $100,000 in addition to a requirement that UNT provide a private jet.

The series has a budget of $180,000 this year and will make $10,000 to $20,000 from ticket sales. The money that isn’t used from the budget rolls over to the next year. Students must pay these fees regardless, so paying Bush $100,000 is using what was allotted.

Bush returned to the public eye after releasing his memoir Nov. 9 and breaking ground on his presidential library in Dallas. He chose our university as an outlet to launch his memoir, and the Editorial Board believes that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Bush’s memoir is meant to give the nation an inside look at his presidency.

He is one of the first conservative speakers to visit our campus – and he was the commander-in-chief for eight years. This opportunity isn’t presented to UNT often. Not only did Bush fit the series’ budget, but also students voted for him to come here. Those against his visit had a chance to vote against it, but less than 10 percent of UNT students voted at all.

Several Facebook groups opposing his visit and its cost have been created, and fliers were distributed around campus to protest. The Editorial Board asks those planning to protest to be respectful so our university is portrayed in a positive manner and to be thankful for the opportunity to have their protest publicized on a national scale.

Move out of the way, Capitalism!

“For sale: baby’s shoes, never worn.” Ernest Hemingway’s shor test shor t stor y has teased me for years, but I was unprepared for it to resurface this afternoon while I was observing a high school news-paper class. Brian Thomas, a creative writing and journalism teacher at Flower Mound High School, assigned his students the task of writing six-word memoirs, drawing the limit from Hemingway’s story and hoping to teach them about concise storytelling and effec-tive use of language.

Student responses were varied and insightful, and each provided a glimpse into the world of the teenage students, from “tried to get a tattoo; failed” to “I should change my faith. Maybe.” Thomas got in on the action as well, writing “Hated high school. Became a teacher,” and “Bouncer job prepared me for teaching.”

The responses hang around the room, each screaming out the inner thoughts of the writer, each taunting me as I scanned the walls, distracting me as I tried to focus on talking with the students and examining the curriculum.

As soon as I got home, I Googled it. There are books full of six-word memoirs, hundreds of blog posts about the meaning of Hemingway’s original story, and a new movement in the same vein called “Twitterature,” which challenges Tweeters to write stories in 20 Tweets or less. People, particularly teenagers, are telling stories in six words, 140 characters, and 20 Tweets — limits largely untapped by English teachers and so thoroughly postmodern that even Tralfamadorians, the aliens in Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five,” would approve.

Is telegraphic fiction a new

movement? I hope so. These flashes of stories blow my mind, and in a world that spends horrifyingly small amounts of time reading, they provide a glimpse of hope. Hope not only for the writing profession, but for a society that cares about the written word, be it on a cell phone screen or a library shelf.

The implications aren’t limited to classrooms. Aspiring writers may find an outlet in fiction that doesn’t require hundreds of pages of writing, and busy readers can complete a story in the time it takes to microwave another unhealthy dinner.

Journalism, as usual, is ahead of the bar. Headlines have summed up stories in about six words long before the advent of Twitter or even Hemingway. Already, news outlets tweet breaking stories, but what about features? Can

we write in-depth, descrip-tive prose with even tighter limits than our editors already impose? If we want to keep readership, I suggest trying.

This is not to say that long-form writing is irrelevant — that is far from the truth. I simply look forward to this trend catching on. It’s more than a little addictive.

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
