After years of heated debate, development of the formerly empty lot on Fry Street has begun to take shape as construc-tion on the project continues.

Construction, which began in August, is still in its prelimi-nary stages and isn’t expected to be finished until August 2012, just in time for fall semester move-ins.

Progress was halted when development company United Equities battled with the city for allowance to build a drive-thru

CVS Pharmacy on the property in 2007.

“A lot of people said, ‘Let’s have a creative approach,’ but this guy broke every rule of community engagement and exasperated the decision,” said Kevin Roden, a Denton City Council member. “When it came down to him wanting to put in a drive-thru, he had already made every community group angry.”

After not receiving approval for the drive-thru pharmacy, United Equities sold the prop-erty to current developer

Dinerstein Companies. “The current owner comes

often to community meetings,” Roden said. “One of the main things that a lot of the commu-nity members were pushing was instead of just making apart-ments, to make retail, to kind of match what the area was: commercial.”

From this collaboration of community and developer, Sterling Fry Street, a student living facility, has been born. The complex will include 194 living units and 614 beds.

The apartments, which will

begin preleasing this month, are expected to release pricing and floor plans this week, according to the apartment’s Facebook page.

So far it is known that the apartments wil l be fully furnished and come with a 42-inch flat-screen TV in the living room.

The apartments are expected to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certification with the inclusion of onsite recycling.

Two bills passed during the student senate’s Wednesday meeting will give a number of student organizations repre-sentation in the senate and al low Student Government Association President Blake W i nd ha m more execut ive de c i s ion-m a k i n g p ow e r s concerning spending.

Senators Sean Smallwood and Matt Varnell sponsored the non-voting delegates bill to create delegate positions for the four Greek Councils and the Coa lit ion of Black St udent Orga n i zat ions on c a mpu s. T he bi l l w ou ld allow these groups to have a representative present at senate meetings to have full participation rights short of voting, like making motions and contributing to discus-sions.

“These are representative organizations of smaller orga-nizations,” Smallwood said of the groups that the bill would create positions for. “I just felt like, if we’re looking for representative delegates, then those are the bodies that we should be looking towards.”

The 2012 presidential elec-tions are more than a year away, but political campaigns for the

nation’s highest office are in full swing.

President Obama visited North Texas on Tuesday to raise money for his re-election

campaign and deliver rousing speeches to rally support for his proposed jobs bill.

(MCT) SAN JOSE, Calif. — Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs was remembered on Wednesday as a technology icon whose drive and creativity forever changed Silicon Valley and the way millions of people around the globe communicate with each other.

Jobs “exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity,” President Barack Obama said in a state-ment.

“Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last,” Obama said. “Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire indus-tries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: He changed the way each of us sees the world.”

Apple announced Jobs’ death Wednesday evening, saying in a statement: “We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.

“It’s important to us that we obtain the official desig-nation and we’re environ-mentally progressive,” said Brian Dinerstein, new busi-ness partner of Dinerstein Companies. “We’re t he biggest green developer of student housing in the country.”

P a r t of t he a p a r t-ments’ “green” qualities is the bum-a-bike program, which developed through the U.S. Green Building Council.

“We prov ide a bunch of bikes that the students and renters can borrow and take them to class,” Dinerstein said.

The executive expenditures bill will change the SGA presi-dent’s spending cap from $400 to $1,000. Under the current bylaws, the president must present any expenditure greater than $400 to the senate for approval.

The $400 figure has remained the same for the past several years, despite the SGA’s budget growing from about $50,000 to

more than $150,000, SGA Vice President Edwin Chavez said.

The bill is meant to minimize the number of expenditures the senate has to approve and to make the president’s spending and the senate meetings more efficient, Chavez said.

College of Arts and Sciences senator Justin Wood said he’s concerned that students voting

Continued from page 1

on the bill could misinterpret its meaning to be that the increase of the spending cap will also mean an increase in student fees. The money the SGA spends comes directly from its budget, which will not increase.

“I do think, in principle, [the bill is] a really good idea, and I hope it gets passed,” Wood said.

Students will have the oppor-tunity to vote on these bills between midnight on Monday, Oct. 12 and 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16 at untsga.com.

The SGA also passed a third bill, which will not be up for a student body vote, regarding catering for UNT’s Pit Stop event. The bill allocates $500 of the SGA budget to be used for catering for the second annual basket-ball season kick-off event at the Syndicate that will take place Nov. 7.

UNT’s Verde Catering will provide food for the event, which the SGA hopes will attract more people, according to the bill.

Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha of the political science faculty said the speech was part of the “permanent campaign” that is so intrinsic to American poli-tics.

“It’s hard to disentangle a policy speech from a political speech or a campaign speech,” Eshbaugh-Soha said.

Politicians, both to the left and right of the political spec-trum, had to walk a fine line to push genuine policy changes and still appeal to moderate voters, he said.

In pushing for passage of the proposed American Jobs Act, Obama has taken a tougher stance regarding Congress, calling out Republicans to vote on the bill. Eshbaugh-Soha described this as an effec-tive way to appeal to American voters.

“Everybody hates Congress,” Eshbaugh-Soha said. “That’s a popular position right there.”

In a pol l released by Rasmussen Reports on Sept. 27, Americans’ approval rating of Congress is at an all-time low, with only 9 percent of respon-dents reporting they thought Congress was doing a good job.

Obama’s approval ratings are also relatively low at about 42 percent, according to a recent Gallup poll.

No one clear frontrunner has emerged from the pool of Republican candidates, although the candidates and Republican voters have one defined goal.

“It’s going to come down to finding the guy who can beat Obama,” Eshbaugh-Soha said.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has never lost an election, has slipped behind Republicans Mitt Romney and Herman Cain in recent polls.

Far-right voters who compose the largest voting bloc in Republican primaries, such as the tea party, are turned off by some of Perry’s stances on immigration, Eshbaugh-Soha said. Perry approved a law that allows some children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at colleges and univer-sities.

“The nation didn’t really know Perry before, and one thing national campaigns do is bring a lot of attention,” Eshbaugh-Soha said. “The devil’s in the details.”

He said tea party voters

reluctant to support the more moderate Romney had turned to Perry, but their enthusiasm waned the more they learned about the governor.

However, Eshbaugh-Soha said Perry is far from being out of the race.

Perry has raised more than $17 million for his campaign in the seven weeks since announcing his candidacy, according to a press release his campaign distributed on Wednesday.

“Perry’s still going to be a strong candidate if he can overcome some road bumps,” Eshbaugh-Soha said, refer-encing the massive amount of money his campaign has generated.

Accounting junior and self-described conservative Steven Dunson said he was unhappy with most of the Republican candidates running in the primaries.

“Most of them are lacking in political integrity, and I don’t just want to settle for a safe

vote on a candidate I don’t agree with,” Dunson said.

Dunson, a supporter of Republican candidate Ron Paul, said he was disturbed at the state of political campaigns in the U.S.

“They’re all the same,” Dunson said. “Ron Paul’s the only real conservative who’s not just a politician.”

The next Republican candi-date debate is scheduled for Oct. 11.

S t e v e ’s b r i l l i a n c e , passion and energy were the source of count less innovations that enrich a nd improve a l l of our lives. The world is immea-surably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.”

Apple d id n’t relea se deta i ls of Jobs’ deat h, such as when he died or the cause and a company spokeswoma n decl ined to comment beyond the statement the company released. Jobs was 56.

In honor of its legendary founder, Apple remade its website, putting a picture of Jobs front and center on it s home page. By clicking on the picture, users were greeted with a statement about him from the company.

“A p p l e h a s l o s t a v isiona r y a nd creat ive genius and the world has lost an amazing human being,” t he Apple page said. “Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor.

He added: “On behalf of all of us at Google and more broadly in technology, you will be missed very much.”

Google CEO La rr y Page a nd Facebook CEO Ma rk Zuckerberg bot h t ha n ked Jobs for mentoring t hem. Page said Jobs contacted him af ter he took over Google earlier this year.

“He was very kind to reach out to me ... and spend time of fer i ng h i s adv ic e a nd knowledge even though he was not at all well,” Page said in a post on Google+. “He always seemed to be able to say in very few words what you actua l ly shou ld have been t hink ing before you thought it.

Some students who have become used to the more quiet Fry Street wonder if the buildings will create more noise.”

“It was kind of nice having Denton be sort of desolate during the summer,” said Felipe Lerner, a radio, tele-vision and film senior. For some younger students who have never experienced what once occupied the area and only know it as an empty lot, the construction is nothing to grumble about.

“I just think it’s all busi-ness,” said Alyssa Sylvester, a math sophomore. “Whoever owns the land has the right to do what they want to do with it.”

New Found Glory’s seventh album, “Radiosurgery” was released Tuesday and contains 11 brand-new tracks.

The band is headed by lead singer Jordan Pundik. Chad Gilbert plays guitar and is backed up by Steve Klein on rhythm guitar. Ian Grushka plays bass, and Cyrus Bolooki plays the drums. The group has been in business for 12 years since the release of its first album, “Nothing Gold Can Stay.”

The band’s previous big album, “Catalyst,” was released in 2004, and although it’s released two other albums

since then, they don’t compare to “Radiosurgery.”

The name of the album is a metaphor that is used throughout the album, which devotes much of its lyrical content to singing about relationship problems.

It’s the same topic the musi-cians have touched for years, and it’s surprising that on the seventh album they’re still covering the same material.

Their inspiration for the album is obviously from the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” trying to forget their memories of past relation-ships by going under surgery … radiosurgery, that is.

The first single, “Radiosurgery,” starts the album with the sound of a hard guitar riff, which gives the fans a sense of what to expect

in the rest of the tracks.While the album doesn’t

produce much by way of origi-nality, Pundik makes the band’s best effort. His vocals sound less high-pitched than in previous albums and at least offers the album an attempt at a fresh sound.

The song “I’m Not the One” is one fans will love. Its upbeat tempo and easy-to-remember chorus makes it hard to resist singing along.

“Drill It in My Brain” isn’t the typical New Found Glory song. It has a sound similar to ‘90s Green Day albums, perhaps paying homage to the band’s roots in ‘90s punk-rock alterna-tive music.

The album finishes with a couple of bonus tracks that

Jokes were told and hilarity ensued in the dank base-ment of J&J’s Pizza at the first live rendition of Crisman’s Comedy Soundcheck Monday night.

The show was set up by Sarah Crisman, a local come-d ia n a nd U N T a lu m nu s whose passion for laughs runs deep.

“Comedy is underrepre-sented in Denton right now,” said Crisman, who also hosts a popular comedy podcast with her comedian boyfriend Nathan Guerra. “I thought of just making it available, doing a fun free show where people could come to a show and not have to break the bank.”

The podcast, called “The Cr isma n Show,” feat u res obscure music and comedy and has close to 450 Facebook fans.

C r i sma n, w ho booke d bands at J&J’s while earning her creative writing degree, sa id she’s wa nted to do comedy since she was 10 years old, and began doing standup about three months ago.

She said she was inspired to bring the comedy show to Denton after being intro-duced to the tight-knit comic scene i n t he Da l las-For t Worth area.

“There’s an audience for it; they’re available, you just have to station yourself, find a spot, and make yourself

include a cover of “Blitzkrieg Bop,” by the iconic band Ramones, which like all classics should’ve been left alone.

Although they’ve managed to tweak up their sound a bit, it just seems they’re trying too hard to fit into the framing of what punk rock should be, and instead comes out as a whining bunch of guys with yet another broken heart.

Not to be m ista ken, “Radiosurgery” is the best record they’ve released in years. It leaves the band’s last big album, “Catalyst,” in the dust, but next time New Found Glory should consider a different topic to sing about.

known,” she said. Throughout the show, six

comedians came up to the stage, taking turns with their varied comical styles in front of a crowd of about two dozen. Some told of fensive, racy

jokes, while others referenced popular culture, making fun of everything from jocks to Tiananmen Square.

“It was a really great excuse to have a break in the middle of your week and come out

and laugh at something super offensive,” said Loren Bolton, a public relations senior.

Bolton said he heard about the show through Crisman a nd Guerra a nd ca me to support Denton’s blooming comedy scene.

Josh Johnson, an up-and-coming comedian from Fort Wor t h, sa id he dedicates his life to comedy. Having given up his day job, Johnson performs six to seven nights a week at various clubs around the area.

“This is an art, just l ike painting, and you’re never going to be a better painter if you don’t paint your ass off, so I’m trying to go out and paint as many times as I can,” he said.

Johnson had always been a m bi t i ou s a b ou t d oi n g comedy, performing for about seven years. He said it a l l started when he was 15. Over the years, after he served in the Army and got married, he decided to start doing comedy and live the bohemian life. He’s had his comedy sketches featured on funnyordie.com a nd has even met comic superstar Will Ferrell, who’d seen his work.

“If you give yourself to comedy completely, you’re going to get something out of it, positive or negative,” he said.

C r i sm a n, ent hu si a s t ic about holding the show in the basement where she had once booked bands, said she hopes this is just the begin-ning.

“I would love to see it trend more, and I’m going to keep doing shows like this and it’s so much fun,” she said.

In a nondescript room on the third floor of UNT’s Life Sciences Complex, trained volunteers handle hundreds of anxious, sometimes frantic phone calls every month as soon-to-be parents wait to learn if they’ve unintention-ally endangered the health of their unborn baby.

Serving residents from 19 different states, the Texas Teratogen Information Service Pregnancy Riskline handles between 200 and 300 calls a month from parents seeking advice on pregnancy health risks.

According to the agen-cy’s website, teratogens are anything that may lead to a miscarriage, birth defects, learning problems, or the death of an unborn child. Parents usually call during the pregnancy and breast-feeding process.

“We counsel about things as simple as coloring your hair or getting your nails done, anything that you come into contact with,” agency director Lori Wolfe said. “People call about pumping gasoline. Although it can be bad if you’re inhaling enough, for the most part you can pump your own gas.”

Wolfe, who also serves as president of the agen-cy’s national branch, the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists, said teratogens can be any type of exposure during a pregnancy, from taking over-the-counter medications to smoking mari-juana or drinking alcohol.

She said 60 percent of the calls are from residents outside of Texas.

Online databases, books, and health professionals are resources the agency uses to provide callers with the best information, Wolfe said.

She urged parents considering adoption to call and ask about the risks they are taking if the birth mother engaged in alcohol drinking or other harmful behav-iors.

Angela Wynn, a UNT alumna who works at the agency, said the way the teratogen is taken, through inhalation, injection, or orally, greatly affects the baby, especially when breastfeeding.

Wynn said several expecting parents call freaking out, thinking they have already done harm to their baby based on unreliable

online information. “A lot of it is just analyzing

the research that we have and breaking up the myths that are online and putting it into perspective for their timing,” she said. “We’re putting it into perspective for a very specific risk, not a general risk for the population.”

Denton resident Mandy Anderson, said she called the agency when she wanted more information during a difficult pregnancy.

“You have these random ques-tions and feel you drive your doctor’s office crazy,” Anderson said. “Here they never hesitate to answer questions. They’re very helpful.”

Biology senior Ivan Tomanek, one of the agency’s few male volunteers, said the research he’s done at the agency has given him valuable insight into the medical field. He said he’s provided infor-mation for in vitro clinics, nurses and other healthcare providers who call on a regular basis.

“It’s a unique experience you can’t get at another univer-sity,” Tomanek said. “It’s a great program and counseling-trained profession. I can’t get it anywhere else.”

The service has health fairs in Denton and different areas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. UNT provides office space for the orga-nization and all other services are paid for through donations.

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

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

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

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

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

month, which is where the idea came from.

Shannon Drawe, a photogra-

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

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

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

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

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

“What we hope is [to gain] a

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

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

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

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

Robin Huttash owns A

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

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

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

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

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

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

BY TARYN WALKERIntern

Months of hard work all come down to one night.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wert’s modern piece includes

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

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

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

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

In Caldwell’s choreography, dancers explore the experi-

Seniors to debut their dance works Friday

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

harmonies. Caldwell said her piece is about

blindness as an experience, not a handicap.

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

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

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

A group of UNT preser-vationists is wel l into the second year of a four-year project to preserve a delicate collection of more than 5,000 historic Texas maps for future generations.

But it’s not the paper and ink they’re worried about.

A rmed w it h a $ 315,000 g r a nt , a h ig h-resolut ion camera and processing soft-ware, the team is digitizing the documents one-by-one a nd t hen upload i ng t he images to the Portal of Texas History, an online registry of digitized historic documents shared by public l ibraries and institutions across the state.

T h e p r o j e c t i s e n t i -t l e d “ M a p p i n g o f t h e Southwest,” and researchers have uploaded 200 docu-ments since it began. The col lection is being loaned by the University of Texas at Arlington and contains some maps used by Spanish conquistadors that are more than 400 years old.

“UT-Arlington has one of the most stellar map collec-t ions in t he countr y, and so we thought it would be great to work w ith them,” said Dreanna Belden, t he U N T L ibr a r y ’s a s si st a nt dean for external relations. “The National Endowment for the Humanities offers grants to do these sorts of proj-ects, so we worked together

T he maps a re a l ig ned a n d a v a c u u m h o s e d raws t he i mage aga i nst the easel before an image can be taken. The process, which utilizes a 340-mega-pixel camera, requires the full attention of the group’s t h r e e h i g h l y q u a l i f i e d photographers, said Jerrell Jones, one of the UNT digital imaging technicians.

“We also check to make sure the camera is aligned w it h t he easel ; i f ever y-t hing isn’t pa ra l lel, t hen there will be problems with the image and sharpness,” Jones said.

“I will use the color profile

Once the maps are scanned, the technician’s job is just getting started.

“Sca n n ing t he maps is one thing, but putting them online is a different process,” Jones said, referring to the process of cataloging each map with a written descrip-tion.

Question: The UNT soccer team has never had a losing season in its entire history. What year did the team begin playing?

Answer: Under the leadership of head coach John Hedlund, the team has notched a winning season each year since its start in 1995.

Be sure to follow the NT Daily Sports Twitter, @NTDailySports, for updates on Mean Green athletics and more UNT sports trivia!

Mean Green Trivia

Transfer eyes future LPGA playing careerIAN JACOBYIntern

Of the 123 international golfers competing in LPGA tour today, 43 grew up in South Korea.

In her second season at UNT, one Mean Green player has posit ioned herself to become the 44th.

Growing up in Seoul, South Korea, senior Jacey Chun made her first trip to the U.S. in 2007 with the sole intention of playing professional golf.

Chun traveled overseas to attend the Hank Haney Golf School in Dallas, where she met her swing coach and mentor Steve Johnson.

“When I first met Jacey, I noticed her great attitude.” Johnson said. “She didn’t speak much English, but she was determined to stay.”

After seeing Chun play, Johnson said he knew she was a special talent.

“She wasn’t one of the most experienced golfers,” Johnson said. “But they [instructors at the school] tested her, and said she had the balance and quickness and strength of a female Tiger Woods.”

While earning her bach-elor’s degree at Brookhaven College, Chun worked with Johnson to hone her skills. Johnson got his friend and former coworker at the Hank Haney School, UNT head coach Jeff Mitchell, to watch Chun play, leading to her arrival at UNT.

“I went and saw her at a golf tournament in Euless and she ended up winning the whole tournament. She has great fundamentals,” Mitchell said. “And a really solid and consis-tent golf swing.”

During her first few months in the U.S., Chun said the transition from South Korea to the Lone Star State was difficult.

“I missed my parents and my mom’s food. I became

depressed and stopped playing golf for a little while.” Chun said. “But my parents were supportive and I eventually got back into it. I was watching Tiger and he inspired me to compete.”

With a grin, Chun quipped that Woods, her favorite golfer, only inspires her game, not her personal decisions. Despite a strong sense of humor, Chun lets her play on the course do most of the talking.

“She has a very even and calm demeanor,” Mitchell said. “Nothing affects her mentally. She’s quiet, but she has a good sense of humor.”

Chun made an immediate impact during her first season with the Mean Green. In her first semester, she notched Top-10 finishes in four of her

f irst f ive tournaments, got placed on the 2011 All-Sun Belt Conference Team and ranked third on the team with a stroke average of 75.76.

This season, Chun’s success has continued, as she leads the team in stroke average.

The 5-foot-6-inch trans-fer’s value was evident at the Dick McGuire Invitational Tou r n a ment t w o w e ek s ago. Playing without Chun, UNT finished 13th out of 15 teams.

Chun missed play while trying to earn LPGA member-ship at the league’s qualifying tour in Venice, Florida.Though she failed to qualify, Chun played well enough to become eligible for the LPGA’s Futures Tour in 2012.

A former pro on the PGA Tour, Mitchell said Chun has the ability and work ethic to eventually qualify.

“She has the talent it takes to play on the tour,” Mitchell said. “She knows what skills she’s missing, and she works day by day to develop them.”

While Chun’s immediate future is with the Mean Green, her ex pectat ions beyond college are all professional.

“I have so much fun playing golf,” Chun said. “This is what I want to do.”

“I have so much fun playing golf.

This is what I want to do.”

Despite being projected to win the Sun Belt West Division in the preseason, the Mean Green (10-9, 1-3) has struggled in conference play, winning only one of its first four Sun Belt matches.

UNT will try to recover from its recent struggles when it travels this weekend to Arkansas for matches against conference rivals Arkansas-Little Rock (7-12, 2-3) and Arkansas State (13-6, 4-1).

“I think we have a bit of a bullseye on our back,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “After being picked to win our side, the teams on our side of the [Sun Belt] have taken that a little personally; I know I did last year and wanted to beat the teams ahead of us.”

Scouting the opponent:

Arkansas-Little RockRanking second in the

Sun Belt in blocks, UALR will challenge a Mean Green team that ranks last in the confer-ence in that category.

Freshman outside hitter Edina Begic leads the Trojans, averaging 3.42 kills per set, and ranks in the Sun Belt second in digs with 2.40 per set.

Outside hitters freshmen Eboni Godfrey and senior Shelley Morton will be needed to keep UNT on the attack.

Mean Green plans to end conference woes

Godfrey leads the team with 3.16 kills per set while Morton has averaged 3.11 kills per set in conference play.

“We have something to prove now,” Godfrey said. “As long as we come out strong, we think we can win every game.” The teams will begin play at 7 p.m. Friday.

Arkansas State The Red Wolves are on a

roll, going 8-1 in their last nine games and sitting atop the Sun Belt West Division.

ASU was projected to finish second in the West behind UNT in the Sun Belt preseason polls.

With senior middle blocker Cayla Fielder notching the Sun

After a disappointing trip to Louisiana last weekend, the Mean Green will split its matches in Arkansas.

Prediction:

Senior outside hitter Shelley Morton spikes the ball against Sun Belt foe Florida Atlantic’s three-person block on Sep. 25. The Mean Green will next face confer-ence rivals Arkansas-Little Rock and Arkansas State on the road this weekend.

Belt top hitting percentage at .371, ASU has won 21 of its last 28 sets. Fielder set a career-high hitting percentage against Troy last week with .750.

The Mean Green’s best chance is to counter Fielder’s top play with strong blocking in the front court.

UNT’s f inal game of the weekend will start a 7 p.m. Saturday.

route to three consecutive shutouts. Stop and think about that for a second.

Don’t worry, I’ll wait.Now that you’ve let that

soak in, I’d be remiss if I didn’t also acknowledge the play of the last line of defense before Kerestine. Seniors Shannon Gorrie and Hannah Crawford and sophomores Kelsey Hodges and Allison Guderian have played excel lent ly over t h is st retch, not even allowing most shots to get to Kerestine.

He r e’s w h a t m a k e s UN T’s st i ng i ness even more i mpressive : T he team is doing it during the most important time of the season, which is confer-ence play.

R e m e m b e r, c o n f e r-ence standings are deter-mined by conference win-loss records. Basically, you can go undefeated in non-conference play, but if you end up with a bad confer-ence record, you might be one of four teams left out in the cold when the Sun Belt’s top eight teams go to Murfreesboro, Tenn., for the conference tour-nament.

With its current balanced attack of steady offense and suffocating defense, UNT is ensuring it will be one of the eight instead of being one of the four.

Quarterback commands o� ense

Bobby’s World:‘D’ dominatingBOBBY LEWISSenior Staff Writer

There’s an old sports adage that defense wins champi-onships. It’s said so many times by sportscasters that it’s become a cliché thrown around way too much.

However, that doesn’t mean it’s not right.

Great of fense brings in the fans, but great defense brings in the rings. It’s great to have all the f lash of a great offensive attack, but if you don’t have an equally great defense, you’l l be on your couch watching another team have postseason success.

Right now, the UNT soccer team is playing like it wants to be the team making the deep postseason run.

From t he outset of t he season, it was pretty obvious that UNT (9-3-1, 4-0-0) could score with any team in the countr y. The team sits in second place in the 12-team Sun Belt Conference a nd ranks first in the conference in goals and goals per game. UNT’s 2.77 goals per game also ranks ninth in the entire country.

That offense has allowed UNT to administer its share of beatdowns, with the team scoring at least four goals in three games.

Like I said, that’s great and it’s extremely entertaining to watch, but UNT is on its current four-game winning streak because its defense has turned it up a few notches.

On said streak, the Mean Green has outscored its oppo-nents 10-1, giving it the best goal differential in the confer-ence.

Freshman goalkeeper Jackie Kerestine hasn’t surrendered a goal in over 303 minutes en

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers are back in the AL championship series and waiting for an opponent.

This is a team that didn’t win a postseason series in the fran-chise’s first 49 seasons before getting to the World Series last year. Now the Rangers have advanced in the playoffs two years in a row.

“We committed ourselves to a goal (last spring) and they made it to that goal, we are getting another opportunity to play to go to the World Series,” manager Ron Washington said Wednesday, a day after the Rangers wrapped up their AL division series with a 4-3 victory at Tampa Bay.

“I don’t see where it gives us any advantage,” he said. “The only thing it does, we certainly know what we have to do. I think our guys are more aware of getting to this point is not where we want to be. We want to be playing in the World Series.”

Game 1 of the AL champi-onship series is Saturday. For the Rangers, it will be either an ALCS rematch starting at the New York Yankees or at home against Detroit.

The Tigers and Yankees play the deciding Game 5 of their AL division series Thursday night in New York.

Texas won its first-ever playoff game 15 years ago at old Yankee Stadium before New York won three in a row to clinch that series. The Yankees swept the 1998 and 1999 series, outscoring Texas 23-2 in those six games. New York went to the World Series all three times.

Fit t i ng ly, t he Ra ngers clinched its first World Series berth after beating the Yankees in a six-game AL champion-ship series last October before losing in five games to the San Francisco.

Texas backed up its first AL pennant by setting a franchise record with 96 wins this season. They have won three AL playoff

series in a row after eliminating the Rays in four games.

“You don’t accomplish things like that unless you’ve got a lot of people with the same vision pulling hard and pulling together,” said general manager Jon Daniels, who is wrapping up his sixth season in that position. “We set out a few years ago to try to build something that would sustain over time, and we’re not there yet. But hopefully we’ll be able to look back 10 years from now and say, ‘Hey, we did some-thing pretty special.’”

The Rangers have improved their record each year under Washington, who is in his fifth season.

“I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished on the field and as an organization, but still a few significant steps ahead of us to reach our goal,” Daniels said.

Rangers players got a day off Wednesday, their first at home since Sept. 12 when they had a break during a homestand.

They will work out Thursday and Friday at Rangers Ballpark. Even if they have to fly to New York later Friday, they plan to have their workout at home before leaving. There were no plans to get together as a team Thursday night to watch the Tigers-Yankees game.

“We take the rest today. ... We need it,” Washington said. “We played down the stretch. Although I gave a few guys some days off, I certainly didn’t give them as many days off or as much time off as I wanted to, but we were constantly playing at a high level because even though we won the division, we still had to play at a high level to make sure we kept the home-field advantage.”

C.J. Wilson, who lost the AL division series opener against Tampa Bay, is set to start Game 1 of the AL championship series. Washington said the rest of the rotation would be determined once the Rangers know who they are playing.

Derek Thompson, a sophomore from Glen Rose, Texas, earned the starting quarterback position and was named o� ensive co-captain at the start of the season. Thompson was injured during UNT’s last game against Tulsa, but is expected to play in Saturday’s game against Florida Atlantic at Apogee Stadium.

PAUL BOTTONI Senior Staff Writer

The position of quarterback is not meant for everyone. Acting as the team’s field general, quar-terbacks face the rigors of public pressure and are looked to for leadership by teammates. Not all are up for the challenge; Derek Thompson is.

After a summer-long battle with freshman Andrew McNulty and sophomore Brent Osborn, Thompson was given the starting job during fall camp.

Four games into the season, the redshirt sophomore has steadily improved his play on the field and has shown glimpses of his potential.

“[I look for] talent, ability, mental and physical toughness and leadership [in my quarter-backs],” UNT head coach Dan McCarney said. “Derek has those things.”

Multi-sport athleteThompson played a number

of sports other than football while at Glen Rose High School, including basketball, baseball and track. However, Thompson felt his future was on the grid-iron.

“I knew as I got further along in high school that football was one of my better sports,” Thompson said. “It was between that and baseball, but as I grew older my passion for football grew greater.”

The native of Glen Rose, Texas – a town of around 2,400 people about an hour southwest of Fort

Worth – passed for more than 2,600 yards, threw 26 touchdowns and ran for 13 touchdowns during his senior year in 2008, earning him the District 7-3A Offensive Player of the Year.

Thompson was recruited by schools like New Mexico State and Stephen F. Austin, but ulti-mately chose UNT.

“I came on my official visit and just fell in love with the campus,” Thompson said. “Riley [Dodge] was my host and got to hang out with the guys. I knew the stadium was being built and there was a lot of buzz on campus. I knew I wanted to play here.”

What makes a quarterback great?

Thompson grew up watching the Dallas Cowboys and was a fan of quarterback Troy Aikman.

Nowadays, Aaron Rodgers – starting quarterback of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers – repre-sents the ideal quarterback in Thompson’s eyes.

Position: Quarterback

Year: Redshirt Sophomore

High School: Glen Rose HS

Fun Fact: During his off time – when he isn’t sleeping, he said – Thompson enjoys another sport.

“I’m a big fan of volleyball,” Thompson said. “I like to go up to the Rec sometimes and play.”

Get To Know Derek Thompson

“You have to have the ‘it’ factor and be someone who is confident on the field and calm under pres-sure,” Thompson said. “[Rodgers] has that ‘it’ factor and I like the way he presents himself.”

Thompson understands the pressures of his position and has grown into a leadership role – he was named the team’s offensive co-captain by teammates before the season.

“Being a leader on the team, you’re not always the most popular guy; you have to chew some people out,” Thompson said. “That’s just part of the posi-tion and you earn a lot of respect from your teammates.”

Junior offensive lineman Aaron Fortenberry, whose job in part is to keep Thompson upright on the field, said he has noticed a change in Thompson this season.

“Derek has really stepped it up this year,” he said. “He is a great leader and has assumed the role of the quarterback.”

Leading the UNT offenseThompson played in three

games last season before breaking his leg, becoming part of an injury epidemic in which more than 10 players were lost to season-ending injuries.

In the kinesiology major’s first win as a starter, he led UNT to its first victory of the 2011 season – and of the McCarney era – against the Indiana Hoosiers on Sept. 24, which happened to be his 21st birthday.

However, the win was bitter-sweet. During the victory, Thompson suffered a plantar fasciitis injury – painful inflam-mation of tissue on the bottom of the foot – and was unable to play in last weekend’s 41-24 loss to Tulsa.

McCarney said he expects Thompson to be back on the field this week. The Mean Green resumes Sun Belt Conference action this weekend, hosting Florida Atlantic at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

“You have to have the ‘it’ factor

and be someone who is confident

on the field.”-Derek Thompson

Do you think oil companies should disclose what chemicals they use for hydraulic fracturing

to the public?

“Yes. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t. If they’re not sharing,

that means they have something to hide.”

“I think they should because you don’t know

the long-term effects. There could be an adverse effect on the ozone and in

what we breathe.”

“Yes! They should disclose the chemicals because

people need to know. They shouldn’t be afraid to tell

people what they’re using if they have nothing to hide.”

In an effort to encourage students to perform better on standardized tests, a California high school has started to reward students who perform well on the California Standards Tests and alienate those who do not.

At Kennedy High School in La Palma, students who score well on the CST receive gold-and-black student ID cards that make them eligible for special privileges on campus like free entry to the school’s athletic events and discounts to school dances.

Students with low scores – less than “proficient” and “advanced” scores – receive white student ID cards that do not have any special benefits and can only use their card in separate, longer lunch lines than their black-and-gold cardholding peers.

Parents in the school district said the measure is insensitive and is destructive for students who struggle academically. Administrators at the school, however, said it is meant to serve as a prize for students who do well and motivation for the students who do not.

This is what America’s public education system has been reduced to – public embarrassment as an incen-tive to improve.

When the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) released its latest results in 2010, everyone from teachers to politicians was concerned. The U.S. ranked 17th in reading, 23rd in science and 31st in math – shocking numbers for an economy in decline.

China and Korea continued to dominate the United States in reading, math and science as educators in the U.S. struggle to find a way to reach children.

The problem isn’t limited to California, though.Some teachers at Ebby Halliday Elementary School in

Dallas have even gone so far as to punish their students by forbidding them from restroom trips and barring students from using their hands while eating lunch.

The social ostracism may motivate only a few students to raise their standardized test scores, but it will undoubtedly discourage students who battle with learning disabilities and other academically vulner-able children.

Students are the country’s future work force. It is time we start treating them much more respectfully if we want to remain a competitive country in today’s global economy.

Two weeks ago, many of you witnessed something that has never been done before: a Mean Green win over a Big 10 Conference opponent right here on our own campus! It was an incredible night.

It was my first win as a coach at UNT and it was the game to imagine what it would be like to win this game and have the student body rush the field … and that dream became a reality. I wouldn’t have it any other way than to celebrate my first win in this fabulous new stadium with the tremendous students and fans who helped make it possible.

Congratulations are also in order for you all.

The two-game attendance for Houston and Indiana was 49,256 – the largest two-game

attendance figure in school history!

I hope that all of you who came out for the f irst two games and celebrated the win with us on the field will bring a dozen new friends this week and for the rest of the season.

We are on pace to set the UNT a l l-t ime attenda nce record on Saturday, but in order to do so, we need to average 20,000 fans for the rest of the games. We can’t do it without you!

My coaching staff and I have been working diligently to build this football program and a big part of that includes recruiting outstanding student athletes.

Ever y t ime we ta l k to recruits we brag about the u nbel ie v able home-f ield

advantage that our students create at Apogee Stadium.

The atmosphere that you build at Apogee has a large impact on all 16 of our sports. Football games are always part of every student athlete’s recruiting experience, and your support at the games sends a message that UNT is a great place to be a student.

As a college football coach, I only get 12 chances a year to prove my worth, so every game is very meaningful. We only get four more chances to celebrate with our students and fans in Apogee Stadium this year, so we have to take advantage of every opportu-nity.

This Saturday night is our next chance to build this rela-tionship and we need you there.

The Mean Green football family appreciates the energy and passion that you have for your school.

Let’s make it another great Saturday night at Apogee!

There has been quite some mischief in regards to gas drilling around the Dallas-Fort Worth area and Denton in the last week, the results of which are outright scary.

The big news came Monday when the Magnablend chem-ical plant in Waxahachie, just south of Dallas, caught on fire, which soon spread uncontrol-lably. It consumed the whole facility and even a fire depart-ment truck on site.

T he plu me of s mok e resu lt i ng f rom such was described as “looking like an atomic bomb went off” by a witness quoted in Tuesday’s NT Daily story that covered the incident.

A s f i ref ig hter s r u shed personnel and bystanders to safety, a steady stream of chemicals from the plant escaped and settled in nearby fields and embankments.

I n i t i a l l y, M a g n a b le nd of f ic ia l s wou ld not s ay what exactly the chemicals processed in the plant were for, stat ing general ly that their productions were appli-cable to agriculture, gas and oil uses.

W hen W FA A invest iga-tive reporters pressed the matter, however, the owner of the plant acknowledged that much of the chemicals mixed were production fluids for the drilling of natural gas via hydraulic fracturing, often referred to as “fracking.”

The EPA has stated that even it was unaware of the production practices of the plant and that a risk manage-ment pla n had not been filed for such productions – baff ling.

Before the massive explo-sions and fires in Waxahachie, Denton city officials found

natural gas production griev-ances closer to home.

As reported in Wednesday’s Denton Record-Chronicle, a city employee last week found that a well site along Airport Road had set up a buried pit liner around the area, and that a pump was forcing wastewater contami-nated with fracking chemicals into nearby Hickory Creek. This creek runs right through the middle of town, and tests showed the level of contam-ination from the wastewater was well above appropriate levels.

When officials found that no city or state regulatory permits were issued to this well’s company, it was forced to halt production and clean its mess up.

Now, regardless of your or my opinions and ques-tions of ethics in regards to

general natural gas drilling practices, I believe we can all agree that willful negligence displayed by these compa-nies and others l ike them involved in such manufac-turing has no place in our society. Absolutely none.

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

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
