A man was killed in a three-car accident early Wednesday morning that shut down U.S. Highway 380 for more than 10

hours, officials said.Henry David Hudspeth,

24, a Ponder resident, was pronounced dead at t he scene around 4 a.m., after the Ford pickup he was driving crossed the center lane and collided with two oncoming trucks that were both pulling trailers, police said.

The other drivers were not injured.

The accident occurred on U.S. Highway 380 about nine miles west of Denton, near the Farm to Market 156 intersec-tion. The highway was shut down shortly after the inci-dent until 2 p.m. Traffic was diverted to Jackson Road.

Police are still investigating the cause of the accident, but said there was a light fog and mist at the time it occurred.

Touched by the devastation he saw on TV, a UNT alum is using his talents to raise money for those affected by the tsunami that struck Japan March 11.

Danny Greer, a 2008 grad-uate, is raising money for the American Red Cross’ tsunami relief efforts by selling shirts he designed on a website he created.

The website offers four T-shirt designs inspired by the colors of the Japanese flag and display inspiring messages. They sell for $15 plus shipping and handling, and all proceeds from shirt sales go straight to the Red Cross for relief efforts.

“I thought this was a good way I could collectively give more money than I could on my own,” said Greer, who studied in the radio, television and film program and now works as a video editor in Dallas. “I’m grateful for a lot of things in my life. Watching the news and seeing those people who’ve lost everything, I felt this was the least I could do to help.”

How it startedIn his spare time, Greer creates

shirts and websites and runs his own T-shirt company.

“Since I already know how to create a website and design shirts, I thought this was a neat way I could help by getting people to donate money and raise aware-ness,” he said.

Greer said his site became popular soon after its March 13 launch.

“Within four hours that the website was built, I got my first order,” he said. “Everything

UNT’s printing services was recently recognized for going green.

In December, the university’s printing and distribution solu-tions center became the first in the nation to be designated an In-Plant Sustainable and Green certified printing facility. The certification, issued by printing consulting firm TNT Sustainable Business Solutions, granted the designation based on improvements the center has made to save energy.

The center, in operation since 1925 and located in the University Services Building, is the primar y source for all printed materials for the university and was home to the North Texas Daily until 1992, said Jimmy Friend, the director of Printing and Distribution Solutions.

In recent years, the plant has been part of the univer-sity-wide movement to become more sustainable, a process Friend said has educated the plant’s staff on the benefits of environmental practices.

This summer, the plant installed the last of six new printing presses. The machines replaced 16 older presses and allow the university to save energy, Friend said.

“They’re quieter, and the toners are an environmen-tally-friendly product,” he said. “They say you can eat it, but I wouldn’t try it.”

Sachi Mitchem, a fashion merchandising junior and employee at the plant, said her responsibility is to fill enve-lopes with brochures.

“I k now t hey stopped p r i n t i n g s o m e o f t h e brochures, so they use less paper,” Mithcem said. “I think

it’s good that they are trying harder to be more green, since that’s what UNT is all about.”

Receiving certificationWith the new practices put

in place, the print shop scored a 97 out of a possible 100 during December’s on-site audit.

“In our testing and in our modeling, that’s pretty top,” said TNT Sustainable Business Solutions President and CEO

Tom Tozier. “You have to score over a 90 to be certified.”

The scoring was based on criteria for specific areas within the print shop that included managing practices, selecting vendors that prac-tice sustainability and using energy efficient equipment, Tozier said.

Tozier calculated that by adding the new presses, the center decreased its carbon dioxide output by 60 percent.

The In-Plant Sustainable and Green certification program is a three-year certification that costs $1,850 for the first year and $250 for the next two years, Tozier said.

“Throughout the year, the certi-fication will include reporting back the goals they have estab-lished and the measurements they have for those goals,” he said.

UNT alum raises money for Japan

happened fairly quickly. I knew something had to be done fast.”

Pray for Japan shirtsLaura Amidon, the database

administrator for Green Tee Printing, works with Greer to print the shirts at a discounted price, lowering overhead costs and helping to maximize the donation money.

Amidon said she thinks it’s amazing how fast he put every-thing together and how much attention the website received.

“I think he was compelled to do something right away,” she said. “All his time and skills have been donated. It’s all him and his big heart.”

The four available designs come in men’s and women’s sizes from small to XXL.

So far, Greer has sold about three dozen shirts, raising more than $500 for the cause.

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

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

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

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

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

Monthly event promotes art purchases in Denton

month, which is where the idea came from.

Shannon Drawe, a photogra-

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

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

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

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

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

“What we hope is [to gain] a

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

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

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

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

Robin Huttash owns A

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

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

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

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

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

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

BY TARYN WALKERIntern

Months of hard work all come down to one night.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wert’s modern piece includes

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

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

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

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

In Caldwell’s choreography, dancers explore the experi-

Seniors to debut their dance works Friday

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

harmonies. Caldwell said her piece is about

blindness as an experience, not a handicap.

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

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

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

A new environmental organiza-tion is hoping to gather students of all disciplines and members of the community to join in appreci-ating and protecting nature.

Students have created a UNT chapter of the national orga-nization Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversit y and Sustainability (SEEDS), which aims to help undergraduate students develop an interest and become leaders in the ecology field.

The UNT chapter is known as Students Promoting an E nv i r on me nt a l l y Aw a r e Campus.

Even though there are many university organizations that focus on environmental issues, SPEAC is different, said club pres-ident Jennifer Bailey, a biology sophomore.

“We come from a different perspective,” she said. “We want to invite the entire community to appreciate nature with us.”

The national organization undertook steps to make those working in the ecology world more diverse to get a larger range of research and science coming out of SEEDS participants.

The UNT chapter wrote its constitution in December and recently began having meetings to work on projects.

The group’s 12 members have

Rachel Garton, the co-pres-ident of the UNT Japanese Culture Organization and international studies junior, said she purchased a T-shirt because she knew the money was going to help relief efforts in Japan.

“It’s a good way to donate and keep people aware of the situa-tion in Japan,” she said. “It’s a good idea to encourage people to donate because they’re prac-tical and look good.”

Ways to help Greer said he knows people

may be wary about buying a

shirt, which is why he added links to other ways people can help and make donations.

“People don’t have to buy a shirt to donate,” he said. “I’m just trying to help raise aware-ness as much as possible.”

Amidon said purchasing a shirt is a unique way people who want to help can do their part.

“I think a lot of people want to help but don’t know what to do,” she said. “If we all use the skills we have and put in a bit of effort, we can do a lot to help.”

program was started three years ago to provide an alternative to more expensive accrediting programs, which Tozier said can average about $5,000,

Friend said five years ago, the cost of moving toward sustain-ability was a deterrent.

“I think with cost now, our vendors and manufacturers are seeing people are serious about the environment,” he said. “They are serious about sustainability. We need to make the solutions affordable.”

The Association of College and University Printers annual

conference will be in Dallas April 17 through April 21, and it will include a visit to UNT’s printing shop.

“There’s going to be about 64 different universities at this conference, and I think a lot of them will get the idea that they want to follow through and get certification after they see what we’ve done there,” Tozier said.

Friend said the certification proves UNT is showing that it’s serious in its efforts to be more sustainable and go green.

“I think we talk it, but some-times we don’t walk it,” Friend said “We’re trying to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.”

Ecology group engages UNT community

The Student Government Association tabled the issue of homecoming reform until next week’s meeting and will reconsider a vote that would create a special voting body in the senate.

Two weeks ago, the student

senate moved a bill that would reform homecoming into the organization’s internal committee. The bill would change the homecoming elec-tions, allowing people to run as individuals for positions as homecoming nobles. The senate is expected to vote on the issue Wednesday.

The senate also considered a resolution that would create a House of Representatives for the student senate. The House would consist of 28 seats for students representing different specific interests on campus. This resolution would amend the SGA’s constitution and would become an issue

posed to the student body in a special election held late in the spring semester. The senate voted on the bill and it failed initially. But, because some senators left before the vote was called, senate proce-dure allows them to question the vote at the next senate meeting.

participated in bird walks in local parks and are preparing for April’s BioBlitz, a citizen science initia-tive to collaborate with commu-nity members and survey the local biodiversity.

“There’s always a shared interest in experiencing nature,” Bailey said. “We want to bridge that gap between the commu-nity and nature.”

Bailey said SPEAC wants to use these projects as a way to gain a larger variety of members.

“We definitely want to reach out more to the art community, so we can get a more diverse group because that’s really what SEEDS is all about,” Bailey said.

Members are also offered professional development oppor-

tunities to become leaders in the field of ecology.

Faculty adviser Christopher Anderson of the biology faculty said the organization offers links to professionals mentors for students to better understand ecology professions.

“We want to train students to be leaders, not just to know about the field,” Anderson said. “It’s not just about activism for SPEAC.”

The UNT chapter has the chance to influence the national organization’s agenda by bringing up broader issues that may not be presented through other chapters, Anderson said.

Jacqueline Garrison, an anthropology junior and SPEAC

member, said she wanted to get more of a biological perspective on the environment.

“A lot of people see this divide between humans and nature, but humans are an integral part of this ecosystem,” Garrison said. “So I feel like anthropologists have a lot to offer to environ-mental issues.”

Garrison said the club’s future plans are to also work with child-hood education and community gardening projects.

The next SPEAC meeting is at 4 p.m. April 6 in Environmental Educat ion, Science a nd Technology Building 209. For more information, contact Jennifer Bailey at [email protected].

The UNT chapter of the Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability (SEEDS) focuses on environmental issues and o� ers professional mentors for those interested in careers in ecology.

The Universit y Program Council hosted its first “Star Wars Day” at the Library Mall Wednesday.

About 80 people attended the event.

Rhiana Anthony, the vice-president of campus relations for the University Program Counci l and a psycholog y sophomore, said the idea for the event came from Steven Worthington, an interdisci-plinary studies sophomore.

“We thought it’d be cool to have a lightsaber duel in the middle of the library mall,” Worthington said. “I went to talk to the UPC to see if we could make it happen and we slowly worked on it during winter break.”

Anthony said UPC decided to host the event because the “Star Wars” series has a large following.

“[“Star Wars”] has such a big culture behind it,” she said. “We wanted to do something different to reach out to those people who aren’t normally targeted.”

Star Wars DayAlthough the official “Star

Wars Day” is May 4, Anthony said the UPC couldn’t host an event on that date.

“Since we couldn’t do it on the official date, we decided to just go ahead and do it now,” she said.

Bands representing reggae to rock will fight for $1,000 in tonight’s Battle of the Bands at the Lyceum at 7 p.m.

One of the University Program Council’s biggest events, the Battle of the Bands will feature giveaways and live performances by local bands mainly comprised of UNT students, said Montreal Williams, the event coordi-nator and UPC vice president of arts.

“We have a lot of talented musicians here in Denton and at UNT who are not music majors but still want to show-case their themes,” he said.

The winner of the fourth annual competition will receive $1,000, provided through student fees, said Brittani Wilkins, the vice president of promotions for UPC.

Bands are judged on energy, creativity, stage presence and crowd appeal, said Williams. After each band plays a 20-minute set of their songs, judges will critique them and the audience will vote on a ballot for which band they prefer, he said.

The judges include the Dallas band Sleeper Star, which will perform at the end of the show, said Williams.

Jazz studies senior Sean Giddings, a member of the folk acoustic group Giddings Burchill and Parr, said he hopes to capitalize on the opportu-nity to play for the UNT audi-ence.

“It’s a cool chance to play

music for people we don’t usually get to play for,” he said.

Jake Itegboje, a member of the reggae group Afrodeezyakx a nd post-bacc a lau reate student, said he wants to get more attention for his band.

“We want people to know more about us and gain expo-sure,” Itegboje said. “It would also be good to meet other musicians,” he said.

To play at the event, bands auditioned for UPC coordi-nators and played two songs, Itegboje said.

“It was strange playing for them,” he said. “You don’t know whether you’re doing a good job or not because there’s no crowd response — just them,” he said.

Now that the bands have made it through the audi-tion process, the competition starts.

Battle of the Bands runs from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., and admission is free.

“The atmosphere is really lively, and we want the audi-ence to just enjoy music,” she said.

In addition to live perfor-mances, Battle of the Bands will partner with the Japanese Cultural Organization to help generate support for Japan, said Wilkins. Representatives from the Grove Apartments will be there and encourage students to donate to the relief effort, said Williams.

“There’s not a lot going on for Japan victims,” Williams said. “So if someone wants to donate and they have a couple of bucks, they can,” he said.

Winston Franscini, an undecided freshman, and David Schuler, a business junior, battle with lightsabers Wednesday at “Star Wars Day,” presented by the University Program Council. “Star Wars Day” included events involving “Star Wars” trivia, lightsaber duels and a “Destroy the Death Star” ball toss game.

Student’s idea turns into Wednesday’s “Star Wars Day”

“Star Wars: Episode I- The Phantom Menace” playing in the background, the event featured several activities for students to enjoy, a costume

contest and a cake with the “Star Wars” logo.

The event kicked off with the costume contest. With a unanimous vote, a 3-year-old boy dressed as Darth Vader won.

“He was so cute in his little Darth Vader outfit,” Anthony said.

She said the most popular activity at the event was the intense lightsaber duels.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the lightsaber duels end up on YouTube,” she said.

John Carter, an English sophomore, said he attended the event because he loves the “Star Wars” series.

Carter said he enjoyed the event not only because he won a pencil box in the first drawing, but because of the

lightsaber duels. “You get to hit your friends

with a lightsaber,” he said. “ W h a t ’s not f u n a b out that?”

Those who won a duel were entered into a drawing to win “Star Wars” items such as pencil boxes, cups, hats and lunchboxes.

Autumn Pittman, a theatre sophomore, at tended t he event with a stuffed animal named Bunny Vader.

“He’s the best Valentine’s present I’ve received, and I thought this would be a good event to bring him out to,” she said.

Pittman said she was stoked when she found out about the event.

“I’m a huge nerd, so there was no way I was going to miss this,” she said.

Future plans Anthony said she was very

pleased with the turnout of the event.

“We thought it’d be cool to have a lightsaber duel in the middle of the library mall.”

—Steven Worthington,Interdisciplinary studies sophomore and

person who came up with the idea

“I was k ind of wor r ied people wouldn’t come, or that they’d think it was lame,” she said. “Everything went great and it seemed like people were really enjoying themselves.”

In the future, Anthony said she would like to expand on annual events similar to “Star Wars Day.”

The day ended with a free showing of the “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” movie, which will be shown again at 3 p.m. today in the Syndicate.

Don’t get me wrong. There isn’t a sport I don’t like. As long as there is a winner and a loser, I’ll watch. It doesn’t matter if it’s badminton, bull riding or a weird combina-tion of the two.

But for some reason, spring football season has got me excited to cover the football team next fall. And football is not even my favorite sport.

After a season in which the UNT men’s basketball team created excitement about sports this spring, the football team has kept the buzz going after five prac-tices.

That’s right. We’re talking about practice.

The excitement comes from two people: head coach Dan McCarney and assistant coach Mike Canales.

When Canales took over as interim head coach with five games to go last season, he injected his “Lock the Gate” campaign. He

Baby Talk: Football � red up

BY BRETT MEDEIROSIntern

While most baseball fans’ atten-tion is drawn to the start of the Major League Baseball season, the sport has made its presence felt at UNT.

The UNT baseball club is in the middle of its own schedule, practicing every week and playing its home games at the Local Mack Park off McKinney Street.

The team plays for the National Club Baseball Association and is in the Gulf Coast North Conference along with Texas, Texas Tech, SMU and Baylor.

The team competes against fellow club teams around the country.

Junior Harrison Crain is the club president and plays catcher

for the team. Crain’s job is comparable to a

head coach who also plays. He leads the team in RBIs, hits and home runs.

“I have to keep in contact with them [NCBA] and schedule games for us,” Crain said. “It’s just a lot of administrative work.”

The team is 5-3 and owns a 3-0 record in conference play. Its conference victories came against SMU, Nebraska and UT-San Antonio.

“We’ve been a better team out there. We have a lot of talent out on the field,” said freshman Jeffery Specht.

The team thrives off its pitching, and Specht and senior Justin Brewer are two of the team’s best. Specht is the team’s

ace with 19 innings pitched, 25 strikeouts and an ERA of .81. He has not lost a game this season.

“He’s our best pitcher,” Crain said. “He goes out there and usually pitches a complete game.”

Brewer is also the vice presi-dent for the club and also plays first basemen. His job as VP is to keep the team dedicated to competing.

“A lot of us are from baseball backgrounds. It makes it easy to work together,” Brewer said.

The team’s goal this year is to advance to the NCBA World Series, held May 27 until June 2. The team’s next match is a two-game series against Baylor on Saturday and Sunday.

UNT baseball club thrives

Opinion had shirts. He had a song. And he had a whole team that bought into his system. The same team that lost to Kansas State and Troy by an average of seven points.

Then, McCarney comes in with a sense of bravado and charisma that you normally see in a car salesman. In less than five months, McCarney is making people forget about last year’s disappointing season. And the five seasons before that.

McCarney said Monday that he doesn’t have a phony bone in his body. So when you see the head coach excited and exuberant for next season, it’s hard not to feel the same way about this team.

After two practices, the Mean Green was already wearing pads.

On Monday, there were a couple of hits that felt like some-thing you would see in October, not March. When practice ended, it seemed like UNT could open the season this weekend against Florida International.

In years past, there has always been that sense that a brutal 12 weeks of football are in store for

the fall. That feeling isn’t t here t h is spring. Maybe it’s because t he Me a n Green is brim-ming with self-confidence for reasons only the team knows.

If you think the 2011 version of the Mean Green does not resemble the team that went 3-9 last year, including agonizing defeats to Rice and Louisiana-Lafayette at home, you’re right.

McCarney has arrived in Denton and completely changed how things are run at UNT. It’s starting to actually look like a big-time program.

That being said, don’t expect the Mean Green to go unde-feated next season. Heck, .500 sounds pretty nice.

But with McCarney at the helm, I expect the Mean Green to play with a passion and intensity that hasn’t been seen since the days of legendary head coach Hayden Fry in the 1970s.

The Mean Green softball team wore camouflage uniforms for its doubleheader against No. 11 Missouri Wednesday, but it was easy to see the change in the team’s play from its previous series, as the team split its double-header with the Tigers.

Missouri was on a 23-game winning streak coming into the doubleheader.

“It was actually on a whole ‘nother level,” said senior outfielder Mariza Martinez. “We came out and really focused on what we’ve been focusing on for the past couple of days, and just hit pitches that we needed to hit and got the job done.”

UNT wore the special camou-flage uniforms to raise money for the Wounded Warriors Project, which raises awareness and helps aids injured service members.

Game 1In the first half of the double-

header, UNT (15-18) sent redshirt freshman Ashley Kirk to the circle to take on Missouri redshirt soph-omore Chelsea Thomas.

Thomas came into the game with a 0.48 ERA, which improved in her complete game, 11-strikeout performance that propelled the Tigers (27-4) to a 4-1 victory.

“She had a really good chan-geup,” Martinez said. “If you could hit the pitch you wanted to hit and make her pitch to you, you could hit her, but she had a nasty changeup.”

Martinez accounted for the only Mean Green run of the game with a solo home run in the bottom of the second that tied the game. The Tigers broke the tie in the bottom of the inning with a two RBI double by junior outfielder Ashley Fleming.

So� ball team earns split

Kirk also pitched a complete game for UNT, giving up three earned runs on six hits and five walks.

Game 2UNT used four home runs to

snap Missour’s winning streak and upset the 11th-ranked team in the country, 9-2.

After starting sophomore pitcher Brittany Simmons gave up two runs in the first inning, UNT scored nine unanswered runs.

“I think we really kind of stunned them when we jumped out in the first inning to take

the lead,” said head coach T.J. Hubbard. “That was huge.”

The Mean Green used a parade of home runs by junior infielder Lisa Johnson, senior first baseman Mallory Cantler and freshman third baseman Brooke Foster to put the game out of reach.

After giving up the two first inning runs, Simmons settled down and pitched six scoreless innings.

“I just had to change what I was doing in the first inning,” Simmons said. “My whole body was just slow and my pitches weren’t going anywhere.”

The UNT baseball club competes at home earlier in the season. The team has won � ve of its � rst eight games and is undefeated in conference play.

Senior out� elder Mariza Martinez swings at the oncoming ball in a game against Missouri Wednesday at Lovelace Stadium.

With the state of Texas in a budget crisis and tuition at UNT on the rise, now’s the time to stress the importance of giving back as an alumnus.

The sentiment of many people is that they have given this university thousands of dollars throughout their time here and do not need to give after grad-uation. Although I can under-stand the reasoning behind this argument, if students understood what tremendous impact alumni donations have on current students, they would be more inclined to open up their pocketbooks.

Over the past couple of decades, the percentage of UNT’s budget that comes from the state government has seen a consistent decline. This decline has been offset by steady rises in tuition and the efforts of the Division of Advancement to seek dona-tions from alumni. University Divisions of Advancement are crucial components of a

higher education institution and contribute directly to the success of students.

Without such efforts by universities, one can only imagine the astronomical cost of tuition.

According to the UNT Advancement for Student Development website, $635,000 was raised for student schol-arship money in 2007-2008. This amount of money had a substantial impact on numerous students’ ability to fund their higher education.

Paying for school can be a financial burden, so schol-arship money is crucial. The same website touts the $375,000 raised for Chesnut Hall, home to UNT’s Career Center and Health and Wellness Center. These two offices are vital to the success and health of UNT’s students and graduates.

The Division of Advancement website also advertises that a simple $50 donation could support “student research

activities in the Life Sciences Complex, with supplies like goggles, crucibles, thermom-eters,” etc.

Additionally, I believe if students become connected with the university and passionate about certain programs or areas during their time here, the chances of them giving will increase dramatically.

For example, if you come to UNT and fall in love with the theatre, biology or engi-neering departments, I would encourage you to focus your monetary support toward that particular department. If you received a particular schol-arship at UNT, I hope you will provide opportunities for others and consider putting money toward that scholar-ship after you become finan-cially stable.

Lastly, I must emphasize the importance and significance of giving continuously throughout your lifetime.

UNT is a fine institution

that prepares to be successful in today’s world, and we have an obligation to maintain or enhance the value of each of our degrees through funding the future. Although I have no crystal ball, I can only predict that tuition will continue to rise and so must our commit-ment to UNT.

Let’s all bleed green for life.

Note to Our Readers

NT Daily Editorial Board

During the 2010 elections, Republicans primarily focused on the economy to win back Congressional seats. Months after they took control of the House, not a single piece of legislat ion has been put forth to create jobs. Instead, Republicans have zeroed in on issues that were barely addressed during the campaign season — particularly abor-tion.

In one bill proposed by Republicans, the rape excep-tion for a ban on any Medicaid funding for abortions would have been changed to “forcible rape” only.

Of course, not all rapes involve “force.”

Rapes t hat involve t he use of the date-rape drug Rohy pnol, underage girls, women with limited mental capacity and many incest cases don’t qualify as “forc-ible.” Thank ful ly, enough political pressure built that Republicans had to drop the change, but it is extremely disturbing they thought rede-fining rape was of legislative importance (and now they’re proposing to have the IRS conduct “abortion audits” to determine why individual

women terminated their preg-nancies).

Along with other draco-nian budget cuts to programs for the middle class and poor, Republicans in Congress also recently voted to defund Planned Parenthood, citing that the orga-nization performs abortions.

This is disingenuous because the Hyde Amendment has long banned federal funding for abor-tion, and it ignores that Planned Parenthood provides lots of other health care services for women who can’t get it anywhere else, particularly if they are unin-sured.

By cutting off all funds to Planned Parenthood, Republicans are denying millions of women screenings for cervical and breast cancer, tests and treatments for STDs, and access to contracep-tion, which, of course, prevents many unwanted pregnancies, and thus, abortions.

Unfortunately, it is not only Republicans in Congress that have made restricting abortion a top priority. Despite facing a $27 billion dollar budget shortfall of its own making (resulting in drastic cuts to education, affecting UNT and other schools), the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature

has decided to focus on a bill requiring women get a sono-gram before being able to attain an abortion. Gov. Rick Perry even designated it as “emer-gency” legislation.

Although the Senate bill requires it be performed only two hours before an abortion, the House version requires no less than a 24-hour period, meaning that women — many of whom must travel long distances to make the difficult, personal choice to terminate a pregnancy — would have to make two separate trips.

Given increasing gas prices, this adds additional strain to those seeking what is still supposed to be legal in this country.

But what is most important that people understand about this legislation is the required sono-gram would not be conducted by putting jelly on the abdomen as most would assume, but rather by use of a “trans-vaginal probe” (it’s what you think).

Worse still, the House bill contains no exception for women who are victims of rape and incest from this violation. No doubt many women would rather have an abortion than suffer through such a nightmare — but that’s

the real purpose here. These tactics are disgusting

and hypocritical. As we can see, the same conservative legis-lators who criticize govern-ment mandates for everyone to obtain health insurance have no problem mandating invasive medical procedures.

As Democratic state Senator Leticia Van de Putte said, they want “to shrink government to fit inside a woman’s uterus.”

Republicans in Congress and the state Legislature should stop their insidious assault on women and focus on real prob-lems instead.

Visit an adviserEditorial

Getting help on from an adviser on what classes to register for could save students more than just time and confusion. It could also save them money.

Protecting pocketbookIf a student accumulates excessive hours, which

would mean more than 30 hours for traditional students or 45 hours for nontraditional students who began their undergraduate career between 1999 and 2006, they have to pay an increased tuition rate.

(After scouring the Internet for an hour to only find websites referencing each other and calling the Office of the Registrar, we could not find the infor-mation about the jump in price, but you might have better luck.)

That possibility may seem remote for freshmen and sophomores, but the choices of which classes they sign up for could really hit their wallets in their last year or two of college.

Saving timeChecking with an adviser about what classes would

best help the student graduate also allows him or her to make sure they are maximizing their time at UNT.

Advisers who specialize in certain majors know what combinations of classes have worked for other students in the past. They also understand the work-load associated with the courses and can share that expertise with the students who visit them.

People who work with the university have a better grasp of the registration process, which means they can alert students to potential obstacles, such as code requirements for a class or planned blocks that the students must clear.

Preventing frustrationRegistering for the wrong class or finding out in his

or her fourth year that a senior doesn’t have enough hours to graduate can create intense levels of stress.

Although advisers occasionally make errors, their help reduces the chance for problems like the ones mentioned above.

Different majors, such as those in language or social science areas, require students to have credit in several categories. Those categories, however, can be confusing unless students visit their advisers.

In addition, some classes have codes that must be entered during registration. Those magical series of numbers can come from advisers.

They can also give suggestions for electives outside of the majors they specialize in, and they can keep students from taking the wrong classes within their major.

BottomlineAdvisers are paid to help students. It’s their job. Students need to take advantage of the resources

available to them, including the human ones. To find an advising office for a college or school, visit http://essc.unt.edu/registrar/help.html.

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
