Four of the former employees have been charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, a first-degree felony that a carries a possible sentence of five years to life in prison: John Leonard Pipes, 57, Tisha Slage, 58, Lindsey Collings, 31, and Theresa Jackson, 51. Diane Green, 56, was indicted for theft charges, said Denton County First Assistant District Attorney Jamie Beck. UNT Police began inves- tigating the alleged scheme on Sept. 30 of last year after responding to an anonymous tip, said Kelley Reese, assistant vice president for University Relations, Communications and Marketing. The UNT Police Department did not respond to requests for comment. Reese said that Collings, who held various positions over the course of her three-year career at UNT and was fired in January, allegedly received payments totaling $62,613 from the fall of 2009 to the summer of 2011 for work she did not perform. Slagle and Pipes, Collings’ supervisors at the College of Information, have been accused of knowingly approving falsified timesheets for Collings, Reese said. Collings’ Facebook page lists Slagle, who was budget officer at the college, as her mother. Pipes is Collings’ ex-stepfather, Reese said. Jackson, the college’s budget office assistant, had an unspeci- fied hand in approving the falsi- fied time sheets, Reese said. Green, Pipes and Slagle were arrested earlier this month, between Sept. 2 and Sept. 4, Beck said. Their cases are pending. “The other two co-defendants have sealed indictments and have yet to be arrested,” Beck said. According to Denton County Jail records, bail was set at $20,000 each for Slagle and Pipes and $15,000 for Green. All three have since posted bail. Green’s theft charge stems from an accusation that she received $12,794 for uncompleted work from the spring and summer of 2011. Reese said Jackson resigned in 2010, Slagle was fired in August and Pipes was fired last week. Green and Collings left UNT this year.

Dean of Undergraduate Studies Dale Tampke, who teaches both undergraduate and graduate-level classes, said adult learners are very goal- driven. “They’re driven by the imper- atives of the class,” Tampke said. “They’ve taken care of their social need and are at a point of their life where they’re very focused on their education.” Flames on Fry Street Fire trucks partially blocked off Fry Street when a suspected electrical box fire on the first level of the Fry Street parking garage caused firefighters to evacuate a building at about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday night.

The attack appears to have been sparked by protesters swarming the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, over a low-budget anti-Muslim film produced in the U.S. However, American officials and other analysts cast doubts on whether or not the attack in Libya was a spontaneous protest, suggesting it may have been a planned assault by al-Qaeda affil- iated extremists.

College tends to be a budget-tightening time for students everywhere, and many students in search of extra cash turn to donating plasma, the colorless part of blood that contains proteins for blood clotting and defends the body against infection.

The donated plasma is given to a patient whose body is not making enough of it to adequately fight infections. Plasma and blood are taken from the donor’s body and separated, with plasma being collected and red blood cells returned to the donor’s body.

Donors are paid about $20 a donation.

Students donate plasma for cash

While adult learners have their minds solely on learning, traditional students – ages 18 to 21 – tend to focus more on the fun aspects of college, said Kathleen Whitson, a senior lecturer in the counseling and higher education department.“It’s a different focus on what’s important,” Whitson said. “Traditional students want to have a good time while studying, and adult learners want to learn and create the life – then the good time will come.”

“I imagine that people in Egypt and Libya are worried that there will be negative consequences for their societies in the context of American retaliation,” Stockdale said. “Whereas the U.S. government must weigh its response in terms of the tenuous geopolitical issues of the region.”

She said that those who attacked the embassy in Egypt and the consulate in Libya possibly viewed the anti-Muslim film that

Libyanoticed differences between adult learners and traditional students.

“The quality of work from older students tends to be better, so it makes the class more chal-lenging for traditional students,” Beard said. “It’s good to have positive role models among their peers so they have someone to look up to.”

Spisak said she has noticed some younger students’ tendency to be more distant and cold toward her, but doesn’t let it bother her. Now back in college for round two, she said she has her priorities straight.

“Their [traditional students] comments and attitudes are the least of my concerns,” Spisak said. “I’m here for the education.”

sparked the protests not only as an offensive creation of its maker, but as part of a larger assault on Islam tied with American policy and action in the Middle East.

Both Obama and Romney should avoid injecting politics into a foreign crisis, Meernik said.

The U.S. will have to act carefully to keep the situation stable, Stockdale said.

“The whole notion of diplo-matic missions is that they are safe havens, so the attack violates the idea of diplo-macy,” Stockdale said. “[The] U.S. will have to operate care-fully , though, so as not to esca-late an already volatile situ-ation.”

The Student Government Associat ion unanimously approved the 2012-2013 fiscal year’s budget at its weekly Senate meeting yesterday. The budget will outline where funds are disbursed for the next year.

The 2012-2013 budget proposal, which was created last semester, uses $115,699 from student service fees, $60,000 from the Eagle’s Nest, which allocates funds to student organizations, and $65,000 from Raupe Travel Grants-SSF for a total of $240,699. The SGA’s fiscal year started on Sept. 1, and the budget leaves $11,249 for the summer of 2013.

The budget outlines funding for employment, campus involve-ment, internal operations, public relations, leadership and develop-ment, awards and saved money.

It has become tradition in recent years to include an additional $5,000 toward Eagle’s Nest in the budget, SGA President Rudy

“The research we are doing will hopefully give us the answers to better our ability to intervene and change people’s lives,” Petrie said.

Some past research proj-ects include an ongoing collaboration project with the Denton Independent School District, Petrie said. The center assists Denton middle schools in the

implementation of a fitness program.

Other research at the center has found that physically fit children tend to do better on standardized testing. Petrie said the center is also working on f inding a con nect ion between adolescent depres-sion and obesity.

UNT head tennis coach Sujay Lama believes sports psycholog y is an impor-tant aspect of the game.“At the college level, the skill level is similar so the mental aspect is important,” Lama said. “I encourage my athletes to use the consultation. but in the end it all comes down to athletes.”

Reynoso said. Eagle’s Nest offers funding,

after approval from the Student Service Fee Committee, to regis-tered student organizations that are putting on events, service proj-ects or programs, according to the SGA’s website.

Traditionally, the president of SGA forms the budget to be presented to the senate for approval. Reynoso said he hopes

to change that when he begins to formulate a budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year.

“It’s a lot of money,” Reynoso said. “I don’t see it as a wisehood to have one person in control of that.”

The university will absorb any money not spent by SGA during the next fiscal year, Reynoso said.

The official budget has not yet been posted to the SGA website.

The SGA also appointed three

senators and filled the Sergeant-at-Arms position that was under previous review by the Supreme Court.

Pre-political science sopho-more Austin Campbell ran unop-posed and was elected Sergeant-At-Arms.

Pre-international studies freshman Dorothy Silverio was elected as a senator in the College of Arts and Sciences.

“I want to be the voice for those who don’t have one [in the CAS],” Silverio said.

Interdisciplinary studies senior Sabrina Khan was elected as a senator in the College of Arts and Sciences, and accounting junior Kevin Banke, who has been involved in previous SGA legisla-tion, was elected as a senator in the College of Business.

The SGA also discussed the possibility of moving to bimonthly meetings, enforcing time limits for guest speakers and making sena-tors’ attendance at SGA-sponsored events mandatory.

Donors are not paid for the plasma, they’re paid for the time they spend donating. Some students have voiced concern that without a cash incentive, the number of donations would drop significantly.

“I go back and forth on this issue,” said Kerry Stanhope, assis-tant director of outreach for UNT’s Student Health and Wellness Center.“I donate blood, and the process is entirely [voluntary]. I volunteer my time and my bodily fluids. However, I understand that people have different life circum-

stances, and it’s important to them that they are compensated for their time.”

The FDA does not recommend more than two donations a week, so that the body has time to recover plasma. Centers are required to check antibody and iron levels.

Donors must also meet a weight requirement to be cleared to donate and are asked to provide proof of residence and identification.

“Most studies have shown no long-term negative effects,” Stanhope said. “Most donors quit because they no longer need the

money, they moved, or it no longer fits into their schedule.”

BioLife Plasma Services in Denton instructs donors to pay close attention to their bodies after donating, and does not allow donors to give plasma more than twice a week.

“It wasn’t worth it. Health is more important than money,” speech and hearing sciences sophomore Morgan Cote said. According to the American Plasma Users Coalition, plasma donations are necessary to save the lives of many patients.

“They only had pink ones,” said Justin Cameron of his bandage, after donating plasma at BioLife Plasma Services, o� Brinker Road and Qual Creek Dr. “It’s a couple extra bucks, and it helps,” he said, noting he earned $25 from his second donation this month.

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.

UNT graduate lands role on the big screen

1998 radio, television and � lm graduate Stephen Young has played parts in TV shows such as “Murder by the Book” and “Homicide Hunter.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF STEPHEN YOUNG

DAISY SILOSStaff Writer

Though radio, television and film graduate Stephen Young can’t say he’s headlined major films, he has made the big screen.

Young, who plays a small role in the film “Like Crazy,” which opened on Halloween, had previously racked up a series of TV credits in shows such as “Murder by the Book,” and “Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda.”

“I always kind of lived in my imagination and liked playing different characters,” he said. “Movies were always my big escape.”

You n g , w h o i n i t i a l l y attended the University of Texas at Austin, said he trans-ferred to UNT because of the opportunity to gain more

hands-on experience. “I tried working in Austin,

but it was just so big I couldn’t really gain anything from their f i lm department,” he said. “Transferring to North

Texas and working for ntTV definitely gave me the expe-rience that I needed.”

W hen he came to UNT, Young said his goal was to learn the ins and outs behind

the camera, rather than in front.

“I thought to myself, I love movies so much that I wanted to know how they were made,” he said. “I figured I’d do that

as an undergraduate and then go to an acting conservatory or go into sketch and improv comedy.”

After graduating from UNT in 1998, Young said he worked for KDAF in Dallas as a camera operator and graphics artist.

In 2000, he moved to L.A. and enrolled into The Groundlings theater school, a prestigious improv school where stars such as Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell have gone.

It was while he was there that Young met “Like Crazy” director Drake Doremus, who

offered him a small role in the film.

“It’s a small part, but he was nice enough to offer me the part,” he said. “It was a great experience and I learned a lot from him and the other actors in the movie.”

UNT business a lumnus Russell Petty said he’s known Young since seventh grade and said he thinks this is just the start of Young’s career.

“When it came to drama, he always seemed to steal the show in whatever he was in,” he said. “I always thought he had the drive and ability to make it.”

Petty has seen Young in action during their college years together and has even seen some of the work he’s done at Groundlings.

V ic tor ia A r m st rong , a t heater sophomore, sa id k now ing that people who were in her shoes before are having some success moti-vates her for the future.

“Even if it’s a small part like his, it’s a big movie that’s gotten great reviews,” she said. “There isn’t such thing as a small part as long as you gain some experience from it.”

some experience from it.”—Victoria Armstrong

Man vs. La MonumentalTRENT JOHNSONIntern

B u r g u e s a B u r g e r o f Denton will host its first La Monumental burger-eating contest Saturday at 11 a.m.

While the contest has been held at several of the restau-rant’s other Texas branches, the owners of the company decided to spread some contest fever and introduce the event to the Denton restaurant.

“This will be the first one in Denton,” Burguesa General Manager Rodrigo Santiago said. “And the idea came up when two guys in the bar at our North Oak Cliff location just began to see who could eat more burgers. So we timed it and we decided to make it an event.”

The objective of the event is to find out which contes-tant can eat the most La Monumentals in five minutes.

T h e L a Mo nu m e n t a l contains two beef patties, a crunchy tostada, ham, cheese, refried beans and more. It is topped with a jalapeño

pepper that the contestants are required to eat.

Winners and other contes-tants in the past have tackled the task with better results than originally expected.

“Last year, in Oak Cliff, there were seven contestants and the winner ate four and a half burgers, with a tiny girl finishing second with about four and a quarter,” Santiago said. “The turnout to last year’s Oak Cliff event was great.”

While pride will be on the line for the contestants, Burguesa will also award a television to the winner, a gift card to the runner-up and a Burguesa shirt for all the contestants.

“Trying to eat it that fast, in five minutes, is kind of ridic-ulous,” Burguesa employee Aaron Raper said. “Anyone that can eat the most burgers in that amount of time definitely deserves a TV. I mean I can only eat one La Mounmental.”

The contest requires that at least three people partici-pate, but only one person has

signed up as of Wednesday. However, the deadline to sign up has been extended to the morning of the event. Those interested in signing up must pay their $15 registration fee at the Denton location.

The eating contest takes place once a year and serves as a celebration of Mexican Independence Day.

“ W i t h M e x i c a n Independence Day being on Sept. 16, we just try to use the Saturday that is closest to the holiday,” Santiago said. “Last year we made 50 hamburgers for the event, and the year just gives us time to prepare for the event because it does take a lot of work.”

Because of the hamburgers and prizes, customers are excited about the event.

“I don’t know how people eat one, but I think it’s a great idea especially because of the college aspect,” Burguesa customer and sociology junior Hannah Armstrong said. “I think people will definitely take notice and get excited.”

A day in the life...of a dining hall cookMARLENE GONZALEZSenior Sta� Writer

A storage room full of pasta, fridges filled with vegeta-bles and a crowd of hungry students waiting to be fed anticipate Jonathan Royster’s arrival every afternoon.

When he isn’t at home cooking a homestyle meal of chicken, pinto beans and mashed potatoes with Britney Spears or Dusty Springfield blaring in the background, he is at Kerr Hall’s cafeteria making a mean broccoli and rice.

Royster is one of 780 dining services employees at UNT. There are 180 full-time and 600 part-time employees who work shifts from 5:30 a.m. to 3 a.m. throughout the week.

He began working at UNT as an afternoon vegetable cook three weeks ago, transferring from Texas Women’s University where he worked as a grill cook for six years.

“It’s different,” Royster said. “Here you serve 2,000 people a day, at TWU the most was probably 500.”

Royster clocks in at 12:45 p.m. every Monday through Friday and reviews the menu to make sure he has the ingre-dients needed for the home-style line.

He cuts, dices and slices the vegetables on a cutting board, puts them in containers and then places them in trays to take to the serving line.

Royster gets a 30-minute lunch break. However, he must wait for the line to calm down and make sure his co-workers

have everything they need before he can eat.

“If I don’t use my time wisely, I’ll be behind,” Royster said. “And if I’m behind, we have hungry kids, and if we have hungry kids I get an angry manager.”

When an ingredient runs out, as is common with food like beans, he informs a manager and decides what substitutions can be made.

Royster cleans and prepares ingredients for the next day at 7 p.m., sometimes later, depending on how busy he is. At 9:15 p.m. he clocks out and heads home to his apartment.

UNT Dining Services Executive Director Bill McNeace said the staff serves as many as 36,000 people on a typical day, with passing periods and the lunch crunch being the

busiest times. “Fundamentally it is our job to

provide good food service to the students whether they appreciate it or not,” McNeace said. “But UNT students are incredibly nice – even when they complain they are nice.”

Pre-international studies senior Richard Velazquez works at the Union grill and corner store. He said the staff is friendly, dedicated and like all dining employees, works hard to provide meals for students.

“It’s convenient because there is no time to cook,” Velasquez said. “I don’t think students realize how much work goes into food service.”

Royster will pursue a degree in hospitality management at UNT in the spring semester and hopes to own his own restaurant one day.

Rodrigo Santiago, general manager of Burguesa Burger, holds the La Monumental burger Wednesday at the restaurant, located at 214 E. Hickory St. “The record is four and a half burgers,” he said regarding the eating contest to be held Sept. 15 in celebration of Mexican Independence Day.

A story about UNT grad Nila Neik and her nonprofit organization, which donates backpacks and school supplies to North Texas students, contained several errors. Neik, co-owner of a real estate business, earned her M.BA from UNT in August after graduating from University of Texas-Austin in 2007. Her commitment to giving back to the children is inspired by how hard her mom, a  teacher, worked to make sure the family had everything they needed in their middle-income neighborhood. The North Texas Daily regrets the errors made .

Having worked as a chef at the Holiday Inn and Texas Woman’s University cafete-rias for several years, joining the Kerr Hall cafeteria team was easy for Jonathan Royster. Royster hopes to attend UNT in the spring for hospitality management.

Technology, referees are game changing

Atterberry in� uenced,encouraged by brother

Volleyball team defeatsPrairie View A&M again

TYLER OWENSSenior Sta� Writer

UNT senior punter Will Atterberry’s love for kicking the football stems from one thing: a sibling rivalry.

Ever since his older brother, Zac Atterberry, started teaching him how to kick the ball, Will Atterberry has done everything he can to be better than him.

In an effort to save money, Atterberry’s father would send Zac to Ray Guy Kicking Camps, camps designed to improve the skills of kicking football players, and would have Zac teach Will about the things he had learned at the camp.

“Basically [kicking] became a sibling kind of thing where we’d have something to do together,” Will Atterberry said. “We’d go out and kick balls, [and it turned into a] sibling rivalry kind of thing, just kind of a clash between us both, but we have fun doing it.”

A three-sport athlete growing up, Will Atterberry played foot-ball, soccer and baseball until his freshman year at Lewisville High School. Once in high school, he gave up baseball to play soccer, a sport that he has played since he was four years old and still regu-larly plays during off -time when he’s not doing homework, playing video games or eating.

After winning the starting job as a freshman, Will Atterberry has punted 88 times for 3,812 yards¬ – an average of 43.3 yards per punt – and has never had a punt blocked at UNT. As a yearly contender for the Ray Guy Award, an award for the best punter in collegiate foot-ball, Atterberry hopes to bring the award home this year.

His goals don’t stop after his

BRETT MEDEIROS Sta� Writer

The UNT volleyball team won its 10th match of the season yesterday against the Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers 3-0 (25-13, 25-12, 25-12). This marks the second time UNT has defeated PVAMU this season, with the fi rst also being a 3-0 sweep Aug. 24.

In the fi rst set, the Mean Green (10-3) found itself up 4-3 early and never gave up the lead, winning the set 25-13.

UNT fi nished the set with only two attacking errors, while the Lady Panthers gave the Mean Green eight additional points by committing attacking errors.

Head coach Ken Murczek was able to give everyone playing time, as 10 diff erent players found time on the court in the fi rst set alone.

“We were able to try a couple of diff erent things in the match that we may implement this weekend,” Murczek said.

Junior middle blocker Courtney Windham and redshirt freshman outside hitter Analisse Shannon led the Mean Green in hitting with a combined four kills on seven error-less attempts.

As a team, UNT thrived off its communication.

“We did everything we worked on in practice. Even letting the out balls fall out of bounds,” freshman outside hitter Carnae Dillard said. “We just executed really well.”

The second set nearly mirrored the fi rst.

Although the Mean Green hitting percentage of .259 was not as effi -cient as its fi rst set percentage of .333, Prairie View helped the cause with its errors.

In the set, the Lady Panthers had more errors than kills, giving UNT a 25-12 victory.

The third set proved to be the fi nal set of the match as UNT swept the Lady Panthers after winning 25-12.

Heading into the match, UNT was 22nd in the country with 2.78 blocks per set. The Mean Green fi nished with eight blocks against PVAMU, an average of 2.67 per set led by six blocks from junior middle blocker Karissa Flack.

“I want to say I’m surprised with our placing, but I’m really not,” Flack said. “We are a hard-working team and we deserve that ranking.”

UNT will now head to Birmingham, Ala., for the Alabama State Tournament, the fi nal tourna-ment of the preseason.

The fi rst game will be against Maryland-Eastern Shore (10-1) Friday at 9 a.m.

Senior punter Will Atterberry averaged 44.5 yards a punt against Texas Southern in UNT’s 34-7 win Saturday. Atterberry, who learned how to punt from his older brother, is an early contender for the Ray Guy Award, given to the best punter in college football.

Referees are an integral part of every sport. An offi cial’s word is fi nal law. Technological advances in sports help remove the margin for referee error, and regardless of popular sports fan opinion, referees are human.

The Mean Green women’s soccer team overtime loss against nationally ranked Long Beach State came on the end of a challengeable call. During the scoring play on the deciding goal, the team consensus is that a Long Beach State player should have been

called off side. “It was the toughest loss I’ve ever

been a part of since I’ve been here,” head coach John Hedlund said. Hedlund said he brought the issue to the referee associations and they are “looking into that,” but that it probably wouldn’t change anything. Regardless of the outcome, he was very proud of his team’s performance.

While many blown calls have no repercussions – other than an outpouring of hatred from the crowd –every sport needs to embrace the technological advancements.

Four months before Germany and England squared off in 2010 World C u p , t h e International F o o t b a l l A s s o c ia t ion Board voted against adding goal-line technology and video replay to professional and international play.

FIFA and the International Football Association Board changed their tune after several game-changing offi ciating mistakes in the 2010 World Cup. Referee Jorge Larrionda denied England’s Frank Lampard the game-tying goal in the match against Germany, even though Lampard’s shot clearly crossed the goal line. A disheartened England lost 4-1.

After the costly error involving England, and another involving an Argentina player scoring while off sides, the IFAB changed their stance on goal-line technology. While not offi -cially implemented, they have tested and approved two devices: one that creates a low-level magnetic fi eld a microchipped ball would disrupt, and another that is a system of six to eight high-speed cameras set up at diff erent angles around the goal.

Major sports like basketball and football already implemented instant replay into the offi ciating process.

Maybe this would slow down the game too much, but between the commercials and network commentary the viewer is guaranteed to see anyway, there is built-in time to review plays. And wouldn’t fans rather they take the time to review that critical play?

Soccer is behind the curve, even with the addition of goal-line tech-nology. Replays are not allowed to be a part of an offi cial’s decision-making process.

Human error is not an appeal in offi ciating, it’s a hindrance.

Opinion

RYNEGANNOE

collegiate career comes to an end, however.

Zac Atterberry, who went undrafted in the National Football League’s 2008 draft out of Lindenwood University, played in a few NFL preseason games with the Chicago Bears. After going unsigned, he went into the jewelry business with Jared, but still fi nds time to play foot-ball with the Denton County Rhinos, an arena football team.

Will Atterberry hopes that his thirst to do better than his brother will take him all the way to the NFL.

“Ever since I watched my brother play for the Bears in the preseason, I’ve wanted to [play in the NFL],” he said. “He made it to the NFL and played in preseason games. I’d like to one-up him and make it to an actual regular season game. That’s my ultimate goal: to play on Sundays.”

If going pro falls through, the applied arts and science major hopes to coach football or soccer at the colle-giate level.

The common misunderstanding that “punters are not real athletes” only fuels Will Atterberry’s drive to improve and his on-the-fi eld eff orts are not lost on his coaches and teammates.

“He means a lot [to the team], his ability to change the fi eld and give our defense a better opportunity to stop [the opponent] and also put our off ense in a better spot,” junior kicker Zach Olen said. “He’s just a huge game-changer.”

Head coach Dan McCarney said that he would not trade Will Atterberry for any punter in college football because of his mental tough-ness and his incessant need to improve every day.

“I appreciate his contribution, consistency and productivity, and he just stays as hungry [to improve] as anybody to the football team,” McCarney said. “He won’t flinch if something goes bad. He just has tremendous talent.”

When Will Atterberry graduated high school, Zac sent Will a message that read “Don’t be like me, be better than me.” In his last collegiate season, Will’s NFL future will be decided soon.

“At this point in his life, if we were the same age right now, he would defi -nitely beat me,” Zac Atterberry said. “At his age now, he’s better than I was. He’s got a better opportunity [to play at the next level].”

What is the most interesting class

you’ve taken at UNT and why?

“Macroeconomics. It’s not about numbers but more so

human behavior. The professor, Bryan Dickson, genuinely

enjoys the subject and more so teaching it. He also brings humor to the class in quirky,

fun ways. ”

“Introduction to women’s studies. I met a lot of cool people with diverse backgrounds who

were very open-minded. We had a final project at the end of the semester on lesbianism

and media, and just seeing everyone’s opinions was the

most interesting part.”

“General psychology. I’ve never studied this type of subject

before, and it makes me want to go more in-depth with it. I went in dreading it since it’s a

three-hour class, and now I go in looking forward to it.””

Nod: The Denton City Council

College students at UNT might not always keep up with Denton’s local news, but it would be tough to completely avoid noticing the ongoing debate in town about gas drilling, fracking and other envi-ronmental issues taking place within the city.

Denton residents are a passionate bunch, no matter what side they’re on, and Tuesday night’s city council meeting was no exception. About 30 residents attended, some armed with signs and banners displaying their support of the town’s moratorium on new gas well development.

It appears that their demonstra-tion had the right effect – the City Council approved a 75-day exten-sion of the moratorium.

This effectively halts any new drilling developments, at least until the city finishes drafting new envi-ronmental regulations.

Despite complaints from at least one company, activists are confi-dent that waiting until new rules are established will allow drilling to take place while still respecting the city’s environmental concerns.

Although the Edboard is happy to remain neutral, the Denton City Council deserves a nod for working toward an effective compromise.

Shake: The North Texas “Fast Five”

It’s no secret that UNT is having a few money problems, with tightened budgets and a hiring freeze in place to prevent the school from using up their state funding too fast.

At a time like this, it’s especially heinous to imagine someone misusing the university’s funds, but on Tuesday a grand jury indicted five former UNT employees for doing just that.

Theresa Jackson, Lindsey Collings, John Pipes, Tisha Slagle and Diane Green – former employees of UNT’s College of Information – are accused of participating in a scheme that lifted more than $75,000 from the university’s payroll.

Diane Green was indicted for theft, while the other four were accused of organized criminal activity. Let’s think about this for a minute: if these five employees agreed to divide their plunder equally between them, each “criminal mastermind” would receive around $15,000.

Ironically, this is the average yearly salary for a cashier at McDonald’s – one of the only jobs these clowns will be able to find if they’re charged with a felony.

The Edboard might be able to give them a harder shake, if only their heist wasn’t such a snooze. If the five standing accused decide to make a career out of these exploits, the least they can do is give us a car chase next time.

You can see a great variety of people by just walking around our campus. Different races, faiths, cultural back-grounds and sexual orientations are represented in equal measure. Endless combinations of different people can be found here, and many of them also wear different combinations of clothes, which is fine by me.

I saw a guy wearing a dress and lipstick the other day, and while I was taken by surprise, it didn’t offend me. That’s kind of his prerogative, espe-cially on such a tolerant campus.

I also sometimes see fraternity guys wearing their bright polos, and since they kind of all dress the same, I’ve started to think of it as a uniform. They wear these uniforms because they’re proud of their organizations, and sometimes they even put those gaudy Greek letters on it somewhere.

I’m pretty sure it would be frowned upon if one frat member wore another fraternity’s t-shirt, and I’m pretty sure that doesn’t happen much. That’s not just because if somebody caught them they’d probably be forced to do something odd – I also believe it’s because they have pride, something the student body at UNT is occasion-ally lacking.

On campus, I see a lot of people wearing memorabilia for other major colleges. I really want to ask them, why are you wearing that University of Texas sweater? You don’t go there, this is the University of NORTH Texas.

Walking into class wearing another school’s spirit gear looks pathetic, and to everyone who sees you, it looks like you just didn’t get accepted to the college you wanted. Is it really so bad to be “stuck” in good old Denton?

Rather than a sea of green, it looks like somebody dropped a huge bag of Skittles on campus. I know it’s just a T-shirt to some, but what about the tons of high school students that tour here? Is this UNT, or a school for refugee scholars?

Although some students certainly make an effort when they get dressed in the morning, and others just try to make sure the clothes they got off the floor don’t smell too bad, what we wear is definitely a reflection of our outlook.

Clothing choice is both a sensibility and an attitude. The attitude students portray when wearing the spirit gear of another university while on campus is that they have very little pride for this school, and that they’d probably rather be somewhere else. You might not care as much as me, but if you don’t respect your university, how do you expect anybody else to?

Quail or chicken may sound like a good entree for dinner, but two species in particular are more important to the Texas ecosystem than meets the eye. The endangerment of the bobwhite quail and prairie chicken could have a critical impact on prairie biodiversity, and the University of North Texas is stepping up to address this problem.

Facing quickly dropping popula-tions for both birds, the university’s Department of Biological Sciences spon-sors UNT Quail, a research and land-owner extension program centering on “America’s greatest game bird”, the northern bobwhite.

To learn more about this program and why it was important, I talked to the director of UNT Quail, professor Kelly Reyna, as well as biology assistant professor Michael Allen. What I discov-ered about these Texas birds certainly surprised me, and better yet, it got me thinking.

Texas prairie chickens are currently considered “vulnerable to endangered,” and northern bobwhites are considered “near threatened.” This means that direct conservation efforts are needed to prevent the extinction of both species. In order to preserve both birds, the state must mandate protected habitats and sponsor efforts to raise specimens in captivity to boost their numbers.

UNT Quail hopes not only to promote research in conservation efforts and formulate proposals to sustain endan-gered populations, but also to raise awareness among UNT students and area policymakers about the fragility of these birds. The program also works successfully with Texas ranchers in order to measure which ecological practices are getting the best results.

“I thought I would build the program to include 50,000 acres. Within eight months, I now have 400,000 acres with more than 40 ranches. We are getting good habitat on the ground, changing land-use practices to be more condu-cive to quail recovery and educating the public with quail symposia. The only downside is we need more funding to keep up the good work,” Reyna said.

UNT Quail has discovered that habitat loss, modified land-use prac-tices, increased vector species and harsh climates are suspect factors that have contributed to the decline of bobwhite quail and prairie chicken.

The center is always happy to accept donations and other assistance from concerned individuals, and once you learn the truth about these endangered species, it’s hard not to see how critical this program is to UNT’s philosophy of conservation.
