The Student Government Association failed to approve its budget for the upcoming spring and summer semesters after senators voiced concerns that money was spent last semester without the consent of the student senate.

The SGA executive branch presented its fiscal 2010-2011 budget to student senators Wednesday, to update the senate about how money was allocated last fall and approve the spring and summer budgets.

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

A universal � u shot currently being tested could prevent mass outbreaks of the ever-changing virus.PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY CONRAD MEYER/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

BY NICOLE BALDERASStaff Writer

As a new flu season arrives each year, so does an updated flu vaccine to combat viruses that research indicates are most likely to cause illness in the upcoming season. A group of 22 British volun-teers are now hoping they have made an effective universal vaccine that combats a l l forms of the f lu virus. The vaccine is still in the testing stages, but if found effective, it could become just another shot that people get one time. “If this vaccine works against most strains of influenza and is effective for several years, then you don’t have to immu-nize patients yearly, and the possibility of eventually having a larger segment of the popula-tion protected from influenza is appealing,” said Herschel Voorhees, a doctor at the Student Health and Wellness Center. The vaccine would target relat ively stable proteins inside the virus that are

similar to most or all strains. “If further research shows that this vaccine is indeed clin-ically effective in preventing inf luenza and the internal proteins in H1N1 are consis-tent with those that are targeted by this vaccine, then one could assume that it would work against H1N1,” Voorhees said. Though the vaccine would be beneficial if found successful, there are still obstacles to consider in the meantime. “It would be hard to keep it up because viruses are always changing,” said Brian Bardeloza, a biology junior. “There are many different strands of f lu viruses. The vaccine would have to be able to combat all strands out there.” Chief Epidemiologist of the Denton County Health Department, Juan Rodriguez, adds to t h is a rg u ment. “If they don’t accomplish [a universal vaccine], then there’s really nothing they’re accomplishing,” said Rodriguez. “Scientifically, they are looking for something that will attack the exterior of the virus that is more likely to mutate. They are very interested in something that will work during a pandemic.” In the vaccine’s test trial,

New vaccine could provide flu immunity for years

half the participants received the vaccine, while the other half didn’t. Early results indicated that those who received the vaccine developed antibodies to

flu, but further research must still be done, according to reports. “Further clinical trials and research are needed with larger and more diverse popu-

lations of patients to deter-mine efficacy and safety of this vaccine,” Voorhees said. For now the vaccine is holding up, but the next step is

to see how long immunity will last. Sarah Gilbert, who leads the research team, said time will be the next variable in the testing.

Dallas design center first of its kind in the state

“They’ve got a dedicated space where they can spread out and work,” he said. “A lot of programs don’t offer that.”

Students and faculty at the center are currently under-taking two major research projects, Owens said. One research project is working with KERA, Dallas’ public tele-vision station, to help deliver

and improve their children-specific content both on-air and online. Another is working with nonprofit organization Downtown Dallas Inc. to help revitalize parts of the city, beginning with the Historic West End. Owens said the center’s location downtown enhances the research they can do.

“Most of our research part-ners are in that area,” Owens said. “The fact that they can

drop by and see the work that we’re doing right there in Dallas is a huge benefit for us.”

Owens said there are only a handful of universities across the country that are teaching and producing design research and UNT’s center is the first of its kind in the state.

“UNT has challenged itself to have more faculty producing research than before,” Owens said. “This Design Research Center is the College of Visual

Arts’ way of answering that challenge.”

T he M. A . a nd M.F. A . programs at the center are comprised of different kinds of students, said Michael Gibson of the art design faculty. The M.A. program is offered to students that do not have a background in innovation and design and can come from many other disciplines taught at UNT. The M.F.A. program is for students who have a back-

ground in design. Gibson said the center is a place where both kinds of students can come together to share ideas and research solutions to contem-porary problems.

“To teach and practice design research, you must have a dedi-cated space to support those activities,” Gibson said. “That’s what the design research center is.”

Gibson said that far too few universities in the country are

teaching design research and innovation programs at the undergraduate level. The short-fall is becoming more apparent as businesses and institutions of higher learning are calling for more design research to be taught.

One of the center’s goals is to address the problem, Gibson said.

Breast augmentation, lipo-suction, breast l i f t, eyelid surgery and tummy tucks are the top five cosmetic surgical procedures, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Café Diversity is hosting, “Plastic Barbie Dolls: is surgery the answer?” at 4 p.m. today in the Multicultural Center, and will discuss the positive and negative side of surgical proce-dures. Admission is free. The event is a question and answer set up for students to discuss how they feel about plastic surgery.

“True information is key to everything,” said Lanette McClure, the student services specialist at the Multicultural Center. “There are a lot of people who are not informed.”

Café Diversity’s event will serve as an introduction to National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, beginning on Feb. 21. The week focuses on issues behind body image, said Theresa Braddy, the senior diversity specialist at the Department of Equity and Diversity.

“We’re trying to bring about an awareness of diversity issues,” she said. “It’s about being healthy, with or without plastic surgery.”

In 2010, 13,117,063 cosmetic procedures were performed, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Plastic surgery has increased, in both men and women, by 77 percent from 2000, which had 7,401,495 procedures.

“We also have ‘Ken’ too because men can be just as

obsessed,” Braddy said. “We have to ask ourselves if this is a health problem or an image problem?”

Some symptoms of cosmetic

surgery are depression and anxiety because of unrealistic expectations, according to the Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

“Yeah, it makes you look ‘attrac-

tive,’ but so many things can go wrong and do just the opposite,” said Galadrielle Buchanan, an elementary education sopho-more. “I feel like there’s no room for error and a lot of people feel that getting cosmetic surgery is the only answer.”

Not everyone has a negative effect regarding plastic surgery. Thirty-seven studies found positive outcomes in patients, including progress in body image.

“I think it’s a vanity issue,” said Jeffrey Hicks, an applied arts and science junior. “My wife is happy the way she is and that’s fine with me. It’s whatever makes you happy, because this is your body and you should do what you want with it.”

New menu choices and new hours of operation aren’t the only changes taking over Kerr Hall Cafeteria.

Construction is expected to start over spring break. The cafe-teria will be decorated with a mural as a reflection of life on campus. Residents from the art wing in Kerr will create the wall art, which will be spread across the four back walls.

“Instead of just throwing up some paint, we wanted to do a modern rendition of the art in Bruce,” said Peter Balabuch, the assistant director for residential dining. “I just let the creative people steer the ship.”

Renovations done in Kerr Cafeteria over winter break inspired the idea for the mural, he said.

To create the mural, three small watercolor paintings have been made, showcasing the background. Various figures and people have been painted on separate sheets.

The paintings of the back-ground and people will be

scanned, combined together and then uploaded in Photoshop. The image will then be printed on wallpaper, said Bryant Canzoneri, a graphic designer.

“The artists actually used people they knew in the wing

as their people in the painting,” he said.

Andy Rolfes, an art sopho-more, painted the mural back-ground, and Candace Garcia, a visual art studies junior, created the figures and students, said Carlynn Field, the art director for the project.

Field said she feels the painting is personal and truly reflects life on campus.

“The guy in the painting playing guitar really does sit in that spot on campus,” she said.

Details for the project are being worked out, Balabuch said.

“St udent s a re put t i ng so much effort into this,” he said. “We want to make sure the execution doesn’t compromise any of the integ-rity of the work.”

“It’s going to look like they

actually did the painting on the wall,” said Ken Botts, the special projects director of dining services.

Before work can begin on the mural, workers have to prepare the wall. The texture on the wall must be a smooth, f lat surface, Balabuch said.

Planning for this project started in October, he said.

Students like Ryan Shetler, an applied science senior, said the mural will add char-acter to Kerr Hall.

“A little art and person-ality can go a long way,” he said.

Addie, Cooper and Josh are Eugene and Carolyn Corporon’s pride and joy.

The three dogs were rescued from the Denton Animal Shelter Foundation.

The foundation needs $2 million by the end of the year to open the new adoption center. The shelter has reached $1.2 million, said Carolyn Corporon, the vice president of marketing for Beauty Systems Group.

UNT’s Wind Symphony will host a benefit concert for the Denton Animal Shelter Foundation. The event will donate its proceeds to the shelter.

Tickets cost $8 for senior citizens $10 for adults.

The foundation plays an important role in keeping the stray animal population in control.

“We’re trying to reach out to the community and hoping to build a more modern facility shelter for the animals,” said Eugene Corporon of the music faculty.

The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Winspear Ha l l i n t he Mu rch ison Performing Arts Center.

“If we can get a couple thousand dollars, that would be good,” Eugene Corporon said.

This will be the first year the Wind Symphony hosts a fund-raising event.

Charles Veazey of the instru-

mental studies department, who will retire at the end of this year, will perform a solo at the event, he said.

Sally’s Beauty Salon, UNT and community members have donated to the foundation, Eugene Corporon said.

Bette Sherman, the founder and chairwoman of the Denton Animal Shelter Foundation, said she is pleased the Corporons are helping the foundation.

“They set up all the arrange-ments for the col lege,” Sherman said. “They printed the postcards and sent them all out, which is great, because t he foundat ion doesn’t have money to spend on marketing.”

The new facility will be three times the size of the original shelter, which has 114 cubicle spaces, Sherman said.

The foundation is home to more than 4,000 animals. Even though it has played a signif-icant role in stray animals, 1,000 to 15,000 do not have homes because of space issues, she said.

“If it gets opened, it will be

one of the biggest things to happen in Denton in a long time,” Sherman said.

Tina Behrens, a music education and violin perfor-mance freshman, said she will attend the event to support the shelter.

“They are doing it to raise money for an animal shelter,” she said. “They have an alterna-tive rather than just, ‘come to our concert and give us money.”

The UNT football team has guardian angels.

The Eagle Angels is a group of women on campus who serve as ambassadors to foot-ball recruits.

Eagle Angels take recruits on campus tours, show them the Athletic Department, assist them to the stadium on game days and sit with them.

“The best part is the games,” said Nicole Hooi-Rodriguez, a merchandising sophomore and president of the group. “I love the atmosphere, the smell of the football field, the nachos, and people screaming at so-and-so to get it together. It’s fun.”

Hooi-Rodriguez said she was interested in Eagle Angels because she had a friend who was on the team. At the games, she noticed the Eagle Angels cheering and working with the recruits. She decided to find out more about the group.

During the first week of school, potential Eagle Angels

went through a week of recruit-ment and interviews, starting with an ice cream social.

“It kind of serves as an ice breaker,” Hooi-Rodriguez said. “We hang out at the gazebo and bring popsicles and ice cream and get to know each other.”

The inter v iew includes questions about football and coaching staff to test their knowledge, she said.

“The process is fun but not exactly easy,” said Caroline Parrack, a former Eagle Angels president and a communica-tion senior.

The group currently has 30 members, Hooi-Rodriguez said.

The Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies with Animals, a one-of-a-kind organization based out of the university’s Department of Behavior Analysis, will host its third annual Art and Science of Animal Training Conference.

The conference w i l l bring together six speakers to discuss the science of behavior analysis and the art of animal training. The key is to inform others about the tools and techniques needed.

“To me as a professor, and as a part of the University of North Texas community, the thing that excites me the most is to bring these people here and have the students interact with them,” said Jesus Rosales-Ruiz of the behavior analysis faculty and adviser for the organization. “The students get more enthusi-astic and they see a better purpose for what they are doing.”

The conference will take place from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the University Union’s Silver Eagle Suite.

Classic roots of American fashion design come to UNTBY ALEXA CHANSenior Staff Writer

The styles of iconic TV stars like Lucy Ricardo, June Cleaver and Donna Reed come to life at the Texas Fashion Collection.

Scarves, tulip-shaped skirts and shirtwaist dresses are some of the styles displayed from noon to 5 p.m. every Thursday and Friday until March 25 at UNT’s Fashion on Main Street in the UNT System Building. “American by Design” has a collection of authentic pieces from the 1950s featuring designers like Vera Maxwell, Charles James and Adele Simpson.

“To understand the present, you have to look at the past,” said Marla Ross, a volunteer for Texas Fashion Collection. “Fashion often predicts what ’s goi ng on i n t he

economy. Fashion changes according to how peoples’ lives are changing and you can see that in these pieces.”

The col lect ion features 12 iconic pieces, donated by people in the Dallas area, said Chelsea Bell, a design graduate student and employee of the Texas Fashion Collection.

American fashion was born in the 1950s, Ross said. New York City became the style center of the world as American designers sepa-rated themselves from Paris and focused more on practi-cality and simplicity, she said. American female designers emerged, creat i ng more sensible rather than trendy garments,

The women had a practical perspective when looking at the styles, she said.

Sportswear was created because traveling became

common, Ross said.Ma x well created a coat

with plastic-lined pockets to carry toiletries for easy a c c e s s i bi l i t y, s he s a id . “The designs really symbol-ized America with individ-uality and freedom,” Ross said. “Women didn’t feel const ra ined because t he fabric wasn’t so delicate. It really ref lects the t imes.” Current popular trends can be attributed to the ‘50s, Ross said.

Unfitted styles and sleeves made from the bodice of the garment show how this fashion era is coming back, she said. Looking at the fabrics in the clothing is also a telling piece of history that shows how far America has come, said Dawn Figueroa, the collection manager for the Texas Fashion Collection.

There is significance to the fabrics. This is a time when synthetic fabrics such as nylon and rayon, cotton, denim, wool and jersey emerged, she said.

“The ‘50s are what really defined American style,” Bell said. “Even if you aren’t into fashion, this exhibit is a great place to look for inspiration even outside your own medium.” Admission is free and open to the public.

“That’s great that the school has a program like this for the football players,” said Christina Garcia, a dance senior. “I’m

sure they really appreciate having someone to show them around and help them adjust at their new school.”

The group works closely w it h t he recr uit ing coor-dinator to assist head foot-ball coach Dan McCarney to

prepare things for the season and the football team, Hooi-Rodriguez said.

“I think some girls think we were working for the football team,” she said. “We support the team, but we work for the coaching staff.”

W hen it ’s not footba l l season, the ladies are actively involved with the commu-nity, performing at the Nelson Ch i ld ren’s Center, Hooi-Rodriguez said.

T he Nelson Ch i ld ren’s Center is a home for emotion-ally and physically abused children, according to the center’s website.

“We really wanted some-thing where we could interact with people,” she said. “On Friday, we’re going to go down there to hang out with the kids and play games.”

The women also participate in intramural sports such as football, volleyball and dodgeball, Hooi-Rodriguez said.

“You have to love sports to be an Eagle Angel,” she said.

acts with animals will find the conference relevant to their lives, said Laura Coulter, the president of the organization and a student behavioral anal-ysis graduate.

“We want it to be a more inti-mate setting where people who are interested in looking at a more cutting edge approach to these things can have a venue where they can actually ask questions,” said April Becker, the former president of the orga-nization and applied behavioral analysis graduate student.

The conference will have a panel discussion for the audi-ence to ask questions, Becker said.

“Part of the reason we have this conference is because there is really no conference out there for animal trainers that is as advanced or cutting edge as this one,” Becker said. “It’s really something that no

matter what level you’re at, you’re going to find something new and different.”

O r g a n i z a t i o n f o r Reinforcement Contingencies of Animals has two main goals,

Ruiz said. Improving animal welfare

and training through science, and giving back to the commu-nity is what the organization strives to do, he said.

Ruiz said the conference is one of the organization’s attempts to reach out to the community.

“What we are trying to do is gather people who are well-re-spected trainers in the animal field,” said Kim Fry, the public relations chair. “We then have them talk about what they know and pass that knowledge on to other animal trainers in the community.”

The Mean Green women’s basketball team will try to end its five-game losing streak tonight against South Alabama after having two weeks off since its last game.

This is t he longest t he Mean Green has gone without playing during the regular season since the 2002-2003 season. It is the third time in 19 seasons UNT went at least 14 days without playing.

UNT’s game at UALR was scheduled for last Thursday, but was post poned u nt i l March 1 because of heav y snowfall in Arkansas.

“I’m not rea l ly worr ied about r ust ,” head coach Shanice Stephens said. “We’ve gotten plenty of reps and ups and downs and individual work and a lot of shots up, so we’ve made the most of our time.”

South Alabama (14-10, 6-6) is also coming off a lengthy brea k, w it h its last ga me played a week ago against Troy. The Jaguars has strug-gled in Denton, as the Mean

Green (5-19, 2-9) holds an 8-1 all-time home record against South Alabama.

The Mean Green’s streak of facing tough-minded defen-sive teams will continue when the Jaguars visit the Super Pit. South A labama comes into the game holding oppo-nents to 37 percent shooting, ranking second in the Sun Belt Conference.

The Jaguars allow oppo-nents to shoot 24 percent from beyond the arc, which is tops in the Sun Belt.

“This is a pretty good defen-sive team and it’s really going to take us taking care of the ball,” Stephens said. “On our end, we really have to defend t he ba l l as wel l because

The UNT softball team got its season underway last week in Tempe, Ariz. when the team played tough competition in the Kajikawa Classic, going 2-4 in the process.

The team played well to start off the year with two wins against Cal State Bakersfield and Appalachian State, but left the deserts of Arizona in disap-pointment.

Two of the team’s four losses came against nationally ranked opponents in No. 14 Oregon and No. 18 Stanford, so there’s really nothing to be too upset about, especially since the Mean Green held leads against both teams.

This is not football, where the team only has a handful of games to straighten things out. With 37 games left on the schedule, the Mean Green has plenty of time to straighten out things that didn’t work and maintain the things that did.

Caitlin GrimesCaitlin Grimes was undoubt-

edly UNT’s biggest offensive

w e a p o n during the first week of the season.

The junior c a t c h e r cont i nued on the pace she has set during her

career with four hits, each for extra bases.

After a relatively quiet first game, Grimes broke the Appalachian State game wide open with a three-run home run in the fourth inning that all but sealed 6-0 victory for the Mean Green.

Obviously, Grimes will not continue to lead the team in home runs, RBI and total bases, but if she stays even half as hot as she is right now from the plate, pitchers will begin to pitch around her, which means only good things for UNT’s offense.

PitchersThe team’s only veteran in

the circle this season will be sophomore Brittany Simmons, who showed her worth in the team’s season-opening extra-inning victory of Cal State Bakersfield.

It took UNT 11 innings to get the job done, but when the offense managed to outduel Cal State Bakersfield, the Mean Green had the same pitcher in the circle as they did when the game began.

Simmons’ 11 inning day was the most in her career and the second-most in school history.

While Simmons’ perfor-mance was great, the team’s other three pitchers weren’t far behind her.

In her first career start, redshirt freshman Ashley Kirk pitched five shutout innings in the team’s shutout victory over Appalachian State.

Senior Mallory Cantler, who hasn’t pitched in a regular season game since high school, contributed two innings of relief and didn’t give up any runs.

True freshman Lauren Poole struggled the most in two appearances with a 9.33 ERA. Like the pitching staff as a whole, it will take Poole a while to translate her game from high school to the NCAA level.

UNT will be back in action on Friday when it takes on No. 21 Nebraska from Lovelace Stadium.

need to talk on defense. If we don’t communicate, we can’t be successful.”

U N T m ay b e w it hout Foreman’s backcourt mate, shoot i ng g ua rd Br it t ne y Hudson, for tonight’s game. The junior injured her right foot in practice last week.

“The trainer said she thinks I bruised a bone or something like that,” Hudson said. “She just basically told me to take it day by day.”

The action will tip off 5 p.m. tonight from the Super Pit.

“They are sometimes

inconsistent but they can score.”

Mallory Cantler entered this softball season 54 hits shy of becoming UNT’s all-time leader in hits and five doubles short of becoming the school’s all-time leader in that category.

However, neither of those stats is her most impressive.

Her biggest accomplish-ment came in the classroom, where Cantler earned her bach-elor’s degree in operations and supply chain management in three years. She is pursuing her MBA, while returning to the pitcher’s circle for the first time in three years.

“Well, when she’s asked to do something, she’s very—she will give 110 percent,” said Mallory’s mother, Becky Cantler. “When [head coach T.J. Hubbard] asked her this summer if she wanted to pitch and everything, she didn’t hesitate at all.”

Before last fall’s exhibi-tion games, Mallory Cantler had never pitched for the Mean Green, despite pitching throughout her high school career.

She finished her four-year Jarrell High School career with a 0.28 ERA, but was brought in as a first basemen when she came to UNT three years ago.

The only experience she had at first was with a traveling team she played on during high school.

“It was kind of, ‘Are you going to hit everyday or not?’” she said. “I mean, I wanted to be an everyday player and I had a pretty strong bat coming in here, and since I had experi-ence at first base, it was really the best fit for me.”

During high school, she was

as deadly at the plate as she was from the pitcher’s circle, hitting .568 with 55 doubles and 1 8 h o m e runs.

T h e change worked out, as she was named All-Sun Belt Conference first team all three years she played first base.

However, by the end of last season, it was apparent to Hubbard that with two of his pitchers not returning for the 2011 season, he needed to fill

the void they left.“I’m not too worried about

her not being ready to go, just because of the way she works and the way she prac-tices,” Hubbard said. “I can remember just playing pranks on her during down time and saying, ‘Hey you’re going in today?’ She would always get real freaked out because she hadn’t pitched in a while and she didn’t want to put herself in a position to do bad.”

By that time, Mallory Cantler was used to sudden changes involving softball, considering the way she got hooked on the game when she was 4 years old.

“She was the youngest of our three daughters, and there was a T-ball team in the town and they didn’t have enough players,” said her father Don Cantler. “She needed to be 5 years old, but they went with Mallory because of her sisters, and even at 4 years old, she was kind of one of the best players on the field.”

Don and Beck y Cant ler w atched t hat ga me a nd haven’t missed ver y many since.

Despite the almost three-hour drive from Jarrell, where Mallor y Cantler was born, they travel to Denton to see

almost all her home games.Her parents drove out to

Tempe, Ariz. to see the Mean Green’s f irst games of the season when it played in the Kajikawa Classic.

In Mallory Cantler’s first fall start, she allowed four hits and struck out six in seven shutout innings against a local junior college. She helped her own cause by getting three hits with two RBI in a Mean Green 10-0 win.

“I think that my UNT career has been pretty great, but it’s not finished yet,” she said. “There’s still one more year to go and I think this could be a really special year for us.”

Later in the weekend, Adams won the 60-meter hurdle with a time of 8.28 seconds, notching the second fastest time in the Sun Belt and the 23rd quickest finish in the nation.

Adams ended the tournament with a 60-meter dash time of 7.54, the third fastest time in the conference.

The senior earned the award earlier this season on Jan. 25 after winning the 60-meter hurdles at the J.D. Martin Invitational.

Anyone who has attended UNT for a lengthy period of time knows how frustrating trying to find a parking space at 9 a.m. can be.

Even with a general permit — costing more than $100 — none of us are guaran-teed a spot. Similarly, if you have ever been ticketed for a parking violation on the UNT campus, you know just how mind-boggling some of the so-called “violations” are.

Let’s take my experience for example.

Valentine’s Day morning was just like any other. It consisted of me getting to campus 90 minutes before my class started and using more gas cruising through the G lots than I use to get to campus in an entire week.

When I had finally found a space, I was slightly irked to f ind that the enormous “suped-up” Dodge next to me was occupying the back end of my space with the bed of his truck. But this didn’t stop me from claiming that space. After all, it wasn’t out of the ordinary to see shoddy parking jobs at Fouts Field.

In my little Honda, I was

able to maneuver past his truck and pull up as far as I could to not only protect my car, but also the Dodge next to me. A lthough my nose was hanging over into the next spot, my front wheel was just shy of the white line, allowing comfortable parking for everyone around me.

I walked off with a sense of accomplishment.

After I had finished a full day of classes, I walked back around 5:00 p.m. to find a bright yellow envelope under my windshield wiper.

Confused, I glanced up to make sure my parking permit wasn’t obstructed from view. No problem there.

I looked over my parking job. Everything seemed fine. I still had someone to my left and in front of me comfort-ably parked — the Dodge was no longer there.

I pulled the citation and it read, “Improper Parking. Pa rked over wh ite l i ne.” Parked over the white line? Really?

I im med iately f i led a n appeal for the ticket.

When I asked for a defi-nition of “parking over the

white line,” I wasn’t given a straight answer. I was given a “typically they ticket when this, but sometimes this” response.

Unacceptable. Laws are meant to be clear

and concise, not clouded and indefinite.

UNT needs to review its own policies and leave out any language that can be left up to debate.

The appeal form said, “All Appeals are Final,” across the bottom. The final decision will be made solely based on a brief paragraph I wrote about the incident.

I took several pictures of parking jobs across the Fouts Field G parking lot. There was an obvious inconsistency with enforcement of parking policies.

If I am being sanctioned for a quest ionable v iola-tion of parking laws, at least en force t he sa me law to those who, without a doubt, have performed “improper parking.”

Some park in such disorder, it prevents other people from parking around them. Others may permit parking around

them, but they are in clear violation with their front tire unmistakably past the line in front of them.

Being a senior, I have expe-rienced loads of inconsistency with UNT policies, but this is by far the worst.

I am a crimina l just ice major, so I understand what it means to selectively enforce the law. This is exactly what is happening on our campus.

The law is intended to be just.

As students, we have rights, too. Exercise them.

Valentine’s Day is despised and mocked by many singles. It is anxiously anticipated and awaited by masses of passionate, or at least some-what motivated, lovers.

And a countless number of people discount it based only on its surface traits of mate-rialistic love.

To regard Feb. 14 as nothing more than a commercia l-ized, obnoxious holiday is certainly a bitter att itude toward romance. However, to say carelessly that the entire idea behind Valentine’s Day is meaningless is disgusting and downright evil.

I would also like to clarify my own personal standing. My Facebook relat ionship status shows I am single, but that does not mean I cannot show someone affection. My Valentine’s Day was pleasant at its worst.

I cannot stand these simple-tons who t hin k commer-

cialism has effectively killed Valentine’s Day.

Put down the iPhone 4, take off the Dr. Dre-endorsed head-phones, remove the unrea-sonably hip, pseudo-vintage Ray Ban glasses, and please stop telling us how great Daft Punk or how talented Drake really is.

Now, rub your eyes. Did you real ly miss the

blanket of materialism and sha l low possessions t hat engulf our everyday life? Has commercialism only allowed itsel f to r u in Va lent ine’s Day?

The answer is absolutely not. It is all around us. It is inescapable.

To try to brand Valentine’s Day as some make-believe, corporate holiday is to oppose the ideas of joy, fondness and the importance of feeling specia l a ltoget her. More than the over-hyped claims of com mercia l i nterest s,

society as a whole has built up Valentine’s Day to be a day in which someone important should be recognized.

Don’t let the costly decora-tions and the heart-shaped candies be an excuse to ignore the tradition we have created on Valentine’s Day.

Get over yourself and make someone happy.

Sure, there are way too many options when it comes to wasting tons of money on Feb. 14. Nonetheless, there are even more ways to make it a special day for someone at no cost at all.

The fact that f lowers are expensive or that you may have to break a $5 bill to get a fancy card does not mean t hat you should aba ndon trying to show someone you care while cursing some over-priced candy shop.

I guarantee you that the same delighted smile or sexy smirk will stretch across the

face of any mate, friend, lover or crush if you were to give them a painstakingly hand-made gift in place of some chocolates you picked up from Walgreens on the way over.

Cliché as it may sound, on Va lent i ne’s Day, it is indeed the thought that still counts.

Valentine’s Day is worth celebrating

Bath salts. Once innocent, that name is now linked to a harmful drug

that acts like cocaine and has been reported to cause para-noia, hallucinations, convulsions and psychotic episodes, according to some poison control toxicologists. They can be purchased in convenience stores and smoke shops, and they differ from the bathtub additives.

The Editorial Board hopes the Denton City Council bans the sale, possession and use of “bath salts.” We also applaud Texas State Rep. Garnet Coleman for his inclusion of a ban on bath salts in a ban on K2, a street-legal drug that has been banned in many cities nationwide. Both drugs have JWH present.

Effect of bath saltsSome strange police calls have happened because of bath

salts, which typically is made from the drug mephedrone. A man on bath salts tried to chew up a patrol car,

according to CNN. The same article said a woman on bath salts attacked her mother with a machete.

People have hallucinated and some have died because of the substance.

The material is inhaled and can be purchased for about $15 to $20. It may be a cheap high, but bath salts should not to be ingested.

History of misusing chemicalsBath salts are not the only misused compound around.K2 and “Spice,” both synthetic drugs that mimic cannabis,

have also posed a problem for law enforcement across the country. Those drugs have joined a laundry list of substances people thought would make them feel good despite the health implications.

People have abused formaldehyde, spray paint, laughing gas and other chemicals to get high.

Heavily regulated substances, such as tobacco and alcohol, cause death and disease every year.

The benefits of using an unregulated drug do not outweigh the risks.

Precedent of banning substancesDenton has banned an otherwise legal substance before.

Last September, the city approved a ban on K2, which causes increased heart rate, trouble breathing and other health issues.

The city should be proactive about the situation and do what it can to protect the safety of its residents. The Texas Legislature, also, should pass the bill prohibiting K2 with Coleman’s addition.

If it doesn’t sound like a substance is supposed to go in the body, people shouldn’t use it as a drug. If it’s not food and it’s not edible, don’t consume it.

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

Athlete of the Week: Irina leads with emotionBY BEN BABY Senior Staff Writer

Whether junior Irina Paraschiv is beaming on the tennis court or fuming after a lost point, her racket is always happy.

On the last horizontal string of the racket, a small yellow button wears a surprised facial expression, the same expression Paraschiv places on the faces of spectators with her ferocious play.

The junior picked up her first singles victory of the spring Sunday afternoon, with a 6-2, 6-3 win against Kansas State’s Antea Huljev.

“She is capable of playing against anybody,” UNT head coach Sujay Lama said. “I don’t care if we’re playing Stanford or

Florida or any team –– she has that much talent, that she can hang with anybody.”

Paraschiv received the button from assistant coach Jeff Maren her freshman year.

The 21-year old said the button brings her good luck and when she gets frustrated on the court, it takes a mere glance at the bright button to calm her down.

In 2011 she has split her first two singles matches.

The European lifeGrowing up in Bucharest,

Romania, the five-foot-eight-inch ace picked up tennis at age 10 after her uncle, Dumi Munteanu, got her into the sport. Originally, Paraschiv said she liked soccer more than tennis. But once she

picked up the racket, she imme-diately enjoyed it.

She didn’t just like it –– she was good at it. Paraschiv earned the No.1 ranking in the U-18 Romanian national rankings and No. 150 on the International Tennis Federation U-18 rank-ings.

Paraschiv brought her talent and toughness to the Mean Green, adding more depth to a talented roster.

“She’s a leader,” Lama said. “When we’re playing a match, she’s the leader of our team. When she’s charged up, every-body feeds off her energy. Not only does she hold a huge spot at the top, but she also holds a huge spot emotionally. She’s our vocal leader.”

Goodbye Bucharest, hello Denton

In the fall of 2008, the Romania native left the country she was raised in and came to the United States.

“It wasn’t horrible, but it was a huge change not having my family with me and having my support people here,” Paraschiv said. “I was lucky to have Paula with me.”

Paraschiv said that she never felt like she lacked anything growing up. She said that the two countries vary greatly.

“[Romania is] not such a rich country and the possibilities are limited,” Paraschiv said. “When I started playing tennis, I started traveling a lot with my dad. I learned a lot of stuff.”

In 2010, Romania ranked 96th in the world in per capita, averaging $11,500, according to the Central Intelligence Agency fact book.

After arriving stateside, Paraschiv said she got asked where she was from, to which she would reply, “Not here.”

“I’ve spoke English since I was four, but when you come to the US, you realize that you don’t speak English that well,” Paraschiv said while laughing and smiling. “So you go to class for the first time and you’re like, ‘Okay, what is the teacher talking about?”

Dinuta first met playing against each other when they were 12. Paraschiv said she won the match. As the two grew older, the bond between the fami-lies became stronger. The two friends lived an hour and a half away from each other in Romania.

When it was time to choose a school, Paraschiv wanted to attend Oklahoma University in Norman, Okla. However, the head coach retired, and Dinuta talked her friend into attending UNT. It didn’t take long for Lama to approve of the new arrival.

“All I had to do was go to the ITA website and just look at the results,” Lama said. Last season, Paraschiv was named Co-Mean Green Most Valuable Player Award, finishing the spring with a record of 11-9.
