UNT's student newspaper.TRANSCRIPT
Zeeb wound up with a bloody nose after police sprayed him with pepper spray and he fell down face-first.
“He was ultimately arrested for public intoxication, harass-ment of a public servant, resisting arrest, possession of a dangerous drug, a prescrip-tion drug and possession of a dangerous weapon,” Reynolds said.
Once police were able to subdue and search Zeeb, he was found to be carrying a prescription drug and a switch-blade.
Police are required to call medics when they resort to spraying suspects, so EMS was called to the scene to treat Zeeb, who was then transported to Denton County Jail.
Once there, Zeeb was booked for harassing a public servant, resisting arrest, possession of a dangerous drug and posses-sion of a dangerous weapon, with $10,000, $5,000, $1,000 and $500 bonds posted, respec-tively, for each offense.
All bonds were posted, and Zeeb was released on Nov. 16.

Kerr Hall played host to UNT police, and later EMS, on Nov. 14, when they were called to deal with an intoxicated student.
Brett Zeeb, a studio art junior, was kicked out of Kerr’s cafeteria around 6:30 p.m. after behaving erratically and was trying to re-enter when police were called. Police approached him and tried to peacefully take him into custody, but Zeeb resisted and attempted to flee the scene, said Ed Reynolds, UNT deputy chief of police.
Josh Lang, a history junior, was working in the cafeteria swiping IDs when Zeeb walked in and neglected to swipe his ID or pay.
“We went to talk to him and he just started cussing at everyone,” Lang said. “He was leaving anyway, but we did tell him he had to leave, which he did while cussing.”
This was the extent of the cafe-teria’s involvement, as Zeeb was not able go back inside; however, Lang said Zeeb was stood outside the building, waiting for someone
to open the doors with their ID.

The Young Americans for Liberty organization passed out free cigarettes Monday and asked students to sign its petition in protest of UNT’s proposed smoking ban.
The Student Government Association is set to discuss t he ba n at its meet i ng Wednesday, during which the Young Americans for Liberty will present the petition. As of 1:15 p.m. Monday, the group had collected almost
200 signatures. Economics senior Clint

“I believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility,” Townsend said. “I think that the right to smoke is a fundamental right and it should be respected. It’s a very pertinent issue.”
The current policy for smoking on campus prohibits smoking in campus vehicles, inside buildings or within 25 feet of a building.
Though he does not smoke,
Townsend said the univer-sity should not force its will on others, adding that he feels the current policy is sufficient.
“The solution is to main-tain the current policy and not impose further regulations or allow more government control over the lives of people,” Townsend said.
Administrators quickly reprimanded the group when Townsend and other members began handing out free ciga-rettes to students passing by.
“We’re going to contact
some lawyers and look into it a little more to see if there’s any recourse,” Townsend said. “It was symbolic. To ban our expression is a breech of the First Amendment. We’re concerned about that.”
Other students were not so supportive of the protest. Austin Campbell, a freshman intern for SGA, said he’s a proponent for the ban because smoking can be hazardous to the environ-ment and to people.
“I’m for the smoking ban because I love this campus,”
Campbell said. “If we’re such a green campus – I think we’re in the top 10 in the nation – I believe we need to see more initiatives to stop cigarette smoke and cigarette butts in the ground.”
Campbell also said he believes the wide social acceptance of smoking is a detriment to the campus as a whole, adding that while the ban is a good idea, there are other solutions to be considered.

UNT’s Residence Ha l l Association won the Best Delegation award in recog-nition of its school spirit, lead-ership and activities at the Southwest Association of College and University Residence Hall Conference.
From Nov. 17 to 20, SMU hosted the annual conference, which welcomes representatives from more than 50 schools in the Southwest region, including UT Austin, Texas A&M, Texas State and OSU. Those in attendance learn from RHA members at other schools new ideas for programs, ways to promote school spirit and leadership skills, UNT RHA trea-surer and accounting sophomore, Kevin Banke said.
The UNT RHA represents students who live on campus, puts on programs and helps train resi-dent assistants.
“[The conference] was a lot of intense, positive energy,” said Anthony Gilbert, a music freshman and Bruce Hall resident. “It was a great way to start my time at UNT.”
Best Delegation is the most honorable award to earn at the conference, Banke said. The criteria for the award include school spirit displayed by the delegates, school participation in philanthropy and collaboration with delegates from other schools.
Attendees are encouraged to cheer loudly to show school spirit, something Gilbert and Banke said UNT representatives did with gusto.
“We have famous cheers in the Southwest,” Banke said.
Recipients of the awards are determined by a vote of the conference’s board of directors, composed of RHA officers from every school at the conference.

The Occupy Denton move-ment is under fire again, but it’s not the police leading the charge this time. It’s UNT students.
In an effort to “fully evict the un-paying residents of UNT,” a group of students began the Facebook group UNoccupy UNT.
“I understand what they are trying to do,” said history senior
and group administrator Alex Delgado. “But every time I walk through there on my way home, I can see the trash and smell weed. I’ve had friends that have been accosted by their yelling. It’s really disgusting. ”
During the fall UNT Preview on Nov. 19, tour guides tried to steer potential students away from the Occupy Denton site.
“If a student is on the cusp of deciding whether or not they
want to attend UNT, they might see that and say, ‘Oh, that’s really gross,’” Delgado said. “At that point, the school is losing money.”
The Facebook group boasts 283 members but does not have any formal meetings. The same thing can be accomplished in a Facebook group as it could with formal meetings, Delgado said.

at the conference.The chosen delegates met
every week to come up with cheers, create spirit items
and plan a skit for an event at the conference called “roll call.”
The group’s roll-call skit consisted of costumes coin-ciding w it h t he medieva l theme of the conference and a song, which was the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” theme with its lyrics changed to be about UNT.
UNT won Best Skit for roll ca l l, an achievement that cont r ibuted to t he g roup earning Best Delegation.

Political science faculty intend to improve journalIsaac WrIghtSenior Staff Writer
The American Political Science Review, recognized worldwide as the leading journal in political science, will be edited by UNT faculty beginning in summer 2012.
Earlier this year, the American Political Science Association approved UNT’s application to become the new home univer-sity of the publication. The Department of Political Science at UNT proposed an edito-rial board of four of its faculty members, each of whom are experts in one of the four prin-ciple fields of political science: comparative politics, American politics, international affairs and political theory.
Department chair Richard
Ruderman said the APSR, and many scholarly journals, typi-cally accept universities to edit the journal every four years. The editorship of the centu-ry-old publication has histori-cally been among Ivy League and Big 10 schools, Ruderman said, so its move to UNT is very significant. The APSR is currently housed at UCLA.
“UNT is the first in Texas and the South ever to be the home of the APSR,” Ruderman said. “Our proposal to the APSR seemed to be a happy medium of four editors, each of whom are an expert in one of the four fields in political science. Among them, they can handle any issue in the realm of political science.” The new editorial board intends to take the APSR in a slightly
different direction, Ruderman said.
During its proposal for editor-ship, the political science depart-ment suggested making the liter-ature published in the APSR more reader-friendly.
To prepare for the journal’s arrival at UNT, Ruderman said the editors are currently amassing a wide range of polit-ical science experts to review submissions to the journal. The
quarterly APSR publishes about 50 articles a year from more than 800 submissions.
“Because it is a premier journal, very many people apply for it and it has a very low accep-tance rate,” Ruderman said. “It’s in the low double-digits.”
John Ishiyama, a political science professor and former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Political Science Education, will serve as lead editor.
Steve Forde, a political science faculty member for more than 20 years and former editor of the International Studies Quarterly, will also be on the editorial board. Forde has been published in the APSR four times.
Ishiyama said the editorial staff is working to make the journal even more renowned
by improving and expanding its content.
“We would like to see even more articles focusing on inter-national relations, comparative politics, political behavior and issues of race and gender and politics, and research using a variety of different methodolo-gies, submitted to the journal,” Ishiyama said in the press release following the APSA’s announce-ment this year. “And we want to broaden the appeal of the journal to different institutions.”
Ruderman added that the journal coming to UNT presents a great opportunity for political science graduate students.
“It’s an honor and a stepping stone in their career to have an editing internship with a nationally recognized journal,”
Ruderman said.David Kottwitz, a political
science graduate student, said he was excited for UNT when he heard about the accomplishment. Kottwitz said the acquisition of the APSR will raise the profile of the university as a whole and will give graduate students a great advantage because they will have access to internships with one of the top political science journals in the world.
“I think it’s definitely helping toward UNT attaining Tier One status,” Kottwitz said. “Being a mid-sized department, it just makes the political science department and UNT look that much better. This is good recog-nition for the department. It’s a validation of what we’ve been doing.”
“[The award] showed
everyone’s dedication.”

conservative libertarian, I’m not for taking things to the extreme and really limiting people, but if I had to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the ban, I’d say yes.”
Though nearly 200 students signed the petition in a three-hour time frame, interna-tional studies freshman Yana Gololobova said she isn’t sold
on the idea.“They were uninformed,”
Gololobova said. “The member I spoke to didn’t know anything about the ban or what it would entail. I won’t follow something like this unless I know both parties involved are knowledge-able and can inform the public correctly.”

UNoccupy is currently passing around a petition to remove Occupy Denton from the UNT campus. If the petition is signed by at least 5 percent of the student body, it will be put to a vote in the Student Government Association. If SGA votes in favor of the petition, it will notify administration, who can then find an alternative solution.
“We started the petition last week and have a few hundred signatures,” Delgado said. “Five percent is about 1,800 students, but we’re shooting for 2,000 because the students have to provide their EUID and be in good standing with the univer-
sity. Administration is really the only ones that can do anything about this.”
Occupy Denton members defended themselves, saying the mess isn’t theirs.
“The trash left behind belongs to the people who didn’t want to stick out the winter and left it here,” said Occupy Denton member Darwin Cox. “We don’t want to throw it away because it’s nice stuff.”
The members of the move-ment practice proper sanitation, Cox said. The adopted motto is “leave no trace.”
“Most people just come by at the 5 o’clock meetings, eat, and don’t clean up after themselves,” Cox said. “There are trashcans everywhere and we just cleaned up today. I’m actually working on an Occupy code of conduct that

everyone has to follow.” Occupy Denton is located
on campus to raise aware-ness for its cause, members said; however, those in the UNoccupy movement don’t see the point.
“It is not like the Art Building is Wall Street, and I assure you that the profes-sors and faculty at UNT are here because they care. They are not the 1 percent,” said political science junior and UNoccupy member Gaby Gorescu.
Until further action is taken or the petition passes, the Occupy Denton move-ment will remain in front of the Art Building, provided it follows all standards and codes.
“This is just to show the frustration of the students,” Delgado said. “I think they should be allowed to protest but not to camp there. I think we should have pride in our school and the move-ment deters that. They allow anyone, not just students as was originally planned, to trash our campus.”

Two UNT students placed second in different catego-ries at the 2011 Student Design C om p e t i t i on s p on s or e d by the Texas chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers.
The competition is hosted as a part of the chapter’s Student Symposium, an annual event that brings together industry members from schools in Texas as well as other surrounding states to learn from industry professionals.
Beth Barron, an interior design senior, placed second in the residential design cate-gory.
“Since the competition was local and not national I was hoping my odds would be better,” Barron said. “I hoped that having my work recog-nized in a competition like this would be good for my career.”
Barron’s project converted a barn into a residential space. The concept of the design came from a weathervane and includes rooms that branch off
at 90-degree angles like the points of a weathervane.
B a r r o n u s e d G o o g l e SketchUp, a program that allows people to create 3-D models of room designs, to create her project.
A fter work ing as an IT professional for 14 years, Barron decided to pursue interior design because she wanted more creativity in her profession, she said.
“I remodeled my home and received compliments from my friends on my designs,” she said.
Besides the residential cate-gories, other competition cate-gories included commercial, hospitality, pattern, collab-orative and one unique space design.
Marta Caceres, an interior design senior, placed second in the hospitality design cate-gory.
According to t he UNT website, she designed the floor plan for a tropical-inspired hotel restaurant.
For their second-place wins, Caceres and Barron will both receive a trophy and student
profile for one year on the Texas chapter website. They will also be recognized in the quarterly magazine, Design Texas.
Cynthia Mohr of the College of Visual Arts and Design faculty said they encourage all students to participate in competitions like these. She said students typically perform well when they do.
“It helps reinforce to them the quality of their educa-t ion,” Mohr said. “It lets outside people know about the quality of their education
and provides financial support for the students.”
I nter ior desig n ju n ior Tess Hurry participated in a competition where teams were required to decorate an IKEA chair. She said the chair did not have to be functional and could be sculptural instead.
“It’s a good idea to partic-ipate in compet it ions to broaden your creative hori-zons,” Hurry said. “It really helps get you out in t he industry and meet people, and for me, it helps me step out of my comfort zone.”

Commuting can be frus-trating for many, but it’s espe-cially challenging for Govind Iyer of the accounting faculty, who commutes 1,100 miles from his home in Arizona to UNT every week.
Iyer returns home to Tempe, Ariz., every weekend to be with his wife and two children. He has taught accounting courses at UNT for three years and lives at Kerr Hall during weekdays as a faculty-in-residence.
“The school has really become my family,” Iyer said. “I’m here so much and it gives me an oppor-tunity to see different sides of students and bond with the people here.”
Summing up all his travel, Iyer estimated that he had commuted around 50,000 to 60,000 miles in his three years teaching at UNT. He teaches four classes during the weekdays and wakes up at 4 a.m. to catch a 6 a.m. flight on Saturday to return home to
Tempe, and does the same thing to catch a 6 a.m. flight to Dallas on Monday.
“The biggest challenge I face is the time and toll commuting takes on my body, especially since I lose an hour when I come back to Dallas” Iyer said.
But f lying back and forth every weekend wasn’t his orig-inal plan. He misses his family most when he’s away.
“I thought my family would move with me, but my wife has her work in Arizona and things don’t always work out the way you want them to,” Iyer said.
His cha l lenging travel schedule doesn’t affect Iyer’s teaching ability negatively, as he said he’s never missed a class. Accounting senior Jana Deen has taken Iyer’s class and said he was never even late.
“He’s a really engaging teacher and he really wants you to know and understand all of the mate-rial,” Deen said.
Iyer plans ahead so that if his flight is canceled he knows
where to get a backup flight and he usually flies in to Dallas on Monday even though his first class isn’t until Tuesday. He had a close call last spring when all flights to Dallas were canceled because of heavy ice and snow.
“I was thinking ‘this is not something good.’ I was panicking,” Iyer said. He later received an Eagle Alert message that all classes were canceled, so he didn’t have to come.
Iyer pays for his flights out of pocket and has tried driving a few times but doesn’t enjoy the two-day drive.
“Driving through West Texas is not very scenic; it’s tough,” Iyer said.
When he’s in Denton, Iyer likes getting to know students who live at Kerr Hall. He lived in an apartment his first year teaching at UNT, but now enjoys dorm life.
“I understand student life and pressures,” Iyer said. “I see them outside of the classroom and it

He is also an adviser to Beta Alpha Psi, the accounting honor society. And, as a vegetarian, he enjoys eating at Mean Greens
cafeteria in Maple Hall, though he limits himself to eating there once a week so he doesn’t “pig out and gain a lot of weight.”
Because he spends so much time on campus, he’s learned more about students and
teaching and said it’s well worth the cost of commuting.
“Being here so much of the time and getting to interact with the students has been eye-opening,” Iyer said. “It’s made me into a better person.”

W hen President Barack Obama received the Nobel Prize in October 2009, he donated the $1.4 million reward to 10 nonprofit organizations.
Itxia Acevedo, a biology senior, earned a portion of this money when she applied for the Obama teaching scholarship and was one of 12 students nationwide to receive the award.
Obama received the award for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplo-macy and cooperation between people” according to the Nobel Prize website. $125,000 was given to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which CEO Frank Alvarez divided into two-year $5,000 scholarships for Hispanic students studying in the fields of science, technology and mathematics, according to the fund’s website.
“I was impressed; I never thought that I was going to get it, but it felt good to know that I got it because I’m into teaching, biology and the sciences,” Acevedo said.
Acevedo said she found out about the scholarship through a Google search for scholar-ships for Latinos. She wrote an essay about community service and how her mother, who is a teacher, inspired her to become one.
She said the higher-level t hin k ing drew her into biology.
“I think I’ve always been a science person,” Acevedo said. “I don’t like history; I cannot do government, economics or any of that. But if you give me biology and cells, I can do that and I like it. I like the human body. I like how it works; I like all the different processes. I like how we are so complex and different.”
Sherri Settle, former coor-
dinator of Lewisville ISD’s “Learning Beyond the Bell” program, said she met Acevedo two years ago when teaching fifth-grade students who strug-gled with math, biology and the essentials for TAKS.
“She’s probably the most focused, put-together person I know,” Settle said. “She had a natural ability in connecting with the children.”
Settle said Acevedo would tutor the students with the subjects they had the most trouble with, and during the summer she worked with arts and crafts, even cooking.
“People like Itxia just don’t
come around anymore,” Settle said. “She’s always worked that extra mile.”
Aside from taking 20 hours this semester, she’s also part of the Teachers of North Texas program. She wants to help students whose native language isn’t English since she moved to Dallas from Puerto Rico in eighth grade.
“Whenever I got here first, I didn’t know any English and I thought the teachers that actually did help me were those in the ESL classes,” Acevedo said. “I want to help those kids that are like I am who have a Hispanic background and need help.”

The UNT women’s basket-ball team earned a road split with a double-digit victory over the Texas State Bobcats Friday and a narrow loss to the Arizona Wildcats Monday.
After winning four of its first six games, the team is off to its best start in six years.
Texas StateThe Mean Green (4-2)
hammered the Texas State Bobcats (3-2), 61-43 at Strahan Coliseum Friday to earn back-to-back wins for the first time since Jan. 13, 2010.
“We play with a lot more energy than we did last year,” senior guard Tamara Torru said. “I can tell that everyone is more optimistic and it shows in the games.”
Torru got the Mean Green off to a fast start, scoring the team’s first 8 points as UNT built an early 8-3 lead. Torru finished with a game-high 22 points for the game on 9-13 shooting.
The team slowed down after the strong start, shooting just 23 percent from the floor in the first half and holding a slim 24-21 lead at the break.
UNT came out strong early in

the second half, jumping out to a 41-27 lead. The Bobcats never got within 12 points after the run.
The Mean Green shot 50 percent after the break.
Junior forward Jasmine Godbolt added 18 points for UNT
on 6-15 shooting and going 6-12 from the free-throw stripe.
UNT kept the Bobcats in check from start to finish, using a strong defensive performance with five blocks – two by freshman forward Braylah Blakely – and
holding Texas State to just 26 percent shooting.
“I’m happy to get the win, but we have to shoot the ball better,” head coach Karen Aston said. “Our lack of execu-tion will be exposed as we play
some tougher teams if we don’t improve.”
ArizonaFacing a Pacific-12 Conference
team in Tuscon Monday, the Mean Green suffered its first
road defeat of the season in 69-62 loss to the Arizona Wildcats (5-0).
After UNT jumped out to a 4-1 lead, the Wildcats went on a 17-3 run and took a 37-26 lead at halftime.
In the first 12 minutes of the second half, things only got worse for the Mean Green. With eight minutes left in the game, UNT trailed by 22 at 57-35. But, on the shoulders of Torru, the Mean Green made a valiant comeback, cutting the deficit to 5 with just under three minutes to go.
Davellyn Whyte, who led Arizona with 20 points, answered with a key layup to put the game out of reach.
Despite UNT suffering its first road loss of the season, Aston said she was pleased with the team’s effort.
“We got to a certain point in the game where it was time to get with it,” Aston said. “The girls could’ve given up, but they kept on fighting.”
Torru finished the game with a career-high 26 points, including 5-8 shooting from beyond the arc.
“I didn’t even know that I had scored my career high until somebody told me,” Torru said. “It’s exciting, but I would’ve been happier if we won.”
The team returns to action Friday against Oregon State in the Gene Hackerman Invitational.

Defensive troubles plague Mean Green on road
IRVING, Texas (AP) — With five games left in the regular season, Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys have set themselves up for a big finish.
Or, a big flop.The Cowboys returned to
work Monday holding a four-game winning streak, a lead in the NFC East and a clear route to the playoffs. Their challenge is living up to the expectations they’ve raised.
Coach Jason Garrett liked what he saw on the practice field.
“I think our players came back from our three-day break with the right spirit about them, the
right competitiveness, the right demeanor,” he said.
The Cowboys have long considered the stretch between Thanksgiving and the end of the regular season as the fourth quarter of their season. And just like the fourth quarter of a game usually determines the outcome, this fourth quarter usually deter-mines Dallas’ fate.
Dallas has been above .500 only three times since ‘96, with all coming in recent years. Romo did it in 2007 and in ‘09, the year he ended the postseason drought.
The Cowboys also did it last
season, with Romo hurt and practically no chance of making the playoffs, but with everyone playing hard for Garrett, who was then only the interim coach.
“I think the biggest thing that we talk to our team about, really, right from the start of training camp is that you have to improve,” Garrett said. “You have to improve individually and collectively over the course of the season.”

ending on field goals by rookie Dan Bailey.
“It’s just about getting better as the season goes along, and that’s what we’re trying to do,” safety Gerald Sensabaugh said. “We missed out on some opportu-nities early on in the season. We had some games we should’ve won but kind of let them go. But the last couple of weeks, we’ve had two victories where we had to come from behind.”
All season, Garrett has urged the team to “play through success and play through adversity and keep trying to get better.”
“We believe that if you improve over the course of the season, week-to-week, you are going to be playing well when you need to be playing really well, and that’s the end of the year,” he said.
Dallas plays at Arizona, then comes home to face the Giants. New York went into a game against New Orleans on Monday night tied with the Cowboys for tops in the division and plays unbeaten Green Bay before visiting Cowboys Stadium.
Dallas then plays at Tampa Bay, home against Philadelphia and closes on the road against the Giants on New Year’s Day.
Those two games left against New York is the main reason the Cowboys don’t have to rely on
anyone’s help to clear a path to the playoffs. That is, provided they win one or both.
“You’re in a situation now where you control our own
destiny,” said defensive end Marcus Spears, who insisted he wasn’t even going to watch the Giants-Saints game. “We’ve got to continue to play our game.”
any momentum in a lopsided 82-59 loss.
“Mississippi State is a very talented basketball team,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “We were outplayed, but this game was good for us because we needed to be matched up against a powerful opponent.”
UNT jumped out to a 7-4 lead in the first three minutes, but it was all Mississippi State from then on. The Mean Green (1-3) went more than 10 minutes without a basket while the Bulldogs (7-1) notched
a 63 percent first-half shooting percentage en route to a 51-30 halftime lead.
In the second half, UNT hung closer with the Bulldogs, being
outscored just 31-29, but failed to mount a comeback. Freshman guards Chris Jones and Jordan Williams led UNT with 12 and 10 points respectively. Senior forward Kedrick Hogans added two blocks, but the Mean Green big men struggled with early foul trouble.
Junior forward Arnett Moultrie led the Bulldogs with 20 points and nine rebounds while senior guard Dee Bost chipped in 18 points and five assists.
“Mississippi State is a tough,
gritty team,” Williams said. “They never quit, never stopped pushing the tempo, and won the loose balls. That was the difference.”
For the game, Mississippi State shot 52 percent while holding the Mean Green to just 32 percent shooting. In addition, the Bulldogs won the rebounding battle 40-34 and forced 17 turn-overs.
“Our shots are going to fall eventually, but we’ve got to get some things cleaned up on defense,” Johnny Jones said.
“You can’t let a team shoot 63 percent in the first half and over 50 percent for the game and expect to win.”
After three straight losses, the Mean Green will look to turn things around in Austin tonight when it takes on its second Big 12 opponent: the Texas Longhorns.
“We’re a young team and we just have to hang in there,” Williams said. “This is a tough stretch, but I think we will see some improvement very soon.”

starting players. T h e n e g a t i v e s f a r
out weighed t he posit ives last year and it was apparent early on, but plenty of posi-tive change has been seen in 2011.
Let’s look at a couple of those improvements so far this year.
Defense playing betterLast year in its first three
games, UNT gave up 257 points – including 120 at Oral Roberts.
In 2011 the numbers look drast ica l ly di f ferent: 167 points in UNT’s first three games. That’s a lmost 100 points fewer.
One of the things Aston talked about during my first interview with her was defense as a whole. In her last two years as Charlotte’s head coach, teams averaged just 60.2 points a game against the 49ers and shot under 35 percent from the f loor. She came to Denton looking to improve a team that had allowed more than 70 points a game each of the last three seasons.
For the season last year, the Mean Green gave up about 73 points per game while aver-aging 64 points scored per game.
Through three games this season, UNT is scoring a
point less than that with 63 ppg, but the scoring defense has been wonderful. UNT is allowing 54.2 points per game – second in the Sun Belt – and opponents are only shooting 39 percent against the Mean Green.
Balanced scoringWith the departure of guard
Denetra Kellum, most knew it was time for junior forward Jasmine Godbolt to step into the spotlight as the star of the team. Godbolt has responded, ranking second on the team with 13.2 ppg and leading the team with 9.3 rebounds per game.
Godbolt has not been the
only one to elevate her play. Senior guard Tamara Torru
leads the team with 16.5 ppg and UNT has three other players averaging more than 5 points per game.
The balanced scoring has given UNT an offense that
hasn’t relied on the 3-pointer as has been the usual custom of this team (382 made in last three years). The presence of a balanced attack gives the team more options and more areas to spread the ball to keep opposing defenses unsure of which player to hone in on. It will serve them well as the schedule gets more and more difficult before conference play.
When a team is coming off winning only five of 30 games the previous season, there usually isn’t too much to be optimistic about.
Through six games, Aston and the team are proving otherwise.

It’s six games into the season and the remaining non-confer-ence schedule for the team is intimidating, but I will shelve my usual early-season pessi-mistic views to say this: Head coach Karen Aston has the UNT women’s basketball team working harder than it has been in a long time.
Six games is not a suit-able time frame to evaluate a team, but it’s impossible not to notice the positives coming off a miserable 2010 campaign with as many wins (five) as

Did you take advantage of the newly popular
Cyber Monday?
“Actually no. I bought something online [Sunday], but not [Monday]. So I guess not.”
“Yes I did. I actually bought a car, a brand-new Audi. It’s pretty
cool! And I bought a brand-new computer.”
“No, I did not partake in that, and I didn’t even know it was
occurring.”
“No I didn’t. I knew about [it], but I’m in class from 11 to 8, so I
didn’t have much time.”
With things like online classes, online banking and online media, today’s society lives a digital existence. So it makes sense that top retailers would create an online shopping holiday to complement Black Friday. Enter Cyber Monday.
Cyber Monday started in November 2005 but gained momentum when online sales jumped from $837 million on the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2009 to $1.2 billion in 2010. Reuters reports that online sales are up for this Cyber Monday by 15 percent over last year.
Cyber Monday finds its success in the same kind of one-day-special-event
deals employed by physical retailers during Black Friday. Unlike Black Friday shoppers, those who go the online route don’t have to wait in protracted lines at 3 in the morning. CareerBuilder.com estimates that half of American workers planned to shop from the office.
With deals like Target’s $500 discount on a 40-inch Samsung television and Sony’s 33 percent discount on one of its pricy entertainment bundles, it’s easy to see how people would be distracted from work.
This consumer holiday not only represents single-day growth for online retail, but a growing digital world.
Businesses’ increased profit from
online retailing creates the opportu-nity for better deals on a year-round basis. In fact, a survey conducted by online rebate service Ebates showed that 64 percent of online consumers were there because it’s where they believed the best prices and deals to be. The growth of online company Groupon – a digital coupon distributor – can be attributed to its astounding deals, offering anywhere from 50-90 percent off various products on a daily basis.
Coupled with businesses’ willing-ness to move to a digital marketplace is a group of consumers who are getting more and more Internet-savvy by the
day. Time magazine explains that in recent years some older consumers were uncomfortable giving out credit card numbers online, making digital shopping impossible. However, as older Americans become more digi-tally literate, more and more of the over-35 crowd is opting for post-Thanks-giving splurging from the comfort of their homes.
In this digital world, chances are that you’re reading this article from your computer instead of in print. And while online content may be the decline of the print news industry, digitiza-tion is nothing but beneficial for the consumer market.
Congressional Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas’ 21st district introduced the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, to the House of Representatives last month. Essentially, the bill is aimed at stopping online piracy and is mainly geared toward Web companies that are hosting unau-thorized copyrighted content.
If SOPA is passed, websites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, SoundCloud and many ot her popular social media sites would be required to police user-gener-ated content, and the bill would make it possible for these compa-nies to be sued for said content. So, for example, if someone uploaded a photo from the latest Harry Potter movie on their blog, the hosting blog site would be sued as well as blocked from Internet service providers and search engines, all without stepping foot in a courtroom.
Major opponents of the bill, including Google and Facebook, insist that SOPA is essentially “Internet censorship” and would be economically devastating, resulting in the loss of millions of jobs. SOPA’s provisions would require search engines like Google to sever ties with alleged copyright-infringing sites in both advertising and search results, which would negatively affect the revenue of innocent companies.
The lead supporters of the bill are major companies in the entertain-ment industry, such as the Motion Picture Association of America, who are understandably tired of having their content pirated all over the Internet. Every time someone
downloads a copy of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” instead of buying the movie, these companies lose money. SOPA would supposedly eliminate downloading sites like The Pirate Bay, which allows users to share and download movies and music for free.
But at what cost would this policy be effective? The entertainment industry has been fighting the battle against illegal downloading for years; however, SOPA is way too generalized to be the answer. The bill would affect too many innocent companies and result in the loss of too many jobs.
Google’s copyright policy counsel Katherine Oyama said it best at the recent congressional hearing: “As long as there is money to be made pushing pirated and counter-feit products, tech-savvy criminals around the world will find ways to sell these products online.”

It isn’t just that some of the candi-dates for the GOP presidential nomi-nation occasionally seem divorced from modern reality; it’s that they’re determined to refight battles that most of us thought had ended roughly a century ago.
A case in point is newly inaugu-rated front-runner Newt Gingrich, who in a talk Monday at Harvard University denigrated federal child labor laws that date back to the 1930s.
“It is tragic what we do in the poorest neighborhoods in trapping children ... in child laws which are truly stupid,” Gingrich said. “OK, you say to someone, ‘You shouldn’t go to work before you’re 14, 16 years of age.’ Fine. You’re totally poor. You’re in a school that is failing with a teacher that is failing. I tried for years to have a very simple model. Most of these schools ought to get rid of the union-ized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school.”
Mr. Bumble from “Oliver Twist” could not have said it better.
If Gingrich were the only one invoking ancient legislative history, we’d dismiss it as an anomaly (he is, after all, a former history professor).
But he’s got company. Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s book “Fed Up!” is a trea-tise on the ways our liberal great-grandparents destroyed America, starting with the likes of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson at the height of the Progressive Era.
Planned Parenthood, founded in the shadow of World War I by feminist icon Margaret Sanger, is a popular
target among the GOP hopefuls, most of whom would like to pull its federal funding.
Planned Parenthood arose to help women escape poverty by helping them make their own reproductive decisions; it’s clinics anger modern conservatives because they perform abortions , but they also save women’s lives by giving them an alternative to terminating their pregrnancies in unsafe conditions.
What characterizes the response to these historic reforms is cluelessness about the forces that created them.
Perry romanticizes the 19th century laissez-faire era, back before the federal government stepped in to regulate such things as food safety or labor rights, while seemingly unaware that it was a time of violent class warfare between rich and poor.
And surely there are few people besides Gingrich who want to return to the days when middle schoolers were forced to earn their own keep.
Child labor laws were enacted because children, who are easy to exploit, were once thrown into factory sweatshops instead of being sent to school.
There is no surer way to create a permanent underclass than to fail to educate poor kids, which is why today they’re not allowed to work during school hours and kids under 14 can’t perform most forms of nonfarm paid labor.
It’s tough to do your homework when you’re working as a janitor, Mr. ex-Speaker.

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

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