For the third straight year, the Mean Green men’s basketball team will play in the Sun Belt Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament Final.

No. 5 UNT (18-13) took close victories against No. 4 Louisiana-Lafayette and No. 9 Arkansas State to set up the championship game against Western Kentucky at 6 p.m.tonight in Hot Springs, Ark. UNT beat WKU 84-67 on Jan. 12 at the Super Pit.

“This is either win or go home,” freshman forward Tony Mitchell said. “We ain’t going home anytime soon.”

Louisiana-LafayetteAfter falling to the Ragin’

Cajuns (16-15) in both regular season meetings, the Mean Green won the matchup that mattered most, as junior guard Brandan Walton made a game-winning three–pointer to send UNT to the SBC Tournament semifinals with a 65-62 win Sunday.

“Coach [Johnny] Jones has always told me to step into my shot, and I’m a great shooter so I just believed in myself and I was able to knock the shot down,” Walton said. “We just came into this game knowing it would be a dog fight for 40 minutes, and we just tried to take it every possession at a time.”

The game remained close throughout, as neither team could pull away by more than five points.

Freshman forward Tony Mitchell scored just five points in his first SBC Tournament appearance, but he was a force in the paint, grabbing 11 rebounds with six blocks.

“He [Mitchell] is so unselfish in terms of how he plays, and he’s not trying to force the action,” UNT head coach Johnny Jones said. “A lot of times defenses are devised to try and stop him. He was able to make the extra passes and get guys open tonight [Sunday.]”

The Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas a n nou nced Feb. 2 a new policy for all schools eligible to receive funds, calling for a tobacco-free zone around each research building and all connected walkways and parking lots.

The UNT Denton campus receives $200,000 funding for prostate cancer research in the Life Sciences Complex. The c u r r e n t c a m p u s p o l i c y proh ibit s smok i ng i nside buildings and university vehi-cles, as well as 25 feet from all public entrances into build-ings.

“UNT off icia ls wil l work

with CPRIT to ensure that we have a plan of action to meet t he requirements of the new tobacco use policy,” UNT spokesman Buddy Price

said. “We will work with them closely to do our best to meet that goal.”

After the death of Occupy Denton member Darwin Cox in December from “mixed alcohol and morphine (heroin) intoxi-cation,” UNT has changed its free speech policy by eradi-cating overnight camping on campus.

The policy, pending approval from UNT President V. Lane Rawlins, would prohibit sleeping

outdoors during the hours of 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.

The proposed policy would affect the annual Habitat for Humanity charity event Shack-a-thon, where student organiza-tions build dwelling structures on campus. The policy would limit shacks to three walls, allowing for increased surveillance by police and Habitat for Humanity staff.

“Making one side of the tent clear and visible should cut down

on drug and alcohol use,” said Maureen McGuinness, dean of students and assistant vice pres-ident for student affairs. “This policy is not to say that anything has happened at Shack-a-thon but rather, ‘is it a matter of time before something does?’ It would be terrible to look back and think we could have prevented some-thing.”

Directors from the Denton County Transportation Authority presented the results of the first community survey, addressing train and bus reliability, afford-ability, comfort and convenience at a public meeting Monday night.

Proposed changes in response to the survey results included updating schedules every January and August, extending the A-train line south to Beltline Highway and finishing an app that tracks buses in real time via a global posi-tioning system.

“The survey results were very important, and the feedback we got from that was consistent with the feedback here tonight,” DCTA President Jim Cline said. “When we bring these options to

the board of directors, the consis-tency between our recommenda-tions and this feedback will help pass the plan.”

The survey found issues with bus schedule reliability and conve-nience to the rail. Top priorities for both lines were increased midday rail service, more peak period rail

trips and later A-train weekday hours. Cline noted improvements to bus reliability have begun and are showing positive results.

“A midday service would be great. I’ve wanted to take the train to Dallas for meetings and I can’t,” Denton city councilman Kevin Roden said. “There’s a number of people that live and work in Denton and go to school here, and weekend service would be helpful.”

Seventeen million dollars has been set aside to update the trains and rail with a federally-mandated Positive Train Control system. Trains with the system would detect other trains using GPS and automatically apply brakes if they detect an impending wreck.

New train cars are sitting on the tracks waiting for regulatory processes to be completed. The eight cars were designed exclu-sively for DCTA and include low floor-level boarding, bike racks and a diesel-electric engine. DCTA hopes to have the cars in operation late spring or early summer.

A new app will give bus riders more information using predic-tive arrival.

“Say I’m standing at a stop and want to know where my ride is, I use the app and using GPS

attached to the bus, I’ll know when it will hit my stop,” said Dee Leggett, vice president of communications and plan-ning.

Several residents brought up safety concerns during the meeting. The A-train struck two pedestrians crossing the Lewisville Lake railroad trestle Feb. 25, injuring one and killing the other.

“Recent events have high-lighted the need to be vey careful around our trains,” Cline said. “The train system is very safe, trains are an effi-cient way of moving people, but if you’re not careful around it, there can be very bad results.”

UNT students take part in conferenceHOLLY HARVEYSenior Staff Writer

Two UNT graduate students attended the United Nation’s Committee on the Status of Women in New York City from Feb. 25 to March 3 to gain expe-rience in advocacy and negotia-tion for women’s rights.

Ma r y a n ne O w it i a nd Christine Schneider were among 20 U.S. students selected to attend the conference and received temporary delegate status at the U.N.

“The conference is really about the importance of not just talking, but having affected women at the table represented and discussing how to solve problems,” Schneider said.

UNT was the only school that had more than one student selected to attend, said Sandra Spencer, director of women’s studies at UNT. The university also had a student participate in the program in 2010.

The Commission on the Status of Women featured female Nobel Peace Prize winners and U.S. and foreign political leaders. Attendees learned how governments work with outside nongovernmental organizations

and worked on recommenda-tions for improving women’s status, Owiti said.

“It was exhausting going to all of the sessions for the U.N.,” Owiti said. “There was such a wide range of topics.”

Owiti and Schneider are from

Kenya and Canada, respectively. Through their participation at the U.N. they learned about the importance of global collabo-ration throughout the world, Owiti said.

“It was exciting to see what

other countries are doing,” Owiti said. “I got to meet with other delegates and see their perspectives and share our hopes and goals.

Both Owiti and Schneider applied for the practicum through a short statement of

intent and had the UNT women’s studies program write a letter of recommendation.

As part of the practicum, they are required to complete an advocacy program in North Texas, Schneider said. Schneider plans to speak to undergraduate classes about her experiences but isn’t sure what her project will be yet. Owiti is working to create a cultural sensitivity program in Dallas.

“I want to create a program that educates people about other cultures so they don’t offend other people,” Owiti said.

The women’s studies depart-ment will be available to provide help and input in Owiti and Schneider’s projects, Spencer said.

“Maryanne and Christine are outstanding students,” Spencer said. “Their work shows that our studies and class work in women’s studies has implica-tions in the wider world.”

A group of UNT students will travel to places like New York City and New Orleans to participate in community service projects as part of the Center for Leadership and Service’s Alternative Spring Break.

ASB started three years ago with six separate one-week trips. Last year, the program expanded to 10 trips, and 14 trips are sched-uled this year. Projects range from feeding the homeless to building habitats for exotic rescued animals.

“[The] goal of ASB is to create meaningful, low-cost service

trips and raise awareness of social issues in communities a lot of people have very little knowledge of,” said Amy Simon, director of the Center for Leadership and Service (CLS).

More than 200 students applied for ASB for Spring Break 2012. The CLS wasn’t prepared for the rise of interest in the program and had to turn down over half the applicants.

“We hate turning people away, especially those who are so passionate about service,” Simon said. “We want to expand. We would love to keep growing and adding more trips. We didn’t expect the sudden jump in student interest and just aren’t growing fast enough.”

The trips are planned and led by students, consisting of nine-15 students and an advisor on each trip. One hundred thirty students and staff from UNT are expected to take part in ASB this year, according to Simon.

Higher education graduate student Sarah Amberson is leading an ASB team on a trip to Galveston next week.

“This is my second year going to Galveston to work on envi-ronmental restoration and hurricane cleanup,” Amberson said. “Being a part of ASB is a

more sustained commitment to community service. As a student, you are giving up your spring break and engaging with the community.”

The program ties into the university’s “four bold goals,” according to Amberson.

“One of our new four bold goals concerns community engagement,” Amberson said. “We are giving back to commu-nities all across the country and making a name for UNT as a school with wholesome students who care.”

Advertising senior Kellie Hill went on a ASB trip to New Orleans last year and said the experience creates lasting relationships.

“It’s a great experience going to somewhere you’ve never been before with people you don’t know,” Hill said. “You get into that van with strangers and when you head back to Denton at the end of the week, you are riding back with family.”

Applications for Spring Break 2012 are closed, but applica-tions for 2013 will be available in September.

Founded in 2007, CPRIT was awarded about $600 million in grants by the Texas Legislature for 2012 and 2013 for cancer prevention research, according to CPRIT.

Each institution is allowed to designate which buildings, surrounding walkways and parking lots their grant applies to.

“[Schools] need to show due diligence by August 31, 2012, and a good faith effort to move toward the new policy,”

said Ellen Read, CPRIT infor-mation specialist. “While we can’t tell students how to govern their campus, we don’t mind a complete ban. After all, our inten-tion is to eradicate cancer.”

The Board of Regents at Texas Tech has banned tobacco prod-ucts around specific buildings, and the University of Texas Student Government supports a campus-wide ban. Though the policy does not require a campus-wide ban, typically such a ban is more feasible and easier to enforce than having random tobacco-free zones, according to Read.

The UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth has received a total of $2,662,208 from CPRIT

and is already in compliance with the new policy, according to UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson.

The fund awarded UNT $200,000 for prostate cancer research in October 2010.

Biology professor Pudur Jagadeeswaran is looking for a way to detect prostate cancer in men earlier. He and his staff are creating cancer in zebra fish to look for similarities to human prostate cancer.

“I would like to see a total ban on smoking for the whole campus,” Jagadeeswaran said. “Initially it will hurt [smokers], but ultimately it will illumi-nate and help them become healthier.”

Police and Habitat for Humanity members have always patrolled the annual event, though this year it is expected to be more protected, according to McGuinness.

The proposed policy has raised concern among student organi-zations.

“I can understand why they would do the three wall thing, but the all night part is what all the fun comes from,” said Lindsay Tucker, an undecided sophomore and member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. “People bring out guitars and eat food. You really get to know those

people who you’re with.” Emergency administration

and planning senior Nicholas LaGrassa said he thinks Shack-

a-thon should be an exception to the proposed policy change.

“I think that a charity event such as Shack-a-thon should

warrant a waiver,” LaGrassa said. “I can understand changing it for camping. If I wanted to camp outside the Language Building I should get kicked off campus, but this is different.”

Sandra Monclova, office manager of the Denton Habitat for Humanity, said she has never had a problem with student partici-pants.

“It’s always been very orga-nized,” Monclova said. “From what I’ve seen it has definitely grown, but students are very well behaved.”

Neither a date nor location has been verified for this year’s Shack-a-thon. Rawlins said he would look at the policy when it gets to him but does not know when that will be.

“You really get to know those

people who you’re with.”

Slavery is far from a thing of the past – about 27 million men, women and children world-wide are victims of human traf-ficking, according to the U.S. Department of State.

Among those fighting back against this international crime is a small group of students at UNT called Students Against Trafficking and Slavery.

“I saw a need for this organiza-tion at UNT because human traf-ficking isn’t just a problem some-where else that we can ignore,” founder and UNT alumna Allison Moist said, her voice rising with intensity. “There is trafficking going on in brothels and hotels all over Dallas.”

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice, human trafficking includes those forced or coerced into performing manual labor or sexual acts against their will. The victims are often young women and children, and about 25 percent of them are in Texas, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

UNT Students Against Trafficking and Slavery fund-raises and volunteers for similar organizations such as Women International, the Mercy Project, Traffick911, the Nest Foundation and Mosaic Family Services.

On Saturday, seven members of the group volunteered at

UNT students stand upagainst human tra� cking

Dallas’ Mosaic House, a shelter for women and children who have been victims of domestic violence and human traf-ficking.

They spent several hours organizing storage rooms and playing with children staying at the house.

“A halfway house like this is necessary for women some-times,” explained Keia, a Mosaic House attendant who declined to give her last name. “They often lack the job skills necessary to provide for themselves and their kids. Many victims of human trafficking are brought in from other countries and don’t speak English.”

Members of the UNT group said volunteer projects such as Saturday’s visit to the Mosaic House were critical to the orga-nization’s goals.

“I’ve had friends who were in abusive situations and who’ve escaped from prostitution,” said Emily Cole, international studies senior and Students Against Human Trafficking treasurer. “I’ve seen firsthand the pain and drama it brings into lives.”

“We can’t do much, but we do what we can,” Cole said, cleaning up a craft project she had arranged for the house’s chil-dren. “At this level, our job is to raise awareness and tell people what to look out for, and to let the victims coming out the other side

know that they are not alone and that people still care.”

Josephina, a mother who declined to give her last name for safety reasons, stays at the Mosaic House with her chil-dren.

“It’s hard, but we are safe here,” she said. “The volun-teers make my children feel special.”

Signs that someone may be a victim of human trafficking can include a person lacking legal documentation or not knowing what city or state they are in, according to Denton police officer Orlando Hinojosa.

Hinojosa advised that people pay attention to their surround-ings for their own safety.

“Be alert at all times. We seem to be too busy to pay attention to our surroundings.” Hinojosa said. “If we do not take care of ourselves, who will?”

Hinojosa urged anyone who sees evidence of human traf-ficking to call the police imme-diately.

UNT Students Against Human Trafficking includes about 20 students who meet in Wooten 110 at 5 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month.

You can report suspected traf-ficking crimes or get help by calling the national 24/7 toll-free National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 1-888-373-7888.

For almost 23 years, the “Flying Tomato” pizza joint on Fry Street was the place to be.

Students, teachers, Denton residents and the occasional UNT class looking for a change of scenery would take to the graffitied confines and open balcony of the beloved restau-rant for pleasant conversation and good times, or at least an enormous slice of pizza.

The Tomato closed down on May 13, 2007, as did many of the businesses then crowded around Fry Street after a buyout by a Houston-based real estate company.

A day before the building was to be demolished, The Tomato – and a good portion of Fry along with it – went up in flames, captured in the documentary “The Burning of Fry Street.”

No one was injured, and while the police initially suspected arson, no charges have ever been filed.

Four years to the day after it first closed, The Tomato rose from the ashes at a new loca-tion in Sanger, Texas, on May 13, 2011.

However, the Sanger spot still feels the pull of UNT’s gravity.

“Our main goal is to just get back to Denton,” said Michael Slusarski, manager at The Tomato and the owner’s son.

Slusarski said they want to get near campus if possible. The Flying Tomato franchises in Illinois, where The Tomato got its start, are all near college campuses.

Denton’s Flying Tomato opened in 1984, and co-owner Robert “Ski” Slusarski and his family took over in 1986.

The Slusarskis kept the

Long live � e Tomato

recipes but changed the name, removing the “Flying” from The Tomato.

After the burning of Fry Street in 2007, four years of legal wran-gling ensued.

“We kind of sat here in limbo for four years,” Ski Slusarski said.

The store finally re-opened in Sanger in 2011 and has been successful.

Ski Slusarski, who works two other jobs at Miller Brewing Company and the Braum’s on University Drive, said that while he enjoys the Sanger store, he often misses being in Denton.

“That whole area was kind of like family,” Ski Slusarski said.

The Slusarski family and current co-owners Cindy Usrey, Austin Harman and John Black, who all met at the Tomato in Denton, said The Tomato will remain in Sanger for at least another year.

Ski Slusarski said financial issues were keeping the pizza joint from making a trium-phant return to Denton, but he welcomed any Denton Tomato fans – old and new – to come visit the Sanger store.

The Tomato does not usually deliver to Denton but will make exceptions for large orders or with a day’s notice. To help

Denton visitors out they will also meet customers at the Love’s Truck Stop off of exit 473, the halfway point between the store and Denton.

Photog raphy f resh ma n Katie Slusarski, Ski and Becky’s daughter, works at the store on weekends.

“Coming here on the week-ends is a nice break to see my family, because I don’t see them during the week,” Katie Slusarski said.

The store is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., but the employees are there at 9 a.m. to prepare for the day, making the dough and cutting all the veggies fresh. Pizza is about $5 a slice.

“It is so laid back, but we get stuff done,” Katie Slusarski said. “Customer service is our main thing, and making quality pizza, not just quantity.”

Despite its new digs, the Tomato hasn’t forgotten its roots: a mural on the wall depicts the history of tomatoes and eventually the Tomato, from its Yankee beginnings to its holocaust in Denton to its rebirth in Sanger.

UNT’s 39 greek organi-zat ions of f icia l ly k icked off their annual greek week Monday with a “Greek Out The Holidays” banner compe-tition. The twin-sized bedsheet banners will hang on the third floor of the University Union throughout the week, dedicated to promoting fraternities and sororities on campus.

Katy Miller, assistant director for the Dean of Students, said this is an opportunity for the organizations to get together and work in teams for a series of events scheduled for this week.

“The main idea is to promote unity and expose them to other organizations that they wouldn’t ordinarily talk to,” Miller said.

Eight teams, comprised of four or five chapters each, were announced about a month ago, and formed based on chapter size and whether or not the chapters worked together on events in the past year.

Each team will represent a holiday: St. Patrick’s Day, Independence Day, New Year’s Day, Christmas, spring break, Valentine’s Day, Halloween and Mardi Gras.

Delta Ga mma member Alex Cheatham, a strategic communications junior, said Greek Week is equivalent to Homecoming Week in the fall in that the greek organiza-tions are very involved and look forward to it in the spring semester.

Aside from the more social events, the greeks will host a charity spaghetti dinner at $5 per person at 6 p.m. in the Silver Eagle Suite tonight. All proceeds go toward Common Ground in New Orleans, a group that helps with the rebuilding process in Louisiana and provides legal advice.

A blood drive will also be set up outside of the Union today and tomorrow.

The capstone event, the Greek Awards ceremony, is the most formal of the week’s festivi-ties, doling out awards such as

Fraternities, sororities get going with Greek Week

“Fraternity Man of the Year” and ”Sorority Woman of the Year.”

Most coveted, however, is the “Chapter of the Year” award that recognizes a standout sorority or fraternity.

“It’s something that everyone wants, because it means that organization is the best across the board and on campus,” Cheatham said.

Last year Delta Gamma was chosen as the Chapter of the Year.

Greek Week is full of student-organized events designed to be fun but to also contribute posi-tively to UNT and the commu-nity.

“All of these events are

planned by the students, and it’s evident by the things they put on, such as the blood drive, that giving back to the commu-nity is extremely important,” Miller said.

Alyssa Dixon, development and family studies senior and student assistant for the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities, has played a major role in the planning process.

Dixon said she has been getting things organized for this week since October 2011.

“The chapters take Greek Week seriously, but they also have a lot of fun with it,” Dixon said.

After picking up a first round tournament win, the UNT women’s basketball team season ended in crushing fashion Sunday at the Sun Belt Women’s Basketball Tournament in Hot Springs, Ark., with a one-point loss to Florida Atlantic.

Despite losing to FAU in the quarterfinals, UNT managed to win a game in the Sun Belt postseason tournament for the first time since beating Florida International in 2010.

“I’m proud of the team and the progress we made throughout the year,” head coach Karen Aston said. “I think we have a better presence about ourselves now. We carry ourselves better, we’re more confident, and we will continue to build.”

First round dominanceUNT (15-16) outplayed the

Troy Trojans from the opening tip in Saturday’s 75-61 win in the first round. The Mean Green, which had four players score in

double figures, opened the game with a 36-13 run in the game’s first 13 minutes.

However, the Trojans ended the first half on a 19-3 run of their own to cut the lead to 39-32 at halftime.

“I thought we really had a lapse defensively in the last part of the first half,” Aston said. “Otherwise, I thought we played a pretty complete second half.”

Troy (2-26) couldn’t cut into the lead any further in the second half, as UNT punished the Trojans in the paint, with junior forward Jasmine Godbolt and sopho-more forward Ash’Lynne Evans each converting on three-point play opportunities.

The win set up a matchup against Sun Belt East Division No. 2 seed FAU.

Hot Springs heartbreakUNT held an 18-point half-

time lead but couldn’t hold on as FAU senior forward April Goins’ putback layup with 1.8 seconds left ended the Mean Green’s season in a 56-55 loss.

For the second game in a row,

UNT raced out to a quick start and built a 24-6 lead after eight minutes of play.

It was a tale of two halves, as FAU came out with a high-pressure full-court press, which forced the Mean Green into 20 turnovers.

FAU trimmed UNT’s 18-point halftime lead down to eight points with 7:56 remaining and only trailed by one point when senior guard Tamara Torru, who finished with 17 points in her last SBC game, hit two three-pointers to push the Mean Green’s advantage back to 55-48 with 2:30 remaining.

“I just took [the shots] because I wanted to them go in,” Torru said. “I was hoping that would be the momentum changer.”

After two FAU baskets, FAU senior guard Teri Stamps was fouled on a shot attempt and made one of two free throws. Godbolt got the rebound but threw the ball away, giving FAU another chance to win it with 11.4 seconds left.

Goins made the putback, and UNT couldn’t get a shot up after a timeout at the end of the game.

“The thing that bit us in this game is the same thing that bit us all year,” Aston said. “We don’t have a killer instinct.”

In its final tournament of the season, the Mean Green softball team (8-10) fell to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (14-3) in the Hyatt Downtown Tulsa Tournament champi-onship game in Tulsa, Okla., on Sunday.

UNT posted a 3-2 record over the weekend.

“The offense seemed to be a little bit more on track than it was in Waco [at the Texas Shootout,]” head coach T.J Hubbard said. “Scoring early and scoring often defi-nitely helped the momentum moving in our favor.”

FridayIn the first game of the tour-

nament, the Mean Green beat the Loyola Ramblers (0-5) 12-9.

Senior outfielder Megan Rupp got the Mean Green’s offense off to a quick start, scoring the first run in the bottom of the first inning. Each team scored at least two runs in the last three innings, but the Ramblers’ four runs in the seventh weren’t enough to catch the Mean Green.

Holmen’s career-high 21 points on five-for-five shooting from beyond the arc, the Mean Green defeated the Red Wolves (14-20) 76-72 for the second time this season Monday.

“I just kept coming off screens, and my teammates saw I had the hot hand and they just kept giving me the ball,” Holmen said. “My shot hasn’t been falling all season but I was shooting the ball with confidence last game and it just carried over.”

half, but a 9-2 Arkansas State run gave the Red Wolves (14-20) the lead with 5:25 left in the second half.

Early in the second half, Mitchell and junior guard Roger Franklin, the team’s two highest scoring post players, had to go to the bench with foul trouble, but the Mean Green was able to stay within striking distance because of its depth.

Every single starter for the Mean Green scored in double digits, as the team shot 59 percent from the field. The Mean Green also hit eight of its 13 attempts from the three-point line.

‘The guys came out and played excellent basketball against a very tough basketball team,” Jones said.

doubleheader, UNT fell to Tulsa 7-2 in the first of two matchups the teams played in the tour-nament.

The Mean Green scored in only one inning during the game, while the Golden Hurricane scored in all but two innings.

SaturdayThe Mean Green used a five-

run first inning Saturday to secure a 13-2 run-rule victory against Austin Peay (6-7). The game was stopped after five innings with UNT up by more than eight runs.

In its second game of the day, UNT needed extra innings to beat Austin Peay, taking a 4-3 victory in eight innings. Sophomore infielder Brooke Foster scored the game’s winning run off an RBI by senior infielder Lisa Johnson, which catapulted the Mean Green into the championship game.

“I knew that I needed to do

something to pick up my team,” Foster said. “It made me feel a lot better about my hitting.”

SundayThe Mean

Green struggled offensively in the tournament championship against Tulsa, scoring its only run in the fourth inning off senior catcher Caitlin Grimes’ home run in the 6-1 loss. Tulsa answered immediately by scoring four runs in the bottom of the fourth.

“Confidence in each other really helped us out,” said sopho-more pitcher Lauren Poole, who picked up two wins in the tour-nament. “Knowing we know how to bounce back from all those errors and overcome made us a lot stronger.”

The road-tested Mean Green tennis team (9-5, 3-0) couldn’t overcome No. 30 Tulsa on Friday but rebounded to take down Kansas the following day.

UNT’s win Saturday handed the Jayhawks their first loss of the season.

“We played very well,” senior Paula Dinuta said. “Everybody played much better, everybody did their part, and we won.”

Caught in the HurricaneOn Friday, Tulsa (8-2)

extended its home win streak to 30 matches as they defeated the Mean Green 6-1.

After senior Irina Paraschiv and freshman Franziska Sprinkmeyer defeated their doubles opponents, the Golden Hurricane battled back to win the other two doubles matches to take the doubles point.

“We put ourselves in posi-tion to win the doubles point,” head coach Sujay Lama said. “We just let them back into the match, and when we lost doubles it was a tall task to win four singles matches against a team the caliber of Tulsa.”

Tulsa went on to win the next five matches before Dinuta defeated Tulsa senior Bonny Davidson 7-5, 7-6 to capture the lone Mean Green victory of the day.

“I’m happy that I won, but at the end of the day it

doesn’t matter. The most impor-tant thing is for the team to win,” Dinuta said.

Both senior Nadia Lee and freshman Kseniya Bardabush lost to nationally ranked oppo-nents No. 67 Samantha Vickers and No. 82 Anastasia Erofeeva, respectively. Vickers and Erofeeva grabbed two of Tulsa’s five single match victories over the Mean Green.

“We did our best, but they are a very good team. It was a very tough match,” Dinuta said. “It wasn’t a bad loss because they are a good team.”

Undefeated no moreUNT came out on f ire

Saturday as it swept doubles to begin the match with a 1-0

lead over the Jayhawks (7-1).Lee got things started in

singles as she defeated KU sophomore Paulina Los in straight sets.

Soon after, Dinuta captured her second win of the weekend as she defeated junior Victoria Khanevskaya 7-5, 6-2.

UNT went on to win three of the next four matches to seal the 6-1 victory, earning the first victory for any team against the Jayhawks this season.

“Overall I am very pleased with the way they performed,” Lama said. “Once we have consistency it’s going to put a tremendous amount of pressure on our opponents because we are such a deep, deep team.”

UNT should implement smoking ban

Should the A-train stop running on

Fridays?

“It shouldn’t. It’s the start of the weekend, and people will be coming and going from Denton. I would ride more

often if they had more times to choose from. ”

“It should. It would save money, and I don’t really use it. I don’t know anyone who uses it on

Friday, either. “

“It should keep running. We’re at a big commuter school, especially with the parking

being so bad, and with us trying to go green it would be the

antithesis to what we’re trying to do here.”

While ABC News reported last year that one-third of all college students smoke cigarettes, Web MD reported that one-fifth of all Americans smoke.

Right now there’s a higher concen-tration of smokers on college campuses than elsewhere, which could be why smoking on campuses has been the center of debate in Denton and across the country in recent months.

The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas has stepped into the debate, declaring that any university eligible to receive funding will lose that funding unless it prohibits smoking in and near any research building.

Last year, CPRIT awarded UNT

more than $200,000 in funding for prostate cancer research. Given the impact those contributions make to UNT’s long-term goal of “Tier One status,” it is the opinion of the Edboard that UNT should implement a smoking ban on its Denton campus.

Opposing CPRIT’s policy is under-standable. It is essentially forcing student bodies to legislate to a certain agenda through the use and allocation of funds, which at first glance sounds morally questionable. However, when one considers the impact that lobbies have on national government, it’s not that surprising that UNT is being forced into action through similar means. Those are just the rules of the

legislating game. This February, UNT unveiled its

four bold goals, one of which centered on making UNT a National Research Institution, also known as a Tier-One school. Annual research funding is heavily considered by The American Association of Universities and the Carnegie Foundation when deciding who qualifies for Tier One status.

The plan does not technically require a campus-wide smoking ban. However, mandating that areas adja-cent to research buildings be smoke-free would cut a swath through campus large enough that a campus-wide ban would almost be the same thing.

The UNT Health Science Center

in Fort Worth, recipient of more than $2 million from CPRIT, is already in compliance with the new policy. The Denton campus should take a cue from our neighbors to the south and comply with the policy as well.

Whether the ban will actually have an effect on the amount of smokers at UNT is suspect, but the benefits of becoming a National Research Institution are too numerous to allow complaints about having to walk 200 yards to halt progress.

If UNT truly believes in the goals it established earlier in the semester, then the smoking ban, while incon-venient and ill proposed, is a neces-sary step.

I’m going to assume you’ve seen the so-called Christian groups in the free speech zone next to the Union. They preach, carry signs and hand out flyers about the end of the world.

Yeah, those guys. Personally I think it’s a blast, and

if it were up to me, these protesters would have their own daily gig in the Union. Their rhetorical style, a potent mixture of impotent rage and oppres-sive volume, is just absurd enough to qualify as performance art. If they added a drum machine and some jumpsuits to their demonstrations, they’d probably inadvertently start a musical fad that would overtake Skrillex as the most irritating thing I’ve had to listen to this year.

But my reason for this piece does not directly concern them but rather a group who tends to follow in their wake: those who try to argue back. I know it takes guts to stand up to a loud and opinionated individual whose response to your disagreement will likely be ridicule, but instead I invite you to employ a radical new strategy!

Ignore them.Seriously. I know it’s really fun to

swagger up to them and throw out a zinger like, “Yo, guy, how does your all-powerful sky-wizard explain the theory of relativity?” then put on your shades and ride your motorcyle into the sunset, but you know what else is cool? Watching someone try to deliver a sermon to an audience that doesn’t exist.

I mean, that’s “Seinfeld” levels of funny. By engaging these people

in conversation, you’re sending a message that this campus really needs them here to address all the burning questions students have about why the entire LGBT commu-nity has a condo reserved in hell.

If you ever feel compelled to argue with these groups, I would encourage you to instead focus on improving the world around you to counteract the actions of those you disagree with.

You could open a door for an elderly person, pick up a coffee cup or toss a couple of bucks to your favorite charity. If you’re a Christian who finds that the preaching of these groups contradicts your faith, I encourage you to do the same. No matter what your personal beliefs, you will find that leading by example is the best way to reach others, and as a fringe benefit, it saves your vocal cords from years of abuse.

Personally, I’m still pushing for the drum machines.

Since January of this year, the Federal Communications Commission says it has seen a massive increase in complaints from cell phone users about unwanted third-party charges showing up on their bills. The cause of these charges stems from text message solicitations from fake phone numbers claiming that the user’s number has been “chosen” to receive a free reward of some kind. By replying in any way to these messages, the user lets the scammers know that their number is a valid number, and they become a prime target for these text message scams.

As cell phone carriers currently allow third-party charges, more and more pressure is on the FCC to make it more difficult for third parties to charge the accounts of cell phone users.

I personally have become victim to these text message scams. I recently started receiving messages from random phone numbers, always with out-of-state area codes, telling me that I had won a gift card to Walmart. The first one said I had won a $100 gift card and that all I had to do was call an 888 number to claim the card, or I could text the word “stop” to opt-out or unsubscribe. I texted “stop” and still receive these texts – always from a different number – at least twice a day. I just considered it annoying at first, but after a few days I decided I should look into it.

I read several reports of people being charged as much as $10 for responding in any way to these texts, so I imme-diately contacted my cellular provider. The good news was that there were no third-party charges to my account, and

they enabled a security feature to my number so these charges would not be authorized without my approval.

The bad news is that I am still getting these text messages. While it is comforting to know that my bill is no longer at risk of skyrocketing due to unwanted solicitations, it is annoying and also somewhat frightening to still receive multiple scam texts a day.

It seems that the best thing for all cell phone users to do in order to protect themselves from fraudulent third-party charges is to call their carriers and ask if there is a way to have them disabled. In order to keep from getting these scam messages in the first place, be wary of all online forms asking you to provide a telephone number in order to access anything.

The FCC should strictly regulate this type of scam messaging and take steps to protect cell phone users. Until then, I’ll be giving websites a fake number.

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
