Bar owner aims for ‘new experiences’

Along with the new tech-nology, students can sit in the sectioned-off spaces in the library that are surrounded by panels and whiteboards.

Student Response Bhatki Joshi, a psychology

s en ior, s a id s he enjoy s studying in the new library because it has a more modern feel and is more conducive to group study.

“I’ll come here over Willis any day,” she said.

The technology available

in the l ibrar y is normally thought to be available only to professors, Joshi said.

C h r i st i ne G on z a lez , a biology senior, said she also enjoys how easy it is to study w it h ot hers in t he Eag le Commons Library.

O’Toole said after the library reopened in February, it was quiet for about a week.

T h e n s t u d e nt s b e g a n coming in and discovered how comfortable it was to work there.

“We have lots to comments from students saying they like it and wish Willis was

“It’s a good thing for identi-fication,” said Gabbi Briones, a biology sophomore. “It’s something I would look into because it’s examining DNA on a molecular level, which is interesting.”

Briones said she thinks people shou ld t h i n k of biology also on the forensics level, not just on the biolog-ical and medical levels.

The Center for Human Ident i f icat ion sta r ted in 2004 with a grant from the attorney genera l’s of f ice, and it now receives grants from the National Institute of Justice, which allows the center to serve law enforce-ment agencies all over the country.

“One of our grants, called the DNA Technology Grant for Missing Persons, is what allows us to work with agen-cies all over the U.S. to make DNA prof i les about t he remains found, upload them to CODIS and run it against DNA from family members of missing people,” said Larose.

“The other grant, called the Back log Reduction Grant for forensic work allows us to offer free services in the state for cases from sexual assault to human identifi-cation.”

She said many cases like Jennings’ are from Texas and are solved under the backlog reduction grant. Other cases out of state from states like Ok la homa, Missouri and Sout h Da kota are solved under the DNA technology grant.

“We use the most advanced methods of DNA identifica-tion which are PCR, which stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, based testing and capillary electrophoresis,” she said.

PCR-based testing usually only requires small samples of the DNA because PCR itsel f increases t he DNA sample.

The capillary electropho-resis process separates the DNA in order to compare it to other samples of DNA, Larose said.

“Some of the cases we solve are cold cases, which means the case happened severa l yea rs ago,” sa id La rose. “Some a re 20-30 years old from when DNA testing could not be done.”

In 2010, they solved 17 cold cases, she said.

“Ma ny t i mes, we w i l l solve cases decades after the missing persons report i s f i le d,” s a id Spa mer. “It’s never too late to find answers.”

He said in the past they sent out more seeds than they received.

“We became more of a seed provider,” Veteto said, adding that the goal of the project is to help seed savers across the south.

The project has traced the history behind the seeds.

“We found seeds that are linked back to the Trail of Tears in Oklahoma,” Veteto said. “We’ve traced black eyed peas through the African Slave Trade.”

But the lab isn’t just about seeds, it’s about education. He said other professors’ work would be featured.

One such professor is Pankaj Jain of the anthropolog y faculty.

Jain studies the ecological factors of communities focused on Hinduism and Jainism.

“In these kinds of communi-ties, nature worshiping is prom-inent,” Jain said. “I looked at how that affects the environ-ment.”

Jain said his work would be done on a computer software platform that he works on with

Veteto and other members of the anthropology and geog-raphy faculties.

The product will look like Google Earth, allowing the user to look at the environment all over the world and learn about the communities there.

“It is to educate everyone about environmental issues in the world,” Jain said.

The project is still in its plan-ning stages.

“Soon it will be ready,” he said.

Jain expects the interac-tive map to be active by next fall.

Anthropolgy to preserve seeds

Covered in art from top to bottom, a once high-end restaurant has been taken over by a young eclectic group of entrepreneurs looking to provide Denton with a new experience.

The Simone Lounge, at 222 W. Hickory St., will open its doors in a few weeks, exposing t he restau ra nt-ba r-music venue-gallery-lounge to Denton residents for the first time.

“We’re shooting for t he college crowd that are tired of college bars,” said owner Sebastian Urschel.

Moving inDuring a few soft openings,

the lounge opened up to its new neighbors and a few Fry Street bar owners who made the trip to check out the new business.

Some were unfriendly to the newcomers, but established bars like Andy’s and Lucky Lou’s have been supportive, said bar and entertainment manager Melanie Muñoz.

The lounge will be open during t y pica l restaura nt hours, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., ser ving lunch and dinner, and wil l stay open until 2 a.m. serving drinks and appe-tizers.

“Our appetizers are going to be very filling, and everything on our menu with be health-conscious,” Urschel said.

The current location of the lounge wasn’t their first choice.

The original location was a larger place with a mezza-nine around the stage, but the building was sold to a private investor who wanted to use it

for a house, Urschel said.The second location was on

the corner of Fry and Hickory streets at the now-vacant Coffee and Yogurt Creations shop connected to Crooked Crust Pizza, but Urschel said the property owner didn’t believe it was the right spot for the dive whiskey bar they had planned.

The lounge in now in the third location, and even though it wasn’t their f irst choice, Urschel said the staff members are making it their own.

FurbishingThe crew needed just two

weeks to finish decorating and remodeling. Of course, Urschel said, they worked everyday, all day, from 9 a.m. to midnight.

“We didn’t hire anybody for the labor — we did it all,” said Stephanie Zapien, an English freshman who works at the lounge.

They said they hope it will

Continued from Page 1

give everybody involved a sense of pride and attachment to the business.

“Ever y body c a res a nd wants to see this place do well, because they have a little bit invested,” said head bartender and UNT alumnus Jason Vincent.

The owner plans on using loca l a r t work, which w i l l rotate in and out after a few weeks to keep the restaurant looking new and distinctive.

“I’m looking forward to the different art,” Urschel said. “Although, like most places, we’re not going to charge them half their profits to sell their artwork for them. That’s ridiculous.”

During the soft opening, the restaurant held an art show displaying work on the walls around the entire restaurant, with the winner receiving a $1,000 grand prize.

“We’re tr y ing to keep it nice, instead of Miller High Life neon signs everywhere. We want to bring in art and have loca l a r t ists display their stuff, but at the same time not be pretentious and uncomfortable for people,” Vincent said. “We want it to be a different experience.”

A grand opening is coming in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, the Simone Lounge will have soft openings on Fridays and Saturdays.

Today, UNT will host a work-shop to teach students, faculty and staff about using social networks.

The workshop “Friend or Foe?” will start at 10:30 a.m. in Marquis Hall 118 and show the consequences of postings online and provide tips on how to be careful with posts, said Amber Hallberg, a UNT human resources represen-tative.

“Socia l net work ing is a tool that a lot of people don’t realize can be used for busi-ness and personal use,” she said. “We want to make sure that employees are aware of some of the ramifications if they use social networking sites for personal use, and be aware of things that can get you in trouble and making sure individuals are using it appropriately.”

Maja Nalzaro, an interna-tional studies senior, works at the UNT Bookstore and said regardless if she has a job, she is always careful of what she posts on Facebook.

“I don’t want people to judge me based on what I post there. I just use it to keep connected with friends,” she said.

Ha l lb er g s a id e v en i f students don’t have a job now, they should be careful on what they post because future employers could even-tually see it.

“They need to be aware that what they post can be tracked,

and if [students are] applying for a new job, [it] can have serious ramifications and cost you a job,” she said.

Nalzaro said she thinks ma ny people don’t t h in k before they post and could benefit from the workshop.

“I see a lot of people who post some really inappropriate statuses and sometimes even pictures,” she said. “I make sure I don’t post anything I wouldn’t want my family to see, because I wouldn’t want

people to have a bad image of me.”

Hallberg said in addition

to teaching employers what to be wary about online, the workshop will also discuss the highlights of social networking sites.

“[Socia l net work ing] is so relative this day and age that it can highlight different ways for dif ferent depart-ments on campus to use social networking to their advantage by advertising their activities, conferences and events,” she said.

This summer, more than 60 UNT students will attend a six-day intensive program called LeaderShape, which will use team-building activities to teach leadership skills.

The program will be held at the Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center May 15 to May 20, and various UNT sponsors will pay for the expenses.

“I ’m e x c it e d a bout connecting with people who are a lot like me,” said Lehia Hill, a social work junior and the vice-president for the UNT Nonprofit Leadership Student Association.

She said she heard about the opportunity through her advisers and thought it was a good chance to enhance her leadership skills.

The application for a spot in the program required personal essays and proving leadership involvement on campus.

Hill said she doesn’t know the itinerary yet, but she said she is going to the intense program w ith an open mind.

“Everyone has to be a leader at some point in his or her life-time,” she said. “Even if they don’t realize it at the time.”

Many universities will send students to the program, and UNT is always on the lookout for how to enhance its student leaders, said Kirsten Bishop, the leadership coordinator in the Center for Leadership and Service and public adminis-tration graduate student.

Si mon sa id she hope s L e a d e r S h a p e h e l p s t h e students learn more about their own leadership abili-t ies so t hat t heir roles in the community can become stronger.

Since LeaderShape is one

of the biggest programs of its kind in the nation, the Center for Leadership & Service is excited to see how UNT’s first year participating will turn out, she said.

“The program really helped me to de-construct all those false perceptions about lead-ership that get in the way of achiev ing my goa ls,” sa id Zoe Spangler, a radio, tele-vision and film senior who attended a national session of LeaderShape last yea r. “LeaderShape showed me that I can be a better leader if I truly lead by example.”

She said there were themes for each day of the program that focused on topics such as interpersonal ef fective-ness, l iv ing w ith integrit y and setting goals for realistic results.

Spangler said LeaderShape helpe d her ident i f y t he different types of leadership styles and how she should realistically adapt to them.

Sit t i ng beh i nd pi les of stacked paper work seems rout ine for a depa r t ment chair at UNT, but for the last 10 years, dignified feminist chanting has encompassed Lea Dopson.

Since 2001, Dopson has been involved with the Vagina Monologues at UNT, and over the years has spent time as a performer, behind the scenes assistant and role model for young and mature feminists alike.

“I’ve seen it develop from its infancy to where it is now. It has really evolved over the years,” she said. “We’ve had students, women from Denton and Fort Worth, and women from TWU.”

Interacting with studentsBeing involved with the play

for many years, Dopson has bonded with several people.

“I’ve been able to meet over 500 dif ferent women over the last 10 years who have participated in V-Day and the Monologues specifically,” she said. “It’s been quite a variety of people.”

All the work dedicated to the feminist movement culmi-nates for V-Day, a global move-ment to end violence against women and girls.

Dopson said she has seen many people take part in the Monologues at UNT, and the important t ime they spent w ith the performance has contributed to their aware-ness of women’s issues.

“The t h ings t hat rea l ly stand out mostly in my mind are watching young women become feminists,” she said.

Balancing dutiesDopson sa id t he V-Day

movement h a s kept her coming back.

Juggling the responsibili-ties as the hospitality manage-ment department chair, being

a member of the play and having a personal life, Dopson has handled everything like a true professional.

As chair, her duties include being in charge of faculty, curriculum, students, sched-uling, courses and labora-tory work.

Though this was her last year performing in the play, Dopson isn’t necessa r i ly finished with it.

“I’m not stopping. I plan to continue to be involved in the movement and I plan to continue supporting the Vag ina Monolog ues,” she said. “Just performing in the play itself I’m not going to do anymore, because I just t hink I can contribute in other ways.”

The UNT men’s golf team maintained its second place position on the second day of act ion in t he Sun Belt Conference Championship Tuesday at Muscle Shoals, Ala.

After endeding Day 1 in second place, t hree shots behind f irst-place Denver, the No.38-ranked Mean Green finished Day 2 with a score of 2-over-par 290 and four strokes behind the Pioneers.

Sophomore Carlos Ortiz continued his strong play on Day 2, shooting a 4-under-par 68 to move into first place. Ortiz sits atop the leader-board with a one-stroke lead over Louisiana Monroe’s Nick Wilson.

Last year’s conference cham-pion South Alabama is tied with No. 40 Middle Tennessee State for sixth.

Three other Mean Green golfers finished the day in the Top 25.

While most of the UNT sports fan base paid attention to the Mean Green’s Division I teams last spring, a club on campus advanced to the playoffs for the first time in its history.

The women’s lacrosse club’s 16 members led the team to a 5-4 record and it advanced to the Texas Women’s Lacrosse League championships for the first time since its start in 2003.

The season ended after UNT fell to the Oklahoma Sooners 12-10, despite owning an early lead.

“We were so close to beating OU in our last game,” said senior captain Lindsey Cochran. “But we did great and I’m proud of all of the girls for doing so amazing that we actually got to go show what we are made of this year.”

Practices for the squad are held three times per week Monday through Wednesday, with an optional captain’s practice Sunday.

The team’s funding come from UNT Recreational Sports and dues the players pay to be part of the team.

Club qualifies for playoffsyears at Colleyville Heritage High School before joining the team this season.

“Well, I got cut from my high school basketball team,” she said. “I saw lacrosse on TV one day and said, ‘That looks like an amazing sport,’ and I joined it.”

Being on the team means more than competing on the field, as most of the players spend their free time together.

“We definitely hang out together off the field,” said TAMS junior Amanda Quay. “We’re always hanging out and all the people on the team are so sweet.”

Juniors goalie Julie Kavanagh and Kayla Morain will become the team’s co-captains after Cochran and senior captain Tara Owens graduate.

Kavanagh is the key to the Mean Green’s defense effort, acting as UNT’s only goalie.

“She’s a beast,” Quay said. “It’s a little scary. She’s had lots of great saves this year.”

After last season’s trip to the playoffs, Kavanagh said the team expects to improve next year.

“Our goal is to just be better and we know we can do it now,” said Kavanagh. “Maybe we’ll practice more to ensure another trip to the playoffs.”

Mean Green still in secondBrief

The UNT softball team’s doubleheader against Stephen F. Aust in today has been canceled because of wet field conditions.

With five games left before t he Su n B elt Conference Tournament, the team has dropped eight of its last eleven games and ranks ninth in the Sun Belt.

“[The season] has definitely not been as good as we planned,” said head coach T.J. Hubbard. “We’ve had some bumps in the road, but they’ve pushed through it.”

The Mean Green will need to make up ground to compete in the tournament, as only the top eight teams in the conference qualify.

UNT is one game behind eighth place Middle Tennessee, which owns the tiebreaker over

in a three-way tie for 22nd after shooting a 2-over-par 74.

Junior Josh Jones shot a 6-over-par to finish the second round in a four-way tie for 25th.

Martinez rewrites the UNT record booksBy BoBBy lewisSenior Staff Writer

W hen she graduates in May, senior outfielder Mariza Martinez’s name will be all over the UNT softball record books.

Martinez holds the career stolen base record at UNT with 33 swiped bags. She ranks second in career home runs, batting average and total bases, and third in career runs batted in and hits.

Martinez continued her onslaught of UNT records last week by crossing home plate for the 123rd time, the most in school history.

“I’m trying to get as many [records] as I can,” Martinez said. “I want to leave with as many as I can and see if people can try to beat that.”

Beating her brothersCompetitiveness has been

a trademark of Martinez’s personality for as long as she can remember. A lot of it, she said, comes from her older brothers Michael and Matthew, who were the reason she got into softball.

“Being raised with two boys, I’m a little tougher than most, and I know that’s where I get my personality and attitude from, of course, because they

sure weren’t easy with me growing up,” she said.

Ma r t i nez would go to her brothers’ b a s e b a l l games when s h e w a s younger and decided she wanted to play and become a better player than both of them.

“Their relationship with each other is still competitive,” said her mother Nancy Martinez. “Because she actually got into softball, because she wanted to do it better than them, so yeah, it’s still competitive.”

In the classroomMariza Martinez has also

excelled off the field, being named to the Dean’s List enough times for her to forget how many times she’s been on it.

“It is difficult,” she said of keeping up her grades during the season. “In the fall, you have more time to get to the library, go work with groups and everything else. During the spring, you have to be really organized and plan. Planners are awesome in college.”

The marketing major has

been named to the Dean’s List during her freshman through junior years at UNT.

“She’s done a lot better than I expected,” said her father Louis Martinez. “For her to make the Dean’s List, that’s really good and that’s really important.”

On the fieldWith only five games left in

her collegiate career, there isn’t much left for Mariza Martinez to accomplish — except for one postseason honor.

“She’s an outstanding player,” said head coach T.J. Hubbard. “I think the only thing left for her would be for her to get first-team All-Sun Belt.”

She has been named to the second-team All-Sun Belt each of the last two years.

In each of those final five games, she’ll put her eye black on to resemble a heart beat on an heart monitor, something she’s done for more than two years.

“It represents that I’ll never die,” Martinez said. “No matter what happens — if I strike out, if I drop a ball, if I make an error — you can’t keep me down, which is the concept behind the eye black.”

W he n compa r i ng pla t -forms, it’s easier to see Monica Saunders and I not only have a vision for SGA, but also a path to see this vision spring to life.

We a re focused toward student-centered goals, and we want to be open-minded and neutral when representing the entire diverse student body.

Although Monica and I are

passionate visionaries, we are still realistic about the limi-tations of office. We will not promise anything we cannot achieve.

We know that trust cannot be re-established overnight. I hope we will be given the chance to prove to students, through our integrity and positive reputa-tion on campus, that they can depend on us. We have their best interests at the forefront of our minds.

Both Monica and I have a strong desire to help students be successful. Students and staff alike have acknowledged that we are servant leaders who desire to lead by example.

Neither one of us is afraid to admit our faults in a personal or professional capacity.

When looking for someone to run with me as my vice presi-dent, I wanted to find someone who balanced me.

While I see the big picture, Monica is more detail-or i-ented. Both strong communi-cators, I find it easy to address large audiences, and Monica is

extremely personable on a one-on-one basis.

I have worked as a part of the Executive Board, while Monica has had experience in the Freshman Intern Program as well as the Student Senate. I am constantly amazed with the standard of her work and the grace with which she executes it.

One of Monica’s greatest strengths is empathy. She is a calming inf luence, and she mediates and diffuses conf lict well. This is impor tant, as conf lict may arise within the organ izat ion and bet ween students and SGA.

Monica and I are artistic, and this transfers into our creative thinking st rategies. We are fresh and want to create the most positive office on campus, where students feel welcomed and appreciated. We want to hire a staff that is as diverse as the student body is, and as diligent as we are.

We are an approachable pair, and we want students to feel comfortable enough to share their opinions with us.

We would be incredibly enthusiastic to lead the student body, but our main concern is that the students elect who they want to lead them. However, I believe Monica and I not only have the qualifications, but also the right attitude and the devo-tion to students that it takes to lead a student body.

No matter what the outcome of the election, Monica and I will continue to work for students in whatever ways we can.

For us, it’s not about the title, but the opportunity to be repre-sentatives of students’ opin-ions.

Kellie Hill is an advertising junior and an SGA presidential candidate. She can be reached at [email protected].

When Edwin Chavez and I decided to run for vice pres-ident and president, we felt it was imperative to run with a constant focus on the interests of students, from freshmen to doctoral students.

To this day, we have kept the promise of promoting the causes of students while maintaining a sense of integrity, profession-alism and respectfulness. If the

students choose to elect us as their student representatives for the 2011-2012 year, we will tire-lessly and endlessly work to make the university experience a more positive one for all students.

First, we feel like Homecoming is an issue of tradition and such tradition needs to be given great consideration. However, we are charged to uphold the will of the students and if students decide to alter the rules, we will honor their wishes.

We do not desire to continue entertaining an issue that has been decided multiple times.

In the fall of 2009, students voted overwhelmingly that Homecoming needed to remain the same, and we will vigorously defend the will of students.

The way t he Student Government Association handles students’ money is a big issue facing the next administration.

This year, some concerns over how some money was spent caused a controversy within the SGA, and we will alleviate such unease by being a transparent and open administration.

Each penny spent by our administration will be posted

online for all to see and examine. When student service fees provide $160,000 a year to our organiza-tion, there should be no question that budget accountability will be a top priority.

If any of our financial deal-ings are questionable, we fully encourage students to approach us and hold us liable.

Textbooks are an expensive component of a college educa-tion, and although the Texas Legislature will be out of session, we will maintain an open dialogue and line of communication with our representatives to further promote the idea that educational materials do not need to be taxed. It is our firm belief this could save students $400 to $500 throughout an undergraduate career.

One of the most effective ways to achieve the goals of students is to have leaders that maintain a positive working relationship with university officials and those in the administration. Our ability to approach such officials with ease and professionalism gives us an advantage in tackling real student concerns.

Additionally, as the Student Government Association is the official student voice of UNT, we will require all parties associ-ated with us to be people of the utmost character. High stan-dards of academics, reliability and morality will guide the deci-sions we make as an adminis-tration.

Edwin and I have a deep love for this university, and that will be ever apparent in how we approach the responsibilities of our office.

We promise that if you provide us one minute of your time, we will give you one year of ours.

Note to Our Readers

NT Daily Editorial Board

Nods and ShakesEditorial

Nod: UNT’s bee relocation is goodThe verdict is in for the UNT bees, and the Editorial

Board is pleased.Instead of leaving the bees that live inside the exterior of

the Radio, Television, Film and Performing Arts Building there or killing them, UNT officials decided to move them to a local farm.

The Board appreciates the compromise. On one hand, it saves the bees’ lives, which are important because of the role they play in pollination. On the other hand, it eliminates the threat they pose to people on campus.

Let’s just hope it’s not the farm where all pets go.

Shake: Apple takes brand protection a bit too farApple is suing Amazon and Microsoft using two little

words: “app store.”Both companies have created application stores and called

them app stores, which Apple feels is a name it controls. The Board would understand Apple’s side if the term was

more specific to the company’s brand. With items labeled with an i- or computers with that contain “Mac” in the name, it’s pretty clear to see what is an Apple product.

Apple shouldn’t be able to own “app store” any more than Walmart can own the terms “market” or “supermarket.”

Nod: FDA decides to regulate electronic cigarettesE-cigarettes won’t be able to avoid strict regulation for

long.The Federal Drug Administration announced plans to

change the guidelines for the battery-operated devices. Some of those changes include registration, ingredient listing, premarket review and good manufacturing practice requirements.

Because electronic cigarettes contain nicotine from tobacco, they can still create a health risk for their users.

The Editorial Board thinks the change will help protect people who are trying to make a smarter choice about smoking or quitting all together.

Shake: PlayStation Network customers’ information is compromised

Sony said some personal information for the PlayStation Network was stolen — about a week after it happened.

Because it took so long to make the announcement, the Board wonders how it took a week to realize the breach had occurred and whether credit card information was lost. The company’s blog said Tuesday it isn’t sure whether the finan-cial data was taken.

It’s good Sony took a week to realize it was exposed people to identity fraud danger as opposed to the year it took the Texas comptroller’s office.

However, taking a week is still unacceptable.

“High standards of academics,

reliability and morality

will guide the decisions

we make.”

“Students and staff alike have acknowledged

that we are servant leaders

who desire to lead by example.”

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
