“Well, I’m a Texan through and through,” Lively said. “The people are entrepre-neurial, bold, s o m e t i m e s crazy, but all-around good

people. There’s nowhere I’d rather be.”

Frequently described as a workaholic, he earned schol-arships and worked menial jobs to put himself through Southern Methodist University.

Lively, a trumpet player and avid music-lover, earned a bach-elor’s degree from SMU in music in 1965 and a master’s degree in music education from UNT in 1970.

He was a band director for the Dallas Independent School District and then spent 25 years working at SMU, first as a music and band director before moving on to administrative and fund-raising duties.

Lively said he met with UNT President V. Lane Rawlins and Chancellor Lee Jackson and saw an opportunity to help his alma mater.

Season’s top test awaits UNT

Cancer incidence rate rises for Denton

Local 7-Eleven posts photos, mocks thieves

UNT alum brings fundraising talent back to Denton

Denton P.D. names new police chief

With every customer who steps foot into the 7-Eleven on West Oak Street, the omni-scient eye of t he securit y camera follows their ever y move. Whether they know it or not, they’re being watched.

This particular 7-Eleven has found a new way of preventing theft. Starting in November of last year, owner Chiy Lam and staff began posting chronolog-ical photos of people stealing. The staff writes witty captions in an attempt to embarrass t he t h ieves a nd decrease theft. The images were taken frame by frame from security cameras after the crimes were committed.

“We put it out to let people know ‘Hey, maybe you’re on ca mera,’” La m sa id. “The camera is here for security,

In Denton County and five surrounding counties, breast cancer incidence is on the rise, leading to studies being done to determine the reason for the spike.

The rise in breast cancer rates is occurr ing in t he Barnett Sha le area where natural gas drilling is going on, affecting the “core coun-t ies” of Denton, Johnson, Tarrant and Wise, according to the Railroad Commission of Texas website.

According to t he Texas Cancer Registry, the average of all six counties’ breast cancer incidence rate has risen from

58.7 cases per 100,000 people in 2005 to about 60.7 per 100,000 in 2008.

The possible link between

carcinogens leaked into the air from drilling and the rise in cancer rates has led to several studies being done in the Dallas Fort-Worth area.

“ We w e r e lo ok i n g a t a nu mber of t h i ngs l i ke benzene and its effects on cancer levels,” said Chris Van Deusen, assistant press officer for the Texas Department o f S t a t e H e a l t h S e r vices. “We did not find anything outside of what you would expect.”

Last month the UNT System announced the creation of a new position to be filled by UNT alumnus Bill Lively.

Lively began his job as vice chancellor of strategic partnerships Sept. 7. The position exists primarily to assist and coordinate UNT’s fundraising efforts, which have seen an unprecedented amount of success in recent months, raising about $52 million for the university over the summer.

“My experience at UNT was profoundly impactful to me,” Lively said. “It gave me a lot of confidence. I saw a chance to return some of what UNT did for me.”

Lively is well known in North Texas as the presi-dent and CEO of the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee and his integral role in raising about $338 million for the construction of the AT&T Performing Arts Center.

Lively was raised in Oak Cliff and has spent most of his life living and working in North Texas.

STAFF REPORTS

After evaluating five poten-tial candidates from across the country, the city of Denton announced Thursday after-noon that Denton County Chief Deputy Sheriff Warren Lee Howell was chosen as the Denton Police Department’s new chief of police.

According to a press release issued by the city Thursday, Denton City Manager George Campbell announced that Howell will begin working for Denton P.D. Oct. 21.

Howell has worked in law enforcement for more than 30 years and first worked for the Denton P.D. in 1981 and achieved the rank of captain before leaving in 2004 to work for the county.

“I am proud to have been selected to lead an organiza-tion like the Denton Police Department, which has a long tradition of being one of the most professional and innovative law enforcement agencies in the country,” Howell said in the press release.

Howell is a UNT alumnus

with a bachelor’s degree in applied arts and sciences and is a lso a member of t he Denton Cha mber of Commerce. Howell was also a finalist for the position in 2007 when the city hired Roy Minter as chief of police.

M i n t e r r e s i g n e d i n February after accepting the position of police chief for Peoria, Ariz. Paul Abbott, a retired Denton P.D. captain, has served as interim police chief since Minter announced his resignation.

The challenge the UNT foot-ball team will face this weekend becomes clear when looking to college football spreads: the Mean Green’s opponent Alabama is favored by 47 points.

UNT will undergo its biggest test of of the season against the No.2 Crimson Tide (2-0) at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

“What you see is a team

[Alabama] that plays with unbe-lievable relentless effort and plays with such confidence,” McCarney said. “We all know that there’s going to be a lot of those guys at Alabama in the starting lineup that will play in the NFL.”

Win or lose, UNT has some-thing to gain from the game, as its athletic department announced Alabama will pay UNT $750,000 for facing them

in case there’s a burglary or f ire, but sometimes we see something funny and decide to post it on the window.”

A series of photos reveals a man and woman taking

bott les of water and other items. It includes a photo showing the woman slipping them into her purse, believing she isn’t seen, and a sarcastic caption explaining what the

“We were looking at a number of things like benzene and its

effects on cancer levels.”-Chris Van Deusen

Assistant press officer for the Texas Department of State Health Services

pair is doing. Another photo is of a man trying to hide a candy bar in the back of his pants, which yielded an even more sardonic caption.

After seeing theft become a habit for some, Lam wanted to remind people that stealing is not only immoral, but illegal as well. Rather than slapping on the cuffs, Lam decided a slap on the w rist would suffice.

“We try to let them know ‘Do the right thing,’” Lam said. “If you really need something, I can help you out, but don’t steal. It becomes a hobby for some people and if you get caught stealing, you can screw up your life. Instead of calling the cops and getting them in big trouble, we thought posting pictures may prevent re-offenders.”

Jer r y Hol b er t , e x e c u-t ive director of t he UNT Fou ndat ion, a nonprof it corporat ion that oversees donations made to the UNT System, said Lively’s rea l benefit would be his breadth of experience.

“He has people in Dallas on speed dial who don’t even know of UNT,” Holbert said. “He can introduce a broader group of people to the univer-

sit y a nd Nor t h Tex a s i n general.”

Holbert said Lively was a potential “game changer” for the university.

“He gets it when it comes to what it takes to move a school to the next level in terms of phi lant hropic donations,” Holbert said.

Lively praised the work a lready done by Rawlins, t he UNT Foundation a nd

members of UNT’s Office of Development.

UNT is at a “moment in time,” Lively said, to lay a foundation for future genera-tions to build on.

Lively said he would be on the UNT campus in Denton about three or four days a week and said he would enjoy being at a university again.

“Our countr y’s greatest asset is our youth, and they depend on higher educa-tion,” Lively said. “UNT is embracing its mission in higher education.”

Though some of t he stories are humorous and tease the thieves, the photo tactic is just for security purposes. According to the Denton Police Department, not only the police, but also citizens share responsi-bility in preventing crime in the community as well.

“Only 1 or 2 percent of customers steal,” Lam said. “Some customers say they like the photos because they hate to see theft. [The customers] are actually the ones who inform us of the incidents after they occur.”

The staff has noticed that customers have responded to the photos. Some have stood at t he w i ndow, reading the captions and reacting to the pictures for several minutes.

“It’s a very good idea,” customer Lance Baldwin s a i d . “ P e o p l e r e a l l y shouldn’t steal. I just moved here from Illinois and I’ve never seen anything like that before. It seems to be effective.”

Employees have tried ot her met hods to stop theft, including in one case chasing a thief down the block. However, they have found the posted photos to be most effective. Cashier Ash Davis has witnessed how this exposure affects thieves.

“It’s embarrassing to have your picture up there,” Davis said. “People come back and ask if we’ll take down their picture if they pay for what they took. Ultimately, I believe it’s a good theft deterrent.”

Because of an increased rate of leukemia in Flower Mound, the department conducted an investigation of “Specific Cancer Occurrences” in the city.

According to the study report updated March 30, the depart-ment could not determine with any degree of certainty why the number of breast cancer cases is higher than expected in these areas, but the increase is likely explained by the rapid growth of the Flower Mound population.

With no scientific data yet confirmed, the exact reason for the increase in incidence is not yet known.

“We’ve seen an increase in breast cancer patients and lung cancer patients in probably the last year,” said Jessica Emerson, chief radiation therapist at the Denton Cancer Center.

The average age of those

diagnosed is 30 to 45 years old, Emerson said. Though this age group is much younger than what she is used to diagnosing, Emerson said it may be due to growing awareness among the younger generation.

“There’s about a 25 percent increase in breast cancer [diag-nosis], and about a 40 percent increase in lung cancer,” she said.

Because of r ising local concern, Denton will host its first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Sept. 24. Zeta Tau Alpha, which promotes breast cancer awareness as its philan-thropy, will have a booth at the event.

“Zeta sponsors the survivor tent, which will give out pins for racers to put on their shirts,” said Tessa Kus, pres-ident of Zeta Tau Alpha at UNT. “On one side of the pin you can write down someone

you lost to cancer and on the other someone you know who survived.”

A l l 86 members of the

sorority, including new pledges, have signed up to volunteer, though Kus said the race still needs 500 volunteers.

Supercommittee’s fundraisers upset constituentsWASHINGTON, (D.C.) — Hours after convening the first working meeting of Congress’ “super-committee” Tuesday, committee co-chair Sen. Patty Murray of Washington state had another engagement: She hosted a $1,000-per-ticket fundraiser at the fall reception of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, raising money for her party’s 2012 Senate candidates.

Two ot her Republica n members of the debt-reduction panel held fundraisers the same night, giving lobbyists and influ-ence peddlers an opportunity to mingle with them: Sen. Rob Portman hosted a reception for fellow Ohioan Republican

Rep. Steve Chabot, and Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona hosted one for Republican Sen. Roger Wicker, his Mississippi counterpart.

Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina had the busiest week of any supercommittee member, with five fundraisers scheduled over four days.

Despite growing calls for the 12 committee members to stop raising money until they conclude their task of cutting $1.2 trillion from the federal budget, most are adhering to the time-honored tradition of mixing their politics with plenty of cash.

At least nine of them, five Democrats and four Republicans, have held or scheduled 21 fund-

raisers since getting named to the committee last month, according to the Sunlight Foundation, a Washington-based organiza-tion that tracks the influence of money in politics.

To be sure, no one’s accusing members of any wrongdoing. Fundraising has long been considered part of the job, and the Supreme Court in recent years has loosened limits on corporate political contribu-tions, defending them as expres-sions of free speech protected by the Constitution’s First Amendment.

In Congress, legislative attempts to institute taxpayer financing of congressional elec-

tions have failed to gain trac-tion, and opinion polls find that most Americans oppose the idea anyway. But critics say that by raising money while they’re doing such high-profile work, super-committee members are doing nothing to instill confidence in Congress, which already is facing record low public approval.

The spotlight has been partic-ularly intense on the supercom-mittee, which by design has much more clout than most congres-sional panels do. It could set spending levels for hundreds of federal projects extended over 10 years.

Nick Nyhart, the president and chief executive officer of Public

Campaign, a national nonprofit group that focuses on special-interest money in politics, said the committee members could send a “clear signal” that their recommendations would be made without the undue influ-ence of big-money interests by suspending all fundraising for the next two months.

The supercommittee, known officially as the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, has until Nov. 23 to make its recommendations.

Nyhart said the 94 senators and 429 members of the House of Representatives who weren’t on the committee could pick up any fundraising slack.

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

Before eating their entrees, Rooster’s Roadhouse customers can dig into crispy fried pickles, okra, pulled pork nachos or other appetizers.

Ashley-CrystAl FirstleySenior Staff Writer

Industrial Street is giving Fry Street a run for its money. While Fry Street’s scene is lively and conve-nient for students, Industrial has something that Fry lacks: Rooster’s Roadhouse – among the best barbecue restaurants in Denton.

Located between Dan’s Silverleaf and Fuzzy’s Tacos, Rooster’s isn’t the typical sit-and-dine barbecue joint. As expected with a barbecue-joint, worn-out menus and rolls of paper towels sit on wooden picnic tables (without plastic table cloths) in the dining room. The other half of Rooster’s is the bar stocked with more than 30 domestic and import beers. Every day, there’s a bar special.

The empty peanut shells that litter the floor are commonplace. What are not normal are the Christmas tree, lawnmower and motorcycle that hang from the ceiling along-side a chandelier made of beer-tap handles. My eyes wandered from one side of the restaurant to the other from walls decorated with sports memorabilia to photos and neon beer signs to the marker graffiti that management does not discourage.

Patrons have the option of either sitting at a cushioned booth or table. Within two minutes, a server greeted me but wasn’t as energetic as I expected in the creative atmosphere, but got the job done and knew the food well enough to answer ques-tions and suggest menu items.

There are more than 30 menu choices consisting of appetizers, salads, flattop baskets (burgers and

sandwiches), pit barbecue baskets and dinner-plates – all offered at reasonable prices.

The crispy fried pickles ($4.49) were a great choice to begin my meal. Served on a silver plate, the appetizer came out hot. The salt seasoning the appetizer blended well with the sour pickles.

For dinner, patrons can start with something as easy as a basic cheese-burger ($4.95). The 100 percent ground-beef burger is full of flavor, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I added barbecue sauce to spice up the taste and had the best burger I’ve ever eaten.

My barbecue favorite, the pulled pork sandwich ($6.25), had succu-lent meat packed between two slices of Texas toast. The red onion marmalade adds sweetness to the sandwich, which is something I’d never had, but the combination works well together. There isn’t a lot of seasoning, but it’s juicy and had my mouth watering before every bite.

All burgers and sand-wiches are served with homemade crispy potato chips, which may be too crispy depending on preference and can be switched with fries, okra, vegetables or tater tots.

If there is room for dessert, I suggest ordering some. Your home-style choices are the chocolate chip brownie, banana pudding, bread pudding, peanut brittle and blueberry cobbler, though the menu varies during the week. The interesting part of the desserts is that they’re baked inside about a 3-inch-tall glass jars. The chocolate

chip brownie is served warm and topped with whipped cream and a couple of chocolate chips. It will definitely satisfy any sweet tooth.

Rooster’s is a place for good barbecue in an amusing atmosphere – an experience few other barbecue joints can reflect.

One person’s cache is another’s treasure

Criminal justice senior Grant Brill unravels the scroll found in a geocache the size of a small battery. Some geocaches offer adventurers just the scroll to jot their name down while many others offer a swapping system. The swapping system can consist of anything from small action figures to gift cards and kaleidoscopes.

Jones, Brill, a criminal justice senior, may be led over mountains or through dense brush and trees as he follows the computer screen on his tracking monitor. There’s no gold or silver at the end of Brill’s adventure though – he’s searching for something a little less shiny: a geocache.

Geocaches are generally filled

with various items such as notes, trinkets, toys and a logbook.

Brill, like many geocachers, finds the coordinates on the website, geocaching.com. The site is the hub of the game played by millions across the globe. When a geocacher hides a cache, they record the coordinates of the location to the website.

Once at the location, though,

cachers are not finished. Typically, geocaches are hidden out of sight so a search is necessary to find the container hidden there. Brill said his biggest caching challenge so far was a geocache hidden 50 feet high in a tree at Bonham State Park.

“I mean, it’s way up there and is kind of probably dangerous to get to, and you have to climb up on all the

branches to get to it,” he said.When geocachers find a container,

they’re welcome to take an item from the box as a keepsake, sign a logbook or add something of their own before returning the geocache to its original location.

“You know that compass from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ that would point you where you wanted to go?”

Brill said. “[Geocaching] is kind of like that, in that you have a little device that is telling you where to go, but once you get there it’s a little bit of a hunt.”

Geocaching began in 2000 when the government removed selec-tive availability from civilian GPS systems, according to geocaching.com.

Basically, before May 1, 2000, only the military had access to extremely accurate GPS signals. After selec-tive availability was removed, GPS enthusiasts began thinking of ways the new technology could be used.

On May 3, 2000, Dave Ulmer hid the world’s first geocache and posted the coordinates online so that people

could try and find it.There are more than 5 million

geocachers worldwide who search for the more than one and a half million geocaches, according to geocaching.com.

Brill has even found one on the top of Mount Diamond Head in Hawaii.

However, not all caches are so difficult.

“I used to tutor an autistic kid, and we would work on social skills and things like that and I actually used to take him geocaching,” he said. “He didn’t really want to go out and do outdoorsy things, but because it was like a treasure hunt, you know that really excited him, and got him outside and being active.”

Gabriel Olvera, a student at NCTC, also geocaches, and has found several of the caches located on the UNT campus and in the Denton area.

“It pretty much just keeps me busy,” Olvera said. “It’s a very good outdoor activity of course, and it’s usually something new; you never know what you’re going to find in there.”

Olvera said some geocaches contain trackables – a geocaching “game piece” with a unique code on it that can be entered on the website to track its movements as geocachers move it from one place to another.

For those who are currently “muggles,” or non-geocachers, the Pohl Recreation Center is offering a free clinic on geocaching on Oct. 26.

“Most of our clinics are for begin-ners,” said Ben Hanisian, assistant director of outdoor pursuits. “They are for folks who don’t have a lot of knowledge on the subject and are just looking to have fun.”

Brill said one of the best parts of geocaching is the excitement of finding the cache and he said he makes a point to go geocaching when he is in a new place, such as on vacation.

“A lot of times geocaching will take you to a cool view, or an off-the-beaten path kind of place,” Brill said. “You experience more of your local area that you wouldn’t other-wise stop and look at.”

“...It’s probably kind of dangerous to get to, and you have to climb up

on all the branches to get to it.”

In its first action since suffering its first loss of the season, the Mean Green women’s soccer team will travel to Albuquerque, N.M., for a pair of weekend games in the Nike Classic.

UNT will start the tournament against UC Riverside (3-4-1) at 5 p.m. today and finish up against Cal State Fullerton (2-4-1) at 11:30 a.m. Sunday. Both games will be played at the University of New Mexico Soccer Complex.

“These games are not going to be easy because California teams can play,” UNT head coach John Hedlund said. “Their records don’t show it, but UC Riverside beat Mississippi State, an SEC team, and Fullerton has always been a pretty good program.”

With victories over the Titans and Highlanders, UNT would complete its non-conference schedule with just one loss for the first time in school history.

The Mean Green (5-1-1) tied the school record for longest unbeaten streak to start a season last Friday, but had it snapped in a 2-0 loss to Baylor two days later.

“I think we’ll be just fine coming off of the loss,” sopho-more defender Tori Adame said. “It wasn’t like it was a bad loss. They were a good team,”

In the loss against Baylor, UNT brought only four players off the bench because of injuries, but Hedlund said that shouldn’t be a problem this weekend.

“It looks like we’re going to be able to get some of these kids back for this weekend,” Hedlund said. “We get [senior defender] Shannon Gorrie back, we get [freshman midfielder] Leah [Cox] back. So we get those two back, which helps. I think it will be better than we were against Baylor.”

Freshman midfielder Haley Dockray, who left last Friday’s

The Mean Green (0-2) will have its hands full, entering the conest with a 1-41 all time record against ranked teams.

Wide receiver Brela n Chancellor has been a bright spot for the Mean Green in its first two games.

The sophomore was named the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance against Houston, in which he racked up 286 yards on nine kickoff returns.The Copperas Cover native ran for a UNT record 332 all-purpose yards in the loss. Chancellor currently leads the nation in all-purpose yards with an average of 297 yards per game.

“North Texas is a team, in my opinion, that has some very, very good players that’s very capable of making explosive plays,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said in his weekly press conference. “[Head coach Dan] McCarney has come from some really good programs and is a really good coach. You can see a lot of improvement.”

Senior running back Lance Dunbar will hope to bounce back Saturday after being held to less than 100 yards the past

two weeks. Since becoming a starter, Dunbar has never rushed for less than 100 for three consecutive games.

Seventeen starters – seven offensive, 10 defensive – return from Alabama’s 2010-2011 team, including running back Trent Richardson. The junior has notched five touchdowns in two games and is a candidate for the Doak Walker Award.

“[I tell the players] all the pressure is on Alabama,” McCarney said. “In this wild and wacky and crazy year of college football, everybody has to be ready.”

The Mean Green has devel-oped a history of facing the nation’s top teams, as Alabama will be UNT’s eleventh Top-10 ranked opponent since 2000.

UNT will visit Tuscaloosa for the second time in three years. The Mean Green and Crimson Tide last met in the 2009-2010 season. Alabama routed UNT 53-7 en route to winning the 2009 BCS National Championship.

Saturday’s game will be broadcasted on Fox Sports South and ESPN3.com and can be heard on 88.1 FM, KNTU.

UNT to face pair of California teams

game against Sam Houston with a sprained knee, has already been ruled out for this week-end’s games.

“Our goal this weekend is we want to be 7-1-1 at the end of it,” Hedlund said. “I think that would give us a lot of confidence, a lot of momentum, especially with the big SMU win and having seven wins under our belt.”

Senior forward Nikki Crocco kicks the ball during Tuesday’s practice. The women’s soccer team plays UC Riverside at 5 p.m. today.

What To ExpectWatch for UNT’s offense to get going early after being held without a goal for the first time all season against Baylor. UNT leads the Sun Belt in goals, so the offense certainly has the explosiveness to score with the best. Expect a pair of relatively easy wins this weekend.

“Straw Dogs”

In this remake of a 1971 movie, Amy and David move into her child-hood home. When her high school boyfriend Charlie starts showing up too often, David forces him away. Her ex decides to get revenge by rounding up his friends, breaking in and attacking the couple. I’m sure you can predict the ending.

Starring: Kate Bosworth, James Marsden and Alexander Skarsgård

Sarah Jessica Parker tries again, and fails, to break free from her “Sex and the City” role. Trying to balance two kids, an unemployed husband and a flirty new boss, Kate relies on her best friend Allison to keep her sane in this mediocre comedy based on the novel of the same name. Spoiler alert: critics hate it.

Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Greg Kinnear, and Olivia Munn

“The Lion King”

The Disney classic is back and more real than ever. This 3-D version allows today’s genera-tion to experience all the fights, stampedes and jungle friends and in a new way. The enhanced computer animation alone should be worth a ticket.

The 13 garments f rom t he 1940s featured at Fashion on Main aren’t stunningly embel-lished or f lashy. Instead, the construction and fabric attempt to utilize and reuse a limited amount of materials.

The “Adrian: Glamour in the Age of Austerity” exhibit is part of the Texas Fashion Collection in Dallas and features several designers, most prominent ly Gi lbert Adrian, a Hol ly wood costume designer, a long with Hat t ie Ca r neg ie a nd some unknown artists. The ex hibit shows the strengths of designers who, during a time of war, created styles using different materials due to war rationing, said Dawn Figueroa, assistant curator of the Texas Fashion Collection.

“The designers took the limi-tations and turned it into an artistic creation,” she said. “They created something unique.”

Instead of luxury fabrics like silk that were hard to get, designs feature utilitarian fabrics like rayon, said Myra Walker, director of the Texas Fashion Collection and a professor in the College of Visual Arts and Design.

“One of the themes was make do and mend,” Walker said. “And now, our society has gotten to saying that everything is expend-able when we could easily make do and mend,” Walker said.

Creating garments out of old clothing is important to fashion design sophomore Shera Gary, w ho sa id reu si ng fabr ic i s crucial.

“I’ve learned about how so many fabrics and clothes go to waste, and it’s real ly bad for the environment,” she said. “So many clothes are made and just dumped.”

While previous fashion exhibits had more extravagant looks, the

garments of the “Adrian: Glamour in the Age of Austerity” exhibit are more modest and less embel-lished, with a focus on the histor-ical, Figueroa said.

The idea for a 1940s exhibit was conceived about five months ago, and the garments are all from the Texas Fashion Collection, Figueroa said.

“We pulled a bunch of pieces that were pretty and significant historically and could be fit on something,” she said.

Not only are the pieces histor-ical, but their time period reflects the U.S.’s current climate, Walker said.

“The country was in a period of high alert and it’s similar to the time period we’re in now,” she said. “People are tightening the belt, and it would be really good for people to use what they have.”

The free exhibit runs from Sept. 10 through Nov. 11 at Fashion on Main in Dallas.

Mythic Rhetoric of the American Superhero

Class: COMM 4849

Subject Matter: Mythic Rhetoric of the American Superhero

Better Known As: The Comic Book Class

Required Texts: “Myth of the American Superhero” by John Lawrence and Robert Jewett, “The Power of Comics” by Randy Duncan and Matthew J. Smith, Dr. Treat’s two reading packets and comics.

CORRISA JACKSONStaff Writer

The Man of Steel and the Caped Crusader are more than just DC Comics’ shining superheroes.

They, and other comic book char-acters, are a gateway to learning about American history and examining culture.

In Mythic Rhetoric of the American Superhero, students unpack the social commentary, mysticism and literary archetypes found within the glossy panels of comic books.

Through the study of comic books, students learn how to reflect on social issues and how they’ve developed over time, class instructor Shaun Treat said.

“It’s used as a teaching bait-and-switch to introduce them to critical culture theory,” he said.

Treat said there is an equal mix of students who have and have not read comic books.

“Even students who don’t have familiarity with comics, whenever

they leave the class, they also enjoy and learn a lot,” he said.

Jonathan Evans, a rhetoric graduate student at Texas Woman’s University who’s in the class, said he heard about it from a fellow student.

Evans enjoys the visual rhetoric of comics and graphic novels and how they engage with mythology.

The challenging part of the class is the amount of scholarly reading and trying to absorb all the informa-tion, he said.

“I feel like there’s so much; I’m super enthused by it,” he said.

Bri McDonald, an English grad-uate student, said graphic narratives are a large medium and the class is innovative.

Learning about the arche-types used in comics, which influ-ence and are informed by culture is “insanely interesting,” she said.“It’s one of those things I think people should pay more attention to, espe-cially because they’re so culturally relevant,” McDonald said.

Crumpled paper towels spilling out of overfilled trashcans and un-flushed toilets welcome Vickie Matthews to work each morning. Matthews is one of UNT’s 102 custo-dians.

“You don’t take anything personal ‘cause if you did, you’d be mad every day,” Matthews said.

She has been working at UNT for 12 years and, as a mother of four, picking up after others comes natu-rally to her, she said.

“It’s the same thing as if it were at home, you just do it for a living,” Matthews said. “It keeps you busy. I couldn’t just sit in an office because I’d be fat.”

Each weekday, Matthews is up at 7:30 a.m. and walks into work by 10 a.m. She cleans and stocks the bathrooms of the Language, Art and Physics buildings; Curry and Sage Halls; Willis Library and the Auditorium Building. Through her day, she’ll revisit each site twice

before returning home at 6:30 p.m.

Although Matthews enjoys her job, she said it’s difficult at times.

“Accidents happen. It gets nasty, so you gotta have a strong gut,” she said.

Specifically, overflowed toilets and regurgitation are common accidents. For these, custodians put their regular work on hold to tend to the incidents.

After a dozen years on the job, Matthews sees spots on doors and countertops that no one else would notice.

David Barkenhagen, director of custodial services, said most of his staff works the night shift between 12:30 and 9 a.m.

“It’s a different challenge every day; there is never a dull moment,” Barkenhagen said. “We don’t have a shutdown period; we’re cleaning the whole year. It’s a never-ending stage.”

Barkenhagen said 98 employees work during the night when the

buildings are empty. “It’s a tough shift, but it makes

us the most productive when the buildings are vacant,” Barkenhagen said.

The night team sweeps, mops, stocks supplies, cleans the boards, dusts, vacuums and takes out trash.

Taylor Douglas, a biology freshman, thinks students could make custodians’ jobs easier by being more considerate and not assuming someone is going to do it for them.

“People say I wouldn’t do that job, but they should pick up after themselves,” Douglas said.

Douglas said she’s overheard students say, “Oh, someone will pick that up,” or “It’s the custo-dian’s job.”

“Clean after yourself; it’s not like we don’t have trash cans every-where,” Douglas said.

As for the dirtiest place to clean, Matthews said it’s usually the men’s restrooms.

Custodian Vickie Matthews gets ready with her cart that has everything she needs to make her rounds in the Language, Curry and Art buildings.
