Over the next few months 18 new Champion buses will be added to the campus routes, replacing older buses.

“We began replacing the Champions in 2006,” DCTA Marketing Manager Kristina Brevard said. “Goshens [buses] are being replaced now and were a part of the original f leet when we started serving UNT.”

The buses, which collec-tively cost $3.6 million, have a life expectancy of 10 years and are able to carry three bikes in comparison to current buses which can fit only two.

“ T h e r e h a s b e e n a n increasing number of students who use a bike as transpor-tation, and a lot of them use the bus as well,” DCTA Senior Transit Planner Cheri Soileau said.

Though DCTA will begin receiv i ng t he buses t h is month, mechanical testing and bus driver training will have to take place before buses are ready to join the campus routes.

“It’s like you’ve driven a Toyota for years, and now you’re get t i ng a Honda,”

Language department halts student tutoring services

UNT police see increase in number of DWI arrests

ALEX ARRICKContributing Writer

Foreign language tutoring services from the Department of World Languages, Literatures a nd Cu lt u res ha s been suspended for the remainder of the spring semester due to a decline in student enrollment.

Students enrolled in world languages classes pay a small fee every semester for the tutoring lab. The fee, set at least a year in

advance, is based on a projected increase in enrollment. This year, however, enrollment dropped in all UNT colleges and departments.

“This decline had not been anticipated, and as a conse-quence we did not collect sufficient funds to cover the stipend of the tutors for the whole semester,” said Marie-Christine Koop, professor and chair of the Department of

World Languages, Literatures and Cultures. “We are there-fore obligated to temporarily interrupt this service.”

Tutoring services stopped after spring break. A notice was placed on the door of the tutoring lab explaining the situation, to reassure students that free tutoring will resume during the summer.

The UNT Police Department has seen a significant increase in the number of driving while intoxicated arrests this semester compared to last year’s totals.

The results went up 58 percent compared with last year based on records provided by Corporal John Delong. In 2011, officers made 114 DWI arrests, averaging 9.5 arrests per month. In the first three

months of 2012, UNT PD has averaged 16.5 per month.

“As of the spring break week, UNT PD [averaged] four DWI cases, which is about the average per week this year,” Delong said in an email. “Over the next nine months these numbers could average out, though.”

U N T a l u m n u s R y a n McAdams nearly received a DWI in his driveway in September 2010 from UNT police and is still facing the repercussions.

“The cop was parked right in front of my house and pulled me over because I made too wide of a turn into my driveway,” McAdams said. “I didn’t blow into the Breathalyzer, but I was still arrested for suppos-edly failing the sobriety test. I only ended up paying about $6,000, and I am still on probation until this September.”

Games are on display Tuesday at Hastings Entertainment, located at 2311 Colorado Blvd. A member of the Game Devel-opers of UNT club, which meets every other week and hosts an online discussion forum, has entered the sixth annual Microsoft-sponsored “Dream.Build.Play Challenge.” for a prize of $112,500.

UNT student develops game for competitionBEN PEYTONStaff Writer

UNT computer science junior Wilson Cordero has partnered with Pennsylvania native and Lehigh University graduate Stephen Grabowski to develop a video game to enter in the sixth annual Microsoft-sponsored “Dream.Build.Play Challenge.”

The “Drea m.Bui ld.Play Challenge” allows individuals to create a game for an Xbox 360 game console or Windows Phones. The 2011 competition attracted 250 entries from inde-pendent game developers in 27 countries. The winners of the competition will split $112,500 in prize money.

Game developers have until June 12 to submit their projects in the competition.

“At first we were just putting it [the game] out for an Xbox indie platform just for a hobby, and then he [Grabowski] was like, ‘Let’s go ahead and enter it in the “Dream. Build.Play competition,” and I said, ‘OK,’” Cordero said.

Cordero is a member of the Game Developers of UNT club, which meets every other week and hosts an online discussion forum similar to the one that introduced him to Grabowski. The forum can be found at gdunt.editboard.com.

Cordero said he is the only member of the club that is entering the Dream.Build.Play competition thus far.

“I found it [GDUNT] through a friend,” Cordero said. “She told me the Game Developers club was happening last semester so

I decided to go to it, and so far I like the atmosphere.”

Cordero and Grabowski crossed paths through an online forum frequented by independent game developers.

While Cordero focused his attention to the game’s artwork and Grabowski developed the programming, the two main-tained a balance of creative control.

“He was really good with any ideas on how to improve things,” Grabowski said. “He was really good at just saying it.”

Cordero and Grabowski exchange their work through weekly emails to complete the project in time for the compe-tition.

Santorum suspends presidential campaign (MCT) GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Bowing to the math of the moment, R ick Sa ntor u m suspended his ailing presi-dential campaign Tuesday, ensuring Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee in November.

“We made a decision over t he weekend, t hat wh i le this presidential race for us is over, for me, and we will suspend our campaign today, we are not done f ighting,” the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania announced in a speech here.

After much “prayer and thought” at home, Santorum said, he and his wife, Karen, and children decided it was

The notice said that many tutors had expressed interest in helping students for free. A student offering free Spanish tutoring already posted infor-mation in the lab.

The most recent tutoring fee was $4.50, which is included in a student’s tuition.

“We will readjust the fee for next year, and the problem should be resolved,” Koop said.

Sophie Morton, the coordi-nator for beginner and inter-mediate French, said that intermediate French students tend to use t he ser v ices frequently and will be affected by the temporary change.

tries to stop them from getting in their cars and driving.

“If I see that someone is iden-tifiably drunk, we encourage them to drink water, then try to find them a way home,” Larson said. “Things slip under the radar all of the time, and it gets difficult to keep track of who has had too much to drink.”

Larson said that she and her

co-workers have occasionally had to take people home who have had too much to drink to prevent accidents and possible DWIs.

“A lot of the staff that works here has had a DWI or DUI in the past, so it’s important to all of us that we don’t overserve someone,” Larson said.

Larson said she hasn’t

noticed much difference this year in the amount of people Lucky Lou’s serves and has not witnessed a case of a DWI offender who was overserved there.

Delong said they have not been actively pursuing drunk drivers, rather UNT PD only wishes to maintain the safety of the students.

who pursue the girl with food, which makes her grow larger and larger until she explodes. The player’s objective as the girl is to defeat the witch and her minions, thus returning the character to her normal self.

The game, which is made for the Xbox 360 gaming console, remains untitled.

“It would be cool to enter

and just see how we really do in comparison to other people,” Grabowski said.

A panel of industry profes-sionals from Microsoft will critique the games based on inno-vation, fun-factor and produc-tion quality.

Twenty finalists will be announced in August, and the winners will be announced in

September. Aside from the prize money,

finalists have a chance to be a part of Xbox 360’s registered developer program, receive publishing contracts for Xbox 360 or Windows Phone entries, and have a chance for developers to showcase their games at the PAX Prime 2012 gaming festival in Seattle, Wash.

time to end the campaign. S ay i ng he h ad en a ble d “conser vat ives to have a voice” in the GOP nominating process, Santorum marveled at the long-shot nature of his campaign, in which he rose to become the stron-gest remaining challenger to Romney.

“Miracle after miracle, this race was as improbable as any you will ever see for presi-dent,” he said. “We are not done fighting.”

Santorum did not mention Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, in t he speech and spoke instead of h i s g rat it ude for h i s supporters.

John Brabender, Santorum’s chief strategist, confirmed Santorum talked to Romney b e f o r e s u s p e n d i n g h i s campaign and will be meeting with the likely nominee “in the near future.”

But Brabender stopped shor t of say i ng whet her Sa ntor u m w i l l of f ic ia l ly endorse Romney.

In a statement, Romney said: “Senator Santorum is an able and worthy compet-itor, and I congratulate him on the campaign he ran. He has proven himself to be an important voice in our party and in the nation. We

both recognize that what is most important is putting the failures of the last three years behind us and setting America back on the path to prosperity.”

In announcing his deci-sion, Sa ntor u m spoke of being “fueled” by the stories and struggles of ordinar y Americans he had met on the campaign trail, particularly the parents of “special needs” children who were inspired by Bella and Santorum’s role in fighting abortion.

“ We w e r e w i n n i n g ,”

Santorum said, despite the pundits who decla red he would never have been the nominee. “We were winning i n a ver y d i f ferent way, because we were touching hearts and we were raising issues that frank ly people didn’t want to have raised.”

His wife Karen appeared to be holding back tears as he announced his decision.

“Pe ople a sk how t h i s happened,” Santorum said. It happened, he said, because of the ordinary conservatives for whom he spoke. “I real-ized if I felt and understood at a very deep level what you all were going through across A mer ica, t hat your voice could be heard and miracles could happen. And miracles did happen. This race was improbable as any race you will ever see for president. I want to thank God for that and also thank all of you.”

“It is unfortunate that tutoring for subjects that a lot of people find trouble w it h is being slashed,” said history and political sc ience ju n ior Fa rhad Mirzadeh, who is taking Arabic. “As long as the free tutoring will come back, I’m fine with it, even if it is reflected in higher student fees.”

Whether it’s through interac-tive learning in the classroom or field trips to Six Flags and the state capitol, UNT’s Intensive English Language Institute teaches students from all over the world the English skills they will need to succeed in the American academic world and beyond.

The IELI, a part of UNT International, is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.

One of the 10 largest accred-ited language programs for learning academic English in the United States, the institute teaches more than 450 students from more than 30 countries, IELI Assistant Director Carol Ogden said.

“IELI plays a very impor-tant role at UNT,” said Sabine Thépaut, interim associate director for academics for the institute. “IELI serves as a door to UNT for many international students.”

Forty-five instructors, all with at least a master’s degree, teach students the English they will need to excel at writing essays, conducting research and reading academic texts in a university setting, Thépaut said.

“When they arrive here they don’t have the English proficiency to start their university studies,” she said. “So we offer English instruction, and it’s academic, it’s not spoken English.”

The institute offers seven levels of English proficiency courses. Each level consists of eight weeks of classes, and students are expected to attend 23 hours of classes a week.

“It’s very intensive,” Thépaut said. “When they are in class it is total immersion because they only speak English. They are also immersed in the English envi-ronment so it’s much easier for them to progress.”

From 2010 to 2011, the IELI saw a 20 percent increase in enrollment in its courses, Ogden

Breaking the language wall

said. Students enroll in the insti-

tute for several reasons, Thépaut said. Some want to improve their English, and others want to become proficient to study at an American university. The institute also works with other universities in countries such as Turkey, Thailand, Japan and Korea, allowing international students to attend the insti-tute and receive course credit to fulfill their university’s require-ments.

Seventy percent of students who graduate from the IELI go on to attend UNT, and once students graduate from IELI they officially meet the universi-ty’s English proficiency require-

ment. This exempts them from taking required standardized tests such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language, Thépaut said.

“Not only is this a great oppor-tunity for our students to be immersed in the U.S. culture, it’s also a great opportunity for UNT students to get to know people from around the world and learn about where they come from and their values and beliefs,” said Kristen Brooks, IELI assistant director for student success. “It’s an opportunity for us to bring diversity to UNT, and I hope people will take the opportunity to get to know these students because it is a mutually benefi-cial relationship.”

Students at Texas Woman’s University are reaching out to the Denton community this week to spread the word about the bene-fits of therapy through music.

The Student Association for Music Therapy (SAMT) at TWU is hosting its annual “Music Therapy Awareness Week,” with a variety of events scheduled to promote music therapy, the clin-ical use of music in a therapeutic relationship.

To raise awareness, SAMT will sponsor guest lectures, musical jam sessions and drum circles, said Jessica Leza, a music therapy graduate student at TWU.

Tuesday night students and Denton residents performed and belted out songs at an open-mic night at the Love Shack. The week will conclude with a drum circle on the lawn of the Courthouse-on-the-Square on Friday at 6 p.m.

“Music therapy is also used to help strengthen and heal communities, often through the practice of community drum circles,” Leza said. “In the after-math of the Virginia Tech shoot-ings, therapeutic drum circles were used to bring the commu-nity together to voice their pain, mourn their loss and begin the process of healing.”

Music therapists will be at all this week’s events to answer questions, including inquiries from current UNT students who may be interested in studying music therapy at TWU or other universities, Leza said.

There is a drum circle planned for today at 11:30 a.m. outside of the Baptist Student Ministry on Oakland Avenue and a fundraiser

Students praise mentalbenefits of music therapy

at Yogurt Fusion on Hickory Street on Thursday at 8 p.m.

Leza said research demon-strates that music therapy is effective in a variety of settings.

“Music therapy is the art and science of using music and a therapeutic relationship to create positive changes in the lives of diverse populations,” she said.

Leza said music therapy works because music uses many different regions of the brain, and therapeutic applications of music can rewire the brain.

“Music is also a powerful way to directly access emotion,” Leza said.

During sessions, music thera-pists will put on different music and try to figure out which music affects the person in the most positive way, said jazz studies freshman Michael Tuck, who has independently studied music therapy while at UNT.

Leza said sessions could play out differently depending on the patient.

“Music therapists often employ techniques such as music

improvisation and performance, receptive music listening, song-writing, lyric discussion, music and imagery, and learning through music,” Leza said.

Leza said that many college students face problems that can be addressed in a music therapy setting, including issues like depression, substance abuse and sexual assault.

Music therapy can also help manage stress, alleviate pain and serve as a vehicle for the expression of feelings, she said. During their interventions, music therapists address indi-vidual needs by customizing each musical experience to suit the patient’s preference, whether that be Mozart, Taylor Swift or Led Zeppelin.

Tuck said music had a special connection with the human mind.

“There’s something in music that makes people feel a certain way,” he said.

UNT students’ hybrid art creations have taken the spot-light with a new exhibit on display in the Environmental Education, Science and Technology Building.

Students have two more days to catch “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes,” which opened last week and draws to a close this Friday.

It is an open, come-and-go event that displays work from Hybrid Forms Studio, a class that focuses on combining different styles of art.

“The great thing about this exhibit is that it opens up people’s eyes to a new way of thinking and seeing,” studio art professor Susan Cheal said. “It is not just paintings, drawings or sculptures, but it’s a hybrid of all types of art.”

The exhibit, which includes pieces of work such as garbage flowing out of a trashcan and a video of a painting, addresses subjects such as the environ-ment, identity issues, family strife, culture, shopping and gender, Cheal said. The goal of “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes” is to give students in the class the expe-rience of displaying their work, while allowing everyone else to get a taste of art they won’t get to see anywhere else.

Painting and drawing senior Cristen Luce, who contributed to the show, said her piece, “Button Up, or Button Down” was motivated by and focuses on nostalgia.

The piece, which seems to jump out from the wall, repre-sents keepsakes and common collectables such as buttons. It is just one of many pieces that visitors have to navigate around while viewing the exhibit.

“Walking into the show is not just like walking into a normal art gallery, it’s an experience that you become immersed in,” Luce said.

Luce’s piece is one of many in the show that places human identities on inanimate objects. One of the best examples is seen in painting and drawing senior Taylor Sheppard’s piece, “Printing Paper.”

Sheppard said he was moti-vated to show that “everything has an identity, we just have to choose to recognize it” and hopes to do so with his work.

Public relat ions junior Carolina Medina stopped by the exhibit between classes and said it had been well worth her time.

“I really enjoyed getting to see the art,” Medina said. “It’s not art you normally see, and it was fun to see what other students are creating.”

“Printing Paper” by studio art senior Taylor Dange Sheppard hangs in the “Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes” gallery next to studio art senior Jeff Heaton’s plastic hanger piece “Original Sin.” Sheppard’s mixed media piece was created with a laserjet printer and laserjet prints.

NT Daily Edboard: Nods and Shakes

Disarming good guys won’t stop

bad guys

Derbyshire article is decadent and

depraved

Staff Editorial

Columns

This week’s Nods and Shakes pertain to two different Plano parents that created mobile applications inspired by their children. In the opinion of the Edboard, one of these apps is infi-nitely more pragmatic and beneficial than the other.

Nod: Karen Carmeli

Karen Carmeli is the mother of a 9-year-old boy suffering from autism. In a spark of creativity inspired by her son, Yair, and the tumultuous nature of his day, she created an iPad application to help keep track of Yair’s behavior, health, nutrition and activities through the use of a centralized scheduling app to help keep all of her notes in one place.

Carmeli’s app, My Autism Day, could

serve as a useful tool for parents of autistic children everywhere. The app itself serves as a reminder of how smartphone technology with user-de-veloped applications could be a large part of our technological future.

“I like the iPad. I think it’s a great device,” Carmeli said. “I realized, you know, I can do it. And I started doing it.”

Taking the initiative to recognize a problem in her daily life and then actively working toward a solution that not only solves the problem for her but benefits others as well, earns Karen Carmeli a nod from the Edboard.

Shake: Glenn and Wendy White

In a misguided attempt to combat

the condition of nomophobia – or the fear of being out of contact with your mobile phone – parents Glenn and Wendy White created an application for Android phones that allows parents to lock their child’s phone during hours that they deem inappropriate for use. After watching their child become dependent on technology, they wanted to help other parents prevent the same kind of social-networking addiction.

The idea of the app isn’t entirely flawed. It’s understandable that parents wouldn’t want their kids playing Angry Birds until 3:30 a.m. when they should be getting rest before school.

However, the justification for the app earns these parents a shake from the Edboard.

The idea that the app is in pursuit of some noble goal like preventing a

phobia is downright silly. In reality, it boils down to parents wanting control of their children’s social lives, which in recent years have spiraled beyond parents’ reach.

Wendy White told the Star Local News in Plano, “As a parent, you need to take control of your child’s distractions. I think when you become a parent, your whole life is nothing but hard decisions to make for your child.”

This quotation represents a false sense of security. Sure, you can forc-ibly stop your child from being on the phone while they’re living in your house. However, isn’t it much more sensible for your child to know that being on the phone in class is a bad idea, and to trust that you’ve taught them enough self-control to make that decision for themselves?

Roug h ly one week ago, si x students at a Christian school in California were shot by a disgrun-tled student. While I won’t make the claim that having a conceal-and-carry program at this partic-ula r school would have saved those students, I w i l l say that hav i ng one at t he Un iversit y of North Texas could prevent a similar shooting from happening here.

Opponents of t he bi l l cla im that more students will simply be caught in the crossf ire and injured by inaccurate shooting. This is absurd, and this claim only makes sense to those who are unfamiliar with the Concealed Handgun License qualifications. To pass the CHL course in the state of Texas, one must pass not only a written examination but a lso a shooting practica l. The shooting practical requires you to fire 50 rounds from a handgun of .32 caliber or greater, including 20 shots at three yards, 20 at seven yards and 10 at 15 yards. You must score at least an 80 percent on the practical to pass.

The second point of debate is whether or not the police can dist ing uish who is the “good” shooter and who is the “bad.” It’s rather simple, really. When confronted by police, chances are the “good” shooter would be more than willing to set his gun down, while the “bad” shooter won’t. If you point your gun at a police officer, expect to be fired on. The f irst lesson that a gun owner learns is, “only point at

what you intend to destroy.” Further criticism comes from

the college environment, namely the presence of alcohol and binge drinking. This is merely a red herring. If you’re a gun-owning student, odds are you’re not going to class drunk. In addition to the rise in binge drinking, gun sales have a lso r isen. By that logic, college kids should be murdering each other left and right, but they aren’t. The state of Texas has set qualifications as to who can receive a CHL, and if you’re poten-tially a danger to others then you don’t get one.

This isn’t about arming t he populace. It’s about people who have proven they are already qual-ified in the eyes of Rick Perry to carry a gun and allowing them to carry that gun almost anywhere they please. Those people are not your enemy.

The widespread debate surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin has recently evolved into media discussion of American racial issues. This explo-ration and increase of public knowl-edge on current racial challenges is largely commendable. However, it is a sad fact that such vast discussions give those with far more chilling views an opportunity to blend their thoughts into the background.

The latest and arguably most heinous case involves John Derbyshire, a British-American known largely for writing in the respected journal of American conservatism, National Review. However, Derbyshire chose to bury his latest article in Taki’s Magazine, a far more obscure online publication targeted towards fringe right-wing and libertarian move-ments, and upon reading it is obvious why.

An exhaustive recap of the article is unnecessary – an Internet search will reveal it too disgusting to print – and thus my intent is to examine the situation itself. The piece is indicative of a widespread misunderstanding of science.

Derbyshire’s views hobble on crutches of flawed methodology and carefully cultivated contextual igno-rance. Scientific racists frequently cite the fact that young black males are far more likely to be convicted of a crime than young white males. It’s a comforting statistic for a racist, a kind of warm blanket insulating against higher-level thinking. Of course, the argument fails when external factors are examined, so Derbyshire must plot his course wisely.

He must ignore black youths

arrested for drug-related offenses twice as often as their white peers despite statistical rates of drug use being two points higher for young whites, black drivers receiving traffic tickets 14 percent more often than whites pulled over for the same offense, and résumés with common “white” names being chosen by employers 50 percent more often than identical resumes displaying stero-typically “black” names.

He must ignore the historical frame-work of oppression capped off by an oft-begrudging, glacial movement of tolerance through the last century.

Finally, he must ignore the blunt reality that his divisive and reduc-tionist perversions of knowledge are a significant factor in propagating the very conditions permitting these inequalities to exist. In essence, without Derbyshire, there would be no Derbyshire, and thus his sacking begs no sympathy.

What are your thoughts on the recent tuition

increases?

“Tuition is pretty cheap as it is. They need more available

resources, and you can’t do that without money. They could

definitely use it for improving buildings.”

“I think it’s awesome. It’s a small thing that’s going to have a long-term impact. If you want your degree to mean something, it’s

going to take money.”

“Ever since I’ve been here, there has been a tuition increase.

They need to space it out so it isn’t so hard on students.”

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

The UNT softba l l team (17-18-1) wil l conclude its eig ht-ga me home st a nd today when it welcomes t he defending Sout h la nd Conference champion Texas State Bobcats (24-14) to Denton for a doubleheader.

“It’s going to be a fight out there. Like us, they’re not going to go down without swinging,” sophomore pitcher Ashley Kirk said. “We can’t

go out there with a mindset that we can’t mess up. We just have to play. That is all we have to do.”

In the teams’ first matchup in Februar y, t he start ing pitchers held each of the lineups in check. UNT junior pitcher Brittany Simmons and Texas State junior pitcher Ann Marie Taylor pitched all nine innings of the game, a 1-0 Bobcats win.

Taylor got the win in the pitch i ng duel w hen t he

Bobcat offense got the best of Simmons with one out in the bottom of the ninth.

The UNT offense has come alive recently, as the team has outscored its opponents 17-1 in its last two games, both wins against Florida Atlantic. While the offense was impres-sive, Kirk’s pitching stole the show in the conference series. In two games, she picked up two wins with 13 strikeouts and one earned run.

Because Kirk pitched two

consecutive games against FAU, she will likely pitch the second game of the double-header.

“We will have our work cut out for us against Texas State,” head coach T.J. Hubbard said. “If we keep playing the way we have been for these last two weeks, it’ll be really good for us and give us even more confidence.”

The No. 31 UNT men’s golf team put together its best performance of the season at The Woodlands All-American Intercollegiate Tuesday, finishing one stroke behind No. 10 Arkansas for second place. Junior Curtis Donahoe led the way, recording the lowest score for a Mean Green golfer in 14 years with a 9-under 207. Who were the last Mean Green golfers to shoot a 207?

Hint: The duo earned the impressive score at the Pacific Invitational.

Junior Curtis Donahoe led the No. 31 UNT men’s golf team to its most impressive finish of the year as the team earned second place at The Woodlands All-American in Houston on Tuesday.

The Mean Green finished one stroke behind tournament champion No. 10 Arkansas for its seventh straight top-five finish.

Donahoe finished with a three-round 9-under par 207, the best score on a par-72 by a UNT golfer since 1998.

Donahoe’s score earned him second place individually behind Texas A&M senior Geoff Shaw, who shot a three-round score of 11-under 205. All five UNT golfers finished in the top 25.

“The team played within themselves and struck the ball well the first day,” head coach Brad Stracke said. “Curtis had a good day on the greens and hit the ball great.”

The team got off to a strong start on the first day of the tour-nament, finishing the second round with a season-low score

of 13-under par 275. Donahoe accounted for seven birdies and only one bogey, good for third place on the day.

The Mean Green outgunned two top-20 teams, No. 15 Texas A&M and No. 17 Clemson, which finished third and sixth, respec-tively.

Junior Ty Spinella and freshman Jason Roets continued their impressive play with top-20 finishes individually. Spinella’s third round score of 1-under par 71 earned him a seventh place tie, his second straight top-10 finish. Roets took a 20th tie with a total score of 1-under par 215.

Stracke sees the team’s success as a sign of its maturity and expe-rience.

“Having a team that is maturing helps in every tour-nament we play in,” Stracke said. “This team is ready for the post-season and looking forward to the challenges ahead.”

Next up for the Mean Green is the Sun Belt Conference Championship, which begins April 23 in Muscle Shoals, Ala. UNT will try to win its first conference title since 2003.
