College hosts consumer protection symposiumNICHOLAS CAINContributing Writer

Students gathered in the University Union’s Silver Eagle Suite on Tuesday to listen to three guest speakers discuss how to protect consumers and brands in the digital age.

The three speakers – Joe LaRocca of National Retail Federation, Samir Kothari of Truaxis and Josh Bourne of FairWinds Partners – were part of the UNT College of Merchandising, Hospitality & Tourism’s 8th Annual Creating Global Consumer Experiences Symposium.

“The purpose of this sympo-sium is to increase under-standing of the experiences

that consumers have with products and services across all touch points and transac-tions,” said Judith Forney, dean of CMHT.

Topics covered by t he speakers included privacy poli-cies and pirating, securing and protecting brand names, retail theft and ways for individ-uals and businesses to protect themselves.

Sponsored by Target, the event allowed for students to interact with the guest speakers during an open ques-tion-and-answer panel.

“Target is really excited to continue our relationship with North Texas,” said Chris Kahill, a representative for Target. “We

continue to find great talent at this campus, so we want to do our part to make sure we give back and help in the education of the university.”

In addition to the guest spea kers, mercha nd isi ng students displayed projects they had been working on throughout the semester.

“Each year, in conjunction w ith the sy mposium, the College of Merchandising, Hospitality Management and Tourism holds a research competition for undergraduate and graduate-level merchan-d isi ng st udents,” For ney said.

A walk of honor comprised of plaques with the names and pictures of military members k i l led in t he service from Denton County will open in the next two weeks in the Spc. Ernest W. Dallas Jr. Veterans Memorial Park.

About half of the monu-ments of the 19 men who were killed in Operation Desert Storm and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been erected, said Jim Mays, superintendent of park maintenance for the city of Denton.

The walk, which was paid for primarily by donations, serves to honor the memory and allows people a place to grieve and learn about the lives lost, said Monty Slough, a Vietnam veteran and the director of Denton County Fallen Soldiers Memorial.

“T hese boys a re my brothers, and they have a right to be known now, not 20 years down the road when nobody cares,” Slough said.

Denton County Sheriff’s Sergeant Phyllis Broomfield lost her son 2nd Lt. Johnny Craver in Iraq in 2006 when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated. She said the walk is a “beau-tiful place” that allows the community to see the sacri-fices her son made.

“It means a lot to us to have See CMHT on Page 2

the walk,” Broomfield said. “I want people to remember what a brave and honorable man he was. He volunteered to go to Iraq, and he loved his country.”

T he rema i ns of ma ny servicemen are located in various military plots and private property around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The walk will provide a more conve-

nient place for the families to go honor their loved ones, Slough said.

“I don’t want the families to remember their soldier as a coffin with a f lag,” Slough said. “Looking at a tombstone is depressing, but the idea of putting a picture in makes you feel good in the heart.”

UN T ha s h i red for mer Marquette men’s basketball assistant coach Tony Benford, a 20-year veteran in Division I, as the 17th head coach of Mean Green men’s basketball.

Benford’s hiring comes eight days after former UNT men’s basketball head coach Johnny Jones was introduced as the Louisiana State head coach.

“We are very excited about the opportunity to add Tony Benford to the strong group of coaches at the University of North Texas,” UNT Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said in a press release. “In this search we were looking for a set of traits that make up a great coach and a great person, and Tony Benford fit the bill.”

Benford, who has been called one of the nation’s top assistant coaches by Basketball Times and Fox Sports, served as the associate head coach for the Marquette Golden Eagles under head coach Buzz Williams for the last four years. Marquette has advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCA A Tournament in each of the last two seasons.

Before arriving at Marquette, Benford spent time at Nebraska, Arizona State and New Mexico, and played college basket-ball at Texas Tech. While at Nebraska, he helped recruit

“I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity of taking over the basketball program at North Texas,” Benford said. “I would like to thank Rick Villarreal and President V. Lane Rawlins for this opportunity, and Johnny Jones for doing such a great job in making North Texas a winner.”

Benford will be intro-duced in a press conference at 2 p.m. today in the Club Level of Apogee Stadium.

Denton mayoral candidates Mark Burroughs, Neil Durrance and Donna Woodfork answered questions Tuesday night to about 60 people at Milestone Celebrations on issues such as candidate residency, gas well drilling, food trucks and a possible convention center.

The debate came before early voting begins April 30-May 8

and Election Day on May 12. Registered Denton residents can vote at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center, the North Branch Library, North Lakes Recreation Center and the Denia Recreation Center.

Durrance said he would focus his platform on more account-able politics.

“It’s time to restore trust in city government,” Durrance said. “No more back-door deals.”

Burroughs thanked the city for the allowing him to serve as mayor and wanted to continue to push the city ahead.

“We’re going to continue what we’ve done. We’ve made progress despite the recession,” Burroughs said.

Woodfork said she would i mprove com mu n icat ion between local government and city residents.

“We need a leader who will

listen, analyze and come up with win-win situations,” she said.

Residency questionsCurrent mayor Burroughs

and candidate Woodfork both defended their Denton resi-dency, which was questioned after Burroughs sold his Denton home and Woodfork was evicted from her apartment.

A volunteer at the Denton Community Food Center greets clients picking up food in January. About 90,000 people in Denton County have varying access to food, according to a 2011 report.

Serve Denton, a commu-nity-based nonprofit orga-nization, is expected to open Denton’s first food distribu-tion center with the help of the North Texas Food Bank.

The proposed partnership is in the planning stages, and an opening date has not been established, said Paul Wunderlich, NFTB chief oper-ating officer.

“It’s not written down on paper yet,” Wunderlich said. “We sat down with members of Serve Denton to talk about a possible partnership. It’s still in the early stages.”

Distribution center to open in DentonIn the past, Serve Denton

has rel ied on food distr i-butions outside of Denton County, but with the help of NTFB, families in need of food will not have to go all the way to Dallas.

“This w i l l actua l ly cut costs for NTFB members in Denton County who choose to participate by picking their food up from us, in Denton, rat her t ha n at t he NTFB center in South Dallas,” said Kayce Strader, Serve Denton’s director of development.

Since food dist r ibut ion would be more accessible, the number of people that will benefit from NTFB here

in Denton is still unknown. “We’re work ing on our

aggregate numbers of how many people will be served t h r ou g h t h i s p r o g r a m ; however, t hey ’re a l ready being served through NTFB. Again, this is primarily about how organizations will more efficiently access the NTFB resources each is a lready connected to,” Strader said.

The NTFB began opera-tions in 1982 to address the issue of hunger by securing donations of surplus unmar-ketable, but wholesome, foods to feed the hungry, according to the NTFB website. In the first year of operation, NTFB

distributed 400,000 pounds of food.

About 90,000 people in Denton County have f luctu-ating access to food, according to a 2011 report by the Texas Food Bank Network, Baylor University’s Texas Hunger Initiative and First Choice Power.

NTFB Agency Relat ions Manager Isaac Burren said the proposed partnership will be beneficial.

“I know that lots of fami-lies in Denton will benefit from this resource. We will be using Serve Denton as a sort of hub for the NTFB,” Burren said.

In Tuesday’s edition of the North Texas Daily, in the story “Students submit input with SETE surveys,” Dr. Brenda McCoy, Director of the Bachelor of Applied Arts & Sciences Degree Program in the College of Public Affairs and Community Service, was misidentified as the director of the College of Public Affairs and Community Services. The Daily regrets this error.

“For a lot of the classes t h e s y m p o s i u m w a s mandator y,” hospita lit y m a n a g e m e n t j u n i o r Katherine Kingsbury said. “I think it was good for the consumer’s part to even the business side as far as new technologies and the difference between privacy and preferences.”

are killed, Slough said.For Broomfield, the walk

leaves a lasting legacy of her son who left behind a wife and three children.

“He was determined to make something of himself, and he wanted to go in the army. He sacrificed a lot.” Broomfield said. “He wanted to be remem-bered as a soldier.”

Burroughs said he sold his house to move in with his father-in-law who lives in Denton, while Woodfork said the management of the apartment complex did not accept her disability payment program, thus resulting in her evic-tion.

Food trucksDurrance said food trucks

needed to be regulated for health and safety concerns.

“We have to regulate health and enforcement. We can’t have people

running into the street creating traffic hazards,” Durrance said.

Burroughs said flexibility was needed and that food trucks can attend events but regulation remains an issue.

“Generally speaking, you have a harder time keeping a sense of cleanliness and eliminating germs in the trucks,” Burroughs said.

Woodfork fully supported bringing more food trucks to Denton.

“I’d love to be open for them,” Woodfork said. “More pedestrians would be open to them as well.”

Gas well drillingDurrance said more scientific

study was needed to determine the

effects of gas well drilling. Burroughs said that the drilling

industry had implemented greener practices and should abide by those.

Woodfork suggested more envi-ronmentally friendly practices.

Convention centerDurrance said the proposition

of building a convention center in Denton was speculative, but that it should “account for 5,000 people and make sure it benefits the city.”

Burroughs said the possible building should be a public and private partnership and that having the center would be “a huge asset to the city.”

Woodfork was “totally against” the convention center and said the city “must be fair to our current hotels and increase their occu-pancy.

The candidates addressed other issues such as homeless-ness, close-session meetings, city code of ethics, tree preservation, business-friendly practices and annexation.

As the semester draws to a close, students are beginning to register for the summer and fall, going to advising meetings and choosing classes with the best times and professors. To ensure they get the best professors, some may use RateMyProfessors.com.

R a t e M y P r o f e s s o r s .com is the biggest online website for profe s sor ratings with more than 13 million student-generated comments and ratings. It has ratings for more than 7,500 schools and more than 1.5 million professors from colleges and univer-sities across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, according to the RateMyProfessors website.

RateMyProfessors.com allows students to rate their professors on a 1-5 scale in four categories: easi-ness, helpfulness, clarity and rater interest. Students can also rate how much the textbook was used in the course and include comments on the professor and course. After all the ratings are collected, each professor is given an overall number assessment.

“ I a l w a y s u s e RateMyP rofessor s ; it ’s helped me out so much,” i nt e r n a t ion a l s t u d ie s senior Dylan Lee said. “I didn’t f ind out about it until my junior year. I wish I would have found it sooner. I went back to

Denton’s small-town credi-bility recently got a boost after being named one of 307 small towns nominated for Best of the Road’s “2012 Best Small Town in America,” sponsored by travel map publisher Rand McNally and USA Today.

According to the Best of the Road website, the two sponsors teamed up to create a commu-nity of road travelers reviewing the best stops on America’s high-ways and byways.

Best of the Road publicist Jessica Parker said after the search has been narrowed down, teams made up of amateur travelers will be sent across the country to check out locations in each of their assigned cities. Each team will document its expedition and present it to compete for the top prize. The team with the best presentation will win $10,000.

As of Tuesday night, Denton was holding down the No. 1 spot with more than 530 votes spread across five categories: “Most Fun,” “Friendliest,” “Best for Food,” “Most Beautiful” and

The semester is drawing to a close, and the summer holds potential promises of long road trips and cross-country vacations for many students. However, as gas prices near record highs, those students may have to rethink their plans.

Terry Clower, associate director of UNT’s Center for Economic Development and Research, said that gas prices are projected to reach $4 a gallon, at least in part because inter-national relations with Iran are becoming more strenuous as the oil-rich nation ramps up its nuclear program.

Because the U.S. relies heavily on oil suppliers abroad, consumers have no real control over the fluctuation in prices, Clower said.

“Oil is traded on a world market, so even if we produce more oil domestically, the price we pay will still be determined by global supply and demand char-acteristics,” Clower said.

Candidates in the upcoming presidential election are likely to emphasize the need for domesti-cally produced oil, said Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha, assistant professor of political science.

He said that as gas prices rise, politicians like Mitt Romney will take the stance of increased drilling and decreased “rep tape” regulations on drilling.

For UNT’s large number of commuter students, higher gas prices could mean looking for less expensive alternative trans-portation.

Broadcast junior Jared Rodriguez takes the DART train roundtrip from Denton to

Record high gas prices awaitstudents this summer

McKinney every day.Although his travel time is

longer, Rodriguez said saving money is more important than time and sleep to him.

Clower, who has researched current oil prices and historic trends, said that if commuter students travel 30 miles to school, five days a week with a relatively fuel-efficient car, then an average student would spend about $5 extra a week.

“Don’t panic. Take a look at the real cost of increasing gas prices. Buy your coffee at Dunkin’ instead of Starbucks to make up that difference,” Clower said.

The big question on the minds of those who rely on fuel to get around is how long the trend of

higher gas prices will continue.Barring significant economic

disruptions, high numbers will stay steady at gas stations across the nation, Clower said.

Eshbaugh-Soha said drivers should not only seek other small alternatives to fit fuel into their budget, and urges students to not be swayed by promises of polit-ical candidates, but to listen and form their own opinions.

Despite all the commotion, Clower said higher gas prices do not mean the end of the world.

“Most of us can find a way to fit this in our budgets by spending a little less elsewhere,” Clower said. “For a long summer semester, that’s less than $100. Getting finished with school is worth way more than that.”

“Most Patriotic.” Bardstown, Ky., and Murray, Ky., were following with 390 and 378 votes, respec-tively.

Development and family studies senior Bethany Jackson said Denton should win the contest because it stands out from other Texas towns and has its own unique small town vibe.

“People are way more accepting here,” she said. “You can go to church or walk around campus without shoes on, and it’s not considered weird.”

Merchandising senior Vernon Jackson said one of the great things about Denton is that while it is growing and evolving, it maintains a small-town atmo-sphere.

“There’s always something going on, like 35 Denton or the Fair on the Square,” he said. “It’s an old town that attracts lots of young people.”

look at previous professors, and all the students’ ratings said things I had to learn the hard way.”

U N T ’ s s e c t i o n i n RateMyProfessors includes 2,286 professors. Susan Bryza, a lecturer in teacher educa-t ion a nd ad m i n ist rat ion department, has looked at her profile several times and thinks the website is a valu-able resource.

“Some students hate you and some students love you, and before the SETE there really wasn’t any other way to find out your students’ opin-ions,” Bryza said. “Everyone has a voice, and I think they should be able to express it. Reading my ratings also helps me figure out what I’m doing right and what I’m doing wrong—if there’s a pattern in the wrongs, I should change my ways.”

But even with its popularity, some students and professors are skeptical.

“I don’t think it is a valid way of choosing classes,” said Rania Salman, a teaching fellow in the teacher education and administration depart-

ment. “The rating could be based on one bad experience. It could even be a non-student rating the professors.”

Some ratings could be based on one bad exam grade or an overly large course load, not on the professor’s personality or teaching habits—it could be the student’s fault, pre-psy-chology sophomore Shelbie Nix said.

A controversial feature is the “hotness” rating, which is occasionally included on professor’s profile. What it means is that the professor is “hot,” and whenever you see their name it will have a chili pepper beside it.

“I can see how the hotness rating can be funny, but to me it’s inappropriate and not so funny,” Salman said.

After MTV Networks and mtvU bought the website in 2007, they added two features: a rebutta l feature, which allows professors to address some of the comments, and “Professors Strike Back,” a v ideo feature that a l lows professors to address specific ratings and comments they’ve received.

CHICAGO — George Harrison was recording steadily at the studio in his English country estate until nearly the day he died in 2001.

“He loved to record, he was always doing more and more demos at night,” says his widow, Olivia Harrison. “But he’d always say, ‘I’l l never finish them. I’ll have to give them to (producer) Jeff Lynne (to finish).’ He knew he was going to be in his garden in the daytime, so they wouldn’t get done. But he was discov-ering the singer-songwriter thing again and really doing a lot of recording. He was just getting to the point of getting some sessions together. Sadly, time ran out.”

Now, Olivia Harrison and a few t r usted col labora-tors, including Giles Martin, the son of Beatles producer George Mart in, are going t h r ou g h t he g u it a r i s t ’s massive archive and bringing the best of it to the public.

The custodian’s English is spotty, and he never gradu-ated from high school, but his daughter attends UNT and his favorite author is Victor Hugo, translated into Spanish.

He works at the university because his employment provides opportunities for his family and allows him to work toward his own high school diploma through the President’s EDGE program, a year-old program designed to educate UNT staff to earn their GEDs.

“This program is about second chances,” said program grad-uate assistant Brian Stewart, a secondary education master’s student. “We are aware that many of our participants have either lost opportunities or put their fami-lies’ needs ahead of their own as they have tried to pursue their educational goals. The President’s EDGE program is dedicated to building our community from within, and we want to make every available opportunity for the unnoticed that are behind

Booths, informational flyers, kosher food, games and even a hookah pipe were all included at the Israel Fair on the campus green, sponsored by many organizations both on and off campus.

Hospitality management senior Alycia Robertson, presi-dent of North Texas Hillel, said the Jewish student organization partnered with various pro-Israel groups and the Multicultural Center to celebrate Israel Independence Day on campus.

“We have information on study abroad, Jewish life on campus, and fun Israeli games and activities,” she said. “This is an annual festival to promote Israeli Independence Day.”

The celebration itself typi-cally consists of free food and entertainment brought by Jewish and Israeli organizations on campus.

“We just keep building on what we have and making it better,” Robertson said. “The festivities have gotten bigger as time goes on.”

Robertson said the fair is held to honor Israel’s indepen-

dence and to offer information to students who do not have much background information on the country.

“I think that when people are unsure about something they’re hesitant to ask questions, so we provide a welcoming event to get to know a great country with a great democracy and promote the positive image that Israel has,” she said.

Rabbi Geoffrey Dennis,

adjunct faculty with Jewish Studies Program who has been assisting with the Israel Fair for nine years, believes that Israel receives negative attention from the news and that the country is often misrepresented.

“Israel is a shining example of a democratic, open society in a part of the world that sorely lacks those desirable kinds of societies,” he said.

Pre-social work freshman

Michelle Rosenthal, a member of Hillel, said that the goal of Israel Fair is to promote what life in the country is about and inspire a more positive attitude towards it.

“Israeli citizens are just like us and happen to get a lot of negative media attention, but that doesn’t make them bad,” she said.

Pre-psychology freshman Shani Ashkenazy, also a member

of Hillel, has personal ties to Israel because her family is from the country and she carries dual citizenship in America and Israel.

“It really does mean a lot to me that we’re trying to portray a positive image of Israel. I think it was a good cultural experi-ence for the other students,” Ashkenazy said.

Next year as chair of the Israel Fair, Ashkenazy hopes to improve the organization of the event.

“Next year I hope to start getting the food organized sooner because I feel like we were cutting it a little short,” Ashkenazy said.

Apart from organizing the event, Ashkenazy believes that Israel Fair gave insight into the country of Israel and offered entertainment for students and faculty on campus.

“I’m really proud of how well the fair worked out this year, and we all made a really good team, and I hope that next year is just as good or even better,” she said.

Rosenthal agreed. “It’s not meant for people to

pick sides. It’s nice to see some positive experience at the fair celebrating Israel Independence Day,” she said.

PHOTO COURTESY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXASBrian Stewart, a graduate assistant in the teacher education and administration department, did extensive marketing and promoting for the President’s EDGE program and works with some of the participants.

The first in what is projected to be a series of recordings is due out May 1, “Early Takes: Volume 1” (UMe), a collec-tion of mostly acoustic demos documenting the early days of Harrison’s solo career. It

will accompany the release on DVD and Blu-Ray of Martin Scorsese’s 2011 Ha r r ison documentary, “Living in the Material World.”

“Early Takes” focuses on the era around the guitarist’s

1970 solo debut, “All Things Must Pass,” including demos or early takes of the title song, “My Sweet Lord,” “Behind That Locked Door,” “Awaiting On You All,” “Run of the Mill” and “I’d Have You Any Time”

(cowritten with Bob Dylan). Another gem is an acoustic version of the then-decade-old Everly Brothers hit “Let It Be Me.”

I n t h e d o c u m e n t a r y, producer Phil Spector says he was stunned to find Harrison had “hundreds” of unreleased tracks when the two began working on “All Things Must Pass.” And perfectionist that he was, Harrison left behind alternate versions of count-less songs. Among the docu-mentary’s bonus footage is a scene showing Giles and George Ma r t in seated in front of a mixing board with Harrison’s son, Dhani. They pull up a version of Harrison’s Beatles hit “Here Comes the Sun” and play a previously unheard guitar solo by the songwriter.

“I never even knew about that,” Dhani Harrison remarks as he hears his father’s guitar-play ing pour through the speakers.

Funded by the UNT President’s office, EDGE (Employee Directed General Education) mentors 35 students who are university employees –janitors, groundskee-pers, dining servers – who never graduated from high school and hope to earn their GED.

Five tutors, including Stewart, lead eight free classes a week in subjects ranging from English as

a second language to math. The classes are hosted in Marquis Hall at varying times to accom-modate work schedules. Stewart was hired in August to market the program and recruit participants, which he did through in-person contact and by going directly to his target audience.

“We knew that for many promo-tions employees would need such certification, and we wanted to help them achieve those roles,” Stewart said. “However, we real-

ized that we had employees that had technical as well as univer-sity degrees from foreign coun-tries that needed language assis-tance. With this new information we increased our scope and thus increased our participant enroll-ment.”

Students are split into groups based on their levels of under-standing of English, reading, writing and math, determined by a test given upon acceptance into the program. These groups

learn together and often work together.

“They’re building a commu-nity through this,” program director Carol Revelle said. “When they feel safe together, they feel safer taking risks in learning together. This program also tries to respect our students’ experiences and their say in what they’re learning.”

The goal is to get these students through the program in three years, but completion varies based on entry-level skills. Classes are based off curriculum Revelle once used as a remedial reading high school teacher, although adjustments are made to the material to reflect the maturity of her new students. No one has completed the relatively new program, and to protect their privacy, participants were not available to appear in this story.

“We work off a growth, not deficit, model,” Revelle said. “We don’t say, ‘You don’t have these things, you need to work on them.’ They’re learning in a real, authentic way. It’s really been a fun and rewarding program.”

The UNT men’s basketball team found a replacement for Johnny Jones on Tuesday, naming former Marquette assistant Tony Benford as its 17th head coach. Benford takes the job with plenty of experience, being a part of 14 postseason teams in his career. How far did Marquette advance in the NCAA Tournament last season with Benford as its assistant coach?

Hint: The team lost to Florida 68-58 after winning two tournament games.

Mean Green Trivia

Brett MedeirosSenior Staff Writer

2001 was a big year for the Mean Green Athletic Department. The university moved to the Sun Belt Conference, Rick Villarreal took the reins of the UNT Athletic Department and Johnny Jones became the UNT men’s basket-ball team’s head coach.

Jones ended his tenure at UNT when he was introduced at his alma mater Louisiana State as the men’s basketball head coach April 16 after 11 seasons with the Mean Green. He left UNT as the second-winningest coach in program history, with a 190-146 record.

In the four years before Jones’ arrival, UNT averaged five wins a season under Vic Trilli, who coached the team from 1997 to 2001.

Jones could not be reached for comment.

“Part of my review of Johnny was that it was obvious he could handle a basketball team, and you could see he was going to be a leader. He just needed the opportunity,” Villarreal said. “We knew what we were getting when we brought him to Denton.”

For the first five years under Jones, the Mean Green averaged 12.6 wins per season, but it only

The No. 56 Mean Green tennis team brought home the Sun Belt Conference Championship for the second time in three years Sunday. Now the team sets its sights on the NCAA tournament.

“We are going to celebrate [the SBC Championship], enjoy this for a few days, and then we are going to get ready,” head coach Sujay Lama said. “Now our expectation is not to just win a championship, but to make a run in the NCAAs and to make noise nation-ally, and this is a good enough team that we can do that.”

The Mean Green will find out its NCAA Tournament first round opponent at 4 p.m. May 1. The tournament will begin May 10, as the team hopes to be more successful than it was two years ago when Tulsa beat the Mean Green 4-2 in the first round.

On Monday, the confer-ence named Lama the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year. The team’s 18 wins this season was its most since the 1984-1985 season.

The Mean Green capturing the SBC Championship means a lot to the program, but it means even more to the university as a whole, Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said.

“It’s just another step in showing that we can compete in the country in everything that we do,” he said. “I think it makes a statement that we are making an investment and it’s paying off.”

UNT looks back on season, sets sights on NCAA playoff

Jones leaves behind an untouchable legacy

Tennis

Men’s Basketball finished with a w inning r e c or d i n Jones’ f irst year in 2002.

“ W h e n he took over this program, we were not considered a good basketball school. It was hard to get recruits here, and overall people had no interest in the team,” Villarreal said. “Johnny had some rough years and when I hired him, I knew we had to hang in there, and soon enough, things started to click.”

After going 63-78 in his first five seasons at UNT, Jones and the team started to become the program Villarreal had envi-sioned when he hired Jones.

In 2006, UNT started a string of five consecutive 20-win seasons that included two Sun Belt championships, two NCAA Tournament appearances and one of the top home records in the Sun Belt.

“I wish the very best to him. He was a father figure to all of us,” freshman Tony Mitchell said. “We kind of knew that him leaving was coming. He left a great legacy here, one of the best North Texas will ever have. Now we just need to focus on the offseason.”

Over the course of the season, UNT faced seven nationally ranked opponents, emerging victorious in three of those matches.

UNT cracked the national rankings at No. 61 in February and climbed to No. 40 by early March, the highest national ranking in program history.

“We had a lot of ups and very few downs,” Lama said.

Despite the 15 regular season wins, associate head coach Jeff Maren calls the 4-3 loss to Wichita State on March 17 the key moment

of the season.“The loss at Wichita was really

very important in the scheme of things because it helped us to retool and refocus,” Maren said. “Even though we lost the match, it was really an eye-opener.”

After the loss to the Shockers, the Mean Green won its next seven straight, including the three SBC Tournament matches.

“We want to win, we are going to win, we are going to fight and put our best effort,” junior Ilona Serchenko said.

• Recruited the nation’s No. 31 recruiting class last off-season

• In the 2009-2010 season, Jones helped lead UNT to a school-record 24 wins.

• On Jan. 28, Jones picked up his 200th career win against the Arkansas State Red Wolves

Mean Green

Jones’ introduction at LSU came just a week after Mitchell announced he would forgo the NBA Draft to return to UNT for his sophomore season.

Mitchell has until Sunday to decide whether to enter the NBA Draft.

Villarreal said he thinks people will look back at the Johnny Jones era as one of the best basketball eras in UNT history.

“It was a blessing to have him as a coach. One of the best I ever had,” junior guard Brandan Walton said. “There are no hard feelings at all. I think everyone was sad to see him leave, but at the same time, we’re happy for him. He made us a respectable program.”

Allen comfortable as leader

With age comes experience, and that’s what UNT’s volleyball team is looking for from senior setter May Allen.

Volleyball head coach Ken Murczek looks to Allen to fill important leadership roles on the court as a setter and off the court as the team’s lone senior.

“Just by her position, it’s natural to look at her as a leader,” Murczek said. “She’s taken some steps to mold into a leader.”

At 5-feet-8-inches tall, Murczek likes to joke that Allen’s not too tall but has a big heart.

“It’s been one of my most enjoyable semesters coaching, and that’s a huge tribute to the team,” Murczek.

Murczek said he really started to notice the leader Allen was becoming when the team came back from winter break in January.

“She came back and kicked everyone’s butt,” Murczek said. “The kid wants to play. She’s passionate and driven.”

Allen transferred to UNT in 2011 after spending two years at Dallas Baptist. She played in 20 of 34 games in the fall.

“It’s not just me. There are other leaders, like [sophomore] Eboni [Godfrey], [freshman] Liz [Powell] and [sophomore] Addason [Lamb],” Allen said. “The freshmen have so much court experience, but in the locker room, they look up to me.”

In her first season with the Mean Green, Murczek played her as a defensive player – a role just as important as a setter – in 45 sets, but now she’s back to setting during the offseason this spring.

Before her time at Dallas Baptist, Allen played at James Madison High School in San Antonio. She displayed a leader-ship that made her team captain her junior and senior years.

“At DBU, I came in as the only setter, so I was put in to a leader role,” Allen said. “But I was always a quiet leader, and the coach at DBU taught me how to be vocal leader.”

Her UNT teammates notice how vocal she is now.

“She’s one of those people you can depend on no matter what,” Godfrey said. “When everyone’s talking in a group and there’s a lull, she spouts in with a hilar-ious remark.”

The senior doesn’t want to just be remembered for her witty

remarks. She has big plans for the program, after the team went 17-17 in her first season at UNT.

“I just want to leave a legacy,” Allen said. “We have the people to change it and get the recogni-tion. I think a lot of UNT athletes feel the same way.”

NT Daily Edboard: Nods and Shakes

Neilsen doesn’treflect shows’

popularity

Revenue ads should be used for

educational TV

Staff Editorial

Columns

Today’s nods and shakes will focus on last night’s Denton Mayoral Debate, in which current candidates Neil Durrance, Donna Woodfork and incumbent mayor Mark Burroughs fielded questions from a panel of jour-nalists and the audience. Some issues went comprehensively addressed, and others felt purposefully rushed. The Edboard will address both.

Nod: Discussion on construc-tion of proposed convention

center

The idea for a center has been thrown around for the city in conjunc-tion with UNT and the developer

O’Reilly Hospitality Management LLC, but many local hotel owners believe it would detract from their business.

Durrance and Burroughs were both quick to acknowledge that the hotel and convention center was still nothing more than an idea. However, both believed that if we go forward with the building of the center it could provide serious economic returns for the city.

Woodfork, however, believed that because of the planned expansion for Highway I-35, construction of that magnitude wouldn’t work, and we should revisit the issue in five years or so. She also believes that we should take better steps to encourage busi-

ness at local hotels. The presence of clash and the

honest difference in opinion earned the debate surrounding this issue a nod from the Edboard.

Shake: Debate over regulating gas drilling

Many have raised concerns about the future of gas well drilling in Denton. As Denton County sits on top of the Barnett Shale Deposit, tons of money could be made from drilling, but safety concerns still surround the issue.

The only person that seemed truly interested in discussing gas well

drilling in Denton was Durrance. He said his primary concern was to make sure that when regulating gas drilling, the safety of citizens was the highest priority and generating profit was the last.

Burroughs and Woodfork, on the other hand, were a bit more “political” in their responses. Burroughs main-tained that the industry representa-tives should be left in control because they best know the industries’ green standards. In other words, he believes in the status quo.

The Edboard feels this problem deserved more clash between candi-dates earning the debate around this issue a shake.

A few years ago, my family received a card in the mail from Neilsen, the company behind the ratings that are so integral when it comes to the cancellation or renewal of televi-sion shows. We were asked to record our television-watching habits for a week–what we were watching, when we watched it and for how long. After the week was over, we sent the report back and hoped for the best for our favorite shows.

According to its website, Neilsen currently measures more than 40 percent of the world’s television-viewing habits. Its ratings are often cited when television shows are being discussed, especially during hiatuses when fans watch anxiously to see if their shows will survive to see a new season or if they’ll be left ques-tioning a cliffhanger season finale forever. Ratings are important, fans are told. Tune in, or your show may disappear.

Yet despite their mythic impor-tance, shows have survived with low Neilsen ratings before. Creative teams of struggling shows often call upon a loyal fan base to campaign for the show’s renewal through online petitioning and sending letters to producers and the network. Sometimes fans and the show runners work together. Recently, the cast of “Community” – which has middling ratings but a strong following online –worked with CollegeHumor.com to film an in-character “Save Greendale” PSA as part of the #sixseasonsanda-movie campaign created in response to an undetermined midseason hiatus. After the hiatus ended, “Community” had the best ratings of NBC’s Thursday night lineup the week of March 30, according to the

Hollywood Reporter. Even shows that fail by Neilsen

ratings standards can be kept alive by a strong fan base. “Arrested Development” struggled in the ratings despite critical acclaim and was canceled by Fox in 2006. Five years later, in late 2011, online steaming service Netflix announced that it had struck a deal with the show’s creators to film new episodes, which will start appearing online in 2013, according to the New York Times. Response to the news had fans on the Internet buzzing with happiness.

If shows that don’t deliver by Neilsen ratings standards can be kept alive through Internet campaigns and simple love from fans, why are the ratings still so vital when it comes to measuring the success of shows?

The numbers don’t reflect the crit-ical acclaim or viewer loyalty of a show. Perhaps those in charge of cancelation and renewal should start looking beyond the numbers to the people watching before making their decisions.

Once upon a time there was some-thing called “educational televi-sion,” which harnessed the tech-nological marvel of a new medium to provide children and adults with edifying programming uncorrupted by advertising.

Today, public radio and televi-sion continue to devote more atten-tion to educational programs than commercial broadcasters do, but they also seek to entertain viewers of all ages with features – such as British sitcoms, quiz shows, animal adventures and rock ‘n’ roll retro-spectives – that duplicate those on commercial stations.

And the programming is punc-tuated by corporate “sponsorship statements” that are advertisements by another name.

Given these changes, a federal appeals court decision last week allowing public stations to air polit-ical and campaign advertisements is not that dramatic a development. Last week the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, by a 2-1 vote, struck down on First Amendment grounds a congressional ban on such adver-tising, while upholding a prohibition on ads by profit-making compa-nies.

Under Supreme Court precedents, restrictions on free speech by feder-ally licensed broadcasters must be “narrowly tailored to further a substantial governmental interest.” In this case, the asserted interest was Congress’ desire to preserve educational programming on public stations.

In the court’s main opinion, Judge Carlos T. Bea concluded that Congress had good reason to worry that the lure of revenue

from ads for commercial products might induce public broadcasters to replace educational program-ming with fare more likely to garner higher ratings.

But Bea sa id t here wasn’t “substantial evidence in the record before Congress” to suggest that children’s and other educational programming would be similarly endangered by a station’s accep-tance of political ads. (He ridiculed the notion that a station eager for political ads might air a cartoon in which Mitt Romney or Barack Obama fought crime alongside Superman or Batman.)

One can accuse the court of not giving proper deference to Congress’ desire to keep public broadcasting ad free.

But even if this case had been resolved differently, the notion of public television as a safe harbor from advertising would be a quaint one. In his concurring opinion, Judge John T. Noonan Jr. wrote: “As a viewer of ‘Jim Lehrer NewsHour’ and its successor, I have seen announce-ments that to my mind are ads.

For example, I have viewed Charles Schwab’s message, ‘Talk to Chuck’ _ it is not about Chuck’s golf game.” From “Talk to Chuck” to “Vote for Barack” isn’t that big a leap.

In both cases, one would hope that the proceeds from such adver-tising would be used to defray the cost of the educational program-ming that is still more common on public stations than on their commercial counterparts.

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
