UNT is home to thousands of computers, some of them faster and bigger than others. They are dwarfed, however, by Talon, UNT’s largest supercom-puter and multimillion-dollar investment into becoming a national research university.

Talon is a col lection of 1,792 computer processors combined into a 22-foot-long, 6–foot-high stack. It sits on the fifth f loor of the General Academic Building, where it has been humming away since January.

“Anyone who can call them-selves a research university has a cluster like this or bigger,” said Trent Geerdes, the system administrator of UNT’s high performance computing.

The $2.2 million system that includes and supports Talon is designed to crunch

numbers and spit out calcu-lations as quickly and accu-rately as possible. This allows faculty and graduate students in the research fields to solve problems on a microscopic scale or smaller where the math is too complex for ordi-nary figuring.

“There are certain algo-rithms that you cannot solve by hand,” said Shivraj Karewar, a material science and engi-neering graduate student. “Even computationally, the calculations are very inten-sive. Talon is a tool that solves them for us.”

Karewar and his colleagues have been working with Talon to conduct atomistic simula-tions of metals such as gold, copper and nickel. Basically, he is trying to find the breaking point of these metals on a minute scale where individual atoms can be studied.

“It is like taking a rubber band and stretching it to its max,” Karewar said.

The Search Adv isor y Committee’s process for finding candidates to become UNT’s next president halted Tuesday morning as Lee Jackson, UNT System chancellor, announced that he will nominate V. Lane Rawlins as president of UNT for the next two years.

Rawlins is serving his one-year interim term as presi-dent. Since the beginning of the semester, Rawlins has become more enthusiastic about the spirit and people of UNT, Jackson said.

“He has impressed the people he works with on and off campus with his perspec-tive, his highly relevant expe-rience at several other univer-sities and the careful planning he brings to all the major proj-ects that fall under a university president,” he said.

The Board of Regents will chose whether to accept the nomination Friday.

Rawlins acknowledged that he enjoyed being president and told Jackson he would be willing to stay for an extended period of time.

Over the next two years, the university will continue to move toward its goals based on the four planning coun-cils: capital projects, enroll-ment, finance and image, Jackson said.

One institution. “A journey of a thousand miles

begins with a single step,” Jackson said.

Special events coordinator Laurea Dunahoe believes both Rawlins and former president Gretchen Bataille have strong leadership skills. The major difference between them is their

approach to change, she said.“Dr. Rawlins builds on what

exists whereas Dr. Bataille was a change agent,” she said. “He’s a strong implementer, improves upon the issue already in place and boils it down.”

Dunahoe believes Rawlins is empowering and an effective leader.

“He is an encourager and he tells his employees, ‘That’s a great idea. I think you can do it,’” she said.

Rick Villarreal, athletics director, is excited to have a pres-ident who is involved with the university’s sports.

“He has impressed

the people he works with.”

Players UNT Will Count On in 2011

Josh White:The senior guard was

tied for the team lead in scoring with 14.5 points per game last season and ranks second in team history with an 85.1 free-throw percentage. He led the team in minutes played per game and ranks 11th in school history with 1,244 career points.

Tristan Thompson:UNT’s other senior guard

tied White for the team lead in scoring and owns a career 38.5 three-point shooting percentage. Thompson showed what he’s capable of when he scored 28 points against Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Kansas State last season.

George Odufuwa: The senior for ward

was one of 20 players in the country to average a double-double when he averaged 11.5 points per game and 10.7 rebounds per game last season. Odufuwa’s rebounding averages were high enough for him to be ranked 13th in the country in rebounds per game.

that playoff.Head coach Johnny Jones

has built an elite program from scratch, which means the road to another confer-ence title won’t be an easy one.

Games against Texas Tech and Kansas are the obvious challenges, but a handful of other contests will test the Mean Green’s menta l and physical abilities.

“This is the type of team that you want them to have this type of schedule,” Jones said. “These guys need to be challenged early and see if they can handle adversity. Our goal is to just be the best we can be by season’s end.”

Rice played UNT close last season, Louisiana State made a final four appearance five years ago, UT-Arlington took UNT to two overtimes last

year and Sam Houston State made the big dance a season ago.

UNT’s out-of-conference schedule is much harder than it was last season, so securing its fourt h-stra ight 20-w in season won’t be so simple.

Role Players Ready To Step Up

Everyone knows the All-Sun Belt stars on the team: senior guards Josh White and Tristan Thompson and senior forward George Odufuwa.

“We need ever ybody to step up and have confidence in each player of this team,” Oduf uwa said. “You don’t know what can happen over the course of a season, so it’s important that all of us bring our best effort.

“He’ll make us better and be more involved than the other two presidents I’ve worked with to the point that he’ll make sure as an institution we’re doing things the right way,” he said.

Rawlins is experienced in leading a university, deputy provost Celia Williamson said.

“This appointment is a compli-ment to his good work and an endorsement of UNT to grow not only in capacity, but toward its goals,” she said.

Rawlins said spending time with students, whether it’s slipping into the back rows of concert halls or speaking at a meeting, has been his favorite part about UNT.

“Creating an environment full of excellence will change their life and make them more successful,” he said. “That’s what it’s all about, trying to get all the moving parts

going in the same direction.”Student interaction with the

administration has become more apparent since Rawlins’ presidency, said Mercedes Fulbright, vice president of the Student Government Association.

“He’s always making sure he’s responding to the comments and feedback from students,” she said. “I know we all trust him in what he’ll do in the next two years.”

Junior forward and transfer Alonzo Edwards spent time playing for Big 12 competitor Nebraska and will immediately help an already strong UNT front-court.

Players returning from injuries are also poised to make an impact, as senior guard Dominique Johnson started for the Mean Green two years ago and junior forward Kedrick Hogans already ranked third in school history in blocks.

Sophomore forward Jacob Holmen and sophomore guard Alzee Williams are expected to improve from last year.

Holmen stands tall at 6-feet-8-inches and can run with almost anyone, while Williams played near the end of important games for his defense last year.

Coach Jones will sometimes remove his entire starting lineup at the same time for his reserves.

Expectations Are There, But Players Don’t Care

The Sun Belt coaches’ unani-mous selection of UNT to win

the West divi-sion of the Sun Belt is just one example of the high expecta-tions awaiting t he Me a n Green.

Showing up on top-25 mid-major polls a nd bei ng e x p e c t e d to win the c on ferenc e by a handful of magazines, this may be the Mean Green’s best shot to go further than it ever has before – advancing in the NCAA Tournament.

“We’re all excited to start up a new season and itching to get out there and play,” White said. “We’ve had some great practices to start the year, and I think we have too much chemistry and experience to get in our own way mentally.”

Last season, the Mean Green was chosen to win the West divi-sion, and it answered the call by doing just that.

Overshadowed by the groups of anti-abortion activists, a group of freshmen interns worked a table of students’ complaints written on Post-It notes.

The complaints will give the Student Government Association some things to work on.

“It’s like a collage of students’ needs,” said Justin Wood, pre-psychology freshman and intern. “These are mostly just things we can change and things to do different.”

The association has orga-nized SGA Wants to Know in the past, but this is the first time it has used notepads, which was a freshman intern idea, Wood said.

The SGA had the complaint table alongside Carts for Cancer, which the senators run. It is a program to raise money for cancer research by taking students anywhere on campus for $1. The group will run Carts for Cancer all week. SGA Wants to Know, however, began Tuesday and ends today.

Most of the complaints were about parking, dorm food and the recent abortion display. Others included “pay orienta-

tion leaders more,” “scholarships for cheerleaders,” “smoke weed in the dorms,” and “don’t close Maple, don’t you dare.” Others were “My adviser doesn’t care about me,” “Kerr needs to be more handicap accessible,” and “Kerr – thoroughly cook food, please.”

The SGA will compile the complaints and make a final graph showing what the main concerns are. The association is the student-led governmental body of UNT.

“This is free speech at it’s best, see what everyone has said,” said Susan Stimmel, an anthro-pology sophomore. “And you can’t expect everything to be fixed, but some will.”

Stimmel also added her input, calling for more gluten-free options around campus.

“Vast majority parking and free speech, some are plain rude,” said Morgan Ray, an applied behavior analysis freshman and SGA member. “‘Free speech is just for students,’ which [was referring to the abortion protest] is just contradictory.”

Wood and Ray added that although important things like parking can’t be fixed by the SGA, they read and document all the issues brought up.

“We can try to put straws in dining halls, but we can’t put in new parking by ourselves,” Ray said. “We can just show the need.”

This Veterans Day, cadets from the UNT Air Force and Army ROTC programs will face off at Discovery Park at their fifth field day.

For four semesters, the programs have been building traditions and camaraderie bet ween the t wo. At 3:30 p.m. Thursday, the cadets will compete in the event. Cadet Capt. Eric Roberts, physical f itness officer for the Air Force ROTC, sees it as a culmination of the efforts and training the cadets have undergone throughout the semester.

“A lot of the work we do builds up to this and the physical fitness test,” Roberts said. “This is the peak — the reward — of all the work we put into physical training each semester.”

Cadet Shelby Henderson, an Army ROTC member, said this will be her f ifth time participating in the once-a-semester rivalry. She said although the event is a great

T h a t purpose is pr e p a r i n g t h e m t o work w it h other parts of the military once they are out of school a nd act ively ser v ing t he country.

“It’s a good way to get young cadets working with other branches,” Henderson said. “It’s good to foster that relat ionship now because each branch is distinct.”

Cadet Capt. Phillip Wilson, publ ic a f fa irs of f icer for the A ir Force ROTC, said

the groups are sometimes called on to work together but usually don’t interact with each other often.

“It kind of takes us away from the day-to-day grind, and we have fun,” Wilson said. “We don’t get to spend a lot of time with them.”

T he detach ment s ta ke turns organizing the event and planning the challenges. Roberts said this year’s events will include ultimate football, a tire toss and an obstacle course at Discover y Park. Although the main prize for winning the competition is bragging rights, the winning detachment will gain posses-sion of a ceremonial saber over the course of the next semester. The losing team com ma nder a lso ha s to wear the opposing branch’s T-shirt, Roberts said.

“It ’s rea l ly about t he friendly competition,” said Cadet Capt. Cameron Lowry, scholarship and enrollment officer for the Army ROTC. “It’s just an opportunity for the cadets to come together.

It breaks up the monotony of their academics and the PT requirements that both programs enjoy.”

For the past four semesters, Air Force has remained unde-feated during the regular field day event. Lowry said Army hopes to end that pattern and has added football to some of its normal training. However, he pointed out, the UNT’s Army ROTC is a younger program, with only 30 to 40 cadets compared to the 80 to 90 in the Air Force program.

“Hopefully, as the program grows, we’ll share in some of the success,” Lowry said.

U l t i m a t e l y, h o w e v e r, Low r y said the event was about ra isi ng awa reness of the Air Force and Army ROTC’s.

“Both programs do exist at UNT and there are opportu-nities with both,” Lowry said. “They’re both great programs for the leadership traits and values they teach and the career opportunities with the Air Force and Army.”

Looking around campus, one might see just as many TOMS shoes on the floor as textbooks on the desks.

While the classic TOMS shoes have grown in popu-larity, new designs including wedges and lace-ups have been selling out in local stores.

TOMS’ slogan “One for One” means for every pair of TOMS shoes purchased, the company gives a needy child a new pair of shoes.

Emily Wiest, owner of La Di Da Boutique on the Denton Square, said she believes the “One for One” factor has a big impact on the shoes’ success.

“It really drives people,” she said. “I think in this economy it really helps people to know that their purchase is helping someone out.”

TOMS has given shoes to 24 countries including South Africa, Rwanda and Ethiopia. As of September, TOMS gave

Coffee filters gliding on the wall in a special pattern create the illusion of flowers floating in the air, capturing a natural flow.

The Recuerdos: Nostalgia on the Periphery exhibi-tion opened Tuesday at the UNT Art Gallery in the Art Building and is based on contemporary Mexican art. The term “recuerdo” refers to an experience or object that brings fond memories of one’s cultural heritage. The exhibit includes multimedia, sculp-tures, photography, videos and 3-D visuals.

Mary Papamichalis, an art history senior and one of the gallery attendants, said she was captivated by the “Line # 7” and “Square #7” art pieces made from laminated lead over wood with water poured on each square. As the water evaporates, it leaves traces on the lead and more water is used once it diminishes.

“It will be different because of the water marks it leaves. It’s like seeing a new piece of art every day even though it’s the same square,” Papamichalis said.

V ictor ia DeCu i r a nd Adriana Martinez, the co-cu-rators of the exhibition, came up with the idea after conver-sations and reminiscences of Mexico, where both were born, DeCuir said.

Her initial motivation was the yearlong Mexican Revolution, and she decided first and foremost to show a slice of contemporary Mexican work and expose

Exhibit captures Mexican heritage

the Denton and UNT commu-nity to international artwork, DeCuir said.

Arnoldo Hurtado, a painting and drawing senior, said he was

drawn to this particular piece as well, reminding him of his heritage.

“I guess it’s very reminiscent because my family is Mexican. In an odd way, it transcends me to the times I had there,” Hurtado said.

The rusting of the metal reminded him of Mexican buildings and the beauty that remains within them, he said.

A cast resin sculpture was

another of Hurtado’s favor-ites.

“These artists know exactly what they’re doing at their level. They ultimately go with one position that represents you as an artist,” Hurtado said.

Miguel Vasquez, a kinesi-

ology freshman, said he was intrigued by Irma Sizer’s witty way of putting together “Everyday Meatloaf,” a mixed-media archival booklet, out of inkjet prints.

The artist made it based on cookbooks and biblical allu-sions, creating a satirical tone since both give instructions, DeCuir said.

“I liked it because you could find diverse meaning within that piece. The picture of Christ usually has a heart in the middle with a crown. Here it had a tomato,” Vasquez said.

It seemed to make an analogy to soul food and how meat-loaf and religion are parts of everyday life, Vasquez said.

The exhibit is open through Dec. 18 and is free. For more information, visit www.gallery.unt.edu.

Strutting down the halls of UNT, fashion merchandising sophomore Rachel Coburn juggles school and modeling as she follows in her mother’s footsteps.

Coburn began modeling at the age of 5, and has loved it ever since.

V ick i Cobu r n, Rachel’s mother, also started modeling at 5 and said she is thrilled Rachel is a second-generation model.

“As a mom you never want to force your kids into some-thing, but she was around it all the time and truly has a passion for modeling, and it’s good to love what you do,” she said. “Modeling just came as a second nature to her. I guess it’s in the genes.”

Susan Huston, fashion coor-dinator and writer for Panache magazine, has more than 30 years of modeling experience and says Coburn has all the right qualifications to be a model.

“She is dependable, her body structure is fit for a model, and she follows instructions well. She has everything that makes her a good model,” she said. “She started modeling for major malls and bridal shows. With the background and expe-rience she has, modeling can always be a backup.”

Huston holds workshops to help young girls become models t hat Coburn was enrolled in and now helps teach.

“I teach the basics of runway and etiquette, help them work on their techniques and just tell them good information that I’d want to know,” she said.

Modeling is ver y t ime-consuming, and the process

for it can take pretty much a whole day, Coburn said.

“I’ll go to a fitting for my clothes and then do hair and makeup, which can take up to four to five hours, but it’s my favorite part because I like getting groomed for free, then finally walk the runway,” she said.

T he r u nway is one of Coburn’s favorite parts of modeling.

“If I’m having the worst day, I can just let it go and stomp it all out,” she said. “I can be whoever I want to be and do anything. If I’m wearing clothes that emulate playful or powerful, I can be that – it’s like acting.”

As passionate as she is about modeling, Coburn said she doesn’t let it get in the way of school.

“School is my No. 1-priority. It always has been. I can’t model forever; as much as I love it to death, I still want my own career,” she said.

In the future, Coburn said she hopes to have her own agency to help girls follow their dreams of becoming models.

“I was lucky enough to have my mom’s help, but even with all the help I had to grow up fast to pursue my dream,” she said. “Modeling isn’t my entire persona. I worked hard to get here, and I want to inspire little girls to show them that you can reach your dreams.”

Fashion merchandising sophomore Rachel Coburn has modeled since she was 5. She also enjoys drawing and playing video games such as “Halo.”

more than 1 million shoes to needy children, according to its website.

La Di Da calls itself the exclu-sive TOMS retailer for Denton.

“We have people come in that have never heard of our store just for TOMS,” said Brooke Haddock, a sociology junior and sales asso-ciate at La Di Da. “We are the only store in Denton that sells TOMS.”

Southern Bliss Boutique, a store in Frisco, sells TOMS wedges,

classic canvas slip-ons and the lace-ups called “Cordones.”

“We only got one color of the wedges in, but we sold them all quick,” said Laura Devore, a Southern Bliss sales associate.

They are getting more wedges next summer, she said.

“I think it [wedges] hits a different customer,” Wiest said. “A lot of people don’t like flats.”

The vegan wrap boots and the Botas high-top shoes are not in local stores but are sold on the TOMS website.

“In magazines I saw the boot ones that wrap around your foot,” said Marina Leonova, a biology junior. “I would wear those, but I don’t like the classic ones because everyone wears them...”

At Sun and Ski Sports in Grapevine Mills Mall, TOMS are the most popular shoe along with Vibram Five Finger shoes, said Mike Black, the store’s area manager. Only the classic and Cordone styles are sold there.

“TOMS are really popular in the first place, so I’m sure everyone will try to conform to the new shoe,” said Michelle Miller, a history junior.

to contribute, starting the last 19 games of last season.

Perhaps senior guard Josh White’s skill from the line was part of the reason the Mean Green pursued him out of high school.

After White came within less than a point of leading the country in free-throw percentage two seasons ago, I’d say it was a likely factor.

One reason UNT won 13-straight contests at the end of last season was this strategy implemented by Johnny.

Close contests against Florida Internationa l, Denver and Louisiana-Monroe came down to free throws, and the Mean Green players rose to the occasion by making the shots that counted.

When important games get close, this team is prepared.

Coach Jones has made it a point to lead a team that knows how to sink its free throws, and the execution of this strategy has been spot-on.

UNT must continue its ways from the line if it has any hope of repeating as Sun Belt Conference champion.

Great teams implement a strategy to help them win and execute it perfectly.

Thanks to the efforts of coach Johnny and the talented players on UNT’s roster, the Mean Green has done just that through its success from the stripe.

technical fouls and defense winning cham-pionships.

O d d l y enough, one facet of the game that is never discussed o n t h e s e programs can make or break the UNT men’s basketball season in 2011.

Plenty of components go into winning, but one key for the Mean Green is the art of the free throw.

Since head coach Johnny Jones joined the team in 2001, success from the line has been a huge priority for UNT.

Players are required to shoot free throws at the end of every practice and can’t leave until they make a

certain number in a row.If you don’t think free throws are

important to this team, consider this: UNT has led the country in free throws made per game for the past two seasons while shooting 72 percent from the line last year. That accounted for 27 percent of the Mean Green offense in 2010.

The bottom line is that UNT lives and dies at the charity stripe, which is good since it’s something it excels. This strategy didn’t come into fruition overnight, as has been evident on and off the court.

When Jones recruits, he’s not looking for the best talent. He wants guys who fit the system best.

A great example is senior guard Shannon Shorter, who was recruited by Jones from Paris Junior College after making 74 percent of his free throws. Shorter didn’t fail

At 7 p.m. tonight, seven months of anticipation and buildup will be replaced with assists and bench players.

Fresh of f a Su n Belt championship and a trip to the NCA A Tournament last season, the UNT men’s basketball team begins its journey to defend its confer-ence t it le when it hosts Arkansas-Monticello in an exhibition game to start the season.

“This team is excited to compete again, and we have a lot of aspirations and goals heading into this season,” head coach Johnny Jones said. “We have a talented group of guys that know our system well and have a great chemistry heading into the new year.”

Winning a school-re-cord 24 games and holding the nation’s third-longest w inning strea k w it h 11 games last season means high expectations for this year’s squad.

The team was unani-mously chosen by the Sun Belt coaches in the confer-ence’s preseason poll to win the West division of the Sun Belt, and three of its players were added to All-Sun Belt Teams.

“We have six seniors on this team with a lot of leader-ship and we’ve been through a lot together,” senior guard Josh White said. “That gives us a huge advantage. No one is really worried about handling expectations on this team.”

Defense has been UNT’s focus in practices leading up to the season, Jones said.

“It’s an area we really have to concentrate on,” Jones said. “We have plenty of guys who are capable of scoring the basketball, but if our defense continues to improve some great things can happen for us.”

Mean Green fans can take comfort from past events, as Jones is 13-0 in exhibition games and UNT is 17-4 all-time in season openers at home.

“Every game is important to us, and even though it doesn’t count we cannot wait to get out there and play,” senior forward George Odufuwa said. “We may not be in midseason form yet, but we are going to take the same approach as we do for any other game.”

Playing at home has meant great things for the Mean Green, which owned a 12-2 home record last season and leads the Sun Belt in home wins since 2006 with 52.

“It’s so great to have a home crowd supporting you and cheering for you,” White said. “Playing in front of our fans is something I always look forward to.”

The game begins at 7 p.m. tonight at the Super Pit.

Friday night, the UNT women’s basketball team went out to see a movie and get pedicures as a way of bonding with one another before the season gets underway. That kind of bond is necessary with the turnover the team has experienced since last season.

“It’s going to be fun,” said women’s basketball head coach Shanice Stephens. “Now we’ve got to take care of business between these lines, and I think that’s where our maturing as a team will really come through.”

The Mean Green lost four players, including last season’s scoring leader Brittney James. Stephens hopes the void left will be filled by the seven new faces she brought in.

“I’ve never had this many new players,” she said. “But it’s a good thing because it’s new people coming from new places, whether they’re junior college transfers or freshmen. I’m just really excited about the influx of talent we have.”

FreshmenThis season, the Mean Green

brought four freshmen onto the team. Each of them played in Wednesday’s 71-69 exhibition loss to Texas Woman’s University.

“I think I played OK,” freshman guard Laura McCoy said of her first game with UNT. “I could have been a little more aggressive, but it was all right.”

McCoy’s tentativeness is common amongst most freshmen, but they will need to grow up quickly, Stephens said.

“I tell [the freshmen] during the second half of the conference schedule ‘You’re a sophomore now because you’ve seen every-body we’re going to face and it’s time for you to do what you do,’” Stephens said.

McCoy, who came to UNT from Flower Mound High School, scored two points and added three rebounds in her UNT debut. The guard will help solidify the back-court, one of the Mean Green’s biggest issues last season.

Stephens was able to sign both McCoy and 6-foot-1-inch freshman guard Ash’Lynne Evans to national letters of intent during last November’s early signing period. Evans impressed against TWU with a double-double, pouring in 11 points and grab-bing 10 rebounds.

“We’ve already gotten to see a little bit of Ash’Lynne, but all the freshmen have the potential to have some breakout games,” Stephens said.

Evans will be in the starting lineup against Stephen F. Austin on Friday.

Freshman guard Desiree Nelson was signed in April. Stephens signed another guard, freshman Trai-ce McCoy, in May. McCoy averaged a double-

double during her senior season with Dunbar High School, which earned her the District 7-4A MVP.

TransfersAfter a solid performance

against TWU, Stephens named junior transfer Alyssa Hankins

the starting point guard for the team’s opener against SFA. The Northern Oklahoma College transfer scored 16 points along with seven assists in 34 minutes.

“I thought I played well for my first time here at this level, but it doesn’t feel well enough if we don’t win,” Hankins said.

However, it’s her seven turn-overs that stuck with her most.

Hankins was ninth last season

in the NJCAA Region II in assists. She decided to transfer to UNT so that her father, who lives in Oklahoma City, would be able to come to more of her games.

Juniors Kasondra Foreman and Jacquelyn Hearne also trans-ferred to UNT from Weatherford College and Panola College, respectively.

“Alyssa Hankins and Kasondra Foreman present with immediate and invaluable perimeter experi-ence that will launch our back-court into the upper echelon of the conference,” Stephens said.

Hearne will add some needed size to the Mean Green’s front-court at the center position.

“Hearne sets us up to be a very good rebounding team this season,” Stephens said.

Stephens expects all three transfers to make an impact because of their experience playing at the collegiate level.

Next for Mean GreenAll of the newcomers will get

the opportunity to play in their second game with UNT when the Mean Green plays its first game of the season, hosting SFA at 7 p.m. Friday at the Super Pit.

Walking into a public rest-room at UNT should not be an adventure.

However, when visiting the bathrooms in multiple halls across campus, including in the General Academic Building and Wooten Hall, you never know what your experience will be like.

Four rules of common courtesy can help make the next person to visit the toilet’s trip a little more pleasant.

1. Remember to flush.No matter what hurry you are

in, when you leave the stall, you should make sure no one has to be subjected to your visit. The rules of conserving water by

not f lushing do not apply when you’re sharing the commode with strangers.

2. Be mindful of where the toilet paper is.

When you grab your backpack or your purse, please don’t launch the TP into the water. It’s a rather unpleasant surprise to swing the door open to find the roll drenched and the bowl blocked. Keep in mind that other people need access to both, and rolls sitting on the dispensers can easily be launched by the careless f lip of a bag.

3. Don’t sprinkle.There’s a little poem that reads,

“If you sprinkle while you tinkle,

be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.” It applies completely to using public facilities. There’s nothing quite so disgusting as feeling something wet as you sit down. Take the time to wipe off the seat so no one has to worry.

4. Dispose of the paper products properly, please.

A friend of mine once posted a picture she took in a Matthews Hall bathroom. In it, stacks and stacks of toilet paper lined the f loor. People who throw away paper towels are equal opportu-nity offenders. Please, only take as much as you need and keep the trash in the cans.

As a bathroom sign says,

“We aim to please. You aim, too, please.”

Note to Our Readers

NT Daily Editorial Board

Rawlins deserves another two years

Socialism has no place today

Editorial

{{{

Campus ChatWhat do you think of President V. Lane Rawlins becoming the permanent president of UNT?

“I like UNT so far. I assume he’s doing a good

job.”

“I think that’s a great idea. He’s done a pretty good job

so far.”

“I think it might be better to have him for a few

years and then re-elect to have him mentor the new

president so he’s not taking the full university cold

turkey.”

On Friday, the UNT Board of Regents should accept UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson’s expected nomination for the permanent UNT president, V. Lane Rawlins.

Rawlins has served as the temporary UNT president since May. In that six-month span, he created four councils to improve the university, showed the students he cares and embraced the goals of UNT.

The Editorial Board supports Jackson’s choice to cement Rawlins as the UNT president.

Past ExperienceBefore coming to Denton, Rawlins, 72, served as the president of

Washington State University from 2000 to 2007 and of the University of Memphis from 1991 to 2000.

He retired from Washington State and came out of retirement to act as UNT president.

While at Washington State, Rawlins highlighted the important impact of research on undergraduate education. He created teams to focus on aspects of that university, much like the four councils he instituted to help UNT grow in the facilities’ quality, the enrollment process, the budgeting priorities and the university’s reputation.

His work at WSU provided him with experience in overseeing the addition of research facilities and beginning new traditions, areas UNT needs direction in.

However, the overall legacy he left there was of caring for students and other Washington State community members, a quality the Editorial Board admires.

During his tenure at the University of Memphis, he gained similar experience with campus growth.

Understanding UNTFrom the beginning of his time at UNT, Rawlins has proven that

he takes his role of president seriously. He has integrated the goal of attaining Tier One status with his hopes for UNT.

Over the summer, Rawlins selected Warren Burggren, the former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, to act as the provost and vice president of Academic Affairs. Burggren has worked for UNT for more than 10 years. By selecting him and others with similar experience, Rawlins showed his desire to surround himself with people who could provide insight into the university.

Phil Diebel, his predecessor, acted as UNT interim president from March 1 to May 14. He took over after Gretchen Bataille, the former UNT president, submitted her resignation in February after she and Jackson disagreed about the direction the university should take.

Rawlins has gained the respect of not only Jackson, but also Rick Villarreal, the UNT athletics director, because of his focus on athletics and its ability to draw money and attention to the university.

This semester, Rawlins also continued the Really, Let’s Talk program, where he listened to student issues and answered ques-tions. As he has said, his favorite part of being UNT president is interacting with students in formal and informal settings.

That sincerity and his pragmatic approach to directing UNT are why the Editorial Board asks the Board of Regents to extend his contract for two more years.

I was walking near the B u s i n e s s B u i l d i n g o n campus when I saw a terrible display. The people working the display were loud and obnoxious; the signs they were hold i ng were ver y offensive. I couldn’t believe UNT would actually allow a group like this to form, but then I reminded myself t hat ever yone, no matter how bizarre or absurd, is a l lowed to assemble. I’m speaking of course about the UNT International Socialist Orga nizat ion. W hat? You thought I was referring to something else?

The Socia l ist club was protesting a pro-life group, with the pro-life side remark-ably bei ng t he one t hat garnered more attention. I just couldn’t understand why there would still be social-ists in this modern world. Socialism has no place in this day and age. It’s been tested t ime and time again, and

every single time it’s failed catastrophically. I say this not out of ideology but out of experience. I’ve lived in a socialist country before.

W here I l ived, the state provided free medical care to its citizens, and the lines at the health clinics were somet imes backed up as far as a mile. People were always in need of care. In fact, there were some I knew who started off just having a little infection. But by the time they could finally reach a doctor, they were already to the point where it was too late, and they were left to wait for death.

I recall seeing one man on a motorcycle collide with a car. His leg was dismem-bered a nd t here w a s a massive amount of blood on the street. Had a wreck such as that happened in America or in another more capitalist country where care is quicker, his life might have

been saved. But over there, there was no hope for him, even if they did stop the bleeding.

Unemployment was at a ridiculous 70 percent. Here in America, we think 9 percent is bad. And so there I was, gazing in awe at the UNT Socialist club while everyone else was working themselves into a tizzy about some pro-life group. Was I really the only one who noticed the Socialists? Look, I’m all in favor of the r ight to free speech, and I have no problem with the campus socialists exercising that r ight. But geez, how many times must an idea be disproven before it can die once and for all? W hen Galileo proved that the Earth revolved around t he sun, people stopped saying the sun went around the Earth.

W hen people bel ieved man could never f ly, they changed when the Wright

brothers built the airplane. Why? Because those notions, doubts and ideas became outdated. To persist in them wou ld be, qu ite si mply, foolish. History, which I’l l leave for the reader to investi-gate, has disproven socialism time and time again. So why do the misguided persist with it? It would be like me starting a “World Is Flat” club.

Hey, you know what? That might not be a bad idea. As a parody of the UNT’s ISO, I encourage anybody who has the time to set up a “World Is Flat” display next to the Socialist stand at every event that they’re at. I mean, since Socialists are all about sharing, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind sharing their space.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
