UNT President V. Lane Rawlins presented the university’s plan to deal with proposed state budget cuts at a special session of the Student Government Association Monday.

Rawlins proposed a Fall 2011 tuition increase of 2.8 percent that would total about $118 for 15 semester hours. The increase would be added to the 3.9 percent tuition increase that was already approved by the UNT Board of Regents last year.

The tuition hike comes at a time when bills proposed in both the Texas House of Representatives and Texas State Senate could cut anywhere from $3.7 to $9.4 million from the general revenue UNT receives from the state. Rawlins said an approximate 3 percent growth in enrollment, when coupled with the addition 2.8 percent increase in tuition, would generate around $7 million in added revenue. Rawlins said without that addi-tional funding, the quality of the university could suffer.

“I think we can survive at that level, but survive is what we’re doing,” Rawlins said. “It means that the reductions are not very big, but the crowding just gets a little worse.”

Rawlins said a 3 percent increase in enrollment is near

Rawlins explains proposed tuition increasethe limit of what the university can handle. One problem Rawlins noted during his presentation was that faculty growth has not kept up with growth of students at UNT, and Rawlins hopes the tuition increases can address. Rawlins said the $7 million would also go to a number of areas the state budget reductions would impact. He sees the increases as

an investment in the quality of education at UNT, he said.

“If we move forward with this 2.8 [percent increase in tuition], we’ll put it right here,” Rawlins said. “We’ll put it into financial aid. We’ll put it into teachers. We’ll put it into space.”

SGA is the student-led govern-mental body at UNT. Tori Kuhn, a senator for the College of Business, said she thinks the university is on the right track with the tuition increase. Kuhn said the increases that UNT students are looking at pale in comparison to those under consideration at other Texas

schools, such as the University of Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.

“They are handling [the cuts] to the best of their ability,” Kuhn said. “Strategically, we’re on the right track. We’re not over-spending. We’re at our bare minimums right now, and the increases that he proposed are definitely going to be for a better UNT.”

Patrick Hopkins, a senator for the College of Arts and Sciences, said UNT’s tuition is one of the lowest in the state. Hopkins also said the state doesn’t provide as much money per student to UNT

as they do at other universities in the state, something Rawlins called on SGA to address when senators speak to the Texas Legislature later this week.

“In this economy, the last thing we want is increased anything — taxes, tuition,” Hopkins said. “But, the state’s just not picking it up, and it’s pretty much our obli-gation as students to see that our university is well-funded.”

Not all students at the meeting were in favor of the tuition increases. Kevin Hayes, a philos-ophy and sociology senior and a member of the International Socialist Organization, raised

his hand during Rawlins’ presen-tation and called into question the size of Rawlins’ three-year-contract. Hayes also questioned the $100,000 the university paid George W. Bush to speak last semester and said such expenses should be the first things that are cut when UNT faces budget cuts rather than considering hikes in tuition.

“I don’t understand why the costs of the budget cuts have to fall on the backs of the students, faculty and staff, and not on the backs of those who are already immensely wealthy,” Hayes said.

“ ... The increases he proposed are

definitely going to be for a better UNT.”

CNN correspondent Soledad O’Brien spoke about her expe-riences pushing for more diverse reporting in the news Friday morning as part of the Multicultural Center’s Equity and Diversity conference.

O’Brien opened the 11th annual conference with a speech that highlighted her journey into the newsroom and her expe-riences with diversity in the media.

“The stories that I do are really about identity,” said O’Brien, who hosts CNN’s “In America” documentaries.

The critically acclaimed series focuses on the lives and accomplishments of Americans from diverse backgrounds that are making a difference in their communities.

“No one really does these stories, but identity is inter-esting to everybody, and we’ve been successful,” she said.

O’Brien began her speech with her story of entering the journalism industr y. After dropping out of the pre-med program at Harvard, O’Brien took an unpaid internship at WBZ-TV in Boston, a position that she said mostly involved removing staples from bulletin boards around the station. As she progressed through the industry, O’Brien said she soon came to discover the power and importance of working in journalism.

“As I grew as a human being, and as I grew as a journalist, what I really began to appre-ciate the most was the oppor-tunity to leverage the power of the position to bring about change,” she said.

O’Brien’s parents are an interracial couple who married

CNN journalist recalls struggles

in 1958. Her mother is black and Cuban, and her father is a white Australian. While the couple lived in Baltimore, O’Brien said, they were forced to get married in Washington, D.C., because, at the time, interracial marriage was illegal in Maryland.

O’Brien said her mother encouraged her and her siblings to hold on to their heritage.

“Her whole point was don’t lose your identity,” O’Brien said. “I think that’s a good message for everybody. It’s not necessarily a black or Latino message. It’s sort of this message of embracing your identity, understanding it, holding onto it and being proud of it.”

O’Brien said America has come a long way since her parents living at the height of segregation. But, she cautioned, there are still professional mine-fields out there. O’Brien said she encountered moments where her race prevented her from getting jobs.

She said her name posed a problem to some employers, who even asked her to change it to something that viewers would find easier to swallow. Other employers told her they only had room to hire one minority staff member.

Anti-racism writer and educator Tim Wise was greeted with a standing ovation Friday night when he spoke as a keynote speaker in the 11th annual Equity & Diversity conference.

“I have not said a thing, and you are all standing,” Wise said. “If that’s all I have to do to get you riled up, this will be easy.”

Wise has spoken in 49 states, on over 600 college campuses, and to communities across the nation on the issues of compar-ative racism and race in educa-tion, mainly white privilege.

White privilege is the idea that white people benefit on the disadvantages of minori-ties. Wise said the issue has been embedded into America’s politics and way of life for decades.

The injuries of racism, he said, have carried on from generation to generation.

“People can’t move on,” Wise said. “We cannot move on because past legacies affect us now.”

Being a white male, Wise said he sometimes receives angr y mail from people misinfor med about his motives.

“Generally, they think I do this for people of color,” Wise said. “They could free themselves from whites. They don’t need my help. But these issues are infecting my community. I’m doing this to survive.”

Wise said racism hasn’t changed since he first started speaking out.

“The conversation has changed a lot,” he said. “When I started, there wasn’t a lot about whiteness. People didn’t talk about how it helps

white people.”The issue has become

more complicated and more important now that children are the target of media, he said.

“We need to teach kids to be media literate,” Wise said. “We need to show kids how to be critical consumers of media.”

Wise said racism and sexism are problems on college campuses, but the problems are behind closed doors.

After the speech, attendees were ushered into the Golden Eagle Suite for a book signing and refreshments. Servers buzzed around with trays, ser v ing food to guests. Groups of people gathered around Wise for pictures and to buy one of his five books.

Director of Multicultural Services Uyen Tran said the Multicultural Center had been planning the event for a year and a half.

Many celebrities and movie stars often change their names to pursue a new identity with spunk or zest in show business. For UNT students who also want to create a new persona, Student Legal Services offers an opportunity to embrace that.

C u r r e nt l y, t he of f ic e provides step-by-step advice on the process of how to file a name change. However, SLS will offer a self-help packet in April as a supplement that will give students the chance to complete this process on their own.

Changing namesKat hr y n McCauley, t he

director of Student Legal Services, said students use the name change service for a variety of reasons.

“Typically what we have is students who really don’t like their names, or have gone by a different name for so many years,” she said.

Instead of going by their first name, some have spent most of their life going by a middle name or nickname and used this process to change it. Those who get divorced and want to

revert back to their maiden name can also use this service, McCauley said.

The processThe name change service

may be easy, but there are fees involved, which are constantly changing, she said.

The court charges a filing fee of about $230.

Several institutions will need to be notified of the name change after it has been approved, including the Texas Department of Public Transportation, UNT, the voter registration office, banks, credit card companies and the Social Security office.

The Social Security number does not change.

“Credit card companies will still send you credit card bills, regardless of what your name is, and same with utilities and everything else. They don’t care who pays the bills.” McCauley said.

“I think it’s a little over the top. I don’t see many reasons that college kids should ever need to change their name,” said Alex France, a hospitality manage-ment junior.

Even though this service is available to all UNT students, the name changing process is not a

frequent occurrence at the SLS. The issues most commonly

handled are landlord/tenant problems, notary services and criminal issues.

Other servicesThe SLS does not represent

students on criminal cases, but does provide advice to students about their legal options and what to expect when going to court.

Within the last year, there has been an increase in the number of students using SLS. They have accommodated the change to make sure no student has a long wait time to see an attorney, McCauley said.

The SLS has two full-time attorneys and a part-time grad-uate assistant who is also a Texas attorney.

“Because the legal service is free, people can go in there and ask questions about anything just to get information,” said Jessica Pittman, a fashion merchan-dising and digital retailing senior. “It meets the needs of everyone in our diverse student body.”

The Office of Student Legal Services is in University Union 324. Its number is 940-565-2614 and walk-ins are accepted Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Wednesday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.


Randy Duncan, the author of “The Power of Comics,” spoke about his book last Saturday in Environmental Science Building 130. The book o� ers students a deeper understanding of the artistic and cultural signi� cance of comic books and graphic novels.

College students across the country are picking up comics in the classroom as part of an educational trend that has now landed at UNT.

St udents a nd facu lt y attended UNT’s first Comics Studies Symposium Friday and Saturday, to highlight the university’s comic-integrated curriculum and hold commu-nity discussions on the power of comics in the classroom. The symposium comes at a time when universities nationwide are pioneering graphic novels and sequential art as a medium for education.

“Comics are fantastic in getting reluctant readers into reading,” said Stephanie Noell, a philosophy and library sciences graduate student. “At the university level, you can take tough concepts and make them interesting and accessible for students.”

UNT is reaching out to other departments in an effort to achieve the same encour-aging student response that three UNT courses have already experienced.

“Because students demanded the class, I could really do what I wanted with it,” said Marshall Amintor of the English faculty. Armintor said classes fill up almost immediately, with a wait list of almost 20 people a semester in some cases.

Speakers at the sympo-sium explained the approach of using comics in classrooms and featured a documentary by

Comics come to UNT classrooms

UNT alumnus Todd Kent. Break out sessions, question and answer panels with UNT professors, and an exhibit from a local comic store owner also gave attendees more information on the use of comics in classrooms.

“It’s so nice to have that academic freedom in the class-room and to get [students] thinking on a different side of their brain. That’s what comics do,” said Elizabeth Figa of the library and information sciences faculty. “Wouldn’t that be wonderful if any department could find a way to try to do that?”

The symposium was the result of graduate students’ and profes-sors’ desires to see more comic-based learning at UNT, and to demonstrate to other universi-ties the power of using comics to change the way students receive information.

“In the last few years, comics have gained immense respect. If you think about it, everything that’s hot in movies stems from comics. It’s such an influential genre that is influencing all forms of art,” Figa said. “Comics are exploding!”

Students and professors from all disciplines came from all over North Texas to discuss their favorite comics, and the genre is shaping how students learn.

“I enjoyed the panel Saturday morning. There was such an interesting array of topics. I enjoyed hearing about all the research in comics, and hearing how so many different disciplines adapted comics into their own majors,” said English graduate student April Murphy.

For a group of about 30 students, Friday afternoons are a time for socializing and learning about the Japanese culture.

The Japanese Culture Organization, or JCO, meets at 4 p.m. on Fridays in General Academic Building 201. The group is focused on sharing Japanese culture with the UNT community.

“For our generation, the world is becoming more globalized,” said Rachel Garton, the co-president and an international studies junior. “JCO helps students understand the culture they may be interacting with.”

Impact on UNTMar y Beth Butler, the

communications director for UNT International, said the group is a great example of students getting involved in international studies.

“It’s really a true sharing of cultures,” she said.

Uyen Tran, the director of organizational development for the Multicultural Center, said groups like the Japanese Culture Organization are vital.

“Any organization like that is important, because it helps educate UNT about a lot of the different communities that are here,” she said.

Ryan Kieser, a biochem-istry senior, said groups like the Japanese Culture Organization are important for diversity.

Whether it’s books about good manners, wild animals, or plants, the Success for Life Through Reading program is increasing childhood literacy throughout North Texas.

The program, established i n 1999, a l low s st udent volunteers to read weekly to preschool-age children. Last year alone, Success for Life Through Reading provided 917 hours of service to children.

“Our volunteers go and read books to the children and then they will conduct a fun activity to reinforce new vocabulary and things like that,” said Amma Cottrell, the literacy coordinator. “It is important for these children to have contact with someone who genuinely cares about their education.”

Success for Life Through Reading has 37 weekly readers that volunteer at one of six preschools in the area. Many of the children the volunteers work with are from low-income families, Cottrell said.

“I know a lot of people w ho love work i ng w it h kids,” said Lauren Sink, an i nterd iscipl i na r y st ud ies

junior. “Success For L i fe Through Reading seems like a wonderful program to do that.”

The program donated 5,324 books to 823 local preschool children last fall, according to the program’s brochure.

“It is important for students to get involved in this program, because it gets the children excited about learning,” said Andrea Mumphrey, an inter-disciplinary studies junior a nd volunteer. “They a re our future and they need to know about reading and learning.”

Ma ny of t he prog ra m’s volunteers are early educa-tion majors, theater majors and Spanish majors. Students of all majors are encouraged to volunteer at the program, Cottrell said.

Students can volunteer for the program by being a weekly reader, a curriculum writer and a grant writer, she said.

“This program provides an opportunity for students to gain skil ls in their f ields,” Cottrell said. “For example, Spanish majors can practice the language in a fun environ-ment, and education majors can learn classroom manage-ment.”

B e s i d e s b a s i c op e r a-tional needs, funding for the program comes from grants, Cottrell said.

A donation of $25 provides a book for 10 children and a donation of $6,000 provides books for an entire semester, according to the program’s brochure.

“They have done research and found that the literature the children are receiv ing from the program are the only books some of the children have in their homes,” said Karenia Holloway, an inter-disciplinary studies senior and volunteer. “As a result, I think this program has a big impact on these children.”

Trying to choose a political agenda from the long list of campus organizations just got a little more difficult.

After being on hiatus for more than a year, the UNT College Democrats is forming aga i n to encou rage a nd educate students on political issues, community service and the upcoming 2012 elec-tion. The organization meets at 7 p.m. every Thursday in Wooten Hall 215.

“We want to get students more politically active, either

locally or on campus. When the election comes up, we are going to start getting people registered to vote, and aware of what’s going on,” said Chris Wilkes, the organization’s treasurer and a psychology and pre-law sophomore.

The organization plans to inform people about the demo-cratic platform, writer letter campaigns to elected officials and encourage full student voter registration, according to the group’s website.

The Col lege Democrats will hand out voter registra-tion cards and encourages its

members to become volunteer deputy registrar — individuals who can legally accept regis-tration cards — to promote voting, said Mary Brown, a political science senior and president of the organiza-tion.

The process of becoming a deputy registar will help students register efficiently and cut down on misplaced cards or cards thrown away, she said.

Fundraising, new T-shirt designs, posters, advertising and gaining control of the Facebook group are just some

of the issues the group is dealing with, Wilkes said.

“We felt that this is an orga-nization that just needed to be restarted back up,” said Travis Trawick, a political science history junior and vice pres-ident. “[And] give voice for people who believe in the democratic ideas.”

B r i t S c hu l t e , a n a r t history and English litera-ture senior, and member of the International Socialists Organization, said she used to be involved with the College Democrats.

On Jan. 29, the UNT men’s basketball team allowed a season-high 80 points in a 13-point victory against the Denver Pioneers.

The Mean Green had its best defensive effort of the season against the same competition Saturday, dumping Denver 63-41 at the Super Pit. UNT had dropped six of seven games prior to its victory.

“Our defense was great tonight, and it led to some easy baskets on offense,” said senior forward George Odufuwa. “We were able to stretch the lead out, and make it uncomfortable for them.”

Prior to the game, UNT honored its seven seniors, guards Tristan Thompson, Josh White, Shannon Shorter and Dominique Johnson and forwards George Odufuwa, Cameron Spencer and Jamie Egenti to celebrate senior night.

UNT (17-10, 6-8) held Denver (13-16, 9-7) to the lowest point total an opponent has scored

against the Mean Green this season.

When scoring less than 70 points, Denver is 0-7 on the season. In its last outing, UNT limited Arkansas State to 63 points in a loss.

The Mean Green is 10-1 when holding opponents under 70 points, with the lone loss coming against Arkansas State.

“You could just feel it,” Odufuwa said. “We felt like we was playing good defense lately. And tonight, we maintained it for 40 minutes.”

Odufuwa posted his 15th double-double of the season, grabbing 10 rebounds to go with 12 points. Odufuwa was one of four players to score in double figures.

Senior guard Tristan Thompson scored a game-high 16 points and senior guard Josh White added 10 points.

“We wanted to come out strong, and just get a W and get us some confidence going into the [confer-ence] tournament,” White said.

This is Chris.

A familiar storyline played out for the UNT swimming and diving team at the Sun Belt Conference Championships over the weekend.

The Mean Green dropped from first to third place on Day 3 for the second straight year and remained there, finishing in

third overall for the third consec-utive year with 677 points.

UNT hosted the meet for the first time, and sophomore Catia Weickgenant quickly made waves, breaking three school records and earning four podium finishes at the Rockwall Aquatics Center of Excellence (R.A.C.E.). Head coach Joe Dykstra said he believed his team had a favor-

In a season filled with losses, the UNT women’s basketball team could not do something it has done five times this season — win.

Senior Night did not end well for UNT, with a 74-50 loss at the Super Pit Saturday night. It was the last home game for the Mean Green and its ninth consecu-tive loss.

UNT (5-23, 2-13) started by scoring the game’s first six points. The Mean Green held a first-half lead until Denver picked up its play. After a

bucket by freshman forward Ash’Lynne Evans tied the game at 16, Denver closed the half by outscoring UNT 19-6.

“I think when they started coming back, everybody just felt defeated and started giving up,” Evans said.

Evans, who averages 4.7 points per game, led the Mean Green with 12 points. Junior guard Kasondra Foreman, who averaged 6.1 points per contest, scored 11 points in the loss.

The team’s top scorer this season, senior guard Denetra Kellum, was scoreless on the evening, missing all eight shot

attempts. In the four games prior to the contest, Kellum averaged 18.5 points per contest. Coming into the contest, Kellum aver-aged 16.3 points per game. UNT struggled from the floor

“This was a big night for us. We really needed a win. We’ve been going through a lot lately.”

In the first matchup between

the two schools, the Pioneers pummeled the Mean Green from behind the 3-point line, shooting 46.2 percent. Denver could not it

get it going from deep, shooting 4-of-17 from behind the arc. The Pioneers had an overall shooting percentage of 34.8.

all night, shooting 35.1 percent “We like to penetrate a lot

to the basket, and they were in tremendous help, which kind of stymied us and made us take outside shots that we didn’t hit,” said head coach Shanice Stephens.

The Mean Green’s defense struggled to limit the Pioneers. Denver (19-10, 11-5) shot 68.2 percent in the second half and 56.5 percent for the game. Britteni Rice poured in 19 points, and Brianna Culberson had 17 points and 10 rebounds in the victory for the Pioneers.

“We called screens late, and we just need to talk more on defense, and bring that energy to the defense,” Foreman said.

UNT secured a No. 6 seed in the conference tournament, which means it will play the No. 3 team

in the East division in the first round.

“I need them to have a confi-

dence that, regardless of what happens, that you can fight back,” Stephens said.

The Mean Green shot 47.5 percent against the top scoring defense in the Sun Belt Conference.

Odufuwa said he believes the squad’s stopping power can carry UNT for the rest of the season.

“When you’re playing good defense, I feel like that’s better than playing good on offense, because defense can keep you in a game,” Odufuwa said.

UNT visits UALR in finaleThe Mean Green has one

game on its schedule before the conference tournament, which will begin Friday in Hot Springs, Ark. UNT will travel east to take on Arkansas-Little Rock at 7 p.m. today.

The teams are tied in the West standings with 7-8 records in conference play. Johnson said he believes that Saturday’s win against Denver is the start of good things to come for the Mean Green.

“Watch out for us, because we’re coming,” Johnson said.

able first two days because of its assets in freestyle and diving.

“We’re stronger in [those] events,” he said. “Those events cater to us in the first two days, and then the stroke events come around. We weren’t very sharp in any of the sprint events, and that certainly cost us as a team.”

Denver broke Western Kentucky’s three-year title streak, finishing with 924.5 points to win the meet and top WKU’s second-place score of 795.

“It’s been pretty much the same personnel for all three teams [Denver, WKU and UNT] from last year to this year,” Dykstra said.

Take your marks…The team bolted to the top of

the scoreboard Thursday after grabbing four of the top five spots in the 500-yard freestyle. Weickgenant finished in first place in 4:50.51 to break her first school record, followed by senior Angie Dworschack in third (4:53.25), junior Dawn Richerson in fourth (4:55.38) and senior Erika Roach in fifth (4:56.35).

“[The time] was a lifetime best,” she said. “I dropped three seconds from my time at conference last year.”

Junior Seabre Pope entered the 50-yard freestyle as the defending Sun Belt record holder after her 22.99 gold-medal finish at last year’s championship meet, but finished in fourth with a 23.57.

Note to Our Readers

NT Daily Editorial Board

Do moviegoers want more and more unoriginal ideas, or are Hol ly wood studios unwilling to try and take a risk on an idea that people w i l l be u n fa m i l ia r w it h? Both.

People a re happy w it h most movies that are released no w a d a y s , a nd s t u d io s really love to make profits. If a sequel to a successfully grossing movie is produced, you can bet that it will at least get people in the theater’s seats.

T he ent i re nu mber of unorig ina l mov ies in t he past year takes more than two hands and feet to count. Hollywood doesn’t have much interest in making money on original ideas anymore, and anyone who would like to argue this is, in a word, wrong.

Some cou ld a rg ue t hat movies and all forms of enter-tainment draw from each other in many different ways. However, there are simply too many times when a movie lifts a scene or a direct plotline from another movie.

Take last year’s “Avatar,” for example.

Although it stands as the highest-grossing movie of all

time, its story is completely unoriginal.

You find exactly the same t h i ngs happen i ng at t he exact same times in Disney’s “Pocahontas,” a movie made 15 years ago.

The money spent on these movies does not go to a prof-itable new story, but rather to presentation and stylistic choic e s. Aud ienc e s love mov ies l i ke “Avata r” a nd “Tr a n s for mer s” b e c au s e they are familiar, and movie studios know it.

To a future filmmaker, this is discouraging.

The LA Times states that “the notoriously risk-averse Hollywood studios have been spending t heir money on the safest bets possible; big-budget projects and potential franchise properties that are usually based on a book, a video game, a toy or even an amusement park ride.”

In the same paragraph, the next line talks about a Stretch Armstrong and a Magic 8 Ball movie that are in the devel-opment stages. The mere fact that a movie based on a Magic 8 Bal l toy is in the works shows that studios are either getting too greedy or too lazy. “Avata r” is not t he on ly

exa mple of a mov ie t hat takes a pre-existing story and makes it into a big-budget film. In 2010, there were 27 sequels or remakes that were completed and brought to the big screen, more than any year in history.

“Toy Story 3” was a large hit with both critics and general audiences alike, but it is still a sequel.

Just for an idea of how many remakes and sequels there actually were, here’s five at ra ndom: “TRON Legac y,” “The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” “Shrek Forever After,” “The Karate Kid,” and “Sex and the City 2.”

W hether these f i lms are any good is up for discus-sion, but these movies a l l turned in good profits, owing a lot to the established names and companies behind these movies.

Contrarily, some movies that were based on books, l ike “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” a nd “T he Socia l Network” were not surefire hits because of the obscurity of their source material.

Are movies getting worse? Not necessarily.

A lot of movies made well-

deserved profits, and just as many great movies did not make the profit they should have. The quality of movies is not at a l l dependent on what it is based on, but what strengths it has alone.

Still, unoriginality is often-times cause for doubt when it comes to great writing and good characters.

With the looming cloud of even more sequels and ridiculous movie premises, it is only a matter of t ime until a movie is based on the different colors of Sharpies.

Love games aren’t just for Lady Gaga.

A recent and seemingly point-less study suggests that women prefer men who play hard to get. Researchers showed 47 undergraduate women at the University of Virginia four fake Facebook profiles of college men and told the participants that the men had looked at the women’s Facebook pages and rated them.

Researchers told the partici-pants that the guys had rated them as either average, above average, or told the women that they couldn’t disclose the infor-mation to maintain the integrity of the experiment.

The women were then asked to rate the men in return based on how often they had thought about them since seeing their profiles. Oddly, they rated the mystery men highest, even higher than those they were told had interest in them.

It’s trivial, really, just a quick study ready to be read and forgotten, but something about it rubs me the wrong way. The idea that a study would tell rational, free-thinking adults to play games, hide their inten-tions and listen to gossip maga-zines marketed to preteens is confounding.

It’s one thing when bad advice comes from magazines, pop stars and well-intentioned family members, but when science suggests lying, I guess I take it personally.

This is from science, the guys who brought us Bill Nye and the scientific method, and I refuse to stand idly by. They’re usually so spot on. They have that gravity thing down pat, but this is ridic-ulous.

It makes sense not to declare love on a first date, not to rush into a commitment that neither person feels is appropriate or not to assign meaningless names

when things are just peachy the way they are. It does not make sense, however, to hold in what you’re feeling and lie to your significant other.

Mystery’s all well and good, but playing games is childish, complicated and frequently not much fun.

I’m blowing this a little out of proportion.

The number of times college students think about people they Facebook-stalked prob-ably doesn’t have lasting impli-cations on anything, but the results of the study and the buzz surrounding it draw crazy conclusions.

Maybe I’m wrong. If keeping things ambiguous gives you butterflies, who am I to judge? Perhaps my ideas are too modern, perhaps too antiquated, and perhaps, because I refuse to feign disinterest, I will die alone with a house full of hand-tatted doilies and 57 cats.

But maybe not. Maybe the revolutionary idea of sharing your feelings and wearing your heart on your sleeve will go against science and grand-mothers, and help two people communicate honestly and achieve happiness.

Hollywood needs to change it up

Students should support tuition increase

Editorial

Sometimes, you have to spend money to get better results. Unfortunately, college has become a place where that that state-ment plays out.

The trickledown effect of Texas’s roughly $25 billion deficit is that UNT could face a budget reduction of between $3.7 million to $9.4 million, depending on what the Legislature decides.

Because of that, UNT students may experience a 2.8 percent increase to tuition on top of the previously approved 3.9 percent increase for 2010.

In a presentation to the Student Government Association on Monday, UNT President V. Lane Rawlins detailed the reasons the administration has proposed the second increase.

That would cost full-time students $117.75, but the overall increase in the university’s budget would hit around $6.3 million.

That would offset much of the potential drop in funding if the proposed cuts to higher education occur. If the state miraculously doesn’t cut from higher education, the increase could help propel UNT on its way to become a Tier One research university.

Becoming a Tier One institution means UNT would have a higher level of prestige and recognition nationwide.

During his presentation, Rawlins promised to use that money to supply $1.3 million for need-based financial aid, $2.5 million for more faculty members and lecturers, $1.5 million for class-room and building needs, and $1 million for maintenance and operations.

The Editorial Board believes he will follow through with that pledge.

The added revenue would help alleviate many of the issues the university faces, including reducing overcrowding, improving the infrastructure and enticing faculty to come to UNT.

As it stands, some classes fill up before students can register for them. Others have too many students in the class section and not enough seats. Without the increase in tuition, the university would decrease faculty positions by about 50 people. That would only exacerbate the issue.

To help the infrastructure, the administration wants to revamp buildings to better accommodate the classes and the increasing number of students. A decrease in the budget would put the plan to create more space on hold for a while and slow UNT’s rapidly advancing reputation.

Bringing top professionals to an institute of higher learning requires the ability to attract them with financial incentives and prestige. Cutting down the number of faculty members would not give off the impression of a secure job to prospective profes-sors.

Another reason the administration gave for proposing a tuition increase is UNT gets less funding per student than the other public universities.

If this university is going to improve, it has to have enough money to compete with other institutions, such as the University of Texas and Texas A&M University. Those schools not only receive more money from the state, but they also have a larger bankroll from tuition and alumni contributions.

Nobody wants to pay more, but the reality is UNT could become stagnant if the administration doesn’t have enough money to work with to make improvements.
