The Iraqi Museum of Modern A rt in Baghdad was home to more than 7,000 works of art before being looted and set ablaze during the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime.

Today, the museum is left with about 1,700 pieces, w it h t housands missing from the original collec-tion, and a UNT professor is helping track them down.

Nada Shabout, assistant professor of a r t educa-t ion a nd a r t histor y, is t he d i re c tor of U N T’s Contemporar y A rab and Musl im Cu lture Studies Inst it ute. She sa id she noticed locating the missing art was a low priority to the Iraqi authorities, so she took matters into her own hands.

“The information comes to me about this one work or two works on sale in Amman or somewhere. I have contacts that will go look at it, and that’s how we find these pieces,” Shabout said. “We get a photo of it and store it in the Modern Art Iraq Archive, an online database that I initially used to start the documentation of the looted works.”

Shabout isn’t able to chase down these pieces herself, for her own safety and that of the art.

“I was at a panel at a gallery in Amman [Jordan] and someone in the audi-ence stood up and said, ‘Do you know that what you do can get you ki l led?,’” Shabout said. “If I went to view an art work I was suspicious of, my fr iend joked I’d have to wear a

Four UNT students w il l t ravel to At la nta, Ga., to compete in the 2012 National Debate Tournament at Emory Universit y from March 29 through April 2.

The tournament began in 1947, and 74 teams participate – 58 that qualify by placing in the top 10 in their district tour-naments, and 16 that receive at-large bids based on prior tournament performances.

UNT students have quali-fied for the tournament in 27 of the past 30 years.

Part icipants compete in teams of two. UNT will field t wo teams this year: pre-communication junior Colin Quinn and pre-biology soph-omore Amy Schade; and pre-communication junior Brian Kersch a nd pre-pol it ic a l science junior Shelby Pryor.

The topic for this year’s tournament is U.S. involve-ment and influence in North African and Middle Eastern countries, according to UNT debate director Brian Lain, a communicat ion studies

disguise every time, because people see me and say, ‘Go hide the looted works!’”

Locating the pieces does not a lw ay s en su re t hei r return to Iraq, according to Shabout.

“The museums in Iraq aren’t in a state where they can preserve [the art]. The security is also bad, so they m ig ht get looted aga i n,” Shabout said. “All I want is an image of them so I can add them to the database. If I can create some sort of document that at least partially replaces what has been lost in memory,

then that’s a success from an art historian’s perspective.”

As far as the number of looted art works that have emerged, about 300 to 400 pieces is a “very optimistic e s t i m at e,” a c c ord i ng to Shabout.

“Iraq is a country of such rich history, and modern art is a big piece of that puzzle,” pre-studio art junior Dorie M i shael s a id . “I’m ver y g lad someone is act ively attempting to rescue t hat element of Iraqi culture.”

you have to stay informed because the information changes so quickly,” Lain said. “There’s been debates where a team won because they had information that was a few hours newer.”

UNT won the tourna-ment in 1948 – when the u n i v er s it y w a s Nor t h Texas State College – over the University of Florida, Pu rdue Un iversit y a nd the University of Kansas. Northwestern won the tour-nament in 2011.

The four UNT debaters spend up to five hours a day researching and practicing for debates and over Spring Break will have 10-hour study sessions, according to Pryor.

“You spend a lot of time studying scholarly articles and journals,” Pryor said. “And you learn how to take constructive criticism from the judges after the round is over.”

Each w inter, depression cases involving students tend to rise in part due to “Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).”

During this time, students affected by SAD experience apathy, tend to be lethargic and have a lack of energ y. The disorder is caused by lack of sunlight brought on by the winter months, which causes the body to release the hormone melatonin in excess.

“Sunlight helps halt the production of melatonin in the body,” said Mary Roberts, psycholog ist at t he UN T Counseling and Testing Center. “Physiologica l ly spea k ing, a body that is not receiving enough sunshine is more apt to experience Seasonal Affective Disorder because the body has too much melatonin, which will cause the body to act in a lethargic, zombie like manner.”

Roberts said the overpro-

Disorder causes winter blues

duction of melatonin causes a spike in student depression and causes mood swings.

“I had a boyfriend who was bipolar,” undecided freshman Morgan Cote said. “During the winter months it would be harder for him to take his medicines, and his depres-sion would grow a lot worse and harder to control.”

Students who have expe-rienced trauma in the past are more at risk during the winter months, when they are more likely to be emotionally vulnerable and overwhelmed with exams and school.

“The amount of students

Roberts suggested students stay active and spend as much t ime as possible outdoors. Being aware of the factors that contribute to emotional i nstabi l it y a l lows col lege students to ta ke prevent-able measures so that their emotional well-being is never compromised.

Music majors play three-peg Tuesday afternoon outside Music Practice North. “The knee-jerk reaction is to isolate one-self,” said Housing Counselor Krista Garrett about the onset of depression. “Finding a group with something in common is a place to start, and any physical activity across the board,” she said.

Besides being mentally chal-lenging, debating is physically taxing as well, Kersch said.

“I have to speak at around 450 or 500 words a minute for nine minutes,” Kersch said. “I’m sweating by the end of it.”

Teams argue for their case and try to make the other teams’ arguments look weaker, according to Kersch.

“It’s like a chess game,” Kersch said. “You try to outmaneuver your opponent and try to get them to mess up.”

Ever y day, m i l l ions of Americans are improperly disposing of their electrical dev ices, which can cause harmful effects to the envi-ronment.

Americans throw out about 400 million electrical waste products every year, according to Texas Campaign for the Environment, and about 80 percent of American e-waste is disposed of improperly through landfills and incin-erators, where toxins found in batteries and other parts can harm the environment.

“The drop off is located at the landfill, and it allows for students to drop off their old electronics without charge unless the product contains something like antifreeze,” Presley said. “From t here Goodwill picks up the prod-ucts from us where it is then shipped to Fort Worth, where the products are either fixed and resold or disposed of in a proper way.”

Today’s Union Fest in the Syndicate will include U N T ’s f i r s t S t u d e n t Acoustic Artists Series at 3 p.m., featuring five student performers playing exclu-sively acoustic music.

The Union Fest, a cele-bration of student unions that will also have prizes, food, face-painting and an architect presentation on the proposed look of the new Union, starts at 7 a.m. and will end at about 9 p.m. with a performance by comedian Jarrod Harris.

In the past, the Syndicate has hosted open mi ke nights and shows from Col lege of Music ja z z bands, but with the Student Acoustic Artist Series, the Sy ndicate is branching out to a specific genre of musical performers.

“This is the first time we’re doing pure acoustic artists,” said finance senior Br ia n Russel l, st udent manager of the University Program Council. “In the future we’re going to try and have more midday event performances where the artists come and play during lunch.”

To sign up for events such as today’s acoustic series, students should “like” the Syndicate page on Facebook and then post a sound clip or video of their music. The Syndicate then chooses performers they believe students will enjoy hearing.

“L o t s o f c u s t o m e r service goes into running t hese event s,” Russel l said. “We have to talk to these students that are performing, making sure we have all their needs accommodated for.”

Ryan Crocker is a busi-nessman.

He talks supply and demand, runs his own shop and lives in the heart of downtown Denton.

He is also a farmer, providing local produce to the commu-nity and helping bring urban gardening to North Texas.

Denton is fertile ground for the blossoming trend of backyard and public community gardens, which give owners the freedom to grow their own food as well as sell their local produce at farmers’ markets.

“People want organic, local produce that’s different than what you buy at Walmart,” Crocker said. “One of the best things is going to the market on Saturday mornings and seeing everyone interact – it’s community building. You also see teams of people moving their bodies, and it’s fun to get out in the garden for awhile.”

Crocker, a UNT alumnus, grew produce for his own kitchen from World War II-era garden plots in England, started a farm in New Mexico and in 2011, returned to his roots in Denton to start Earthwise Gardens, a produce company that advocates for community supported agricul-ture.

Students with a full spec-trum of majors and interests are collaborating toward the debut of a groundbreaking new fashion magazine. Their goal is to showcase the creative talents of UNT students and show the many dimensions of the fashion industry.

Method Seven Magazine is in the early stages of develop-ment but has a clear-cut path, direction and goals.

“Method Seven Magazine is based on the idea that we are the future,” founder and editor-in-chief Adriana Solis said. “We want to get back to the story of fashion.”

Method Seven Magazine is one of the first ever interest-oriented publications to come to UNT. In the future, the maga-zine hopes to sponsor fashion events, improve students’ various skills and provide work experience that the fashion industry requires after grad-uation.

Solis, a merchandising soph-omore, said she took inspiration from UNT to illuminate her goals for the magazine.

“The strength of UNT lies in innovation and the ability to look at the world in many different ways,” Solis said.

The publication will consist of different types of articles Solis

hopes will captivate students of all interests. The magazine plans to publish fashion high-lights, photo spreads and inter-views with professionals in the fashion industry.

Along with photography,

merchandising, film and design students, the Method Seven Magazine team also includes journalism, business, commu-nications, marketing and computer science students, with merchandising lecturer

Dr. Jessica Strubel as the faculty mentor.

Students will be working together while gaining a valu-able educational experience. Leaders want the organization to cater to both creative and

business-minded students in order to have a successfully run publication.

“It’s important to learn from other students,” Solis said. “We feel that in order to take full advantage of our education, we

must be hands-on.”Merchandising sophomore

Chelcie Guidry said she is looking forward to being a stylist for Method Seven Magazine.

“I am excited because I will be doing what I want to do,” Guidry said. “I’ll get to execute something before I get into the industry and form many connections.”

“We believe that in order to succeed out there, you must begin now,” Solis said.

Even the name itself is signif-icant to the mission of Method Seven Magazine.

Solis said “Method” refers to the process of students working together towards a greater good, while “Seven” represents the core principles the organiza-tion hopes to make clear in all of its endeavors.

The publication will begin as an online magazine updated only once or twice a semester but will be a continuous project taking place over the course of the entire year. The magazine is not currently accepting appli-cations but will resume doing so in the fall.

Method Seven Magazine leaders are optimistic about the future of the publication.

“We are excited about the response,” Solis said. “We are looking forward to taking on the role of what we want to become in the real-world.”

Denton community digsinto urban gardening

Urba n ga rden i ng h a s multiple benefits, City of Denton Parks Manager Russell Koch said.

“Gardens connect people to the environment and nature,” Koch said. “It can also be used as a learning tool for students as they plant and grow different types of materials.”

Bowling Green Park at 2200 Bowling Green St. is a commu-nity garden open to anyone interested in renting plots and growing their own produce. Tenants rent one of the 52 plots from the city, personally main-taining their stake of land for a full year.

Koch said since the park was founded in the late ’80s, every plot has been consis-tently rented.

“This was and stil l is a

benefit to the community and the city of Denton,” he said.

The tools necessary to turn a leisurely yard into a harvest-able investment can be found at any home improvement or hardware store.

From pre-packaged vege-table seeds with easy care instructions at Lowe’s to chicken coops sold at D&L Hardware, there are options for all sorts of green thumbs.

“Every day we have people come in and ask how to grow their own vegetables and herbs,” said Rabecca Pate, Lowe’s Home Improvement live nursery sales specialist. “A lot of people want organic and not packaged fertilizers, so I help them combine things like peat moss and cow manure.”

While the initial process of buying seeds and setting up either a raised bed or irrigation system is the largest expense, tilling the ground and reusing the same patch of soil will reap health and financial benefits, Crocker said.

“I just took the plunge,” Crocker said. “There’s no way to learn without jumping in and doing it.”

Student acoustic artiststo perform at Union Fest

in front of your peers in a very friendly and comfortable envi-ronment.”

Even though she’s performed in other events outside of the Syndicate, Morris believes the experience will help her grow as a performer.

“You can never have too much experience in front of people, because it’s still very nerve-wracking,” she said.

Radio, television and film freshman Curtis Wells has never attended a music event at the Syndicate. However, as a musician, he said events like the acoustic series were a great addition to campus life.

“I like good songwriting and original music,” Wells said. “It would be something new.”

Morris hopes that people attending the Student Acoustic Artists Series will gain a new perspective from the expe-rience.

“It’l l be fun to see your peers in a dif ferent way,” Morris said. “They could be in one of your classes, and you never knew that they play an instrument.”

For more information on f ut u re on-ca mpus music events, students should “like” the Syndicate on Facebook or check the Union calendar.

Mismatched antique furni-ture and decor add to the Southern atmosphere inside t he of f-w h ite, t wo-stor y histor ic bui lding on Oa k Street, the third oldest house in Denton and home to the city’s newest drafthouse.

The Oak St. Drafthouse, located at 308 Oak St. and marked only by a banner hanging across a w indow of the house, drew a crowd of about 250 people when it opened March 5, owner John Williams said.

“We passed inspection at 3 p.m. that day and then threw it up on Facebook that we were going to open at 5 p.m.,” Williams said. “I kind of made a mad scramble to get some more furniture in here from the Downtown Mini Mall and hire more people.”

The bar inside the house, which Williams said was built in 1886, has 48 beers on tap, 24

of them from Texas breweries such as Deep Ellum Brewing Company and Denton’s very own Armadillo Ale Works.

Local glassblowing company MAD Glass crafted each beer tap handle in various shapes, sizes and colors.

The drafthouse also has one of Denton’s largest back-yard patios, with tables and blue and yellow chairs scat-tered about on the green lawn. In an effort to preserve the house, the patio is the only area where smoking is permitted.

Adding to the relaxed ambi-ance of the Oak St. Drafthouse is the absence of television screens. Instead, music and conversation provide back-ground noise.

Williams said he drew the inspiration for his drafthouse from Lustre Pearl in Austin, a bar inside of an old house he visited a few years ago.

Mike Russell, a scruffily bearded bartender at Oak St.

Drafthouse, said the feedback has been great thus far.

“It’s crazy, because I used to party here, and now this is where I work,” Russell said. “There’s a lot of energy and excitement here. We’ll keep the beers and beards going here.”

After grabbing a f lier at the nearby Midway Mart, Denton residents Jami Peters and Enrique Pol decided to check out the city’s newest hangout. The pair said they typically sit on the front porch but opted for one of the couches inside Tuesday evening.

“Our first time here was Sunday, and we actually came back again the same day,” Peters said.

B ot h a g r e e d Oa k St . Drafthouse makes a great fit for Denton with its Southern style, immaculate cleanliness and comfort.

Within the next few weeks, Williams said he plans on adding five to eight signa-

AIMEE PASSIntern

A bike rally with members dressed in drag and a march to raise awareness about sexual abuse are among several events being planned by organizers of a new Denton group, Radical Alliance for Gender Equality.

Kelsey Glaser, a Texas Christian University alumna and co-founder of RAGE, said the Denton group emerged as an activist response to a wide range of women’s rights and LGBTQ issues that were being addressed by student groups such as the

Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance.

“FMLA does a lot of educa-tional work,” Glaser said. “RAGE is really about being active.”

A “Drag Race” fundraising bike rally was rescheduled for early May after being rained out Saturday, which didn’t stop several members from showing up in drag to support the cause.

The group of Denton residents, students and activists partici-pate in weekly “clinic defense” at Whole Women’s Health, a women’s health clinic in Fort Worth. The group meets every

Saturday at 6:30 a.m. at Big Mike’s Coffee and carpools to Whole Women’s Health, where they escort women into the clinic.

They serve as moral support and physical escorts, walking with women to and from their vehi-cles into the clinic through what RAGE says are regular crowds of anti-abortion protesters.

Glaser said the clinic defense could be intense, but the group refrains from confrontation.

“We’re not there to start a clash,” Glaser said.

Members of RAGE said they responded to a request for help

from the clinic, which only employs one security guard.

“The clinic actually called us,” said pre-international develop-ment sophomore Darian Gore. “They said it was getting pretty bad, and they couldn’t handle it by themselves.”

RAGE is not an official UNT student organization and has no current plans to pursue offi-cial status, although many of its members have cited the poten-tial benefits, such as having the university fund flights for poten-tial speakers, Glaser said.

On Saturday, the group went

ahead as planned and held a fundraiser after-party nearby at Glaser’s house in Denton.

The money raised by the event will be used to fund fliers, posters and future events for the group, Gore said.

RAGE plans to participate in a “Take Back the Night” march in Denton on April 9 and a “We Are Women” march in Austin on April 29.

“The idea of it [Take Back the Night] is for women to reclaim the night without being scared or uncomfortable,” Glaser said. “Without the fear of being raped,

molested or attacked.”A drag show Saturday night

at Mable Peabody’s night club gave decked-out members an excuse to stay in drag, said De’Ron[da] Scott, RAGE member and psychology senior.

“I put too much work into this,” he said, noting the two and a half hours it took him to dress and apply his makeup.

RAGE meets Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in the Environmental Science Building, room 110.

honors this season.With these accolades and

achievements, one wou ld assume that the Mean Green is just picking on small, weaker teams. That is the furthest thing from the truth.

UNT has taken down then-No. 53 Kansas State, then-No. 44 Texas Christian and then-No. 50 Cal Poly, all on the road, and has hung tough with four other ranked oppo-nents. Four of the team’s five losses have come against ranked teams.

T he pl a y er s a r e a l s o growing closer to one another through every victory, which proves the team is having fun.

The team’s doubles play is also improving. In early matches, it struggled to earn the doubles point. Since the doubles teams had not yet developed, UNT was forced to win matches the hard way, by rallying and winning four of the six singles matches.

Now the doubles teams are gelling and proving that the Mean Green is a force to be

reckoned with in every facet of the game.

Before t he season even began, the team was at an advantage for the Sun Belt Conference Championships because it will be held at the Wa ra nch Tennis Complex here in Denton. Now that UNT has shown how tough it is, the team will really have the upper hand.

Predict ion t ime : i f t he Mean Green keeps this up, it will win its final five matches of the season – including two more conference matches – and finish at 16-5, win the SBC and make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

In 21 starts this season, senior outfielder Megan Rupp has stolen four bases for the softball team, just one stolen base shy of matching her total from all of last season. She stole two bases in Sunday’s 11-4 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette, becoming the school’s all-time stolen base leader with 34. Who did she pass to become the leader?

Hint: She ranks in the school’s top five all-time in 10 offensive categories.

Mean Green Trivia

JOSH FRIEMELStaff Writer

When she got to UNT in 2010, senior infielder Maddelyn Fraley transitioned from a college of about 3,000 to a university with more than 33,000 students.

“The first semester [at UNT], I was so overwhelmed. It was horrible,” she said. “It was a very eye-opening change that took me a while to get used to.”

Fraley got into softball when she was four years old, playing pitcher, first basemen and an outfielder.

For her entire collegiate career at both the junior college and Division-I level, Fraley has thrived in softball by being able to adapt quickly and learn on the fly in any situation.

W hen she a r r ived at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in 2009, the incumbent first baseman had graduated, and Fraley was next in line for the job. Under NEO softball head coach Eric Iverson’s tute-lage, Fraley learned how to be a leader on and off the field.

The No. 51 Mean Green ten n is tea m is hav i ng one of its most successful seasons in recent history and has set itself up to be the No. 1 seed in the Su n B e l t C on f e r e n c e Tournament.

The team is now 11-5 – 4-0 in conference play – and has won six of its last seven matches.

The Mean Green earned the highest Intercollegiate Tennis Ranking in team history when it broke in at No. 61 in mid-February. From t here, t he tea m continued to rise and made it up to No. 40 by March. Since then, the team has only lost to then-No. 30 Tulsa and is now ranked No. 51 in the nation.

Senior in� elder Maddelyn Fraley congratulates Oklahoma University after the Mean Green’s 4-1 loss to the Sooners on Feb. 29 at Lovelace Stadium. Fraley started playing softball when she was four years old.

Senior succeeds a� er injury-plagued season

Pro� le in 2010, Iverson called UNT soft-ball head coach T.J. Hubbard about Fraley.

“[Iverson] is a good friend,” Hubbard said. “He told me he thought he had a kid that would fit well into our system.”

Coming to UNT as a junior, Fraley said the lack of team chemistry made her feel like a freshman again.

“The [seniors] here, Curly [senior catcher Caitlin Grimes], [senior infielder] Lisa [Johnson], [senior outf ielder] Jessica [Shields] and [senior outfielder] Megan [Rupp] all had roles on the team,” she said. “I had nothing, and I didn’t know the people very well.”

Fraley’s injuries also slowed her progress during her first season with the Mean Green, as she sustained a separated labrum along and had rotator cuff problems.

In her first season with UNT in 2011, her batting average dropped from .373 in 57 games at NEO to .183. She had surgery after the season’s end in May and then went through phys-ical therapy on her shoulder for seven months.

“When I would hit, it wouldn’t hurt,” she said. “But when I went

out to throw, it would go dead. It worried me throughout the whole season.”

Since her recovery, Fraley has thrived in the UNT lineup. Her five home runs have her tied with Grimes for the team lead and ranks sixth in the Sun Belt Conference. Her past inju-ries haven’t limited her perfor-mance, either. She’s one of six UNT players to start and play all 21 games this year.

Hubbard said Fraley’s ability to observe the games and take mental notes makes her one of the savviest ballplayers he’s seen.

Fra ley’s stats back up Hubbard’s sentiments. Last season, Fraley hit three home runs in 82 plate appearances. This season, she’s matched her 2011 home run total in just 14 plate appearances.

Hubbard has shown confi-dence in Fraley by moving her up from sixth in the batting order to the fourth slot this season.

“She’s put pressure on the other team a lot,” Hubbard said. “Regardless if she does anything in that game, her pres-ence in the lineup adds pressure on the other pitcher.”

“My vert ica l jump a nd broad jump were definitely opportunities to show how explosive I am,” he told mean-greensports.com. “I got off to a good start there.”

UNT has not had a player drafted since 2004, when the Oa k land Raiders selected linebacker Cody Spencer in the sixth round. New Orleans Saints running back Patrick Cobbs a nd New Eng la nd Patriots offensive guard Brian Waters are the only UNT players currently playing in the NFL.

Athletes: Who do you look up to?

Who’s your funniest

teammate?What annoys you the most?

What do you do on the

weekends?

“Sleep, because dur-ing the week we are so busy with practice and classes, if we are

not playing, that is the best time that I get to catch up on

sleep.”

“Probably my dad. He has achieved a

lot, and he is a good role model for me. If I could achieve

half of what he has, I’d be more than

happy.”

“My doubles part-ner, Barbie [junior

Barbora Vykydalova]. It’s just the way she

is. She cracks me up.”

“People that talk really loudly on the

cell phone, and peo-ple that don’t say ‘please’ and ‘thank

you.’”

“When it’s supposed to be sunny and nice outside for

practice and then Texas just says, ‘No.’

Especially when you go to a meet and it’s

nasty, it’s no fun.”

“My dad, because he played football at Baylor. Have you

seen that movie ‘Star Trek?’ Remember

when the new cap-tain goes to the old

captain’s son and says, ‘I dare you to do better.’ He dares

me to do better.”

“[Freshman throw-er] Deja McKnight,

because she can be really sarcastic. She’s really quiet, so when she says something,

it’s really sarcastic and funny.”

“I don’t know, just relax. Whenever we don’t have softball, I don’t even know

what to do because I’m not used to that

free time. I like to watch movies, I like to go fishing, I love

to go to the dog park with my sister’s

dog and just relax and do laundry.”

“I don’t know, I really look up to my sister. She played [at UNT] last year. She put in a lot of work in soft-ball, not just softball

but in everything that she does. She tries really hard at

everything.”

“Probably [sopho-more infielder]

Jordan Terry. If you ever get a chance

to talk to her, you’ll laugh uncontrolla-

bly. She’s just honest and hilarious. She makes funny faces

and says things that nobody else will

ever say.”

“I hate it when people repeat sto-

ries, tell stories over, and over and over

again. Not too much annoys me. I’m

pretty laid back.”

Charleston Lewis

Nadia Lee

Lesley Hirsch

“My favorite thing to do on the weekend

is definitely sleep because during the

week there’s very little. You got to

wake up at 6 a.m. for weights and hardly

get to sleep in.”

Junior softball infielder

Women’s golf senior

“I really actually enjoy playing video games with my friends. I play

football and ‘Call of Duty.’”

“My dad. He rep-resents his faith in

everything he does. He taught me to play golf, how to love people. His

competitiveness and his drive to succeed. He never gives up.

His love for my mom has taught me so

much.”

“[Senior] Jacey [Chun]. She doesn’t talk. She is a woman

of few words. Everything that

comes out of her mouth is very hilari-ous. She has a very sarcastic sense of

humor.”

“Slow playing in a tournament or

something, I just like playing fast golf. I

like to go out there and get it done. I

hate playing slow.”Addison Long

After falling to No. 11 ULL last weekend, the Mean Green softball team (8-13) will face its second nationally ranked team in three days when it plays the No. 15 Baylor Lady Bears (16-5) at 6 p.m. tonight in Waco.

The teams competed in back-to-back games last month to finish the Texas Shootout in Waco, a five-team, three-day tournament hosted by Baylor. The Lady Bears claimed a pair of one-run wins against the Mean Green in the tournament.

“The more you see a team, the more you get to know the ins and outs of how they play defensively and offensively,” senior catcher Caitlin Grimes said. “We know the coaching styles, so we know how they’re going to run, how they’re going to pitch, who hits the ball and who doesn’t.”

Baylor is 12-2 at home and has scored 46 percent of its runs in

Mean Green gets second chance against Lady Bears

Softball the first two innings this season. In its first game, the Mean Green’s defense kept the Lady Bears score-less until the third inning.

“Every time we’ve played them this past year, they’ve been one-run games, and we’ve only lost because of defensive errors,” Grimes said. “So hopefully this

time we can come out very strong and, with a few more games under our belt, give them a better chal-lenge.”

Though the Lady Bears started the season strong, Baylor has fallen eight places in the national stand-ings over the past five weeks and

is still missing its All-American starting redshirt junior pitcher Whitney Canion, who tore her ACL during a Feb. 26 game against the Mean Green.

Canion pitched three innings, recorded two strikeouts and allowed only one hit before injuring her knee running out a grounder later in the third. Baylor’s pitching staff has gone 4-3 with a 1.79 ERA since Canion’s injury.

“We’ve beaten them, we’ve lost to them. I don’t really worry about Baylor because we play them so much now,” junior pitcher Brittany Simmons said. “You never know what can happen with that one.”

Strong pitching performances, getting runners on base and finding timely hits will all be big factors in Wednesday’s game, things the team has been working toward all season, head coach T.J. Hubbard said.

“Our pitching staff has been doing a pretty good job, so as long as they keep up their end of the deal, we should be all right,” he said.

Baylor because we play them so

UNT hosts NFL Pro Day at Apogee

BOBBY LEWISSports Editor

NFL scouts came to Apogee Stadium to evaluate UNT pros-pects for the Mean Green’s Pro Day on Tuesday.

Pro Day allows NFL scouts to work out draft prospects and talk with the players and their coaches about the NFL Draft, which begins April 26.

Nineteen potentia l NFL Dra f t el ig ible prospec t s completed a series of work-outs at Apogee, including the 40-yard dash and the 225-pound bench press.

Scouts from the Da l las Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks were present for UNT’s Pro Day.

Senior running back Lance Dunbar, who f inished his UNT career as the school’s all-time leading rusher with 4,224 yards, completed seven workouts for the scouts.

Among the most important was his 40-yard dash time, which he ran in 4.50 and 4.47 seconds. Each player has an opportunity to run the 40-yard dash twice.

“The 40 was a big deal for me,” he told meangreensports.com. “I worked hard for the last two months to get ready for today because I knew it was my big day. Came out, did what I had to do. Hopefully.”

Do you think the new apartment complex on Fry

Street will be good or bad for Denton?

Why?

“It’s going to bring a lot of business to Fry [Street].

There is going to be a lot of sophomores who go in [the

apartments] because they are brand new, and they don’t have

cars, so people are going to walk to Jimmy John’s or walk to Pita Pit or to [Crooked Crust].

It’s going to bring a lot of business to Fry [Street].”

“It’s more people to spend more money. Seems like the simplest

answer for any economy.”

“They’re definitely going to be good for business, but they’re

going to be really ugly.”

Nod: UNT’s Policy Debate Team

Robert Sayler, author of “Tongue Tied-America,” estimates that 80 percent of Americans are affected by glosso-phobia– the fear of public speaking– to some degree. The idea of standing in front of a room of crowded people and stating your mind can be a harrowing thought. Add competition to the mix, and it can be downright terrifying.

UNT debaters Collin Quinn, Amy Schade, Brian Kersch and Shelby Pryor are clearly unfamiliar with this type of fear. The two-person teams of Quinn and Schade along with Kersch and Pryor advanced through their district tourna-ment and qualified to compete in the

elite National Debate Tournament in Atlanta, Ga., from March 29 to April 2.

For those unfamiliar with policy debate, it consists of two-person teams debating either for or against a topic that is decided on a yearly basis. To win, debaters compile evidence in a string of strategic arguments, ranging from philosophical objections to the other team’s language, to nuclear war scenarios caused by the other team’s plan.

The NDT, regarded as the most competitive college policy debate tour-nament in the country, brings schools from all across the United States.

For UNT to send two teams shows the extraordinary devotion that the

coaches and competitors have put into perfecting their craft.

Shake: The Orlando Magic’s front office

The Orlando Magic currently faces a self-inf licted dilemma. All-Star center Dwight Howard’s contract only lasts until the end of the current season, and he’s made it very clear both to the public and to the Magic that come July, he won’t be calling Orlando his home. That means that Orlando must trade Howard before Thursday’s trade deadline or risk him leaving for nothing when he walks away in free agency this summer.

Sources told ESPN’s Ric Bucher that to sway him into staying, the Magic’s CEO Alex Martin prom-ised that if Howard signs a contract extension at the end of the season, he could decide if head coach Stan Van Gundy and General Manager Otis Smith keep their jobs.

If Bucher’s sources are correct, this represents a complete under-mining of Smith and Van Gundy. How is a coach supposed to influ-ence a player when the player knows he’s not really the boss?

The Magic should reconsider this promise if it has any respect for its employees. No player is worth a franchise’s principles.

The final minutes of the Sun Belt conference championships were spent not watching, but listening to the game on 88.1 KNTU. I sprinted out of my second floor apartment, down the stairs and flung the car door open. A half-turn of the key later, I was listening to the game’s final moments.

I’m a die-hard UNT sports fan and a little sports-superstitious. When UNT’s men’s basketball was up 13 and on a 12-point run, I was in the 2003 silver Volvo grabbing dinner. I hoped my return to the car would return the Mean Green’s magic; unfortunately, it didn’t.

Disappointed and heartbroken, it seemed too similar to last year’s gut-wrenching, prison-shank 3-pointer that ended UNT’s chance at the NCAA tournament. But this year, after seeing the NT Daily cover photo of Tony Mitchell on his knees on a court covered in almost as much confetti as it was Mitchell’s disappointment and tears, it hit me. This wasn’t last year’s loss.

That loss was a huge upset over UNT’s version of the big three – seniors Josh White, Tristan Thompson and George Odufawa – and four other seniors. That loss was a last chance.

This loss is fuel. This loss is a learning experience for a young, unseasoned and short-handed team. After losing two of the three highest scorers to academic issues midseason, UNT lost the conference champion-ship by only four points.

Pending Mitchell’s return and the academic improvement of freshmen guards Jordan Williams and Chris Jones, UNT will return to full strength with its six highest scorers. UNT’s

basketball program won’t have the same quality recruiting class it did this year, but it only needs a few pieces to run the court as efficiently as the Mob ran Chicago during the Prohibition era.

UNT already has verbal commit-ments from Junior College 6-foot-10-inch big man John Odoh and 6-foot-5-inch Argyle High School product Clarke Overlander.

As a freshman, Odoh averaged three blocks, eight rebounds and almost 10 points. A true center will be a nice presence on the boards for an already good rebounding team– currently 18th in the nation– averaging 39 boards a game, and Overlander is the No. 68 recruit coming out of Texas, according to TexasHoops.com.

UNT has one more scholarship to fill. Mean Green basketball has a lot a to look forward to. Although the loss stings, it may be just enough to bring Tony Mitchell back for one more Sun Belt season.

Universities – institutions dedi-cated to the expansion and matura-tion of young minds – inevitably lead certain students to develop radical and uncommon beliefs, including informed opinions, an understanding of politics and the ability to make inde-pendent decisions.

Thankfully, this is rare. For the benefit of the rest of us – who would be lucky to know what year it is, let alone whether it contains an elec-tion – I have painstakingly developed a system to assess the current lineup of Republican presidential candidates. My method assigns a rating for each candidate out of a possible 10 points and is entirely concerned with hair.

Newt Gingrich: The classic hair of an elder statesman, its whiteness implies a sort of wisdom that only comes from the expanding cranium of age, but it’s also very wispy and might give voters the impression of frailty. A bit too round and helmetlike, it almost seems polished or worked over with a buffer. Shows promise but lacks a sense of adventure. 6 out of 10.

Ron Paul: I was fully prepared to declare Paul the winner, his full beard and shaggy locks winning my heart through sheer nonconformity, but I soon realized that due to a clerical error in my computer’s “completely insane people who inexplicably hold doctoral degrees” folder, my portrait of Ron Paul had been replaced by a mugshot of Ted Kaczynski. Unsure of how to proceed. ? out of 10.

Mitt Romney: His haircut looks expensive, but the surprising number of flyaways around the edges doesn’t bode well. Like a Ferrari with a small tear in the fine Italian leather seat, such a miniscule flaw can detract

considerably from the overall value. 7 out of 10.

Rick Santorum: Utterly unremark-able. In fact, it’s difficult to keep writing about the subject. With great effort on my part, I can observe that it’s brown and sort of seems to have been combed before but not recently. If Santorum’s hair was a state, it would undoubtedly be Wyoming. 4 out of 10.

In conclusion, it appears that no Republican candidate has achieved perfect hair yet. My advice to any prospective voters who wish to take part in casting a ballot for this nation’s future but can’t settle on a candidate is to close both eyes and (assuming you’re voting electronically) just sort of smear your fingers all over the screen until something happens.

Basically, ram your arm into the device until it either accepts your vote or you are removed from the premises. Trust me, a few bruises are a small price to pay to have your voice heard.

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
