Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science students study Tuesday, while uni-versity rejection letters hang on the wall in the Mac Café of McConnell Hall. TAMS tuition will add a $1,300 program charge in fall 2012.

HOLLY HARVEYSenior Staff Writer

UNT’s Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science will re-implement a yearly program charge of $1,300 starting in fall 2012, TAMS Dean Richard Sinclair said.

TAMS previously imple-mented the program charge from 2003 until 2009, when the Texas Legislature increased allotment for students and TAMS received additional funding.

However, the legislature reduced public education funding and cut TAMS special item funding by 25 percent in 2011, resulting in the reinsti-tution of the program charge, Sinclair said.

“I hate having to increase the price. I don’t want to do it,” Sinclair said. “Hopefully this charge will be temporary, depending on the future legis-lative decisions.”

TAMS is a two-year program in which high school students attend college classes and live on campus while also conducting research in math-ematics and science.

Applications to TAMS have increased 12 percent in the last year, Sinclair said. The program has 376 students enrolled this

semester.“Kids can graduate early from

college through TAMS, and it’s a worthwhile investment,” Sinclair said. “More people than ever are trying to get in the door.”

Without the addition of the program charge, TAMS students pay about $7,700 for expenses and room and board fees.

Sinclair said other possible options to save money include filling open rooms in McConnell Hall with college students and reducing TAMS services such as academic counselors.

“We don’t own the halls; UNT Housing does,” Sinclair said. “Putting college students in with

TAMS students would be an abso-lute last resort.”

Graduating TAMS senior Coralyn Bingman will not be affected by the increase but said the charge is concerning people.

“Some of my friends are a bit worried,” Bingman said. “The price increase is happening, so most people are just trying accepting it.”

TAMS junior Sally Tran said because of the increase, her family will have to be more careful with money.

“I will still be able to attend TAMS, but I’ll have to cut back on spending and on things like vaca-tion,” Tran said.

Old school gamers revive titles from the past

PHOTO BY JORDAN FOSTER/INTERN

BCIS senior Luke Robinson picks through Nintendo 64 cartridges at Game X Change. He and his friend have just recently bought a Nintendo 64 console to play games from their childhood.

JORDAN FOSTERIntern

Video games have come a long way from the penny arcades and two-dimensional space invaders of the 1970s – in 2011, the industry was valued at more than $65 billion, according to gaming firm DFC Intelligence.

Joysticks and plastic buttons almost seem quaint now that companies such as Microsoft have developed devices as advanced as the Kinect, which makes it possible for both casual and dedi-cated fans to play games with a mere flick of the wrist or a change in the inflection of their voice.

In light of climbing sales and new technological feats, some may think that games of the past are long forgotten. Employees at the Game X Change on University Lane say that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The Game X Change – one of 40 stores scattered throughout Arkansas and Texas – is keeping the spirit of Nintendo and “Ms. Pac Man” alive by supplying a growing community of vintage gamers.

Radio, television and film senior Peter Sowards has been working part time at the Denton shop for about a year. He has seen firsthand the vintage market taking off and takes pride in the store’s biggest attraction.

“The resale of Nintendo and Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and all Sony consoles prob-ably encompasses 60 percent

of our business,” Sowards said. “Nintendo 64 is a great example; we cannot keep a Nintendo 64 in our store. Everybody loves N64.”

As stores such as Hastings and GameStop moved away from the vintage market, Sowards said

Game X Change found its niche. Although it’s one of the smaller game stores in the Denton area, casual customers and collec-tors alike travel from towns and cities as far away as Sherman to flick through the shelves of old school Nintendo, Sega and Atari

games. The store offers customers a

place to buy games from their childhood and to sell titles for cash or in-store credit.

Vintage gaming may be the store’s strong suit, but it also deals in new games and platforms as

well as used DVDs. Sowards said the majority of the store’s customers are regulars.

Denton resident Damian Z. Hicks has been going to Game X Change with his 11-year-old son Mecca since the store opened. He said he enjoys teaching his

son the value of a dollar by taking him to the store and finds it to be ideal place for the lesson.

“It’s almost like a mom-and-pop store,” Hicks said. “Instead of a Best Buy or GameStop, it’s just a better environment for me. There are lessons that places like this can teach kids about managing money and enjoying video games.”

Business computer infor-mation systems senior Luke Robinson recently discovered the store and said he was excited to buy games for his Nintendo 64.

“We recently got a 64, and it’s been kind of cool to go back and revisit those old games,” Robinson said. “For some reason it’s just fun.”

At the Game X Change in Denton, vintage game collec-tors have found a place to call home, where they can buy, sell and trade their old treasures. Sowards is happy to see the vintage community picking up steam and is happy to work at a store that accommodates that particular market.

“‘Mario’ never dies. Neither does ‘Zelda,’” Sowards said. “Everyone comes in here looking for ‘Mario’ or ‘Zelda’ because they played them when they were a kid. They really want to relive that nostalgic time from their childhood, and that’s what we are here for.”

Class explores Jewish graphic novels

Jewish Studies lecturer Marshal Needleman Armintor holds “Jamilti and Other Sto-ries” by Rutu Modan in his o� ce Tuesday. “It’s mind boggling,” Armintor said of one of many graphic novels that “raises interesting questions” about Jewish history.

KATIE OLSONIntern

Nex t seme ster, U N T’s Jewish Studies Program will be offering a new class called “The Jewish Graphic Novel,” which will study the history of the genre and the artists’ impressions of the Jewish experience.

Taught by English lecturer and graduate adviser Marshall Needleman Armintor, students will look at the work of Jewish-American and Israeli writers and artists from the Golden Age of Comic Books during the mid-20th century – the era of Superman, Batman and Captain America – to the modern day.

“One of the interesting things is the diversity of the Jewish experience,” Armintor said. “There’s a wide variety of perspectives represented.”

Armintor, who has taught two classes on graphic novels and has given talks on the subject at various synagogues, said nearly every innovation in comic book writing and illus-tration comes from a Jewish author or artist.

The class will be studying va r ious autobiog raph ica l comics about urban life in America as well as selections from Israeli graphic novels. Course material will include “Farm 54” by siblings Galit and Gilad Seliktar. The graphic

novel follows life on a kibbutz – an Israeli agricultural commu-nity – in the 1920s.

History professor Richard

Golden, director of UNT’s Jew ish St ud ies Prog ra m, believes “The Jewish Graphic Novel” course is a good addi-tion to the curriculum because it coincides with the program’s goal of disseminating infor-mation about Judaism and Israel.

“This course is about an

important genre of Jewish literature and fits into the Jew ish St ud ies P rog ra m nicely,” Golden said.

G o l d e n e n c o u r a g e d students to take a course in the Jewish Studies Program to help benefit their academic career.

“I think that in order to be considered educated, a person needs to know something about the contributions of Jews and Judaism to Western civilization,” he said.

Eng l ish senior A ndrew McGinnis, who has taken two courses with Armintor, said he was enthusiastic to get a different perspective on the graphic novel.

“Armintor’s great, and I don’t know much about the graphic novel so I thought it would be a good starting point,” McGinnis said.

McGinnis expects that by the end of the semester, he will have reached a better under-standing of what, to him, is a completely new subject.

“I’ll know the basic tech-niques of the graphic novel, the themes, the motifs and the techniques used in a relatively new art form,” he said.

A r m i nt or h op e s t h a t students will learn through the course to grasp the ability of comics to address subjects in any way, treating literary history as a living thing.

“It’s always a learning expe-rience, and I’m always really impressed by our students’ creative responses to intel-lectual challenges,” Armintor said.

Mean Green Trivia

BRETT MEDEIROSSenior Staff Writer

After falling to the then-No. 8 Oklahoma Sooners in February, the Mean Green softball team (19-21-1) will take another shot at the No. 7 Sooners (35-6) today in Norman, Okla.

Every year since the 2004 season, UNT has played at least two games against the Sooners. In this season’s first meeting, Oklahoma took a 4-1 road win. With the loss, the Mean Green fell to 0-20 all-time against OU. In those games, Oklahoma has outscored UNT 141-31.

“Against a team like this, we will have to stay focused all the way through the game,” head coach T.J. Hubbard said. “Every out, play and situation is impor-tant.”

Led by All-American junior pitcher Keilani Ricketts, the

UNT’s high-powered o� ense tries to solve OU pitching

OU pitchers are No. 1 in the nation with a .92 earned run average.

Ricketts is in the top 10 of every national statistical cate-gory for a starting pitcher.

“We have to attack her [Ricketts] early,” sophomore pitcher Ashley Kirk said. “She’ll only give us a few good pitches to hit. There is a reason she’s at the point she is now. She’s good.”

In the teams’ first matchup of the season, Ricketts came within one out of pitching a perfect game before sopho-more infielder Brooke Foster drew a walk with two outs in the seventh inning.

While Oklahoma’s pitching appears in every national cate-gory, UNT still has something to boast about. The Mean Green is No. 37 in the nation with .90 home runs per game.

Spots two through seven in the Mean Green’s batting order

have produced 35 of the team’s 37 home runs this season.

Seniors infielder Maddelyn Fraley (10) and Caitlin Grimes (9) rank third and fourth, respectively, on the confer-ence’s home run list.

“Whenever we play Big 12 teams we always seem to step up to the occasion and give them a tough fight,” senior outfielder Megan Rupp said. “We’ll do just fine if we go out there and play our brand of softball, and have some fun while we’re out there as well.”

This game against Oklahoma signals the beginning of the final stretch of the season for the Mean Green.

The team will play two more conference series and three more games against noncon-ference opponents, then it will start the Sun Belt Conference Tournament if it qualifies in May.

The first pitch is at 6 p.m.

For the first and only time this of fseason, the Mean Green volleyball team will play at home, as it hosts SMU at the Mean Green Volleyball Complex tonight.

Unlike the previous two tournaments UNT has played in, the match against SMU will be more like a match in the fall. The team will play one team to best three out of five games, rather than four different teams in a tourna-ment-style setting.

The match will have no bearing on UNT’s record in the fall. The scrimmage is a time for head coach Ken Murczek to experiment with different lineups and for the team to gain playing experi-ence, Murczek said.

UNT and SMU met at the UT-Arlington tournament last weekend en route to the Mean Green’s best performance of the offseason. UNT won both sets.

Murczek said he thinks SMU will set its game plan around stopping 6-foot-3-inch middle blocker junior Courtney Windham, who had several blocks while hitting at an efficient rate against SMU last weekend.

“They’re definitely going to key on her because she was a one-woman wrecking machine against them,” he said.

The team, which is trying to get the band in the Mean Green Volleyball Complex for the game, is looking forward to its only opportunity to play a home match in front of fans that made UNT volley-bal l the highest-attended

UNT hosts SMU in lone home match of o� season

volleyball school in the Sun Belt Conference for two years straight, Murczek said.

However, out of the four allowed competition dates in the offseason, Murczek only wanted one home match so his young team could experience traveling and playing teams on the road.

“You’re going to play half of your matches on the road, so it’s good to go out into different environments to learn how to

deal,” he said.Leading up to the match,

Murczek and assistant coach Sarah Rumely have used their own playing experiences in college to gauge how to push the team in practice.

“We’ll get a good test here against SMU because they’re a pretty good, talented team that plays in a good confer-ence,” Murczek said.

The match starts at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

NT Daily Edboard: Nods and Shakes

Graffiti should be seen as an art, not vandalism

Gingrich’s campaign has come

to inevitable end

Staff Editorial

Nod: Rick Villarreal

It’s been a dramatic year for UNT basketball. In both men’s and women’s ball, it’s as though the organizations took a step forward, and the universe has tried to send us two steps back-ward.

The women’s basketball team jumped from an atrocious 5-25 record in the 2010-2011 season to an improved 15-16 record in the 2011-12 season, good for the second-best turnaround in school history. This improvement was a product of a fantastic personnel decision on behalf of UNT Athletic Director Rick Villarreal in hiring head coach Karen Aston.

Aston brought the team out of the slums of the Sun Belt and made UNT a real contender; however, this offseason she took the head coaching job at University of Texas at Austin.

Villarreal quickly found an excel-lent replacement for Aston in former Wake Forest head coach Mike Petersen. Leaving the Demon Deacons as their all-time winningest coach, Petersen won 35 games for Wake over his last two seasons as their coach. He’s coached for 19 years and led Wake Forest to 20 wins last season.

If Villarreal finds someone as quali-fied as Petersen for men’s ball, then both sides of the program will surely be in good hands.

Shake: U.S. Secret Service

Last week’s Colombia trip seemed to bring out the party in America’s governmental representatives. For Hillary Clinton, that meant drinking a beer straight from a bottle. For 11 members of the Secret Service, it meant bringing 21 prostitutes back to their rooms for themselves and other military personnel.

W hen police arrived at the Cartagena Hotel and began asking questions, the agents, highly trained in deception, couldn’t put together a story that made sense.

Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan told New York Representative

Peter King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, that the 11 agents were all telling different stories to the authorities.

Along with the moral flaws demon-strated by these agents’ decisions comes an almost comical incompe-tence.

Although President Obama wasn’t in the country at the time of the debacle, nefarious characters still could have wrangled important infor-mation about his security from these drunken buffoons.

For the complete absence of profes-sionalism and general lack of situa-tional awareness, the Secret Service receives a shake from the Edboard.

Long ago – 30,000 B.C.E. to be exact – people made markings on cave walls, depicting great hunts and travels. Those handprints and rough figures can still be seen today. They stood the test of time to give us a better idea of who those people were. It was their voice, their way of saying, “I exist,” it was graffiti. You either love it or hate it, it’s either art or junk. Should graffiti be condoned? I say yes.

There are 7,00,000,000 people on this planet and counting. Cities are crowded, and people are merely numbers. Graffiti is a way for No. 6,840,501,000 to say, “I exist, and this is what I have to say.” Regardless of laws, graffiti – or “street art” – is a trove of information and self-expres-sion. It can have a message or serve to decorate or beautify something ugly or plain. Self-expression and art should belong to the world regardless of medium, not just to those who can afford $1,500 for space on a billboard. If advertisers can use the world to get their messages out, it should be our canvas as well.

The general public calls it vandalism. In some instances, yes it is. People’s homes and places of worship and burial should remain sacred and shouldn’t be touched. In the city of Dallas, it is considered a class B misdemeanor if someone is caught writing graffiti on a surface without the owner’s permission.

Yet, if it’s “pretty,” it usually remains, especially if it is in a neigh-borhood no one really cares about. Banksy, a world-famous street artist, has risen to rock-star fame. His work is considered advantageous for tourism in London and is actu-ally protected.

Shepard Fairey, the creator and owner of Obey Giant clothing, most famous for his stenciled blue and red image of President Obama, began his career as a street artist. He began posting his images all over the country “illegally,” on the sides of buildings and billboards. Fairey’s street campaign was so successful that he received a letter from Obama himself, thanking him for his contri-bution to his campaign.

Deep Ellum prides itself on its street art, yet if anyone adds to it, they are vandalizing. There should be rules implemented to avert street artists from damaging sacred places and personal homes, but this double standard exemplifies why graffiti laws are ridiculous.

Graffiti is one of the oldest forms of self-expression. Regardless of its message, it should remain as one of the public forms of expression and art. Everyone should have the right to express who they are, regardless of the surface.

For those not following the farcical adventure that is the race for the Republican nomination, there’s one fewer name to half-heartedly follow. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is flat broke.

The check for the $500 filing fee to get on the ballot in Utah bounced last week leaving some – me – wondering what was going through his head. Fellow students, if you had $500 left in your election coffers, wouldn’t it be better spent somewhere that isn’t already heavily biased towards Mitt Romney?

Let’s face it, the only person who could have beat Romney in Utah would have been Jon Huntsman, and he dropped out 3 months ago. Real talk, Newt never had the oppor-tunity to win. His only claims to fame were welfare reform and being the first Republican speaker since the 1960s.

Hell, the guy shut down the government because Clinton made him sit at the back of the plane on a trip back from Israel in 1995. You won’t hear that from his supporters. I’m still not sure how this man even became associated with the Christian Right. He’s been married twice, has had multiple affairs, and he divorced his first wife while she had cancer.

According to L. H. Carter, Gingrich’s campaign treasurer, Gingrich said of his first wife, “She’s not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer.”

How do you believe someone to be moral and upright when he wants a divorce because his wife got old? Beyond his personal matters, his policies are absurd, and they’ve

only gotten worse throughout the campaign. He’s anti-judicial activism, except when the Supreme Court rules against Obamacare.

He wants a balanced budget but continues to support big business subsidies.

He wants to give the death penalty to drug smugglers, even after coming out in support of medical marijuana in 1982.

The man believes that flex-fuel (E85) mandates in new vehicles are a matter of national security.

H o w d o e s t h i s m u c h c r a z y get t a ken ser iou sl y ? It’s all about looking at a candidate for what he really is.

Looking at Newt’s past and comparing it to what he’s saying now, I st i l l can’t understand why people will vote for him. Newt, bro, you’re smart. You were a professor, and you have a doctorate in history; do you actually believe the words that you’re saying?

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
