The challenge the UNT foot-
ball team will face this weekend
becomes clear when looking
to college football spreads:
the Mean Green's opponent
Alabama is favored by 47
points.
UNT will undergo its biggest
test of of the season against the
No.2 Crimson Tide (2-0) at 6:30
p.m. Saturday in Tuscaloosa,
Ala.
"What you see is a team
[Alabama] that plays with unbe-
lievable relentless effort and
plays with such confidence,"
McCarney said. "We all know
that there's going to be a lot of
those guys at Alabama in the
starting lineup that will play
in the NFL."
Win or lose, UNT has some-
thing to gain from the game,
as its athletic department
announced Alabama will pay
UNT $750,000 for facing them

Local 7-Eleven posts photos, mocks thieves

With every customer who
steps foot into the 7-Eleven
on West Oak Street, the omni-
scient eye of the security
camera follows their every
move. Whether they know it or
not, they're being watched.
This particular 7-Eleven has
found a new way of preventing
theft. Starting in November of
last year, owner Chiy Lam and
staff began posting chronolog-
ical photos of people stealing.
The staff writes witty captions
in an attempt to embarrass
the thieves and decrease
theft. The images were taken
frame by frame from security
cameras after the crimes were
committed.
"We put it out to let people
know 'Hey, maybe you're on
camera,"' Lam said. "The
camera is here for security,

stealing from the store.
in case there's a burglary or
fire, but sometimes we see
something funny and decide
to post it on the window."
A series of photos reveals
a man and woman taking
bottles of water and other
items. It includes a photo
showing the woman slipping
them into her purse, believing
she isn't seen, and a sarcastic
caption explaining what the
pair is doing. Another photo
is of a man trying to hide a
candy bar in the back of his
pants, which yielded an even
more sardonic caption.
After seeing theft become a
habit for some, Lam wanted to
remind people that stealing is
not only immoral, but illegal
as well. Rather than slapping
on the cuffs, Lam decided
a slap on the wrist would
suffice.
"We try to let them know
'Do the right thing,"' Lam said.
"If you really need something,
I can help you out, but don't
steal. It becomes a hobby for
some people and if you get
caught stealing, you can screw
up your life. Instead of calling
the cops and getting them
in big trouble, we thought
posting pictures may prevent
re-offenders."

NT 'alum brings
undraising talent
back to Denton

Last month the UNT
System announced the
creation of a new position
to be filled by UNT alumnus
Bill Lively.
Lively began his job as
vice chancellor of strategic
partnerships Sept. 7. The
position exists primarily to
assist and coordinate UNT's
fundraising efforts, which
have seen an unprecedented
amount of success in recent
months, raising about $52
million for the university
over the summer.
"My experience at UNT
was profoundly impactful
to me," Lively said. "It gave
me a lot of confidence. I saw
a chance to return some of
what UNT did for me."
Lively is well known in
North Texas as the presi-
dent and CEO of the North
Texas Super Bowl XLV Host
Committee and his integral
role in raising about $338
million for the construction
of the AT&T Performing Arts
Center.
Lively was raised in Oak
Cliff and has spent most of
his life living and working
in North Texas.
"Well, I'm a
Texan through
and through,"
Lively said.
"The people
are entrepre-
neurial, bold,
BILL sometimes
LIVELY crazy, but all-
around good
people. There's nowhere I'd
rather be."
Frequently described as a
workaholic, he earned schol-
arships and workedmenial jobs
to put himself through Southern
Methodist University.
Lively, a trumpet player and
avid music-lover, earned a bach-
elor's degree from SMU in music
in 1965 and a master's degree
in music education from UNT
in 1970.
He was a band director for
the Dallas Independent School
District and then spent 25 years
working at SMU, first as a music
and band director before moving
on to administrative and fund-
raising duties.
Lively said he met with UNT
President V. Lane Rawlins and
Chancellor Lee Jackson and saw
an opportunity to help his alma
mater.

new police chie
Staff Reports
After evaluating five poten-
tial candidates from across
the country, the city of Denton
announced Thursday after-
noon that Denton County
Chief Deputy Sheriff Warren
Lee Howell was chosen as the
Denton Police Department's
new chief of police.
According to a press release
issued by the city Thursday,
Denton City Manager George
Campbell announced that
Howell will begin working
for Denton P.D. Oct. 21.
Howell has worked in law
enforcement for more than
30 years and first worked for
the Denton PD. in 1981 and
achieved the rank of captain
before leaving in 2004 to work
for the county.
"I am proud to have been
selected to lead an organiza-
tion like the Denton Police
Department, which has a
long tradition of being one
of the most professional and
innovative law enforcement
agencies in the country,"
Howell said in the press
release.
Howell is a UNT alumnus
"I am proud
to have been
selected
to lead.'
-Warren Lee Howell
Denton police chief
with a bachelor's degree in
applied arts and sciences
and is also a member of
the Denton Chamber of
Commerce. Howell was also
a finalist for the position in
2007 when the city hired Roy
Minter as chief of police.
Minter resigned in
February after accepting the
position of police chief for
Peoria, Ariz. Paul Abbott, a
retired Denton P.D. captain,
has served as interim police
chief since Minter announced
his resignation.

ancer incidence rate rises or Denton
What's Inside
Nicole Balderas
Senior StaffWriter
In Denton County and five
surrounding counties, breast
cancer incidence is on the
rise, leading to studies being
done to determine the reason
for the spike.
The rise in breast cancer
rates is occurring in the
Barnett Shale area where
natural gas drilling is going
on, affecting the "core coun-
ties" of Denton, Johnson,
Tarrant and Wise, according
to the Railroad Commission
of Texas website.
" We were looking at a number
of things like benzene and its
effects on cancer levels. "
-Chris Van Deusen
Assistant press officer for the Texas
Department of State Health Services
According to the Texas
Cancer Registry, the average of
all six counties' breast cancer
incidence rate has risen from
58.7 cases per 100,000 people
in 2005 to about 60.7 per
100,000 in 2008.
The possible link between
carcinogens leaked into the
air from drilling and the rise
in cancer rates has led to
several studies being done in
the Dallas Fort-Worth area.
"We were looking at
a number of things like
benzene and its effects on
cancer levels," said Chris Van
Deusen, assistant press officer
for the Texas Department
of State Health Serv
ices. "We did not find anything
outside of what you would
expect."
