Probation
from page 1
Out of the roughly 300 cam-
pus organizations at NT, four
are currently on some form of
disciplinary action, according to
David Marling, director of stu-
dent life.
Marling and his staff in the
Center for Student Rights and
Responsibilities keep track
of NT's many organizations,
ranging from fraternities and
sororities to the Albino Squirrel
Preservation Society and Mu
Epsilon Kappa, the anime club.
Marling said those four orga-
nizations on suspension or pro-
bation are not representative of
the rest of the groups — every
campus is different, he said, and
all of NT's organizations hold
themselves to high standards.
"I don't know nationally
where we stand," he said, "I can
say, from my experience, we're
better than the way we used to
be, and I think thafs a reflec-
tion on the organizations and the
people they work with."
According to Marling, two
fraternities, Kappa Alpha and
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, were sus-
pended in 2001 and 2003, respec-
tively, and two others, Sigma
Lambda Beta and Sigma Chi, are
on probation through 2006.
Troy LeForge, assistant dean
of students for Greek life, con-
firmed the status of the fraterni-
ties but declined to comment
further.
The groups' infractions range
from threatening behavior for
Kappa Alpha to alcohol infrac-
tions for Sigma Chi and haz-
ing for Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Marling said he was not sure
why Sigma Lambda Beta was
put on probation.
"Basically, if an organization
is on probation, you put them on
notice," he said. They did some-
thing unacceptable, he added,
but not enough to warrant a
suspension. "There may be some
terms and conditions they need
to meet before probation ends.
That just says if something else
happens there could be a sus-
pension."
Marling said his depart-
ment issues a formal report
each semester on the number
of hazing incidences reported
each year. Information on other
infractions was drawn from sev-
eral other reports, he said, and
was current to the best of his
knowledge,
According to Kenneth Ballom,
dean of students, all campus
organizations are held to the
same standards as all students
— they can be disciplined for
any of the same types of infrac-
tions prohibited by the student
code of conduct.

Rudy
from page 1
Ruettiger said it was then that he started to daydream
about how the first lady thought his movie was inspira-
tional, and he decided to become a speaker.
From that point, Ruettiger preached about putting
negative influences out of life and staying determined to
achieve goals.
He spoke about the importance of getting excited
about goals.
"It's important to be a proactive person, have that
infectious can-do attitude and not allow goofy thoughts
to keep you from trying," he said.
He told the crowd not to allow pessimistic or "goofy"
thoughts to keep them from "getting off the bench and
getting in the game."
After the speech, "Rudy" signed autographs and
answered questions from the audience.
"I thought his speech was pretty good," Preston Allen,
Heath junior, said. "It reminded me to keep my goals to
myself and not allow other people to make me think I
can't achieve them."

Fry Street
from page 1
Will Kapinos, guitarist and
lead vocalist of jetscreamer,
said he is thrilled to play at
the recently-returned Fry Street
Fair. Jetscreamer also played at
the fair in 1996 and 1998.
"It seems this year the fair is
going back to what it used to
be, which I think is really cool,"
Kapinos said. "If you were a
fan of local music, you got to
go see your favorite hometown
bands, you got to see them be
heroes on the big stage outside
in the middle of Denton."
Kapinos said he enjoyed the
fair a lot more before the lodge
invited national touring bands
to perform, which he said took
away the fair's hometown feel.
"This year, it's nothing but
cool people putting it together,
if s a real small scale show and
ifs going to be all your local
heroes on Fry Street again,"
Kapinos said. "I don't think if s
going to be the same uptight
atmosphere anymore, where it
costs too much to get in. It used
to be just a big nightmare."
Teich agrees that the
revamped fair will be an
improvement over past
years."[Moving the fair to
Dallas] was an experiment, it
didn't work and we were sad
to see it go to Deep Ellum,"
Teich said. "It seemed like
the right thing to do at the
time, but now we're going to
bring it back home where it
belongs."
