The survey results also
showed that the UNT commu-
nity wanted mobile access
to a campus map, calendar
and events, myUNT, contact
information, information
updates, Blackboard access
and athletics information,
according to the presenta-
tion.
While Blackboard is
not compatible with the
current mobile site, there
are plans to take Blackboard
mobile, Moffitt said.
"There is another group
on campus working on
upgrading the current version
of Blackboard," Moffitt
said. "Once that is done, we
should be compatible with
the free Android and iPhone
Blackboard apps."
The mobile MyUNT inte-
gration will offer the most
requested functions, according

into everything," Moreno said.
"With the advancements of
technology, almost [every
student] has a smartphone
that has Internet access. It
makes it easier to keep up with
your classes on the go."
Moreno said she usually
visits the UNT website daily.
"It was really slow because
you had to wait for the full
site to load," Moreno said.
"Everything I use and check
is on the mobile version."
Sandra Jaimes, a commu-
nication design freshman,
said she feels it is conve-
nient for new students.
"There is a map listing the
buildings alphabetically,
letting you know where each
building is located."
UNT To Go is available
by entering m.unt.edu on
Internet-capable mobile
devices. The site can also be
bookmarked and added to the
mobile phone's homepage for
easier access.

"It's also important to watch
what you drink," Massey said.
"Soft drinks and flavored
juices can have a lot of calo-
ries. It might be obvious, but
people forget the obvious."
For students who are extra
conscious about what they
put in their body,

known for its vegetarian and

"We've always tried to offer
vegetarian and vegan entrees,"

According to the American
Dietetic Association, National

1973 as a weeklong obser-

Food hits pleasure centers

Melissa White, a speech
and language pathology
junior, said she turns to junk
food most often during stress,
but has a hard time turning
it down any time it is put in
front of her.
"I eat a lot of junk food
— usually anything sweet
like ice cream, cupcakes and
brownies. It makes me feel
better while I'm eating it, but
sometimes I feel worse after-
ward because I realize what
I just ate."
Stephanie Rodriguez, a
general studies junior, also
turns to the sweets, but bakes
them herself in an effort to
better keep track of the ingre-
dients in her snacks.
"My roommate and I were
talking about this the other
day, and we figured out that
we did eat a lot more junk
food when we had to study
for a test or were in a rush,"
Rodriguez said. "After I eat
junk food, I normally feel
worse because I had too much
of it. But if I had a bite or two,
I feel fine. It just depends
what kind of junk food it

SGA calls for 24/7
Willis library hours
Resolution to eo !ha' d to
O keep the library open longer
>efore Rawlin
for approval
keep the library open longer
before Rawlins might limit the amount of
resources the library could
provide for students.
"We really need the
libraries open 24 hours,"
said Mikeyia Dawkins, a
senator for the College of
Arts and Sciences. "I come
on the weekends — that's
when I do my work — and
they close extra early."
By Isaac Wright
Senior Staff Writer
In an effort to give all
students greater access
to UNT's Willis Library,
the Student Government
Association passed a resolu-
tion calling for the library
to be open 24/7.
The Willis Library's
current hours are Monday
through Thursday from
7:30 a.m. to 2 a.m., and 7:30
a.m. to midnight Friday.
Saturday, the library is
open from 9:00 a.m. to
midnight, and Sunday it
is only open from 1 p.m. to
2 a.m. Ryan Cho, a senator _
for the Texas Academy of
Math and Science, presented
a resolution encouraging
the university to extend
the library's hours. Cho
said about 180 of the top
research universities in the
country have libraries that
are open at all hours, and
UNT should follow suit.
"It should be open 24/7
so that the students, when-
ever they want, they can go
to the library," Cho said.
"It gives the students the
freedom to learn whenever
they want/'
The resolution will now
go to UNT President V. Lane
Rawlins for approval. If
approved, the president will
then pass the resolution on
to the dean of libraries.
The majority of sena-
tors spoke in favor of the
resolution. However, some
senators voiced concerns
It gives students
the freedom to
learn whenever
they want"
—Ryan Cho,
TAMS senator
The student senate also
passed a bill requiring the
executive staff to update the
senate about the organiza-
tion's budget at every other
senate meeting.
Tori Kuhn, a senator for
the College of Business,
presented the bill to avoid
situations where sena-
tors are unaware of money
the executive branch is
spending.
The bill also requires the
executive staff to post an
updated budget on the SGA
website every two weeks.
Kuhn said this will help
inform students where their
money is going.
"We're such a 'click here'
generation," Kuhn said.
"Having all our informa-
tion readily available for
students online is probably
one of the most important
things that we can do."
