Here's video link to Keith playing the drums: http://www.keithcarlock.com/video/MD2005carlock.wmv

Nice pickup for the Mean Green. It sounds like Johnny and staff are focusing on getting quality transfers versus high school players. Makes sense to me. He is accumulating some very heralded players and it will be interesting to see how they gel. Dennis was a great high school player and showed promise at USF.

Great show, but probably the highlight of the night was the drummer for Steely Dan. Just an amazing talent that doesn't try to show-off but is so good that it is hard to take your eyes off of him. Anyway, after a couple of songs when Walter Becker was introducing this amazing ensemble of musicians I've ever heard, he starts to introduce the drummer. "Now we'd like to introduce a Cinderalla story, an awesome musician and great person who attended North Texas State University, Mr. Keith Carlock." The crowd just went crazy! Anyhow, here's a link to Keith's bio which mentions his music professor at UNT and why he chose to attend UNT over places like Berkley etc... http://www.keithcarlock.com/bio.htm If you ever get a chance to hear this guy play live - do it! He was handpicked by Sting to be on his tour and his list of artists who he has collaborated with is amazing. We have a lot to be proud of folks and I was very proud to be a UNT grad last night. GMG!

I have not heard of any changes. Sometimes they have ommissions on the website when they are updating it.

http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...27s.8e7944.html Lowe heads UNT’s ’06 Class 08:59 AM CDT on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer Richard Lowe came to an understanding with the North Texas athletic department before he agreed to take over as the Mean Green’s men’s soccer coach in 1980. Lowe had a job in the history department and didn’t want to venture too far from his career path, so he agreed to coach for one season. More than a decade later, Lowe was still UNT’s soccer coach and the Mean Green were a national power. UNT was ranked as high as No. 7 in the national poll and became the first team in school history in any sport to advance to the NCAA Tournament during Lowe’s tenure that lasted from 1980-93. UNT honored Lowe for those accomplishments on Monday when the athletic department included him in its 2006 Hall of Fame Class that features six former Mean Green greats. Vidal Carlin, Troy Redwine and Dick “Rosebud” Lindsay all represented the football program while Victor Rodriguez (track and field) and Bill Eschenbrenner (golf) also joined Lowe in UNT’s latest induction class that will be honored on Oct. 7 during homecoming. That ceremony will offer a reminder of one of the greatest teams in UNT history, one that Lowe helped build from a club program in the early 1970s. “We felt like we had a chance to be a good soccer program back when it was just a club team,” Lowe said. “We played against college teams and the Dallas-Fort Worth area was one of the hottest spots in the country for soccer talent.” Lowe started out as a faculty sponsor of the club team from 1971-75 and helped convince the UNT athletic department to elevate the team to varsity status in 1976. When Simon Sanchez resigned as head coach in 1980, athletic director Andy Everest asked Lowe to take over. Lowe faced what looked like an insurmountable task in his first game as head coach, when the Mean Green took on national power Indiana. “They were ranked first or second in the country, depending on what poll you were going by,” Lowe said. “Horacio Duhart beat their goalkeeper on a breakaway to give us the win. I thought about retiring right there.” Indiana went on to win the national title that season, while Lowe had found a job for the next 14 years. UNT was ranked among the top 20 teams in the nation for much of Lowe’s tenure and never had a losing season. In 1981, Lowe’s team qualified for the NCAA Tournament and won its first-round game over Eastern Illinois. John Hedlund served as an assistant under Lowe before starting the UNT women’s soccer program from scratch in 1995. “I learned a lot from Richard that I have used in the women’s program,” said Hedlund, who has led UNT to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two seasons. “He taught me all phases of how to run a program from recruiting to the budget to how to build a relationship with players.” Lowe’s tenure as UNT’s men’s soccer coach came to an end when the program was disbanded. Lowe said the decision was based in part on concerns about Title IX gender equity legislation that requires schools to offer equal opportunities to male and female athletes. The scores and records from that era have been lost over the years, but live on with Lowe and his former players. “It’s nice to have this happen,” Lowe said. “It brings back some of the memories from that era.” BRETT VITO can be reached at 940-566-6870.

NORTH TEXAS HALL OF FAME CLASS The North Texas athletic department announced its 2006 Hall of Fame Class on Monday. * Troy Redwine — UNT’s all-time leading receiver with 2,567 yards helped lead the Mean Green to a No. 18 national ranking in Division I-AA in 1994 and the Southland Conference championship. * Vidal Carlin — Started at quarterback for UNT in 1965-66 and led the Mean Green to an 8-2 record and the Missouri Valley Conference Championship as a senior. Carlin guided UNT to wins over UTEP, Louisville and Cincinnati and was ranked fourth nationally as a senior in passing. Threw for 3,233 yards and 25 touchdowns in his career. * Dick “Rosebud” Lindsay (Old Timers Committee selection) — Lettered three times as an offensive tackle in the late 1940s and helped lead the Mean Green to the Salad Bowl in 1948. * Victor Rodriguez — Three-year letterman in track was the first Hispanic to receive an athletic scholarship at UNT in 1952. Played a key role in helping UNT win the Border Olympics and the Fort Worth Track Meets. * Bill Eschenbrenner — Three-year letterman in golf from 1958-60 helped lead UNT to the Southern Intercollegiate championship in 1958 and a runner-up finish in the 1958 and 1960 Missouri Valley Conference Championships. Eschenbrenner went on to a decorated career as a golf pro and was a 2005 finalist for National PGA Professional of the Year. * Richard Lowe — Served as UNT’s men’s soccer coach from 1980-93.

http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...p.3e7d2ff4.html Basketball: UNT picks up recruit for its 2007-08 class 09:21 AM CDT on Sunday, July 9, 2006 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer North Texas locked up one of the top young frontcourt players in South Texas recently for its 2007 recruiting class that now includes two players. Brittani Bailey, a 6-2 post, said Friday that she has orally committed to play for the Mean Green beginning in the 2007-08 season. Bailey will begin her senior season at Alvin this fall. Oral commitments are non-binding. The first day incoming seniors can sign national letters of intent in basketball is Nov. 8. “I liked the education I could get at North Texas, the facilities and the coaches,” Bailey said. “They reminded me of my high school coach. I feel like I will be able to continue to develop and become a good all-around player at North Texas.” Bailey was the Defensive Player of the Year in District 24-5A last season in addition to being a first-team all-league selection. She averaged 12.8 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, despite being younger than most of the players in her class. Bailey is still 16 years old. “Brittani has a ton of potential,” Alvin coach Julie McMinn said. “She runs the floor well and changes shots defensively. She will continue to mature physically.” Bailey’s potential attracted the attention of several programs from the Southwest and beyond. Colorado, Oregon, UT-Arlington, Stephen F. Austin and Arkansas-Little Rock were all recruiting Bailey when she committed to UNT. Bailey said Janice Dziuk, who became UNT’s recruiting coordinator after last season, took the lead role in recruiting her over the last few months. Signing Bailey could help fill a void in the post for the Mean Green in the next few years. UNT will have five post players on its roster next season, including three who will be seniors in the 2007-08 campaign when Bailey is a freshman. McMinn believes Bailey will continue to improve her standing among Texas high school players as a senior and will be ready to make an impact at UNT early in her career. “Committing early will help Brittani,” McMinn said. “She will be able to play loose and free. She was really nervous when Janice came to see her play.” The addition of Bailey gives UNT two players who will form the basis of its 2007 recruiting class. Former Colorado point guard Yari Escalera transferred to UNT after last season and will sit out the upcoming year to fulfill NCAA transfer rules. Bailey is the fourth player to commit to UNT since the Mean Green won the Sun Belt Conference West Division title and finished with a 19-9 record last season. UNT has added Mamie James, a guard from Tyler Junior College, and Lysa Koubiteb, a post from Midland Junior Col-lege, in addition to Escalera and Bailey. BRETT VITO can be reached at 940-566-6870.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...t.2f6b4c28.html Sole finalist for UNT post named Denton: Official in N.C. would be school's first female president 09:34 PM CDT on Thursday, July 6, 2006 By JAMES M. O'NEILL / The Dallas Morning News The top academic official for the University of North Carolina system was tapped Thursday as the sole finalist to be the next president of the University of North Texas. Dr. Gretchen Bataille Gretchen M. Bataille, 61, a scholar of Native American literature with a vast background as an academic administrator at large university systems in California, North Carolina and Washington state, is poised to become UNT's 14th president and the first woman to hold that post. Dr. Bataille would replace Norval Pohl, who has been president since 2000 and decided last summer to step down at the end of August. "She's the best," said Molly Broad, former head of the University of North Carolina system. "She has expertise in virtually every aspect of university leadership: budgets, faculty, fundraising. She is the complete package." UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson said Dr. Bataille "brings a great depth, breadth and balance, and she has an engaging, relaxed and self-confident personality." He said Dr. Bataille would be responsible for taking UNT's new master plan, approved in May, and turning the broad goals into clear, concrete administrative policies. One of those goals is to boost UNT's research efforts. Mr. Jackson said UNT's faculty hiring had been driven primarily by growth in student enrollment. But he would like to see hiring focus on research and the potential for a faculty member's ability to attract outside grant money. He said boosting the UNT endowment is another goal. The bulk of UNT's meager $37 million endowment is tied directly to student scholarships. Mr. Jackson wants to generate gifts that would support more faculty positions and research programs. Colleagues in North Carolina say Dr. Bataille is well suited for the role. Academic leaders sometimes lack the skills necessary to deal with politicians, civic organizations, booster clubs and major donors, said J. Craig Souza, vice chair of the University of North Carolina governing board. "But Gretchen is articulate, can communicate at all levels, and has the important social skills – she works a room well," he said. "She works constantly," said Jeffrey Davies, the chief of staff to UNC system President Erskine Bowles. "She's one of the most prepared people I've ever met. She's very principled.." For the past year, Dr. Bataille was interim chancellor at North Carolina School of the Arts – one of the system's campuses that had endured financial and accounting problems. "She came at a very challenging time and brought so much clarity to the campus with a lot of grace," said Trish Casey, a contemporary dance instructor who was chair of the faculty council. "She's an excellent communicator, and our campus was in dire need of someone to provide candid communication," Ms. Casey said. Dr. Bataille spent much of her career focused on civil rights and diversity. "I was the first in my family to go to college, so I understood the importance of college access to higher education," she said. She grew up in Mishawaka, Ind., and through high school and college worked at the soda fountain her parents ran. She started her academic career in English literature, but when she sought her doctorate, she turned her back on traditional subjects like Shakespeare, Hemingway and Faulkner. "Native American literature was a field that had not been explored," she said. "Plus, there were a lot of emerging writers in the field, and I saw an opportunity to bring their work into the classroom." Ever since, she has pursued her interests in diversity and American Indian culture, often combining the two. For a time, she chaired the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, and she wrote the grant that created the American Indian Institute at Arizona State University. While at ASU, she also chaired a presidential committee on assessing quality and diversity. She initiated and chaired the American Indian Studies program at Iowa State University. She also keeps a hand in teaching and research. Her latest book is due out in September – a primer for administrators on how to attract and retain top faculty. Mr. Davies said Dr. Bataille embraced diversity at North Carolina, hiring more women and minorities for the administrative staff across the 16-campus system. Mr. Jackson said that's also a goal at UNT. "We want a faculty and student body that reflect the state, and we have some room to grow on that front," he said. "Dr. Bataille's experience in this area will help us move forward." In 2005, 74 percent of UNT's 556 tenured faculty were men, and 85 percent were white. Only 23 tenured professors – or 4 percent – were black. Only 21 were Hispanic. Among the 8,491 newly enrolled students at UNT last fall, 65 percent were white. Blacks represented 13 percent of new students, and Hispanics represented 12 percent. Before the UNT system's trustees can elect Dr. Bataille president, Texas law requires a 21-day waiting period after her announcement as the sole finalist. Hours after Thursday morning's announcement, Dr. Bataille was on campus meeting with campus leaders. She is to meet with several other campus leaders today.

Bataille slated to become university's 14th president 05:02 PM CDT on Thursday, July 6, 2006 By Matthew Zabel / Staff Writer Dr. Gretchen M Bataille, the academic chief of the 16-campus University North Carolina system since 2000, is slated to become the University of North Texas’ 14th president. Dr. Gretchen Bataille UNT regents meeting today via teleconference unanimously named her the only finalist for the presidency, which Dr. Norval Pohl is vacating next month. UNT Chancellor Lee Jackson said Bataille, pronounced, “Buh-TIE,” brings a broad range of knowledge and experience. She has served in academic administration positions at North Carolina, Washington State, California-Santa Barbara, Arizona State and California State Polytechnic-Pamona universities. Also Online Audio: UNT Chancellor Lee Jackson on finalist (Courtesy William Gregg, KNTU.com) “She has seen how some of the best universities in the United States set their academic agendas and has helped them move forward,” Jackson said after the meeting. “I believe she will help UNT fulfill our academic goals that we laid out in our own strategic plan.” Bataille, 61, will become the first woman to be president UNT. In UNT’s prepared announcement, Bataille said she is excited about the job at UNT’s student-centered campus. “UNT has a long history of serving the North Texas region, and with the strength of its faculty and students, it’s well-positioned to be better recognized nationally and internationally,” she said in the announcement. “It will be my responsibility to ensure that the university achieves the level of prominence it deserves.”“ Pohl, 62, has been UNT’s president since 2000. His contract expires next month, and he announced last summer he would not seek its extension. UNT began in September to search for his replacement. By law, regents must wait at least 21 days before formally naming Bataille president. A date for that vote has not yet been scheduled, but UNT spokeswoman Deborah Leliaert said some campus meetings with Bataille are being planned for this month. John Robert “Bobby” Ray, chairman of the UNT Board of Regents, said in a prepared statement that Bataille is ready to lead UNT. “She has the energy, experience, and enthusiasm to continue the progress we have made at UNT and to lead us to new levels of success,” Ray said. In addition to serving as the chief academic officer for the 16 campuses of the University of North Carolina, Bataille has served the last year as interim chancellor of the North Carolina School of the Arts. As interim chancellor of that school in Winston-Salem, N.C., Bataille was chief executive officer of an institution serving more than 1,100 junior-high to graduate students training for professional careers in the arts in five professional schools - dance, design and production (visual arts), drama, film and music. The School of the Arts was the first state-supported, residential school of its kind in the nation, according to UNT”s announcement. As the University of North Carolina system’s senior vice president for academic affairs, Bataille led the academic planning for all of the UNC system campuses with a total enrollment of about 196,000 students. Among those campuses are two medical schools and schools of dentistry, pharmacy, public health and veterinary medicine. As the system’s highest ranking academic officer, she was oversaw strategic planning and budgeting, research, student affairs, international programs and advising the UNC president and board of governors on academic issues. She is a tenured professor of English at North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Bataille earned her bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in English education from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. She earned a doctorate in English from Drake University and has completed management development programs at Harvard University and the University of California. Bataille is a widow and the mother of two grown children — Erin Hettinga Crail and Marc Hettinga, UNT’s announcement said. MATTHEW ZABEL can be reached at 940-566-6884.

Let's remember that this isn't Chancellor Jackson's decision it is the Board of Regents. Sure Jackson has influence on the hire but it is not his handpicked candidate. The goal as I see it with this hire was to get someone who could run the Denton campus efficiently and promote and prepare for growth. Dr. Bataille has a very strong operational background at several large and respected institutions. She was a finalist for the University of Iowa President job which tells me she has credentials. It's hard to comment on her view of athletics other than the fact that she has been at several institutions that have outstanding athletic programs. I especially like that she spent so much time at Iowa State, during their athletic down years and through their growth into the Big 12 etc. Surely her time there highlighted the importance of athletics in defining the University's image. I like that she is a woman and I think it helps us in our message of diversity and opportunity. The truth is that time will tell whether or not she will be the athletic supporter that Dr. Pohl was. She is not entering at an easy time. The Howard Johnson situation and the faculty tenure issues will have to be addressed and mended. State funding is down but student growth continues and it will take leadership to keep UNT well-positioned for the future. We have immediate battles in our own backyard with UTA and UTD (part of the UT system) fighting us for marketshare. Both UTA and UTD have better highway access to the DFW population so making UNT Dallas a success is also important for for our longterm growth. I welcome her and wish her the best.

http://www.dailytarheel.com/media/storage/...ailytarheel.com Bataille plays balancing game Chancellor stint almost complete By: SAMUEL LAU STAFF WRITERIssue date: 11/14/05 Section: State & NationalPrintEmail Article Tools Page 1 of 1 Just one year ago, the N.C. School of the Arts and Chancellor Wade Hobgood were mired in financial controversy as state auditors found that the school had made a number of inappropriate payments. But since then, Hobgood has resigned, and interim chancellor Gretchen Bataille, who met with state auditors for an informal exit interview Oct. 28, said that the school's audit is "absolutely clean." The UNC-system Board of Governors also passed a set of recommendations Friday laying out a system of auditing and reporting to avoid future problems. BOG member Brent Barringer said the financial troubles centered around Joseph Dickson, the vice chancellor of finance and administration, who resigned in July 2004, but that everything has been cleared up pretty well. "There was a certain amount of fallout, but most of the problems have been cured," he said. Adds Bataille, "It's a matter of saying, 'Let's go forward.'" This forward progression will need to include finding a permanent chancellor to replace Bataille, who still is serving as UNC-system senior vice president for academic affairs. NCSA Board of Trustees member Mary Braxton-Joseph said a search for a new chancellor has not yet been launched, though Barringer thinks a new chancellor will start no later than July 1. Until that day comes, Bataille will continue balancing her two positions. "I don't sleep," she laughed. To help Bataille fulfill all of her responsibilities, her academic affairs assistant Lisa Adamson said she and Bataille's assistant at the School of the Arts have access to the same calendar and work together to make sure Bataille gets where she needs to be. At the UNC-system office, Bataille still is involved with staffing the BOG personnel and tenure committee, maintaining her liaison role with a consultant doing a major study on economic development and keeping oversight of the UNC-system office in China. "But my first priority is that of chancellor," she said, noting that most of her system responsibilities have been delegated to other members of the academic affairs staff. Barringer said that it was rare for someone from general administration to serve as an interim chancellor, and that most of the time the position would be filled by someone on campus. "(NCSA) needed a more objective and outside leader for the year," he said, and thus leaders looked toward Bataille. "It was very important for me to analyze how the issue of the audit had perhaps damaged the school in terms of levels of trust and openness," Bataille said. "My primary job is getting things on an even keel, being transparent about the budget and being open with the community and restoring confidence in the school." Barringer, whose daughter is an eighth-grader in the school's ballet program, said she is doing a good job in these respects. "All the reports I hear from parents, alumni and students are very positive," he said, adding that she has had to make a number of tough personnel decisions. "She has implemented a number of strategies that will be more beneficial to the future chancellor than they will this year," he said. "It really is a thankless job." In regard to the future chancellor, Bataille said he or she should have a number of diverse qualities. "They need a combination of artistic interests, ability and appreciation in varying areas combined with administration skills," she said. Bataille said her replacement will be entering an environment of dedicated faculty and students. "I am confident that the financial issues are behind us," she said. "The future of the school is absolutely wonderful."

UNC ADMINISTRATOR VIES FOR UI PRESIDENCY (Chapel Hill Herald, Dec. 19) Gretchen Bataille, a top administrator in the UNC system, is one of six finalists for the presidency of the UNIVERSITY OF IOWA. Bataille has been the university system's senior vice president for academic affairs since she arrived in Chapel Hill in March 2000. She came to UNC from an administrative post at Washington State University. Reached at an Iowa airport Wednesday on her way back from a campus interview there, Bataille said the job intrigues her. A native of Indiana, Bataille has worked at a number of universities across the nation, but spent more time in Iowa than in any other state. She taught English at Iowa State from 1967 to 1988. The Herald is based in Chapel Hill, N.C.

http://www.dailyiowan.com/media/paper599/n....dailyiowan.com 3rd finalist says private funding a must Tony Robinson - The Daily Iowan Issue date: 12/18/02 Section: Metro PrintEmail Article Tools Page 1 of 1 Playing down concerns that private funding would compromise the institution's reputation, UI presidential candidate Gretchen M. Bataille said there is no other solution, given the sluggish economy. "I don't think we can afford to have that attitude," said the vice president for academic affairs at the University of North Carolina. Bataille, 58, addressed nearly 100 members of the UI community at a public forum in the IMU Tuesday. She is the third of six finalists vying for the university's top position. Opening communication among university departments was also a priority to the woman known for her strong background in diversity. As state funding of public universities continues to plummet, university departments have to collaborate and decide what can and cannot be cut to make up for losses, she said. "My administrative style is consultative and decisive," she said. "A leader should pull [departments] together, make decisions, and explain to them why they did that." After a plane delay, Bataille arrived in Iowa City at 6 p.m. Monday and spoke with various student and faculty groups while touring the campus. The public forum was the culmination of her two-day visit. Bataille assumed her position at UNC-Chapel Hill in 2000, where she is also a professor with tenure in the English department. Charles Silet, an Iowa State University English professor, said Bataille has a broad background in both administration and teaching. When the two worked together in Ames during her 1967-88 tour of duty, they wrote three novels and several articles about American Indian culture and films. "She knows the academic world bottom-up," Silet said. Members of the Presidential Search and Screen Committee noted Bataille's extensive experience around the country; she has held administrative positions at Washington State University, the University of California-Santa Barbara, Arizona State University, and ISU. "I guess I can't keep a job," Bataille joked. Although she has only visited the UI campus a handful of times on business, Bataille is no stranger to Iowa. In addition to having been an ISU faculty member, she received her doctorate in English from Drake University. When asked if she was ready to move back to Iowa, Bataille replied, "I am if Iowa is ready for me. It would be a great place to end my career."

Bataille, chief academic officer of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system, has been named the sole finalist to be the next president of the University of North Texas. The University of North Texas System Board of Regents approved a recommendation from Chancellor Lee Jackson Thursday morning to name her as the president of the Denton university, the system’s flagship campus. If confirmed by the regents later this month, Bataille (pronounced Bah-TIE) will become UNT’s 14th president and the first woman in the university’s 116-year history to hold the position of chief executive officer. The naming of Bataille, 61, as the sole finalist completes a nationwide search begun in September 2005, following Dr. Norval Pohl’s declaration last summer of his plans to step down from the UNT presidency by Aug. 31 of this year. Today’s public announcement also begins the minimum 21-day period required by Texas law before the UNT regents can vote to officially appoint Bataille to the position. “We are pleased that Dr. Gretchen Bataille is ready to lead UNT in all of its diverse endeavors,” said UNT System Board of Regents Chairman Bobby Ray. “She has the energy, experience, and enthusiasm to continue the progress we have made at UNT and to lead us to new levels of success.” Since 2000, Bataille has served as the chief academic officer of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system. For the past year, she had an additional assignment as interim chancellor of the North Carolina School of the Arts. Bataille is a tenured professor of English at UNC-Chapel Hill. As the University of North Carolina system’s senior vice president for academic affairs, Bataille led the academic planning for all of the UNC system campuses, comprising a total enrollment of about 196,000 students. The UNC system is composed of the state’s 16 public universities granting baccalaureate and advanced degrees, including two medical schools and schools of dentistry, pharmacy, public health and veterinary medicine. The scope of her responsibilities as the system’s highest ranking academic officer included oversight of strategic planning and budgeting, research, student affairs, international programs and advising the UNC president and board of governors on academic issues. As interim chancellor of the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, N.C., Bataille was chief executive officer of an institution serving more than 1,100 junior-high to graduate students training for professional careers in the arts in five professional schools – dance, design and production (visual arts), drama, film and music. The School of the Arts was the first state-supported, residential school of its kind in the nation. “I am confident that Dr. Bataille has the background to strengthen UNT’s academic and research vision and the personal skills to be a very effective campus and community leader,” Jackson said. “Our students, faculty, staff and UNT community members will appreciate her thoughtful and personal style and will benefit from her national perspective on solutions to the challenges facing higher education.” Bataille says she is “excited about the opportunity to lead UNT, especially given the university’s student-centered emphasis.” “UNT has a long history of serving the North Texas region, and with the strength of its faculty and students it’s well positioned to be better recognized nationally and internationally. It will be my responsibility to ensure that the university achieves the level of prominence it deserves,” she said. Bataille has served as provost and academic vice president at Washington State University and provost of the College of Letters and Science at the University of California at Santa Barbara. She also served as associate dean for academic personnel in Arizona State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and chair of its English Department and as acting associate dean of instruction at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona. A recognized scholar of Native American literature, Bataille’s professional career has focused on issues of diversity, civil rights and ethnic studies. Bataille began her teaching career as a member of the English faculty at Iowa State University. During her tenure, she initiated and chaired the American Indian Studies Program and directed numerous conferences and symposia on Native Americans and ethnic studies. She chaired the Iowa Civil Rights Commission and wrote the grant that created the American Indian Institute at ASU, where Bataille also chaired the President’s Committee for Assessment for Quality and Diversity. She served as a member of the Council of Academic Affairs of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges and on the board of the Research Triangle Institute. Bataille currently serves as the vice chair and a trustee of the College Board and serves on the boards of the North Carolina Humanities Council and the North Carolina Public Television Foundation, among others. Originally from Indiana, Bataille earned her bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in English education from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo. She earned a doctorate in English from Drake University and has completed management development programs at Harvard University and the University of California. Bataille is a widow and the mother of two grown children —Erin Hettinga Crail and Marc Hettinga. Jackson selected Bataille from a diverse pool of candidates recommended by a 19-member search advisory committee co-chaired by Regents Gayle Strange of Denton and Robert Nickell of Dallas. The advisory committee included UNT faculty, staff and students as well as community leaders. Korn/Ferry International, an executive search firm, aided the system and the committee in the search process.

How about UNT Nosetackle Joseph Miller and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs who starred in Welcome Back Kotter?

Nice write up - might I ask your team affiliation if any?

There must be an error on the website about Ike Thomas because I know for a fact he did not play until later in the season due to his heatstroke issue. In fact there was some thought to him being medically redshirted. By the time he got back, he was limited because he was not in game shape and didn't really understand what to do. I think he will be big this year if he can stay healthy. Couple of notes, Ransom like Pruitt played injured all last season. I spoke to one coach who told me that in hindsight they wish they would have redshirted Willie because he was not the same player because of his injury. He's healthy now and should make a big impact. Pruitt played all of last year with a separated shoulder. Basically they needed him and didn't have much else. He can be a fairly solid not spectacular player when healthy. Joe Miller is a guy they really are pinning this season on and he may be another year or two away. He had a solid true freshman year and hopefully wil come in bigger and stronger this year. I really have high hopes that some new blood will come in and make their mark. I would love to see David Collins be a pass rushing specialist and utilize his speed in passing situations. I also like the potential of Jon Stewart at DT or NT. If you look at our past defenses, there was always a fairly solid 2-man rotation at all four positions in the 4-3. Everyone remembers Booger and his impact and AA but they forget about guys like Alex Pahulu, Chris McIver, etc... What I REALLY hope for this defense is that Jamario will be Jamario again and the O-line will open some holes and chew up some clock. This is a young defense and if we can limit there exposure and mistakes they will have a chance to grow up with confidence. On the newcomers, obviously Tim Patton could be huge. The 2 defensive end prospects (Owosu Hemeng and Marquis Sykes) may need to grow up quickly. Defensive end is a very thin position in this program right now and d-tackle isn't far behind. Kendrick Ridge is another interesting player that has excelled at a high level of Texas High School football. The biggest wildcard of the newcomers may be Draylen Ross from Fort Worth. He was listed at around 6-4, 245 after his senior year and has a frame that could make him much bigger. He was signed as a defensive end but he will likely be a defensive tackle before all is said and done.

From what I here he had opportunities to go preferred at LSU and Oklahoma. You wonder why Tulsa didn't get him but they appear to be pretty set at kicker and they didn't have a scholarship to give at that position. I like this kid's potential. Especially if he can be a kickoff guy as well. If he is as good as advertised, we are probably set at both kicker and punter for the next 3-4 years which is great.

Any way you slice it a lot of new faces this year. Let's hope they are ready to contribute.

Thoughts and Prayers from the Mean Green Family.

I really like this hire. Good job.

Our biggest non-conference rival will always be SMU in my opinion.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your family Rick.
