By Graciela Razo
Senior Staff Writer
AUNT student modeling and
styling organization is putting
last minute touches on its biggest
annual fashion show this week

runway in the season's most
popular looks.
Models of Style Exposed, an
organization for students inter-
ested in modeling, styling, hair
and makeup, will host the eighth-
annual Renowned Fashion Gala
and Benefit called "Exposed"
at 7 p.m. Friday in the Gateway
Center Ballroom.
"All the shows we are involved
in give exposure to the models
so they're not blindsided when
they enter the fashion industry"
said Tim Musomba, Mosé presi-
dent and sociology and computer
science senior.
Fifty models and six styl-
ists from the organization will
participate in the fashion show,
along with four professional
photographers who are spon-
soring the event.

and finance sophomore, said
although she has been modeling
since she was 3 years old, she
still feels nervous before a big
runway show.
One day before the show,
she said, she is practicing her
walk and getting ready to psych
herself up.
"The most exciting part of it
is when you are getting ready to
walk out," Ethun said. "You're
so full of nerves and so excited
to start."
Mosé has given her the expe-
rience she needs to go out into
the modeling world and be
successful, Ethun said.
Kellye Cox, a Mosé model
and merchandising and hospi-
tality senior, said she joined
the group with the intention
of being a part of the back-
stage crew for fashion shows,
but now she is getting practice
at being a model.
"It's basically for fun and
exposure for something that
could possibly happen in the
future," Cox said.
Above all, being a member
of Mosé has taught Cox confi-
dence, she said. Her confi-
dence has given her more
chances to land modeling
gigs and get noticed by people
in the fashion industry, Cox
said.
Musomba said this year will
be different from Mosé's past
fashion shows, but it is looking
to be a great success.
"You come to our show to
be surprised," Musomba said.
"We always have something
big under wraps."
Organization aspires to
produce modern music
By Christina Mlynski
Staff Writer
A curtain rises to reveal 12
a cappella performers onstage
who will perform popular songs
in front of an audience, intro-
ducing them to a new style of
music.
Green Tones, formed in
October 2008, is the first modern
pop a cappella organization at
UNT. The group will perform
from 7 to 9 p.m. April 23 in the
Silver Eagle Suite to promote
the Aid the Cause Talent Show,
hosted by Texas Academy of
Math and Science students.
"The beauty of it is that we can
take one of the most classical
songs of all time and a popular
song, and we can put a new twist
on it and still stay true to its roots
because that's what contempo-
rary a cappella is good at doing,"
said Brian Alexander, co-founder
of the organization.
Alexander said he was
inspired to start the organiza-
tion when he made the transi-
tion into college.
"I came here and they had
all of these musical groups and
organizations, but none were
of a cappella nature, so I went
through the necessary channels
to create one," Alexander said.
Green Tones held its first audi-
tions in 2008. Auditions spanned
a two-day period during the fall
semester, open to any under-
graduate students.
Candidates were given vocal
range and sightseeing tests and
were asked to perform a short

piece to prove that they could
contribute a new sound to the
group, Alexander said.
The group also requires that
its members have the ability
to hear a piece of music and
mimic it.
"I finally found an ensemble
to sing with again, and I have
made a lot of great, new friends,"
said Carole Pouzar, the newest
member of the Green Tones.
The Green Tones are
composed of seven women and
five men. The group arranges all
of its music and finds popular
songs to transform into its own
style.
The organization selects
certain members to sing each
section so they can recreate the
sounds needed to produce the
music, Alexander said.
"The biggest reason we do
this is because I hear people on
campus saying that they really
like the music on the radio or
they don't like it all," he said.
"The accomplishment is trying
to appeal to what students have
never heard before and still play
upon what they like."
In February, the group
participated in the first colle-
giate a cappella performance
of Texas called A Cappelooza
at Texas A&M University. The
event was for VHl's Save the
Music Foundation and show-
cased various universities
performing a cappella produc-
tions, proving that the genre is
a growing trend.
"They take into account what
the public wants to hear and
they're really a great perfor-
mance group to watch," said
Sara Jacob, a general studies
junior.
The group plans to hold audi-
tions for new members every
fall semester.
