The shopping center on the corner of Interstate Highway 35’s access road and Avenue C is a potholed mass of crammed parking spaces and dingy build-ings.
Though certainly not pictur-esque, the center does house some tasty restaurants, and Kokila Indian Cuisine is no exception.
The décor is sparse and the seating is plentiful and comfort-able, but the first thing we noticed upon walking into this Indian restaurant was how utterly cold it was.
We didn’t know whether the heat was turned off or perhaps broken, but either way, it did not
make for a good first impres-sion.
Waters were brought to our table, but no drink or food suggestions were made by the lone server/host/cashier. Still, a look over the massive selection of entrees (also available online at www.kokilausa.com) kept our hopes up.
We started with the chicken pakora appetizer: boneless bits of chicken coated in a light, f luffy batter and deep-fried. The wonderful texture gave way to steaming hot meat — a testament to its freshness and the prompt-ness of its delivery to our table — and a surprisingly spicy kick at the end, thankfully assuaging the cold of the room.
Kicking off what would become a fabulous meal were a couple of orders of roti, an Indian flat bread resembling a pita but crispier and lighter, and sides of sweet tama-rind and refreshing mint sauces.
Jeph followed up with an order of goat biryani: huge hunks of bone-in goat meat served in a single bowl with heaping mounds of seasoned basmati rice and freshly diced onions.
A side of sauce, salty and robust, complemented the dish fantas-tically, but the goat seemed a bit overcooked and tough. And although it is typically a fatty meat, Jeph had a hard time finding any bit he could actually get through entirely.
Melissa had the garlic chicken curry, a hefty bowl of steaming hot, golden-brown chicken in a rich creamy curry sauce. The garlic was far from overpowering and went well with the server-recommended garlic naan bread:
another Indian flatbread, but a bit thicker than roti.
For the masochist’s pallet, treat yourself to an order of chicken 65.
What the 65 stands for is yet unclear, but the menu describes it simply as “boneless chicken sautéed in yogurt and spices.”
What it doesn’t tell you is that these spices are nuclear — it was one of the spiciest foods we’d ever tasted, but it tasted so good that we couldn’t stop eating it.
Flavors of peanut and jala-peño and the smoking of our own tongues as they caught fire filled

our mouths and left us wanting more.
We made it through about half or less than half of each dish, with each order averaging around $8 per entrée, a nd we increasingly felt it was money well spent.
There is a lot to try on this menu, and everything was good if not great.
It’s an affordable spot that would be good for a night when pizza and burgers have just lost that magic they once had, or if
you’re looking for an inexpensive but distinctive meal.
Just bring your coat if you go any time soon.

“Up in the Air” is beautiful.The latest from director Jason
Reitman (“Juno,” “Thank You for Smoking”), it stars George Clooney (“Ocean’s 11”) as an aging counselor flown in by corporate offices to lay off their employees.
He lives what most would consider an empty, miserable life: firing strangers for a living, thriving off in-flight cocktails and Hilton break-fast buffets and calling American Airlines business class l home.
Clooney’s company pairs him with a young, spiteful college graduate played by Anna Kendrick (“Twilight”) to travel the country on a firing spree because of the recession. Meanwhile, Clooney leads on a traveling love affair and works towards his ulti-matum: 10 million frequent flyer miles.
The writing is clever and engrossing. Reitman slowly paints a complex portrait of each character while still delivering his witty one-liners made infamous in “Juno.” The film centers on Clooney and Kendrick’s journeys, but draws out a number of subplots underneath each character dealing with love, death, commitment, hope and matu-ration.
Reitman tones down his style with methods far more subtle than his past films. The presentation of Clooney’s character is reminiscent of Aaron Eckhart in “Thank You for Smoking,” but lacks the crass humor apparent in Reitman’s previous films. He loves to fabulously exploit the contradicting lives of smooth talking, debonair corporate men and the intricacies of seemingly simple midwestern life.
The cinematography of the film surpasses that of any other this year. Only a team like this could turn the betrothed, dull environment of an airport into a beautiful setting of love and tragedy.
Above all, “Up in the Air” incites serious thinking, lingering long after you leave the theater. The film offers a fresh perspective on the current economic situation, a personal view not based on numbers that you can relate to. Reitman brings up some

1When making this list, I never needed to second-guess what my top choice would be. From the moment I saw Michel Gondry’s endlessly clever, brutally honest romantic comedy, I knew it was a movie that would stay with me forever. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet were never better as Joel and Clementine, the couple at the center of this twisty tale. After their breakup, Joel goes to have all memories of the relationship erased, but realizes halfway through the process that he’d rather have his mental mementos than noth-ing at all. It’s a great movie to watch at any stage in a relationship because it makes you appreciate what you have now, have had or will have in the future.
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004)
2Essentially a biography about direc-tor Cameron Crowe’s days as a teen-age Rolling Stone writer, his sur-rogate (Patrick Fugit) goes through everything we go through as kids: first love, betrayal, homesickness, the fear of the unknown and the music we fell in love with.
“Almost Famous” (2000)
3
Yes, it’s another Pixar movie. The first half is a Chaplinesque silent comedy, and the second half is a scathing indictment of an obese, greedy America. Bridging these two parts is a lovely romance between two robots. The main character’s effervescent spirit keeps the movie from being bogged down by its occasion-ally preachy message. Andrew Stanton takes what should be for kids and transforms it into a work of art.
“WALL-E” (2008)
4If the first 10 minutes of Pixar’s latest don’t move you to tears, you should see if there’s some-thing wrong. More moving than an animated movie has any right to be, this is a tribute to sense of adventure in all of us.
“Up” (2009)
5Comic book movies aren’t supposed to be this good. Sequels aren’t sup-posed to be this good. But Christopher Nolan’s massive hit takes everything to the next level. Of course Heath Ledger’s maniacal performance as the Joker deserves special praise, but it’s practically impossible to quibble with any other aspect of this crime epic. More than a movie, it’s an unstoppable force.
“The Dark Knight” (2008)
6Guillermo del Toro’s fantasy-war hybrid succeeds on both fronts. Curious Olivia retreats into her imaginary world to escape the horrors of her real life as the stepdaughter of one of Francisco Franco’s top generals. As the two worlds grow closer together, the movie becomes a thing of haunting beauty. And that’s just on a superficial level. The exquisite detail paid to every scene reveals the work of a diligent, passionate creator.
“Pan’s Labyrinth” (2006)
7
Nine years after their first meeting in “Before Sunrise,” Jesse and Celine reunite in Paris on a fluke and spend the next 80 minutes walking around the city and discussing their triumphs and regrets. It’s a movie solely carried on the honesty and believability of the two actors. It’s sad, funny and romantic, just like real life.
“Before Sunset” (2004) 8Bleak even by futuristic movie standards, this adap-tation of P.D. James’ novel starts off with a bang — literally. As Clive Owen exits a coffeehouse, a bomb explodes and a lone survivor stumbles out carrying her now-severed arm. Things don’t get any cheerier from there, as Owen must safely transport the world’s only pregnant woman to a research facility. The film shows humanity at its lowest points, but ends with the hope that maybe the next generation will take us from what we are to what we could be.
“Children of Men” (2006)
9Defying convention that detective mov-ies have to be straightforward — or even have a clear resolution — David Fincher’s lengthy but brilliant telling of the Zodiac Killer’s reign of terror in northern California is a movie that’s all about what remains unsaid, unsolved and unbelievable. Every detail strikes the right chord: The cinematography, light-ing and sound all add to the sense of unease of the ’70s.
“Zodiac” (2007)
10
Though each movie is a bit too long, espe-cially “Return of the King,” the entire tril-ogy is a towering achievement for any time period. Peter Jackson spared no expense in telling the epic saga of Middle Earth, and it shows in every carefully crafted frame. And he’s got 17 Oscars to prove it.

Chr ist mas is a round t he corner.
Once the lights are on the roof and the wooden cutout of Santa is placed in the yard, families gather in their cars to bask in the holiday spirit of neighboring Christmas displays.
Here are some places to see holiday lighting in the Dallas-Fort Worth area:
PlanoHouses of the Deerfield subdi-
vision in Plano near Legacy Drive have entertained viewers with their lighting displays since 1986.
Every year, Deerfield resident Scott Zephries coordinates his lights to music from a radio station, allowing viewers to watch lights dance to the tunes.
As a separate service, the Party Animals Carriage Service offers carriage rides through Deerfield for the public from Dec. 5 to Dec. 30.
Wagons seating 10 or less for a 30-minute ride are $85, and one hour is $135. The first reservation starts at 6 p.m., and the last leaves at 11:30 p.m.
www.deerfieldplano.org
CorinthThose looking specifically for a
house with lights synchronized to music don’t need to travel far down Interstate Highway 35E.
The Whetstone Lights at 2704 Whetstone Drive in Corinth operate Sundays through Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., and Christmas Day from 6 p.m. to midnight. To get the full effect with the music, set your radio station to 107.3 FM when you arrive.
www.whetstonelights.com
Flower MoundThose in the Flower Mound
area can check out another house synchronized to music.
Flower Mound Christmas, by residents Valerie and Harrison Ward, was inspired by the movie “Christmas Vacation.” The house, at 2117 Gisbourne Drive, is open until Jan. 1 and operates from 6 p.m. to 9 :30 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Check out the event’s Facebook page, Fans of Flower Mound Christmas.
FriscoIf houses don’t do enough to fix
your holiday light craving, check out the Frisco Square just off the Dallas North Tollway.
Christmas in the Square uses 100,000 lights, 9.1 miles of wiring and 5.5 miles of extension cords to complete its show. There is not only a light show — starting Dec. 11, there will be a number of activities, including carriage rides.
On Dec. 12, Santa and his elves will arrive by parachute at 5:15 p.m.
LewisvilleThe city of Lewisville will cele-
brate its seventh-annual Holiday at the Hall festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Old Town Lewisville. Along with the holiday lights, check out a wide variety of displays including the Polar Ice Carving Village, Breakfast with Santa and a parade down Main Street.

Area bands will put Denton in the Christmas mood w ith Saturday’s fifth annual upcoming holiday show, A Spune Christmas ’09.
Nine folk groups will spread the cheer at 6 p.m. at Hailey’s at the show sponsored by Spune Productions, a local promoting, producing and booking agency.
To set the giving spirit of the season, free tacos and a Christmas sweater competition will set the night off for guests.
“When we first started it, we were just looking for an event to do around the holidays, some-thing cheap and affordable,” said Lance Yocom, president of Spune. “It’s sort of an end-of-the-year office party.”
To center on an independent folk theme, Yocom said bands were chosen for specific reasons and because they would provide an entertaining live show.
“ W e j u s t selected some of the newer bands that have been d oi n g h ou s e s h o w s a n d have been in the [do-it-your-self ] network,” Yocom said.
J u d s o n Valdez, singer a nd g u ita r ist for band Baruch the Scribe, said h i s aud ienc e c a n e x p e c t n e w i n s t r u -m e n t s a n d songs t hrow n into the mix.
Sounds of the harp, chimes, bel ls and sampling w il l g ive the Denton band a solid set, he said.
“We t r y to keep it rea l ly
personal and really connected with the songs,” Valdez said. “We want people to be in touch with the music itself and not have us as individuals break into that.”
He is also excited to see fellow musicia ns Spook y Fol k play alongside the band.
Sp o ok y Fol k s i nger a nd guitarist Kaleo Kaualoku said the band will pull out all the holiday stops, and its members are excited to play the event for the first time.
“We might pul l out a few surprises here and there, maybe a Christmas song or having some other bands come up and play a song,” Kaualoku said.
Ca r r ie P u rcel l, a fa sh ion merchandising senior, is taking friends to the show and said she expects a good time.
Because it is a mostly acoustic folk show, the atmosphere will be pretty easygoing, Purcell said.
“I love Denton live music, and I’ve always wanted to see Spooky
Folk,” Purcell said. “Plus, free food is always a plus.”

UNT police have charged three more Kappa A lpha Psi fraternity members with hazing following an earlier arrest of members Terry Lewis, a graduate student, and Emmanuel Bradford, a n e n g i n e e r i n g junior.
Jamal Petillo, an undeclared junior, Charles Sneed, a crim-inal justice senior, and Raymond Brown, an engineering senior, are being charged with one count of hazing alongside Bradford and Lewis, who are being charged with two counts of hazing without serious bodily injury.
The charges follow a two-week investi-gation by UNT police, Deputy Chief Ed Reynolds said on Thursday.
The investigation began after a Nov. 10 report from a student who said Lewis and Bradford had beaten and spanked him as part of a fraternity initiation.
The student requested that his identity be withheld, citing a fear of retribution from frater-nity members.
“After we executed the search warrant, we were able to inter-view the additional pledges and fraternity members, and the investigation that followed resulted in us obtaining addi-tional search warrants for the hazing,” Reynolds said.
UNT police arrested Petillo on Nov. 24, arrested Bradford for a second time on Nov. 25, and arrested Lewis on Nov. 30. All three suspects have been released on bail. Sneed and Brown remain at large.
The charges for Lewis and Bradford carry a sentence of up to 180 days in jail, a $2,000 fine or both.
After conducting interviews
with the five suspects and 12 pledges found in the apartment, police issued arrest warrants for Lewis, Bradford, and Sneed, as well as Brown and Petillo.
UNT Police f irst arrested Bradford and Lewis on charges of hazing on Nov. 11 at Lewis’s apartment at 816 N. Bell St. Police also arrested Sneed at that time for evading arrest.
Police said that during the Nov. 11 raid, they believe they interrupted the second occurrence of hazing.
“Actually, the hazing was in process we went to the apartment,” he said. “And there was evidence at the scene to corroborate.”
Among the evidence taken was a wooden paddle with the Greek
letters Zeta Upsilon emblazoned on it. Zeta Upsilon is the designa-tion for the UNT chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
Bradford, Lewis and Sneed were released on bond the same day as the raid.
The results of the investiga-tion have been forwarded to the Denton County district attorney. If the district attorney accepts the charges, the students will be tried, said Jamie Beck, first assis-tant criminal district attorney.
The UNT Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities is still carrying out its own investigation into the matter, said Maureen McGuinness, assistant vice presi-dent for student development.
The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity will remain suspended during the course of the investigation. Members of the fraternity are barred from meeting or partici-pating in other fraternity activi-ties while the suspension is in effect.
Representatives of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity did not return calls by press time.

The 2009 One O’ Clock Lab Band, shown above in a summer performance, was nominated for two Grammy Awards on Thursday for its album “Lab 2009.” The UNT group was nominated for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. The director, Steve Wiest, was nominated for Best Instrumental Composition.
Former UNT student Gloria Castillo, 19, pictured with boyfriend Andrew Kimberlin, is among many teen mothers in Texas. Recent data shows the state ranks third in teen pregnancies. The numbers stoke criticism of state policies that deny minors access to birth control without parental consent and require abstinence-based sex education.

Members of UNT’s One O’ Clock Lab Band will mingle w it h t he c ou nt r y ’s top performers next month at the 52nd Grammy Awards.
The group of jazz musi-cians will attend the cere-mony in Los Angeles next Januar y after nett ing two nominations this week.
“It’s an incredible thrill,” Wiest said. “It’s an incredible recognition of the hard work the students do throughout the year, and it also sends a clear message to the world as to the level of our program here.”
The band’s a lbum “Lab 2009” was nominated for Best Large Jazz Ensemble A lbum and band director Ste ve W ie st w a s nom i-
nated for Best Instrumental Composition for “Ice-Nine,” which is also featured on the album.
The nominations bring the band’s total Grammy nomi-nations to six.
About 200 entries were submitted in each category, and five from each received nominations.
The band worked last year on the album and picking out the nine pieces for the final product, he said.
In May t he musicia ns made a professional-quality recording, which they sent to Grammy Board in August.
The band a lso sent out v ideo footage of its t ime in the studio as part of a campaign to promote the album.
Jason Hausback, a music
p e r f o r m a n c e g r a d u a t e s t u d e nt a nd t r om b on e player, said that he had to stay on his toes during the recording session.
“It’s always a little nerve wracking because the micro-phone’s right there and it’s like, if you mess up, every-body else has to play it again,” he said.
Hausback sa id he was surprised when he heard the news of the nominations.
“We got an email saying we got nominated for two Grammies and I was like, ‘Oh wait, is this a joke? ’” he said. “It’s just a CD and I couldn’t believe it, and I’m still kind of in disbelief that we’re actually going to go to California for the show.”
Sam Reid, a jazz studies s e n i o r a n d s a x o p h o n e
player, described last May’s two-day recording session as an intense bonding expe-rience.
“B y t h e e n d o f t h e recording session, it k ind of felt like climbing Mount Rainier,” he said. “The most enjoyable part was working with the guys in the band and the saxophone section to try and make something creative as cleanly and beau-tifully as we could.”
Reid said he is look ing forward to the band’s trip and hopes to run into some celebrities.
“I had a crush on Christina Aguilera when I was 13, so maybe I can meet her,” he said. “I’d give her a card and say, ‘Hey, next time you need a saxophone player, I work for free.’”

The Denton County Health Department will offer a free H1N1 vaccination clinic Saturday at Discovery Park. The clinic will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will be accessible to all Denton County residents who are part of the high-risk population.
Preparing for the worstThe department collaborated
with UNT to organize the clinic after it anticipated a shortage of vaccines nationwide, said Luis Tapia, UNT emergency planning and management coordinator.
“We thought about different strategies that would quickly and efficiently get the vaccine to students who choose to take advantage of the vaccine oppor-tunity,” he said.
Since Apri l, UNT Risk Management Services has been working closely with the health department on H1N1 prepara-tion and response activities. Tapia said the clinic is one of the many combined efforts in response to the H1N1 threat.
The number of students who have tested positive for Influenza
A has been closely monitored.“A positive test for Influenza
A is a very strong indicator of H1N1,” Tapia said. “We thought it was appropriate that if a student did test positive for Influenza A to take the precautions as if they did have H1N1.”
The vaccine will help prevent H1N1, but there is also another method.
“Cover your coughs and sneezes, stay home if you’re sick, and always remember to wash your hands,” Tapia said.
Jessica Bates, a visual art studies senior, said the clinic is a great effort that will help many people.
“I have a few friends who suffered from H1N1, so it’s good that people can get these shots
free,” she said. “I’m not going to attend the clinic though because I’ve never gotten the flu, so I don’t think I need the vaccine.”
More vaccines on the wayA shipment of H1N1 vaccines
was originally expected to arrive earlier this fall for the Student Health and Wellness Center. The order, which is distributed by the Texas Department of State Health Services, has not been received.
“We haven’t received any communication with regards to receiving the vaccine before the semester break at this time,” said Reggie Bond, the center’s director, in an email.
The county health department will continue to receive vaccine shipments regularly.

ADVERTIS-ING CLASS TAKES ON LAW FIRM AS CLIENTA local college advertising class is taking on the law. In fact, it’s an entire law firm! The creative class is spending their semester trying to help the lawyers get more business. “We just don’t get it,” said Brian Fats. “We really need some creative help around here. Although, we really look forward to seeing all their ideas and work, then crushing them with legal speak and jargon, making them change things that don’t matter and basically trying to water it down until it’s either not funny, not creative or interesting in any way.” After submitting their first round of ideas, the class has been drowned in edits and changes, while deadlines loomed and advertising oppor-tunities were missed. As Senior Cliff Runge commented, “It’s like they are worried about getting sued or something. Talk about paranoia.” Cliff is currently being sued for libel.
ITALIAN 101 HELPS STUDENT ORDER PIZZA AT RESTAU-RANT
What began as a typical dining-out experience quickly turned into a scary situation yesterday when sophomore Danny Rivers and his friends realized that the Italian restau-rant that they had chosen for lunch... was completely Italian-speaking. Looking for something more authentic than local
favorite Pizza Barn, the group had decided to venture out and try a new place. “I swear it was the scariest moment of my life,” Karl Winsey, a friend of Danny's, recalled. “It was like we time-warped into Italy or something. The waiter came over and started talking in Italian! Um... what? I had no idea what to do.”
Fortunately for the group, Danny Rivers did. “I’ve been taking Italian 101 this semester,” Danny explained, “so I was pretty comfortable in that environ-ment. Once I heard him say ‘amici’ I knew he wasn't mad at us or anything, so I just stuck with what I remembered... ‘saluti,’ ‘il mio nome è Danny,’ that kind of stuff.” After breaking the ice, Danny managed to tell the waiter that he and his friends wanted one very much good pizzas on the large. It was exactly what they received, much to everyone’s surprise. “It was a good day,” Danny added. “Professore Vacanti would've been proud of me. Or maybe I should say would’ve been feiro di me.” Professore Vacanti refused to comment.
FACULTY FOUND TAILGAT-ING BEFORE BIG EXAMIt was Thursday afternoon, hours before the big exam, and Professor Jay Limbaugh’s office was empty. As were Professor Rick Stein’s and Dr. Denise Carrol’s. Where was everyone during the last-minute question frenzy? Apparently, tailgating. According to Senior Ben Higgins, eight professors (including those mentioned above) were spotted in the faculty parking lot behind the school just after noon, watch-ing football and playing hacky-sack. “They were freaking tailgating?” Ben exclaimed furiously. “Charcoal grill, coozies, Chinese horseshoes... the whole shebang! They're supposed to be helping ushere... not grilling hotdogs and high-fiving.” The faculty did not deny the claim. In fact, Art History professor Michael Fineman spoke with great liberty. “Did we eat too many Doritoes? Maybe. Throw a little Frisbee around? Sure. But teachers deserve to have a little fun too.

anyone,” said the 46 year-old Fineman. “In fact, I think the students should be thankful... I was so hungover the next day that I just gave everyone A’s anyway. I think it worked in their favor.” While students are demanding answers, there’s no word yet on how the school intends to respond. The matter is now in the hands of Chancel-lor Debra Pittman, who is rumored to have streaked through the tailgate earlier that day.
MONEY MASCOT FOUND BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF BOOK MASCOTSad news in local affairs today as officials seized a “money” mascot used to promote low prices at an off-campus bookstore after an incident involving its counterpart “book” mascot. Police reports indicate Money became agitated when confronted by Book on who was worth more. An altercation ensued that involved several blows to the head of Book and according to some witnesses, a flying dropkick off the ropes. While Book took the first swing, it was Money who finished it. Apparently, Money is always better than books. “It's not really a shock,” Sherrif Steven Kimbo stated at the press conference. “I don’t know of many books that people would prefer over straight cash money. Maybe a stack of inappropriate magazines or something, but not textbooks.” The Money mascot was released based on evidence proving it was right, while Book was thinking of hiding in a closet for the rest of its life hoping to be forgotten and never found.
FRESHMAN JUST REALIZES HE SPENT HIS ENTIRE STUDENT LOAN ALREADYA frightening moment happened Saturday night as Freshman Dirk Polston pulled his last $20 bucks out of a local downtown ATM. His account balance was zero. “I swear there was $15,000 in there just a few months ago,” stammered the stunned student. “But I think I know where it went.” Dirk then rubbed his belly which was sticking out just a little below his shirt. In order to make it through the rest of the semester until his next loan kicks in, Dirk plans to sell everything he has on Ebay, sell his textbooks to the bookstore and mooch off his roommate for as long as he can.
AREA SENIOR GETTING REALLY GOOD AT WRITING ANSWERS ON TINY SCRAPS OF PAPERSixth-year senior Craig McGrott may not be good at a lot of things, but he’s the best there is when it comes to writing answers on tiny pieces of paper (commonly known as crib sheets). At least, according to the advertisement he ran on Facebook last week. “Look, everybody’s different,” Craig explained yesterday. “Some people are really smart. Others are just really good at tiny handwrit-ing. That’s my gift. Wanna cheat and not get caught? Just call Craig ‘CribSheet’
McGrott!” While some considered the slogan gimmicky, the testimonials spoke for themselves. And there’s no cheating that.
STUDENT WANTS TO RENT EVERY-THINGJunior Mick McConnelly has decided that he will no longer buy anything. Instead, he says with confidence, “I’m gonna rent.” Mick tells the story of renting his apartment, which is “waaaaay cheaper than buying one”, which led to renting movies, renting cars and even renting his textbooks. “Once I found out I could rent textbooks, I was like, duh, this is the future.” While Mick hasn’t had much success, he’s determined to find a way. The Junior is currently negotiating rental agreements for food, tuition, back massages and toiletries. “If I could rent all that, I’m pretty certain I wouldn’t ever need a real job.” And if he does? “I’ll probably rent a guy to do that for me too.”
GREEK SYSTEM RUNNING OUT OF LETTER COMBINA-TIONSPanic struck the heart of fraternities and sororities across the nation this week when word spread that the number of unique remaining Greek letter combinations was in critical condition. “Unfortunately, with the induction of our newest chapters, Mu Mu Mu and Psi Phi Pi, we’ve exhausted just about every option out there,” said National Greek Board President, Henry Boggins. “There were only about 18,000 possible letter combinations to begin with, so you had to know it was coming.”

As Senior Cliff Runge commented, “It’s like they are worried about getting sued or something. Talk about paranoia.” Cliff is currently being sued for libel.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.
The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

When the Mean Green walked off the field after a Thursday night win on national television over Ball State University Sept. 3, emotions and expectations ran high.
Since that time, there has been one constant to describe the UNT football season: heartbreaking. After six losses by a touchdown or less, the nation’s seventh youngest team has gained the experience necessary for growth.
“The adversity this season will make these young men better fathers, better husbands, and better people, and that is what is most important to us,” head coach Todd Dodge said.
Offense leads the way:UNT had the No. 1 rushing
offense in the Sun Belt Conference and also finished in the top-30 nationally, averaging more than 185 yards per game.
The biggest bright spot this season for the Mean Green was the emergence of sophomore sensation, running back Lance Dunbar.
The “Green Blur” started only eight games this season but finished in the top-10 in the country in rush yards, yards per carry and touchdowns.
He proved he was next in a great line of running backs with his 1,378 yards and 19 touch-downs. He should be the focal point of this offense for the next two years.
The Mean Green also bolstered one of the deepest receiving corps in its history.
Junior college transfers Jamaal Jackson and Michael Outlaw and
true freshman Darius Carey, made an instant impact.
Jackson led the conference in receptions and receiving touchdowns and finished third in receiving yards. Outlaw and Carey finished in the top-10 in all three categories as well.
Quarterback Riley Dodge faced the normal freshman struggles while making the adjustment to the college level and had to fight through several injuries.
He will need to take better care of the ball down the line after throwing 15 interceptions this season, but he did have his bright moments.
The former stand out at Southlake Carroll High School was twice named the Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Week while accounting for 2,438 yards and 14 touchdowns, including a seven-touchdown performance against Western Kentucky University.
He finished third in the confer-ence with 244 yards per game of total offense.
The only loss from the offense next season will be right guard Tyler Bailey from an offensive line that allowed only 12 sacks this season, eight fewest in the country.
Defense’s up and down season:
After holding Ball State University to 10 points and Ohio University to 13 points in regu-lation, the defense allowed at least 33 points for seven straight games.
It struggled to get pressure on the quarterback and did not force turnovers, but did come back to life down the stretch.
A secondary that had been picked apart for weeks allowed
only 84 and 85 passing yards to Florida International University and Army respectively, and it had three interceptions in the season finale.
Injuries cost the defense two of its three starting linebackers and its senior leadership when Tobe Nwigwe and Kylie Hill were lost for the season.
Sophomore’s Royce Hill and Brandon Akpunku led the defensive unit with Hill leading the team in interceptions and Akpunku leading in sacks. The duo will need to continue their growth for the defense to continue its improvement next season.
The Mean Green will open next season on the road against the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Atlantic Division champion, Clemson University.
Best Moment:Riley Dodge’s four yard touch-
down pass to Outlaw in the fourth quarter of the Ball State game that gave the Mean Green the lead for good in its season opening win.
Worst Moment:Senior kicker Jeremy Knott’s
33-yard field goal attempt blocked late in the fourth quarter of the Army game. The blocked kick would lead to a 55-yard run by Black Knights quarterback Trent Steelman that set up an Army touchdown and another frus-trating loss for UNT.
Team MVP:The “Green Blur” His 1,378 yards, 19 touchdowns
and consistent explosive plays led the way for an exciting offense. As a full-time starter next season, Dunbar could challenge the school record of 1,801 yards set by Jamario Thomas in 2004.
