UNT President V. Lane Rawlins has formed four councils and one committee that will make critical decisions for key parts of the campus.
Rawlins said he hopes to initiate a model of shared and collaborative decision-making that will positively impact the campus. He also hopes these councils will create a fair system of checks and balances between all areas of council.
“We have a number of issues on campus that we are working on,” Rawlins said. “Instead of trying to check on each other all the time, why not form a council that will make the decisions?”
Rawlins has instilled this approach before at other insti-tutions, he said, and it worked out positively. He believes UNT will have the same outcome.
“I have found that this is both a shortcut way to get to decisions and a way to make sure that all the people who should be involved in the decisions are involved,” Rawlins said. “The real decision-makers are around the tables and talking to each other.”
The councils fall into four different categories: capitol proj-ects, enrollment, finance, and image and public relations. In addition, there is also a planning committee for UNT’s institu-tional planning documents, such as “UNT’s Five Year Strategic Plan 2008-2013” and “Strategic Plan for Research 2010-2020.” Those documents are both geared toward research expansion.
“Our hope is to bring all the different viewpoints together to make good decisions about the future of the university as we move forward,” said Elizabeth With, co-chairwoman of the enrollment council.
The capitol projects coun-cil’s main goal is to develop a process that receives broad input from all key constituen-cies on campus, said Rodney McClendon, chairman of the capitol projects council. It will also develop a priority list for future projects on campus, such as renovation and building.
“We want to make sure that our process is very formalized and that we are hearing from the deans, vice president, etc. ...,” McClendon said. “We need a process to verify the needs of the campus as we continue to grow.”
McClendon said UNT does
have a process already, but that Rawlins wants to improve upon it and make sure it is more formal and inclusive.
“He wants to make sure it actu-ally addresses the needs of the campus in the short term as well as the long term,” McClendon said.
The enrollment council was established to determine the size of the university’s future enroll-
ment. The council is supposed to identify resources and strate-gies to achieve enrollment goals for the campus while increasing overall academic quality, With said.
“Being able to make predic-tions about future enrollment is going to help increase the amount of opportunities avail-able for students,” said Chase Fowler, a performance freshman. “No one will be left out.”
The finance council’s role is to review the university’s needs and maintain budget priorities, according to a news release.
The image and public rela-tions council will be in charge of developing and increasing strat-egies to enhance the university’s reputation and increase engage-ment and awareness in the North Texas region, as well as university pride among students, alumni and faculty, said Debra Leliaert, co-chairwoman for the image and public relations council, in an e-mail.
“The council will also plan on focusing on promoting UNT intercollegiate athletic programs to draw positive attention to the university,” Leliaert said in person. “We are focused on raising the image of the univer-sity.”
One of the main goals of the council is to increase awareness of the quality of the institution, Leliaert said.
“We want to make the degrees earned by our students are worth more and to make the university one that donors want to invest in,” she said.

Study investigates link between texting while driving, accidents

In Denton County last year, there were 226 accidents involving cell phones, leaving four people permanently injured. Nine states and the District of Columbia have banned hand-held devices and � ve other states have partial bans.
BY ADAM BLAYLOCKStaff Writer
The potentially life-threat-ening danger of talking on the cell phone or text messaging while driving has gained more awareness in recent years with increased exposure from various news media and drivers-educa-tion campaigns.
Texas’ state and county acci-dent data on the correlation between cell phone use and driving echo national statis-tics. Denton County Sheriff’s spokesman Tom Reedy noted a rise in distractions people are facing behind the wheel.
“There’s always been distrac-tions, but I’ve never seen it so ubiquitous as I have in the last three to four years,” he said.
Several reports have been released by various law enforce-ment agencies and transporta-tion authorities on distracted driving and links to phone use as the cause of accidents. Until recently, however, the reports made little distinction between talking on a cell phone and texting.
UNT Health Science Center researchers Fernando Wilson and Jim Stimpson showed an increase in vehicular fatalities that they linked to a parallel increase in text messaging nationwide in their study published Sep. 23 in the American Journal of Public Health.
Although the national motor vehicle fatality database, called the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, records only accidents as a result of distracted driving, Wilson and Stimpson were able to estimate through scientific method that increased texting volumes resulted in 16,000 road fatalities from 2001 to 2007.
The same study showed that people who talk on their phones while driving are 30 percent more likely to have an accident. People who text are 23 times more likely to crash.
The study by Wilson and Stimpson echoed other previous
national and state data that showed cell phones as a major contributor to accidents and subsequent fatalities.
In 2009, there were 5,474 fatalities and 448,000 injuries as a direct result of distracted driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. Of those fatalities, 995 reported the use of cell phones as a contributing cause of the crash.
In a report released covering the current year from Jan. 1 to Sep. 30 by the Texas Department of Transportation motor vehicle injury and fatality data, Denton County has the 13th-highest mortality rate out of 253 coun-ties, with 22 deaths in 2010 to date.
The same 2010 report ranked Denton County as having the third-highest fatality rate in accidents where the cause was directly linked to cell phones with two deaths so far.
Reedy shared his own view of texting while driving.
“Texting [while driving] is crazy,” he said. “There’s some-thing wrong with you if you’re texting down the road. These people are morons.”
Tala Elnakib, a psychology junior, remarked on an accident she once witnessed.
“I saw a girl drive through a store window once while texting in a parking lot,” she said.
People are so connected to their cell phones, the devices are like a third arm, Elnakib said. People even text while they’re crossing the street, she added.
Catherine Shuler, a public relations senior, shared the story of someone she knew who was personally affected.
“I used to work with a girl who was killed while she was texting and driving,” she said.
The girl’s mother later posted a video re-enactment on Facebook of a girl who got in an accident while driving and texting, Shuler said.
N e v e r t h e l e s s , S h u l e r confessed her own occasional driving practices, indicating the temptation she’s with faced when texts are received while she’s driving.
“I can’t say people who text and drive are bad, because I do it,” she said.
In response to increased awareness, nine states and in the District of Columbia have
banned hand-held devices, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety website. Five other states, including Texas, have partial bans in place.
“Our hope is to bring all
the different viewpoints together.”

The University Union can get congested, and to solve that issue, UNT is purchasing new furniture. But bigger changes need to come from the students, not the administration, a Union official said.
The Union is getting $70,000 worth of new furniture for the second and third floors to accommodate overcrowding and has opened up the atrium with new tables and seating, but it may not be enough for UNT’s growing population.
“The Association of College Unions International says that every union needs 10 square feet per student and our union is 193,000 square feet, so we’re missing a lot of space,” said Zane Reif, director of activities and the Union.
Reif started at UNT this semester and had already expe-rienced a similar problem at Texas Tech, so the university is taking a proactive step, he said.
“We know that the Union is overcrowded and we love that students are visiting, so to accom-modate all that, we’re buying new furniture and opening up the atrium,” Reif said.
The furniture and atrium seating will relieve some
crowding, but to get bigger changes students will have to get involved.
In past semesters, the univer-sity and students have discussed the idea of a new union. If
students wanted to have a new union built, it could possibly happen, but until then no plans are definite, he said.
“This is a student-run union,” Reif said. “Seventy-one percent of the people working here are students, so if they want a bigger change like remodeling, then it will have to come from a student-driven movement.”
Some students are receptive to a change in the Union.
“The tuition is not that bad once you get into the upper level classes, so adding in a fee to remodel the Union wouldn’t affect it much,” said Briasha Billings, a business sopho-
more. Billings said she has reser-
vations about if the remodel is worth it, though.
“It depends on how they go about it, how they design it and
spend the money,” she said.Brittani Schultz, a social
work sophomore, said she doesn’t feel like the Union is crowded except during events and the lunch hour. The idea of expanding the building is also an issue, she said.
“Do t hey have room to expand it?” Shultz said. “More room for the One O’Clock Lounge would be nice since this gets the most crowded.”
The Union has also added hours a nd opens now on Sundays to help relieve busy times, Reif said. Places like the bookstore and cafeteria will be open seven days a week.

From logging in online to register for classes or pay bi l ls, to Blackboard and the general access labs on campus, the Computing and Information Technolog y Center is behind it all.
Now, there is a new man behind the center.
John Hooper will serve as the acting vice president for Information Technology a nd ch ief i n for m at ion officer. He is taking over the posit ion for Maurice Leatherbury, who is retiring today.
“John’s worked in CITC since I’ve been here, and I selected him for his previous position as executive director of administrative systems,” Leatherbury said. “Clearly I have a lot of confidence in him, and he knows more about the system and CITC than anyone else.”
Hooper has been working in t he information tech-nology field since 1977 and has been with UNT since 1991.
Hooper explained that his previous position provides application-programming tea m s t hat suppor t t he E nt er pr i s e I n f or m at ion System for each institution at UNT.
“I’ve been exposed to a whole lot of aspects of infor-
mation technology over the past few years, and I’ve been fortunate to have bosses like Maurice that really involve me in everything,” Hooper said.
He added that the team Leatherbury will leave for him is talented.
“We are very supportive of John and are very proud to work w it h him,” sa id Charlotte Russell, director of administration and compli-ance for the center.
Hooper will oversee the tech nolog y ser v ices a nd infrastructure for not only the UNT campus, but also t he UNT Hea lt h Science Center and the UNT Dallas campus.
“ C I T C i s i m p o r t a n t be c au se t he y run the entire n e t w o r k f o r E a g l e N e t , M y U N T a n d p r e t t y m u c h a ny t h i ng else t h a t h a s t o d o w i t h t h e Internet,” said Ja s on Sm it h , a mecha n ica l e n g i n e e r i n g t e c h n o l o g y sen ior. “T hey ma ke sure a l l the files put on the servers are t here, backed up and ready to go.”
H o o p e r e x p l a i n e d t he center i s working on new
advancements for UNT tech-nology and there is a proto-type program being explored for a mobile application of the EIS services provided to students and faculty.
“It’s a ways away from being there, but it’s some-thing we’re committed to doing,” Hooper said.
The center plays a “unique role in accomplishing the Un iver sit y ’s m i ssion by pr ov id i n g t he pr i m a r y u n i ver sit y-w ide, sh a re d resou rces of comput i ng hardware, soft ware, data and voice communications, and professional personnel on campus,” according to the center’s website at citc.unt.edu/.

O ne te a m br i ng s t he second-best rush defense in the conference –– the other, t he second-best r ush i ng offense.
One of these two will have to give on Saturday when UNT’s ground attack faces Louisiana-Lafayette’s stingy defense this Saturday at Fouts Field. The Mean Green strives to win two straight games for the first time since 2004.
UNT hopes to draw similar attendance numbers to the team’s f irst home game of the year, when 23,743 excited fans came out to witness a heartbreaking one-point loss to Rice. The crowd was the fifth largest in the history of Fouts Field.
“We want to get a win for
our fans and our student body,” head coach Todd Dodge said. “We appreciate the support and we plan on doing our part.”
The Ragin’ Cajuns bring the second-best run defense in the Sun Belt Conference to Denton, allowing 139.7 yards per game. However, Middle Tennessee tore that defense to shreds last week, racking up 217 yards. In its two confer-ence games this season, that defense has been porous, as ULL has given up an average of 440 yards of total offense.
L a st w e ekend a g a i n st F lor id a At l a nt ic , ju n ior running back James Hamilton had a stellar performance, carr ying the ball 11 t imes for 122 yards and one touch-down. After averaging 114.9 rushing yards a game last
season, junior running back La nce Dunba r has had a tough time amassing similar numbers, averaging 84 yards a game.
The Mean Green has had issues of its ow n when it comes to putting points on the board. Through the first four games of the season, UNT has thrown four inter-ceptions inside the oppo-nent’s 20-yard line.
“We’re only scoring 15.5 points a game, and we’ve been in position to score a lot more,” Todd Dodge said. “We’ve got to get that squared away. We need to make sure we preserve our right to kick a field goal when we’re down inside the 20-yard line, and make good decisions.”
In his f irst start of t he season, redshirt sophomore
qua r terback R i ley Dodge completed 10 of 15 passes for two touchdowns and one interception, the fewest pass attempts in the Todd Dodge era.
Riley Dodge has completed eight games in his collegiate career, and two of those have seen the quarterback throw the ball less than 30 times.
In those two games, Riley Dodge completed 76 percent of his passes, throwing six touchdow ns and only one interception. When he throws the ball more than 30 times, he completes 68 percent of his attempts, throwing 14 inter-ceptions and three touch-downs. ULL is ranked seventh in the Sun Belt, allowing 279.5 yards per game.
“It’s not necessarily how many times we throw it. It’s
how productive we are when we do,” Todd Dodge said.
The next three games could shape the rest of the season for the Mean Green. UNT will face its next three opponents –– ULL, Arkansas State and Florida International – – at home. The three teams have a combined 2-8 overall record coming into this weekend’s slate of games.
“We’re nothing to w rite home about yet,” Riley Dodge said. “We got three games at home, and we got to get some victories for our fans.”
One of the biggest changes that is visible on the field this season is a newfound sense of team chemistry.
“We’re start ing to care about each other,” Hamilton said. “When we’re not doing our jobs, we’re starting to

T he U N T soccer tea m cont i nues Su n Belt play against two teams from the Bayou State when it hosts L o u i s i a n a - M o n r o e a n d L ou i sia na-L a f ayet te t h i s weekend.
Losers of three straight ga mes, t he Mea n Green (5-5-1, 0-2-0) will try to secure its first conference win over t he Ragin’ Cajuns (6-5-0, 1-1-0) and Warhawks (2-8-1, 0-2-0).
“Coming home is always good for our soccer team. I think we always play confi-dent at home no matter who we’re playing,” head coach John Hedlund said. “I think we’ll be ready to play our best soccer when we start hosting Sun Belt teams this year.”
UNT’s recent st r ugg les might link to its play near games’ end, as the team owns a 0-3-1 record in overtime and has fallen by one goal in each of its last three losses.
“It’s frustrating for us when we’ve been in so many tight
games and haven’t been able to secure a victory when it’s close,” sophomore forward Michelle Young said. “As long as we stay mentally tough and keep playing our game, it shouldn’t be a problem from now on.”
A bright spot for the Mean Green has been junior forward Kelsey Perlma n, who has scored three goals in the last four games.
“She’s one of our many players that we know can step up and score a goal for us at any point and time,” Hedlund said. “She’s been playing well for us for three years. We know we can count on her.”
The Mean Green offense could find its groove against a Warhawk team that is second-to-last in the Sun Belt in goals allowed with 24.
A n aggressive approach could help UNT defeat ULM, as the Warhawks haven’t won a game in their last seven games and rank ninth in the Sun Belt in scoring.
Senior goalkeeper Mandy
Hall and the defense will keep their eyes on ULM’s assertive midfielder Amy Porch, who leads the team with 32 shots attempted.
“This year we’ve taken a more offensive attitude and are trying to score more goals but the defense is a big part of our success too,” Hall said.
T he f i f t h-place Rag i n’ Caju n s w i l l be more to handle.
Sting y defense could be a factor in Sunday’s game against the ULL, which allows less than a goal per game and has recorded five shutouts.
“If we play our game, I feel l ike the chemistr y on our defense wil l be enough to keep them in check,” Ragin’ Caju ns head coach Scot Wieland said.
Bumps a nd br uises a re a lmost expected in t hese matchups, as all three teams have shown a physical style of play. ULM leads the Sun Belt with 12 yellow cards while UNT a nd ULL ra n k r ight behind them with nine.

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

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 fill 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

If students are looking in their closets and thinking they need a trip to the mall to upgrade their style for the new fall fashion, they should stop and put the debit card down.

Accessorize If you’re looking for a more toned
down look but still want to look fashionable, accessories are your friends.
A bold, colorful necklace will make any plain top pop out. Add a cuff and a few rings for some pizzazz.
But remember if you’re going to wear a large necklace, avoid wearing gaudy earrings. Instead wear stud earrings or small hoops. They will make a statement without being a distraction.
Men can also accessorize, too. Belts will always make an outfit appealing to the eye. They may also want to try a bold shoe to help their plain outfits stand out.
LayersLayers are easy if you learn how
to do them right. And the best part about it is that men and women can both incorporate this look into their daily wear.
Blazers are in season this year, and they will look great with a white shirt and dark denim. They can give an outfit a dressy, crisp, clean feel, too.
For a different appearance, find a cardigan or jacket, and wear it underneath the blazer. Add some cute sneakers, and you’re all set. This will give your outfit a more sporty yet edgy look.
The Boyfriend and Military LookBoyfriend jeans and shirts are
still in.If you have a boyfriend, boy friend,
brother or father, you can borrow from them. Take one of your guy’s shirts and put it over your plain one. Then throw on a pair of distressed men’s jeans.
Add a hint of girliness by wrapping a belt around your waist.
For me, keep on your favorite distressed jeans, but wear an old camouflage jacket. A plain but colorful shirt underneath will create a fresh look as well.
LeatherLeather with lace is a great trend.
To give a rocker edge, take a white or brightly colored plain top and place it under a dark lace shirt.
The colors will give the outfit char-acter as well as display the designs of the lace garment. The shirt can also be worn with a leather vest. This will create a new look but still incorpo-rates the shirt.
If you want to go all out, switch out your dark jeans for a pair of black
leggings. For men, a leather jacket may
be a better option to wear rather than the vest, and then can pair the jacket with a their distressed jeans and T-shirt.
So start going through your closets and begin mixing your clothes. Dump the mall for your closet and begin styling.
Don’t be afraid to try something new because that’s what fashion is all about.

Fall trends already lie within students’ closetsOpinion
There is a misconception that people need to buy new clothes to create a new trendy look, but there are ways to give the illusion of new clothes with the pieces students already have. So grab a plain shirt and a dark pair of jeans to learn how to make a few simple looks with these items.

Pumpkins of different sizes and color surround the 150,000 bright fall f lowers covering the Dallas Arboretum garden in celebration of the arrival of autumn.
The Dallas Arboretum’s Great Pumpkin Festival features a story-book pumpkin village from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until November. 14 for students and families to get in the autumn spirit.
Ticket are $10 for adults ages 13 to 64, $9 for seniors 65 and older and $7 for children 3 to 12 years old. Children under 3 are free.
“The first time you ever come out here and look, it just kind of takes it back to being a kid,” volun-teer concierge chairwoman Sue Greims said. “There’s something just eye-popping, exciting about seeing the pumpkins and then to see the creativity they use.”
Pumpk ins placed a long a pathway lead to a village full of students and families gazing upon houses that are only told in story-books.
Vice president of marketing Cris Emrich said the difference this year is a pumpkin village, compared to last year’s one big pumpkin house.
Emrich said the number of
pumpkins used last year was at least 25,000. This year, it took about 30 staff members, 30 volun-teers and 40,000 pumpkins to complete the storybook village.
StorybooksThe walk-through pumpkin
houses depict four children’s books that feature pumpkins in the story: “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” “Too Many Pumpkins,” “Mousekin’s Golden House” and “Cinderella.”
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is the biggest of them all in the pumpkin village while “Mousekin’s Golden House” is the smallest.
“If there are more people coming through the gates this year than there were last year, I think that the reason is going to be the fact that we have a pumpkin village, since it is the only one in the world right now,” Emrich said.
In front of each house is a book-shaped poster with a summary of the storybook, along with a pumpkin fact.
A variety of green and orange pumpkins are piled in patches or in the backyard of the houses, ranging from tall and pointy to short and lumpy.
“I think that the stories are

going to attract a lot of people and a lot of curiosity to come and read and see it,” Emrich said.
Crimina l just ice g raduate student Ty Young said she enjoyed the springtime f lowers that the aArboretum featured.
Young said the idea of a story-book pumpkin village is different because people can identify with stories such as “Cinderel la,” making it a good attraction.
“I was wondering how they were able to have all those pumpkins for the display, but it just seems like something nice to look at because I do enjoy art,” Young said. “It would be nice to see how they can transfer the pumpkins into all these different kinds of houses.”
AttractionsAs a souvenir, guests can
purchase their favorite pumpkin in the Tom Thumb Pumpkin Patch. There is also a small gift shop set up outside the village and an actual gift shop building filled with autumn knickknacks.
Ot her act iv it ies over t he weekend include piano melodies
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday morning garden tours at 11 a.m. and Art Riddles Jazz Trio on the Martin Rutchik Concert Stage, fromat 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
New this year to the Great P u m p k i n Fe s t i v a l i s t h e Oktoberfest Garten restaurant where fresh bratwurst and hot German potato salad are served.
Caddo Mills resident Shelley Shipp said she and her family

El Matador is very quiet when customers arrive, but it’s not because the restaurant is empty. Patrons are just too busy enjoying their food to talk.
The Mexican restaurant is located by the Denton Thrift store off University Drive. From the outside, El Matador isn’t much of a sight, but inside the tiny restaurant is brought to life with bright colors, fun deco-rations and a full staff waiting at the

door to serve customers. The staff is incredibly friendly
and quick to take food orders. If waiters are overwhelmed with other customers, other staff members will assist and help bring out food or beverages for guests.
Variations of burritos, quesa-dillas, enchiladas and tacos can be found on the menu. There is even a section of vegetarian dishes. Each entree has an authentic flavor and is seasoned to perfection.
Before the main entrees come, a basket of toasty tortilla chips with a mild pico de gallo salsa is served.
The green enchiladas sound a little unusual, but they are very good. The dish comes with three large enchiladas covered with cheese and a thick green sauce. They are a little spicy but have rice and beans as a side to cool your mouth down. Each one is stuffed with lots of meat, so it’s unlikely customers will finish all three.
The quesadillas are amazing. You can have beef or chicken, and if you can’t decide between the two,
you can have a combination. The quesadillas are split into six indi-vidual pieces and served with sour cream and guacamole.
The chicken and beef give off a powerful taste. The meat is juicy and seasoned well, and Monterey jack cheese and sauteed onions wrap around the inside of the tortilla.
Customers can select from various dinner combinations if they can’t decide what they want. A combination of a beef taco and a beef enchilada is a possible option, or they can choose two tamales and a taco.
There are also daily drink and lunch specials. On Fridays, entrees like Filete Veracruzano, a fish tilapia topped with red sauce; Pechuga Monterrey, boneless chicken breast topped with bell peppers, onions and jack cheese; and Trio Fajita, strips of beef, chicken and shrimp grilled with onions and bell peppers, are all offered.
After dinner is done, there is a small souvenir shop located in the

Ever since we were kids, October has meant only one thing: Halloween.
But now that we’re in college, we can have a firmer appreciation of the holiday’s spooky overtones while still enjoying a couple handfuls of fun-sized treats.
While some people may choose to visit a haunted house, throw a party or sit down for a scary movie marathon, I choose to get under the covers with a flashlight and scare myself the old-fashioned way: with scary stories.
So for the next few weeks, I’ll bring you a collection of short stories to prime you for one of the few days a year that it’s OK to be a kid again. I’ll start off slow with the help of “365 Scary Stories,” an anthology of alpha-betized, two-page scary stories meant to keep you spooked throughout the year.
Required Reading: Halloween Style books
“365 Scary Stories” has a short scary story for every day of the year, which includes sto-ries about a kid who kills a unicorn and a man who gets trapped under his house.

“A-Huntin’ We Will Go” by Linda J. Dunn
This is the first story in the collec-tion. Dunn sees fit to get the reader on pins and needles right at the begin-ning, as the first line is “Jeremy walked slowly toward his victim.”
Immediately, a couple questions come to mind: “Did he kill someone?” “Is he a vampire?” “ I’m so sick of vampires.” As it turns out, Jeremy is on a hunting trip with his father and to his dismay, he has shot and killed a unicorn.
His father takes immediate action, hacking off the legs and having Jeremy toss them into a nearby ditch.
Jeremy, however, has been shaken to the core, and while he doesn’t know the protocol for such a situation, he’s got this sinking feeling that they should have just left it alone.
And boy, is he right. Daddy’s about to find out why you
don’t mess with a unicorn – especially when it’s got friends nearby.
“Adventures in Further Education”
by Peter AtkinsFollowing Dunn’s example, Atkins
lays it all on the line right in the first sentence: “Kenny tapped the pen on the surface of his desk for the seven-teen thousand, four hundred and thirty-sixth time.”
Now, obviously, this is way less frightening than Jeremy’s victim – unless you’re afraid of tapping and/or pens – but it still gets the reader wondering.
Low and behold, Kenny is working on a theory of New Physics that he was told in the sixth grade. If he keeps tapping his pen on the desk, it will eventually slip through the surface.
Now, Kenny has used several desks – he still had a life to live – but he’s held onto the same pen since he was 12 years old and it is about to pay off.
But once that barrier is broken, there’s no turning back.

Guitar Hero, Halo ‘Reach’ students’ gaming needs BY DAISY SILOSIntern
This past month was big for video games with Halo: Reach released on Sept. 14 and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock released this week on Tuesday.
According to Microsoft, Halo:
Reach made $200 million within the first 24 hours after the game hit stores.
“I had to go to the midnight release, I stayed up four hours playing it,” said Juan Lopez, a business sophomore.
The game is a story about a Noble Team, a group of heroic Spartans, and
Guitar Hero and Halo “Reach” are two popular video games that came out this month. The UNT Media Library allows stu-dents to rent video games for three days.

their final battle on the planet Reach. It is the fourth one of the Halo series, but it is also the prequel.
Although it doesn’t star the main character, Master Chief, it includes a squad of Spartans and new weapons.
“I like the power ups and the fact you can punch down the walls, and it’s way better than ODST,” said business sophomore Samuel Armendariz.
Guitar Hero is another game series that just released its sixth game, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
The game can have as many as four people create a band with vocals, lead bass, rhythm guitar and drums, and the band has to hit the notes as they scroll down the screen.
The major game mode in the
game is called “Quest Mode,” which is narrated by KISS guitarist Gene Simmons.
Quest Mode is a career mode based on the “2112” album by Rush, where the player must complete a certain list of songs and challenges to advance to the next level until the game is over.
“I’m just looking forward to a good variety of songs in the playlist. I like to sing, so I want to sing to some good songs,” said Valeria Rodriguez, a psychology freshman.
The game includes new characters, new venues and a brand new set list with 93 songs featuring artists such as Silversun Pickups and Muse.
Kim Stanton, head of the UNT Media Library, said she believes students find playing video games
to be an outlet to relax from school.“We have public gaming events we
host for students and usually have a good turnout,” Stanton said.
The next gaming event will be from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 7 in the UNT

Marty (is there a particular reason why all these main characters have names that end in –y?), who has purchased a previously owned house. That’s the first sign.
The second is when he lets you in on a secret: he’s arachnophobic and has a recurring nightmare that spiders are falling into his mouth
while he’s asleep. The final sign, really driving the
point home, is that he’s got to fix an air duct underneath the house that can only be accessed by a crawlspace.
Gee, what could possibly happen to him under there? Spoiler alert: Marty finds out where the old owners went.

In 1994, Jimmy Eat World released its first EP, “Jimmy Eat World.” Sixteen years later, it released new material on its album “Invented.”
The opening track, “Heart is Hard to Find,” is a depressing, nostalgic review by lead vocalist, Jim Adkins, of how life progresses and how quickly it seems to pass.
Eventually, the rhythmic sound is joined by the melody of violins and a big, constant beat by drummer Zach Lind.
The song is one of those paradoxes of simple-while-complex. There seems to be just one simple rhythm of beats and melody, yet there is a lot going on at the same time, and a lot
to take in.“Higher Devotion” is just one of
those songs that make me cover my ears. Starting off with loud, high-pitched guitar feedback and phased electronica, the song is creepy and weird. The chorus vocals are terrible, with a falsetto harmony attempting to compliment Adkins’ half-whis-pered lyrics.
The album is expected to bring about a sense of nostalgia to those of us who remember our middle school and high school days, as it does in “Coffee and Cigarettes.” This song is simply that nostalgic feeling. Adkins reveals his desire to cling to the moments where he stayed up late, having conversation over “coffee and cigarettes.”
“Cut” is written in the perspec-tive of the woman telling the man “I’m sorry, boy, but I’m not cut for
this no more.” Beginning with a palm-muted
guitar rhythm accompanied by percussion, the song follows the emotion of the lyrics very well with an ambient chorus, well-placed harmo-nies and Adkins’ ability to sing loud without making the vocals sound out of place.
It is depressing and insightful, as is much of the album, but the music is very well structured.
Overall, the album does not seem to bring about that nostalgic feeling I had expected. It is apparent that they try to keep their audi-ence captured by mixing in newer sounds that today’s music audience is drawn to.

Jimmy Eat World still going strongOpinion
Urban Street Bazaar offers ‘fun alternative’ to the mallBy Shannon Moffatt and JeSSica PauLIntern & Senior Staff Writer
Students looking for creative fashion and accessory alternatives may find just what they need at the Urban Street Bazaar.
The Urban Street Bazaar will be at 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday on Bishop and 8th Street in downtown Dallas.
The Urban Street Bazaar began in 2006 and happens between one and three times each year. It has grown from 35 to 90 vendors at this week-end’s 11th bazaar.
Julie McCullough-Kim owns Make Shop & Studio and is also the founder of the Urban Street Bazaar.
McCullough-Kim discovered the need for a craft fair in the Dallas area becase these handmade vendors weren’t making traditional products, she said.
“They didn’t fit with stuff ‘made in China,’” McCullough-Kim said.
The handmade items at this modern street fair are all locally made.
Anne Jones, a jewelry artist and metalsmithing teacher, is a vendor at this year’s bazaar. Jones has made jewelry since she was a student at UNT in 1998.
“The first time I did the bazaar, I was so surprised how excited and interested they were about my jewelry,” Jones said. “It was a really great experience.”
The pieces Jones sells cost anywhere from $25 to $4,000. At her first and only Urban Street Bazaar this past April, Jones sold about 40 pieces totaling more than $1,500.
“Everyone’s work is really cool,” Jones said. “There’s so much unique stuff.”
Vendors are chosen through a jury process by submitting photos of their work and a link to their website.
“You’re not going to find your tradi-tional crafts here,” McCullough-Kim said. “It’s definitely a fun alternative to the shopping mall.”
This is the last Urban Street Bazaar because McCullough-Kim will open a 5,000 square foot marketplace for these vendors in the Bishop Arts
District, called Indie Genius.Rachel Gaddie, a fiber arts senior
and owner of Etsy shop RACHELelise, is another vendor selling at Saturday’s event, offering homemade purses, messenger bags, jewelry and home decor.
“I started doing it when I was selling bags at Art Six when I was a freshman, and I got a really good response from the community,” Gaddie said.
Emilia Debellis, a criminal justice sophomore, said she was interested in attending Saturday’s event.
“I love items that are handmade because they are different, and no one will have the same one,” she said.
Gaddie said the bazaar is great for students because it’s catered to them with affordable pricing compared to other art shows and craft fairs.
“Dallas has such a strong arts community,” Gaddie said. “I think it’s really nice that there’s this major underground movement coming out of Dallas that is mostly young people.” Anne Jones, a jewelry artist and metal smith teacher, will be a vendor at the Urban
Street Bazaar Saturday and Sunday, held at Bishop and 8th street in downtown Dallas.

Through an intense performance, Eisenberg s t i l l m a i n t a i n s a detached demea nor suggesting his char-acter doesn’t care about the success and popu-larity he’s gaining.
“The Social Network” a l lows Eisenberg to shine, unlike the drab
and overdone story of his previous film, “Adventureland.” With such an iconic and important role under his belt, Eisenberg’s talent and name will now become well-known.
Justin Timblerlake’s appear-ance seems a litt le sketchy in hindsight. Better known for his
singing and dancing, Timberlake’s transition into film was a great decision.
His charisma translates well as Sean Parker, the broke inventor of Napster, who steps in to advise Zuckerberg and Saverin. He encourages them to make Thefacebook bigger and better and even advises them to drop “the” from the title.
Zuckerberg and Parker forge a relationship based on their fasci-nation with each other and create an opportunity to observe the chemistry between the actors.
T he stor y is ser ious a nd dramatic, but between the seri-ousness, there’s clever and witty comedy throughout. The audi-
ence roared with laughter one minute and gripped the edge of their seats the other.
T h is f i l m ha s ever y t h i ng a f i lm should have, including amazing cinematography. As the Winklevoss twins compete in a close and important rowing competition, the music intensi-fies as the camera focuses on the muscles and red-faced competi-tors.
“The Social Network” creates an experience every young adult can relate to. The movie portrays the drama Facebook created just bet ween the founders, but it also foreshadows the drama and conf lict the website generates every day.

Wit h t he computer screen i l luminat ing his face, Ma rk Zuckerberg, portrayed by actor Jesse Eisenberg, creates the social networking site that defines this generation.
“The Social Network” tells the story of Facebook, beginning with Zuckerberg’s drunken construc-tion of a site called “Facemash,” depicting the faces of undergrad-uate girls and allowing the rest of Harvard to choose the face they think is hottest.
T houg h t he site r u i ns Zuckerberg’s reputation, he attracts the attention of the well-to-do Winklevoss twins, who hire him to build a site they name HarvardConnection.c o m , a l l o w i n g everyone at Harvard to connect through the Internet.
With this idea as a spark, Zuckerberg comes up with the idea for Thefacebook.com and begins the creation with invest-ment from his friend Eduardo Saverin, who would eventually sue him.
