Discovery Park student lounge offers ‘social space’

BY TIM MONZINGO Senior Staff Writer

About 50 graduate and undergraduate students filed into the new student lounge at UNT’s Discovery Park for the dedication by UNT Interim President V. Lane Rawlins.

The lounge, which was completed earlier this summer, is intended to provide a place for the graduate and undergraduate students who spend a lot of their time at the facility on Elm Street about five miles from the main campus.

Lisa Campbell, the assistant dean of students at Discovery Park, said she wanted the lounge to be a place where students could relax and talk about the work they’re doing.

“I wanted to create an environment that felt like the living room of the house, so to speak,” she said. “I think that the more they engage and interact with each other, they will share ideas, they’ll talk about the research they’re doing.”

Campbell said she wants the lounge to serve the same ideo-

logical function as a student union. She wants it to be a place for students to congregate and interact with their peers and faculty.

“I think the sharing of ideas is only going to advance everything and to be that casual space for them to engage with their faculty in a different way,” Campbell said.

To help students relax, the new lounge is equipped with big screen TVs, games like chess and dominoes, and video game systems like Wii and PlayStation 3.

Jaeger Wells, a graduate student and the vice president of the Information and Library Sciences Student Association, said the lounge was much needed and will change how students experience Discovery Park. “[The lounge is] a godsend,” Wells said in a speech during the dedication. “It makes this not only an intellectual space, but a social space.”

Matthew Philpot, a computer engineering junior, said the new lounge is better than what they used to have and feels that other

lounges aren’t as comfortable.

“I really like it compared to anything on the main campus,” he said. “It’s a lot quieter and really nice to study [in].”

Campbell said that because Discovery Park caters primarily to research, there really wasn’t “a hang-space for students,” and that is what she was hoping to create.

“We’ve been working all year since I got here, and actually before I got here, trying to carve out a true student lounge,” she said. “There just hasn’t been some dedicated space for them to just chill.”

Rawlins said he was glad to see the administration being more accommodating to more students.

“Somebody once told me if you can’t bring the hay to the goats, you need to bring the goats to the hay, and I think what we’re doing here is really extending our services to more of our students,” he said. “I’m really proud that student development and student affairs did that and that the students are going to use it.”

dean of students and founding director of the UNT Veterans Center.

Because of that situation, UNT has been making strides toward improving assistance and outreach to the military community.

G.I. Jobs magazine, a publication that according to its website reaches 100 percent of veteran transfer classes and vetera n assista nce of f ices, named UNT in its annual list of military-friendly universi-

ties. The number of student veterans eligible for VA education benefits at UNT has also increased three years in a row, from 569 in the fall 2007 to 836 in the spring 2010, according to the UNT registrar.

“We have a sincere commitment to our student veterans,” Hicks said.

UNT accepts all transfer c re d it s st udent veter a n s have obtained before their enrollment and that experience prompts many student

UNT is among seven universities eligible for Tier One status in Texas because of House Bill 51.

This eligibility has turned into a supposed race for state funding for universities. The universities that are successful in reaching financial thresholds for certain areas of funding, such as research, will be eligible to receive more funding for those areas. For example, the Texas Research Incentive Program is providing matching funds for those that pass the Tier One threshold. If a university receives as much as $100 million from any donor, the state will match it, awarding the same amount.

“UNT students should be proud that our university is included in the seven Texas institutions who will be eligible for supplemental state funding to build our research capacity,” Chancellor Lee Jackson wrote in an e-mail, “but they should also understand that this is not a competition with clear winners and losers, and there is no shortterm ‘‘scoreboard’.”

The National Research University Fund sits at $500 million, in which amounts of the fund will be designated on a first reach, first serve basis.

“The future of America depends on high quality education and training in an environment where young people and faculty are working together,” UNT Interim President V. Lane Rawlins said. “By increasing the quality of our students, increasing the strength of our programs, increasing our research output, all those things essentially improve students’ education.”

With only three Tier One colleges in the state, the Texas Legislature is eager to build a Tier One image, or mindset, to compare with other states, such as California with nine Tier One colleges and New York with seven.

Although there is not an official classification of Tier One status, Vishwanath “Vish” Prasad, the vice president of research at UNT said, the actual “image” of Tier One can create

huge impacts on a university.

“Tier One image is ex t remely important for the university because LEE you h av e JACKSON better quality faculty, classrooms and education,” he said. “The value of your degree goes up.”

Tier One i m age is V. LANE ba se d on RAWLINS many factors.

The top five are research, publications, performances, faculty and programs.

Ed Sharpe, a professor VISH of educaPRASAD tion at the University of Texas in Austin, one of the three Tier One institutions in Texas, said Tier One is largely focused on research and doctoral programs.

“Doctoral programs and research are the two key elements,” he said. “They go hand in hand.”

UNT’s main drive to reach Tier One is to increase university research and external funding to meet the state’s National Research University Fund by 2016 with $45 million in restricted research expenditures for two years. It is then to move forward to achieve funding consistent with meeting national research university status by 2020.

“At that point, we will be so well known that people will start thinking UNT is a Tier One now,” he said.

Prasad said universities are categorized into three levels of research: very high, high and general. Ninety-six universities in Texas are at the “very high” research level right now, with 103 at high level. UNT is at the

high level.

“Right now we are one of the top 200 listed in the country,” he said. “We would like to be among the top 100.”

The university also plans to increase its doctoral programs to 200 per year, Prasad said.

The university now has 120 per year.

“We want to [increase] to a total doctorate program to 300 or more,” he said. “That means we’ll have to admit more doctorate students.”

Prasad said the university hopes to meet this goal by 2020.

“All around growth is very important,” he said. “We want to hire 150 faculty members in the next five years.”

Prasad said the university is targeting research-funded faculty members to help obtain money for Tier One. However, the university will still hire for other areas.

Achieving Tier One image can also affect students’ careers and make a difference in salary.

“It brings better opportunities for students,” he said. “It brings more career offers with your degree coming from a Tier One institution.”

UNT came in seventh in restricted research expenditures, in comparison to the other six colleges, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. UNT also placed second in conferring doctoral programs, between University of Houston and Texas Tech, according to US News and World Report’s 2011 College Rankings. However, UNT placed fifth in research endowment right below UT-El Paso. Tech and Houston claimed the top two slots.

“It is understandable that other universities have much larger research programs currently,” Jackson said in an e-mail. “This is not a footrace and UNT is not really in a competition with others –– the only real competition is with ourselves.

We will need to balance our existing commitments to many fine academic programs and our need to support enrollment

With the end of combat operations in Iraq and the addition of UNT to G.I. Jobs magazine’s annual list of military friendly schools, the university is working to improve its level of service to veterans seeking an education.

City, group try to control feral cat overpopulation

BY SETH COHN

Contributing Writer The cats roam the streets at night.

Some search for food, their cries echoing in the dark. Others approach cautiously, optimistic they may find water or, at best, a new companion.

The presence of stray cats in Denton has grown, as feral felines have been appearing in neighborhoods and apartment complexes increasingly throughout the past several years.

The Feral Cat Coalition, a California-based clinic, defines feral cats as the wild offspring of domestic cats, primarily as a result of pet owners’ abandonment and failure to spay and neuter cats.

For 12 years, the UNT Feral Cat Rescue Group has assisted in humanely reducing and managing the cat population on campus.

“Every week, I get at least three or four calls about ferals around campus,” said Nancy Kelly, the leader of the UNT Feral Cat Rescue Group for seven years.

She said feral cat populations are common in cities with “transient poplulation[s].”

“UNT and Denton are no different,” Kelly said.

Da l la s Newel l, who co-founded the UNT Feral Cat Rescue Group in 1998 and now runs the Denton Humane Society, believes that a feral cat problem has been present for many years in the areas around campus.

“We absolutely have an overpopulation of ferals in Denton,” Newell said. “Most of the calls at the Humane Society come from apartment residents or owners of older houses.”

Woodie Wilson, the supervisor of the city-run Denton Animal Shelter, said that the shelter received 476 stray catrelated calls in 2009.

The feral problem is preventable, Newell said, citing the “Trap-Neuter-Release” method as the most effective tool in feral cat prevention.

TNR is a method that has gained popularity in previous years. As the name suggests, t he met hod i nvolves t he

Feral cats, the wild offspring of domestic cats, wander around Denton, including around the UNT campus. The population has increased in recent years despite the adoption of the “Trap-Neuter-Release” method. huma ne t rapping of cats, spaying or neutering them and then releasing them back into the wild or their colony.

In 2008, the city of Denton approved a feral cat ordinance

that, for the first time, legalized the maintaining of a feral cat colony provided that all cats get spayed and neutered.

The ordinance, put in place to help manage the feral cat

population, cites the method as the chosen and most effective way of dealing with the number of ferals.

Brent Olechna, a Denton resident for three years, says

he has yet to see any changes instituted by the ordinance other than the suggestion of adhering to TNR. “I tend to see three or four new cats ever y time I ride my bike through my neighborhood,” said Olechna, who recently adopted a neglected cat off the streets. “People shou ld ta ke responsibi lit y and get their cats spayed or neutered. It’s really as simple as that.”

For further control of the feral cat population, Newell suggests forming apartmentwide and street-wide programs i n wh ich t he prog ra m is agreed to and executed by all members.

For Denton residents interested in assisting w ith the program, The Denton Low Cost Spay & Neuter clinic offers cat sterilizations for between $30 and $40 every Wednesday and Thursday.

them. The Veterans Center is also an environment where student veterans can receive peer-to-peer support from fellow service members.

“Before we had the veteran center, there wasn’t a place for veterans to go and speak that veteran language and speak with those who have had simi la r ex periences,” said Dantrayl Smith, Student Veterans Association adviser.

“With the Veteran Center, they

have that central place where they can do that.”

Christina Pratt, a photography junior who served in t he a r my, a r r ived at UN T before the center or the associat ion ex i sted. W it h t he advent of the UNT chapter of the association, however, Pratt has become one of the founding members and acts as a peer adviser to student veterans.

“When I got here, there was

little to no help for student veterans,” Pratt said. “I was trying to set up my own organization for veterans.”

T he St udent Money Management Center is also i n s t r u ment a l i n he lpi n g st udent vetera ns i n t hei r educat ion at UN T a nd beyond, prov iding consultation, workshops and other programs.

“W hat amazes me is that t hey a re not awa re of t he

benefits that are out there,” said Velma Gray, the veterans financial specialist. “W hen they come to our office they a re able to con nec t w it h people who can help them.”

University officials see it as a way to assist people who have dedicated time for the countr y’s safety.

“This is an opportunity to ser ve those who ser ve and help t hem be suc c e s sf u l students,” Hicks said.

As the university grows, the commitment to providing programs targeted at student veterans grows as well.

“I think if we want to take it to the next level, we need a mechanism to include alumni,” Hicks said. “People support what they help to create.”

O n e of t h e d i f f i c u lties for student veterans is finding many of the oppor-

tunities available to them at UNT. Thirty-one percent of student veterans take advantage of the many benefits their service warrants them, Hicks said.

Hollywood usually goes wrong with remakes Opinion

By Joshua shamBurger Staff Writer

Hollywood remakes are a sad lack of creativity, and most are just wasting everyone’s time and money.

W hat t hat i n s a ne mone y spend i ng mach i ne ca l led Hollywood seems to be doing is saying “Hey, we can make old movies even better by remaking them w ith our modern technology! We’re running out of ideas anyway!”

It only seems to be making classics worse.

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it In a way, better technology can make a movie better. You can have a better movie by buying better costumes, equipment and paying more famous actors.

However, a prime example of this is Alice in Wonderland, which was remade for what seems like the 85th time. It made tons of money, mostly because it was in 3D… and because of its star, Johnny Depp.

But this modern adaptation of a classic just insulted the original product.

Creating a remake is a very tricky situation because it’s all about making a different version of

something that is already good.

Some rema kes ma ke huge changes to the original movie and did not surpass the original in any way. The worst remakes in recent years are: 1. Fame (2009) 2. The Karate Kid (2010) 3. Death at a Funeral (2010) Resurfacing the good Now there are remakes that actually make the original product better.

The directors and writers of these films actually believed they could make it better, and they succeed. Here are the top three examples of what good remakes are:

There are more terrible remakes than there are good, unfortunately, and the annoying comeback of 3D has given Hollywood more of an excuse to remake already well made films.

Cool weather to disappear soon

BY JOSH PHERIGO Assigning Editor

After two consecutive days of record-tying high temperatures — 107 degrees Sunday and 105 degrees Monday — a temporary cool front blew through North Texas, relieving residents and baffling meteorologists at the end of the seventh hottest August for the region on record.

The dramatic drop came Tuesday morning when a broad upper-level pressure system that had been sitting over the region for weeks shifted to the west, allowing a cool front to arrive, said Eric Martello, a National Weather Service metereorologist.

“The high [pressure system] that had been so stout and so strong weakened and allowed the cool front to move through,” Martello said. “Plus the rain and cloud cover helped lower the temperature as well. This is not

University works for Tier One classification

a normal occurrence.”

Tuesday ’s of f icia l h ig h temperature was recorded at 96 degrees at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and Wednesday’s high reached 81 degrees. The two-day drop was so significant, Martello said, it tied a record low hightemperature for the date set in 1911.

“I think everybody enjoyed the cooler weather,” Martello said. “It made for a nice break from the heat.”

For Monica Saunders, a business sophomore working orientation for new students this summer, the blistering heat has been a headache. While living in Legends Hall, Saunders said, she walks to campus along North Texas Boulevard, a route that provides little shade.

“I always feel the sun beating down along the way,” she said.

“The heat is unbearable.”

On Wednesday morning,

Saunders said, the unseasonal cooler temperatures pleasantly surprised her.

“The sun was gone and the walk was much nicer,” she said.

“I can’t wait until winter.”

Some students said they took advantage of the lower temperatures and relaxed before the start of classes.

Krystal Rangel, a biology

sophomore, said she roamed the campus with several friends.

“I personally cannot stand the heat, so it’s been a good change,” Rangel said.

The temperature is expected to creep back up in the coming days, Martello said.

Highs should be back in the upper 90s by Saturday afternoon.

“Students who are night owls have lower GPAs and morning types have higher GPAs.” Founded by Daniel Taylor of the psychology department, the Sleep and Health Research Lab is dedicated to the study of treatment, causes and secondary outcomes of sleeping disorders.

Taylor got his graduate degree at the University of Memphis.

He completed an internship at Brown University before coming to UNT to open the facility. He hopes to lead a fully operating sleep clinic.

“We are working to make our lab both research and clinical, but building a clinical lab costs

money,” Taylor said. “We are still working to get university support for that.”

The sleep clinic is helpful in diagnosing a wide range of sleep disorders and could help expand the lab’s research.

Most research has proven that cognitive behavioral therapy in the best treatment of insomnia, Taylor said Cognitive behavioral therapy consists of weekly visits to a therapist who gives clients a series of sleep assessments, has them complete a sleep diary and works with them in sessions to help them change the way they sleep, according to the National Sleep

Foundation.

“There are a number of medications but those are generally approved for a short time — from two weeks to six months,” Taylor said. “You don’t want to take something that’s a short term treatment for a chronic problem.”

Emily Scoresby, a vocal performance graduate student, has trouble sleeping and takes medication at times.

“I take Lunesta to help me sleep,” Scoresby said. “Sometimes if I don’t have a full eight hours to sleep, I can’t take the Lunesta because I will have a hangover in the morning.”

Sleeping habits affect grade-point averages

BY SAMANTHA GUZMAN Contributing Writer

A recent study of more than 1,000 students, conducted by the UNT Sleep and Health Research Lab, showed the effects that sleeping disorders have on other aspects of a student’s life.

The students filled out questionnaires about their health, sleep habits and academic records.

“The information that has come out of it so far is that students who have insomnia have more health care costs than students that don’t have insomnia,” said Kevin Sethi, a graduate assistant in the lab.

After days of little or no sleep, Scoresby said it begins to affect her productivity.

“I have a really hard time focusing, and I have no energy to get anything done,” she said.

“I am pretty useless.”

The Sleep and Health Research Lab also does studies on epidemiology, which is looking at cause and consequences of insomnia. The studies look into whether treating someone’s insomnia helps solve problems such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse, Taylor said.

“What people have done less research on is to see what the secondary outcomes are,” he said.

Sethi is getting his doctorate in clinical health psychology and began working in the sleep lab in 2007. He has helped Taylor with everything from grant writing to scheduling participants for studies.

Grow i ng up i n a Sout her n B a pt i s t t ow n , G le n Fa r r i s , production manager for record compa ny a nd event producer Spune Productions, would gather with his family and neighbors on hot summer days.

The communit y would line up homemade ice cream buffet style on a table until the sound of laughter and spoons scooping out the frozen delight transformed the atmosphere.

It is childhood memories like these Farris recalls when he’s brainstorming a way for locals to live in the moment and have fun together.

Farris came up with the Spune 2K10 Ice Cream Social, a mixture of Fa r r is a nd fou nder La nce Yocom’s favorite pastimes: music, friends, drinks and ice cream.

The event will take place at 7 p.m. on Aug. 28 at Hailey’s w it h t he f i r s t b a nd, L a nd Mammals, going on at 7:50 p.m.

Armadillo Ale Works will provide complementary kegs for of-age attendees.

“I thought it was sort of a nod to how I think a lot of people around here grew up,” Farris said.

“Maybe it was sort of me saying, ‘Ya know, just going to the bar to get hammered isn’t the only time you should see your friends.’”

Farris w itnessed a group of bands playing a series of house shows, and the city coming back to life with new and returning residents.

“Eventually, it clicked,” Farris

The idea to bring Farris’ childhood memory of an ice cream potluck to life again was created last summer.

“This is a ‘dig in and enjoy some beers, ice cream and music with your friends’ situation, so get comfy and cut loose a little bit,” Farris said.

The UNT volleyball team is gearing up for its upcoming season with its first tournament, the Jackson State tournament, this Friday and Saturday in Jackson, Miss.

The new season is comprised of returning players and fresh faces, including that of new head coach Ken Murczek.

Murczek is UNT’s eighth head coach and was previously an assistant coach at Kansas and Virginia. This is his first time as head coach for a Division I school.

Optimism is abounding for the upcoming tournament and year after a strong spring exhibition season where UNT went 16-8.

Going into the tournament, the team and Murczek have a few goals they hope to carry on throughout the season.

“We will try to, first of all, establish a line up,” Murczek said. “We had a good preseason and will hopefully continue to build on that and have some fun, bond and grow as a team.”

The Mean Green will take on three teams at the tournament, including old rival University of New Orleans, which left the Sun Belt Conference earlier this year. UNO leads the overall series against UNT 14-11.

The Mean Green then meets up w it h tou r na ment host Jackson State University and leads the series against JSU 2-0, with a 3-0 sweep in the last meeting in 2008.

UNT w i l l t hen ta ke on Sout hea ster n L ou isia na University for the first time.

Returning for t he Mea n Green this season is senior outside hitter Amy Huddleston, who led the team last season with 414 kills.

Huddleston believes the team is ready to take on this season and this weekend’s tournament with high goals in view.

“We’re going to focus on our side of the court and run the middle, and personally I want to help the team get off to a

Another key player for this season is returning junior

starting setter Kayla Saey, who had a total of 991 assists and averaged 8.93 per set last season.

“We are on an uphill slope right now,” Saey said. “As long as we have relentless defensive effort and communication, we

will be satisfied.”

Murczek and the team look to set the bar for the season at the tournament, starting with a match against SLU at 3:30 p.m. Friday. UNT then plays JSU at 11:30 a.m. and UNO at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

BABY TALK: It’s all about the numbers for football this year Opinion

BY BEN BABY

Senior Staff Writer In the past two seasons, the Mean Green football team has accumulated three wins.

Three. Tres. The number between two and four.

Last season, UNT could have easily put four or five games in the win column, but for some reason the Mean Green found ways to squander late leads.

When leading after three quarters, UNT had a record of 1-3.

But that’s all in the past, or at least let’s hope so.

On Wednesday afternoon, head coach Todd Dodge said that a 2-to-1 turnover margin could result in three wins.

That number is half of what it would take to become bowleligible (six, in case anybody was wondering).

Let’s make it clear: if the Mean Green does not win at least six games, it will be nothing short of a disappointment. This team is far too talented to end up in the cellar of the Sun Belt Conference.

UNT has been fa r too familiar with the bottom half of the conference standings, having not finished higher than seventh in the last five seasons.

The last time the Mean Green had a winning season, former head coach Darrell Dickey led UNT to a Sun Belt Conference championship.

Since then, Fouts Field has been the home of a team that hasn’t been able to win, or fill the stadium, despite having a spring 2010 enrollment of 34,581.

But this could be the year all

that can change.

The team could possibly win all its home games in October, with three contests against Louisiana-Lafayette, Arkansas State and Florida International.

Those three teams had a combined record of 13-23 last season. The Mean Green lost those games by an average of five points.

For anybody who’s still counting, that’s three games.

Two wins in September and

another win in December would give the team the wins it needs to be eligible to head to its first bowl game since 2004.

There are going to be people who will say that hoping for six wins at a Division-I program is a little optimistic. Anybody who wishes to say such things is free to watch Western Kentucky’s football program for a year –– something equivalent to torture.

There’s no denying that this

is going to be a critical year for Dodge, whose .139 winning percentage is the worst in school history –– something he doesn’t need me to remind him of. If Dodge can find a way to patch up some of last year’s problems, he could find himself coaching in 2011 at a brand new stadium.

This season, fans should plan on spending six Saturdays at Fouts Field, because they have a team that is worth watching.

RG Burgers may be easy to miss with its nondescript entrance, but it proves to be a place to experience delectable burgers.

As customers pile in the restaurant, they are greeted with old style Texas décor, photographs and an American flag on the walls.

Customers seat themselves at the picnic-like tables covered with cloth

in the traditional red and white checkered pattern and wait for a server to hand them a menu.

The menu has something for everyone, whether they eat red meat or not. Items include chicken salad, spicy chicken sandwiches, relish hotdogs, jalapeno poppers and even a massive four patty burger layered with melted cheddar cheese and smoky hickory bacon called the King Kong Burger.

Even if you’re craving a burger but are worried about the calorie count, it’s possible to substitute beef for veggie or lean ground turkey patties.

The bacon and cheddar burger is a delight. Fresh onions, tomatoes and lettuce are piled on top of the cheese.

Mean Green soccer faces first road test of season

BY SEAN GORMAN Senior Staff Writer

A f ter doi ng ju st a bout everything right at home in its first two games, the UNT soccer team hopes to continue building on its early success as it prepares for its first road trip.

The Mean Green (2-0-0) will compete in the Hotel Encanto Aggie Classic in Las Cruces, N.M. this weekend, playing against the Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers (0-1-0) and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks (0-2-0). “ T he go a l f or u s t h i s weekend is to come home 4-0 and continue playing well at home after that,” head coach Joh n Hed lu nd sa id. “Ou r offense is going to have a lot of opportunities to score and I’m excited to see what they can do.”

After a devastating loss to the Lady Panthers last season, the Mean Green is prepared to avenge the defeat when the teams meet on Friday.

“That’s def initely somet h i ng t hat w i l l be on ou r minds when we play them,” junior defender Julie Lackey said. “They’re a team that we feel we should have beat last season.”

Outscor i ng its f i rst t wo opponents 10-1 last weekend, U N T w i l l look to use it s weapons on offense by staying aggressive around the net.

“They have a lot of great players on offense, so we are definitely going to be more defensive-minded when we play them,” Prairie View A&M head coach Abe Garcia said.

“If we can hold them in check and get some quality counter attacks, that will give us the best chance to win.”

Despite an 82-7-3 record at home since 2000, the Mean Green hasn’t experienced as much success on the road, going 3-5-2 away from home last season.

“We have some important road games at the end of the season that we need to win if we want to win the conference,” Hedlund said. “I think we have enough mental toughness on this team to compete in those games.”

Coming off a devastating dou ble - ov e r t i m e lo s s t o Georgia State, the Gamecocks haven’t had the idea l start with two losses.

“We did a great job staying mentally tough all game and took advantage of the opportunities that

Leisurely reading can give breaks to stressed students Opinion

By Nicole l aNdry Staff Writer

With all the supplies and textbooks that must be bought and an inf lux of papers and exams looming in the distance, the last thing students want to think about is all the reading they will have to do.

But as a literary optimist, I’d like to think that indulging in a little voluntary reading is the spoonful of sugar to an otherwise bitter dose of required reading. So, I’ve compiled a list of some books to ease students into the beginning of a new semester, whether it is their first or their last.

It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

Cra ig Gilner spent a yea r preparing for what was going to be the most important test of his life: the Bernard Lutz Philanthropic Exam that would get him into Manhattan’s Executive Pre-Professional High School.

Getting the acceptance letter was the highlight of his life. Then it all went downhill.

This book chronicles how Craig finds himself in a psychiatric ward in Argenon Hospital and the life lessons he learns during his six-day stint.

It may seem like a bad idea to read about how a teenage boy allowed school to stress him out so much that he ends up trying to kill himself, but it is the perfect example of how you should never allow too much pressure to mess with your head. Besides, with teasing transgendered patients, a mysteriously quiet girl with scars on her face

and a fast-talking, suicidal old man named Humble, this book is definitely a funny story.

Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno Brian has a problem. He’s in love with his punked-out, loudmouthed, plumper-than-average best friend, Gretchen.

But living in a town divided by racism and anarchy in the early ‘90s does not make this realization any easier, especially not when Gretchen is constantly pining over a white power thug named Tony Degan.

The other problem is he is busy trying to figure out who he is while succumbing to the oppressive demands of his Catholic school, dealing with the inevitable demise of his parents’ marriage and searching for a way to understand life with the help of his music

collection of Guns ‘n Roses, The Clash and AC/DC tapes.

Anyone who has tried to understand the consequences of unrequited love while braving the hormonal sea of adolescence will be able to relate to Brian’s story.

Tweak by Nic Sheff This is the only memoir on the list, but it finds itself right in line with everything else.

Nic Sheff spent a lifetime being addicted to drugs and alcohol after his first sneak peak in his parents’ liquor cabinet at the age of 11.

Since then, he’s been boozing, snorting and injecting his way through life. Even if you’ve never so much as took a little too much Tylenol in your life, it’s possible that you will see a little bit of yourself, or someone you know, in Sheff, and that’s what makes its message even more powerful.

Punk rock, drug use and college life are just a few of the topics covered in these must-have reads for back to school. “Hairstyles of the Damned” follows a young man as he pursues his passion for metal music and tries to get the girl.

Free Week presents various local talent By levi Shultz aNd JeSSica Paul Intern and Senior Staff Writer

Many students in Denton are unaware of the thriving local music scene that surrounds them, but a local music venue owner is hoping to familiarize students and Denton residents with the city’s talent.

Seven years ago, Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios owner Joshua Baish decided to start an annual tradition of hosting Free Week from Monday to Saturday, an event where Baish hopes to bring the community together with a week of free shows.

“It gets people acclimated with the local music scene without any cost,” Baish said.

This year attendees should expect a variety of music styles from raw punk to indie rock. The shows kick off Monday with live band karaoke presented by Cheddy Tenderson’s Cheddyoke.

Musician Dale Jones’ New Science Projects, which performed at last year’s Free Week, will perform his energetic punk style again this year.

For fans of electronica, Denton band Peopleodian will play Sept. 2.

Tre Orsi, which recently returned from a tour, will be playing its indie rock show.

The Hope Trust will make an appearance at Free Week for the first time. The band has recently been in the process of recording a second album straight from the house of lead singer and guitarist Kelly Upshaw.

“This new album definitely explores new sounds,” Upshaw said.

Music fans can also listen to experimental band Sunnybrook to get a taste of what Denton’s music scene is like.

“It’s an awesome way to meet new

Damien Williams, a criminal justice sophomore, said since the event is happening all wee, he can go whenever he wants without missing bands.

“It kind of makes us just see all the bandsforfree,andItrustRubberGloves’ style and the type of bands they bring in there,” Williams said.

English senior Cody Maxwell “Slim-fit boot-cut jeans, bandanas, white v-necks and vests. The look of denim but not the feel.”

Communication design sophomore Lance Trachier “Back to basics.”
