Students face graduating in wrecked economy

Mean Green Hopes To Fry Rice

BY TIM MONZINGO & SARA CORWIN

Senior Staff Writer & Intern More t ha n 14 m i l l ion Americans are unemployed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With 2.9 percent of the country’s population looking for steady employment, college graduates face a bleak job market. When Thomas Wild graduated with a psychology degree from UNT, he, like other recent graduates, was challenged to find a job in his field. For many, turning to graduate school offers the hope of better opportunities. “There is plenty of research out there that shows that … when the economy suffers, people begin to look for either new careers and … new kinds of training they might need, or they look to improve the skills they have,” said James Meernik, the acting dean of UNT’s Toulouse Graduate School. Wild realized the difficulties for psychologists with a bachelor’s degree, he said. “It’s frustrating and disenchanting at first, but I knew what I was getting into,” he said. “Every [job] would require a master’s degree.” People across the nation are experiencing the same problem. The “labor market is still kind of treading water ...,” said Joshua Shapiro, the chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc., in an article by the New York Times. “It’s better than sinking, but it’s certainly not surging ahead.” Though Wild needed a master’s to work in his field, his degree helped land two part-time jobs while he figured out what to do next, he said. “I [would] prefer a job in the field, but when needing a job, it’s more general,” Wild said. “You take what you can get.”

He is taking a year off to find the next step, but other students faced with the same decision have chosen graduate school with the hopes of more options. Adrienne Ortega graduated in December of 2009, but limited options forced her to rethink her post-graduation plans. “It wasn’t as easy finding a job that I wanted straight out of graduating as I thought it might be, although it seemed like I had all of the qualifications they wanted,” she said. “I applied to a lot of places that

I wanted to work, but I didn’t really get many responses.” Ortega’s job hunt landed her an administrative job at UNT, but she decided to seek a graduate degree to get into the field of nonprofit and nongovernmental organization work. She is now a graduate student in women’s studies and hopes it will help her work with organizations like the Peace Corps or Oxfam. With a wider range of knowledge, Ortega said, she thinks her prospects will be better.

Chemistry professor brings international outlook BY BRIANNE TOLJ Design Editor

UNT has opened its doors to inter nat iona l ly recognized computational chemist Jan “Gershom” Martin this semester, adding to the chemistry department’s growing faculty. Martin, a self-confessed “computer fanatic,” was until recently the Baroness Thatcher Professor of Chemistry at the Weizmann Institute in Israel. He conducted research and taught graduate classes at the multidisciplinar y research institution for 14 years.

Martin, a native of Belgium and nat ura li zed Israeli citizen, is glad to be a new member of the UNT community. JAN “ U N T MARTIN is bu i ld i ng a center of excellence,” said Martin. “The chemistry department is trying to position itself as a strong department and is attracting a lot of students to UNT specifically.” The Center for Advanced

Scientific Computing and Modeling, a lso k now n as CASCaM, approached Martin about joining the department, he said. The center is a group of faculty who pursue research, training and education projects with the use of advanced scientific computing, according to its website. The federally funded center focuses on applications in the fields of chemistry, materials science, biology and engineering, according to a news release by the UNT System. Martin will be a member of the center.

until it all runs out or they get tired, then they head home. “I’ve been coming out here about twelve years,” said vendor and Pilot Point resident Travis Wilson. Wilson sits in a plaid lawn chair behind an 8-foot assortment of bright green and yellow produce, some of which he grew himself. “I’ve got cantaloupes, potatoes, green beans,” he said. Wilson is one of three vendors at the market this morning, the others trucked-up an equally eye-catching display of produce from nearby Ponder. “They are all just cooking

away, especially with the yellow squash. We used to have some spaghetti squash but we sold all out,” said Milley Hardin, a Ponder native. Sept. 31 will mark the end of this years’ season for the Farmers. They will be out selling their crops three days a week from 7a.m. until sell-out around 1 p.m. “I come here so I can get locally grown stuff. I’ve been coming here for years to get fresh stuff and just to get out and get some fresh air, “said Martha Pannell of Denton.

“CASCaM has led to computational chemistry being a big emphasis of the department,” Martin said. Computational chemistry is a field of chemistry that uses computer quantum physics principles and computer science tools to solve chemical problems. Martin’s other research interests include developing methods for computational thermochemistry, the study of energy in chemical reactions, and applications of chemistry to solve catalysis and renewable energy problems, according to the UNT system news release.

Martin has won worldwide acclaim for his development of the W-1 through W-4 methods for doing what are the most accurate possible calculations of the energies of molecules, said Wes Borden, a fellow chemistry professor and Welch chairman in an e-mail. Martin is the fifth professor hired at UNT with a background in computational chemistry research. The department is searching for a sixth member. The addition of these professors is part of the university’s goal to increase research and achieve Tier One status.

“The chemistry department professors’ research allows students to participate in such research opportunities, especially undergraduate students who wouldn’t have an opportunity otherwise,” said Dalton Jojola, a chemistry senior. Martin has won multiple awa rds including t he Outstanding You n g Scientists Award of the Israel Chemica l Societ y a nd t he Dirac Meda l of t he World Association of Theoretica l and Computational Chemists, a c c or d i n g t o t h e n e w s release.

Local farmers sell home-grown produce on corner BY DREW GAINES Staff Photographer

It’s 7 o’clock on a windy Thursday morning. At the intersection of Mulberry Street and Carroll Boulevard, a group of local farmers are tying down their tents and spreading out their season’s crops in preparation for another day at the Denton County Farmer’s Market. The farmers rise early every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and make the drive to Denton with their pickups filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. They busy themselves in the parking lot shelling okra, arranging greens and selling their spoils

Outside experience increases opportunities Continued from Page 1 In troubled economic times, many people return to schools with the hopes of widening their marketability, Meernik said. Meernik said this year applications to the graduate school have increased, but he acknowledged that a graduate program isn’t always the best way to go for people looking for employ-

ment in tough times. “It really just depends on which sector of the economy you’re talking about,” he said. “In some areas, there is a real need for people with advanced degrees.” Fields like biolog y a nd computer science offer more for graduate students, he said, but it really depends on the person. “It depends on how comfort-

able the individual is with jumping right into a graduate program, because that’s what they know they want to do,” Meernik said. A big issue facing students as they graduate is their planning, Meernik said. “In general, what you want to be doing is thinking about what kind of career path you see yourself pursuing down for the next five to 10 years and

later on,” he said. For some students, it is important to get into the work force and see if their interests change because of the experience, he said. “It’s important to study what interests you,” Meernik said. He added that another important factor is going beyond the courses you take and mastering skills, like communication and research, that “transcend any

particular department.” Ortega and Wild agreed that going beyond what is offered in the classroom is beneficial. Wild recommended that students take advantage of university services, like the Career Center in Chestnut Hall. “Utilize the Career Center and career advising,” he said. “I did not, and it’s tougher now that I have graduated ... It has

set me back definitely.” Ortega said students should find resources in the world that will give them knowledge in their area. “Try to do more field work to get more experience,” she said. “Get an internship, make connections within the field, so it gives you extra background, as compared to someone who just has a degree or interest in the field with no experience.”

Student leaders seek input through meet and greet By Isaac WrIght & Josh PherIgo

Staff Writer & Assigning Editor Lured in by the pulsing bass of the DJ’s music and the prospect of free ice cream, more than 100 students gathered Thursday evening in the University Union

Syndicate to meet the leaders of UNT’s student body and register to vote. The event was an example of the Student Government Association’s commitment to make itself more available to UNT students this semester, said

the members. “[The students are] just as much a part of it as everyone else,” said Ciara Tristan, the SGA director of leadership and development. “They can take a look and see all the things they can do.”

The organization was placing a greater emphasis on encouraging diversity and maintaining two-way communication with the needs of students, she said. Many of the students not involved in the SGA who attended the event said they got that message. “I found out certain things I like were done by the SGA, like the recycling bins around campus,” said Brian Clancy, a jazz studies senior. “I had that idea but didn’t know who to tell about it. It’s good to know that even if you’re not a member there’s someone in the [SGA] office to tell your idea to.” This year, the SGA is participating in a statewide competition to register voters. Many large universities, such as the University of Texas and the University of Houston, are also involved in the competition. Though the SGA has had voter registration campaigns in the past, this is the first time it has been a part of this competition.

“I found out certain things I like were done by the SGA, like the recycling bins around campus.” —Brian Clancy Jazz studies senior Tristan said she is deputized to register people to vote. She encouraged anyone who wants to help people become registered to get deputized by going to City Hall and filling out the appropriate paperwork. “It’s really easy, and it takes about five minutes,” Tristan said. The SGA will be around campus registering people at various times and locations until the Oct. 4 deadline, she said. Students may also register at the SGA offices or Denton City Hall at 215 E. McKinney St. People over 18 years old

can register if they have a valid Denton address. Aracely Espinosa, a freshman intern, joined the SGA to meet people and get involved at UNT. Leaning over a condiment bar at the back wall, she swept away sugar grains before setting down her voter registration form. She said she wanted to fill out the form so she could vote for the first time in the November elections. “You want to pick someone that will represent you and speak on behalf of your ideas and beliefs,” Espinosa said.

Correction In “Denton City Council bans K2” in the Wednesday edit ion of t he Da ily, t he

article should have said the Council discussed the tax exemption for senior citi-

zens, not that it had already approved that part of the budget.

UNT hopes to avenge embarrassing loss By Ben BaBy

Senior Staff Writer After being humiliated in Houston in 2008, UNT will seek vengeance against Rice University this Saturday at Fouts Field. The Owls pummeled the Mean Green 77-20 in the last meeting between the two schools, scoring all of its points in the first three quarters. UNT will play in its last home opener at Fouts Field. The last time the Mean Green won its first home game was 2006, when it trounced Southern Methodist University 24-6. “They have got our full attention, obviously,” head coach Todd Dodge said. “What we’ve got to do is make sure that we improve the way teams are

supposed to improve from week one to week two.” Senior redshirt quarterback Nathan Tune will lead an offense that picked up 25 first downs last Saturday against Clemson, but only had 10 points on the scoreboard to show for it. Tune threw two costly interceptions against the Tigers, both occurring inside Clemson’s 20-yard line. He will face a defense that is returning nine starters from last season. “I think we need to clean up some of our turnovers,” Tune said. “We had a couple of miscues in the running game and some untimely penalties. If we clean those up then we should be all right.”

Junior running back and Doak Walker Award candidate Lance Dunbar could have another outstanding performance Saturday. In the Mean Green’s first game, Dunbar had a stellar performance, picking up 116 yards on the ground and 178 yards overall. “It really didn’t surprise us that [Dunbar] did what he did because that’s pretty much what he’s done since he’s been our starter,” Dodge said. Rice had a difficult time stopping the run in its first game of the season against Texas, allowing the Longhorns to rush for 205 yards. The Owls have a significant rushing threat of their own

in sophomore running back Sam McGuffie, who transferred from the University of Michigan. McGuffie had 47 yards on 14 carries against the Longhorns. “I think [McGuffie] is a good [running] back,” junior defensive back DaWaylon Cook said. “I think they can do some things running the ball, but I have faith in our defense that we can stop them.” The Mean Green will be without starting cornerback junior defensive back Steven Ford, who had surgery this week on a broken right ankle he suffered against Clemson. Taking the place of Ford will be junior defensive back D’Leon McCord. The Mean Green

secondary will face redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor McHargue, who will make his second career start Saturday. His first start was shaky, as he completed six of 11 attempts for 90 yards, a touchdown and an interception. “D’Leon’s got a huge responsibility,” Dodge said. “He played really well in the situation. He didn’t hurt us at all. We expect him to really thrive in that position.” The depth of the team’s secondary, which was suspect before the injury to Ford, will be tested this week against Rice. Senior safety Ira Smith might see some action at the cornerback position against the Owls.

The match-up between the two schools will feature Rice junior wide receiver Randy Kitchens. He attended Robinson High School in Waco along with UNT junior wide receiver B.J. Lewis. K itchens, who had t wo catches for 53 yards and one touchdown against Texas last week, was recruited by both UNT and Rice. T h is week, t he defense will try to stop easy scores by opposing offenses. Last week against Clemson, the Mea n Green a l lowed fou r touchdowns on drives of four plays or less. Kick-off is slated for 6 p.m. Saturday at Fouts Field.

Biggest challenge of season awaits Mean Green By Sean Gorman Senior Staff Writer

Playing its toughest competition of the season, the UNT women’s soccer team will try to stay in first place in the Sun Belt Conference when it travels to Lubbock to play Texas Tech and Lamar Universities in the Red Raider Classic tonight. The Mean Green (4-1-1) will have its hands full playing the Red Raiders (5-1-0), ranked fourth in the Central Region, and will finish the weekend against the Cardinals (2-2-0), who have won their last two games. “Texas Tech will be the hardest game on our schedule this season,” head coach John Hedlund said. “They are one of the best Big 12 schools in the country and are strong on both sides of the ball.” The Mean Green sports one of the best offenses in the Sun Belt, with freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges and junior midfielder Julie Lackey at the top of the league in scoring and sophomore midfielder Ellen Scarfone leading the league with five assists. Before falling to Notre Dame last Friday, the Red Raiders have experienced one of the best starts in school history, opening the

some point and use this team’s depth.” UNT got the best of the Red Raiders in the teams’ matchup last season, seizing a 2-1 victory at home. Most of the Lamar offense could come from junior forward Lisa Hance, who leads the team in goals with three. “We need to stay focused for each game this weekend and take Lamar just as seriously as we take Texas Tech,” Young said. “Last season, we didn’t take Prairie View A&M as seriously as we could have and we paid for it. I think we learned from that.” While the offense has received most of the attention, the defense has also held its own as senior goalkeeper Mandy Hall is averaging a mere .46 goals against average. “With only three defenders in our formation, we’re taking some risks, but I think we have one of Photo by Jon howell/Staff PhotograPher the best back lines around,” Hall Freshman midfielder Kelsey Hodges takes a shot against New Mexico last Sunday.

Intern and Contributing Writer Students tired of the same old “burger-movie-done” type of date should start or end their night at Shogun Steak and Sushi, where they can get a delicious, filling meal that’s worth its high-end price.

Throughout the meal, the chef performs various tricks, like flipping an egg into his or her hat and making a pseudo volcano out of a stacked onion. T he h ibach i menu is a bit on the expensive side, with most of its items including shrimp or scallops, but the portion sizes are definitely worth the price. If a couple wants to go dutch on dinner, they should try the Shogun Seafood Triple Treat, which is a meal of a lobster tail, shrimp and scallops. For about $25 apiece, which includes an $8 meal sharing fee for extra side dishes like rice and vegetables, the sight of the delicious, steaming mountain of food will make customers

The preparation time for the berries takes about 20 minutes, but the cream cheese requires two hours in the refrigerator. While I’m not usually a fan of cream cheese, the taste budawakening sweetness of the strawberries covered up its sour taste. These strawberry sprinkles are a sweet way to spend a nice, relaxing weekend. Ingredients: - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened - 2 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar - 1 pint fresh strawberries - 2 drops food coloring - 4 teaspoons milk - ¼ cup white sugar - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions: Combine the cream cheese, milk, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla in a small bowl. Mix the ingredients until they have a smooth, creamy consistency. Refrigerate for two hours. Mix the white sugar and food coloring until all the sugar is no longer white. Dip the strawberries in the cream cheese combination and sprinkle the dyed sugar on top, shaking off any excess sugar.

If traveling with a smaller crowd, however, sitting at the tables by the sushi bar is a more desirable option. Guests can watch as their rolls are made from scratch. The spicy crab rolls are delicious. Soft, white rice envelops real, spicy crab meat and has fresh cucumbers wrapped inside. The fried California roll is a delight, with a crunchy exterior and a moist center. The portions are large, too. One roll will have most full, but it’s possible

Cats and dogs join forces for common cause By Christina Mlynski Senior Staff Writer

Everyone has experienced pets at some point in their life. They sit on that one piece of furniture when they know they’re not supposed to, indulge in treats and relax as their ears are scratched just right. Regardless of whether anyone admits it, a soft spot is reserved in our hea r ts for t hese f urr y animals. Josh Baish, owner of Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio, will be the first one to confess his love

for both dogs and cats. Seven years ago, he created CATS & DOGS: A Benefit for the Denton Humane Society, so the community could show its affection as well. The benefit starts at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Rubber Gloves, located at 411 E. Sycamore St. A ll of the proceeds go toward the spay and neuter program to help control the overpopulation of stray animals. “I’ve always been a big animal lover, and I was in a position where I could do something to

help,” Baish said. “Lots of my friends are big anima l lovers, too, so it just all came together, and it made sense to turn it into an annual benefit.” CATS & DOGS is co-sponsored by Rubber Gloves, L a Meme Galley and the Denton Humane Society.

Bigger than ever before Three things are new to this year’s annual benefit show: it’s an all-day event, 14 bands will play, the largest it has ever been, and La Meme Gallery will host an art auction. “We’re tr ying to do a really laid back atmosphere so people can sit in on what they like and come and go as t hey please,” Baish said. La Meme Gallery, located next to Rubber Gloves and owned by Pan Ector Industries, is the “sister gallery” to the rehearsal studio, so it made sense for Baish to have the gallery join the cause, he said. “When Josh first approached me to do the f lyer for the event, it meant a lot because I know how very near and dear this show is to

Animals like Sondhi are saved every day thanks to the efforts of the Humane Society and its benefit show at Rubber Gloves. his heart,” said Taylor McClure, co-operator of the gallery and a UNT alumnus. Baish delegated that Meme get other local artists to donate their work, and the money generated would serve the same purpose as what is collected at the door, McClure said. The galler y w ill auction off handmade pieces that follow the theme of cats and dogs, as well as screen-printed T-shirts. Pan Ector Industries hopes to raise $ 500 for the benefit, McClure said. “Any benefit is more important

than just going to a bar because it’s good to have purpose with your actions, especia lly if it’s positive,” McClure said. Creating an impact Rubber Gloves has steadily increased the income from the benefit over the past seven years. Last year, the studio raised just a little more than $1,000. Bash said he hopes to raise $1,500 on Saturday. “Even if you can only come for a band or two, it’s a really fun event that helps save the cats and dogs in our community,” said

With bands playing at one location and art being sold in another, attendees can enjoy a break in between, with complementary barbecue served in the loading and unloading dock in the back of the studio, Baish said. Although Baish feels passionate about bot h cats and dogs, he only owns two cats. People may lean towards one animal over the other, but Baish knows the community will come together and donate its time and money to a worthy cause. “Denton is an artist commu-

Extravaganza showcases autos, antique collectibles By JoShua ShamBurger Staff Writer

If students are fa ns of oldschool cars and like to shop, then they have a reason to wake up early this Saturday. T he D ent on Ma i n St r e e t Association is sponsoring t he 11th Annual Arts, Antiques and Autos Extravaganza from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 110 W. Hickory St. on the historic downtown Denton Square. There will be everything the name suggests, and it’s free to attend. The event attracts people from all over the area. “The event brings in over 2000 people f rom dif ferent cit ies,” said event coordinator Lavonda Lancaster. This year, people can judge and vote for their favorite automobiles, she said.

“Ever y year it gets better,” Lancaster said. “There’s something always being added.” Some local vendors, like Susan Davis, have been participating in the event for years and see it as a benefit to their company. Davis and her husband own Wolf Pack Enter prises, selling jewelr y, pots and other handmade items. “It’s good exposure for business,” Davis said. Business junior John Young said he is interested to see what vendors have to offer. “I’d go see what t hey a re selling,” Young said. Beside the artist booths are the many antique cars, motorcycles and trucks of all types and ages that have been put on display. Harry Plumadore, a participant in the auto show, has entered a

Tera Melos dishes out heavy guitar riffs for latest album OPINION By Levi ShuLtz Intern

If there is any definite way to play Tera Melos’ new album, “Patagonian Rats,” it’s loud. Combining grunge, pop and math

rock –– a complex, guitar-heavy subgenre –– the California band has taken its playing style to a new level by experimenting with new sounds, revealing the diversity of the band’s music. The album begins with a short, laid back, 35-second intro titled “So Occult” right before entering

loudly with “Kelly.” It is one of the album’s most straightforward songs, consisting of a pounding rhythm of power chords with a short burst of phased tremolo afterwards, ending on another burst of power chords. “The Skin Surf” really brings out the pop side of the band. While Nathan Latona plucks out upbeat notes on the

bass, with various tremolo patterns in between, guitarist and vocalist Nick Reinhart joins with upbeat lyrics. The band ends the song with a grungy, math rock melody on the guitar while an ambient synthesizer echoes in the background. The band picks up where it left off later in the album with “Another Surf,” distributing the same grunge feel, but this time with more noise made with Reinhart’s guitar effects than actual melody. Grunge is the basis of the band’s sound, especially in “Aped.” Everything sounds so thrown together and out of place, but the band is able to make everything connect. Perhaps one of the best songs on the album is “Frozen Zoo.” Extensive use of a synthesizer, spacey guitar effects, a consistent sliding bass line and a steady beat by drummer John Clardy, who also pounds out a heavy rhythm in the chorus of the song , give this song a sense of adven-

ture and experimentation with new sounds. It seems that a somewhat darker side of the album can be heard in “Trident Tail.” The last half of the eight-and-a-half minute song slows down to a bluesy, slow dance sound with a trumpet intervening. The album has really brought about a new generation in the music world along with various other artists. It is often difficult for musicians to combine various genres and sounds to make good music, but Tera Melos has really pulled it off.

Students have creative options for going green OPINION B y A mBer m ullins Contributing Writer

Students living in a small college dorm or a 600-square-foot apartment may have their hearts and minds in the right place when wanting to go “green.” But some may hesitate when attempting to live an environmentally friendly lifestyle because they fear their small spaces or budgets may not accommodate so many recycling bins or pricey measures. W hat they may not k now, however, is that there are a lot of interesting “going green” options, many of which can be kept compact or on a modest budget. There are a few small steps that students can take in their everyday

lives that will help reduce their waste. That is what recycling is all about: people coming together to do what they need to do to provide for a healthier future for the planet.

Create an indoor garden A great way to reuse kitchen waste is by creating a compost bin from used fruits, veggies and coffee grounds. Students will save enough landfill space to make a 3-foot-high compost pile the size of the city of San Francisco, Calif. within one year. Odor-free compost bins reduce the smell of decomposing food. Students can keep one under their kitchen sink or any convenient area where it’s available for all compost needs.

Recycle your threads Another way to recycle is to buy vintage or resale clothing. Used clothing may not sound very appealing, but it is an innovative way of recycling that will, instead of taking up more space, actually free up room in a small place. Buying used also cuts back on production costs and the pollution generated when factories have to create new clothes. Many Denton residents already frequent thrift shops in an effort to find something dynamic and interesting to add to their wardrobe or to just try to save money. While they may be doing this for different reasons, buying and selling pre-worn clothing helps by reducing the resources and materials used to provide for additional clothing to fit the needs of the entire public. Many students, however, may not be a fan of recycling and wearing a complete stranger’s clothing. This is where fun activities, like hosting a “clothes swapping” party can come in handy. It’s a fun way of “going green” without having to subject a student to something he or she may not be comfortable with, yet will still allow them to do their part in reducing future waste.

Buy smart

Environmental activists like Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Pollan, author of “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and “Food, Inc.,” said that one of the best ways to be environmentally sustainable and reduce the harmful impact on the environment is to buy smart. In a USA Weekend interview in 2007, DiCaprio said, “Every time you put money down to pay for

Buying clothes from a local thrift store can help cut down on pollution emissions when clothes are made in factories. something, you’re advocating the way the company does business.” It’s not enough to just recycle or buy organic anymore. As buying organic becomes a trend, consumers and students alike can no longer be sure that even organic practices are environmentally sound. To buy smart, students must know what’s in their food and how their food is being treated, packaged and shipped. Shopping for groceries, or anything really, can be similar to voting As their items are scanned, students and consumers are, in a sense, voting for what they want in the stores. Don’t be afraid to research what you’re buying. Buying products made with bad environmental practices is exactly what’s keeping them around.

Green Facts - 79 million tons of waste material was diverted away from disposal in 2005 through recycling and composting. - 20 million tons of electronic waste is thrown away each year. - Buying an antique or vintage piece rather than a new reproduction can save as much as 537 kg of carbon dioxide emissions (the equivalent weight of 6 fully grown men). - Recycling one ton of plastic is the same as saving two people’s energy use for one year.

‘The Virginity Hit’ tells story of today’s teens OPINION BY JOSHUA SHAMBURGER

Staff Writer It’s the newest teen comedy to grace the silver screen, and this one might actually be worth a $10 movie ticket. “The Virginity Hit” was produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, t he w r iters of “A nchor ma n” and “Stepbrothers.” It was also written and directed by the two gentlemen who wrote “The Last Exorcism,” Huck Botko and Andrew Garland. However, the plot of this movie isn’t really anything new. In fact, it’s

very similar to “American Pie.” A group of teenage boys get together to make a pact to lose their virginities by the end of high school. After they succeed, they take a hit from a bong with their lovers, which they call “the virginity hit,” like the title says. Everyone in the group loses it except for one, the dorkiest kid in the group. The nerd, Matt, actually has a girlfriend willing to have sex with him, but both want to wait. This by itself is original because it looks like a decent teenage couple with decent morals. However, everything gets crazy when Matt finds out through his “in your face with

a camera” friend that his girlfriend already lost her virginity. The stars aren’t really stars at all yet, which is something I like. The cast consists of young, lesserknown actors, but the most known actor might be Matt Bennett, who plays the lead role. The acting was pretty good for the newcomers. I like how a lot of it was actually improvised, which made everything more believable and real. The first thing about this movie one will notice is that it is shot by one of the character’s camcorder. The entire movie is from someone’s camera or cell phone, giving you a feeling of actually being there

with them. This actually enhances the adventures of these teenage boys. The story itself is pretty good because of the realism and because it was well written. Unlike most teen comedies, which give the impression that all teenagers are sex-crazed idiots, this comedy actually shows that underneath that exterior lies decent young people with moral sense. The whole movie has a found footage, documentary feel, but it is a regular movie as it has a music score. The music that it has is only used to progress the film through small montages, like a homemade video.

This movie represents today’s youth in a good way and shows how today’s technology works in their crazy lives. However, it’s rated R, and by today’s standards, that means lots of nudity and foul language, so only a mature teen or older audience could watch it, enjoy it and still get the message. It has been called the “American Pie” of our generation, but because of its originality and charm, I give “The Virginity Hit” a 3.5 out of 5.

Fall TV lineup creates buzz for viewers OPINION BY JESSICA DETIBERIIS Intern

For teens and college students across the country, this has been one excruciating summer when it comes to television shows. With so many choice programs ending with shocking twists and cliffhangers, the last four months were nothing but anticipation of what will happen to our favorite characters this fall.

Coming This Fall… “Hawaii Five-O” on CBS Premiers: Monday, Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. A modern spin on a much-loved classic program from the ‘60s. Alex O’Loughlin and Grace Park bring to the screen a beachy-er version of “CSI Miami” in the modernized “Hawaii Five-O.” Other well-known actors: Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) and Scott Caan (“Ocean’s Thirteen”)

“Mike & Molly” on CBS Premiers Monday, Sept. 20 at 8:30 p.m. After an encounter at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting in the bustling city of Chicago, Mike (Billy Gardell“Yes, Dear”) and Molly (Melissa McCa r t hy- “Gi l more Gi rls”) combine crazy social endeavors, attempts to lose weight and unexpected romance in this innovative comedy. Other well-known actors: Reno Wilson (“The Cosby Show”) and Katy Mixon (“Four Christmases”)

Returning Favorites... “NCIS” on CBS Premiers Tuesday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. Season seven ended on a cliffhanger. Gibbs, kidnapped by the daughter of a drug dealer he’d killed 20 years ago, was forced to work for her on threat of death to those he loved. With Tony confronted with a gun to the face and Ziva having

just received her citizenship, no one knows what to expect from season eight. Hope teeters toward despair at the possibility of the beloved team being torn apart again.

“Fringe” on FOX Premiers Thursday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. A sci-fi show following the FBI, “Fringe” intrigued many with its series premier in 2008.
