Mean Green or Scene Green?
Deck your monitors
with school spirit! Choose the awesome photography of two new UNT screensavers
to download onto your computer. Select Mean Green if you are fan enough
and Scene Green to celebrate campus icons. And because Insider readers
requested the screensavers, you are the first group to see them before
we launch these freebies to the community.

Back to the Big Easy
Growing
student enthusiasm erupted into full-blown UNT pride this fall. The
goalposts at the south end of Fouts Field were torn down and taken
to Fry Street, and later, pieces were seen in fraternity houses and
residence halls as the campus, the Denton community and all Mean
Green Eagles celebrated the clinching of back-to-back Sun Belt Conference
football championships. It’s back to the Big Easy -- get your New
Orleans Bowl tickets early!

Creative license (plates)
UNT
launched a highway beautification campaign to clean up the burnt orange,
maroon
and red and black collegiate license plates "polluting" Texas
highways. Here's your chance to help our state "green up" all
roads that lead to UNT. Best of all, showing your pride benefits students,
since $25 of the $30 specialty license plate fee goes to UNT scholarships.

Children's
books as holiday gifts
Have
you ever scratched your head when buying books appropriate for your
6-year-old son, your 10-year-old niece or your 13-year-old grandchild?
I’ve been a walking question mark in the children’s book section
on numerous occasions. Now, I check out a new UNT site that provides
children's book reviews -- written by librarians and even kids themselves.

Student
earns international recognition
Helen
Keller's The Story of My Life inspired Kaili Chen, a UNT graduate
student from China, to pursue a research interest that just earned
her a PEO International Peace Scholarship. Living in a country without
a strong special education system, Kaili was touched by the book's
message and began to translate it into Chinese. She came to UNT to
study emotional and behavioral disorders and plans to return to China
as a special education instructor.

Cool link: Texas Fashion Collection

you know that UNT is home to more than 14,000 top-designer vintage

Dallas. "Simply Black" is an exhibition of black evening
ensembles in honor of the store's 95th anniversary and will be on
