Memorable dorm dining
I didn't
realize UNT cafeteria food elicited fond memories in alumni, but why not?
UNT is the only university I know where a food item inspired a tradition.
After the first issue of Insider published the recipe to Union
Coffee Cake, two of you wrote in requesting
desserts you remembered from Bruce and Clark halls: Banana Split Torte
and Gypsy Coffee Cake. Enjoy them this Thanksgiving.

Dust off your instruments
If you
have ever wondered what you can do with your old band instruments, consider
donating them to Start-up the Band, an outreach program of the College
of Music. Professors and students collect and refurbish used instruments
and place them in the hands of Denton's low-income elementary-school children,
along with music lessons, so they can afford to be part of a school band
when they enter the sixth grade.

Insurance made easy
If you,
like me, shove your incomprehensible home insurance policies in a drawer,
wishing they were clearer than mud, then check out a new web site of the
UNT Financial Services Center in the College of Business Administration.
Created by two UNT students, the site answers consumer questions in simple
language about mold, preventing loss, saving money and coverage options.

Unscrambling eggs
I find
it fascinating that a one-and-a-half-pound emu egg gives UNT biologists
a glimpse into how the heart develops before birth. Studying animal embryos
with hearts similar to those of humans ultimately may help correct human
heart defects. EGGS, or the Environmental and Genetic Growth Sciences,
which UNT initiated, is a global network of scientists that researches
heart development. www.unt.edu/resource/secretsofheart.htm

Rendezvous
in Mexico
Just
the two of you and five nights on a Mexican cruise. Sound like a dream
vacation? Then take your chances with the annual North Texas Exes Scholarship
Raffle. Other prizes include UNT season tickets, alumni wear and North
Texas watches. You can print raffle tickets from the Exes' home page,
but while you're there, check out where your fellow alums are partying
during chapter events.

Cool link: Ned's Turkey Farm
Did
you know that in 1993 UNT became the first university in the nation to
offer a curriculum in computer game programming? Ned's Turkey Farm
is a basic, introductory teaching model for UNT students, some who have
gone on to help create games such as Everquest II. (Note: To play Ned's Turkey
Farm, you will need at least Windows 95, Microsoft
DirectX 7.0 and WinZip.)
