It's mean, it's green and it demands to be seen
Scrappy just got a makeover, making a meaner and greener statement
about North Texas pride. Soon you will be seeing the new Scrappy on university
merchandise. If you are like me and want a sneak preview for your wardrobe,
then grab some iron-on transfer paper from your local office supply store
and a white T-shirt, and click the link below.

Homecoming
2002: Blaze of Green Glory
During the first weekend in November, floats will parade around
Denton's historic square, tents will pop up in the Mean Green Village and
the excitement of football will be in the crisp autumn air. It's Homecoming
time. Join me and you will find yourself swing dancing to Big Daddy Alright,
getting your face painted, eating BBQ and cheering on the Mean Green as
the team plays the University of Louisiana-Monroe.

UNT + TI site = College of Engineering
We
did it! The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has given us a thumbs
up to establish a College of Engineering. Four coordinating board members
visited the former Texas Instruments site — now the UNT Research
Park — and agreed it was a fantastic space to launch the new college.
The search is on for a dean, and the first students will be admitted by
Fall 2003 — just a year from now.

Not your ordinary plastic
Did
you know that UNT is home to one of the top research labs in the world
that brings together an international team of the finest polymer scientists?
Polymers are plastics, and plastics improve our everyday world. UNT's
research may one day allow you to use metal spatulas on your Teflon-coated
cookware, adhere a prosthetic limb to your muscle tissue or create inner-eye
lenses to improve your vision.

Cool link: Rusty's trick
Did
you know that the online version of The North Texan has web extras?
A recent article, "Connecting people and pets," features an online video
clip that will make you howl. Watch it with your canine friend —
but only if you are prepared to initiate some friendly rivalry with your
Aggie friends. I'm already teaching my dog Zorro this neat trick.
