By a margin of only 30 votes, Blake Windham and running mate Edwin Chavez won this week’s run-off elec-tion for Student Government Association president and vice president.
Three percent of UNT st udent s voted i n t he run-off election held from Monday to Wednesday. Windham, a biology senior, and Chavez, a mechanical engineering junior, came out on top with 702 votes. Kellie Hil l, a marketing junior, and running mate Monica Saunders, a business junior, received 672 votes. Windham and Chavez begin their one-year term in office June 1.
“Since it’s a close margin, I know there are some students that obviously don’t support us,” Windham said.
“Now, we’re leading those students, so we have to keep in mind their wishes.”
Windham said he was upset by the low turnout for the election. He said one of the top priorities in his administration would be getting more students involved in the SGA.
“I’m saddened by the low voter turnout,” Windham sa id. “We wa nt to see greater participation. [The low turnout] means we’ve failed as an organization and haven’t gotten the word out.”
Chavez agreed that the SGA needs to promote itself more and, as vice president, said he will work to make the organization more visible.
“A lot of people don’t know [about] the SGA — it shows in the voter turnout,” Chavez said.

High gas pr ices across the country are expected to continue climbing as the spring semester ends and summer begins.
The lowest gas price in Denton on Thursday was $3.69 at Murphy USA, Circle K and Allsups Convenience Store near Lake Dallas, according to gas tracking websites.
“Fuel prices are going to go up as we get to the middle of the summer,” said Terry Pohlen of the business faculty. “We are reaching the peak of fuel demand.”
Pohlen said the high price and demand of gas would affect the market of everyday mate-rials because 80 percent of all commodities are transported by truck.
“Virtually everything you buy will go up in price,” he said.
In the U.S., there are over 600,000 trucking companies, most with only one or two trucks, Pohlen said.
“These are very small compa-nies,” he said, who explained that it takes 200 to 300 gallons of fuel to fill up most tractor-trailers. “[The high prices] are going to force a lot of small trucking companies out of busi-ness,”
Pohlen also said it’s difficult for trucking businesses to get loans because of how easy it is for them to go out of business.
Not only will the gas crisis take a wealth of jobs, it is going to cause shipping problems.
“This is a supply-and-de-mand issue,” Pohlen said. “The cost to move goes up and so does the gas.”
And shipping companies are already trying to cut the costs of moving goods.
“Labor costs in China are good, but shipping is expen-sive,” Pohlen said. “We are starting to see labor shifts to South America.”
Poh len sa id w it h t he increase of global economies in China and India, there was an increase in demand for oil
and gas.“Ou r economy is a lso
growing out of the recession,” Pohlen said. “We need more fuel, too.”
Pohlen said instability in the Middle East has greatly affected gas prices.
Local gas stations have felt the impact of the gas issues as summer inches closer.
“People just are not driving as much,” said Darrell Patterson, the site manager of an Exxon gas station in Denton. “We’ve seen a single-digit drop in sales.”

Getting a Texas college education seems to be all the rage as more and more out-of-state students are being admitted to Texas public universities. But while their numbers have risen during the years, the admission rate of college-bound Texans has not kept up, and some fear in-state students are being shoved aside.
U N T i s p o s i t i o n e d among the University of Texas, University of Texas at Arlington, Texas Tech University and at least two-thirds of all state universities whose admittance of out-of-state students has outpaced that of Texas students, some-times by more than twice as much. Undergraduate enroll-ment by Texas students at UNT rose 7 percent between
2006 and 2010, while out-of-state enrollment grew by 12 percent.
“I don’t think there will be more competition,” said Rebecca Lothringer, UNT’s director of undergraduate admissions. “North Texas has always been set up to serve the students of Texas.”
With no current enrollment cap, UNT has been able to admit any student who meets the requirements whether they live in Texas or not. So as more out-of-state students apply, more will be admitted, until 2015 when UNT caps its enrollment.
Gr ow i n g out- of-s t at e enrollment in Texas is a result of some universities’ desire to cultivate accredited research programs and improve campus diversity.

Two UNT faculty members were recognized for their outstanding teaching at the spring faculty meeting and awards ceremony Thursday afternoon in the Lyceum.
Fang-Ling Lu of the speech and hearing faculty, and Donna Ledgerwood of the manage-ment faculty were awarded the President’s Council Teaching Award. This was Ledgerwood’s third time receiving this award, she said.
“I am the only one to my knowledge that has done that. It’s not only the first time for someone to win it three times, it’s the first time in two centu-ries and two millenniums,” joked Ledgerwood, “which makes me sound really old.”
Ledgerwood has been teaching at UNT since 1978, and she said this is her calling.
“I really do care for my students, and I am very, very happy with my job,” she said. “I like applied research, and I really enjoy the students.”
She said students are given three shots to do well on their tests: one when they study, one when they take the test and one they go back over the test and correct their answers to receive half a point back for each ques-tion.
“My tests are harder, but I’m really not thought of as being unfair because they’re really learning for themselves,” Ledgerwood said.
Chalesia Johnson, an orga-ni zat iona l behav ior a nd human resources senior, said
she is in Ledgerwood’s human resource capstone class and said Ledgerwood is “one of the most memorable professors” she has had.
“She’s more caring, more dedi-cated, and she wants us to get a job right out of college,” Johnson said. “She’s committed to her students. I think that’s one of her best aspects as a professor.”
Lu has been teaching classes in medical speech pathology at UNT since 1997 and this is her first time receiving the award, she said.
“This is a very clinical-oriented field so my specialty is more to do with medical, so I teach a lot of voice, speech, swallowing, and we use a lot of gadgets,” Lu said.

Windham said one of his first priorities upon taking office will be to update the SGA’s website, because some infor-mation is outdated and not readily available to students.
Hill said she was disap-pointed she didn’t win the elec-tion, but is satisfied with the work both she and Saunders put into campaigning.
“We both ran strong, we both gave it all we’ve got,” Hill said. “This is what the students wanted.”
Hill said she plans to stay actively involved in SGA in the coming semester.
Edwin Oghakpor, a music junior, was among the students who voted in the election. He said he voted for Hill and Saunders because he has worked with them in other organizations and felt like they would be the best candi-dates. Oghakpor said he was let down Hill didn’t win but was impressed by the way she reacted to the results.
“She had a good attitude
about it,” he said. “I respect that. I know it was hard to run.”
Oghakpor said he has also worked with Windham and Chavez in different organiza-tions and said he will support the incoming administra-tion.
The SGA senate is expected to tackle a number of contro-versial issues at the beginning of the fall semester, including a bill that would reform the homecoming court voting process to allow either indi-viduals or same-sex couples to run.
Windham has come under fire for his opposition to the reform but said he will not let his personal opinions inter-fere with his judgment while in office.
“Of course, I have my personal views, but the presi-dent serves to facilitate ideas,” Windham said. “I do not support homecoming reform personally, but on a political level, if that’s what the students support, then I can’t exactly tell them that they’re wrong.”
New administrationtakes office in June
Patterson said there has been about 3 percent less fuel sold recently, and hopes of it getting better are grim.
“If the gas prices increase, then the volume of sales will go down,” he said.
As the price increases, he said consumers find ways to get around high gas prices.
“People are cutting back on the amount of driving they do,” Patterson said.
Pre-radio, television and film freshman Davis Blackmon chooses to ride his long board instead of driving.
“I don’t drive because I refuse to pay for gas,” he said.
However, when summer comes, he said he will have to drive again.
“I think once the prices reach about $4, people are going to stop driving as much, like they did a few years ago,” Blackmon said.
History sophomore Matt Nolan said he tried to ease the pain of paying for gas by carpooling to work every day.
“I drive about 20 minutes Monday through Friday to get to work,” Nolan said. “I work with one of my best friends, so it just makes sense to carpool.”
Few cite higher tuition rates paid by out-of-state students as a reason for the upsurge, but it is a fact that these students pay more than their in-state peers — three times more at UNT.
L ot h r i nger at t r ibute s UNT’s out-of-state admis-sions growth to the univer-sity’s increased recruiting efforts aimed at research-minded students. UNT’s engineering program is one of the primary destinations for students coming from abroad, she said. Others are signing up for the College of Music, which is one of the most competitive schools in the nation.
Competition for spots in the state’s premier college programs has some worried that Texas students will fall short to more qualified out-of-state students, even if they have similar credentia ls. Without an enrollment cap, students applying for spots in colleges other than engi-neering and music have little to worry about. However, admittance may be tougher for Texas students come 2015, when UNT is set to reach full
capacity.“We will be able to be more
competitive or more selective in the caliber of students that are being admitted to North Texas. I imagine we will have an admissions requirement change,” Lothringer said.
A more immediate concern for Texas students could be the state of their financial aid next school year. Some of the major public funding sources for Texas students have been under the scru-tiny of state legislators who are look ing to close t he mounting budget deficit. The Texas Grant program, which supports thousands of the state’s students, may be cut entirely.
“It is going to hurt the students and UNT and the other state schools in Texas if that money goes away,” Lothringer said. “It was a huge recruitment tool for Texas students, for our Texas public institutions including UNT.”
Without such recruiting tools, Texas universities may have less to offer to their in-state students, and Texas students will have a harder time attending school in their own state.
She said because the subject is clinical she makes her teaching very applicable by bringing in patients, cases and history.
“I put my heart into it, but also for the teaching part, I always kind of imagine myself as a student and how I want to learn and how I learn the best,” she said.
Priya Das, a speech language pathology graduate student, said she has had Lu as a professor for two semesters.
“Anytime I have a question, I can go into her office and she will sit there and explain the material to me until I completely understand it,” she said.
Das said Lu cares about her students.
“She was down the hall and I was coughing my lungs out, and she came in here with a cup of this honey-lemon concoction that she made and brought it for me and told me to drink it,” she said. “She goes above and beyond what it means to be a professor.”
Each of the recipients were awarded a plaque and $3,000 to use toward teaching or schol-arly activities, said Meredith Blair, UNT’s director of annual giving.
The award, funded by the President’s Council, is given every year to faculty members who have shown “outstanding teaching” for a f ive-yea r period.
Professors earn award

Every Monday around 7:30 p.m., the sound of metal on metal rings throughout North Lakes Park as armored combat warriors from the Medieval Ages go mano e mano.
Members of The Canton of Glaslyn, a local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, or SCA, meet once a week to recreate the culture of pre-17th-century Europe to practice and critique their fighting skills.
“You can either watch Brave Heart or you can live it,” said Doug Turnage, a member of the group and a recycling coordinator for UNT. “Your adrenaline will get moving when you’re in the middle of a fight.”
General studies senior and group member James Phillips said he was drawn to the group because of the un-choreographed fights and the amount of strategy involved.
“They fight with swords made out of bamboo called rattan, which is wrapped in fiber and duct tape, and homemade armor made out of leather or steel,” he said.
The National Society for Creative Anachronism is different from the Scarborough Renaissance Festival because it’s a nonprofit organization with the simple goal of having fun.
“It’s a great way to experience the renaissance festival year-
round,” said Justin John, a busi-ness junior.
The National Society for Creative Anachronism consists of 19 kingdoms with over 30,000 members in countries around the world, according to its website.
“Ages and gender almost play no meaning in the Society,” Phillips said.
The sport is typically viewed as masculine, but now there is something for everyone, including dancing, cooking and making medieval armor, he said.
Women fight, but spend most of their time partaking in the other activities offered by the organi-zation, said Melinda Turnage, Doug’s wife and member of the organization.
Long hours spent training and traveling, combined with expenses for gas and armor, make for a costly and time-consuming hobby, said Doug Turnage.
“Some people ride motorcycles for excitement, some ski, some sky dive — this is what I do,” he said.
Membership and equipment is not required. However, a year’s membership cost $45, which includes a Kingdom newsletter subscription.
Members pay lower entry fees to events and some kingdoms require membership to partici-pate in certain activities.
For more information, search for “The Canton of Glaslyn” on Facebook.

As the spring semester comes to a close and Mean Green teams try to win their Sun Belt Conference Tournaments, a potentially eventful fall awaits UNT Athletics.
Following a spring season that included its fair share of ups and downs, the Mean Green faithful have plenty to look forward to next semester.
It may be months away, but taking a look at some of the Mean Green teams competing next semester shows positive signs for an athletic department that has come a long way in the last decade.
Soccer should succeedThere were flashes of greatness
for Mean Green soccer in 2010, but the year ended in disappoint-ment, when the team lost to an inferior Western Kentucky team in the first round of the Sun Belt Tournament.
The Mean Green led the Sun Belt in scoring and had at least five of its players notch at least 10 points. Luckily, each of these players is returning in 2011. With 14 upper classmen on the roster and a coach who has notched a winning record in 15 straight seasons, the UNT soccer team is in prime position to contend.
Football moving forwardIt’s unrealistic to expect a
team that won three games to come back the next season with a conference title. That being said, Mean Green football has an excel-lent chance to win at least five games this season.
UNT has one of the best offen-sive players in the nation in senior running back Lance Dunbar and
a coaching staff that has enough expe-rience to know how to win.
R e d s h i r t D e r r i c k Thompson has a high football IQ and enough ability to lead the Mean Green offense to a handful of wins.
On the defensive side, head coach Dan McCarney has made playing better defense a priority and the team bought into his philosophy in the spring.
Winning a conference title isn’t in the cards for UNT this season, but expect the team’s new stadium to be accompanied with five to seven wins in 2011.
Bright future for basketballYou won’t see action in the
Super Pit until mid-November, but this season should have more excitement and anticipa-tion surrounding it than any other in Mean Green history. UNT is bringing in the No. 31 recruiting class in the country and two transfers who will contribute.
The group will be led by freshman forward Tony Mitchell, who was ranked as the No. 12 player in the country by Rivals.com. This type of incoming class has never been seen for any Mean Green team, and if the players can grow up fast and gel, it could be back competing for the Sun Belt Title.
The bottom line is that the best class in UNT basketball’s history will be coming in the fall to work with a qualified coach.
There haven’t been any confer-ence titles in the spring for UNT, but when looking to the teams it has ready to play in the fall, it’s clear that the best is yet to come.

The UNT softball team will play three of its f inal four home games this weekend, as it attempts to fight its way out of the Sun Belt Conference basement, against Troy at Lovelace Stadium.
UNT (20-28, 6-15) fell into ninth and last place in the conference after losing two of three games to South Alabama last weekend, and is currently
one game behind the eighth spot. Only the top eight teams in the conference will play in the Sun Belt Conference Tourna ment, which sta rts May 11.
“We have a lot on Troy. We know everything they have, so we’re going to be well-prepared for them this weekend,” said junior second basemen Lisa Johnson. “We just have to come in this weekend and just

go all out, you know. We have to take these three games.”
The Mean Green has to two of three games in this ser ies, its last conference games of the season, and have Middle Tennessee lose two of its remaining games to stay alive for the conference tour-nament. The team has won just one conference series all season.
The matchup w i l l sta r t w it h a doubleheader at 2 p.m. Saturday and conclude with the final game at noon Sunday.
P i t c h e r s s o p h o m o r e B r i t t a n y S i m m o n s a n d redshir t f reshma n A sh ley Kirk will likely get all three starts for the Mean Green this
weekend. Kirk can break the UNT single-season strikeout record of 146 by retiring three batters.
“I def i n itely t h i n k t he pitchers have to step up and just do what they’re supposed to do to keep us in the ball game,” said head coach T.J. Hubbard.
The Trojans (28-23, 9-10) will likely bring senior pitcher Ashlyn Williams to the pitch-
er’s circle. The UNT seniors, who will be honored Sunday before the final game of the series, have faced Williams each year of their collegiate careers.
“With her, you really just have to swing at the good pitches,” said senior f irst
baseman Mallory Cantler. “You just have to really be patient and make sure she throws a good pitch in the [strike] zone that you can get all over.”
Cantler can become the career hits leader at UNT with 223 hits.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.
The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.
The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

Poly Styrene, the singer of the first-wave punk rock band X-Ray Spex, passed away Monday after battling breast cancer.
Styrene was born Marianne Elliot-Said in 1957 in Kent, England. At 15 years old, she ran away from home to travel between various music festivals in the UK. In 1975, she started X-Ray Spex after seeing the Sex Pistols play a show on her birthday.
As the band’s frontwoman, Styrene was known for her eclectic stage presence and her loud, bran-dish singing. The band released their first single, “Bondage Up Yours,” in 1977, which gained popu-larity among the emerging punk rock music scene.
The band stuck out for having a female singer and a saxophone player, giving them a distinct, abrasive sound among their peer bands such as the Damned and
the Buzzcocks. In 1978, the group released their first and only album, “Germ Free Adolescent,” which reached No. 30 on the UK Album’s Chart. The band’s music inspired other females in the punk rock movement and particularly the “riot grrrl” bands of the early-‘90s.
After the band broke up in mid-1979, Styrene began a solo music career and released her album, “Translucence,” in 1980.
In 1983, Styrene joined the Hare Krishna movement and lived in a temple for several years. Even after leaving the temple, she continued to live a spiritual life.
Earlier this year, Styrene was diagnosed with breast cancer before the release of her third solo album, “Generation Indigo,” and according to her Twitter feed, she was deter-mined to fight it. She also said she wanted to be known for her spiritu-ality more than her punk-rock fame. She is survived by her daughter, Celeste Bell-Dos Santos.

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All – Odd Future for short – a group of young rappers from Los Angeles, Calif. The group has gotten nods from music lovers of various camps worldwide. The core group consists of six rappers between the ages of 17 and 23 — Tyler the Creator, Hodgy Beats, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Mike G and Frank Ocean.
The group’s sophomore release, titled “Radical,” came out last spring and continues to get raving reviews from critics in the press and all over the blogosphere. The album is a mix of rough-edged tunes and funky fresh jives with music that is above average contemporary rap.
The album’s most popular song, “Orange Juice,” is a testament to the group’s attitude toward their huge success in the hip-hop game. The song starts out with an inten-tionally basic and repetitive two-note piano tune, which sounds like it’s being played by someone who enjoys aggressively pounding the keyboard.
A deep bass rhythm follows and Earl Sweatshirt starts the first verse,

proudly asking “So I’m guessin’ there’s questions that need adressin’, huh? Like how we’re fresh adolescents and wreckin’ ‘em.”
What really makes the group distinct is the variety of each member’s rapping style, which ranges from Tyler the Creator’s juvenile vulgarity to the slightly more serious and affirmative tone of Domo Genesis.
For some, the group’s lyrical content may be somewhat over the top or even extremely offen-sive. The group drops more than their fair share of curse words, making even the most open-minded person cringe. However, for others, their lyrics may seem
comedic and even refreshing. After all, such language is nothing new to in the world of hip-hop.
Perhaps what’s more intriguing about Odd Future is the growing cult status among various social media websites. Each member has his own Twitter page where they can be seen going about their daily lives with their “swag.”
The group’s online hype is well deserved, as they provide a fresh take on New Age hip-hop, setting the standard quite high for the genre. They may have even changed the rap game forever. For those who believe hip-hop died years ago, listen to what Odd Future has to offer, and brace yourself to be proven wrong.

Jazz musicians from all over the country are packing up their brass, string and percussion instruments and heading to Denton for the 31st annual Arts and Jazz Festival.
The free event takes place today through Sunday at the city’s 20-acre Quakertown Park.
“Last year I went and it was beautiful outside,” said A lex Blanks, a criminal justice junior. “The breeze was blowing and the sun was shining. I just felt so relaxed sitting with my friends and listening to cool jazz music playing in the background.”
An estimated 200,000 people are expected to attend this year’s festival.
“People come from out of town, state, everywhere,” said Carol Short, the festival’s founder and
executive director. “It’s the largest event of its kind in North Texas, and it makes a great significant economic impact for the city of Denton.”
With a 45-member standing committee and more than 300 volunteers, the festival takes around 18 months to plan.
Since the festival is free to attend, $500,000 must be raised through grants and soliciting major sponsors, Short said.
PerformancesMore than 2,200 performers are
expected to showcase their talent at this year, according to the festi-val’s website.
Bands perform by invitation only, and performers, headliners and other acts differ every year, Short said.
“It can range from a 3-year-old dancing to an 85-year-old playing

saxophone,” she said. D a v i d G o d i n e z , a n a r t
freshman, will perform at 7 p.m. today on the UNT Showcase Stage with Mariachi Aguilas de UNT.
“It feels great to give people a chance to listen to that style of music,” Godinez said. “It also gives us a chance to show what mariachi is like and show them not to believe the stereotypes.”
The UNT Showcase Stage is one of seven stages that will feature performers.
This is the second year UNT
has had a stage at the festival. “We got the best of the College
of Music and it worked out great,” Short said.
One of this year’s returning acts is a local folk band called Brave Combo.
“I liked Brave Combo,” said Terrence Brown, a music perfor-mance senior. “I liked dancing to their music.”
Brow n performed last year with UNT’s Jazz Singers I, and will perform Sunday with Jazz Singers II.

5“The festival brings out Denton
citizens,” Brown said. “They can come enjoy music and see many performers from [Dallas-Fort Worth] that they normally wouldn’t.”
Arts and craftsThe festival’s fine arts and crafts
show will highlight 175 artists who will sell their creations.
Artists will come from places such as including Maine, Oregon, New Mexico and Iowa, and will feature a variety of works such as stained glass, photography and sculptures, Short said.
One of the goals of the festival, she said, is to provide artists and performers with an opportunity to perform and sell their art.
“We want to inspire young people,” she said. “Maybe expose people to some kind of art or some kind of performance that they’ve never seen before, and I think it all works together that way.”
FoodThe festival will provide six food
courts and contain a variety of options.
Typical festival food items such as corn dogs and funnel cakes will be offered in addition to Greek, Mexican and Hawaiian dishes. Vegetarian options will also be available.
“It’s great music and really good food,” Brown said. “It was beautiful weather, and I like the camaraderie we built with people enjoying the music.”
The festival always attracts a large number of college students, Short said.
“I think it’s a place that they
can come. They can be with their friends,
they can meet new people, they can find out really what our commu-nity’s about instead of just on the
college campus,” she said.A l e j a n d r o P a l m a , w h o

“It’s a wonderful experience and is full of tradition,” he said. “That’s all you really need in life is good food and good music.” Vendors get ready for the Arts and Jazz Festival by setting up their tents. The festival starts at 5 p.m. today in Quakertown Park.

With summer just around the corner, many students are looking for something fun to do to help them unwind after a long semester. Road trip anyone?
Here are a few tips to planning the perfect summer road trip.
Money
The first step is deciding how much you and your friends are willing to spend. This key point will help determine where you can go, how long you can go and
For students wanting to make a difference this summer, volunteer services are looking for people to contribute to their upcoming projects. There are hundreds of oppor-tunities for students to spend the summer giving back, said Amy Simon, the director of the UNT Center for Leadership and Service. “So many people and orga-nizations need help desperately in the summer,” Simon said. Shera Gary, a pre-fashion design freshman, plans to volun-teer in Sudan for two months with the group Nehemiah Teams to help underprivileged women by teaching them to sew and doing art therapy with orphans. “I’m a fashion design major, and I really want do more than just make other people look cute,” said Gary. “I want my sewing to help people.” The trip also gives her a chance

to connect with women different from her and help them try to better their situation, Gary said. “I wa nt to show t hese w o m e n t h a t t h e y h a v e purpose and value,” she said. For students who aren’t able to volunteer across the globe, there are many opportunities close to home, Simon said.
Some opportunities include Habitat for Humanity or Camp Summit, a camp for people w it h phy sic a l ch a l lenge s. “It doesn’t take a lot of time to volunteer, and people can fit it in based on their schedule,” Simon said. “Volunteering is a good way to gain experience, and get connected to the community and friends.” Megan Randle, an interdis-ciplinary studies junior, spent her spring break volunteering at Camp Summit. She and other volunteers helped campers on zip lines and nature walks, and
focused on having fun, she said. Randle said she would definitely volunteer again, as the experience changed her perspective on things. “You see how much you take things for granted,” she said. “You get to see their enjoy-ment just in the small things.” Other opportunities include volunteering at nursing homes, domestic violence shelters, envi-ronmental projects and soup kitchens, Simon said. Agencies contact the Center for Leadership and Service, and then students apply to the organization they want to get involved w ith. “Basically you name it, and that organization is there,” Simon said. Volu nte er c om m it ment s can be all summer full-time, or just for an hour or two a week at a local school, Simon said. “Everybody can make a differ-ence, and I believe it’s a responsi-bility to give back,” she said.
How to plan the perfect summer road tripOpinion what you can do.
Luckily, besides the cost of gas, road trips can be cheap. If you and your friends are pretty low maintenance, camping at state parks along the way can save a lot of money. Many state parks charge less than $20 a night for walk-ins.
For g roup ex pen se s l i ke lodging, gas and some meals, I recommend setting an amount everyone must contribute. Pool this money at the beginning of the trip so no one feels like they are paying more than someone else. If there is money left over at the end of the trip, split it evenly.
LocationSince Texas is bordered by so
many states, you can get the feel of an adventurous road trip without the immense cost.
For example, you could head up to Oklahoma and do a short trip around the state. Oklahoma City is about three hours from Denton. Using gasbuddy.com (which can also help you find the cheapest gas near
you), I found out my car could get to Oklahoma City for just $23. Oklahoma City also offers free outdoor twilight concerts every Sunday at the Myriad Botanical Gardens.
Going to free events and camping along the way can make this trip fun and inexpensive.
Check listOnce you have decided how much
you are willing to spend and where you want to go, it is time to focus on the details.
In terms of the car, it is a good idea to get it inspected before you leave.
Have a variety of music choices to appeal to everyone in the car, and a first aid kit just in case. Also, little things like bringing your own snacks and drinks can save you a lot of money at those quick gas station stops.
The Bottom LineThe No. 1 tip for planning the
perfect road trip is just making up your mind to be flexible and enjoy the little things. After all, you’re not going to remember how much sleep you got or how much you spent on gas.
What you will remember are the places you see, the people you meet and the memories you make with your friends.

Aside from bringing rain, another season that blossoms in April is craw-fish season. A laid-back seafood restaurant off University Drive named Frilly’s is sure to satisfy the craving.
Pulling up to the building, you notice the brick structure, tin roof and wooden wrap-around porch with picnic-table seating.
No need to wait for seating in this restaurant — you can choose to sit in view of a flat screen to enjoy a sports game or a booth to enjoy your company.
Once seated, the exposed brick and wood-trimmed walls fool you into thinking you’re right on the coast.
Taking in the fresh air, you notice

the spotless details. Even after customers leave their table, it’s clean within minutes.
Frilly’s has everything from gumbo, fresh fish, fish tacos, Cajun dishes and fried seafood to pasta, chicken, po-boys and salads.
The side choices will satisfy any Cajun appetite with jalapeno cheddar cornbread, coleslaw, red beans and rice, and hush puppies.
As an appetizer, a half order of fried pickles for $2.99 serves two people comfortably, leaving plenty of room for the meal.
The thin and extra-crispy pickles come out nice and hot, but not greasy like most places that serve them.
Washing them down with Frilly’s super sweet tea will please any Southerner.
Before you can finish the appe-tizer, expect the food to come out hot, within about 10 minutes of ordering.
Both the craw fish etouffee and the grilled shrimp linguini come in large portions but are a bit expensive.
The etouffee costs $12.95 for the dinner and $8.95
for the lunch portion, and is served hot with a load of fairly small craw-fish that are not too spicy.
The dish is accompanied with dirty rice. The rice has corn and ground beef mixed in and came out a bit dry, although it tasted fine once mixed together with every-thing.
The grilled shrimp linguini comes with about seven char-grilled shrimp, and costs $13.95 for the dinner and $9.95 for the lunch special. The pasta is bland on its own, but the jumbo grilled shrimp unites the flavors.
If you’re missing the coast or craving seafood, this place will surely satisfy. Just make sure to bring your wallet because you can expect to pay about $20 for an entrée, appetizer and beverage for one person.
[ ]College Kids Cooking Simple, soft peanut butter cookies
By Laura Zamora/ Assigning Editor
Peanut butter cookies are always scrumptious, but the countless ingredients, time and cost turn college students away from creating these multi-dozen delights.
Any cookie made from scratch requires several ingredients, such as baking soda, salt aand flour, but popular baked good companies now offer alternative ways to bake a batch with their products. This peanut butter cookie recipe, cour-tesy of Betty Crocker’s “Cookies” recipe book, skips several steps by simply requiring a box of cake mix as a substitute for all the dry ingre-dients. Not only does it save money, but also time spent and dishes to wash
The recipe makes three to four dozen soft, chewy cookies that are perfect with a glass of milk.
What you’ll need: 1 box of Betty Crocker’s yellow cake mix (with pudding in the mix) 1/3 cup water 1 cup creamy peanut butter 2 eggs 4 tablespoons sugar
Directions:Heat your oven to 375 degrees
Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix half of the cake mix (dry), the water, the peanut butter and eggs with an elec-tric mixer. Mix on medium speed until smooth.
Gradually stir in the rest of the cake mix with a mixing spoon. Don’t
be alarmed if the dough becomes stiff and tough to stir.
Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray and drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart. Dip a fork in the bowl of sugar and make a criss-cross pattern on each cookie, dipping the fork back in the sugar bowl after every one.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Then remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with a glass of milk. Enjoy!

Frightmare to celebrate horror

The Texas Frightmare Weekend takes place today through Sunday. Part of the weekend will include a celebrity question-and-answer panel with actors from the movie “SAW.”
By Marlene GonzalezIntern
It doesn’t need to be Halloween to watch horror movies and experi-ence the thrill of death and terror — at least not in Texas. The 6th annual Texas Frightmare Weekend, a cele-bration of horror movies, will take place at the Sheraton Grand Hotel today until Sunday.
Daniel Nix, a radio, television and film sophomore, said he looks forward to the question-and-answer panel and film screenings.
“I’m a huge fan of horror movies, and I just enjoy getting to go meet my favorite filmmakers and actors,” Nix said. “I really look forward to seeing and meeting Roger Corman. He’s one of my biggest influences as a film student.”
Nix said this will be his fourth year attending the event, and he usually gets good feedback from movie direc-tors.
Loyd Cryer, the founder and creator of Texas Frightmare, said he felt there was a need for one in the area.
“The haunting industry is huge in Texas,” he said.
Although to some it might seem strange to celebrate horror and zombies in April instead of October, Cryer said it seemed like the right time to him.
“October is so full of Halloween. There’s so much going on at that time
of the month and you really miss out on some opportunities,” he said.
One of the most popular events during this celebration is the mile-long zombie walk, Cryer said. People from Moxley Manor Haunted House will help attendees zombie up.
They will begin applying zombie make-up at 8 a.m. then start walking at 10:15 a.m. This activity is open to anyone, said Richard Alvarado, the owner of Moxley Manor.
“It’s mainly just been a classic. The undead have just been some-thing people have been intrigued by. There’s a huge following for it,” Alvarado said.
The zombie walk will take place on Saturday, and about 400 people participated in last year’s walk.
Celebrities such as Cary Elwes, Shawnee Smith and Costas Mandylor from the movie “SAW” will partici-pate in a question-and-answer panel and sign autographs.
Robert Englund, the man who originally played Freddy Krueger, will be there as well.
Directors Clive Barker and Roger Corman will answer questions as well, according to the event’s website.
A new addition this year will be karaoke night, said Cryer. Tickets are $30 per day, and $75 for all three days.
