Officia ls at Texas A&M University say the school is safe and no danger was present after a report of a gunman on campus turned out to be student with a replica weapon, according to a CNN article.
A c a mpu s-w ide lock-down began at 4 p.m. after a campus bus driver reported he noticed an individual with what looked like an AK-47. Students and faculty were told to remain indoors, according to the article.
Brittany Powell, a Texas A&M accounting sophomore,
saw the student pass by with what looked like an AK-47 on his shoulder.
“He was just so casual w it h it,” Powel l sa id. “I didn’t feel like something was too terrible wrong. He was walking in Rudder Tower in a direction away from campus.”

The “going green” efforts at UNT have not gone unno-ticed, as a national organiza-tion’s newly released report shows.
T h e S u s t a i n a b l e Endowments Institute, a nonprof it orga ni zat ion, released its fifth annual College Sustainability Report Card on Wednesday, which evaluated and graded 322 participating institutions of higher education to determine how green they are.
“We made a $700 donation to their nonprofit organiza-tion and then they sent us the specific surveys to fill out this past summer,” said Erin Davis, assistant to the director in the Office of Sustainability.
UNT’s overall grade of a B- was averaged from nine indi-vidually graded areas: admin-istration, climate change and energy, food and recy-cling, green building, student involvement, transportation, endowment transparency, investment priorities, and shareholder engagement.
The highest rating of any Texas university was a B+. The lowest ratings went to Texas Tech and Abilene Christian universities, scoring a C- and D+, respectively.
Nationally, 181 schools scored higher than UNT. Eight schools received grades above an A-.
Rating effortsThe Office of Sustainability
works to incorporate every aspect of campus life to improve economic sustain-ability, said Lauren Helixon, a graduate research assistant

When the UNT football team wrapped up its practice on Tuesday, celebration ran amok on the practice field before the team surrounded interim head coach Mike Canales. The Mean Green did not look like a team that has lost six of its first seven games, a slew of players to inju-ries and is facing a surprisingly tough game on Saturday against Western Kentucky. It looked as if the team was having fun despite all the problems it has faced so far this year.
“That’s what it’s all about,” sophomore running back Lance Dunbar said. “You got to have fun. We’ve been through hard times. That’s the only way to get over them, is to laugh about some of the stuff.”
The game is not just another battle for position in the Sun Belt Conference, as Canales will make his head-coaching debut on Saturday against WKU (1-6, 1-2). Before joining the Mean Green coaching staff over the summer, Canales was the offensive coor-dinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of South Florida. Canales will take over a squad that has struggled so far this season.
“I’m excited for the opportu-nity,” Canales said. “It’s something I’ve dreamed for and prepared for over the last 25 years of my coaching career.”
UNT (1-6, 1-3) will receive some
assistance this weekend, as it will get three significant players back from the Green Plague. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Riley Dodge will be the starter against the Hilltoppers after suffering a broken wrist against Louisiana-Lafayette. Receivers Tyler Stradford and Benny Jones also return.
Riley Dodge will not be playing under his father, Todd Dodge, for the first time in his collegiate career. Todd Dodge, who also coached his son at Southlake Carroll High School, was relieved of head coaching duties on Oct. 20, leaving control of the team in Canales’ hands for the rest of the season.
“We need to make sure we put our arm around him and tell him, ‘Look, we’re with you. You’re in our family,’” Canales said regarding Riley Dodge.
The game will feature a battle between the top tailbacks in the conference, WKU’s Bobby Rainey , who is 11th in the nation with 119.7 yards per game, and Dunbar.
Canales said that in order to win, the Mean Green will need to stop Rainey and force the Hilltoppers to become a one-dimensional offense. Dunbar said he wants to end the year as the top running back in the conference, as anything less than first would be a regression from his phenom-enal sophomore year.
“[Last year] I performed better,” Dunbar said. “We performed as
a team better. I just have to keep fighting, keep being patient. It’s going to come to me sooner or later.”
The Mean Green will try to shut down WKU’s offense, which posted 54 points against Louisiana-Lafayette last week. WKU quarterback Kawaun Jakes was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week for his performance against the Ragin’ Cajuns.
UNT has had a tough time starting games well on the defensive side of the ball, as all seven opponents have scored a touchdown on its opening drive. The Mean Green is allowing an average of 19.5 points in the first half alone. Whoever the head coach is, junior defensive end Brandon Akpunku believes UNT has the desire to come away with the victory.
“You can get President Obama here, or George Bush or Bill Clinton out here, and we still come out here and ball hard because you have guys out here with a passion for the sport,” Akpunku said.
Senior linebacker Craig Robertson is five tackles shy of becoming one of the top five tack-lers in school history. Dunbar needs just 89 yards to reach the top five all-time rushers in Mean Green history.
Kick-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. and can be heard on KNTU-FM, 88.1, and KWRD-FM, 100.7.

Institute gives UNT B-
in the office.“Our goal is to link all these
factors together,” said Helixon, a philosophy and religion studies graduate student.
The Office of Sustainability will release a Climate Action Plan soon, she said. The plan will outline stringent goals and proj-ects to help UNT achieve its ulti-mate goal of carbon neutrality by the year 2040.
“Once we reach that mile-stone, things will just continue onward to make the campus better,” she said.
With the release of the grades, people can see where the univer-sity stacks up in comparison with other schools.
But the grading system isn’t perfect, Davis said, because there is no way to gauge a university’s efforts if it doesn’t sign up.
Outreach and researchOne of the areas that the
Office of Sustainability works to promote is environmental research, Helixon said.
Duane Huggett of the biolog-ical sciences faculty said the goal is to coordinate and foster
research, something the Office of Sustainability is intended to do.
Coordination with entities outside of UNT helps that effort as well, he said.
Huggett studies the effects that synthetic waste products have on life in aquatic systems, like rivers and lakes. He and some colleagues at UNT helped co-organize the Denton Drug Disposal Day to help prevent prescription drugs from getting into the water, he said.
“The hardest thing to change is people’s habits and behav-iors,” Davis said.
Matt Recsnik, a mechanical energy engineering senior, has been working on a project that could bring wind turbines to the university’s new football stadium.
Projects that show the prac-tical application of renew-able resources at UNT could contribute to similar projects in other places, Recsnik said.
“If anything, our research raises awareness of the need to be implementing these renew-able energy resources on a broad scale,” he said.

T he U. S. Nav y ’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron will perform as part of the more than 100 aero-batic, static display and booth exhibits featured at the Fort Worth Alliance Air Show this weekend.
The air show will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Fort Worth’s Alliance Airport. Admission to the nonprofit event is free, but parking costs $20, with proceeds going to benef i-ciaries in Tarrant Count y, accord i ng to t he event ’s website.
Both the private and mili-tary aviation sectors will be represented by aeria l and ground exhibitions ranging from an Air Force demon-stration of the F-22A Raptor
fighter jet to a rocket-powered Port-o-John.
The same aerial show will be per for med bot h days, beginning at 10 a.m. a nd concluding w it h t he Blue A ngels’ per forma nce at 4 p.m.
The Blue Angels have been touring the world demon-strating U.S. Naval aviation since 1946, according to the unit’s website. Blue Angels’ e vent s c oord i nator A my Tomlinson said the Angels serve as ambassadors to the public.
“Most people don’t get to meet the people serving in the foxholes or on the boats, so we represent the Navy and Marines on behalf of them,” Tomlinson said.
UNT will sponsor one of the 29 exhibit booths at the show.

Debate team squares off against international competition
Businesses around Denton prepare for HalloweenBy Taylor Jackson & loryn ThompsonStaff Writer & Intern
Spider webs and fake blood grace storefronts along Fry Street, a sign that Halloween is here.
Certain hot spots for UNT students, like Fry Street bars and the Square, are having events to bring in revenue and enjoy the weekend, but a few Denton shops, like Rose Costumes and Voodoo Halloween, build almost their whole year around October.
Voodoo Halloween is a costume and party store on Interstate Highway-35 near campus and is open from Sept. 1 to Nov. 7.
Owner Ashley Trowell, a UNT
alumna, expects to make most of her yearly income from the shop.
“Halloween is such a huge ordeal that most years I just sleep after we close instead of going out,” said Trowell, who has been doing it for years and expects to keep doing it.
Rose Costumes has been in Denton for 34 years.
Owner Judy Smith originally opened Secondhand Rose, which sold vintage clothes and furni-ture on Fry Street. Rose Costumes has been on the edge of Denton in Stonehill Center for seven years. She keeps the store open for most of the year.
Smith sells Christmas outfits
starting Nov. 1 and from January through May sells costumes to the local high schools for one-act
play competitions. She said that one-third of her yearly income comes from the sale of Halloween
costumes.“We sell costumes year-round
except the summer,” Smith said. “In the summer, we starve. Literally the only thing different than normal are the hanging bodies.”
Dustin Skinner, an unde-cided freshman, plans to buy a costume soon.
“I have no idea [what I’m going to be],” Skinner said. “I just want to go out and get one. I’m thinking of going to Rose on Friday.”
Public House is planning Halloween-themed events for the weekend.
“It’s the biggest week of the year,” said Mitchell Wilson, Public House’s manager. “But
it’s really just an excuse for us to dress up, drink and have a good time.”
Riprocks, Cool Beans and Lucky Lou’s are participating in a costume contest at midnight on Halloween, with each bar giving out $500 to the winners.
Seth Duban, a kinesiology sophomore, said the prize sounded appealing.
“I’m looking for a clever costume to go out to the bars in and win the costume contest because $500 sounds really nice,” he said. “That’s like a month’s rent for me.”

Welcoming a competitor from across the sea, the UNT debate team faced off against the British National Team on Thursday night at the Gateway Center in an hour-long debate.
The teams argued the topic “This House would tie all aid to the development of women’s rights,” discussing the effects of foreign aid and the issue of women’s rights throughout the world.
UNT continued a historical tradition with the event, as it has debated against international competition for 88 years, said Brian Lain, the debate coach and communications professor who moderated the event.
“I think this is a great event not only for our debate team but for the student body,” Lain said. “We’re trying to promote discus-sion about important issues… and we hope to have a couple
more of these events this year.”Graduate students Brett
Farmer and Lauren Sabino were challenged by Lewis Iwu and Mary Nugent, the pair from the U.K.
“It’s been really fun competing here,” Nugent said. “We’ve had great hospitality here.”
Lain opened the event by thanking several departments and explaining the parameters of the debate.
Both teams were allowed two sets of seven-minute speeches on the topic, with a three-minute cross-examination period between each speech.
A 20-minute questioning period was given for the audi-ence to inquire about what had been argued in the round, which was ended with a five-minute summary speech for each team.
“I thought it was a produc-tive and interesting debate,” Iwu said. “It’s not about competition.
The important thing is spreading information about the issues.”
As the affirmative side, UNT stressed that sending money and guns to nations that were violating women’s rights was a bad choice for the U.S.
The team argued for condi-tional supply of other goods and materials to countries that worked to promote human rights.
The British team contended otherwise, claiming that money must be sent to garner improve-ments and that sending aid to countries that violate women’s rights could help the problem.
Joanna Lugo, a communi-cation studies senior, favored the British team after the round because of its ability to rebut UNT’s arguments.
“Both sides made valid argu-ments, but the negative side did a better job presenting clear and concise arguments,” she said. “They did a great job in cross-examination as well.”

Since 2006, the Denver soccer team has won four straight Sun Belt Conference Tournaments, compiled a 68-17-8 record and defeated the No. 1-ranked team in the nation.
With the Pioneers (16-2-0, 10-0-0) again clinching the top seed in the Sun Belt this season, the UNT soccer team w il l undergo its toughest test when it v isits Denver on Friday.
“T h i s ga me c er t a i n ly means something and every year we know what to expect from them,” head coach John Hedlund said. “The times we were successful against Denver, we attacked them
and didn’t settle for a defen-sive-minded approach.”
The Mean Green (12-5-2, 7-2-1) enters its final regular-season game as the No. 3 seed. UNT needs a win and a Middle Tennessee victory over Western Kentucky to secure the No. 2 seed.
“These games become a lot more important for all of us because our position in the conference becomes a f a c t o r,” s o p h o m o r e midfielder Carly McDowell said. “A w in over Denver wou ld g ive us plent y of momentum going into the conference tournament.”
Undefeated i n con fer-ence play, Denver has won 11 straight games en route to becoming the No. 22-ranked team in the nation, while UNT is riding an eight-game unbeaten streak.

The Mean Green is ranked n i n t h w h i l e D e n v e r i s currently second.
UNT w il l have its hands full defending Pioneer Kaitlin Bast, who leads the team with 31 points of f 14 goa ls and three assists.
“The defense doesn’t change for a specific player,” junior defender Sha n non Gor r ie said. “We have a system in mind and we’re focused on sticking to that. The key for our offense and defense is possession of the ball.”
Hedlund’s offense has run through sophomore midfielder Ellen Scarfone all season, as she leads the team with nine assists and is third on the team with seven goals.
“The midfield is where I’m most comfortable. I feel like I can help the team the most when I’m at that position,” Scarfone said. “There’s a lot of chemistry on this offense and that makes scoring so much easier.”
Both teams have talent on each side of the ball, as UNT and Denver rank in the top three of every offensive cate-gory in the Sun Belt and are the top two teams in goals allowed and shutouts.
“As a team, we are confi-dent that we can win a title this year,” Scarfone said. “We have the chemistry, talent and coaching to go very far.”
Histor y is not on UNT’s side, a s t he Mea n Green hasn’t defeated Denver since 2005 and the Pioneers own an 11-4-1 edge in the series’ history.
“It’s never easy to play them, especially on the road where the altitude comes into play,” Hedlund said. “The defense is certainly there, so it’s up to our offense to have one of its better games if we want to win.”
Play begins at 7 p.m. Friday at CIBER Field in Denver.

Growing up in Plano, sopho-more midfielder Carly McDowell and her older sister Caitlin would fire soccer balls into the back of the goal in their backyard. The two would play whatever sport they could when they were younger, including foursquare, soccer and any other games their imagina-tions could come up with.
“We were just running around all the time, making up our own games, making up our own fun,” said Caitlin McDowell, a defender at the University of Maryland. “You’d be amazed at the things two little girls can come up with to play.”
What Carly McDowell did in her backyard she now does on a much larger scale, helping the Mean Green achieve an overall record of 12-5-2. Her latest goal was one of the most significant of the season when she broke a 0-0 tie in the 81st minute against Arkansas State University last weekend, putting UNT ahead for good.
Carly McDowell has racked up four goals and two assists in her sophomore season, appearing in all 19 games.
“Whenever the game is tied, she always pulls through,” soph-omore midfielder Ellen Scarfone said. “She gets up and back down the field. She’s never tired. She keeps going and going, and always gives us that pull through that we need.”
Scarfone, who also had a goal in the victory against ASU last weekend, played against Carly McDowell in recreational soccer when the duo was younger. The two played together on the Dallas Sting. They now live next door to each other, and when they aren’t in class together or hanging out, they appease their appetites at Jason’s Deli and Panera Bread.
Carly and Caitlin The 19-year-old picked up her
hunger for winning at a young age when the McDowell sisters helped Plano West High School win a state championship in 2007. Despite an age difference of two years and two days, the sisters not only share October birthdays but also were able to share that emotional championship run.
Athlete of the Week: Maturity fuels McDowell
Now, Carly McDowell looks to match the efforts of her older sister, the co-captain of the Terrapins, who has revitalized a program that had more wins last season than it did in the previous two combined.
Caitlin McDowell said Carly pushes herself to be the best every second.
“She’s always been an impor-tant player on every team she has been a part of,” she said. “She has a work rate that cannot be matched. She’s extremely fast, and that’s always a threat.”
The two were coached by their father Rick during their early soccer careers, when the family moved from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to the North Texas area in 1997. Both were part of the Stingers recreational soccer team, where their chemistry developed.
“They definitely had a knack for it,” Rick McDowell said. “I think in some senses, they are similar, but there’s differences. Carly is faster and has a stronger leg, and Caitlin’s more of a tech-nical player.”
Her plans for the futureThe 5-foot-4-inch business
major’s talents and abilities extend beyond the pitch, carrying her work ethic into the class-room. At Plano West, she gradu-ated with a grade-point average of 3.99 and was a member of the
National Honor Society. At UNT, the younger McDowell sister was on the 2009 North Texas Athletic Director’s Honor Roll and the 2009-10 Sun Belt Commissioner’s List.
“It’s definitely a struggle,” Carly McDowell said of performing well in both areas. “It’s all about time management. I’ve always put school first and soccer second.”
Ca rly ’s mot her, Susa n McDowell, can see her becoming a lawyer, while her father can envision his daughter picking up a degree in business administra-tion. However, Carly McDowell plans on staying with the busi-ness path, with aspirations of doing something in sports marketing.
“It’s something that just inter-ests me,” Carly McDowell said. “I’m a big sports person, and I like advertising stuff and marketing things, so I think it would be really cool to work for Nike or Under Armour, or a big company like that.”
For now, Carly McDowell will continue to lead the Mean Green as she continues to mature under head coach John Hedlund.
“She’s taken it to another level her sophomore year compared to her first year, and it shows with her play throughout the year,” Hedlund said. “We look for her to hold down that position on the outside [midfielder].”

Volleyball team faces an intense weekend against No. 1, 2 teams
BY LAURA ZAMORASports Editor
The Sun Belt Conference’s top two squads, Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky, will invade the Mean Green Volleyball Center this weekend, hoping to shake up UNT’s win column. The Mean Green (17-9, 9-2) has led the Sun Belt West division all month. Now, it faces East-division opponents MTU (20-5, 11-1) and WKU (21-6, 10-1) today and Sunday.The pair thrive on offense, forcing head coach Ken Murczek to prepare his squad to contain it. “Middle Tennessee runs one of the fastest offenses in the country,” he said. “We’re going to take a lot of risks behind the service line so they can’t do that. We want to take them out of this quick tempo that they run.” The defending Sun Belt Champion Blue Raiders have reached the NCAA Tournament each year for the last four seasons.

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

Black lines weave like stitching and unite to create designs in artist Richard Benavidez’s unti-tled drawings.
An art exhibition featuring new emerging college artists in Texas is currently on display at Dallas’ oldest artist-run coopera-tive art space, 500X, and features Benavidez, a drawing and painting and sculpture junior.
The 500X Expo: College opened Oct. 16 and continues from noon to 5 p.m. until Sunday. The gallery is open Saturdays and Sundays and is located in Dallas at 500 Exposition Ave.
The 500X Expo: College show was juried by Andrea Karnes, curator of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
“Richard Benavidez’s abstract drawings are suggestive of organic form, stains, a spine — a multi-
tude of things come to mind. In any case, the marks made on his papers are captivating and beau-tiful,” Karnes said.
Ben av ide z de s c r ib e s h i s drawings as subjective because e v e r y on e s e e s s om e t h i n g different.
“It’s all up to your own imagi-nation and what you’re thinking,” he said.
While Benavidez does painting, sculpting, bronze casting, wood carving, metal etching and even embroidery work, his current focus is drawing.
“Right now, I’m really into drawing because of its imme-diacy,” he said. “You know exactly what it’s going to look like right after you make that mark.”
In painting and sculpting, it’s a process that doesn’t allow the artist to see the result right away, Benavidez said.
“I work in pen and ink, and it’s
permanent,” he said. “I like pen because you have to be confident with your mark making.”
Benavidez said he’s a lways worked with lines and enjoys experimenting with them but is now trying to transform lines into shape and texture.
“The textures I would create in my background started becoming more interesting than the actual subjects within the piece, so I decided to just start working with that texture,” he said.
About a year ago, Benavidez was in another 500X exhibition called Landscapes, a non-juried open art show.
Susan Cheal, Benavidez’s inter-mediate painting teacher at UNT, said his line drawings create inter-esting patterns.
“T hey ’re ver y beaut i f u l ly rendered, sophist icated a nd clean,” she said.

Marigold f lowers will fill the room. People will listen to the sounds of mariachi music playing in the background and be intoxi-cated by the aroma of homemade pastries.
Día de los Muertos, or “Day of the Dead,” is celebrated on Nov. 2 and gives family and friends a chance to celebrate the memory of loved ones who’ve died.
The Rose Marine Theater or Galeria de la Rosa in Fort Worth will host a free Día de los Muertos Art Show and Celebration from 7-10 p.m. Oct. 30 to show people what the holiday is really about.
Mary Boswell, an event orga-nizer and featured artist, said many people think Día de los Muertos is similar to Halloween when they have very little in common.
“It’s nothing like Halloween,” Boswell said. “It’s a sacred holiday that reminds Latinos where they come from, who they came from and have a chance to celebrate their ancestors.”
The art exhibit will begin at 7 p.m. and features paintings from Dallas-Fort Worth artists expressing what Día de los Muertos means to them.
The entertainment portion of the festival will open with Ballet Folklorico Azteca performing at 7:30 p.m.
Mariachi band Sol de Tejas will begin its performance at the festival at 8:30 p.m.
Boswell’s 3-D piece of Mexican artist Frida Khalo is a body cast with cats signifying her relation-ship with them.
“She had a lot of cats that gave her some serious scratches, so it’s
very different,” Boswell said about her piece.
Marc Alcala, the producing director of the event said attendees will learn about the holiday through art.
“People will get to see what Día de los Muertos is through all the diverse paintings, pottery, and the altars that will be filled with religious imagery, candles and artifacts from loved ones,” Alcala said.
This year, the audience will vote for its favorite altar in the Día de los Muertos altar competition, he said.
Altars are built to honor the deceased where family and friends gather around to share stories and memories of their ancestors.
They’ll also have a chance to decorate the altars with traditional sugar skulls, a main symbol for the
Artists unite to celebrate Dia de los Muertosholiday, and marigolds along with pan muerto, “bread of the dead,” a dish that is said to be a favorite of the deceased.
“This year we have a variety of art,” Alcala said. “Some people made calaveras or ‘skulls,’ and others made portraits of loved ones,” he said.
Manuel Beltran, an engineering sophomore, said people will benefit from the event because he believes
the meaning for the holiday has been forgotten and the tradition has been lost.
“It’s a specia l holiday to remember the people that were once part of your life,” Beltran said. “The bad thing is that no one does that anymore. They just care about parties and candies.”

Benavidez said the best part of the show is seeing what other artists are doing and gaining
inspiration from their work.“I think people should recog-
nize that UNT has a really good art program right now,” he said. “It’s one of the best in our country.”

A wobbling, creaking wood bridge leads attendees across a muggy swamp to the door of the Parker’s Funeral Home.
The story behind the Parker House starts in the 1940s. It is said the Parker family opened the first mortuary in their town. Business boomed until city residents stopped dying, so Mary, t he daughter, sta r ted lur ing hitchhikers and the homeless into the house, where they would be horrif ical ly murdered and their l imbs sold on the black market.
T he hou se i s my t h ic a l ly preserved just as it was nearly a century ago.

At f irst glance, the wooden pa let te outside a storef ront painted to represent a house appears a bit tacky and gives customers a sense of certainty that the house will be tame.
Viewers quickly learn not to judge a book by its cover.
On an ordinary night at Moxley Manor, the rooms of the house are dimly lit and customers see the graphic scenes of a murdered family.
It has what they call “glow stick night” where the house is cast in darkness, and the only light is a
tracking the copper aroma of pools of blood. The whirl of chainsaws inter-mingles with chilling screams as you find yourself trembling with terror.
Halloween, the night the dead walk the earth, is the best time to make a trip to a haunted house, but students should make sure to get their money’s worth.

The darkness gives performers an advantage. While attendees are walking into walls, they don’t expect a zombie to jump out at them. At certain angles, however, the actors are visible, and the panic dies away.
Moxley Manor is scariest for those who jump easily. Actors laugh and whisper in viewers’ ears as they run to escape canni-bals and chainsaws.

will guide them to a larger room in the back.
The wait staff is quick to ask for orders and offer appetizer and menu suggestions. It may be a good idea to ask for their personal recommenda-tions because the menu can be a little overwhelming. Chimichangas, shrimp quesa-dillas, fajita nachos, beef tacos, enchiladas and more can be found on the menu.
The complementary chips and dips are mediocre. The salsa is a little bland and not spicy at all. It is very watery. The chips need a lot of salt. They are a little stale and very bland.
Thankfully, the chips aren’t a good representation of the main entrees, because Miguelito’s has some tasty dishes.
The charro soup comes in a big bowl and has little green herbs added for a hint of color. The cilantro, onions and hickory bacon
only add to the soup’s fantastic flavor.
The chicken and beef quesa-dillas are great. The portions are large, and two will be more than enough to feed a customer’s appe-tite.
These aren’t your traditional quesadillas. Unlike a typical quesa-dilla where two tortillas cover the meat and cheese, they look exactly like a taco where the meat and cheese sits inside one tortilla.
But the appearance doesn’t take away from the taste. The chicken is powerful. All of the great seasoning makes the meat terrific and flavorful unlike chips and salsa.

Customers will be pleased with their experience at Miguelito’s.

The chicken is tender and mixes terrifically with the thick beef. The beef can be a little chewy, but it’s definitely a great complement to the dish.
The food is good, but the prices are a little high. They range from $5-$17. Although the portions are
generally big, customers may want to come during the lunch hours if they want a cheaper meal.
Miguelito’s staff is also very friendly and may be another reason guests keep coming back for their fine Mexican-style food.
Many college students think they’re too old to trick-or-treat, but this recipe will give you an incentive to go door-to-door or at least stock up on Halloween treats. This recipe for trick-or-treat cheesecake, courtesy of the Betty Crocker Recipe Magazine, uses Halloween candy to make a new delightful creation. This cheesecake needs at least six hours in the fridge, so give your-
self plenty of time to prepare. Get unwanted candies out of the house by making a treat-or-treat cheesecake for a friend or yourself.

Local Etsy Denton artists host first barn sale

Attendees will walk through aisles lined with booths piled with hand-made purses, jewelry, clothes and refurbished furniture at the Etsy Denton Barn Sale on Saturday.
The sale is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at 4573 Coyote Point in Denton.
Etsy.com is a website made up of different artists and craftspeople from all over the world who sell hand-made and vintage clothing, paintings, accessories and furniture.
Etsy Denton is a group made up of local artists who sell their items on the website.
“The barn sale is Etsy Denton’s way of bringing Denton together and celebrating our city as a creative place,” fiber art senior Laura Jinks said. “There will be all sorts of artists with booths at the sale that together appeal to a wide variety of ages.”
Jinks began selling hand-painted T-shirts on Etsy this year and plans to set up her shop called Gynx Designs
at the sale.“There are tons of T-shirt shops out
there, but all of my T-shirts are hand-painted instead of screen-printed,” Jinks said. “It allows me to get some interesting effects that you can’t get with screen printing. All of my shirts are one of a kind, so you’ll never see anyone else wearing the same exact shirt.”
Fiber art senior Rachel Gaddie plans on setting up her design line called Rachel Elise.
“I had been making bags for myself and my friends since I was in middle school,” Gaddie said. “But when I came to UNT, people kept telling me I should sell my work.”
After selling her bags at Art Six Coffee House, a friend told Gaddie about Etsy.
She also has some of her work for sale in Dallas, San Diego and Quebec.

Ghostland Observatory has done what most bands couldn’t muster the strength to do: make four albums, headline music festi-vals, and record and produce on its own label while maintaining the band’s distinctive flare.
“Codename: Rondo,” the duo’s latest album, should have been a walk in the park compared to the obstacles previously faced. However, Ghostland Observatory’s section of the record stores won’t be crowded with fans anytime soon.
The album’s opener, “Glitter,” is the only song sparkling on this record. It’s not as good as some of Ghostland Observatory’s older songs, but it carries that electronic beat
listeners have come to know as the band’s trademark.
The drop beats in the background and vocal distortions start as well as finish the album on a groovy path.
The band attempts to go in a different, more mature direction, trying to showcase diversity, but why fix something that isn’t broken?
What should have been the record’s smash-hit single, “Give Me the Beat” sounds like there’s no blood running through the band’s veins. The track features spastic vocals and off-tempo background noises, which sound like a 5-year-old banging the keys on a Fisher Price piano.
If Southern blues and ‘90s techno created a new genre, this song would be their love child.
The killer throughout “Codename: Rondo” is the production quality. The album sounds homemade, as if the
band made makeshift soundproof walls in grandma’s basement.
The record closes out with tracks like “Mama.” The song is slow and repetitive to the point that it almost becomes annoying.
It sounds like Def Leppard inspired this song—hair-metal bands died off in the ‘80s. If listeners can brave through the song and afford to waste three and a half minutes of their lives, then more power to them.
Aaron Behrens, vocalist and guitarist, is known for his soulful lyrics and passionate voice, but on this album he’s completely detached. “Codename: Rondo” fails because Behrens has no drive behind the music he and his partner have crafted.
All the ingredients are there to produce a mind-blowing 10-track record: synthesizers, beats and

Denton’s culture,” Gaddie said. “Plus, a lot of vendors are UNT students, so you’d be helping out your fellow classmates as well as the art commu-nity at large.”
Gaddie is the organizer behind Etsy Denton and the Etsy Denton Barn Sale.
“My friend Shelley and I had talked about how cool it would be to have an Etsy group in Denton,” Gaddie said. “We both thought it would be great to have a network of other Etsy people that could all support each other, keeping us from feeling like we were out there all on our own.”
Alongside the different booths and shops attendees will see, the sale will have live music, a children’s costume contest and live T-shirt printing by the Pan Ector T-shirt company.
“I really want to go for the one of a kind items they will be having there,” said social work freshman Tessa Kisielewski. “It’s easier on my wallet than the mall or regular online shop-ping, and Etsy is one of my favorite websites to browse.”
promiscuous lyrics, but Ghostland Observatory chose to play it safe.
In a time when dub step, synthe-sized house music, is taking over the music scene, Ghostland Observatory
picked the worst time possible to grow up.

“The Colour Out of Space” by H.P. Lovecraft
Everyone in Arkham refuses to talk about “the strange days.” The only person willing to discuss them is Ammi Pierce, who lived at the edge of what happened.
A surveyor from Boston, sent to prepare the area for the installation of a new reservoir, sits down with Ammi to hear the tale.
It all started with a meteor that landed in front of the Gardner fami-ly’s home and farmland. The meteor that contains colors that could not be correctly identified in relation to Earth’s spectrum never cooled, It had no volatile reaction when it came in contact with any kind of substance.
Its disappearance after a thun-derstorm became the catalyst for strange events.
The crops grew abnormally, sporting a similar sheen to the meteor then becoming grey and brittle. The trees began to glow. The animals became increasingly uncomfort-able with cows and horses suffering what was soon called the “grey brittle death.”
Mrs. Gardner went first.One by one, their three sons
followed, and the people of Arkham grew to avoid the Gardner prop-erty at all costs. Only Ammi had a hands-on account of what actually happened.
Spoiler alert: The death of Mr. Gardner doesn’t put an end to the strange things that occurred on that property. It only gets worse.
