A lot of it has to do with being from Texas, and not growing up in a basketball state. I, for one, just don't like basketball as well, although it was fun back in the late '60's when Joe Hamilton was wearing the green.

Harry...It is unlike you to be unkind. You owe Michael Hickman an apology. The following was totally unnecessary to the story: "...should be a better blocker than dearly departed Michael Hickmon." (and no, I'm not his mother, or any relative whatsoever. I don't even know Hickman.)

My name is Mary, and I am probably the only former Green Jacket on the board. I love this university....GMG!!!

Why not UNT-Arlington? Sounds like a quick way to upgrade our engineering program, and pick up an architecture school, to boot.

It sounds to me like you're talking to the wrong folks. I suspect the color guard (or flag corps?) select the color of the flags themselves, and they don't like green, particularly the green they have if they were described as "ugly." Speak with the girls(?) directly, not the directors.

I think you're mistaken, Stan. It was my understanding that UNT had already surpassed Tech in terms of numbers. BTW...I asked my brother who is a prof at Kansas what the enrollment is at KU, and he said "about 28,000."

I wholeheartedly support honoring the Hurleys in this manner.

I just read in the FWST that the Texas Wesleyan Law School has been up for sale. The article said that it was offered to TCU, but that talks broke down about a month ago. I wonder if anyone at UNT is interested?

The sorority girls will recruit anyone who registers for rush. It's been my observation that commitments such as band or athletics often conflict with the formal rush schedule. Sororities usually do not contact girls who have not registered for and/or participated in rush because they are not allowed to take more than quota, which is based on the number who go through formal rush. (They take the total number of registered girls and divide by the number of sororities to get each group's "quota.") Those sororities with openings can contact unaffiliated girls during "open rush," but most of the groups have as many girls by then as they are allowed to take. I am sure that athletes are a valued commodity, if their schedules allow them to participate in recruitment.

A&M doesn't have a Homecoming. Bonfire was traditionally held before the UT game, but not as a part of homecoming festivities.

I never heard what the folks in Austin thought, but the folks at UT Arlington were incensed.

Course-sharing between UNT and TWU is nothing new. There are several graduate "federation" programs in which UNT and TWU grad students take the same courses...some at UNT and some at TWU. As a UNT special education grad student, I had two TWU courses on my degree plan. It only makes sense that there will be more of this sort of thing in the days to come. Remember, also, that only a few months back there was a proposal before the legislature to put UNT, TWU, UTA and UT Southwestern Medical School in the UNT system with UNT Dallas and the UNTHSC. Change is coming.

I understand that there is a new committee of faculty and staff being assembled to study campus beautification. Perhaps thoughts on the subject should be sent to university counsel, Richard Rafes, who is in charge of the committee.

First of all, of the two apartment buildings next to Clark Hall, the one farthest to the west has been cordoned off to be razed, and the other one is soon to follow, I understand. The Sig Ep house is gone and the lot has been smoothed preliminary to a pedestrian mall to be built between the Gateway Center and Willis Library. There is a new parking lot on Highland where the dining hall to the quads used to be...and Chestnut Street has been closed and torn up from NT Blvd past the P.E. building. Hopefully, that will be a green space running between the new student rec. center and the PEB. I've noticed that the tennis courts on NT Blvd are being razed, as well. Anyone know why? Are they repairing them or removing them?

Or repaint the dome dark green. Faded green isn't cool.
