Local beers could soon be flowing in Texas bars and retail stores pending legislation that would allow small-time brewers to market their craft like never before.
Brewpubs and microbrew-eries across the state are getting behind Texas House Bill 660 as it makes its way through the 82nd legislature. The bill, written by Rep. Mike Villarreal of San Antonio, would allow local beer crafters to sell their brews to bars, retailers and distributors in Texas and abroad.
“That w i l l be t remen-dous,” said Yianni Arestis, the co-founder of Armadillo Ale Works, which is set to become Denton’s first brewpub. “There are new opportunities for addi-tional revenue and to remove restrictions that make Texas brew-pubs not as competitive.”
The U.S. beer market was worth $101 billion in 2009, according to the Brewers Association. More than $7 billion of that came from sales of small craft brews. With only 23 independent brewpubs, Texas ranks 47th nationally for breweries per capita.
What separates a brewpub from a larger brewery such as Spoetzel, which makes Shiner Bock, or Rahr and Sons in Ft. Worth, is its size and the amount of beverage it produces. Brewpubs are smaller, independent and home-grown operations that churn out less than 10,000 barrels of beer annu-ally.
Unlike breweries, brewpubs in Texas can only sell beer on loca-tion, whereas a brewery can sell

Coming into Thursday night’s contest against the University of South Alabama, a return home was exactly what the UNT men’s basketball team needed.
The Mean Green snapped a four-game losing streak, defeating the Jaguars 82-79. It was the first win for UNT since its win over Arkansas State on Jan. 22.
The victory gives the Mean Green a 6-6 record in Sun Belt Conference play. Senior guard Dominique Johnson said he believes UNT can make the most of its season.
“It’s the perfect time to get right back on track,” Johnson said. “We have four regular season games left and then it’s tournament time. This is a good way to go into the tournament, 5-0 with some confidence.”
Coming off the bench, Johnson contributed with 14 points, including a crucial 3-point basket late in the game for the Mean Green (17-8, 6-6).
Senior guard Josh White displayed strong leadership in the second half, scoring the team’s final eight points. White, who finished the game with 13 points, went six for six from the free throw line, with the attempts coming in the closing minutes of the came.
In the first half, the Jaguars (10-14, 4-9) shot over 60 percent from the field. That number decreased in the final 20 minutes, as USA had a 53.7 shooting percentage in the second half.
“I thought from start to finish, we were probably better tonight [compared to previous games], but I thought we were really good in the second half,” head

The completion date for the parking garage under construc-tion at the corner of Highland St. and Avenue A has been delayed because of the recent winter weather.
Officials said the Highland St. Parking Garage, originally projected to be completed mid-July and would open in time for the start of fall classes, a date that coin-cides with the scheduled opening of the new Business Leadership Building adjacent to the garage.“The goal is to have them both fully operational at the beginning of the fall semester,” said Joe Richmond, the interim director of Parking and Transportation Services. The seven-story garage is expected to include 953 spaces and house new, centrally located offices for Parking and Transportation.Open for use by faculty, staff, students and visitors alike, the new garage will operate in the same way as the current Union Circle parking garage, Richmond said. “There will be hourly rates and there will probably be semester or annual rates,” Richmond said. “The semester and annual rates are still under discussion — the main thing is hourly and long-term [rates].”
Parking permits will not be valid within the garage, and the cost is still being evaluated, Richmond said.
Richmond said UNT is looking to change the way parking works on campus to make it more effi-cient and work in conjunction with current transportation services.
As surface parking lots get replaced with academic buildings and resident halls, Parking and Transportation recognizes new parking is needed. Richmond said it is important to build up, not out.“We’ve been losing surface lots and we’re going to replace all of those, and there will be a net gain with this parking garage,” Richmond said. Landry Lewis, a criminal justice senior, said he likes seeing UNT tackle real issues that students have stepped forward to identify. “By addressing these [parking] problems, UNT will not only help to fix a growing problem for many students, they will show the students and the outside commu-nity their sincere desire to be a top tier public university,” Lewis said.
UNT officials said they are meeting weekly with contractors to ensure the process continues to move along smoothly.

State microbrews could be on tap soon
Beer drinkers could have more homegrown options by summer, pending the approval of Texas House Bill 660, which would allow small Texas “brewpubs” to distribute their beer to bars and retailers both state and nationwide.

beer to bars and retailers virtually anywhere but at the brewery.
The current law has stirred craft brew activists across Texas to call for a change at a time when the brewpub business is booming in other states.
Places like California and Colorado put fewer restrictions on brewpubs and brands there have ventured out of state to stores in Texas, for instance, the second largest beer consumer in the United States, according to the
National Institute of Health. “We see that there is a definite
demand for it,” Arestis said. He and his business partner Bobby Mullins have linked up with other craft brewers to encourage the bill. They held an HB 660 rally two weeks ago at the Hydrant Café in Denton.
Others, such as Freetail Brewing Company of San Antonio, Uncle Billy’s Brewery and NXNW Brewery, both from Austin, have joined together to
create the organization Texas Beer Freedom. The group has held rallies around the state and talked with legislators concerning the law.
The fate of the bill will not be known until mid-summer, after its contents have been debated by legislators opposed to increasing access to alcohol in the state and others who see it as an economic opportunity.
For start-ups like Armadillo Ale Works, the bill is key to being able
to order a Courthouse Common or a Texas Wheat beer in a venue other than Denton. Arestis and Mullins are currently talking with investors with their sights on opening a brewpub near the new A-train station downtown.
“We like Denton, and we went along with its culture and feel. The city needs a brewpub,” Arestis said. “The beer gets brought across the room instead of being trucked across the state.”
Garage opening delayed
UNT uses defense to stop USA
coach Johnny Jones said. Trailing by five at the half-
time break, UNT came out of the locker room with a renewed sense of energy, overtaking Southern Alabama with 10:56 left in the game.
“In the second half, when we needed to make stops, we made them, and that’s why we came out with the victory,” senior guard Tristan Thompson said.
Thompson helped carry the Mean Green in the second half,
scoring 13 of his 18 points after the break.
During the four-game slide, UNT allowed 83 points per game. Despite allowing 79 points, it forced 12 turnovers.
“Everybody’s going to have to pick it up defensively, and I’m in that category, and that goes for the whole team, too,” Thompson said.
UNT will look to build on its win when it faces Louisiana-Monroe at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

A new display in the Willis Librar y’s Rare Book Room seeks to provide a glimpse into the life and histor y of books by tel l ing the stor y of how they’ve been bound throughout the centuries.
“Building the Book,” an exhibit running all semester in UNT’s main library, show-cases the histor y of book-b i n d i n g , s a i d J e n n i f e r Sheehan, a curator for the Rare Book Room who came up with the idea and orga-nized the exhibit.
“Basica l ly it ’s g iven t he materials we have to work w it h in t he col lect ion — a tracing of book binding histor y,” Sheehan said. “It talks about the early written word, different materials and binding structures that have been used for book binding over the centuries, and then about some more unusua l t y pes of cover i ng mate-rials.”
Ma ny of t he d isplayed b o o k s a r e b o u n d w i t h pigsk in a nd covered w it h leather, although some offer more decorative coverings including paper mâché and silver.
One of the popular and more interesting books on display is a modern art ist book bou nd i n wol f f u r, Sheehan said. A lot of people call it the “Wolf book.”
Sheehan said the life of a book can be traced from the features and the materials used to bind it,
“Back w hen t hey used to bind books in wooden boards, based on the type of wood that they used, you can get an idea of where they bound that book,” Sheehan said. “That’s sort of signifi-cant if you’re trying to trace the life of that book over the centuries.”
Amber Reed, a graduate library assistant, helped with the process of preserving the books so they would not dete-
riorate when they were put on display.
“A lot of the books are either standing up or they’re fully open, so we have to angle them so the spine doesn’t become separated from the books,” Reed said. “We have to make different stands out of a thicker material that is acid-free so it won’t damage the books.”
All the books on display were picked from the mostly donated collection already housed in t he Ra re Book Room, Sheehan said.
The exhibit is open to the public from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
“We have a lot of students coming in there as part of English classes a nd ot her sorts of classes doing tours which usually include a visit in the Rare Book Room,” said Michel le Mea rs, a l ibra r y archivist. “It will be inter-est i ng for people to see there are different ways to

The exhibit opened at the beginning of the semester

“It’s a topic I am rea l ly interested in,” said Sheehan. “I think that a lot of people

Scholars show o� their work this weekendBY TAYLOR JACKSONStaff Writer
More than 250 participants from around the country are coming to UNT this weekend to show off research they hope will inspire each other to greater heights.
The 13th annual McNair Scholar Convention, will be the 10th hosted at UNT. Running today through Sunday, the conference, is open to the public and will be a showcase for scholars that want to present their research.
The McNair Scholarship program consists of about 6,000 student scholars who have produced cutting-edge break-throughs in a variety of fields ranging from genetics to polit-ical economics.
“This convention really shows students what can be done. All of these scholars are undergrads that just put the time in,” said John Ishiyama of the political science faculty and member of the program’s advisory board.
The scholarship program is
named after Ronald E. McNair, a physicist who became the second African-American NASA astronaut. McNair died when the Challenger space shuttle exploded shortly after takeoff in 1986.
Participating scholars will travel from 22 universities across the country to attend the conference, said Diana Elrod, the director of the program at UNT.
Topics this year include the shoe repair industry in the modern culture, capital punish-
ment in Texas and the effects of medication found in the water supply on the development of fish.
To meet the requirements for McNair, a student must have a 3.0 grade point average or higher and want to conduct research. Students must also demonstrate a need for financial aid in order to pursue a doctoral degree. The program also looks for those who could become first-gener-ation doctoral students.
Adrian Cadar, a biology senior, plans to go to graduate
school in the near future and said he hopes to get his Ph. D and possibly his M.D. He said McNair has prepared him for the challenges of research and public presentation. He gave a presentation in front of the Texas Legislative and is presenting his research on a mechanism that governs the closure of an important embry-onic fetal blood vessel at the McNair convention.
“It definitely helps devel-oping you in the way of critical thinking,” Cadar said.

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

Player to watch: Junior Irina ParaschivIf UNT wants to repeat the success it had against the Red Raiders last season, Paraschiv must play a big role. Head coach Sujay Lama called the junior UNT’s “emo-tional leader” after she won her match last weekend.
UNT vs. Texas Tech
Game is at noon Sunday in Lubbock.
vs.
BY BRETT MEDEIROSIntern
Facing its third Big-12 Conference team this month, the UNT tennis team travels to Lubbock to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders at noon Saturday.
Both teams dropped their last three games and UNT dropped in the national rankings from 60 to 70.
“If everybody raises their level, we are a better team,” said head coach Sujay Lama.
During the Red Raiders’ losing streak, each matchup was decided by one point. Texas Tech’s weak-ness during the stretch has been singles play, as they have lost the singles point in each loss.
In last year’s matchup between the teams, the Mean Green (1-5) defeated the Red Raiders (4-3) 5-2 in Denton.
This week, UNT was short-handed because junior Nadia Lee and senior Madura Ranganathan were sick. Lee has practiced all week and will return to this weekend.
“She has been making some nice progress,” Lama said. “Come next Saturday, she should be ready to play.”
Against Wichita State and Kansas State last week, the Mean Green players had an opportunity to play up two spots from their normal position because of Lee and Ranganthan’s absences.
Junior Irina Paraschiv secured UNT’s first victory over KSU, winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-3.
“She has been playing great ball,” Lama said. “She is our emotional leader and it’s good to see her find that confidence. She is playing at her best right now.”
Senior Amy Joubert, who moved up from the sixth to fourth spot, notched the Mean Green’s final victory against the Wildcats.
UNT visits Texas Tech
BY BOBBY LEWISSenior Staff Writer
Thursday night’s game against South Alabama ended the same way the UNT women’s basket-ball team’s previous five games finished: in defeat.
A poor second half doomed the Mean Green (5-20, 2-10), who fell to the Jaguars (15-10, 7-6) 79-61.
“We just got outrebounded in the end and that was really our demise,” head coach Shanice Stephens said. “It hurts too when [sophomore forward Jasmine Godbolt] is in foul trouble, because she’s one of our stronger rebounders, but everybody should have been kind of more activated towards the ball.”
Godbolt had four fouls, opening the middle for USA to get 56 rebounds. UNT managed to grab 36 rebounds.
In her limited minutes, Godbolt scored 10 points, but went two of 13 from the free throw line.
Freshman guard Laura McCoy started in place of junior guard Brittney Hudson, who missed the game with a bone bruise in her right foot. Hudson is ques-tionable for Saturday’s game against Louisiana-Monroe.
In her fourth career start, McCoy knocked down a deep 3-pointer at the end of the first half to give the Mean Green a one-point lead at the break. She finished with eight points.
“At halftime, we stopped
Women’s basketball loses sixth straight

“It was a good opportunity to play the four spot and win,”
Joubert said. “It’s great for my confidence.”
playing and [USA] got too may second chances,” McCoy said.
Senior guard Denetra Kellum led UNT in scoring for the ninth time this season with 18 points. Kellum was the only member of the team to shoot over 50 percent from the free throw line.
“We just weren’t scoring in the second half and we just kind of broke down on defense,” Kellum said.
Louisiana-MonroeUNT will have a quick turn-
around, as it hosts Louisiana Monroe (13-14, 7-7) on
Saturday. ULM beat UNT 76-65 on Jan. 20 in Monroe, La.
In the teams’ first matchup of the season, ULM outscored UNT in the paint, 46-32. Twelve of ULM’s rebounds came from senior forward Sannisha Williams, who scored 17 points in the Warhawks’ win.
“We have to really concen-trate on clogging up that middle and playing better defense,” Stephens said. “Jasmine didn’t have one of her better games, but hopefully we’ll be able to protect our paint at home a little bit better than we did on the road.”
During the game, UNT will wear pink uniforms in accordance with the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Pink Zone initiative.
UNT, along with the other 1,550 schools that agreed to participate, will help WBCA’s effort to raise breast cancer awareness.
The WBCA Pink Zone game will begin at 5 p.m. Saturday from the Super Pit.
Junior guard Kasondra Foreman attempts to receive a pass during Thurs-day’s game. UNT lost to Southern Alabama 79-61.
Junior Paula Dinuta returns the ball with a forehand during Sunday’s game. The Mean Green will face the Red Raiders Saturday at noon.

The sub consists of chicken, mozzarella and a variety of veggies.
The chicken is slightly under-seasoned. Without veggies, the sandwich would be bland.
The sub has a flaky crust and is buttery, which makes up for the underwhelming meat.
The restaurant is clean, but the service still has some kinks to work out.
The prices are pretty affordable — $7 for the Gio’s Sandwich with a drink and about the same for a regular calzone.
For students looking for afford-able Italian style food, Giovanni’s will satisfy their appetites.

Giovanni’s Pizza and Pasta has an open feel with big windows and a clear walkway to the counter.
Some items on the menu are sub sandwiches, hot wings, calzones, pasta, salads and pizza.
Specialty pizzas include alfredo, “Ranch Hand” — which comes with barbeque sauce, chicken or beef — margherita and “Rustic Italian.”
Sizes range from small to extra large.
The exposed brick wall showcases a piece of black and white spray-paint art of a musician holding a slice a pizza.
The menu is located on a chalk-board, above the counter where customers can place their order. The exposed kitchen is equipped with pizza ovens and a topping station, along with a friendly employee greets patrons.
The entrée is delivered straight from the oven to customers’ finger-tips.
The supreme calzone was cooked to perfection.
The golden crust had a home-baked flavor and was simmering hot right from the oven.
All of the ingredients played off of each other, creating an entire new palate of pizza-topping flavors. This is what pizza is supposed to taste like.
The Canadian bacon sweetened the black and green olives, and the onions maintained a balance between the sweet and salty toppings.
The Gio’s Sandwich is one of Giovanni’s signature sandwiches.
This recipe for fortune cookies is an inexpensive, easy-to-make recipe that uses pantry staple ingredients.
Shaping the cookies may not be the easiest thing in the world. A muffin pan helps keep the shape by folding and nestling the cookies in each cup.
To separate a yolk for the egg white, crack the egg open and carefully use the shells to hold back the yolk. Be careful not to break the yolks because the mixture won’t come out right.
For being a fairly simple recipe, these fortune cookies taste divine.
Ingredients:5 tablespoons of butter4 egg whites1 cup of sugar1 cup of all-purpose flour1 teaspoon of salt3 tablespoons of heavy whipping
cream1/3 teaspoon of almond extract Any size coffee mug
Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Fahrenheit.Spray a cooking sheet with non-
stick spray.Melt 5 tablespoons of butter in a
saucepan.In a bowl, mix the egg whites and
sugar until frothy.Add in the flour and salt until well-
blended.Next, mix in the melted butter,
heavy whipping cream and almond extract.
Once the batter is ready, take spoonfuls of it and pour onto baking sheet, spreading it out like a pancake. It’s recommended to bake two cookies at a time.
Place baking sheet in the oven for seven minutes.
When done, lift a cookie up while it’s still hot and place a fortune note on one side. Quickly fold the cookie in half like a taco, and then gently push the folded side down on the edge of the coffee mug to create its fortune cookie shape. Hold in place for a few seconds.

Three UNT students’ films will be screened this weekend at the Thin Line Film Festival located at the Campus Theatre on the Denton Square.
The six-day international docu-mentary event kicked off its fourth year Tuesday and will run through Sunday. Three-day, all-access passes are available for $55. Individual screening tickets are $6.
The Thin Line Film Festival was started by Denton-based nonprofit group Texas Filmmakers in 2007, and is currently the only documentary festival in Texas.
The students’ films are “Hobo Documentree” and “One Thing We Did Right,” which will both premiere at noon, and “This Way of Life,” which will premiere at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.
“It’s a luxury we have something
like this in a town that’s so saturated with liberal arts,” said Bryan Walior, a radio, television and film alumnus. “A lot of students don’t have a chance to have a festival near, and this gives students a chance of having their films seen.”
Festival premieres local and international films
The festival features 29 documen-taries, including two films off the 2010 Oscar short list, according to the festival brochure.
Festival officials expect about 3,000 people to attend this year, more than twice the attendance in 2010, said festival director Joshua Butler.
Two of the student films were created during a five-week docu-mentary workshop last summer, said Kyle Cage, one of the directors of “Hobo Documentree.”
Students were paired off to create
a 10-minute short film on a topic of their choice, he said.
Ran Shneck, a radio, television and film senior, and Michael Kraus, a radio, television and film senior, chose to produce a conversational documentary, “This Way of Life,” about four married couples decision to not have children.
“We wanted something that people will respond to,” Shneck said. “We wanted a topic people didn’t talk about much.”
“Hobo Documentree” explores the

The Thin Line Film Festival kicked off Tuesday at Campus Theatre on the Square and will continue through the weekend. An awards ceremony and closing reception will be held at 10 p.m. Saturday at Black Box Theatre.
About 220 people attended the opening screening of “Troubadours” at Campus Theatre and the following reception at Café Du Luxe. Festival officials expect about 3,000 people to attend this year, more than twice the attendance in 2010.

“One Thing We Did Right,” a film about a Vietnamese family who came to the United States as refugees after the fall of Saigon, was produced by graduate student Fredrick Dent.
The festival received about 150 submissions from around the world, and of those, seven features and 14 shorts were selected, Butler said.
The remaining films to screen are award-winning or chosen by the festival officials, he said.
“We take great care to make sure every film is engaging, interesting and entertaining,” Butler said. “We selected what we feel are the best pieces available to us.”
More than 220 people attended the opening screening Tuesday of “Troubadours,” a 90-minute music documentary framed by the careers of James Taylor and Carol King, and a reception held at Café Du Luxe, Butler said.
Several of the filmmakers will attend the screenings and recep-tions, allowing the audience to engage in question and answer sessions, he said.
The festival will feature two panels made up of local and national filmmakers discussing music and politics at 7 p.m. Saturday, Butler said.
“All of the films to be discussed are affected by the political envi-ronment in some way,” Butler said.
“Some films hope to inf luence the political scene while others are trying to tell a story without
political baggage,” he said.A closing reception and awards
ceremony will be held at 10 p.m. Saturday at Black Box Performing Arts Center at 318 E. Hickory St, according to the festival website.
Eugene Martin of the radio, tele-vision and film faculty said he is excited for the Thin Line festival’s small setting.
“Some of the best festivals I have been to are small,” Martin said. “You get to mix with both residents and filmmakers.”
It’s the quality of films and ease of navigation that makes a festival successful, Martin said.
“I’m looking forward to being able to walk into one cinema and watch the films. It’s intimate,” he said.

Denton residents Jill Haerle and Andrea Slater decide which � lms to check out during the Thin Line Film Festival this week. The festival will continue tonight and through the weekend at Campus Theatre on the Square.
Guests wait for the Thin Line Festival to begin Tuesday at Campus Theatre on the Square. About 220 people attended the opening screening of “Troubadours,” a musical journey into the singer-songwriter movement of the late-1960s and early-1970s.

It’s been 12 years since Mike Lagocki graduated from UNT with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing.
Lagocki, 37, said he co-founded the nonprofit organization ArtLoveMagic in 2007, which puts on live art shows throughout the Dallas area.
One of ArtLoveMagic’s biggest events is called “Underground,” and runs through Feb. 26. The event features works by illustrators, sculp-tors, toy designers, jewelry makers, body painters and graffiti artists.
The exhibition is at the Janette Kennedy Gallery, located at 1409 S. Lamar St.
“If it’s in the creative sphere, I’ve
tried it,” Lagocki said.Martin Campos, an artist from
Dallas, said he was somewhat nervous to draw in front of people.
Campos said he didn’t know what to expect, but was happy to find that people were respectful and friendly.
Lagocki said it is important the events ArtLoveMagic creates have a diverse group of artists willing to interactive with people who attend.
“ArtLoveMagic is not just about high-profile artists,” he said. “We’re looking for good people who want to do stuff to help others too. It goes beyond the paint you put on canvas.”
“It’s cool to see Dallas doing some-thing different,” said Dallas resident
Aften Owens.Christopher Garcia, a comic book
colorist for Marvel, said faith and spirituality inspire him to create his interactive anatomical figures that represent feelings and imagi-nation.
“I like engaging the viewer,” he said.
It takes months of hard work to prepare for an event like “Underground,” Lagocki said.
“[It’s] a labor of love, but worth it,” he said.
Lagocki said he gives credit to his time as a resident assistant at Clark Hall for teaching him the basics of how to set up events.
One of the biggest challenges with ArtLoveMagic has been the fact that

“Materials: Hard & Soft” is a national competition for artists with the ability to create an art piece using different media such as glass, fiber, paper, wood, metal, ceramics or mixed media.
The 24th annual exhibit is at the Meadows Gallery, located at 400 E. Hickory St., from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday for Admission is free and open to the public.
“We had just opened the building and we were looking for exhibitions with no budget,” said Georgia Gough, founder of the original exhibit and former UNT art professor. “The [Great Denton Arts Council] came up with this competition to give artists the opportunity to express them-selves with different [media].”
This year, there are 340 entries by 126 artists from 33 different states, said Margaret Chalfant, the execu-tive director of the Greater Denton
Arts Council. None of the partici-pants are UNT students.
Gough said she never expected the exhibit to be so successful.
The exhibit has grown in strength, spreading their reputation nation-wide, she said.
“Every year it’s different, because you are always getting new artists with new ideas,” Chalfant said. “This is the finest of craft across the country and a very prestigious show for both artists and viewers.” This is the only exhibit in the area focusing on craft and craft media, said Jennifer Wohlrab, an admin-istrative assistant of the Greater Denton Arts Council.
There is $5,000 awarded in the form of three juror awards and four honorable mentions.
Jurors, coming from around the country, are well-recognized artists.

he and the other board members lack backgrounds in business, Lagocki said.
The goal is to one day be able to fully employ the staff, he said.
L agock i sa id he hopes
ArtLoveMagic will continue to prosper.
“I’ll let fate decide,” he said. “But this is way bigger than money or a professional thing –– it’s a giving thing.”

Recently, I have noticed there is very little original material coming out of Hollywood. Very few movies come out that aren’t rehashes of movies that came before.
“Unknown,” starting Liam Neeson, borrows heavily from other thrillers, but proves to be greater than the sum of its parts.
The film follows Martin Harris (Neeson), a botanist who arrives in Berlin with his wife (January Jones) for an international bioscience confer-ence.

Jazz, classical and rock musicians are well-renowned in the contribu-tion to UNT’s sound.
Some might overlook the Denton hip-hop and R&B scene.
The music program is based on a conservatory music model, which takes longer to incorporate the recog-nition, composition and performance of more recent genres of music, said Eileen Hayes, a chairwoman of the music faculty.
“Can we expect the curriculum to keep up with popular music?” she said. “I think music schools attempt to give students exposure to broad and basic skills, but that is something for music programs to think about in the future.”
Students are still finding new ways to express themselves through a genre of hip-hop and R&B music not usually associated with Dallas hip-hop and R&B music artists.
Artists are making a conscious effort to differ from the norm of the “jig” genre, a native genre of the local Dallas hip-hop club scene. The genre consists typically of a rapper rapping instructions for a dance over hard bass

opposite problem, as it attempts to resolve all of its spare plot lines as quickly as possible.
The plot is a paint-by-numbers thriller. It feels like a lot of the elements were pulled from other movies, such as “Taken,” which also starred Neeson. While a liability, the film does bring out some twists that add an element of surprise.
Neeson proves to be a solid choice to play Harris. He has a genuine troubled quality to him that helps the audience connect.
However, when given Harris’s age, Neeson seems too old to play the role.
“Unknown” proves to be a flawed movie with enough charm to be still enjoyable, as long as you don’t take it too seriously.
and blaring synthesizers. Darnell Twine, an accounting
senior, said he supports himself by writing for, producing and recording hip-hop and R&B music artists in Denton.
Twinme said what makes UNT hip-hop and R&B music artists distinc-tive are their musical influences.
“Since this is more of a college town, we have more influences than someone who would only listen to club music,” Twimne said. “We still have a Dallas influence, but the music that the school has kind of rubs off on you.”
Donovan “K. MC” Payne, a radio, television and film junior, said he is a hip-hop artist who respects Dallas “jig” artists, but wishes to leave a legacy with more substance.
“It’s a skill to write a song like that,” Payne said. “There is an avenue for it, but it’s just not the lane I wanted to go.”
He said he performs in Texas, including Denton’s local venue Hailey’s.
Payne said the musical influence represents a diverse student body that listens a variety of music.
“So as long as the music is good, they are going to support it,” he said.
