I strolled UTA’s campus to find out just how much UTA students really know about their own campus. Few were very educated in their UTA knowledge and some seemed in the dark.

The Grammy-nominated superstar Drake will perform March 2, 2012 in what will be the inaugural concert for the new $78 million College Park Center here at UTA.  The College Park Center arena has a capacity of 7,000 seats and will be the new home court for UT Arlington basketball and volleyball but also will serve as a commencement exercises, concerts and other major events. The tickets for the concert have already been sold out a month before the event. After knowing this success, students told us who they would like to see performing at the new arena in the future.

The curtain closed on Texas Hall after a UTA 63-54 victory over Stephen F. Austin. The Mavericks moved to 13-5 overall as LaMarcus Reed hit a couple of key field goals down the the stretch to close out the Lumberjacks. After the game finished, the curtain literally came down to mark the end of the Texas Hall era. It was an emotional night as well as an exciting night because the crowd knew the countdown was on. UTA head basketball coach Scott Cross pumped up the fans and encouraged them to bring the noise to the new College Park Center. The new arena opens on February 1st with a UTA men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader versus UTSA.

On December 30th of  2010, the city of Arlington lost an icon:  Tom Vandergriff. At a courthouse where he served as county judge for 16 years and in a city where he was mayor for more than 25, mourners gathered last January for the viewing of the man many called “Mr. Arlington.”  Vandergriff’s Memorial at Texas Hall, honored his pivotal role in moving UTA from a 2-year college to a 4-year research institution.  UTA’s most recent honor is “Vandergriff Hall”, a residence hall in the new College Park District. He is remembered for contributing to the broad expansion of Arlington and DFW.  He died at age 84 but many would say his legacy will live on.

Store Brands vs. Name Brands

According to the U.S. Department of  Education college students, on adverage, carry an estimated 25,000.00 worth of debt upon graduation. During these turbulent economic  times,  some students struggle with staying afloat financially. One way to combat these challenges is by strategic shopping. Many local retailers offer  “their own version” of famously known products. These items are usually sold at lower prices, and even so, some consumers still remain reluctant . One common stereotype that  people have about  off-brands, is that the quality is not as good as the name brand.  However, recent surveys revealed that may not entirely be the case.

Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Review

What a way to start off the semester is all I can say. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is one of two Zelda games to be released for the 25th anniversary of the series, the other being the remade Ocarina of Time for 3DS.. but anyways, let’s get down to it. Skyward Sword is a very solid game, which is something Nintendo has been struggling with as of late. For not being in HD, Skyward Sword’s art direction is amazing. The same can also be said for its musical score which in and of it’s self could stand alone as a masterpiece. Honestly the only real problems I have are that they really didn’t utilize the sky area well for exploration and the surface areas felt very linear at times but overall it still wowed me into a 9 out of 10.
