ARTS & LIFE: Shiloh Garden hosts its first-ever pumpkin festival, blending Halloween fun with gardening

As visitors of all ages weaved through the Shiloh Field Community Garden, they passed by rows of zucchini, sweet potatoes and yellow squash. As the hayride they were on rolled along, children waved to chickens clucking inside their coop, the children’s laughter echoing throughout the garden.

The garden, located on Nottingham Drive near Mingo Road, hosted its first-ever pumpkin festival on Saturday, Oct. 4. The event was part of Denton’s 31 Days of Halloween. It featured a pumpkin patch, scarecrows with pumpkin heads, hayrides and other family-friendly activities.

Christina Proctor, a volunteer operating the event and board president of Friends of Shiloh Garden, the nonprofit organization that operates the garden, said the event was a great opportunity for people to learn about what the garden has to offer.

SPORTS: COLUMN: South Florida will be the biggest regular-season game on Mean Green’s schedule

It is safe to say this year’s North Texas football team has already made history. A 5-0 start to the year stands as the best start since “Mean” Joe Greene, university football legend, was 13 years old in 1959. Based on how the team is performing, the team is on its way to recording its first winning season since 2018.

The race to the finish line does not come without obstacles, however. The bumps in the road may start to come into sight on Friday, Oct. 10, when North Texas plays its home conference opener against No. 24 University of South Florida.

The university officially cancelled classes after 12 p.m. on the Oct. 10 game to increase campus attendance for the historic matchup. The decision’s intentions are rightfully placed, as this game makes a case to be the most important regular-season game for the team this season.

SPORTS: North Texas athletic department reports first sellout crowd at DATCU Stadium in program history

The North Texas athletics department announced on Oct. 9 that Friday’s game against No. 24 South Florida has been sold out.

Reaching maximum capacity has been a feat the department has tried to tackle since the stadium’s inception of DATCU Stadium in 2011, a 30,100-ticket milestone now conquered.

“This is a tremendous moment for our program, our fans, and the entire Mean Green family,” said Jared Mosley, vice president and director of athletics in a press release. “The passion and support we’re seeing across Denton and beyond show what’s possible when our community rallies behind this team. DATCU Stadium is going to be rocking.”

NEWS: The Wall Street Journal names Texas Woman’s University a leading public university in North Texas

Texas Woman’s University was ranked among the nation’s top 500 colleges by the Wall Street Journal for 2026, placing second in the North Texas area and seventh among public universities in Texas.

The annual ranking, which measures student experience, career preparation and return on investment, offers a snapshot of how well universities support students during and after college, from graduation outcomes to long-term career success.

“This recognition reflects Texas Woman’s pioneering spirit — opportunity paired with excellence, grit matched with grace,” TWU Chancellor Carine Feyten said in an emailed statement to the North Texas Daily. “Our graduates carry that spirit forward as leaders in their professions and communities, improving the well-being of their families and of society at large.”

SPORTS: Previewing North Texas football’s matchup against No. 24 South Florida

North Texas football (5-0, 1-0 American Conference) will face its hardest test in its first-ranked opponent yet on Oct. 10, as the No. 24 South Florida Bulls come to Denton.

South Florida (4-1, 1-0 American) stampedes into Friday in the midst of a declarative season, having ranked wins against Florida and Boise State already on its resume. They recently beat Charlotte (1-4, 0-2 American) 54-26, earning the No. 24 ranking in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 College Football Poll.

“They’re creating havoc,” head coach Eric Morris said. “I just think that the havoc that they’re able to create on both sides of the ball is something that’s really impressive when you turn on [the film].”

NEWS: New LEAPH program launches, provides space for interdisciplinary projects

The College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences recently launched the Lab for Engaged, Applied, and Public Humanities, aiming to provide a space for students, faculty and community members to develop skills through interdisciplinary projects.

The lab, located in room 370 of the Environmental Education, Science, and Technology Building, provides a conference space and a separate, soundproofed podcast room equipped with facilities such as a greenscreen and cameras. The equipment was primarily relocated from the Advanced Humanities Lab, with additional contributions from other humanities departments.

The launch of LEAPH comes after the finalization of the humanities department’s new Digital Humanities Certificate for the fall 2026 curriculum, according to Jennifer Wallach, CLASS divisional dean of humanities and history professor.

SPORTS: University’s club baseball team continues to grow while Division I conversations remain stagnant

North Texas and NCAA baseball have struggled to work in tandem since the Mean Green last fielded a team in 1988. Alumni-led groups have garnered support in reviving the program.

The Division I program originally lasted five seasons before it was disbanded to comply with Title IX, a federal law preventing sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities.

Baseball reverted to its roots as a club sport. Junior Eli Melnick has now become the current president of the university’s baseball club, adding to the history of the school’s oldest and only baseball team.

THE DOSE: Skate. fails to ride high as the latest entry in the series crashes spectacularly

After more than four years in development, skate. is now being released into early access. It is safe to say the franchise's newest entry has been wiped out before it ever got the board rolling.

Skate., developed by Full Circle and some original members of the Skate development team, fails spectacularly in reviving the soul of the older titles. Published by EA, it is positioned as an online-only, live-service and free-to-play title aiming to attract a new audience of young skaters. The game is in early access, and its unfinished state is evident from the start.

Skate. feels soulless and corporate compared to its iconic predecessor. During the early 2010s, when Skate 3 was initially released, the legendary Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise entered a grim fate, as the fifth entry in the series failed to meet the expectations of critics and fans.

THE DOSE: Doja Cat to ‘come back’ to life, blends mix of ‘80s inspiration and love of pop in ‘Vie’

Just over two years after calling her fourth album, “Scarlet” (2023) a “massive fart,” hip-hop artist Doja Cat returns to her pop music roots with her 2025 studio album, "Vie.”

Heavily inspired by the retro sounds of the ‘80s, her newest French romance-inspired project, released on Sept. 26, focuses on themes of “love, romance, and sex.” Vie, a French word translating to “life” in English, features 15 tracks with a runtime of just under 50 minutes, making it her shortest album yet, but it does not disappoint.

The project opens with a captivating saxophone melody in "Cards," which sets the tone for what is to come. With lyrics like “Play your cards right,” Doja Cat cleverly alludes to the themes of decision-making and the risks that can lead to rewards.
