I found a link that might help you iPhone owners out if you’re having problems connecting to the wifi on campus:

http://www.uta.edu/oit/ns/connections/wireless/iphone-manual-WebLogin.php

Description:

How to connect the iPhone and iPod Touch to the “UTA Web Login” wireless network. Requires iPhone OS 2.0 or later. The following documentation was created while configuring an iPod Touch; your experience may vary.

iPhone and iPod Touch devices are minimally supported by UTA at this time. The information provided here is an example of a successful configuration and should serve as a guide for configuring your own device. UTA assumes no responsibility for following these instructions, nor does it represent that this is the only way to connect to the wireless network.

Just a reminder to get your tuition paid by midnight tonight or you’ll get dropped from your classes! If you’re having difficulties coming up with the scratch, check out the payment plan. You’ll need to come up with 1/3 of it, but you’ll get to keep your classes

UPDATE: The deadline has been extended by 24 hours!

I ate there over the summer and everyone at the office gave great reviews about them. They’re not skimpy on the ingredients and it was made fresh for us. From ball of dough to pizza in a box. They also have some great desserts! When I went, he had a special BANANA CREAM CHEESECAKE. Very awesome! They’re prices are good, they have student specials and they’re right next to campus. Just drive East on UTA Blvd and you’ll see them on your right.

And no, I wasn’t paid to write this

Hope you guys had a good summer! Welcome back to the lack of parking, expensive books, ridiculously slow financial aid process and lazy squirrels! Yes, I said lazy squirrels. Just watch them sometime. I think that should be UTA’s new mascot. UT Arlington- Home of the fighting lazy squirrels! Happy new semester!

Maverick Pride is having more people show up in the stands of our first away Club Football team game than the home team had. Maverick Pride is still shouting and cheering for our team even when we’re losing. Maverick Pride is yelling so much at the other team that we get a flag for “taunting”. Maverick Pride is losing by more than 50 points, but still having more fans in the stands than the home team, cheering the whole time.

Thanks to the players for all the work and hardships you’ve gone through. Thanks to the fans for coming out and supporting the team. I’ll see you out there next week!

Comics Storytelling: Scott McCloud Tells All  
(Lectures/Talks)
Today, 6:30pm - 8:00pm
 

The Department of Computer Science & Engineering and Sabre Holdings present comics artist and author Scott McCloud, currently on his “Making Comics 50 State Tour.” Comics are changing fast, both in the kinds of stories they tell and how their creators tell them. Thanks to the “graphic novel” movement, the manga invasion and the growth of webcomics, the story of comics in America is more exciting and unpredictable than ever. Scott McCloud puts all these trends into perspective in a fast-moving visual presentation.
Reception begins at 6:00pm. Everyone welcome.
