  MEAN GREEN BOOMER!  
In a recent issue we asked, "What does it mean when Boomer, the UNT canon, is fired during a game?" The correct answer is, the canon is fired to signal kick-off, Mean Green scores, half-time and the end of football games. Boomer is also used to signify other important events like, University Day.
Thank you to everyone who participated and be ready for the next trivia contest in June.
