Sometimes you just need to go out for a Sunday drive.The adage is cliche, but it is one of those activities that helps to clear one's head before another dose of the daily grind takes its toll.

I forgot about the comfort of this activity until last weekend during my return from the Austin exodus that was TCU versus UT. While driving through scattered showers and standstill traffic on Interstate 35 with a couple of my close friends, we took the time to realize how nice it is to sit down and relax.

It's a 9-year-old girl.The market research firm NPD Group's third annual Kids and Consumer Electronics Trends report found that the average age children first use electronics is lowering.

With this in mind, it seems only logical that there should be enough housing for all freshman and sophomore students - no matter their gender.

Still there are 20 students without fixed housing and all of them are male.
