Movie Review – Prime

Published Nov 3, 2005

Differences make relationships much more difficult.Race has always been the difference movies latch on to, but religion and age are pretty important as well.

While differences make the main characters' relationship difficult in the new movie "Prime," what they share makes things worse - What if you told your therapist intimate details about your new love-interest only to find out your therapist was your significant other's mother?

Avian flu preparations sufficient

Published Nov 3, 2005

While there are certainly some people that haven't even heard of the Avian flu - or as it is commonly called, bird flu - others have deemed the disease an imminent threat.The disease is a strain of influenza found in birds to which humans have not built up a natural immunity.

Even though the virus, at this time, has only passed from bird to human and not from human to human, many agencies around the world have been tracking the spread of the virus in hopes of containing it.

Federal plan to reduce aid could add to student loans

Published Nov 3, 2005

An additional $5,800 could be added to the average student debt if Congress passes a resolution that would be the largest budget cut in student aid history, according to studentaidaction.com.If passed, House Resolution 609 would cut $9 billion from federal student loans programs, which would increase interest rates from 6.8 percent to 8.25 percent. The resolution would also put a $6,000 cap on Pell Grants, which are need-based aid that doesn't need to be repaid, according to the United States Student Association.

Mexican restaurant serves up taste, value

Published Nov 3, 2005

Tucked away on Pulido Street next to the Mecca for sororities and fraternities, Brown Bag, Pulido's is a little Mexican joint that claims to have the best reasonably priced Mexican food in town. After hearing friends rave, especially about Pulido's breakfast, I had to check it out for myself.Just off West Vickery Boulevard, Pulido's appears to be one of those old-fashioned mom and pop restaurants you hear about from the '60s. The owner greets you at the door, and I noticed most people migrate to their usual tables as they catch up with their waiter.

Students responsible for safety

Published Nov 2, 2005

The campus has grown accustomed to the inevitable car break-in.Many tried to just shrug off the infamous "I (heart) SMU" prank.

In these cases there were at least groups, other than TCU students, to blame: a criminal expounding with pride his frequent car break-in outings; incredibly sneaky University Park dwellers with shoe polish; and, of course, the TCU Police and their lack of security cameras in certain areas around campus.

Dinner is served

Published Nov 2, 2005

The topic of food on campus is like the lack of facility space and student parking - it's endlessly debated. Students often complain about the variety of dining plans and the cost of food, but TCU administrators, Sodexho managers and Student Government Association officers maintain that students are getting a better deal than they think.

A common complaint among 100 TCU students interviewed was that dining plans cannot be used at surrounding community restaurants, like many other university students are able to do.

Girl code at TCU shaky: Be a friend, change the trend

Girl code at TCU shaky: Be a friend, change the trend

Published Nov 2, 2005

Girl code. The unspoken rule among females, which says you cannot hook up with a friend's ex, brother, "friend," your ex-boyfriend's friends, etc. Girls are indoctrinated with this rule from birth on and have had it ingrained in their heads by the time puberty hits. You know that guy your friend kissed on the monkey bars in third grade? Well, she wouldn't share her crayons with you for the next month because she heard you held hands with him on the soccer field. So, not OK.

Your View

Published Nov 2, 2005

I write in response to an article printed Thursday, Oct. 27, talking about Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry saying that the loss to TCU is from a lack of black players. He makes the comment that black players run faster, and that that is why they lost the game. That might be true; it might not be true.What I cannot understand is why this political correctness has gone so far that it has become ridiculous. It seems to me that no one can say anything anymore without being reprimanded for their comments.
