MIAMI (AP) - Former Oakland Raiders and TCU Horned Frog center Barret Robbins was charged Wednesday with three counts of attempted felony murder, less than a week after being shot during a furious struggle with three police officers investigating a burglary call. Robbins, a former Pro Bowler, was wounded Saturday night after Miami Beach police found him inside a women's restroom in a building housing a pub, a gym and a jewelry store. The pub owner called police after Robbins forced his way inside the building and refused to leave, a police report said.

What has the New Year brought to the world?Since the beginning of 2005, the Middle East has been facing chronic unrest. The potential for a legitimate Iraqi election by the end of the month is declining. Furthermore, the death toll of American soldiers in Iraq is nearing 1,500, and the civilian body count has surpassed 15,000. The recent tsunami in East Asia has taken almost 160,000 lives, and malaria threatens to take 100,000 more. And how is America reacting?

We're celebrating.

You elected five new student body officers on Nov. 9, 2004. Did you vote for them because they were your friends? Or did you vote for them because you believed in their campaign? I hope your reason was the latter.2005 is going to be a progressive and exciting year for the Student Government Association and TCU as a whole. We have hit the ground running with initiatives that will create tangible improvements for the whole student body.

As I wrote this, I hadn't yet boarded, but experience told me that, as a single traveler, I'd be getting a seat in the front of the plane - an ideal place if you don't mind being wedged in with an older couple wearing matching sweat suits.And I don't. Southwest's first-come, first-seated policy works for me.

As the world makes its annual trip into holiday-fueled "couple craziness," it's important for single folks to carve out their own place so they don't feel left behind in the season of togetherness.

The parking lot adjacent to Tucker Technology Center and Sid Richardson Building has been closed.But don't start to grumble just yet.

Although 300 students must make a detour from the lot, they haven't been completely forgotten.

It seems TCU officials planned ahead for the possible inconvenience --- and for a solution.

The TCU TRAC has been up and running since the start of the fall semester before plans for the privately owned apartment center known as GrandMarc at Westberry Place were even finalized.

Student Government Association President David Watson says he is in the process of making several changes within SGA."I've been very involved with student government, and over time I've created a vision for student government and seen its potential," Watson said.

Watson, a junior entrepreneurial management major, previously served as a representative, permanent improvements chairman and treasurer.

After working as treasurer, Watson said he can create a better system to disperse activities funding than the system in place.
