Nobel Prize winner visits honors students

Published Oct 15, 2010

People must question the information they encounter, Nobel Prize winner Harry Kroto told students and faculty crowded in the Brown-Lupton University Union Ballroom Thursday night.

"Without evidence, anything goes," Kroto said.

Young people must look at the evidence to determine truth for themselves. Science is importance because it teaches people to challenge what they know, he said.

University needs to do more than declare itself “green”

Published Oct 15, 2010

By the end of October, the Environmental Protection Agency will have completed a proposal requiring states to meet a new national standard for ozone levels in the air. The standard of 85 parts-per-billion of ozone chemicals in the air could be lowered up to 30 percent.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area has been breaking that standard for quite some time. What is surprising is the lack of action taken to try and improve not only the region's emission levels, but also the university's commitment to living green.

Published Oct 14, 2010

The TCU football schedule starts to get tougher this weekend with a game against Brigham Young University. BYU has had a rough season so far, losing four straight games until it looked much better in a win against San Diego State University this past week. After that win, the Cougars will be fired up when they roll into Amon G. Carter Stadium on Saturday. Last week the Horned Frogs shut out Wyoming and the defense will look to continue dominating opponents. TCU is currently top-ranked in the nation in total defense.

BYU game one of the most anticipated games each season

Published Oct 14, 2010

Since the TCU's arrival in the Mountain West Conference, its rivalry with BYU has quickly grown into one of the most anticipated games of each season for the Horned Frogs.

Although the last two match-ups between the two ended in lopsided victories for the Frogs who won 32-7 in 2008 in Fort Worth before beating the Cougars 38-7 last season in Provo, Utah, with the conference championship at stake most years, the rivalry has quickly grown in intensity.

TCU even went as far as to place a BYU helmet on one of its tackling dummmies to motivate players for the game in 2008.
