Horned Frogs and Rangers fans face a dilemma

Published Oct 14, 2010

Many students have a tough decision to make on Saturday.

Two of Texas' top-ranked sports teams will start their games at the same time. The Horned Frogs football team takes on BYU at the annual Frogs for the Cure game at 3 p.m., and the Texas Rangers baseball team will make its first ever American League Championship Series appearance at the same time in Arlington against the New York Yankees.

Newly-installed ID card swipe will keep library exclusive to students

Newly-installed ID card swipe will keep library exclusive to students

Published Oct 13, 2010

A newly-installed ID card swipe outside of Mary Couts Burnett Library gives exclusive access to the library for students during the hours of midnight to 7 a.m., June Koelker, the dean of the library, said.

The new card swipe location is not for security purposes, but was implemented to enhance library use for students by keeping out non-students during the later hours, Koelker said.

Students entering will now have to swipe their TCU ID to get in the front door, then again at the turn-styles in the entryway.

Published Oct 13, 2010

As Athletics Director Chris Del Conte kicked off his department's town hall meetings Tuesday night in the Brown-Lupton University Union Ballroom, he painted Amon G. Carter Stadium as a monument to the university's uniqueness and can-do spirit despite concerns over the planned renovations.

"In 1930, when that stadium was built, we were coming through the [Great] Depression," Del Conte said. "In the hardest times in our nation, they decided to build something special at TCU. We're going through pretty tough times right now, aren't we?"

TCU demonstrated utter dominance and confidence against Wyoming

TCU demonstrated utter dominance and confidence against Wyoming

Published Oct 13, 2010

Last week I wrote a fairly critical article of the Horned Frogs football team. In that article, I argued that the Frogs needed to start showcasing their talent against weak teams, as opposed to merely chalking another mark in the win column. After TCU's 45-0 rout of Wyoming, I am convinced that head coach Gary Patterson reads and abides to my opinion. This has stoked and inflated my ego.

Regardless of whether the coaching staff actually reads my critique or not, TCU did what they needed to on Saturday.

Injustice continues to plague North Korea

Published Oct 13, 2010

Martin Luther King Jr. once said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. For more than 60 years, a great injustice has plagued the nation of North Korea, and the cries of its citizens have gone almost totally unheard abroad. Since the mid-1990s, an estimated two million people have died from malnutrition. The recent transfer of power from Kim Jong-il to his son, Kim Jong-un, should be a reminder of the atrocities committed by the North Korean government and a call to action against it.
