SGA transperancy, awareness increases with student participation

Published Oct 4, 2010

The TCU Student Government Association performs complicated and demanding tasks through a network of branches, committees and advisors. The student body cannot hope to gain full awareness of each decision occurring in its government. However, one of the most significant changes in student government since the end of the last academic year has been the transition of much student programming authority from the Programming Council to a newly-minted organization known as TheCrew.

The win was the first road shutout under head football coach Gary Patterson in his ten seasons as head coach. The last road shutout was a 24-0 win in 2000 against Navy when Patterson was the Frogs defensive coordinator.

TCU will dominate Colorado State

Published Sep 30, 2010

With an undefeated season and many accolades under its belt, TCU is going to dominate the first conference game against Colorado State at Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo.

Last week, senior quarterback Andy Dalton threw two interceptions against SMU, which gave the Mustangs a 17-14 lead early in the third quarter. Coming off a game that shouldn't have been that close, Dalton should redeem himself in Colorado. After an injury sidelined him for his first appearance at Fort Collins in 2008, Dalton will have his first career start at Hughes Stadium.

Changing gun laws will be ineffective

A gunman fired several shots on the University of Texas at Austin campus Monday before killing himself on the sixth floor of the Perry-Castañeda library. Fortunately, no one else was harmed in the incident,however, it does highlight a major issue affecting college campuses around the country: the right to bear arms on campus. Most campuses do not allow civilians to carry guns and I believe this incident is another reminder of what a mistake that is.

The future of the country depends on teachers

Published Sep 30, 2010

Dear Skiff Editors,

I was confused and a little annoyed this morning when I opened my paper to a piece entitled "Teachers already well-off in salary." I became more upset as I continued to read the article. I found Mr. Lauck's opinion predictably stereotypical of what teachers have been battling for decades, starting with his presumption that teachers "wish [they] made more money."
