Success of students benefit TCU greatly

Over the past month, the Daily Skiff has been peppered with stories of enterprising students. In September, senior Brent Skoda was named a finalist in the Global Student Entrepreneur of the Year competition for his unique and successful business, collegefitness.com. Today, the paper features two different food delivery businesses, both started and run by students.

It is great to see students who not only work hard enough to run a business while juggling a full load of classes but who are creative in their endeavors.

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."

The greatest reward parents can give their children is verbal praise, an early childhood and parent trainer said Thursday at a parenting workshop for faculty and staff.

That was part of the advice passed on by DeVonna Wicks, who gave a presentation titled "Developing Responsible and Independent Children." The "Lunch and Learn" event was a part of the Child Care Network, which is a pilot program through Camp Fire USA.

Martin Luther King, Jr. made a timeless point when he said, "Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness." An act of violence, in general, is bad enough. Add to that the possibility of worsening or encouraging that act, especially when such action would be preventable, and you have exactly the issue I have with allowing college students to carry guns on campus.
