Rivals TCU and Baylor meet once again on the field

Published Sep 16, 2010

An undefeated Horned Frogs team led by Davey O'Brien crushed an undefeated Baylor University Bears squad 39-7 on Oct. 29, 1938 before going on to win the national championship.

On Saturday, in front of a sold-out crowd at Amon G. Carter Stadium, the Frogs will face a Baylor team that's 2-0 for the first time since 2005.

Quarterback Andy Dalton made his collegiate debut in 2007 against Baylor. As a redshirt freshman, he threw for 205 yards and a touchdown, leading the Frogs to a 27-0 victory.

Events for the university's annual Family Weekend begin today with tonight's candlelit campus tour and a dessert reception in the library, senior strategic communications major Kennedy Stewart said.

Stewart said she is both volunteering and participating this weekend, and will have her parents here for Family Weekend for the first time. Her parents have visited her on campus before, but were never been able to attend Family Weekend until now, she said.

Stewart said she will work with younger siblings of university students at Future Frog Camp on Saturday morning.

American sex ed should emulate the Dutch

American sex ed should emulate the Dutch

"Just say no."

If you attended public school anywhere in the Midwest or South, regions collectively referred to as the Bible Belt, it's probably safe to say you are familiar with this position on sex, drugs and alcohol.

However, recent studies show Americans could learn a thing or two about teen sex from the Dutch.

In her study "Sex, love, and autonomy in the teenage sleepover," sociologist Amy Schalet examined attitudes towards teen sexuality in the Netherlands compared to those of the United States, highlighting the acceptance and progressiveness of the former.

From starting near Hell's Half Acre to its time in Thorp Spring, Texas, to the fire that destroyed the Waco facilities, the university is finally able to celebrate its 100th anniversary in a hometown.

From the days when the old groundskeeper Cowboy Monroe would spray students with his garden hose if they dared step on the grass to when some pranksters placed a local cow in President Waits' office, the university has a rich history in Fort Worth.

Film Review: Machete

Film Review: Machete

Published Sep 16, 2010

Are you looking for a gritty action movie with a low-budget feel, but big-name actors? Then "Machete" is for you. How about a political movie where every nook and cranny is filled with serious, literal allegories to the present immigration situation? If that's the case, probably not.

While most don't take it that way, some people on the far right believe it is a call to action, which is obviously nonsense when you view the film.

Freedom of speech deserves day of honor

Published Sep 16, 2010

As tempting as it may be to silence flag burners or to censor those opinions we'd rather not hear, we must appreciate the privilege we have been given to live in a country that provides each of us with both guidelines and freedom.

Though allowing certain viewpoints to flourish might make us cringe, it is still important that Americans remember to appreciate the laws and freedoms provided for in the Constitution.

No need to fret when there?s no plan after graduation

No need to fret when there?s no plan after graduation

Published Sep 15, 2010

As a senior in my last semester of college, I've encountered one question more than any other: "What are you doing after graduation?"

There is no question I dread answering more.

Growing up, everyone goes through a laundry list of possible career options: ballerina, doctor, marine biologist, rock star, but eventually most people settle on one. But what about those of us who can't? We have to suffer the embarrassment of answering, "I don't know yet."

There is no reason to be embarrassed.
