Taxes show inequality toward LGBT community

Published Apr 16, 2010

Tax day hardly ever draws elated responses from anyone. However, the real victims of April 15 belong to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

So much is unfair concerning the U.S. tax system and same-sex married couples that it is almost comical, but unfortunately, this situation is a grim-faced and hard reality for many LGBT members.



Tax season is a sad reminder for same-sex couples of the ridiculous and outrageous double standards they face in the eyes and policies of the government.

Tax policies should be the next reform

Published Apr 16, 2010

Yesterday was April 15, and people rushed, pushed and honked many horns to get their taxes into the post office.

Despite what you hear from both conservatives and liberals, a libertarian, like me, is not against government and taxes. That's what we call an anarchist. However, I do have my complaints about the tax system and believe there could be some wealth-producing changes.



Our system is way too complicated. It's so complicated, in fact, that many people hire someone to do their taxes.

Letter to the Editor: There are better safety precautions than speed bumps

Published Apr 16, 2010

While safety is of primary importance, installing speed bumps on Stadium Drive is not the best solution. Lowered speed limits, enhanced enforcement and, especially, improvements to the intersection in front of the BLUU are better options. A bus and a speed bump make a very uncomfortable duo. There is also a difference between a speed bump and a speed hump. I don't believe the City of Fort Worth installs speed bumps anymore. As the president of my neighborhood association, I also know the city is very reluctant to install speed humps.

Published Apr 16, 2010

Members of the equestrian team will enter this weekend's Varsity Equestrian National Championships with an odd matchup in the individuals bracket - they will be facing themselves in the opening round Friday.

Senior Carrie von Uhlit and junior Kelsey Huffman will face each other in the opening round of the individual competition around 3:15 p.m., something that head coach Gary Reynolds said was an odd situation that went away from the seeding formula.

Marine Corps group aims to garner support for on-campus candidates

Published Apr 15, 2010

Members of a new club called Semper Frogs plan to bring the camaraderie of the U.S. Marine Corps to campus.

Senior advertising/public relations major Mandy Carnes, founder of the club, said she wanted to tie in the Marine Corps' motto of Semper Fidelis, which means "always faithful," with the university.



"Since we are the Horned Frogs and the Marine Corps is our main emphasis, I chose Semper Frogs as the name, meaning that we will always be a frog," Carnes said.
