Organizers for the second annual TCU Tunnel of Oppression aim to bring awareness about various issues of oppression to more people than the 500 who attended last year, university officials said.

The Tunnel of Oppression, an interactive walkthrough designed to promote awareness of oppression issues from all around the world, will give students the opportunity to see the issues from a new perspective, Moncrief Hall Director Trisha Teig said.

Teig said that the event is sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs as a part of TCU CommUNITY Week.

The student publications committee selected the fall 2010 Daily Skiff editor-in-chief, advertising manager, TCU News Now news director and Image editor-in-chief Friday.

Junior Libby Davis, the newly chosen fall 2010 Skiff editor-in-chief, said she has several goals to improve the Daily Skiff, such as incorporating more student and faculty opinion into the paper.

The selection committee is made up of journalism faculty, non-journalism faculty, and journalism and non-journalism students, said Davis, a news-editorial journalism and history major.

It is unfortunate that during a period called "CommUNITY Week" intended to bring diverse groups together, Peace Action created an exhibit clearly meant to increase rather than reduce divisiveness. Presenting the destruction of Palestinian villages by Israel in 1948 without also stating that destruction occurred on both sides as the result of a war initiated by the invasion of Israel by Eqypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan seems to be a deliberate disregard for history that is wrong in general and specifically inappropriate in an academic setting.

CommUNITY week at TCU has gone full circle this year and has truly proved that diversity of opinion and tolerance of differing perspectives are welcome on our campus. With the Tunnel of Oppression representing...

A flag display arranged this week on the Campus Commons detailing the destruction of Palestinian villages in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War has raised objections from the university's Jewish organization.

Hillel president Daniel Zidell, a sophomore pre-major, said the university's Peace Action group flag display neglected to mention certain facts in its remembrance of Palestinian villages destroyed by Israel in 1948, such as the fact that Israel was defending itself from Arab attacks.

University students, staff members and Fort Worth residents are participating in the creation of a community garden in the Fairmount Historic District as part of the Fort Worth Sustainability Task Force, a group created in January to investigate ways to ensure that the city infrastructure and resources can keep up with city growth.

The first community garden, located at Fifth Avenue and West Maddox Avenue, is less than three miles from campus.

Being a woman in the military can be challenging. Being a mother in the military is a whole different ball game. According to The New York Times, more than 100,000 mothers have served in the war, which is roughly half of the women who were deployed.

When mothers leave home to go to Iraq, they are sometimes leaving several children or a baby who is only a few months old and still nursing. Some mothers are struggling to find childcare if they are single moms without family support.

Sophomore Lindsey Lubrano said she and a group of students worked on a research project in which they surveyed 100 students about their perception of computer hackers.

Lubrano, a criminal justice major, said she and her group asked students questions such as how dangerous they thought computer hackers were and if the government should do things to prevent hacking.

Lubrano and many other AddRan students will present their research on April 16 at the Brown-Lupton University Union during the Festival of Undergraduate Scholarship and Creativity.

While America has come far in achieving diversity, it still has much work ahead, said a former Tarrant County district judge during the first live broadcast of "The Alex Turner Show," a campus radio talk show.

"We have moved forward to an extent, but we have not made it to the promise land yet," said Clifford Davis, who as an attorney helped integrate the Mansfield and Fort Worth independent school districts and worked in the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which declared separate schools for blacks and whites unconstitutional.

The multimillion-dollar renovation of Amon Carter Stadium could begin as early as the end of next football season after the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the initiative Friday, officials said.The...

Sophomore psychology major Eric Russell likes Market Square just fine but he said the dining experience can get boring. Especially when trying to eat healthy, Russell said, his options seem slim.

"Sometimes I feel myself eating the same thing every day because of the lack of variety, especially the time between lunch and dinner," he said.

The Dining Services Committee of the Student Government Association is launching a new program to help students like Russell find variety in Market Square.
