After watching Barcelona's Lionel Messi single-handedly (footedly?) destroy my beloved Arsenals' chances of advancing in the UEFA Champions League by scoring four goals Tuesday night, comparisons to the greatest Argentinean player, Diego Maradona, began running through my head.

There have probably been plenty of debates already about who is better, so I figured I would throw my hat in the ring and compare Messi and Maradona.

I'd like to respond to Michael Lauck's column "Unpaid internship laws misguided." His premise is that new regulations make business into "charitable organizations." As a computer science major, I had two internships, one at a large company, and one at a small company. Both were paid internships. Neither company was being "charitable" as they were receiving services they paid for. The fact of the matter is that these laws prevent companies from abusing students in a down economy to get free labor.

You may have seen her on the Horned Frog soccer posters all year, but having her face plastered all over campus isn't what made Kelly Faerber feel like a celebrity.As the senior player reflected on her...

The TCU club lacrosse team huddles under the stadium lights at Fort Worth Country Day High School after a 19-6 win over the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. The players are bruised, panting and sweaty as they come together, but they are jumping and screaming with excitement. After the players breaks for the night, they gather smelly bags full of pads and equipment and head to Buffalo Bros., a local restaurant. They spend hours laughing, eating and celebrating their win - and their sport.

But it wasn't always that way.

Following a pair of e-mail hacking attempts in January and February, knowledge of possible scamming tactics could help prevent students from becoming bait for online phishers, a representative for Information Security Services said.

University Technology Resources detected the phishing attacks on faculty, staff and students via the university e-mail system within two months of one another, said Barbara McClellan, an information security engineer. The close timing of these attacks means students should be more aware of how to prevent this problem, she said.

It requires the athletic endurance of soccer, the passing skills of football and the quick-paced offense-defense turnover of basketball. Players sprint past opponents, cutting in and out as they zigzag their way toward the goal, the light plastic disc constantly sailing on the air between them. They fervently chase after the disc and sacrifice their bodies as they dive into the ground for a stray pass while dodging opponents.

Some of you out there may be looking for an internship this summer to improve your resume. Hopefully, you'll get paid to do it, but if you don't, at least you will get some experience under your belt.

According to an article in The New York Times, some states and the federal government feel it is their responsibility to make sure you are not taken advantage of. Now, the U.S. Department of Labor is going to start cracking down on firms that may violate rules of unpaid internships.

Calls to reform or eliminate tenure in academia have been ongoing for years. In late January, Ohio State University President Gordon Gee, the leader of the country's largest university and a prominent...

A documentary detailing the travels of a group of college-aged men across Europe as they challenge their preconceptions of religion will screen tonight as part of this year's Greek Week.

According to Web site of the film "Beware of Christians," the venture chronicles the travels of friends Alex Carroll, Matt Owen, Michael Allen and Will Bakke, who grew up in Texas, as they attempt to find the true meaning of Christianity.

While some were getting some sun on the beach during spring break, Erykah Badu was getting what many might consider too much sun on a famous Dallas street.

For the "Window Seat" music video, Badu walked through Dealey Plaza, the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, while removing her clothing, piece by piece, before she fell completely bare on the very spot where Kennedy was shot.

Students from the John V. Roach Honors College will have seats in the House of Student Representatives for the first time following the student government elections on April 20.

The four new Honors College seats were added as part of the House's annual appropriation of delegates to different colleges. The resolution was one of four pieces of legislation discussed in the House meeting Tuesday night.

With other comparable schools like Baylor University and Rice University charging students an annual fee that nears or is more than $100, and with no increases to the TCU student body fee since 2005 , it was warranted for the Student Government Association to propose to raise the annual student body fee from $48 a year to $90.

While an increase in the student body fee is merited, SGA should re-examine how that funding will be allocated if the Board of Trustees approves the proposal.
