Super Bowl needs to realize its audience includes homosexuals too

Published Feb 12, 2010

An advertisement touting a gay dating Web site was rejected from the Super Bowl commercial line up, according to CNN.com. The ad, which features two men watching the game, begins with both men reaching for the chip bowl at the same time and ends with the two guys kissing passionately. It made me giggle out loud when I watched it, and it didn't seem any worse than the usual bevy of ads featuring bikini-wearing girls, sexual entendres or scantily clad members of both sexes. So why was it pulled?

Letter to the Editor: Participation in meeting mischaracterized

Published Feb 11, 2010

I would like to correct some information that ran in the Daily Skiff concerning why Dustin Naegle and Erin House were in attendance at the SGA meeting Tuesday night. We were simply there to answer any questions regarding the services offered at Froggie Five-0. A statement in Wednesday's article that "Sadeghi passed both his resolutions with the help of Erin House, a dispatcher for Froggie Five-O, and Dustin Naegle, head supervisor for the safety-escort service" is a gross misrepresentation of our role at that meeting.

Author William Paul Young said he wasn't trying to write a best-seller when he wrote "The Shack." He merely wrote the story for his six children, with no intention of it being published, according to the author's Web site.

Young will speak tonight as part of the Ministers Week activities sponsored by Brite Divinity School.



"The Shack," which was on The New York Times Best-Seller List for nearly a year, is a story that offers a unique perspective on the nature of God, especially in the midst of suffering, according to Brite's Web site.

Community reflects on President Obama’s first year

Published Feb 11, 2010

Despite differing perspectives on campus and around the community, there is a consensus that President Barack Obama had a complicated first year. However, community members will not as easily agree on his approach to health care.

Steve Maxwell, a Fort Worth attorney and chairman of the Tarrant County Democratic Party, said Obama's first year has been a roller coaster filled with wars, economic crises and bipartisan discord.



"To take that on, just in and of itself, to be able to process it all, is an accomplishment all by itself," Maxwell said.
