Obama needs to reclaim spark of his campaign

Obama needs to reclaim spark of his campaign

Published Nov 4, 2009

I believe the words "eloquent" and "Obama" are synonymous. Whether you love President Barack Obama or despise him, I think we can all agree that he is an excellent, engaging orator. During his campaign, Obama's speeches and messages incited passion and hope in many of the most pessimistic Americans. Now, nearly a year into his presidency, it is obvious Obama has encountered some substantial roadblocks and is taking some hits in the popularity department. He needs to reignite the passion of his campaign.

Teens doing more to help pay for college study shows

Published Nov 4, 2009

University graduate student Mary Cassaro said her parents taught her the importance of smart saving skills early on. Around age 12, years before higher education was on her mind, she said money earned from the occasional baby-sitting job allowed her to begin a bank account of her own.

"I think that when emergency situations did come it was nice that (the money) was there," Cassaro said. "It was a last resort kind of thing, but it has helped with everything."

Veteran mental health policy sheds negative light

Published Nov 2, 2009

Regardless of one's stance on the United States' involvement in warfare, there is a widely accepted and universally understood policy of inherent respect for veterans. These men and women have subjected themselves to what many of us will never be able to imagine, all in the name of guaranteeing the safety and welfare of citizens at home. We revere the efforts of these soldiers on our behalf with two days of national holiday, Memorial Day and Veterans Day. After all, it is through the continued defense provided by these people that we have enjoyed the liberties we experience today.

Baseball’s human error factor could affect World Series

Published Nov 2, 2009

With all the blown calls in the Major League Baseball postseason this year, the league should expand its use of replay to improve the quality of the game.

Currently, the MLB only uses replay for "boundary calls," which are calls that focus on whether or not a home run had gone over the fence or whether a home run was fair of foul. This new rule was only introduced to the game in August 2008 after a plethora of missed home run calls that season. Baseball is the only sport that seems to be resistant to using replay to get the call right.

Soccer seniors started a winning tradition

Published Nov 2, 2009

At the end of each soccer season at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium, one night is set aside to honor seniors and the contributions they've made to the program. This year's bittersweet ceremony was held Friday night following a 4-1 loss to San Diego State University and ended, as usual, with flowers and a video tribute to this season's three departing seniors, Lizzy Karoly, Kelly Faerber and Michelle Nguyen.

But any Frog soccer fan who has been around for the past four years knows Friday night was also the celebration of a revival that began when this senior class entered TCU.
