Frogs not the only strong defense during the games

Published Oct 20, 2009

A team with more members than any football team that will play on the field at Amon Carter Stadium is present at every home football game, but most people would not give anyone on this squad a second look.

It is the group of security officials that roam the parking lots, locker rooms, press box and bleachers.



Campus police chief Steve McGee said 17 out of 24 of the university's police officers work every home game. With three more assigned to patrol campus, very few days off exist when the Horned Frogs play at home.

Female Halloween costumes should be scary not sexy

Female Halloween costumes should be scary not sexy

Published Oct 20, 2009

Pirates, Ghostbusters, vampires and Freddy Krueger are the names of common Halloween costumes you might see on the men's aisle. For women, the pirate becomes "sexy pirate," the witch transforms into "glamorous witch" (glamorous meaning "with less clothing") and even Freddy Krueger morphs into the sexy "Ms. Krueger" (complete with strategically placed claw slashes). For those of us not interested in the "sexy" look, finding a Halloween costume is really just an exercise in attempting to find an outfit that doesn't make us look like playmates.

Fair Trade coffee not as fair as you think

Published Oct 20, 2009

You know times are strange when people are excited about paying more for something.

I have no problem with Fair Trade at all. If people want to pay more for coffee to benefit poorer people then they should do that.
