Joe Chow, the mayor of Addison and executive chef and owner of Dallas' four star Chinese restaurant May Dragon, gave a Taiwanese cooking demonstration in the Brown-Lupton University Union auditorium Sunday.

Chow, who credits himself with inventing the sesame chicken dish, demonstrated how to make his original entree as well as a lettuce wrap with shrimp. Chow said he invented his sesame chicken dish in 1986.

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.

The campus bookstore sold more than 220 copies of the book "What Difference Do it Make?" on Monday afternoon when authors Denver Moore and Ron Hall, an alumnus, held a signing for the newly released title,...

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

Last Wednesday, Union Grounds began brewing Fair Trade coffee, a brand of coffee which cuts out the middle man and pays coffee growers more than the market price for the coffee they grow.

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.

The Fort Worth Police Department has not made any arrests in an Oct. 13 sexual assault case on campus or in a different sexual assault reported Oct. 1, a police spokesman said.

"The sexual assault unit is still conducting its ongoing investigation into each sexual assault," police spokesman Sgt. Chad Mahaffey said. "No arrests have been made as of (Monday), however both cases are very active and are still under investigation. Due to the sensitive nature of sexual assault investigations, public information is very limited until the case reaches a conclusion."

Junior quarterback Andy Dalton completed four passes of more than 20 yards in a wide open Horned Frog offense, as TCU defeated Colorado State 44-6 Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

Dalton broke the 200 yard passing barrier for the third time this season, which included touchdown passes of 47 and 39 yards to junior wide receiver Curtis Clay and freshman running back Ed Wesley. Dalton also ran the ball six times for 42 yards.

When Blake Schlueter graduated, Horned Frog fans worried that his replacement would not be as successful. But senior Jake Kirkpatrick filled the void and more. All it took was one year of high school football.

Kirkpatrick said he transferred to Robert E. Lee High School in Tyler his senior year because his private school growing up did not have a football team.

"My parents weren't too happy about it," Kirkpatrick said. "They didn't think it was a good idea."

The No. 8 ranked Horned Frog football team will continue its quest to bust the BCS on Saturday when the Colorado State Rams come to Fort Worth.

TCU is 5-0, its best start since 2003, and coming off a 20-17 win in below-freezing temperatures at the Air Force Academy last Saturday. Colorado State started the season 3-0, but has dropped three straight games, including Saturday's 24-17 loss to Utah.
