Contentment found by approaching diversity

Contentment found by approaching diversity

Published Sep 17, 2009

College is supposed to take students away from the comforts of high school and prepare them for the inevitable difficulties of the real world.

Our university bubble isn't showing us the real world. I mean, honestly, how many first-year professions pay well enough for a brand new BMW? As students, we may not know what we want, but we should face the facts and realize our eyes need to be opened. It's time we grow up and see the world.

Crime investigations delayed when not immediately reported

Published Sep 16, 2009

The recent report of a sexual assault on campus highlights the difficulties police face when conducting investigations when victims do not immediately report a crime.

TCU Police Sgt. Kelly Ham said not calling university police can delay investigations by a week in some cases.



"The sooner the university police receive information about a crime on campus, the quicker they can start investigating," Ham said. "The longer it takes to get the information, the harder it is to find witnesses and video evidence."

Patterson: Younger team presents new set of challenges

Published Sep 16, 2009

After a victory at the University of Virginia, Head Coach Gary Patterson held his second press luncheon Tuesday.

Patterson talked about the young team this year, as well as the successes and mistakes made on the road at Virginia.



At Virginia, Patterson said he played between 12 and 15 redshirt and true freshmen. Having a younger team presents a different set of challenges, Patterson said.



Patterson said that this week should present a new challenge for younger players because they have less time to prepare for games.

Veteran leadership in secondary overcomes short depth chart

Published Sep 16, 2009

Although the Horned Frogs' defensive secondary received national hype for the upcoming season, the loss of Sir Demarco Bledsoe and injury of junior Colin Jones at the position of strong safety leaves the secondary in an unsure position for the 2009 season, head coach Gary Patterson said.

"You lose a Stephen Hodge, you lose a Sir Demarco Bledsoe, you lose a Colin Jones, so now you're down to your fourth safety and you still hold people under 200 yards," head coach Gary Patterson said in his weekly press conference Tuesday.

No reason for whaling

No reason for whaling

Published Sep 16, 2009

I was recently asked to select a topic for a class. The topic had to be one of which I could gather a considerable amount of information. It had to have some form of controversy, and it had to present a series of viewpoints.

I could have chosen a wildly publicized, political issue like health care, immigration, abortion and the like. Instead, I decided to go a somewhat obscure route and chose the current situation dealing with whaling in Japan. It's more of an issue than we might think.
