If you took Interstate 30 on your way back to the university for this fall semester, you may have noticed something that resembles a spacecraft in Arlington. The structure is no UFO but the new playground of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his team. Despite much criticism about the cost of the behemoth in a poor economic climate, the stadium will end up paying for itself.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the final cost of the stadium was about $1.15 billion. That's about the same as TCU tuition for the 2009-2010 academic year, at $28,250, for 40,708 students.

When Sarah Palin became John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential election, I don't think she knew exactly what she was getting herself into.

With an all-American persona and little political experience, she suddenly became a prime media target. She went from a successful governor to Katie Couric's verbal punching bag and she hasn't necessarily done anything to prevent such treatment.

Where innovation springs forward, technology and advancement are quick to follow; however, protests are usually equally responsive, grating against the smooth gears of progress. A current example arises...

Kelsie Johnson, student body president, Lindsay Ray, Panhellenic Council president, and Evan Berlin, Interfraternity Council president, led the tailgate proposal, which recognized students' dissatisfaction with last year's alcohol ban for university-sponsored tailgates.

The propsal was approved in early June, Berlin said.

The number of students being treated for the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu, jumped from 10 on Monday to 88 by Wednesday, a university official said.

Don Mills, vice chancellor for student affairs, said faculty are being made aware of who is absent as a result of the flu and faculty will work with the student to catch them up on their work.

It's that time of year again. Get ready to head into that beautiful corner property, plop down that shiny new student ID, silently apologize to your parents and limber up to get screwed to the wall by the university bookstore.

However, the bookstore is a necessary evil. Supply meets demand, and school is much tougher without books. As you read down your class list and your bag quickly fills, you may notice something interesting. Quite a few of your professors are published authors! So why, exactly, do they demand you purchase their book?

When news broke that Michael Vick would serve the last two months of his 18-month prison term in his Virginia home for bankrolling a dog fighting ring, much of the nation was given a slap to the face to waken them to the most covered sports story of 2007.

Vick's 2009 story should be about redemption and forgiveness, even if it isn't fair to the dogs who suffered so much under Vick's watch.
