The TCU Facebook Fan Page, "TCU - Texas Christian University," is quickly becoming an active online tribute to the university.

Launched April 2, it has accumulated close to 2,000 fans. The page, which is updated several times daily, runs updates on everything from sports scores to photos of new buildings and videos of speeches given on campus.

What sets this site apart from others is that this site is run by the university rather than students.

The 23-11 baseball team will return to action today to begin a two-game series with Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Making good on a key campaign promise, President Barack Obama is working to make education more accessible to everyone without using a tax increase to do it.

The plan involves cutting out private banks for subsidized loan administration, which currently requires billions of taxpayer dollars each year in subsidies and a collection of the maximum interest rate allowed by Congress.

Unsubsidized loans will not be affected by the change.

I found myself sobbing on Saturday afternoon while exiting the play during Claire Parker's monologue "Twirler" after she said twice, "Baton twirlers are like the niggers at a white university." Parker's character said the lack of respect a baton twirler receives is equal to the amount a black person doesn't receive.

The bill that would expand concealed handgun-carry laws to Texas college campuses was revised last week by the House Public Safety Committee to allow private colleges to override the legislation and establish rules to continue campus gun bans, said state Rep. Lon Burnam, a Democrat from Fort Worth.

Under the revision, the university would be able to make its own choice on banning guns on campus. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Don Mills said if the bill passes as written, the board of trustees would most likely vote to make the decision for the university.

Although I am certainly both, I would say I am an American before I would say I am a Texan.

I am a part of a union and thus I believe in working to solve a national crisis rather than "running away" from it.

It is difficult to believe that among the 21st century conflicts that our generation faces - such as the mad dash for alternative energy - that piracy would still be a problem.

But when a nation such as Somalia exists practically without a government, anything is possible. On Sunday, Navy Seals saved Capt. Richard Phillips from Somali pirates after President Barack Obama authorized lethal force if Phillips looked to be in imminent danger. It was an order that was praised by many and criticized by few.
