Advances in the development of a university-wide reading club hosted by Project Junior Giveback keeps turning its pages, planning to increase community morale on campus, a student body official said.

"One Book, One TCU" is a learning project to foster a greater sense of community on campus, revive the lost art of recreational reading and provide a good read to students, faculty and staff, said Matt Dietrichson, a sophomore political science major and student body vice president.

After five uneasy days, citizens of the U.S. were relieved and overjoyed Sunday to learn that Capt. Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama had been rescued from the four pirates taking him hostage. One...

In one of the top headlines of the week, President Barack Obama finally fulfilled his campaign promise to his daughters and welcomed a new dog into the family.

News broadcasts, Web sites and even the blogosphere are on full blast about the newest Obama in the White House. One headline proclaimed, "The wait is over."

Seriously, is that what we've come to as a media-loving country to the point where getting a dog is headline news?

The United States was formed on the basis of each state having its own sovereignty.

This fact is not new. In fact, it was a founding principle clearly outlined in the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

Our Founding Fathers agreed that each state would have the ability to make its own laws and carry them out, with a central government uniting all the states and keeping them together, while making federal laws that would not overshadow the 10th Amendment.

If a team can't win the battle in the trenches it doesn't matter who it has catching, running or throwing the ball. Offensive linemen don't play a glamorous position, but they can be the difference between winning and losing.

In 2008, the Frogs' O-line paved the way for the team to have one of its greatest statistical seasons in school history. The Frogs set school records for points scored with 437 and touchdowns with 56. The team was also 12th in the nation in rushing at 220.2 yards per game.

In a recent letter to the editor, James Scarberry, class of TCU '59, wrote "it has come to my attention that there will be gay living quarters on campus, sanctioned by the university." This, Scarberry argues, is an action taken by the university that serves as "an accommodation to immoral living."

I think it is safe to say that the members of the administration and the board of trustees are, or at least should be, primarily concerned with the accommodation of the students of Texas Christian University.

Baseball intrinsic to American life

I want you to close your eyes and think about America.

What comes to your mind? Maybe the Statue of Liberty, apple pie or frozen burritos.

Only one thing comes to my mind. Baseball.

The numbers show that our nation's pastime is becoming about as popular as Savage Garden, but I still would rather watch a baseball game than do anything else.

I am personally amazed at all of the bad publicity one little article in the paper can cause. I just found out today that the university is on the news in Great Britain because of our "segregated" housing...

In the midst of the confusion surrounding Living Learning Communities and the university's decision not to implement new LLCs next year, there was silence in a corner of the campus.

Monday night, Rachel Siron, hall director of Carter and Samuelson halls, sent an e-mail to LLC members asking them to refer questions to the chancellor's office. One sentence read, "If you receive calls from the media, including the Skiff, please refer them to Tracy Syler-Jones," the associate vice chancellor and executive director of marketing and communication.
