From mythology to modernity, what prompts individuals to break off relationships has captured the imagination of the masses. And though the spirit of Valentine's Day encourages romances both young and...

I have flown halfway around the world to begin what could be one of the most influential experiences of my life.

Studying abroad this semester, I'm shacked up in a suburb of Perth, Western Australia (and quite glad to be). I came prepared to soak in all of their environmental practices that I will be able to import to the United States. In the few days I have been here exploring, I have found the green movement in play here through packed public transit systems and solar panels everywhere. But most surprising is the lack of air conditioning.

A warrant has been issued for a man suspected of burglarizing a car Monday night, a university police official said.

Vicki Lawson, a detective with the TCU Police Department, said that although two other passengers were detained Monday, a warrant was filed only for the driver of the car in which the stolen property was found.

"The way that the law is written, the property, even though it was in the car, becomes the sole property of the driver," Lawson said.

More than 500 students and alumni will receive reimbursements from the university-provided health insurer Aetna after New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo found that the claims system had not been receiving the frequent updates it needed.

The reimbursements for the 517 TCU students and health care providers will total more than $34,000, but this amount represents a small portion of the total claims for the university, said Marilyn Hallam, coordinator of the Brown-Lupton Health Center office.

After several years of suing thousands of people, including college students, for illegally downloading music, the Recording Industry Association of America's decision to rely more heavily on Internet...

Andrew Weatherford's Feb. 11 column, "Pop culture a reflection of immoral society," makes the argument that Britney Spears' music is a reflection of society's moral status. I could not disagree more.

Using Spears as a barometer for our nation's moral status is just as asinine as lumping the entire music industry together as one moral sampling. Spears' new single "If U Seek Amy" is a reflection of something else - limited musical ability and lack of depth as a human being.

Students who download music illegally no longer have to fear being taken to court, but they are now much more likely to get caught and receive minor punishments from the university, a university official said.

Brooke Scogin, assistant dean of Campus Life, said that to enforce its new policy the Recording Industry Association of America has dramatically increased the number of reports it issues notifying Internet service providers of Internet piracy.
