Facebook redeems itself as emergency communication

Published Mar 24, 2011

Finally, Facebook "stalkers" may have helped someone out.

Facebook users employ it as a distraction, a photo album, a networking tool and even sometimes as a joke. Never would I have thought that Facebook could potentially be a life-saver as well.

Panel discussion takes rare stance

Published Mar 24, 2011

On Wednesday, three TCU political science professors, Manochehr Dorraj, Ralph Carter and Michael Dodson, hosted a panel about the recent uprisings in the Middle East. The professors said they wanted to provide a proper context as to why these events were occurring so students could be informed on an issue that most know little about.

The major point of discussion was about just how essential social media websites, like Facebook and Twitter, have been in organizing protests as well as in keeping open lines of communication with other resistance members.

Johnson’s legacy at TCU is already sealed

Published Mar 23, 2011

Former TCU wide receiver Bart Johnson was a sneaky kind of football player 8212; and not in a bad way. I'm not sure if he intended to be, but he sure seemed to do a lot of it during his four-year career with the Frogs.

First, he snuck past college recruiters in high school. His only Division I football offer was from Harvard. Johnson opted to be a walk-on wide receiver for the TCU scout team.

Then, he snuck past the scout team and depth chart, and found himself as a starter for a top 25 FBS football program.
