It started with a dress.


In what had been one of the hottest summers Italians had experienced in a while, this cooler night was welcomed by Nicholas Lindsey. As he walked outside, in the heart of Perugia, Lindsey heard the familiar sound of Gnarls Barkley's song "Crazy," one of his favorites. The music led him to an open-air fashion show and it was there that he saw it.


"It was love at first sight," Lindsey said.

Ever wonder what presidents do outside the White House?


Presidents in the 19th century were interested in hunting and fishing, but 20th century presidents loved golf, a former professor and best-selling author said Wednesday.


Paul F. Boller Jr., best-selling author and TCU emeritus professor of history, explored the hobbies of America's 43 presidents at an interview symposium Wednesday called "Presidents at Play: Observations by Dr. Paul F. Boller Jr."


Boller said hobbies have been essential to the health and well-being of presidents.

Course-retake policy too lenient

Published Mar 27, 2008

The Faculty Senate, in a wise academic move for the university, is investigating the course retake policy.

As it stands, students can retake any course and their grade will be replaced by the most recent attempt. There is also no limit to the number of times a student can retake a course.



Yes, this might sound great to students, especially those who may have slacked off freshman year and will be more likely to attend that 8 a.m. class now.

Letter to the Editor: Pastor’s comments don’t evoke true meaning of Golden Rule

Published Mar 27, 2008

I was at Brite Divinity School on Good Friday.


TCU was vacant, but some of the Brite faculty were in their offices. I'm guessing they, like me, were there because of concerns about Brite's plans to honor the patently offensive Rev. Jeremiah Wright.


While I paced the sidewalk for two and a half hours walking around the outside of the Robert Carr Chapel, Moore and Beasley buildings waiting to speak with somebody from Brite, my wife and I noticed that the clock on the steeple of Carr Chapel had stopped working, and the hour still tolled an hour behind.

Letter to the Editor: University’s distance from Wright detrimental to discussion of race

Published Mar 27, 2008

I am writing this letter in response to the comments the chancellor made about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright that were published in the Dallas Morning News and picked up by other news media.


Specifically, Chancellor Victor Boschini commented that: "Giving an award [to Wright] is another matter, and in this specific case in light of Rev. Wright's recently discovered remarks, TCU would not give such an award." Additionally, recently the Board of Trustees voted to prohibit Brite Divinity's award ceremony honoring Wright from occurring on campus because of safety concerns.
