The number of undergraduate applications from minority students has doubled in a span of two years, but a large portion of students don't complete them, said the director of admissions.

Of the minority students who applied for admission last fall, about 43 percent did not complete their application, according to admissions data. About 20 percent of white students did not complete their application.

The Center for International Studies has expanded its London program by aligning with the University of Westminster, U.K., making it a full-time fall and spring program in addition to its summer program.

Students now have a chance to access courses in every discipline, and the entire course catalogue at Westminster will be available to them, said Susan Layne, coordinator of TCU in London.

A resolution condemning a gossip Web site was passed unanimously by the Student Government Association's House of Representatives on Tuesday.

Student Body President Thomas Pressly said JuicyCampus.com is "sick and disgusting" and "derogatory toward TCU students."

Pressly said visitors to JuicyCampus are allowed to anonymously post derogatory information about other students.

All too often I visit with patients, clients, friends and even family and hear the same piercing words. My body cringes and the hairs on the back of my neck rise as someone utters, "If it's healthy for you, it can't taste good."

It pains me to think of the vast number of people who suffer from this misconception. True, healthy foods have been stereotyped as bland, dull and quite cardboard-like. But the truth of the matter is that low-fat and low-sodium cooking can boast exceptional flavors with spices.

When I heard D3Publisher was releasing a video game for Wii in the U.S. called "Oneechanbara Revolution," with a main character who fights zombies wearing nothing but a cowgirl bikini, my ears perked.

The men's basketball team has proven the home court advantage theory by going 11-3 so far, but it's still stuck below mediocrity because of its inability to compete away from Fort Worth.

The Student Government Association acted in students' best interests Tuesday, passing a resolution condemning the gossip Web site JuicyCampus.com.

SGA's effort to nix student use of the site is commendable - the Web site is slanderous and does nothing but breed negativity.

In fact, its slogan, "always anonymous, always juicy," is almost asking for people to write things about their peers they would otherwise be ashamed to write.

A viewing for the last total lunar eclipse visible in Fort Worth until 2010 will occur tonight, an astronomy instructor said.

Instead of eclipsing in the early hours of the morning as it did during the last eclipse in August, the earth will cast its full shadow on the moon at about 9:30 p.m., making it particularly well-suited for viewing in Fort Worth, said Mike Fanelli, instructor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
