If TCU were my child, I would ground him or her for a good, solid year.That's what my parents would have done to me if I got two F's on my report card.The 2008 College Sustainability Report Card, a study...

I live two blocks from the TCU campus. Our houses have single-car driveways.

Many of us park one car in the driveway and one on the street to keep from shuffling cars around all the time. We are further hampered by having parking on only one side of the street on weekdays.

The parking problem is made worse by students who chew up the available parking. This would not be so bad if they parked in the morning and removed their cars at the end of the day. Many times, though, they come in the evenings, park and leave their cars for three to seven days at a time.

The men's basketball team will hit the road this weekend in search of a victory against the Utah Utes in Salt Lake City.

With three consecutive conference wins under their belts, the team is confident it can come out on top Saturday.

The Mountain West Conference record for being named diver of the week the most times now belongs to a TCU diver.

R.J. Hesselberg broke the previous single season record of six last week when he was named MWC Men's Diver of the Week for the seventh time.

"I'm a lot more focused this season," said Hesselberg, a junior communication studies major. "Last year, it was just about completing the dive. This year, I'm focusing on specific details."

A Democratic Party rally scheduled to take place at Smith Hall on Saturday presents a great opportunity for students to express political interest and get involved.

James Russell, a sophomore religion and anthropology major, said students will have the chance to meet 30 Tarrant County Democratic candidates. This will be an easy way to get to know the candidates' policies before primary voting for the Texas House takes place March 4.

Seven of the 30 candidates are scheduled to speak.

112th Southwestern Exposition and Live Stock Show (Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum)

For 112 years, Fort Worth has lived up to its motto as "Where the West Begins" during the annual rodeo and stock show. Cowboys and cowgirls from countries as far as Wales and Australia compete for rodeo stardom in Fort Worth.

Two men and one woman were arrested on suspicion of burglary of a motor vehicle in the freshman parking lot late Tuesday night, a TCU Police investigator said.

TCU Police received a tip from a witness saying a car alarm went off in the freshman parking lot, and looking back, the witness saw two people who looked suspicious, TCU Police Sgt. Kelly Ham said.

We want to clarify our position as protesters of the rodeo and the exploitative non-human entertainment industry at large.

We feel that given the facts of the inevitable deaths and provocative means that ensure a performance for humans' amusement, there is no way to justify non-humans' forced involvement in such barbaric activities. We view the rodeo as exploitative, since the non-humans exist as expendable entities to draw in ticket sales.
