Pet obesity stems from irresponsible owners

Published Mar 7, 2011

Americans love their pets; there is no questioning that fact. With the Humane Society of the United States estimating national dog ownership rates at 39 percent and cat ownership rates at 33 percent, many TCU students should have many memories with their own pet or one of a family member or friend.

Pets are extensions of each owner's heart, a source of love, attention, play or even ignorance and control. Americans play with them, walk them, dress them up, spend thousands on their veterinary operations and watch celebrities tote them around in matching outfits.

LGBT Leadership Conference marks progress on campus

Published Mar 7, 2011

Although on the surface, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Leadership Conference, hosted by the Gay Straight Alliance on Saturday, was just a "leadership conference," it truly symbolized a marked progression toward inclusiveness throughout the campus.

The leadership conference consisted of 75 attendees, including students and faculty from TCU and seven additional Texas schools, and focused on suicide and crisis prevention as a response to the slew of gay teen suicides in October 2010, Jamal King, GSA president, said.

Students should take advantage of guest speakers

Published Mar 7, 2011

With the Monday campus visit of primatologist Jane Goodall and the announcement that Alice Walker, author of "The Color Purple," will visit April 29, the number of prestigious speakers the university brings in certainly is not in short supply.

These speakers are brought in for students' benefit, but sometimes the student body doesn't take full advantage of these exceptional experiences.

It's unfortunate that this happens as the diversity of speakers and the variety of topics ensures there's almost always something for everyone.

V-Day Campaign ends with ‘The Vagina Monologues’

Published Mar 7, 2011

Performances of the play "The Vagina Monologues" concluded the TCU V-Day Campaign to stop violence against women and girls, with a frank and emotional experience for viewers.

Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" featured a cast of women telling their own stories through a series of monologues. Each monologue was based on real interviews done by Ensler with a diverse group of women who shared their experiences of violence, abuse and sexuality.
