Hear about 30 different guitar melodies simultaneously; all are live. Some come from professional guitarists playing on any of the five stages dispersed throughout the hall, but most are attendees of the world's largest guitar festival experimenting on their potentially new guitars at one of the 800 exhibitors' booths.

The policeman, who politely shooed me away, explained that reading from the Bible out loud on campus without a permit constituted an illegal assembly, even if I was the only person "assembling." Fair enough. Nevertheless, I found it interesting that someone had considered me enough of a threat to TCU's well-being as to justify police action.

Today is Equal Pay Day, an event put on by the National Committee on Pay Equity to raise awareness of unequal salaries for women and other minorities. And today, almost 90 years since women gained suffrage, there are many speculations about why women earn less money than men: Are they less deserving?
