Halperin continues on in American Idol

Published Feb 23, 2011

As judges narrow the number of remaining "American Idol" contestants, TCU grad Tim Halperin took the stage Wednesday night in Las Vegas to compete for his spot in the show's top 24.

In the show's first hour, the 60 contestants were narrowed to 40, and in the second, eliminations began to establish the top 24. However, viewers must tune in Thursday night to see if Halperin made the cut.

Pro & Con: New legislation would require sonograms before abortions

Published Feb 23, 2011

Pro

The third time's the charm, or at least, it may be for Texas Senate Bill 16.

The Texas Senate finally approved the bill Thursday. The bill was passed by the senate in 2007 and 2009 but died in the House. The bill would require a doctor to perform an ultrasound on women before they have an abortion, and the doctor would have to describe the images and explain the progress of the fetus' organs and limbs. The ultrasound would not be required if the reason for the abortion was for incest, rape or fetal abnormalities.

Cheryl Tucker has been working at the campus Starbucks for three years

Published Feb 23, 2011

Students at TCU can enjoy Union Grounds' selection of Starbucks coffee and treats, but what many appreciate most is that it is open into the late hours of the night when caffeine is often needed most. Cheryl Tucker has been working at the establishment for the past three years. She takes the night shift starting at around 6 p.m. until 2:15 or 3:15 a.m.

When does the general crowd come in during those times?

"Usually from about 8 to 10 and then I get another crowd about 12 to 1."

Do you ever encounter any intoxicated students?

Feliz solved Rangers’ Achilles heal

Published Feb 23, 2011

It has happened before; an All-Star fireball-throwing closer is converted into a starter. The result is usually the same; closers are just not as dominant when they move to the starting rotation. The reasons for converting Neftali Feliz are obvious 8212; Feliz has a 100 mph fastball and an electric curveball, he was named the 2010 American League Rookie of the Year, and he led all rookies with 40 saves in 43 attempts. While the Rangers need more depth at starting pitching, converting Feliz into a starter would compromise the Rangers' excellent bullpen.

Market Square cooks up fresh changes

Market Square cooks up fresh changes

Published Feb 23, 2011

Market Square is making an effort to enhance the dining experience for TCU students by preparing more foods in-house rather than buying canned versions from Sysco, Executive Chef Charlie Guajardo said.

To improve food for students, foods such as the hummus, mashed potatoes, marinara sauce and salsa will now be made on-site at Market Square, he said.

"What we're trying to do is veer away from constitutional cooking," Guajardo said. "We're trying to make homemade, fresh foods for the students."

More food prepared in-house benefits all

Published Feb 23, 2011

Market Square is preparing more foods in-house instead of buying canned versions, and that is something everyone can cheer.

Homemade, fresh foods should taste better, be healthier and, as one student said, make "the BLUU seem less like a cafeteria."

The effort toward homemade, higher-quality food came from new Dining Services General Manager Stephen Miller, who was appointed in October and immediately saw room for improvement, Executive Chef Charlie Guajardo said.

Tejay Johnson wants to be remembered as campus leader

Published Feb 23, 2011

During his final year on campus, former Frogs safety Tejay Johnson doesn't want to be recognized solely as a football player. The senior wants colleagues to perceive him as a leader who continues to give back to campus life.

"I never wanted people to assume that I was a football player," Johnson said. I've always had a passion for helping others. I know where I came from and how I got here. It was that need, want and desire to give back that always played a big role in my life."
