The first time I ever picked up a "Harry Potter" book was in fourth grade. It was library day for my class, and I had finished the series I'd been reading and needed something new.

Students can step into a new culture and move their feet to the beat of African- and Caribbean-style dances Wednesday in University Recreation Center.

With the aftermath of a 6-10 season, Cowboys' owner and general manager Jerry Jones has been making a complete change in the coaching regime of the Cowboys.
