TCU students and faculty members sampled Latin American delicacies while listening to a Latin jazz band Tuesday as part of an event that marked the end of Hispanic Heritage Month.Greg Trevino, director of Inclusiveness and Intercultural Services, said this event gave people a chance to integrate a little bit of Latin culture into their daily routine.

The 24-hour change in weather from Monday's clear skies to yesterday's thunderstorms has meant both good and bad things for students and faculty.Melissa Pecorello, a junior psychology major from New York, said she has experienced a lot of rain, but not like the conditions in Texas.

"The weather patterns here are really weird," said Pecorello, who commutes everyday. She also said she had a hard time driving on the slippery highways yesterday.

Being liberal once meant being radical and perhaps original. But now it seems to stand for being trendy - at least in Austin at the recent Austin City Limits Music Festival. Granted, it was Austin, and beyond that, it attracted people from Sixth Street in Austin.But still, both edges of the political spectrum can fall into this trap, and you see it all over college campuses, even at good ol' conservative TCU.

In fact, being "trendy liberals" may contradict what they actually stand for.

When students graduate from high school, they look forward to college being a breath of fresh air: there wouldn't be any more quizzes, worksheets or busy work. If only that were true.

Many professors seem reluctant to end class on the belief that students were actually paying attention. So they take it upon themselves to assign two worksheets due for the next class and prepare a pop quiz.

Today is the deadline to register to vote in Texas' Nov. 7 general election, a process students can complete online. Students can visit the Texas Secretary of State's Web site, sos.state.tx.us, and click on the link for "Elections and Voter Information" on the home page to print a voter registration form.

The next step is to mail the completed registration form to the voter registrar in the voter's county.

Official applications to register to vote are postage-paid by the state of Texas, meaning a voter won't need a stamp to submit his or her registration.

TCU's equestrian team had their first regular-season competition Saturday at Oklahoma State, and it was inexperience that plagued the first-year team in their loss to the Cowgirls, said head coach Gary Reynolds. The Frogs fell 15-1 to the OSU riders, but for the new team, they put up a good fight, coming in a very close second in several events.

In horsemanship, TCU's Allie Royder fell short by one point with a 71.5 score, falling to OSU's Sam Davidson who received a score of 72.5.
