It is not unusual that measures taken for safety also prove to be an inconvenience.Anyone who has stood in line barefoot for three hours while trying to catch a plane would agree. And while we have to acknowledge that we'd rather be inconvenienced than wind up in a worst case scenario, at times it doesn't seem worth it.

For example: the new fence going up around Worth Hills.

Devastation rocked the lives of tens of thousands of people when Hurricane Katrina struck the United States one year ago this week. People lost their homes and loved ones and evacuated the lives they knew.Now, amidst the hope they have received from the selfless help of multiple volunteer groups, the evacuees still struggle to rebuild their former lifestyles.

The beginning of each semester can be stressful for students: new classes, teachers, tests and challenges. But are the classes you're fretting over even the ones you need to be taking? The professor from your department swears these are the right classes and that you must take them now in order to graduate on time.It's hard to believe that majority of professors on campus are familiar enough with TCU core curriculum to advise students correctly on every class they need to take each semester.

"Welcome to the middle of nowhere."This is often the exact reaction many people have when they are traveling through a remote small town.

The truth is people do live in these small towns and most will defend their birthplace until they are blue in the face.

This is the case with Rachel Skinner, a senior radio-TV-film major, whose hometown is Lawn, Texas.
