Safety checks lack consistency

Safety checks lack consistency

Published Feb 24, 2006

About two weeks ago, I walked into my dorm room to find three guys walking around the room. Although I was not close friends with any of them, they were all acquaintances, and I knew what was happening. It was one of the random safety checks that happen throughout the school year.I knew that I had nothing to hide, so I wasn't really worried. But by the time it was over, I had emptied a bag full of quarters on my desk, as well as demonstrated that a decorative pipe on a shelf had indeed not been used. As I thought, I didn't have anything to hide, but I was sweating for a minute.

That they don't deserve to get married or raise children. In fact, they believe we should not allow known gays to vote, teach, participate in government or live in our communities.

Women’s Basketball: Frogs take 2nd shot at BYU

Published Feb 24, 2006

The Lady Frogs (15-9) head to Provo, Utah, Saturday for their second game of the season against No. 18 BYU (20-3). TCU lost the teams' earlier matchup 67-64 at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum on Jan. 25.The Frogs will have to do a better job this time of containing BYU forward Ambrosia Anderson, who sunk TCU with 24 points. Anderson took full advantage of a Horned Frog squad that has struggled all season to defend against the three; although it has improved since then, TCU's perimeter defense is still allowing opponents to average 37 percent shooting from long range.

Saddam trial not neutral, orderly

Saddam trial not neutral, orderly

Published Feb 23, 2006

As headlines for Saddam Hussein's trial continue to grace the front pages of American newspapers, the image of an Iraqi circus keeps appearing in my mind. All that is missing is a juggler and an elephant.The thought of one of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants being dragged out kicking and screaming didn't help. It made me wonder how much control the new judge had over his courtroom. Hussein's latest trick is his hunger strike in protest of the way he is being treated.

After taking approximately a month off, the trial is evidently as stressful as ever.

Slasher flick yields plenty of surprises

Published Feb 23, 2006

When one thinks of the all-time great horror movies, the idea of sequels usually brings on a stronger queasiness than the film itself. But, as the trilogy of "Final Destination" comes to a conclusion, each installment has only improved upon the original.I went to see "Final Destination 3" anticipating inventive death scenes and cringe-worthy gore. I wasn't disappointed; as car engines, nail guns and even tanning salons proved to be more tortuous than I ever imagined.
