Published Feb 2, 2006

Forget what you've heard about Chuck Norris - Harrison Ford has been kicking butt on the big screen since the '70s. After the premiere of his new movie "Firewall" at the Angelika Film Center, Ford came out to answer questions from the audience about a variety of topics - and not without his famous sarcasm.On how he got started...

A. The first time I was in a movie studio somebody offered me a job, so that is dumb luck of the most gigantic proportion I've ever heard in my life. But then it took me 15 years to actually make a living in the profession.


Q & A Michael DePriest

When did you really first realize, "Man, I'm really fast?"I say my senior year of high school. I didn't start off fast; as a freshman, I ran like a 4.9, 5 flat in the 40. A lot of other people were fast since the eighth grade and were fast when they came to high school.

What do you run your 40 in now?

Actually, I got a little slower recently. I run like a 4.36, but when I graduated high school, I was at a 4.28. I was also only 167 pounds, too.

You said in a class once that you had a manta ray?

Trio releases catchy new album

Published Feb 2, 2006

We Are Scientists' new album "With Love and Squalor" delivers infectious hooks through the entirety of this strong pop album - just don't dig too far below the surface.Every track is single-worthy and very radio friendly, with generic lyrics filtered through faux-Cure-style vocals. In fact, dance beats and a singer trying to be Robert Smith make WAS sound like The Killers' demo tapes before they discovered the synthesizer.

Limit speech to proper times

Published Feb 2, 2006

As Americans, we should cherish the rights protected by the First Amendment, but we should probably use a little discretion before exercising them. Free speech and the right to peaceably assemble are two of the most important rights protected by the First Amendment. Combined, they give us our right to protest.

Last week, former presidential envoy to Iraq Paul Bremer came to TCU to promote his book "My Year in Iraq: The Struggle to Build a Future of Hope." With Bremer's visit, we saw a rare display of student activism.

Sequel more unbalanced than original

Published Feb 2, 2006

"Big Momma's House 2" is a bland, formulaic comedy for the masses. Though I was not amused, the only thing keeping me from an early nap was the laughter from the rest of the audience. We quickly find out that Malcolm Turner, played by Martin Lawrence, has been busy since the original film. He's married main squeeze Sherrie, played by Nia Long, and given up undercover work.

When Turner hears his partner has been killed in action, he is forced to take drastic measures.

The Lady Frogs may find themselves looking in the mirror Thursday evening when they face the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (12-6, 4-3), a team head coach Jeff Mittie said is similar in some ways to TCU. "They're more like we are in that they attack off of the dribble," Mittie said. "They run a lot of motion offense ... they put the ball on the floor."

The Rebels penetrating attack is led by senior guard Sheena Moore, who leads the team in both points (13.2) and assists (3.6) per game. Mittie said Moore is the central figure in UNLV's ability to break down defenses.
