Not only did the candidates expect the Skiff to be there, it is a duty of this publication to inform the students, and the Skiff did not adequately do this.

In these cases there were at least groups, other than TCU students, to blame: a criminal expounding with pride his frequent car break-in outings; incredibly sneaky University Park dwellers with shoe polish; and, of course, the TCU Police and their lack of security cameras in certain areas around campus.

Published Nov 2, 2005

Girl code. The unspoken rule among females, which says you cannot hook up with a friend's ex, brother, "friend," your ex-boyfriend's friends, etc. Girls are indoctrinated with this rule from birth on and have had it ingrained in their heads by the time puberty hits. You know that guy your friend kissed on the monkey bars in third grade? Well, she wouldn't share her crayons with you for the next month because she heard you held hands with him on the soccer field. So, not OK.
