Grading system raises concerns

Published Nov 2, 2005

Students offered their opinions on the debate about changing to a plus/minus grading system before a panel of faculty members Tuesday night at a forum co-hosted by the Student Government Association and Faculty Senate. The forum was the beginning of a process to research the possibility of a plus/minus system and get student feedback, but there are details that still need to be worked out before the system could be implemented as early as Fall 2007, David Grant, a religion professor, said.

Girl code at TCU shaky: Be a friend, change the trend

Girl code at TCU shaky: Be a friend, change the trend

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.

Your View

I write in response to an article printed Thursday, Oct. 27, talking about Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry saying that the loss to TCU is from a lack of black players. He makes the comment that black players run faster, and that that is why they lost the game. That might be true; it might not be true.What I cannot understand is why this political correctness has gone so far that it has become ridiculous. It seems to me that no one can say anything anymore without being reprimanded for their comments.
