Article on murdered transgender woman lacked sensitivity

Published Mar 21, 2011

A story in March 11's paper about Marcal Camero Tye, a transgender woman who was murdered in Arkansas, offended some of our readers. We received numerous emails and phone calls pointing out both a factual error in the story and an error in judgment on the part of the editors.

There was a factual error in the story. Originally, the story listed Tye as a man in women's clothing when she was in fact transgender. The Associated Press corrected the article the same day, but did not issue an official retraction.

Nontraditional students manage more than school

Published Mar 21, 2011

Sheri Milhollin always imagined that she would attend college. She just never thought she would attend college with her children.

Two of Milhollin's children attend TCU and plan to graduate before their mother. Milhollin, a 46-year-old communication studies major, said because she could take only six hours a semester, she might take up to 10 years to graduate.

But she is committed to obtaining her degree. Last year, 155 nontraditional students entered TCU, according to an e-mail written by Director of Transfer Admissions Joael Kelly.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said newly-acquired forward Corey Brewer fits the continuity of the team and likes what the guard can do offensively. With 12 games remaining before the playoffs and with the Mavs a game behind the Los Angeles Lakers for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, the Mavericks are only 3-4 with Brewer on the roster. But the jury is still out on the true impact Brewer could make during a playoff run 8212; he has only averaged 8.9 minutes per game as a Maverick as Carlisle works him into the rotation.

Published Mar 13, 2011

The No. 7 TCU baseball team exited the field of Lupton Stadium with bowed heads and slumped shoulders after losing to unranked Houston Baptist University, 7-4, on Saturday.

Junior short stop Taylor Featherston, who went 2-for-3 at the plate, said the game could have ended differently but the team didn't execute plays that could have changed the game.

"It's never good to lose, but they just played a better baseball game then we did," Featherston said. "They did the things they had to when it counted."
