Students at TCU can enjoy Union Grounds' selection of Starbucks coffee and treats, but what many appreciate most is that it is open into the late hours of the night when caffeine is often needed most. Cheryl Tucker has been working at the establishment for the past three years. She takes the night shift starting at around 6 p.m. until 2:15 or 3:15 a.m.

When does the general crowd come in during those times?

"Usually from about 8 to 10 and then I get another crowd about 12 to 1."

Do you ever encounter any intoxicated students?

The third time's the charm, or at least, it may be for Texas Senate Bill 16.

The Texas Senate finally approved the bill Thursday. The bill was passed by the senate in 2007 and 2009 but died in the House. The bill would require a doctor to perform an ultrasound on women before they have an abortion, and the doctor would have to describe the images and explain the progress of the fetus' organs and limbs. The ultrasound would not be required if the reason for the abortion was for incest, rape or fetal abnormalities.

Technology is taking over 8212; at least, it appears to be that way at Stacked, a California restaurant. According to a Feb. 16 article in USA Today, Stacked's customers will order from iPads. Essentially,...

I have a unique appreciation for the value of books. As long as I can remember, my family has collected them. Bookshelves are present in every room in my house. When we last attempted a count, we gave up in the neighborhood of 5,000.

It may be slightly surprising, then, that I do not condemn the transformation of Houston's Lamar High School's library to get rid of books in order to add a coffee shop and e-books. Needless to say, this was not the most popular move. One of the more critical articles in the Houston Press used words such as "appalling," "stupid" and "terrible."

Frogs' freshmen Andrew Mitchell and Stefan Crichton led No. 4 TCU to a 2-0 victory over Baylor Tuesday afternoon in Waco. Mitchell threw 6 2/3 innings for his first collegiate win and Crichton closed...

Frogs' junior Brooke Beeler shot a school record 7-under-par 65 and holds the individual lead, while TCU is in fourth place after Monday's opening two rounds of the Central District Invitational.

Beeler's opening-round 65 broke the previous TCU mark of 66, set by current Frogs' senior Prisela Campbell at the 2009 LSU Golf Classic. Beeler flirted with the record in November when she carded an opening-round 67 en route to medalist honors at the Alamo Invitational.

With a 6-under 138, Beeler has a three-stroke lead over LSU freshman Austin Ernst entering today's final round.

While it is always great to have civil dialogue on the issue of religion, I took some objection to the recent letter to the editor about the merits of creationism as a field of study. The letter said many respected scientists worldwide have argued with scientific data for the creationist theory.

Those three main points 8212; that many scientists believe in creationism, that scientists use scientific data to defend creationism, and that creationism is a theory 8212; are all wrong.

TCU junior Brooke Beeler was the individual runner-up, just one stroke off the pace, to lead No. 30 TCU to a fourth-place finish after Tuesday's final round of the Central District Invitational in Parrish, Fla.

Beeler, who shot a TCU record 65 in Monday's opening round, finished with a 2-under-par 214, one stroke behind LSU freshman Austin Ernst.

Beeler won the Alamo Invitational in November and was seeking her second tournament title of the year. She also tied for second at October's Windy City Collegiate Classic in her home state of Illinois.
