Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a holiday that many students look forward to for a day of rest and relaxation, but about 160 TCU students had other plans.

Brittany Shamlin, student director of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, said this year they had about 160 students sign up for the community service day, about twice as many as last year which was the program's first year.

With TCU's football season over, there's still one more football game that will at least partly involve the university. Super Bowl XLV will be played just down Interstate 30 at Cowboys Stadium on Feb....

Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington discovered in a study that although students believed faculty members could highly impact their professional development, students had not spent much time interacting with their professors.

This study, found in Indiana's 2010 Law School Survey of Student Engagement, coincided with the perspective of sophomore strategic communication major Tyler Woodward.

"I probably don't spend as much time as I should [with my teachers]," Woodward said.

The Fort Worth Contemporary Arts gallery at TCU will host a new exhibit beginning this weekend. The exhibit, titled, "Let's Build a Fort! (Together We Can Shield Ourselves From the Fear and Worry Within...

You're in a rush to class because you're late. The traffic light is green and there is a car coming.

You cross the street anyway, making it necessary for the driver to come to a stop. You are followed by a posse of other students who cross the street at their leisure, stopping even more traffic.

By the time the initial group has crossed the street, the light is red, and the flow of students keeps on coming. When the light is green and traffic is moving again, someone else starts the cycle.

After two disappointing losses on the road, the Horned Frogs hope to redeem themselves at home when they take on Utah Saturday night at 5 p.m. at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

I've heard it more than once or twice: TCU stands out from other schools due to many things, but one is the faculty-to-student ratio that leads to closer and more personal attention for the students.

It's a natural reaction of mine to boast about the relationship between students and teachers when comparing TCU to big public schools. Frankly, I love coming from a school where the professors know their students' names. Even more, they know what organizations they're involved in or where they're from.
