Production of “The Crucible” begins Tuesday

Published Nov 15, 2010

The university production of the Tony Award-winning play "The Crucible" will keep the audience thinking about the issues and plot even after the production is over, said Krista Scott, assistant professor of voice and acting.

TCU's theatre production of Arthur Miller's play will open at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Hays Theatre.

"It is one of those shows that grabs you and doesn't let go until you walk out of the theater, and even then, it doesn't leave you for a while," Scott said.

Frogs one game away from claiming MWC title

Frogs one game away from claiming MWC title

Published Nov 15, 2010

Head football coach Gary Patterson has said it is his philosophy that a football team only needs to win a game by one point. On Saturday, the third-ranked Frogs (11-0, 7-0 Mountain West Conference) won by just five points, their smallest margin of victory all season, with a 40-35 win against San Diego State University.

"The one point is just to win," Patterson said. "Because if we would have lost 42-40 I don't think anyone would have been happy, so for us I think 40-35 was a win."

Childhood aspirations and “the real world” shouldn’t mix early

Published Nov 15, 2010

It is common for parents to tell their kids to reach beyond their limits and follow their dreams. Not many expect them to try after something as ambitious as climbing to the summit of the world's largest mountain.

In May, a 13-year-old boy by the name of Jordan Romero not only contemplated the action, but summited Mount Everest with the help of his father and stepmother. His story has now inspired other younger people to try the same, such as nine-year-old Tseten Dorje, son of Sherpa Pemba Dorje, who holds an Everest record of his own.

The flu vaccine offered by the university this season contains both the seasonal flu vaccine and H1N1 to help prevent swine flu, the university medical director said.

Airlines should recover by good industry policies, not hidden fees

Published Nov 15, 2010

During the somewhat recent recession in America, airlines and related industries experienced some of the worst effects from the wilting economy and now customers are paying for these misfortunes with their wallets. Large airline corporations, such as American Airlines and Delta, experienced shrinking profits, layoffs and fewer customers.

Now airlines are making money again and seem to be profitable, and customers apparently are the victims again in this case. Profit margins for major carriers are up 9 percent, which is a result of customers paying more in fees.
