New residential hall position to promote sustainability

Published Mar 4, 2010

Students with a passion for sustainable living will be able to help lead the environmental awareness movement in their residence halls because a new position in the Residence Hall Association, the Eco Rep, will be available for students to apply for next semester.

Brian Sullivan, a junior business and environmental science major, came up with the idea while enrolled in the Chasing Carbon class last semester.

Navy should have allowed women on subs earlier

Published Mar 4, 2010

Last week, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told Congress of plans to finally allow women to serve aboard submarines, according to a CNN article.

It's about time.



I was actually unaware that women were not allowed to serve aboard submarines until reading the CNN story, and I wondered why they were not allowed to serve there when women were initially allowed to enlist in the late 1970s.

Men’s basketball to challenge New Mexico

Published Mar 3, 2010

Fresh off their Saturday night win over Colorado State, the Horned Frogs are facing a schedule that will make it hard to close out the season as a showdown against No. 8 New Mexico on Wednesday night in Albuquerque looms large.

The then-No. 23 Lobos defeated the Horned Frogs (13-16, 5-9 Mountain West) in Fort Worth in January, 73-57. New Mexico (27-3, 13-2 MWC) is currently ranked first in the conference and defeated No. 14 BYU on Saturday, 83-81.

Baseball team defeats Roadrunners 17-12

Published Mar 3, 2010

Sophomore Jason Coats knocked in a career high 7 RBIs as the No. 7 Horned Frog Baseball Team defeated the UT-San Antonio Roadrunners in a slugfest Tuesday night, 17 - 12, at Lupton Stadium.

On a night that hit as low as 42 degrees, Coats went 3 for 5 including one homerun and a double. The Frogs scored in all but one inning. Every Frog in the starting line up got at least one hit and scored a run.



Despite two errors that cost two runs and the TCU pitching giving up two big innings, the Frogs' offense was able to pick up more than enough runs to get the win.

Hutchison concedes to Perry

Published Mar 3, 2010

Though Republican gubernatorial candidate Kay Bailey Hutchison conceded the Republican primary to Gov. Rick Perry Tuesday night, they were only four votes apart at local voting site Paschal High School with Hutchison at the lead.

According to the Associated Press, as of 10:52 p.m., statewide, Perry had 51 percent of the vote while Hutchison had 31 percent. Republican Debra Medina had close to 20 percent of the vote.



Perry will face Democrat and former Houston Mayor Bill White, who clinched the Democratic nomination.

Jerry Hughes has a bright future ahead

Published Mar 3, 2010

Former TCU defensive end Jerry Hughes is known for his chameleon-like ability in football, and is proving it at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Hughes easily transitioned from high school running back to college defensive end, and now rumors are flying that he may play outside linebacker in the National Football League.

I think this would be a wise decision, considering his just under 6-foot-3-inch, 255-pound frame. He is big enough to push the opposing offense around, but quick enough to be hard to block.

Politics is about competition, not meeting in the middle

Published Mar 3, 2010

Last week, the legislators in Washington decided to get together and try to create a health care plan everyone would agree on. As expected, both sides merely pointed fingers at each other and nothing got accomplished. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even said this would hurt U.S. reputation in the world.

This got me thinking about this whole bipartisanship thing and figuring out it's a scam and a way for politicians to quiet the American voice.

Legislation stalls at Congress because of the public, not the president

Published Mar 3, 2010

When President Barack Obama decided to initiate significant health care reform, it is not likely that he was attempting to infuriate a majority of American citizens. It is a sad reality, however, that most Americans have lost hope in health care reform. But the lack of support for health care reform is not a result of Obama's mistakes. It's the ineffectiveness of the U.S. Congress that has prevented the potential for health care reform from becoming a reality.

Bill passes in SGA to change campaign policies

Published Mar 3, 2010

The House of Student Representatives on Tuesday night passed the first in a series of bills aimed at cleaning up the policies for campaign materials.

The bill, proposed by the Elections and Regulations Committee, changed a section of the Student Body Code that limited the number of campaign signs allowed in campus buildings. The new rules will defer to the policy of each individual building and allow 10 signs in buildings that do not have a policy. The bill passed with 33 out of 34 votes and little discussion.
