Given that alcohol violations have increased 70 percent this fall as compared to last, it is abundantly clear that students living on campus need to exercise more discretion in their consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Such a marked increase in the occurrence of the violations shows that dorm room get-togethers and groups returning from a night out are quickly evolving into loud nuisances to other residents of on-campus living facilities.

Relief could be on the way for students who have lived in converted lounge spaces or tripled rooms this semester.

Housing and Residence Life began accepting room change requests for the spring 2010 semester on Nov. 9. Because of a lack of vacancies on campus, students who lived in lounge spaces and tripled rooms will receive first pick of available dorm rooms.

Craig Allen, director of Housing and Residence Life, said that in previous years students searched available spaces and made room changes themselves on my.tcu.edu.

Is there an age limit on how we dress? Should there be a dress code for life, or is it about freedom of personal expression?

My daughter is having a "Twilight" themed party this weekend. All the guests will be decked out in their New Moon finery. My daughter insisted it would be "so much fun" if I wore a Twilight shirt as well. I slunk into Hot Topic and nudged two teenagers aside so I could settle on a shirt. I finally choose one featuring Taylor Lautner. Not only is he extremely attractive, but he looks young enough that I felt a little like a sex offender.

A California woman scheduled to deploy for Afghanistan did not arrive to her departure Nov. 6 because she needed to care for her infant son, according to an Associated Press report.

Twenty-one-year-old Alexis Hutchinson made the right choice in this case. According to the report, she was arrested after she missed her unit's flight that was going to Afghanistan. She is currently being held in Georgia, which was supposed to be her departure location.

Each day, Jo Carter, the liaison specialist for homeless students in the Fort Worth Independent School District, sorts through a massive stack of forms on her desk.

The forms, which steadily increase in number each day, ask a series of questions that help to identify students in need of assistance because they are homeless. The forms are the only way the school district has of seeking these children in need, and they cannot reflect actual number of homeless children, Carter said.

When an event is advertised as a "free concert" or "dishing on everything from guys to fashion," no one expects to hear the name "Jesus". In fact, people have gotten upset about it.

AFTERdark and Girls' Night Out, two recent campus events, were not advertised as outreaches, and many people were surprised when the Christian gospel was presented to them, students said. However, the university isn't making any plans to change the way future events like these are advertised.
