Charlotte Berry, a sophomore film-TV-digital media major, thought most FTDM students planned to work in film careers. A new FTDM class, television news production, which will become available in the spring, could cause FTDM students to consider careers in television news as well.

"This will give them a hands-on experience with television and broadcasting," Berry said. "So maybe that will make them want to go into television more than just film and give them a broader opportunity in the real world."

Former President George W. Bush told thousands of people gathered at the Fort Worth Convention Center on Monday to not shy away from making difficult decisions and to obey their conscience.

In his speech, Bush defended his decision-making during his two terms.



"You have to be willing to make decisions. . . I never shied away from decisions," Bush said. "It's so simple in life to chase popularity, but popularity is fleeting; it's not real. What is real is a set of principles, principles etched into your heart, and my advice is always follow your conscience."
