No reason for whaling

No reason for whaling

Published Sep 16, 2009

I was recently asked to select a topic for a class. The topic had to be one of which I could gather a considerable amount of information. It had to have some form of controversy, and it had to present a series of viewpoints.

I could have chosen a wildly publicized, political issue like health care, immigration, abortion and the like. Instead, I decided to go a somewhat obscure route and chose the current situation dealing with whaling in Japan. It's more of an issue than we might think.

Web site to let students voice opinions, not gossip

Web site to let students voice opinions, not gossip

Hubba-U.com, a Web site started by and run by TCU students, gives students an outlet to voice their opinions. Just don't expect it to be another JuicyCampus, the Web site's founder said.

The main purpose of the site is to be a media outlet for students to share information, showcase their talents and voice their opinions, said junior Mike Vosters, a marketing major and founder of Hubba-U.



"This is not JuicyCampus," Vosters said. "This is not for gossip; this not to degrade people. We're trying to keep it as positive as possible without censoring it."

Crime investigations delayed when not immediately reported

Published Sep 16, 2009

The recent report of a sexual assault on campus highlights the difficulties police face when conducting investigations when victims do not immediately report a crime.

TCU Police Sgt. Kelly Ham said not calling university police can delay investigations by a week in some cases.



"The sooner the university police receive information about a crime on campus, the quicker they can start investigating," Ham said. "The longer it takes to get the information, the harder it is to find witnesses and video evidence."
