A revamped GI Bill designed to help veterans afford public and private schools alike is being used by 40 incoming student veterans this semester, a university official said.

Stephanie Hules, a veteran affairs officer, said a total of 60 student veterans are currently using the bill at the university.

The university's veteran student population could continue to increase thanks to the new post-Sept. 11 GI Bill, which provides free tuition to veterans who served on active duty for at least 36 months since Sept. 11, 2001, according to the GI Bill Web site.

If you took Interstate 30 on your way back to the university for this fall semester, you may have noticed something that resembles a spacecraft in Arlington. The structure is no UFO but the new playground of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his team. Despite much criticism about the cost of the behemoth in a poor economic climate, the stadium will end up paying for itself.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the final cost of the stadium was about $1.15 billion. That's about the same as TCU tuition for the 2009-2010 academic year, at $28,250, for 40,708 students.

When Sarah Palin became John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential election, I don't think she knew exactly what she was getting herself into.

With an all-American persona and little political experience, she suddenly became a prime media target. She went from a successful governor to Katie Couric's verbal punching bag and she hasn't necessarily done anything to prevent such treatment.

The soccer team is anticipating even more improvement since the team and many returning players have continued to progress during the preseason practices, Dan Abdalla, head coach, said.

Abdalla said the team is expecting more success this year.

"I'm just really excited," Abdalla said. "We've come together really well as a team."

So, you just got sprung from the big house and you're looking for something to get into. Toiling away long hours at a minimum wage job? Living in grandma's basement for the winter, again? Signing with a moderately successful NFL franchise in the scenic and rather chilly Northeast? Sure, you think you could work with that last one.

Your new lease on life depends on one little condition: the first paycheck's got to be at least a million and a half. American dollars, that is.
