The April 7, 2009, article "Students start petition against concealed-gun bill," ends by stating that University of Texas at Austin sophomore Jackie Mintz, one of the two students who put together the petition, -said she doesn't mind that people carry guns as long as she has the choice to avoid places where guns can be carried. But this wouldn't be the case on a college campus, she said.

"I don't have a choice," Mintz said. "I have to sit in my English class if I want to pass the class and graduate."

Freshmen will have more options next school year thanks to changes to the Freshman Interest Groups on campus, a university official said.

Last September, when he was running for office, President Barack Obama made a promise that families making under $250,000 wouldn't see a tax increase of any kind.

Carrying on the tradition of using their talents to give back to the community, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma teamed up to play a benefit concert for the family of a sick child in Birdville this month.

The concert was the culmination of a week-long fundraising campaign to benefit Angel, the 3-year-old son of Francisco Menjivar, a janitor at Birdville High School.

Angel was born with an esophageal hernia that required an operation to repair. The surgery, completed in November, was successful, but left the family with a financial hardship.

The women's soccer team closed out its spring schedule in exciting fashion with a 4-4 tie against the Texas Tech University Red Raiders at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium on Saturday night.

The Horned Frogs jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a pair of goals from freshman forward Jordan Calhoun and freshman defender Kaitlyn Shelledy.

After a sluggish start, Texas Tech responded with three unanswered goals, including one with a minute remaining in the first half. The Red Raiders led 3-2 with just under 20 minutes left to play in the game.

Bumper stickers are a wildly popular form of expression in America, but I view them as a drive-by offering of an unasked-for opinion.

See, a dynamic debate is sort of like a one-on-one fist fight for opinions, whereas bumper stickers are more like punching someone in the face and then zooming away in a golf cart.

Having strong convictions is great, but handing them out without a chance for dispute is both spineless and annoying.
