Rap amplifies overlooked voices

Published Nov 30, 2007

Don't hate the rapper. Hate the game.Here's the way Grandmaster Flash figured rap: "Let's keep it underground. Nobody outside the Bronx would like this stuff anyway."

He was one of hip-hop's most notorious artists, and he was dead wrong.

Rap music, originally just one element in the wider genre of hip-hop, now has evolved into its own style with several sub-categories.

It has become a multi-billion dollar industry spanning fashion wear, movies, television, food and even automobiles.

Show striking writers due respect

Published Nov 30, 2007

Writers: people who put their creative thoughts and ideas into words for the world to enjoy. OK, so that definition is a little biased because I am a writer, but basically a writer is a person who puts thoughts into words, right?

Well, sort of.

I bet if you asked one of the writers of the NBC show, "Heroes," what they did for a living, they would have a much fancier way of saying, "I'm a television show writer."

Men’s Basketball: Red Raiders hand team first loss

Published Nov 29, 2007

The Texas Tech men's basketball team's inconsistencies could have given TCU a win Tuesday night.Preventing it from happening, the Horned Frogs' foul troubles and 26 points from Tech guard Martin Zeno pushed the Red Raiders to a 71-58 win at the United Spirit Arena.

"Our guys did a pretty good job of hanging in there," Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said. "Didn't look all that when we were 13 points behind. But we came back, I thought, well."

The Red Raiders (5-2) showed their flaws in the first half, but kept the score close.

After finishing a layup off her own missed 3-point attempt, Adrianne Ross was feeling it.It was just one of eight buckets in a half to remember for the Lady Frogs' All-American guard, who dropped 19 points in the first half. Her offensive output steadied the pace for TCU's 75-63 win against Fresno State Wednesday night.

The win snaps a two-game skid and was the team's 23rd win in its last 25 games at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, erasing the bad taste of a rare home defeat against Cal on Nov. 23.

U.S. holiday traditions odd, illogical

Published Nov 29, 2007

Returning from a wonderful time of family gathering and football watching during the Thanksgiving break, I found myself questioning the function of America's holiday traditions. When boiled down to the basics, some behavior deemed normal during our most celebrated days seems downright unusual.

Let's start with Halloween.

You get decked out as a pirate, a ghost or Superman to beat on the doors of strangers, demanding candy and threatening a trick if said goodies are not handed over promptly.

SGA president vetoes resolution requesting return of KTCU jazz

Published Nov 29, 2007

The Student Government Association resolution to bring jazz programming back to KTCU FM 88.7 "The Choice" was vetoed Wednesday by the SGA president. Jace Thompson, SGA president, said he vetoed the resolution because it did not represent the interests of the entire student body.

Thompson said he talked to Russell Scott, KTCU station manager, and another student who informed him that no one had consulted them before building the resolution. Thompson said the resolution's author should have researched KTCU's perspective to validate the resolutions' necessity.
