Director Wes Anderson, with the help of three remarkably talented actors, managed to craft a film that is not only inspiring and funny, but is also one of the most original films of the year. Perhaps the most atypical attribute of "The Darjeeling Limited" was its prologue, "Hotel Chevalier," a free short film released on iTunes last month starring Natalie Portman and the films' co-writer Jason Schwartzman. The prologue will accompany the movie when it is released in Fort Worth theaters this Friday.

What's the deal with all of these sandwich shops?The surrounding area and TCU are under invasion.

Sandwich shops are running wild and it's getting a little out of hand.

By my count there are eight different sandwich shops to choose from.

Go ahead and do a little sandwich math and you'll probably come up with more sandwich options than a human could ever need.

Deco Deli, Lenny's Sub Shop, Loafin' Joe's, Potbelly Sandwich Works, Quizno's Subs, Sub Connection, Subway and Which Wich? are all available to satisfy the public's sandwich needs.

Located in the woodlands of Waxahachie, Screams Halloween Theme Park resembles an abandoned New England Colonial village straight from the Salem witch trials of 1692.Trees tower over the pathways, and shrieks of the night lead customers to vendors, including tarot card readers, henna tattoo artists and gift shops. The park is filled with ghostly noises and new fear lurks behind every corner.

Screams targets from ages 12 and under, who played in the Spooky Hollow Children's Area, to college students and adults, who drank from the five different beers at The Taboo Tavern.

Police say they have identified a man they think is responsible for a harassing phone call that led to the temporary closure of KTCU FM 88.7 "The Choice."TCU Police took the case Tuesday night, when a KTCU disc jockey became uncomfortable after an angry listener called complaining about the station's format, leading to a temporary evacuation of the station located in Moudy Building South.

Police have identified the caller and have a picture of him, said Steve McGee, TCU police chief.

Although the Horned Frogs still plan to compete in this weekend's Mountain West Conference Championships, their travel plans have been altered.The meet was moved to Albuquerque, N.M., from Mission Bay Park, Calif., in the San Diego area, because of wildfires in the area.

Head coach Shawn Winget said the team is concerned about the situation, but it has not affected their preparation.

I think the Beach Boys had the right idea when they sang, "Two girls for every boy." I'm no betting man, but I know favorable odds when I see them, and attending a school where the undergraduate majority is the opposite sex has its advantages.

With a TCU population that is 58 percent women, it is easy to see how in the next few years the Beach Boys' light-hearted tune could turn prophetic in the realm of higher education at least.

That's quite alright with me.

Men once chose to exclude women from higher education; now they choose to exclude themselves. A recent article in the Star-Telegram stated BMOC - Big Man On Campus - might as well mean "Boys Missing On Campus."

Females make up 58 percent of TCU's student body, about 1 percent above the national average. For this reason, I would like to introduce the acronym WMMOC - Women Missing Men On Campus.

I don't miss the men who aren't around as much as I miss the men in the boys who are.

The volleyball team's loss to the Baylor Bears on Wednesday night boiled down to passing, the head coach said following a 3-0 defeat."If you can't pass, you can't win," head coach Prentice Lewis said after the 23-30, 27-30, 24-30 loss.

Lewis said the team could not get sophomore middle blocker Kourtney Edwards the ball because of their poor passing. Edwards would finish with 11 kills for the Horned Frogs, who now move to 18-9 on the season.

Universities nationwide strive to uphold the standards established by the idea of academic freedom.Although the necessary means for maintaining standards of truth, responsibility and acceptability in the learning process are present at most institutions, the end result has not been that of academic freedom for some university professors. Middle-Eastern studies professors have sometimes gotten the short end of the stick.

It's about that time again. There is a chill in the air, and the holiday season is upon us. Only one month stands in the way of Thanksgiving, and Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa aren't far behind.It's...
