KTCU shutdown wise security move

Published Oct 26, 2007

Security seems to top the list of concerns anywhere from businesses to schools to airports.TCU is no exception to this rule especially with the recent harassing phone calls made to KTCU disc jockies Tuesday night.

These calls were severe enough to prompt security guards to escort the DJs home. With something as unorthodox as a disgruntled listener making threats to a student radio station, the RTVF faculty and TCU Police acted exceptionally quickly and diligently to safeguard the affected students.

A TCU graduate said his love of Fort Worth motivated him to take over as CEO of United Way Tarrant County after more than 30 years in the banking industry.Tim McKinney will join the United Way on Nov. 19 after serving as executive vice president of Texas Capital Bank, said Tom Hund, chairman of the United Way's board of directors.

"I grew up here. I was raised here," McKinney said. "I worked here, and I have a special place in the community."

He Said: Though good for social life, lack of college men alarming

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.

Published Oct 25, 2007

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.

Varying teaching styles, beliefs deserve respect

Published Oct 25, 2007

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.
