City’s smoking ban not enough

Published Aug 28, 2007

Smoking in public areas has been contested for at least the last decade. Gone are the days when smokers and non-smokers were separated by a small wall or a walkway in restaurants. But bars have never had such a distinct and "clear" division.

The votes are in and most say yes to not smoking in open areas. Fort Worth has legislated a ban on smoking in restaurants but not bars.

Bookstore woes annoy students

Published Aug 24, 2007

During the past two years, going to the bookstore to retrieve the necessary materials has been an experience that left students dissatisfied and downright angry. This is not due to the good people who work for hours on end. This is due to broken promises university officials have delivered to students in regards to the construction of the bookstore.

It should bother the typical student that officials decided to delay construction until this past summer, considering what the situation has been like for the past two years.

While strolling down Houston Street on a Friday night, one is likely to see Rome Milan in the window front of his family's gallery, intently applying paint to a canvas with a palette knife, wearing hats from various parts of the world.

Milan had a modest artistic beginning, sparked by a T-shirt at age 13.
