Coliseum seats still lack fans

Coliseum seats still lack fans

Sports marketing is still trying to fill the growing number of empty seats at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.Because the men's basketball team has a 4-14 record, head coach Neil Dougherty said, fans are not remaining loyal.

Dougherty said he thinks that may be part of the reason the team is not playing its best.

"These are your classmates; they need you," Dougherty said. "The student body's attitude should be, 'I'm a Horned Frog. If they are there, I will be there.'"

With more than 5,000 people living on the streets, homelessness in Fort Worth is a problem. But it's not one with many known solutions.In the spring of 2005, a health and human service needs assessment conducted by United Way of Tarrant County identified homelessness as one of the major trouble spots in Fort Worth.

More than 20 percent of respondents surveyed by United Way identified homelessness as a major or minor problem in their areas, up from just over 6 percent in a 1999 survey.

Study Abroad will expand your horizons

Study Abroad will expand your horizons

Paris, Prague, Munich, Rome, the Aeolian Islands in Italy. What do these have in common?I visited them all during my semester abroad in Paris.

All students should have an experience like this.

Study abroad allows students to expand their horizons, meet new people, travel, learn a new culture and perhaps even learn a new language.

I studied abroad during the spring semester of my sophomore year (a year earlier than I would recommend). I was then in my fourth semester of French and have since become a French major.

Some TCU faculty members agree with a federal judge's ruling that teaching intelligent design in science classrooms violates the separation of church and state. Although the ruling only applies to the Dover Area School District in Pennsylvania, the Texas State Board of Education will address the issue when they revise the science curriculum later this year, said Pat Hardy, State Board of Education member for District 11.

Defend your opinions; listen to others'

Defend your opinions; listen to others’

Published Jan 19, 2006

"No Comment."That is everyone's favorite phrase when dealing with the media today.

Although it's frustrating for those at newspapers and those who want updates on a subject, the desire to withhold information is not unreasonable. We live in a society that is built on the flow of information.

One wrong word could open the floodgate of public opinion and crush the one who dared utter such a statement.

Frogs fall yet again

Frogs fall yet again

Published Jan 19, 2006

The Horned Frogs lost their sixth game in row Wednesday night, falling to the San Diego State Aztecs 76-57.As is now a motif this season, the Frogs fell into an early offensive slump from which they could not recover, finishing the game with a weak shooting percentage of 34.

Head coach Neil Dougherty said Wednesday's offensive struggles stemmed primarily from the team's inability to convert turnovers (SDSU had 24) into points.

"If there's any type of letdown, it was a mental one," Dougherty said. "It's hustling hard and not getting anything out of it."

Online Exclusive: Sigur Ros extended review

Published Jan 19, 2006

It will be an unconventional night at the Bass Performance Hall, to say the least.Icelandic rock band Sigur R¢s rarely comes to the United States. Rather than play dark, smoky clubs and bars, however, the band is taking its act to the symphony hall stage.

Often compared to Bj”rk and Radiohead, Sigur R¢s, pronounced "si-ur rose," is Icelandic for "victory rose." The band was formed in 1994, on the same day that lead singer and guitarist Jonsi's sister was born. Her name, Sigurros, gave the band its name.
