RTVF department necessitates resources

TCU has many great programs. It may be expensive to attend this school, but we are told that our money is well-spent, and the investment will last us the rest of our lives.Overall, I have found this to be true. I am approaching my junior year as a part of the Schieffer School of Journalism, and thankfully, I have not had any problems enrolling in any of my basic-level classes that are prerequisites for upper level, skill-teaching courses.

Online Exclusive: “Glory Road” extended review

Published Jan 19, 2006

My best friend doesn't understand why I keep going to sports movies. "It's not like you don't know who's going to win," she always tells me.

"Glory Road," the true story of the Texas Western University men's basketball team, which opened Friday, reminded me exactly why knowing the ending doesn't matter.

Josh Lucas ("Sweet Home Alabama", "A Beautiful Mind") plays a convincing Don Haskins, a coach who leads the unknown 1966 Miners to a 27-1 season and an NCAA championship over the University of Kentucky.

He's chronicled turning 40, lampooned Washington, turning 50, and even writing itself. Now, with "Dave Barry's Money Secrets," Dave Barry is back to spoof the world of money.Barry has never been one for subtle humor - which is immediately evidenced by the book's subtitle, "Like: Why Is There a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar?" - but his satirical take on American economics is razor sharp.

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.

Defend your opinions; listen to others’

"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.
