Alito: Better than Miers, but still possibly too conservative

Our president seems to be missing the point on a variety of issues. While I commend his most recent move in regard to the Supreme Court, he still has a long way to go. Judge Samuel Alito, who has been nominated to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, is by far a better candidate than Harriet Miers, but is still lacking.Alito is serving on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, where he has been for 15 years. He was nominated in 1990 by former president George H. W. Bush. At the time, both conservatives and liberals commended him and said that his experience and record served him well.

The majority of advising on campus tends to leave something to be desired.Some students are misadvised and don't graduate on time. Others may not take the time to see their adviser. And still, others sign up for classes they don't need to graduate because no one - advisers or students - seems to know what is needed.

But TCU now has the opportunity to do something about it.

With the adoption of the new Core Curriculum, faculty, staff, administrators and even students have a chance to change advising for the better.
