Four members of the TCU chapter of the NAACP have been elected officers on the state executive board for the youth division of organization.Erica Parker, Allison Robinson, Brittany Conley and Dominique Akins will not only be serving TCU students as representatives for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on campus, but they will also be leading students across the state for the next two years, officers said.

The four TCU students are part of a seven-member state board.

Monday's forum for the political candidates should be front page news. It should, in fact, be above the fold front page news, but am I right in supposing the Skiff could not justify printing such a mediocre, poorly written and researched story on the top of page one?I am not surprised at the lack of pictures - as all present at the forum can attest, the Skiff did not make an appearance. Not only did the candidates expect the Skiff to be there, it is a duty of this publication to inform the students, and the Skiff did not adequately do this.

Differences make relationships much more difficult.Race has always been the difference movies latch on to, but religion and age are pretty important as well.

The topic of food on campus is like the lack of facility space and student parking - it's endlessly debated. Students often complain about the variety of dining plans and the cost of food, but TCU administrators, Sodexho managers and Student Government Association officers maintain that students are getting a better deal than they think.

A common complaint among 100 TCU students interviewed was that dining plans cannot be used at surrounding community restaurants, like many other university students are able to do.

I write in response to an article printed Thursday, Oct. 27, talking about Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry saying that the loss to TCU is from a lack of black players. He makes the comment that black players run faster, and that that is why they lost the game. That might be true; it might not be true.What I cannot understand is why this political correctness has gone so far that it has become ridiculous. It seems to me that no one can say anything anymore without being reprimanded for their comments.
