Bill White can lead Texas to progress

The bulk of incumbent Texas Governor Rick Perry's campaign for re-election has been focused around the strength of the Texas economy, and I couldn't agree with him more that relatively low taxes and limited government involvement have made Texas an attractive place for big businesses to operate. However I'd say Perry has had about as much to do with Texas' economic success as the University of Texas Longhorns' Offensive Coordinator Greg Davis did with the success of former Texas quarterback Vince Young 8212; they both got out of the way and let things take care of themselves.

Letter to the Editor: Soak in the Frogs’ success

Published Nov 1, 2010

To the Editor (and student body): I happened to be the sports editor of the Skiff for three years in the late "70s and early "80s, when F.A. Dry coached and the Frogs had a lot of heart but few stars. It was, perhaps, TCU's football nadir.

I was one of the few who attended nearly all of their games during that period. Those Frogs teams fought hard, but were outmanned, aside from a pretty good quarterback (Steve Stamp), two good receivers (Stanley Washington and Phillip Epps) and a great linebacker (Darrell Patterson).

University organizations trying to dispel low student-voter turnout

Published Nov 1, 2010

Senior Madee Schottleutner voted early, but said she thought she was one of few student voters making the effort.

Schottleutner said she thought students do not vote because of the inconvenience of being away at college and not being in the correct district to vote.

"College students are really lazy and don't think about how [participating in elections] is going to affect them with the voting process," Schottleutner said.

Abraham Lincoln scholar to speak on Civil War, misconceptions

Published Nov 1, 2010

A renowned Abraham Lincoln scholar will dispel 10 common misconceptions about the former president in an event hosted by the history department Tuesday night.

Associate Professor Steven Woodworth said speaker Allen Guelzo's talk is titled "Ten Lies about Lincoln," and it will take place at 7 p.m. in Palko Hall.

Guelzo is the leading scholar on Lincoln and one of the nation's top scholars on the Civil War, Woodworth said.

The event will happen within a week of the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's election to the presidency in 1860, but it is only a coincidence.
