Republicans have talked extensively about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as the new health care bill. The bill passed this year after Barack Obama made it one of his main priorities on the 2008 campaign trail.

Democrats and Americans saw a broken health care system where people were being denied coverage and where insurance premiums were skyrocketing. Since the passage of the bill, however, many Americans are skeptical of what it contains.

Morgan Burns got into trouble with her parents for an $800 phone bill after sending over 12,000 texts in one month during her freshman year.

As a result, Burns, a senior strategic communication major, now has unlimited texting and pays her own phone bill. Even though she now has unlimited texting, she said that she still texts less.

"I don't know why I text less now," she said. "I didn't get texting until my freshman year of college, so I guess it was exciting that I had it so I used it all the time."

Students will have the opportunity this week to make a real difference in the global community through Pennies for Peace, a fundraiser that seeks to empower remote communities, especially schools, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to the Pennies for Peace website.

The Center for International Studies: TCU Abroad is holding the fundraiser all week in honor of the Pennies for Peace founder, Greg Mortenson, who will visit campus next semester. Members of the Neeley Fellows Program and communication studies classes are also sponsoring the fundraiser.

It was a night of records for No. 5 TCU for both the team and individual players as the Horned Frogs defeated Air Force 38-7 Saturday night.
