"Just say no."

If you attended public school anywhere in the Midwest or South, regions collectively referred to as the Bible Belt, it's probably safe to say you are familiar with this position on sex, drugs and alcohol.

However, recent studies show Americans could learn a thing or two about teen sex from the Dutch.

In her study "Sex, love, and autonomy in the teenage sleepover," sociologist Amy Schalet examined attitudes towards teen sexuality in the Netherlands compared to those of the United States, highlighting the acceptance and progressiveness of the former.

After three different homes, TCU can rest easy in Fort Worth

From starting near Hell's Half Acre to its time in Thorp Spring, Texas, to the fire that destroyed the Waco facilities, the university is finally able to celebrate its 100th anniversary in a hometown.

From the days when the old groundskeeper Cowboy Monroe would spray students with his garden hose if they dared step on the grass to when some pranksters placed a local cow in President Waits' office, the university has a rich history in Fort Worth.

Film Review: Machete

Film Review: Machete

Published Sep 16, 2010

Are you looking for a gritty action movie with a low-budget feel, but big-name actors? Then "Machete" is for you. How about a political movie where every nook and cranny is filled with serious, literal allegories to the present immigration situation? If that's the case, probably not.

While most don't take it that way, some people on the far right believe it is a call to action, which is obviously nonsense when you view the film.

Dear City of Waco,

It has been more than 100 years since we were graced with your company and goodwill; more than a century since a fire on the fourth floor of our Main Building did more than $150,000 in damage to our facilities and resources and almost as long since we were forced to relocate due to financial strain.

Freedom of speech deserves day of honor

Published Sep 16, 2010

As tempting as it may be to silence flag burners or to censor those opinions we'd rather not hear, we must appreciate the privilege we have been given to live in a country that provides each of us with both guidelines and freedom.

Though allowing certain viewpoints to flourish might make us cringe, it is still important that Americans remember to appreciate the laws and freedoms provided for in the Constitution.

It's only the third week of the college football season, but the season's prominent theme is already clear: upsets.

The prominent theme of upsets in only the third week of the college football season had changed some of the landscape.

After a tough loss to Boise State, Virginia Tech scheduled a tune-up game against Football Championship Subdivision team James Madison. The Hokies were heavily favored and it seemed like there was no way they would lose at home. The final score of the game was 21-16 and James Madison shocked the college football world.

According to the AKA website, the sorority is an international service organization and is the oldest Greek-lettered organization established by African-American college-educated women.

AKA President Liberty Bell said trying to revive the sorority has been challenging, but she takes it in stride every day.

Obama's claim to Christianity is personal matter between him and God

Obama’s claim to Christianity is personal matter between him and God

When coaches or parents get caught preaching something they don't practice, their empty excuse is often "do as I say, not as it do."

Recently, in one of the many examples of the media blowing a hardly-newsworthy story out of proportion, many outlets have questioned the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's claim to be a Christian. Besides being annoyed to be hearing yet another story that doesn't warrant appearance in the "news," I've found the whole thing to be ridiculous.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few days, you have probably heard about the controversy surrounding Ines Sainz, a female sports reporter for Mexico's Azteca television network. Last Saturday, Sainz entered the New York Jets locker room before their season opener against the Baltimore Ravens and waited to interview Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. While waiting, she was the subject of catcalls, jokes and lewd remarks from some of the players, largely because of her attire 8212; tight-fitting jeans and a tight white blouse.
