The campus community is experiencing a heightened sense of caution after a recent series of sexual assaults involving female students.

Last Tuesday's assault involving a female student being threatened with a knife while walking on campus grounds was a tragic reminder of the times in which we live. Terrible things done by even more terrible people can happen to students -- even when they think they are in one of the safest places imaginable.

Frogs not the only strong defense during the games

Published Oct 20, 2009

A team with more members than any football team that will play on the field at Amon Carter Stadium is present at every home football game, but most people would not give anyone on this squad a second look.

Campus police chief Steve McGee said 17 out of 24 of the university's police officers work every home game. With three more assigned to patrol campus, very few days off exist when the Horned Frogs play at home.

Female Halloween costumes should be scary not sexy

Female Halloween costumes should be scary not sexy

For women, the pirate becomes "sexy pirate," the witch transforms into "glamorous witch" (glamorous meaning "with less clothing") and even Freddy Krueger morphs into the sexy "Ms. Krueger" (complete with strategically placed claw slashes). For those of us not interested in the "sexy" look, finding a Halloween costume is really just an exercise in attempting to find an outfit that doesn't make us look like playmates.
