Letter to the Editor: University shouldn’t endorse immoral activities

Published Apr 14, 2009

It has come to my attention that there will be gay living quarters on campus, sanctioned by the university. This is an accommodation to immoral living. Would the university allow men and women to room together on campus?

Where are the voices of the students?



Students, this your chance to voice your opinion. This your chance to stand tall. Please stand up for what you believe. Have a debate.

Campus police updates camera equipment

Published Apr 14, 2009

The TCU Police Department is working to keep up with the times when it comes to surveillance camera technology, the department's chief said.

"Camera technology is changing so fast that we don't want to get locked into one specific system that isn't capable of keeping up with the pace," TCU Police Chief Steve McGee said.



The economy has also caused the police department to act sensibly when purchasing the new cameras, McGee said.

'Tension' becomes the teacher in student-run exhibit

‘Tension’ becomes the teacher in student-run exhibit

Published Apr 14, 2009

Whether it's working under a looming deadline or learning to work as a team, sometimes tension can inspire great art.

The Tension Art Exhibit is a project for associate professor Cameron Schoepp's Seminar in Art Professions, a class required for juniors in the studio art major. The gallery's opening has spent a semester in the works, with students having to find a space, fix it up to showcase their talent and most importantly, find people to attend.

University should think commitments through

Published Apr 14, 2009

Stepping back to evaluate a situation is usually a good approach to solving a problem. Too bad the university does this after - not before - signing on the dotted line.

Chancellor Victor Boschini said in a statement Monday that the university will not launch the Living Learning Communities scheduled to start next fall. A committee will review whether the themed residential communities are compatible with the university mission, and the committee's recommendations will be forwarded to the board of trustees, Boschini said in the statement.

Football analysis: Young leads group of unproven wideouts

Published Apr 14, 2009

Although not as formidable as their counterparts in the running attack, the Frogs' wide receivers proved they were a force to be reckoned with during the 2008 season.

The key member of the team's wide receiving corps in 2009 will be junior Jimmy Young. Young was far and away the Frogs' greatest threat through the air in 2008 when he caught 59 passes for 988 yards and five touchdowns. He had 667 more yards than the receiver with the second most yards.

Dueling columns: Tiger Woods’ prospects at Masters

Golf's superstar will succeed in bid for fifth green jacket


The greatest athlete of our generation will take to the course today at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. And make no doubt about it, Tiger Woods is going to win the 73rd Masters Tournament this weekend.

Tiger's battle back from major knee surgery has been well documented. He returned to golf amongst unprecedented fanfare Feb. 26 at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona. His bid for a triumphant, victorious return fell short that weekend as he fell in the second round of match play.

Cheaters give citizens little incentive to pay taxes

Published Apr 9, 2009

It is the most wonderful time of the year. I am not speaking of Christmas, but rather of the national holiday that Americans hold very dear to their hearts: tax day.

Indeed, the carnage that is April 15 and the frenzied weeks leading up to it are a bittersweet time. Some rejoice in getting small amounts of their hard-earned dollars back while others, myself included, deal with further federal wallet draining.



However, several external factors are making it more difficult than usual to pay up this year.

Newspapers unparalleled in service to society

Published Apr 9, 2009

Newspapers are dying.

Thanks, I've got it. Personally, I'm sick of people telling me newspaper industry is dying and then wondering why I get annoyed. How would you like it if I said your job was irrelevant?



But just as television killed the radio, the Internet is killing newspapers and those in the industry aren't doing a thing to stop it.



So here is my modest proposal.

Initiative makes victims out of LGBT community

Published Apr 9, 2009

The university's gay and lesbian community has recently found itself at the center of attention, and in my opinion, has been inaccurately represented.

The Skiff, along with local news outlets, both print and TV, have featured stories on the Iris Reaction initiative and the new DiversCity Q community. While I see some good coming from both projects, I see more harm than good in the long run.



I believe that the longer that the LGBT community portrays themselves as victims, then the longer the world will see us as such.
