Report: religion becoming more diverse in America

Published Nov 5, 2008

Growing up in a two-faith household, Margaret Foland, whose mother is a devout Catholic and father is a Southern Baptist, said the only fights she remembers growing up were over religion.


The junior theatre major was raised in the Catholic Church, a faith she embraces to this day, with the exception of one little bump in the road.


"My faith wavered and when I got into high school," she said. "So I have come full circle from doubting my own faith to defending it wholeheartedly."

Female roles in movies show women have a long way to go

Published Nov 5, 2008

Last Friday, I was tired and needed a break from the relentless election news, so I checked out two trailers, both for upcoming comedies, from the Internet Movie Database.

The first was 17 Again. In it, Matthew Perry plays a middle-aged man whose wife and two children are apparently not his biggest fans.



Just as Perry is wondering if his life has been a big pit of pointlessness, a chance encounter with a guy who looks a lot like Santa Claus turns him into Zac Efron. Second chances and life lessons are sure to ensue.

Area polling lines slow; High early voting turnout a factor

Published Nov 5, 2008

Long waiting lines were reported in voting stations across the country as Americans stormed to the polls Tuesday in what could be record numbers for the election of President Barack Obama, but traffic was slow at polling stations near campus.

Helen Pierson, election judge at St. Stephen Presbyterian Church, said traffic at the station was slow and steady, most likely because of the high percentage of early voters.



Republican John McCain received 55.4 percent of the votes in Tarrant County, and Obama received 43.7 percent as of 11:04 p.m. Tuesday.

Failure of new meal plan was obvious, predicted

Published Nov 4, 2008

They had all the warning in the world. The outcome was imminent for more than a year. Nearly everybody analyzing the situation said it wouldn't turn out well. But nobody in control elected to do anything about it. It was like somebody seeing dark clouds and hearing the thunder but being surprised it rained shortly after. The lack of foresight is unprecedented and makes it difficult for me to chant the three letters that abbreviate this usually great place.

McCain proved his willingness to sacrifice for America

Published Nov 4, 2008

There is no doubt America needs a change in direction. We're in trouble, fighting a rough economy and a war in a distant land.

The kind of change America needs will make the country stronger both economically and abroad, and though Sen. Barack Obama has made change the cornerstone of his campaign, promising to reshape government in a way we haven't ever seen, only Sen. McCain offers the kind of change to lead America to a stronger future.
