A former student who accused three former student athletes of sexual assault in 2006 has filed a personal injury lawsuit against the university, alleging that various administrators attempted to cover up the reported assault.

The plaintiff, identified only by the initials K.S., said a university official "urged her not to report the drugging and gang-rape," according to the petition filed Friday in a Tarrant County district court.

With only 20 days left before the presidential election, campus political groups are pushing to increase voter turnout through rallies, fundraising events and debate-watching parties. Representatives from both groups say they are looking to increase their presence on campus and to boost awareness of relevant political issues.

TCU Democrats

The 2008 Democratic National Convention wasn't TCU Democrats President Elizabeth Slagle's first convention, but it was the one that moved her to action.

The latest fashion trend in communities seems to be banning saggy pants.

The Fort Worth City Council, along with a handful of other city councils, is looking for ways to get young people to pull their pants up.

Because actually banning saggy pants could be considered a violation of people's first amendment rights, city councils have been unsuccessful in creating city ordinances that ban saggy pants, according to a Dallas Morning News article.

TCU alumnus Carl Kozlowski thought he and writing partner Tim Joyce had finally found their big break.

"We were on WGN-AM radio in Chicago on a show that is one of the biggest book-related talk shows in the country," Kozlowski said.

The book critic who hosted the show had worked with Kozlowski at the Chicago Tribune and decided to devote all two hours of his program to Kozlowski and Joyce's book, "Life: the Final Frontier," which offers humorous advice on life after college.

I saw a great little number on YouTube.com a few days ago by some influential celebrities attempting to use reverse psychology to get people to vote. The video was called "Don't Vote." It was effective.

I'm already a registered voter and although I believe my vote is merely a grain of sand, it's my piece of the beach. We can all agree if everyone thought cynically about his or her voice in the world, the system would collapse. So, thank you to all those positive people out there who acknowledge that although you don't really matter, it's important to let people know you exist.

The Christmas season seems to start earlier each year. Just the other weekend, I saw Christmas decorations for sale already at my local Home Depot.

Even singers are getting an early start, if Faith Hill's "Joy to the World", which was released Sept. 30, is any indication.

It's surprising because Hill's holiday output before now has been limited to the song "Where Are You Christmas" from the film version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and a duet with Josh Groban on his own holiday album.

Dining Services is ushering in changes to the main campus dining areas in response to student requests, but other demands have gone unheeded.

Students can expect to see the return of old favorites in the form of a make-you-own-wok station in Market Square and a rolled sushi station in 1873. The recently installed frozen yogurt machine in Market Square has proved popular, prompting lines of students looking to satisfy their sweet tooth. In addition, new sandwich options have been added to the menu and more salad choices are in the works.
