Published Mar 13, 2011

The No. 7 TCU baseball team exited the field of Lupton Stadium with bowed heads and slumped shoulders after losing to unranked Houston Baptist University, 7-4, on Saturday.

Junior short stop Taylor Featherston, who went 2-for-3 at the plate, said the game could have ended differently but the team didn't execute plays that could have changed the game.

"It's never good to lose, but they just played a better baseball game then we did," Featherston said. "They did the things they had to when it counted."

Every student deserves a stable living arrangement

Tyler Clementi killed himself by jumping off the 213-foot tall George Washington Bridge. Clementi's heterosexual roommate at Rutgers University had been secretly broadcasting Clementi's homosexual encounters in their dorm room.

On Sept. 21, Clementi's roommate Dharun Ravi posted, "Anyone with iChat, I dare you to video chat me between the hours of 9:30 and 12. Yes it's happening again," according to an abcnews.com article. In this instance, gender-neutral housing may have spared Tyler Clementi's life.

Froggie still excludes male riders

Published Mar 10, 2011

Most everyone at TCU remembers learning about Froggie Five-0 while touring campus. Moms nodded in approval as a guide explained how the service would keep their daughters safe when walking across campus at night. The boys grumbled in the back as they were told that the service is only available to female students but that they are welcome to apply to be drivers.

Somewhere along the lines, that translated into: "Only girls can use Froggie, and only boys can be drivers."

To set the record straight, anyone can drive for Froggie, but only female students can ride.

‘The King?s Speech’ helps public understand disability

Published Mar 10, 2011

In a few minor ways, I psychologically mirror King George VI from the Oscar-winning movie based on his trials and tribulations involving stuttering, "The King's Speech." The movie is primarily about King George VI's stuttering problems and how they affected him throughout his regal life. The crux of the movie is that it relates to the general public the psychological problems that come with stuttering and how strongly they can affect the sufferer 8212; and perhaps that the stutterer through individual perseverance can overcome his or her stuttering.
