Published Feb 26, 2008

It's a beautiful day for U2 fans everywhere as their long-awaited 3D concert movie opened in theaters nationwide this past weekend, and what a great movie it was.

At the piano parallel to his own, his student's fingers glide across the keys as he plays Franz Liszt's "Spanish Rhapsody."


At a shift in pace, noticeable only to a studied pianist, Ungar's eyes snap open, and suddenly, he is playing alongside his student - only slower.


"It has to make itself push!" Ungar instructs in his soft Hungarian accent over the music of the two pianos nearly in sync.

Letter to the editor: Nixing dorm kitchens bad idea

Published Feb 26, 2008

The decision to eliminate dorm-room kitchens is wrong for many reasons.


It tells students living in the dorms that they're something other than the adults they are, and it will lead to a culture of irresponsibility among first- and second-year students living on campus.


Secondly, this decision takes away from students all their personal responsibility over their own nutrition and places that responsibility instead in the hands of TCU.
