Security seems to top the list of concerns anywhere from businesses to schools to airports.TCU is no exception to this rule especially with the recent harassing phone calls made to KTCU disc jockies Tuesday night.

Student dormitories on TCU's campus will soon undergo a major makeover.Sherley Hall will be completely gutted to make way for new entities and features, said Harold Leeman, associate director of the TCU Physical Plant.

Director Wes Anderson, with the help of three remarkably talented actors, managed to craft a film that is not only inspiring and funny, but is also one of the most original films of the year.

The prologue will accompany the movie when it is released in Fort Worth theaters this Friday.

Located in the woodlands of Waxahachie, Screams Halloween Theme Park resembles an abandoned New England Colonial village straight from the Salem witch trials of 1692.Trees tower over the pathways, and shrieks of the night lead customers to vendors, including tarot card readers, henna tattoo artists and gift shops. The park is filled with ghostly noises and new fear lurks behind every corner.
