Putting your best face forward may have a deeper meaning.

When it comes to getting hired, one would think the factors would be exclusively based on experience and education. There is a third factor that may play more into the mix: appearance.

According to a Feb. 21 Yahoo! Finance article, there are several ways people's appearance affects their paychecks. So maybe students should pay more attention to their appearance to be the most marketable hire.

On April 28, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will announce the selections of the 2011 NFL Draft.

When the Dallas Cowboys come up to the draft board with the ninth overall selection, Goodell will announce that Dallas has selected...Cam Newton?

The Cowboys have at least entertained the idea. Dallas made waves over the NFL Combine by interviewing the Heisman winner out of Auburn. While Newton may have been only one out of 60 players Dallas interviewed, the fact that the Cowboys explored an option for a quarterback means that something may be lurking in the future.

The bright lights came on Sunday night as film fans came out in full force for The Lone Star Film Society's third annual Oscar Watch Party.

Decked out in red carpet attire, from look-a-like brand name designer suits to Oscar worthy dresses, film fans gathered at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth in what Alec Jhangiani, art director for the LSFS, said he expected to be the most largely populated event in one night for the LSFS.

"Last year we had about 600 and this year I wouldn't be surprised if we had almost a thousand people the way it's increased," Jhangiani said.

Blame No. 8 TCU's three-game losing streak on a College World Series hangover; blame the 2.67 runs per game in those three losses to the newly instituted bats for college baseball 8212; the ones with less ping and more plop 8212; or simply discount the losses as Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington might: "That's the way baseball go."

CWS hangover? The Frogs sit at 4-4 and have averaged four runs per game thus far and less than three runs per game during their current losing streak. Through eight games in 2010, the Frogs sat pretty at 7-1, averaging 9.5 runs per game.

With just two months remaining in the semester, many students started their job search at a career fair offered on campus.

Kara Lutley, a senior marketing and business information systems major, was one of the many hopeful students at the event.

"This is my fifth time coming to the career fair," Lutley said. "I've been coming every year since I was a second-semester sophomore looking for internships. Now I'm graduating in May...I thought I might as well come back and look for an actual job."

Wednesday marked the 175th anniversary of the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence 8212; a date marked as Texas Independence Day.

There may be a stereotype or two about Texan pride. The "Don't Mess With Texas" state-sponsored commercials do no favors.

TCU students who attended elementary school in the Lone Star State may remember not only reciting the United States Pledge of Allegiance, but also reciting the Texas Pledge of Allegiance as well as singing the Texas state song, "Texas, Our Texas":

"The damn show destroyed my family." You would think he's referring to "Jersey Shore" or "Parental Control" or any other reality show that is so popular on television these days, but Billy Ray Cyrus is...

Senior guard Greg Hill tied a career high with 23 points to help TCU build a seven-point halftime lead, but Air Force sank the Frogs Wednesday during a 70-65 setback at the Falcons' Clune Arena. The Frogs,...

Highly ranked athletic programs have become the norm rather than the exception for TCU, and the club paintball team is no different.

The TCU Paintball team, a university club sport, is currently ranked No. 15 out of 86 teams in the National Collegiate Paintball Association rankings.

Junior team member Amir Tafarroji said good competition was hard to find around Fort Worth. The team will drive more than 100 miles to practice at Weber's Paintball near Temple, he said.

"We think Weber's is one of the best fields in the state," Tafarroji said.
