As a faculty member, I could not disagree more with Ross Johnson (Oct. 3, "Think before posing question in class, spare other students").Students have not only the right, but the personal responsibility...

Some who are lucky enough to have found a steady significant other often find themselves having small altercations with their loved one.While this behavior is considered normal among couples, new research shows certain means of resolving fights can have physical effects on a person's health in the long run.

Many couples remain oblivious to these effects, thus decreasing their love's lifespan.

Couples need to regroup and learn how to work together better to ensure they can spend the rest of their lives with each other.

The halfway point of the football season has arrived for TCU, and it heads into the second half of the season with a few problems it hopes to take care of, head coach Gary Patterson said.After losing at Wyoming on Saturday, the Horned Frogs returned to an even record with all three losses coming on the road.

Patterson said two of the main reasons TCU has struggled out of the gate have been injuries and tough play from the opposition.

The injury of sophomore running back Joseph Turner limits the Frog's ability to pound the ball in the red zone, Patterson said.

One team is coming off a heartbreaking loss, while the other is on a high following a win against the No. 2 team in the nation. The Frogs will look to bounce back as the Cardinal hopes to avoid a letdown. Here are the probable starters for Saturday's game between TCU and Stanford.

QUARTERBACK

TCU: Andy Dalton, redshirt freshman

Stanford: T.C. Ostrander, senior

Advantage: Stanford

TCU beat Southern Methodist University and Baylor once again, but this time the victories may have some mixed consequences.TCU employs significantly more adjunct instructors than both SMU and Baylor.

We've all been disappointed at different times of our lives, and I am no exception.Whether it was the passing of two of my grandparents, the Yankees' collapse in the 2004 American League Championship Series...

The Student Government Association passed a resolution Tuesday to allow its members to spend more money when campaigning for officer positions.Candidates are now allowed to spend up to $500 on their campaigns. Last year, the limit was $200.

The money candidates put toward campaigning comes directly from the candidates - or candidates' parents' - pockets, not SGA funds.

Although the raised limit seemingly allows for more freedom for advertising in SGA campaigns, it also shuts out those potential candidates with less money.

On the left, a couple lies cuddling with worried looks on their faces, and each of them no more than one foot long.This is a scene viewers will experience at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, which is currently hosting the works of renowned contemporary sculptor Ron Mueck.

According to the Modern's Web site, Mueck, who began his career making puppets for Jim Henson's "The Muppet Show," has lent 13 of his sculptures to the museum for this special exhibit that opened June 24.
