It's no secret. TCU has a parking problem.You hear it all the time. A student spent an hour or so trying to find a parking place. He or she parked illegally simply because there was no place else to park, and he or she had to get to class.

I realize parking is an age-old issue that has been addressed and debated many times, but that doesn't make it any less true. Tiring or not, this issue needs to be worked out because it's obviously not going away.

Why else would you keep hearing complaints that are so commonplace you could mumble them in your sleep?

Thousands of women marched in streets throughout the early 20th century and fought for the equality of women. Those women argued for equality so women could be free of those silly feminine conventions that identified them as second-class citizens - high heels, lipstick, giggles and lace.I'm afraid the civil rights ladies of the Roaring '20s succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Surely they didn't fight for our liberation so we could become a generation of girls with no class.

Upjohn is a member of the white team, where members don't travel unless they qualify, but was able to travel with the purple team this weekend because she has been shooting well, said Karen Monez, head coach of the rifle team.

Tuition to attend TCU: $22,980. Estimated annual textbook cost: $810. Room and board: $4,320. Having to pay $20 for a new ID card: What a sham.With more than $28,110 in estimated annual costs, it seems TCU administrators are still trying to squeeze more blood from the stone.

The ID center recently raised the cost for purchasing a replacement ID from $10 to $20.

Shouldn't there be something that doesn't increasingly cost more at TCU?
