Teachers with guns: Pro

Published Jan 25, 2011

The United States is a nation living in denial, completely oblivious and willfully ignoring the reality of violence.

Fortunately, not all Americans choose to live in this state of denial. David McElwee and Bill Sandlin, two gun rights advocates and members of the National Rifle Association, took their case in favor of concealed handguns on high school campuses before the Arlington ISD school board this past week. The board, however, showed no interest to McElwee and Sandlin's proposal on Friday.

Clickers force students to be more accountable

Published Jan 25, 2011

When a student begins the adventure of college, he or she will hear many different pieces of advice: Go to class. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Study.

Some universities are making it practically impossible to avoid those pieces of advice.

Universities across the nation are using a clicker system to record students' timeliness, administer quizzes and alert professors virtually when students have a question, all while registering the information on a computer for easy recall if a dispute were to occur.

Sabine Rasch increases TCU swim team confidence

Published Jan 25, 2011

Last December, sophomore swimmer Sabine Rasch became the first woman in TCU history to swim the 50-freestyle in under 23 seconds. Rasch set a university record with a 22.96 at the U.S. Short Course National Championships held in Columbus, Ohio.

Rasch's performance topped the previous school record of 23.17 held by Erica Tate since 2007. However, this was not the first time Rasch put her name at the top of the university's all-time performance list. On Nov. 6, she earned herself a time of 50.75 in the 100-freestyle against San Diego State 8212; a university record.

Teachers with guns: Con

Published Jan 25, 2011

In Arlington, gun rights advocates sought to persuade the school board to give licensed teachers and administrators the ability to carry concealed firearms in school but to no avail. The reasons behind allowing this potential privilege are concerns over the safety of the students against potential threats and also to deter these types of threats from materializing.

The school board dismissed the issue, but there is still the matter of whether school districts are doing the right thing by not allowing teachers and staff to arm themselves against potential threats.

Students should watch the State of the Union address

Published Jan 25, 2011

It may seem counterproductive to ask college students to watch President Barack Obama's State of the Union address tonight considering the state of the job market.

But whether students are into politics or not, watching the address is one of the easiest ways to stay up to date with our most pressing issues.

In a representative democracy, our personal contribution is our vote. By taking the time to access information to which we have a right, we can better dictate where our vote would be best used.

Cowboys Super Bowl party

Published Jan 24, 2011

It's only fitting the Dallas Cowboys have their hands all over the Steelers-Packers Super Bowl XLV. There seems to be one friend in every group that ends up getting the party forced upon him or her at their house. The NFL's friend would be Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, but he'll be charging a lot more than $5 for access to the keg in the backyard and he was never exactly forced into throwing his Super Bowl party.
