“Maze” comes to TCU

Published Jan 12, 2011

The illusion show "Maze," which is sponsored by TCU Campus Crusade for Christ, will make a stop at TCU tonight to both entertain and enlighten students.

Days after the start of a new semester, students can come to the Brown-Lupton University Union Ballroom and enjoy the illusion show for free.

"Maze" promised a lot more than just the expected sleight of hand and card tricks.

One can't heal an open wound with a small bandage. Nor can you expect to cure homelessness in four downtown Dallas areas with a city ordinance.

A new city ordinance bans panhandling, or aggressive begging, in areas across downtown Dallas, making it virtually impossible for the homeless to ask for assistance of any kind. These areas include the business district, Deep Ellum, Uptown and Victory Park. Violators will be fined up to $500 for soliciting money or help.

"The Apprentice," a TV show hosted by Donald Trump, provides 16 contestants the opportunity to work for Trump himself. Through various challenges, the contestants are assessed by Trump to determine who will be the only one to not hear his famous words, "You're fired."

Word of Truth Gospel Choir and the Black Alumni Alliance will sponsor the events, which will be open to all students and alumni.

Garrett has chance to prove Cowboys still a national name

Published Jan 12, 2011

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett certainly gave his team a spark as interim head coach, winning five out of the last eight games of the 2010 season after a dismal 1-7 start under Wade Phillips.

When called upon as Dallas' back-up quarterback, Garrett provided similar results as a player. His career totals of 11 touchdowns and 2,042 passing yards aren't stunning, but Cowboys purists will never forget Garrett's second-half heroics against Green Bay in a 42-31 victory during the 1994 season.

Christian: Yeager’s dismissal ‘addition by subtraction’

The dismissal of junior guard Sammy Yeager on Tuesday seemed to send a strong message to the rest of the TCU men's basketball team. The Frogs routed Wyoming 78-60 Wednesday evening at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum in their first game without Yeager.

"It was a tough blow, but he's a good player, and I wish him the best wherever else he goes," junior guard Ronnie Moss, who scored a game-high 27 points, said. "I know we are going to move forward. Some things just don't work out. God didn't have it in his plan."
