Finally
Put students courtside
COMMENTARY
When
TCU's new basketball season opens, fans may see
something unexpected on the floor: students.
If new menÕs basketball coach Neil Dougherty has
his way, students will now occupy the floor seats
that normally went to high-dollar donors. And theyÕll
sit there for free. |

TodayÕs
shows lacking key to greatness: theme songs
More television shows are foregoing
theme songs and those that exist lack creativity. A rebirth
of great theme songs is needed.
COMMENTARY
I
donÕt know about you, but I donÕt spend much time watching
sitcoms anymore. However, there are a few that I still
enjoy, one of which is ÒEverybody Loves Raymond.Ó While
I find the show quite amusing, ÒEverybody Loves RaymondÓ
is the embodiment of a terrible injustice that has swept
across television over the past few years. I do not speak
of the fact that the man of the house is a bumbling idiot
that can never do anything right, although that is a problem
with television today and is prevalent in this show. No,
I am talking about the showÕs complete lack of a quality
theme song. |

FalwellÕs
remarks hurt peace efforts
The Rev. Jerry FalwellÕs offensive speech
on Muslims decreased understanding of the group while
promoting hatred and distrust.
COMMENTARY
The
Rev. Jerry Falwell once again proved his tactlessness
earlier this month by declaring the Muslim Prophet Mohammed
a ÒterroristÓ on national television. While such careless
speech was met with the normal condemnation Ñ from the
Middle East Ñ and a subsequent (halfhearted) apology,
deadly harm has already been done. |

Procrastination
all too often a way of life for most university students
As they advance in their academic careers,
students tend to choose procrastination as a way of life.
COMMENTARY
Procrastination.
That wonderful word so many of us live by. It makes us
put off our work until the last possible moment. Often
it leads many people to go crazy in the minutes just before
a test as they realize they havenÕt studied enough. In
fact, itÕs also the reason IÕm writing this article at
7 a.m. the morning itÕs due. |
