DECISIONS

Lawmakers shouldn’t overlook the TEG

Tuition Equalization Grant.

Know what that is? Maybe not. Only about 20 percent of TCU students receive the TEG. But if Texas lawmakers have their way, even fewer students may be receiving it.

Professor Frye remembered as supportive teacher

Rational thought still popular on campus
COMMENTARY

TCU has shown that its campus is truly home to sound, rational thought. This was best exemplified two weeks ago when the university hosted a lecture from University of Texas at Austin journalism professor Robert Jensen. While some believe that an event attended by fewer people than a Friday morning lecture class is front-page material, certainly the majority of people at TCU regarded it as a ridiculous event.
Sickness is excusable
Being ill should be counted as an excused absence
COMMENTARY

Sickness happens. As my doctor likes to remind me, college is a germy place. High traffic areas can spread disease, but illness especially abounds in college residence halls, where countless students share the same bathroom and put their grimy hands on the same doorknobs, time after time.
Fight for equal pay not over
More needs to be done to make sure wage gap decreases
COMMENTARY

Protests these days are seemingly a dime a dozen; putting issues with Iraq aside for a moment, it’s worth remembering that there are other wars left to fight, wars far closer to home. Today the battle for equal pay for equal work comes to the front lines. Women’s organizations around the nation are asking members to protest gender discrimination in the workplace by wearing red as a symbol of the wage gap between men and women.
