War must continue to draw attention
When Afghans
died from American bombing, it was a news story.
When the first American died, it was front page news.
Now, with American deaths accumulating, it’s time to
take notice. This war is real.
While the media may cover American deaths as large news events,
it’s difficult to find any part of the war on terrorism
that piques our nation’s interest.

Opinions
from around the country
One of
the top news stories on CNN
Thursday read, “Poll: Muslims Call U.S. Ruthless, Arrogant.”
The story detailed how a Gallup poll of residents in numerous
Muslim countries showed that a majority of them found the
United States to be vengeful, shortsighted and materialistic.
The percentage of the respondents that found America’s
attacks on the Taliban to be unjustifiable was greater than
the percentage that found the Sept. 11 attacks to be unjustifiable.

Secret Service agents were involved in a brawl Saturday in California,
in which an agent actually bit off the tip of a man’s ear.
He should have learned, if not from his own judgment then from Vincent
Van Gogh and Mike Tyson, that ears should be left alone.

By Chelsea Hudson
Skiff Staff
Never forget
where you come from.
Think back to the days of being a “prospective student.”
Remember your first impression of Texas Christian University. Then
ask yourself, “How did I get here?”
Very often it boils down to just one person.
