Listen
In The
House of Student Representatives administered an online survey this
year to find out what issues are of concern to students. |

Survey
makes student apathy obvious Journalists
are not mathematicians. We do not claim to be number-crunchers.
Instead, we turn to experts for help with numerical computations.
However, some aspects of the House of Student Representatives Constituency
Day survey do not need mathematical interpretation. Some of the
findings are cut and dry. Unfortunately, they demonstrate an epidemic
at TCU — student apathy. |
Grateful
Gore is gone Almost a year
ago, our nation decided between Texas Gov. George W. Bush, viewed
as a socially privileged, unintelligent candidate with a morally
questionable past, and Vice President Al Gore, seen as booksmart,
but distant and untrustworthy. A few hundred votes in Florida and
a court battle later, Dubya was sworn in, leaving many questioning
whether he could be an effective president. |

Gulf
War killed free press I was just 11
years old when the Persian Gulf War began. I remember sitting on
the couch with my parents watching the video game-like images of
offensive U.S. military coverage flash bright in our dark living
room. It wasn’t until 10 years later that I would learn how
the First Amendment was a “smart bomb” target. |
Letter
to the editor Two
commentaries in the Oct. 26 Skiff questioning the usefulness of
the current professor evaluation system caught my attention. Some
students criticized them, and some supported the evaluations. |
