Leftover
Extra meal plan money wasted
Does
any one else remember the days not so long ago (last year)
when the minimum meal plan was $400?
This year, TCU raised the minimum to $800 for freshman living
on campus, $600 for other students living in dorms, but kept
the $400 for students living in on-campus apartments.

Opinions from around the country
This editorial comes from The Daily
Athenaeum at West Virginia University.
The
campaign against tobacco in America in the 1990s and today
has reached an all-time low. Specifically, one television
campaign that takes responsibility away from the smoker and
places it on one side (the tobacco companies) doesn’t
represent the whole truth. This group, the most obvious group
to blame for frivolous anti-smoking advertisements, is known
as “The Truth”.

Give
me Mary-Kate and Ashley or give me death
By John Weyand
Skiff Staff
My
God, the Olsen twins are hot.
What’s more, those girls are worth over $70 million —
but I’d defile them for free.
Right? Anyone?
If you’re not familiar with the Olsen twins, you should be
ashamed of yourself. I’m talking about the adorable (but so
naughty!) actresses who played baby Michelle on the hit ABC sitcom
“Full House”. D.J. Tanner had a hips surplus, and young
Stephanie turned out modest in bosom.

Giving
back to TCU starts with appreciating a quality education
By Emily Ward
Skiff Staff
“Give
back to TCU.”
It’s the public relations phrase that has been thrown at me
more than anything I know in these past four years.
I used to say it was TCU that should give back to me with all the
parking tickets, tuition increases, over-priced textbooks and shamefully
high meal plan costs shoved down my throat without prior consent.

Women
have the right to pose for Playboy
Commentary by Kellen Zimmer
The
football powerhouse known as the Big 12 Conference soon will be
seen in a much softer, perhaps more revealing, light. In its 25th
Anniversary Edition pictorial featuring college age women, Playboy
magazine will feature “Women of the Big 12.” This is exciting
for the Big 12 Conference and its women who are ready to bear all.
