By Jonathan Smith, Managing Editor I miss curfew. I'll get that out of the way right now and reserve the right to claim temporary insanity if ever questioned about this in the future. But it's true, and I'm sticking with it. Curfew and I had one of those love-hate relationships freshman year. On the one hand, curfew never really bothered me ... [Read More…]
Letter from the Editor: Homecoming steals fall break for students
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief Students' health seems to have taken a back seat this year to, among other things, Homecoming.

TVs will disturb peace
By Kyle Peveto, Page Editor Column Schmolumn Last semester, while I heard each Students' Association presidential candidate proclaim a platform, almost everyone mentioned to us the goal of placing televisions around campus that would be plugged into SATV and a national news service that would supply us with up-to-the-minute news and weather.

Weck's World Outsiders like me might laugh at Texans because of their big-haired governor or their senators who take extended vacations in Albuquerque, but what if you hailed from California?

Letter from the Editor: Horrors and tortures of Texas redistricting
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief Dear Mom and Dad, I didn't spend this summer at camp, so I couldn't send any letters about wanting to come home.

You may think chasing ... [Read More…]
Column Like I See ‘Em: State fairs-a true American tradition
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor The distinct aromas of funnel cakes, turkey legs and popcorn waft into your nostrils. You hear the bleating of sheep, laughter of children and the ringing of cheerful calliope music. A barrage of the exclamation "Step right up!" greets you at every turn. You are at the state fair in 1849...or 2003. The truth is, ... [Read More…]
Prop. 12 not the solution
By Kyle Peveto, Page Editor Column Schmolumn Proposition 12, which will limit the amount of money that can be paid for non-economic damages in a malpractice trial, may not lower doctors' insurance premiums and we should not amend the Texas Constitution for it. Non-economic damages, which include pain and suffering, mental anguish and other less ... [Read More…]
Letter from the Editor: Parties switch sides
By Paul A. Anthony, Editor in Chief Political terms are necessarily contradictory. Today's liberals and Democrats used to be conservatives, advocating states' rights and protecting slavery.
