Delegation from Hungarian school visits campus
By David Dunai
Staff Reporter
Establishing
strategic ties with one of the old, prestigious universities of
Europe will make TCU stronger, said Larry Adams, associate provost
for academic affairs, Tuesday after he met with a delegation from
Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE).
The delegation, from Hungary’s largest university founded in
1635, visited campus this week to discuss the possibilities of a
future relationship between the two institutions, said István
Klinghammer, rector of ELTE.
The meetings focused on three major areas of cooperation such as
post-graduate education, research projects and summer courses offered
in Budapest, Hungary, Klinghammer said.

We
Were Soldiers
Movie tells little-known part of Vietnam War
Like just about
every war movie ever made, “We Were Soldiers” has something
to say about honor, duty, valor, sacrifice and courage under fire.
It doesn’t add much to our body of knowledge about the price
paid by the families of those who serve, or of the capacity of military
brass to make idiotic, ill-informed decisions which cost young men
their lives.

Searching
for Chris Klein
By Ryan Eloe
Skiff Staff
“Cindy
Guagenti’s office can I help you?” I hear that name for
the third time this week.
Three weeks ago I didn’t even know there was a person named
Cindy Guagenti. That was before I started my quest. It wasn’t
a quest for the Holy Grail. Instead, it was the quest to find a
person. The person I was trying to find should be easier than searching
for Bobby Fisher, but at points, it seemed pretty difficult.

“40
Days” relies on crude humor
The
joke is yanked, inflated, stretched and strung out over the film’s
93 minutes. Gags involving condoms, erections, Viagra and fruit
that looks like vaginas are stuffed into those minutes. “40
Days and 40 Nights” is flip and exhaustingly hip and irreverent
to the point of being sacrilegious.
