CORRECTIONS
In the Oct. 24 issue of the Skiff, the story entitled “Professor
in hot seat” misspelled the names of Carson Daly and Vaune
Raskopf.
In the Oct. 31 edition of the Skiff, Susan Douglas Roberts was
incorrectly identified on second reference. It should have said
Douglas Roberts. |

TREATS
Children shouldn’t
have all the fun
COMMENTARY
It’s
commendable that many of us college students add to the Halloween
spirit by hosting or participating in events for community children,
like Colby Halloween or Boo at the Zoo. But what about us? When
do we have our fun? It’s about time college students took
the streets back from those little monsters with candy-coated
hands, instead of sitting at home in their robes studying for
next week’s exams. |

Senior
trying to find truth
COMMENTARY
I
am at that point in my university education where rational thought
is a struggle, and sometimes all I want to do is sit around
my apartment and watch soccer on Fox Sports World. Some would
call me lazy, yet I am successfully navigating 21 hours of course
work and two part-time jobs. Thus, I think my ambivalence toward
school comes from a different source. |

TCU
cross country teams head to Florida
The
TCU men’s and women’s cross country teams return to

the University of South Florida. |

Conference
USA needs to take risks, capitalize on championship game
COMMENTARY
Conference
USA should take the offensive.
It is difficult for TCU fans to understand this concept. Before
the Frogs’ offensive explosion last Saturday against Houston,
their beloved Frogs were considered a defensive team that stops
the opponent from scoring as opposed to going all out to put
as many points on the scoreboard as possible. |

History
Once
a year we get decked out to roam the streets of our neighborhoods
in search of candy and mischief. But does anybody really know
why? |

What
to do this Halloween
For
college students, Halloween is no longer about cute costumes
and loads of candy. OK, for some it might still be about the
candy, but for most, Halloween is yet another reason to go out
and party. It is the one night of the year when you can step
out of your comfort zone and stretch the boundaries of normality,
since one little phrase can save you from the perils of social
accountability: “Hey, it was Halloween!” |
