Artist Woodrow Blagg reveals his large-scale drawing, The Rescue, celebrating the heroic Nov. 19, 2021 Fort Worth ReportIn a reception at the Brown-Lupton University Union, renowned Western artist Woodrow Blagg unveiled his massive mixed-graphite drawing, The Rescue. It masterfully captures a team of TCU students on the Amakhala Game Reserve assisting in rhino conservation procedures. To accurately capture the experience in his piece, Blagg visited South Africa withMike Slattery, director of TCUs Institute for Environmental Studies, and a group of students. He was transfixed. During his 10-day stay at Amakhala, he came out with the students on all procedures, but he also spent some alone time with our rangers among the rhino crashes. On the actual procedure, he simply stayed in-the- moment, and I think that emotion and connection come across in the drawing, Slattery says.

Pulling punchlines: Comedy can be offensive. But should it be reined in? Nov. 29, 2021 Christian Science Monitor Comic Dave Chappelle recently contended that some people appear to get more upset about transgender issues than they do about racism. He draws a kind of proverbial line in the sand against Black people and Black communities and queer communities. That line in the sand has massive erasure for Black queer folks, said Brandon Manning, an assistant professor of Black literature and culture. Even his ability to bring in Daphne Dorman towards the end, in many ways thats the equivalent of saying, I have a Black friend, so I cant be racist.
Will Beto ORourkes run for Texas governor help Tarrant County candidates on the ballot? Nov. 19, 2021 Fort Worth Star-TelegramThe key is the atmosphere next November, and its hard to project what that would be, said Political Science Professor Jim Riddlesperger. But certainly the political climate right now doesnt appear to be favorable for Democrats nationally or within the state of Texas. And, of course, the history of midterm elections is that the presidents party does not do well.

Bill Containing Draft Mandate For Women Advances In Senate, Likely To Pass Despite Conservative Opposition Nov. 18, 2021 The Daily Wire The Senate advanced the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), part of which would mandate the military draft for women, moving the legislation to the floor debate stage, and amendments to remove the provision on drafting women for the military might still be made.Attaching it to NDAA basically ensures that it will [pass], barring a massive herculean effort to get it unattached somehow, saidKara Vuic, the LCpl. Benjamin W. Schmidt Professor of War, Conflict and Society in 20th-Century America. I think its going to pass.
Mild brain injury leads to early cognitive decline, study in veterans finds Nov. 17, 2021 United Press International Military veterans who suffer a mild traumatic brain injury during combat experience early cognitive decline within seven years of the incident, a study published Wednesday by PLOS One found.

Is Toxic Masculinity Real? Nov. 16, 2021 FOX Soul Has the idea of masculinity gone too far in the Black community? Why should Black men care?Brandon Manning, assistant professor of English, said, I think one of the most important parts to talk about when we talk about masculinity is that we havent really thought about masculinity in and of itself because it is generally considered the norm. The reason why Black communities need to care about toxic masculinity is the reason why a group of Black women in the late 1970s said that, in order for us to fully liberate, they felt like its Black women that have to look out for themselves. Part of whats wrapped up into that is that Black men need to also self-reflect about their role in some of that.

Sonny Dykes introduced at TCU Horned Frogs' new coach Nov. 30, 2021 ESPN Sonny Dykes got an up-close look at TCU during one season working as an offensive analyst for the head coach he would replace four years later. The Texas native and son of a former Southwest Conference coach knew a lot about the school long before then. "Growing up in Texas, I always knew what this place could be," Dykes said as he was introduced as the Horned Frogs new coach. "It was the best hire for us, the best fit," athletic director Jeremiah Donati said. "Best short-term and long-term fit for TCU, Sonny Dykes was that guy. When you talk about his plan to recruit DFW, and the fact he knows this place, he knows what it's going to take to win here."
From inevitable to official: When TCU got its chance to land Sonny Dykes, they made sure not to miss Nov. 30, 2021 Dallas Morning NewsTruth be told, TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati said he didnt view Sonny Dykes as the next possible head coach of the Horned Frogs until recently. Having a coach didnt stop Donati from following what was occurring 40 miles east at SMU, though. When you start looking at the numbers, and you start looking at the talent in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex that wasnt coming to TCU, I just marveled at what SMU has been able to do the last couple of years, Donati said.
