Opinion: Looking beyond the stereotypes, prejudice to see the people
Imagine this: You go to a car sales lot and a woman walks up to you and begins to talk to you about the mechanics of the car you’re considering and why it works best.
She’s probably pulling your leg, right? Only men know this stuff. How about when you see a Hispanic family shopping around a local Walmart with their children? Some might go as far as to think they probably are just depending on welfare and “stealing” jobs.
OPINION: Global Scholars: We’ve returned with one suggestion: GO
We could sit and list all the places we visited. You could read through them, say, “Oh, how nice,” and forget about it tomorrow. Or you could do what we did: apply immediately when the next trip is announced, save money like your life depends on it and drown yourself in research. It’s a lot of work, but believe us when we say it’s worth it and you’ll have the time of your life.

One thing that is clear is that professional sports today have a certain lack of toughness when comparing the greats of today with the legends of yesterday.
EDITORIAL: P.E. strikes out; students at disadvantage
The next group of Amarillo College freshmen will be at a slight disadvantage to those of us already here. Beginning this fall, students entering AC will follow a new core curriculum – one that doesn’t include any required physical activity or wellness education.
OPINION: ‘Help others to help yourself’
I have found that the most gratifying thing I can do in life is to be a benefit to others. Few of us are immune to the frustrations and challenges of daily life—family problems, conflicts at work, illness, stress over money. When we get depressed or anxious, experts may recommend medication and therapy. But a newly emerging school of thought suggests that a simple, age-old principle may be part of both the prevention and the cure: Help others to help yourself.
