By Kristen Weaver [email protected]

The man who killed TCU student Steward Trese in February of 2014 has been sentenced to 35 years in prison. David Hidalgo, 23, pleaded guilty to murder after stabbing Trese, a 23-year-old TCU senior, on February 4, 2014. Trese was found dead last year in the GrandMarc apartments with a wound to the neck caused by a knife, according to the search warrant affidavit from the case. The search warrant said that Hidalgo was turned in by his mother. A bloody knife and clothing were later found in Hidalgo’s home. Hidalgo originally tried to blame the murder on a mental illness and self-defense, but didn’t include those statements during his appearance in court, according to Bill Vassar, a prosecutor for the Tarrant County district attorney’s office.

By Danielle Moss [email protected]

TCU plans to make some changes to its curriculum requirements in an effort to better accommodate the new Medical College Admission Test. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the new MCAT was officially released in April due to the dramatic increase of knowledge in medicine and science. The MCAT is a test that pre-med students take before they apply to medical school. Medical schools use the test as one of the factors to decide which applicants they accept. Revisions to the MCAT were made to ensure that future doctors will be prepared for real life situations in the medical field. “Being a good doctor is about more than scientific knowledge,” Darrell G. Kirch, COURTESY OF TCU360 M.D. and AAMC president and CEO, said in a news release. “The new exam will better PRE-MED PRACTICES Senior Alexander Cranford works on homework in the pre-health office. prepare students to build strong knowledge of the socio-cultural and behavioral determinants of health.” “Adding sociology, psychology, and biostatistics to the pre-med required courses TCU is making changes to ensure that students will be prepared for the new will only help students preparing to take the MCAT,” said Haley Egan, a junior neuro- version of the test. science major. “The pre-health department is only doing what it can to help students The university is now requiring that pre-med students take sociology and be successful.” psychology before taking the MCAT, said Dr. Matt Chumchal, associate professor and Pre-med students who have recently taken the new MCAT agree that the changes director of the pre-health professions institute. to the curriculum will help students be better prepared for the test.
