It may not be the battle for the Iron Skillet, but today's tennis match against SMU still has all the makings of a cross-town rivalry.Head coach Dave Borelli said beating a team so close to home is always a bonus.

"We're not in the same conference, but it's nice to beat a team in your own hometown, or near it," Borelli said. "It's a good rivalry ... It's bragging rights for the Metroplex."

Senior Helena Besovic said some of the Horned Frogs are already familiar with SMU's athletes.

The Horned Frogs were unable to sustain an early lead - or any offense - Tuesday night as TCU fell to Texas State 5-1.TCU (2-2) benefitted from shaky starting pitching and jumped out to an early 1-0 lead but fell victim to an opportunistic Texas State (2-5) offense as the game progressed. The Frogs also had no answer for the Bobcats' bullpen, and Texas State pitchers retired the last 19 TCU batters.

Head coach Jim Schlossnagle said the team was simply outplayed.

"I thought their pitchers pitched better than ours," Schlossnagle said. "We hit balls right to them."

Departments at TCU are stuck between a rock and a hard place.Recently, the Schieffer School of Journalism wanted to raise requirements for its minors to have a 2.5 GPA because the 30 percent increase in journalism students has caused enrollment to exceed the number of classes and teachers available. Since the school was denied permission, it has resorted to suspending all minors.

And "resort" is the correct word usage here - the school would lose its accreditation if it increased class sizes of certain courses.

Undercover police surveillance may have paid off Monday night after a man in possession of burglary tools was chased from the Coliseum parking lot and arrested, TCU Police said.David Lee Sherman, 20, was arrested on suspicion of evading arrest and/or detention and possession of a controlled substance, said TCU Police Chief Steven McGee.

TCU Detective Vicki Lawson, who was working undercover Monday night, said she observed a white Ford Explorer without a TCU parking permit enter the Coliseum lot around 8:20 p.m.

Student Government Association members are developing a revised plan to implement a campuswide safe-rides program after university officials rejected its initial idea because of liability reasons, said an SGA representative.SGA Treasurer Brian Andrew said that Student Development Services and Campus Life said a safe-rides program, which would provide transportation to students in an effort to curb drunken driving, is simply not feasible at TCU because students cannot be responsible for driving other students.
