As most of us know, the Student Government Association elections were this past Tuesday, Nov. 8. But what not all of us know is who was actually running. True, they do post signs up and down the sidewalks on the way to class, but who are they really?As a member of a sorority, I was exposed to some of the candidates and what their agendas would consist of if elected. However, only one running for treasurer, one for vice president, and four of the five candidates for president came by.

The TCU volleyball team was defeated in its last two home matches of the season against San Diego State and Nevada-Las Vegas on Friday and Saturday at the University Recreation Center.Head coach Prentice Lewis said the team had four players suspended Friday for breaking team rules but refused to comment on the reason for the suspension.

Lewis said the team used younger players and the freshmen played hard.

Sophomore LeMeita Smith and freshman Nirelle Hampton recorded many kills early against San Diego State.

Four volleyball players were suspended from the team matches last week, but neither the head coach nor the media relations spokesperson would say Monday whom the players are or what they are suspended for. The penalized players did not play in Friday's home game against San Diego State, said TCU volleyball head coach Prentice Lewis.

Neither Timothy Love, athletics media relations graduate assistant, nor media relations director Mark Cohen answered questions on the circumstances or length of the suspensions.

While reading the Nov. 10 Skiff View, I was outraged to read the incoherent opinion about SGA's lack of communication to the student body. The Skiff assigned two reporters to SGA, and most of their SGA stories are weeded out. This statement is true because the Skiff published six SGA articles this semester compared to 21 last spring. Then it makes perfect sense why a farfetched article is the flatulence of a lack of SGA coverage.The editorial board mistakenly believes a low voter turnout is the result of SGA's lack of communication to the student body.

Senior Kip Kangogo will compete in the Cross Country National Championships after qualifying Saturday by finishing fourth in the NCAA Cross Country South Central Regional Championships in Waco. Kangogo's time of 30.34.60 led the men's team to a seventh-place finish out of 23 teams.

The top two teams, Arkansas and Texas, qualified for nationals.

"I am happy to set an example for the team, which is very young, and be able to show them that they can go to nationals," Kangogo said.

Students and faculty wore black ribbons Friday in mourning of his death.

Erica Savage has had professors she could not stand.Savage, a sophomore Spanish major, said she has used TCU's Student Perception of Teaching forms a few times to complain about professors.

She said the forms are important because they give students a chance to voice their opinions. And in one situation, she said, her complaints were heard.

Savage said she took second- and third-level Spanish classes from the same professor. She said the professor changed the third-level class in the specific areas targeted by students in the previous class's evaluations.
