The TCU men's golf team finished its fall season with a 12th-place finish at the Carpet Capital Collegiate in Rocky Face, Ga., this weekend, a tournament that the head coach said was one of the most difficult of the season.The tournament featured 18 teams, some of which are the best in the nation, said head coach Bill Montigel.

"But I would have liked to finish higher," he said. "We could have done better."

The greens were perfect, but the team had a terrible first round and Sunday was breezy, Montigel said.

This letter is in response to Mr. Guidry's commentary about the student body fee published in the Nov. 2 Skiff. It is not correct that the library was "more than willing to offer more money to cover costs so that the SGA would not have to spend so much." The pods would not have happened last year without SGA funding. The library enthusiastically supported this project since the need for group computing was so great here in the building. There was no funding in last year's budget for this project. SGA made it happen when it did.

The $94 million construction plan to build the University Union and renovate the Brown-Lupton Student Center was unveiled to community members Monday by TCU officials.Construction on the campus commons area, which will include four new residence halls, the University Union, renovation of the Student Center and a grass area between the Student Center and the Union, was approved by members of the Board of Trustees on Friday.

Students who have had thoughts about suicide should be aware that they are not alone and help is at hand if they choose to seek it out, said a campus counselor.Suicide is the third leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds and the second leading cause of death among college-age students, according to the National Mental Health Association.

"One in 17 people have had serious thoughts of suicide in the past year," said Monica Kintigh, a licensed professional counselor in Mental Health Services at TCU.

Students will voice their opinions today by voting for the next student body officers.Students can learn more about the candidates at www.sga.tcu.edu and www.tcudailyskiff.com. To vote, students can go to my.tcu.edu.

Student Government Association President David Watson said when students vote, they should keep in mind the candidates' platforms and look at leadership experience.

"(Students) should vote who they think is the best instead of who's their friend and who they know," Watson said.

On Sprinkle's comments, my personal favorite was as follows: "This amendment will have an impact on the TCU community and affect Recruitment and retention, Camp said." How do you figure? So he believes that a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman affects TCU's Recruitment and retention? Now that's a stretch if I've ever heard one. And this person is teaching TCU students? I'm am truly blown away.Amy Shackelford Curry, class of 2000
