To the Editor (and student body): I happened to be the sports editor of the Skiff for three years in the late "70s and early "80s, when F.A. Dry coached and the Frogs had a lot of heart but few stars. It was, perhaps, TCU's football nadir.

I was one of the few who attended nearly all of their games during that period. Those Frogs teams fought hard, but were outmanned, aside from a pretty good quarterback (Steve Stamp), two good receivers (Stanley Washington and Phillip Epps) and a great linebacker (Darrell Patterson).

Senior Madee Schottleutner voted early, but said she thought she was one of few student voters making the effort.

Schottleutner said she thought students do not vote because of the inconvenience of being away at college and not being in the correct district to vote.

"College students are really lazy and don't think about how [participating in elections] is going to affect them with the voting process," Schottleutner said.

A renowned Abraham Lincoln scholar will dispel 10 common misconceptions about the former president in an event hosted by the history department Tuesday night.

Associate Professor Steven Woodworth said speaker Allen Guelzo's talk is titled "Ten Lies about Lincoln," and it will take place at 7 p.m. in Palko Hall.

Guelzo is the leading scholar on Lincoln and one of the nation's top scholars on the Civil War, Woodworth said.

The event will happen within a week of the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's election to the presidency in 1860, but it is only a coincidence.

The No. 4 Horned Frogs are leaving the Dallas-Fort Worth area for just the second time this season to take on the UNLV Rebels on Saturday.

The Rebels have a 1-6 season record under first-year head football coach Bobby Hauck, and rank near the bottom nationally of almost every offensive and defensive category.

UNLV hasn't beaten TCU since the Frogs joined the Mountain West Conference in 2005, but the Rebels have had a week off to prepare for the No. 4 Horned Frogs. Head football coach Gary Patterson said the off-week is big for UNLV.
