In their next two matches, the men's club lacrosse team wants to power past the University of Nebraska and the University of North Texas and hold onto its No. 2 ranking in the Lone Star Alliance's North Division.

Coming off of a loss to Texas State 15-7, TCU will meet both Nebraska and UNT in competition during the weekend.

Junior Shea Pearson said the team is looking forward to playing Nebraska.

"A lot of the guys are excited to play a team out of state that's from a different conference," Pearson said.

The upcoming weekend is a busy one for the men's and women's tennis teams. The men's team will host the No. 24 Tulsa Golden Hurricane today, and the women will face the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday and the Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois on Sunday.

The men's team boasts a 4-2 record in match play this season. Because of the recent stretch of bad weather, the Horned Frogs haven't played a match in almost two weeks.

Students with a passion for sustainable living will be able to help lead the environmental awareness movement in their residence halls because a new position in the Residence Hall Association, the Eco Rep, will be available for students to apply for next semester.

Brian Sullivan, a junior business and environmental science major, came up with the idea while enrolled in the Chasing Carbon class last semester.

Last week, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told Congress of plans to finally allow women to serve aboard submarines, according to a CNN article.

It's about time.

I was actually unaware that women were not allowed to serve aboard submarines until reading the CNN story, and I wondered why they were not allowed to serve there when women were initially allowed to enlist in the late 1970s.

Yes, it is indeed March, and the temperature outside is still dipping into the 30s. Does this simple fact and the U.S.'s abnormally cold winter indicate that global warming is a myth? Absolutely, positively...

March is often equated with midterms and Spring Break, but those looking for some healthy competition should look to the University Recreation Center for a full schedule of intramural sports this month.
