The first annual TCU Women's Baseball Clinic got off to a great start, raising more than $2,500 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Tarrant County, an event representative said.

The clinic, created to raise joint support for breast cancer and the new baseball season, had around 180 participants, said Traci Larrison, a senior account executive for ISP Sports at TCU. The event started with a fashion show of all of the team's uniforms with players striking their best poses on the catwalk.

The university's women's arena polo team has been in the shadows in the past two years but has made a strong comeback with this year's team and players, said new head coach Carrie Whitehouse.

The team started off strong this season, winning its first unofficial match against the University of Texas.

The sport is similar to field hockey, except three people are on a horse with a long mallet trying to keep a ball away from the opposing team, said club team member Sarah Ziomek, a freshman environmental science major.

Following a bore of a day Tuesday, the U.S. made a huge turnaround Wednesday bringing in two golds.

Lindsey Vonn won the No. 1 spot in the women's downhill skiing competition, accompanied on the podium by teammate Julia Mancuso with the silver. Vonn won the gold in her first event of the 2010 Winter Games after failing to medal at all in Torino in 2006. For a full story on Vonn's win go to dailyskiff.com.

Some professional athletes just can't get a clue. The law and their respective league officials have told them what not to do, yet they're either too dumbfounded or naive and do it anyway. I'm talking about professional athletes who tarnish the image of themselves and their leagues with headlines of drug possession, reckless driving, illegal firearms, assault and a plethora of other broken laws.

I don't know what compels athletes who are making more than six figures to act so irresponsibly. They risk their money, anger their fans and ruin their image.

Bringing a horned frog to campus is junior political science major Preston Patry's pet project, but he said he isn't the first to propose the idea.

With the help of finance chair and junior business and political science major Ryan Hoff, Patry proposed a resolution to bring a horned lizard to campus at Tuesday night's House of Student Representatives meeting. The resolution passed with 37 out of 38 votes. The House's Student Relations Committee will take the lead on the project along with the resolution's author, according to resolution.

As we approach both the Lenten and beach seasons, we forget all about our New Year's resolutions and start worrying about spring break plans. We tried losing our "winter weight" through resolutions, but it is time for a new challenge: sacrifices. We hope that we can "sacrifice" an extra cookie at the BLUU to participate in Lenten promises as well as cut a few extra calories off our diet before we hit the beach.

Idiocy once again reared its ugly head when an article in the Skiff came out saying that Gov. Rick Perry not accepting money for schools was going to hurt public schools.The article was even titled "Refusal...

Apartment rental and occupancy rates in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Arlington areas are declining, which could mean more options for university students living off campus and more negotiable rental rates, a university official said.

Craig Allen, director of Housing and Residence Life, said that in the past five years there has been a surge in developers opening apartment complexes around campus. The increase in available housing increased competition between complexes for student residents, he said.

A university official estimated a 25 percent decrease in the University Recreation Center's annual revenue as a result of a limit placed on community memberships at the Recreation Center in January 2009,...

The Student Government Association passed a resolution last week that encourages the university to consider stretching weekend hours for security escort Froggie Five-O. The service currently runs from...

As the basketball season begins to fade away, so too has TCU's chance at Mountain West Conference respectability.

The Horned Frogs (12-15, 4-8 MWC) were never really in contention from the start of Tuesday's game, down by double digits for most of the contest on the way to a 68-51 loss to San Diego State (19-7, 8-4).

With the loss, the Frogs have virtually assured themselves of a fifth-straight sub-.500 finish, considering their last four games of the season come against conference foes with winning records, including No. 12 New Mexico and No. 16 BYU.
