Calabrese first came to the university in 1984. According to his staff biography, Calabrese was previously a campus minister at Ohio University for eight years.

The Horned Frogs' three-game winning streak came to a screeching halt Wednesday night at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. After a hard-fought game Wednesday, the night ended with the Frogs losing to the Utah Utes (11-12, 4-5) 64-55 in front of 4,414 enthusiastic TCU fans. The loss moves the Frogs' record to 11-14 and to 3-7 in conference, keeping them near the bottom of the Mountain West Conference standings.

The lone bright spot for the Frogs was freshman forward Nikola Cerina.

An advertisement touting a gay dating Web site was rejected from the Super Bowl commercial line up, according to CNN.com. The ad, which features two men watching the game, begins with both men reaching for the chip bowl at the same time and ends with the two guys kissing passionately. It made me giggle out loud when I watched it, and it didn't seem any worse than the usual bevy of ads featuring bikini-wearing girls, sexual entendres or scantily clad members of both sexes. So why was it pulled?

Author William Paul Young shared his own life story Thursday night at the University Christian Church as part of Brite Divinity School's Ministers Week, explaining how his experience turned into his bestseller "The Shack."

Young said his "great sadness" came primarily from sexual abuse as a child and his father's stern discipline. While still young, he said he learned the ability to survive.

"God has built into human beings, and even children, a remarkable ability to survive," Young said.

While most were taking advantage of a closed campus and sleeping in, the day was just beginning for Physical Plant employees. Even though snow was falling and classes were canceled, one plant employee said his day began an hour earlier than usual.

Danny Meyer, the supervising groundskeeper for the east side of campus, said he decided to get up at 3 a.m. when the evening news said snow was in the forecast.

"I got up an hour earlier (to get here)," Meyer said. "I live about 100 miles from here, and that makes a difference."

University performing arts students are coming together today to raise awareness and support for the AIDS Outreach Center of Tarrant County, an event official said.

Event coordinator Ashley Dobravolsky said Chi Tau Epsilon, the university's dance honors society, will host the student-led performing arts concert at noon and at 7 p.m. today in the Brown-Lupton University Union Auditorium. The event is free, but there is a $5 suggested donation at the door. The money raised will help the center continue its awareness and end-of-life care programs, she said.

Take notes, men! Some women at TCU prefer a Valentine's Day weekend filled with cheers and excitement over the typical dinner by candlelight.

Courtney Collings, a junior strategic communication major, said that if a date asked her to a basketball game or any sporting event she would definitely attend.

"That would be fun and different," Collings said. "It wouldn't be cliche."

But even if you don't have a sweetie on this Valentine's Day weekend, you can still enjoy some local sporting events with a bunch of friends.

College of Science and Engineering students are closing the gap between students and potential employers. University students and Career Services are working together to produce the first engineering career fair at TCU.

The event will provide an opportunity for prospective employers from a wide range of industries to meet with students interested in working for their companies, according to the engineering Web site.
