Peyro named MWC swimmer of the week

Published Feb 3, 2010

After a strong performance at Centenary College during the weekend, junior Edgar Peyro was named the Mountain West Conference swimmer of the week.

This is Peyro's first swimmer of the week honor in his career at TCU.



Peyro marks the eighth MWC winner from the H2O Frogs this season.



He earned two No. 1 spots in Saturday's meet at Centenary in the 100 breaststroke and the 400 individual medley. He was also the anchor for the 200 freestyle relay, helping the Frogs to a second place finish in the event.

Women’s role as mom and breadwinner grown over the decade

Published Feb 3, 2010

When most people saw Teri Garr dressed in a suit and heading out the door for work while Michael Keaton changed diapers in the hit movie "Mr. Mom," I'm sure no one thought it was foreshadowing. Back in 1983, it seemed unlikely that a woman could ever be the primary breadwinner. In 2010, it is no longer just a movie plot. It's many couples' reality.

According to a study done by the Pew Research Center, wives are now the primary wage earner in 22 percent of homes. It's unbelievable that women were only 7 percent of primary breadwinners in 1970. We've come a long way, baby.

The baseball team could go farther than the football team

Published Feb 3, 2010

While the football team came one University of Texas point short of the BCS National Title game, Jim Schlossnagle was putting the final players in place to make another title run. The football team reached a level they hadn't competed at since the 1930s. The baseball team has a chance to make some history of its own this spring.

The Horned Frog baseball team will open the season at No. 11 in the Baseball America poll, but there are three reasons to believe the team has a better chance to end the year at No. 1 than football did.

E-readers creating new buzz in the college market

Published Feb 3, 2010

Sophomore political science major Abbey Brokos is an avid reader, yet her backpack is lighter this spring.

With a few taps on a screen, Brokos can now pull up "The Prince" or "The Communist Manifesto" - required reading for her political theory class - in her Nook, a 12-ounce electronic book reader from Barnes & Noble with dimensions just slightly greater than those of the average paperback.



"I have a huge bookshelf, and each year, I have to pack it up and lug it around," said Brokos, a resident assistant in Foster Hall.
