Two former university athletes will return to campus today to raise money for KinderFrogs School.

Chad Hennings and P.D. Shabay will answer questions about performing under pressure, building positive momentum in the workforce and motivating teams both on and off the field, Shabay said.

Traci Larrison, senior account executive for ISP Sports, said both speakers were chosen because of their ability to talk about these topics to all audiences attending the event.

She said tickets are $20, and the event is open to the public.

With the spring semester underway, intramurals kick into gear in February with a full calendar of team and individual events.

Individual events will kick off tonight at 7 p.m. with a Hot Shot tournament, a single-player event where players shoot basketballs from various points on the floor. The top eight competitors will be showcased during halftime of TCU men's basketball games to compete for a netbook computer.

The fun will continue with a rock, paper, scissors tournament on Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. Both individual tournaments are free.

A long-time fixture in American politics will speak to political science students and faculty about his 50 years of experience in federal government when he visits campus Tuesday, a university official said.

Former Sen. George McGovern will be featured at the 2010 Jim Wright Symposium, which will take place in the Brown-Lupton University Union Ballroom today at noon. All seats available for the event are full.

"(McGovern) is a walking piece of American history," said Jim Riddlesperger, a political science professor.

The Black Student Association should be commended for taking action to increase attendance at its meetings.

Although BSA has more than 100 members, some events have a turnout in the single digits. This sort of issue may be attributed to a lack of motivation on the part of the members.

Membership in a student organization is more than just something students add to their resume. It is meant to enrich students' experience during their years on campus.

The university has joined the likes of Carnegie Mellon and the University of Oxford by launching a channel on iTunes U, a program that will keep students, prospective students, faculty, staff and alumni up to date and in touch through a digital media platform, said a new media specialist.

"Everyone's using it. It's a great way for the university to be out there, to promote itself," said new media specialist Amy Peterson. "Since iTunes U is such a big deal right now in universities, it just made sense for us to have a site also."

Despite below-freezing temperatures Saturday night, the Horned Frog club lacrosse team defeated Centenary College of Louisiana in their spring season opener 15-2.

Despite a slow start in the first quarter, the Frogs quickly hit their tempo, putting up a score of 8-1 by halftime.

Even with steady winds and a temperature of 29 degrees, the Frogs' defense held Centenary to two points, giving up only one goal in each half.

After losing at home to New Mexico, the Frogs go back on the road to face another conference opponent, the Brigham Young Cougars.

The men's basketball team's 73-57 loss Saturday to the Lobos revealed a series of holes on offense and defense, said head coach Jim Christian.

"It's hard to find solid play off the bench on either end of the floor," he said. "It's hard to score, and it's hard to stop people, so we can't rest guys."

Christian said his team is struggling to find its consistency throughout the game.

After a difficult loss on the road to the New Mexico Lobos, the Lady Frogs return to Daniel-Meyer Coliseum hoping to advance their home winning streak to 18.

Head coach Jeff Mittie said the Lady Frogs are going to have to be aggressive and stop conference rival Brigham Young in transition to win the game Wednesday.

The Lady Frogs dropped out of the Associated Press Top-25 poll after they lost 60-53 to the Lobos in New Mexico on Saturday.

Mittie said they did not play well against the Lobos and were not as aggressive as they should have been.

The first American war seems to have set the stage for the rest of them. I speak of the American Revolution. In this war, so the narrative goes, rebellious British citizens rose up in violence to protest...

In a recent Public Policy Polling survey of 1,151 registered voters, 49 percent, the highest for any network, stated that they trust FOX News. That's 10 percent higher than CNN, the network that calls itself "the most trusted name in news."

Overall, these numbers are quite scary. If more Americans think that FOX News offers the most credible information, then we are truly on our way to hell in a hand basket.

The men's swimming and diving team practiced for Saturday's meet versus Centenary College with a major theme in mind: taper time.

To break the monotony of training for primary strokes, head coach Richard Sybesma said Horned Frog swimmers would swim in off-events in Shreveport, La.. This "taper time" consists of a less rigorous competition and workout schedule and is intended to give the team a chance to rest before the Mountain West Championship meet at the end of February.

Track and field head coach Darryl Anderson knows all teams are not created equal. His expectations for the men's and women's squads are different, but Anderson still believes there is championship-talent on both teams.

"On the women's side, it's going to be a work in progress, because we just added three girls at semester...And we feel really good about all three of them, but it's going to take them some time to really get their legs underneath them," Anderson said.
