Cathleen O'Shaughnessy, a graduate communications student, possibly saved the life of her friend after she called for help when she saw her friend was in trouble.

O'Shaughnessy said that although she and her friends were scared to call university police or her resident assistant when her friend had a bad reaction to alcohol, the Medical Amnesty/Good Samaritan Policy helped her make the decision to make the call. O'Shaughnessy was under 21 years old at the time and could have faced penalties from the university if she was caught under the influence.

It is truly mystifying to me that people can't use good common sense when they are ill. Children's parents frequently send them to class sick at my daughter's school, and all weekend while out with my...

Given that alcohol violations have increased 70 percent this fall as compared to last, it is abundantly clear that students living on campus need to exercise more discretion in their consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Such a marked increase in the occurrence of the violations shows that dorm room get-togethers and groups returning from a night out are quickly evolving into loud nuisances to other residents of on-campus living facilities.

The TCU Wellness Center and Recreation Center will organize the TCU Turkey Trot 5k run-walk Friday, a human resources official said. The event stars at 3 p.m at the entrance to the University Recreation Center.

Marilyn Porter, data control coordinator for the office of human resources, said the event should be a hit.

"I'm so excited. It's going to be a hoot," Porter said. "A lot of people won't be able to (finish) it ... but we're hoping we get a lot of donations for the kids."

The Lady Frogs basketball team will travel to Norman, Okla. Saturday take on the No. 20 Oklahoma Sooners at 2:07 p.m.

TCU beat Fresno State at home Wednesday night 63-52 behind three players who scored in double figures, led by junior forward Helena Sverrisdottir's 15-point effort.

The 2-0 Frogs have outscored their opponents 172-82 so far this season, but likely will not have as easy of a time against a Sooners defense that allows 64 points a game. The Oklahoma offense averages 79.5 points per game.

The Fort Worth Police Department has not made any arrests in the search for the suspect in the Oct. 13 sexual assault, Sgt. Chad Mahaffey wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

He said he could not release anymore information because the investigation is ongoing.

TCU Police Sgt. Kelly Ham referred questions to Director of Communications Lisa Albert, who said she had no new information.

Stop me if this sounds familiar. Coming off a huge win, the Frogs go into the mountains. They're playing a team with the reputation of a hard-nosed defense in a loud stadium with only a few diehard Frog fans making the trip. It's freezing and snowing.

TCU doesn't play Air Force this week, but they will see a similar foe in Wyoming. This isn't a warning that Wyoming might beat us. It's a warning that the same results aren't acceptable anymore.
