University graduate student Mary Cassaro said her parents taught her the importance of smart saving skills early on. Around age 12, years before higher education was on her mind, she said money earned from the occasional baby-sitting job allowed her to begin a bank account of her own.

"I think that when emergency situations did come it was nice that (the money) was there," Cassaro said. "It was a last resort kind of thing, but it has helped with everything."

Students learned how environmentalism and feminism related to each other during a panel discussion on ecofeminism Tuesday night.

The panel discussion, co-sponsored by the TCU Women's Network and the Latina sorority Sigma Lambda Alpha, addressed questions about environmental sustainability and the role of women in sustainability.

Stephanie Eady, an environmental science lecturer, defined the term.

Many times American teenagers are ragged on for being lazy, incompetent and unaware of what is going on in this world. Who can blame them? They are still in high school and have no worries about current...

With No. 14 Utah looming in the distance, Horned Frogs head coach Gary Patterson said in his weekly press conference Tuesday that it is important to focus on what is in front of them as the team prepares for this week's road game against a "resilient" San Diego State Aztecs team.

"I don't think anyone's looking forward to Utah," Patterson said. "I think the fans are, but as far as our kids I don't think so. I think if they would have done that you probably would have seen a little of that against UNLV."

Members of the TCU Environmental Club worked together this semester to revitalize the group after it nearly died out last year.

The club lacked leadership after its president left to study abroad, said Macy Zander, senior environmental science and political science major. That, combined with members' hectic school and work schedules, caused club involvement to dwindle. As meetings became more sporadic, Zander said, attendance at meetings dropped to as low as four or five people on average.

With all the blown calls in the Major League Baseball postseason this year, the league should expand its use of replay to improve the quality of the game.

Currently, the MLB only uses replay for "boundary calls," which are calls that focus on whether or not a home run had gone over the fence or whether a home run was fair of foul. This new rule was only introduced to the game in August 2008 after a plethora of missed home run calls that season. Baseball is the only sport that seems to be resistant to using replay to get the call right.

At the end of each soccer season at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium, one night is set aside to honor seniors and the contributions they've made to the program. This year's bittersweet ceremony was held Friday night following a 4-1 loss to San Diego State University and ended, as usual, with flowers and a video tribute to this season's three departing seniors, Lizzy Karoly, Kelly Faerber and Michelle Nguyen.

But any Frog soccer fan who has been around for the past four years knows Friday night was also the celebration of a revival that began when this senior class entered TCU.
