When Brad Christianson arrived at the university in the fall of 2006, he never thought he would produce a television show about the University Recreation Center.

Christianson, a senior film-TV-digital media major and employee of the Recreation Center's marketing office, presented the idea this past summer to start a show called "Rec 360," which highlights activities at the Recreation Center.

The show was named "Rec 360" because it gave a "circular look at Campus Recreation," Jay Iorizzo, associate director of Campus Recreation facilities, wrote in an e-mail.

If there's one good thing about how the Mountain West Conference schedule is setup, it's the chance for redemption in a two-match series.

In front of a sold-out, record-setting crowd of 1875, TCU volleyball, which lost to Colorado State on Sept. 26, got its revenge Thursday night in a thrilling 3-0 (25-23, 25-22, 25-10) upset over the No. 25 Rams.

TCU's win also snapped Colorado State's 12-match win streak that dated back to Sept. 9.

With a 6-0 record so far this season, the Horned Frog football team heads to Provo, Utah to square off against nationally-ranked Brigham Young University. They face off against the Cougars Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

The upcoming game has received attention on the national level because of both teams' high poll standings. The Cougars are currently ranked No. 16 in the AP poll with a 6-1 record.

Both teams head into the weekend undefeated in the Mountain West Conference.

When psychologists Karyn Purvis and David Cross were approached by adoptive parents who had concerns about their childrens' transitions into their new families, they decided that the consequences of ignoring their pleas were too great to remain inactive. The following summer they started Hope Connection, a camp to create an environment where they could observe and research adopted, neglected, at-risk and traumatized children.

Frogs must put constant pressure on Hall

The Frogs have faced teams with prolific offenses for the past two years with great star power to back up highly-ranked team stats. This season the Frogs have already stopped Clemson running back C.J. Spiller and have come out victorious against an Air Force team that was ranked second in the nation in rush offense at the time.

But TCU hasn't faced an offense like this.

A surge in interest in the Rape Aggression Defense workshop has prompted TCU Police to add a third class this fall, an officer said.

Campus police usually offers one class every semester, but the number of students who want to take the class has increased in light of the recent reports of sexual assault, Crime Prevention Officer Pam Christian said. The other two classes scheduled are already full, she said.

An impasse in negotiations between the university's cable provider and the channel that carries Horned Frog football games will not prevent students from getting their game-watching fix, a university official...

A contract dispute between the sports channel Versus and the university's TV provider DirecTV will leave campus fans hoping to check out this weekend's football game against BYU with a blank screen.

The game will still be available to watch on campus, but not in individual residence hall rooms. In the meantime, the Frog faithful will have to watch the game at local bars or in the 1873 restaurant in the Brown-Lupton University Union.

The mention of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in today's political sphere, or even general society, seems to elicit no less than vigorous chair-throwing and shouting matches of great amplitude involving...
