Although not as formidable as their counterparts in the running attack, the Frogs' wide receivers proved they were a force to be reckoned with during the 2008 season.

The key member of the team's wide receiving corps in 2009 will be junior Jimmy Young. Young was far and away the Frogs' greatest threat through the air in 2008 when he caught 59 passes for 988 yards and five touchdowns. He had 667 more yards than the receiver with the second most yards.

Students are working on proposing a modified format of the student tailgate that will effectively disperse cliques during the event and allow those of age to drink alcohol, an Interfraternity Council representative said.

Evan Berlin, Interfraternity Council president, said he and Student Body President Kelsie Johnson have worked with Panhellenic Council Representative Lindsay Ray to tout the Strategic Action Plan for Tailgating.

When baseball season began, the Horned Frogs and Texas Tech weren't scheduled to play each other. By the conclusion of Monday's game between the two teams, the Red Raiders were probably wishing it had stayed that way.

The team improved its overall record to 23-10 with the win and remains in third place in the Mountain West Conference.

The three-match road trip began Thursday when the Horned Frogs handed No. 41 New Mexico its first conference loss of the season with a 5-2 victory. The Lobos can still claim a share of the regular-season championship if they defeat San Diego State University at home April 21.

Chancellor Victor Boschini said Monday that the negative public reaction that prompted the decision to close the new Living Learning Communities was not targeted at approved housing for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning students and their supporters.

Boschini said he received many reactions regarding the announcement of the new LLCs, most of which were centered on concerns that the communities foster separatism.

Applications for teaching positions in the Fort Worth Independent School District may be up, but available positions have decreased markedly, a FWISD official said.

Terry Buckner, the director of recruiting for FWISD, said the school district is predicting to hire only 450 new teachers this year compared to 900 last year because of two economic reasons: Many federal education programs are being eliminated, meaning many unemployed educators are being hired as teachers, and fewer teachers are retiring.

It's no secret that the Frogs love running the football. The team ran the ball 642 times last season - the fifth highest total in the country - for 2863 yards and 39 touchdowns. The Frogs' dedication to...
