Published Mar 6, 2009

The current economic situation is causing universities across the country to prepare for possible enrollment decreases in their liberal arts departments, but the university's program is not following that pattern, a university official said.

Nowell Donovan, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, said enrollment in liberal arts classes has increased.



Andy Schoolmaster, dean of AddRan College of Liberal Arts, said enrollment for the spring semester credit hour generation in the college was up this spring over last spring.

Despite trailing by as much as 13 early in the game, the team bounced back to win 53-47.



The Utes took a three-point lead into the locker room at halftime thanks to a made layup on the last shot of the half, but the Lady Frogs began the second half on a 8-2 run to take the lead for the first time.

Horned Frogs rally late to top Shockers

Published Mar 6, 2009

The baseball team plated four runs in the eighth inning in a come-from-behind 6-5 win over Wichita State on Friday night at Lupton Stadium. Three of those runs came on first baseman Matt Vern's three-run home run.

Vern said he was simply taking advantage of an opportunity.



"I'm just blessed to have the opportunity to come up there and do that for my team when the time calls," Vern said. "It was good for us, and I was just out there to compete for the team and help get the team a win."

Fantasy Baseball: World Baseball Classic offers sneak peak at players

Published Mar 6, 2009

The World Baseball Classic is officially underway after Japan knocked off China 4-0 early Thursday morning.

These games might not really matter to your fantasy leagues, but you do get a chance to see some of your favorite players face off against some live pitching with something on the line.



Seeing Ichiro Suzuki go 0-5 was a little disheartening, but it was just the first game of the Classic and he hadn't played at all for the Mariners in spring training yet, so don't freak out owners. I think Ichiro will still hit .310, score 100 runs and steal 40 bags.

In one of the most romantic endings yet on ABC's "The Bachelor," Jason Mesnick declared his love for Melissa Rycroft, proposed to her and bestowed her with the coveted final rose. He said he was the "happiest man in the universe" and couldn't wait to start his life with Rycroft.

Flash forward to "After the Final Rose" and you find a completely different Jason.



"After the Final Rose" is normally a segment where the new couple shares their love and future plans. The audience oohs and aahs at the couple and hopes against all hope the two will actually last.

Tailgate policy inefficient in curbing underage drinking

Published Mar 5, 2009

Oh, the glorious memory of tailgates. Greeks chillin' and hot dogs grillin' makes one reminisce about times when students actually came together in one central location to support their school in what I believe is called "school spirit."

The advent of the 2008 football season with a new designated tailgate location and a ban on alcohol consumption marked the end of student tailgating as we knew it.
