Frogs officially add Clemson to schedule

Rumors late last week proved true Friday when the Frogs announced they have completed their non-conference schedule by adding a Sept. 26 game against Clemson University.

The Frogs now have two road games against Atlantic Coast Conference foes next season. The team will play the University of Virginia two weeks earlier on Sept. 12.

TCU and Clemson last met in the first-ever Bluebonnet Bowl in 1959 when the Tigers topped the Frogs 23-7.

Coming off a season-opening series win against a highly ranked Cal State Fullerton team over the weekend, the Horned Frog baseball team will continue its season tonight against Dallas Baptist University.

TCU (2-1) will take on the Patriots (2-1) in the first of back-to-back games at home. The Horned Frogs will play the Texas State University Bobcats (3-1) Wednesday night.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Steven Maxwell is expected to start tonight's game. Maxwell appeared in three games last season before undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery on his elbow.

An early doubles victory couldn't help the women's tennis team stop the No. 10 University of Miami squad on Sunday as the team fell 6-1 after the Hurricanes swept singles play. For the Horned Frogs, however, the outcome didn't reflect the team's effort.

Three of the six singles matches went into third sets, including a heated match between sixth-ranked junior Nina Munch-Soegaard and the Hurricanes' Julia Cohen, ranked 20th in the nation.

I find the conclusion of Friday's piece titled "U.N. fails to live up to mission" by Alex Turner troubling.

This was not only for its narrow standards on which U.N. success was measured (namely, failing to prevent atrocities comparable to those that occurred in WWII), but also the lack of consideration for a myriad of other U.N. accomplishments that are more indicative of its success.

The women's basketball team extended their winning streak to five games by beating the University of Wyoming Cowgirls 60-47 Saturday night at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

The team kept the Cowgirls scoreless for the first five minutes, jumping out to an early 9-0 lead.

The Lady Frogs took advantage of Wyoming turnovers throughout the game, scoring a total of 16 points off of Cowgirl turnovers. Wyoming scored 10 points off of eight TCU turnovers.

The university's decision to participate in the Yellow Ribbon program should be commended.

Beginning in August, the program, a component of the new GI Bill, will allow private universities where the tuition is higher than the most expensive in-state public university to waive some or all of the remaining tuition.

Each private university can elect whether to participate in the program, and colleges are even given the flexibility to choose how many veterans they will waive tuition for and how much of the tuition they will waive.

Young women can stop counting calories and start taking control.

That's the message of award-winning author and journalist Courtney Martin, who is coming to campus Monday to discuss her book, "Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters," and how disordered eating, food and fitness obsession have become normalized among college women, a university official said.

Martin said she was encouraged to write her book after college when she began mentoring young women.

The university intends to honor the commitment made by the veterans who have served the country by pledging to participate in the Yellow Ribbon program, which would fund tuition for incoming veterans, Chancellor Victor Boschini said.

Boschini said agreeing to participate in the program seemed like the right thing for the university to do to help veterans. He said the university looks for opportunities to help bring students with a diversity of experiences to campus and he hopes the Yellow Ribbon program will accomplish that goal.
