It may have been Valentine's Day, but the men's basketball team didn't get cards or chocolates from the Brigham Young Cougars. All the Horned Frogs received was an extension of their losing streak, which is now six games long.

The Horned Frogs led for less than two minutes early in the first half, but BYU quickly turned the tables and never looked back, going on to win 79-63.

Head basketball coach Jim Christian said the Cougars are a very good offensively and overall a well-disciplined team.

With an all-new lineup and fresh activities, this year's Experience India will be an event to remember, said the organization's president.

What makes this year's event different from previous ones is that other countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh will also be represented in the celebration, said DJ Perera, president of Students for Asian-Indian Culture Awareness.

"Everyone involved is not necessarily Asian, so that's the beautiful part of it," Perera said. "From the music, to how the food is served, there's just a wide representation."

More than 500 students and alumni will receive reimbursements from the university-provided health insurer Aetna after New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo found that the claims system had not been receiving the frequent updates it needed.

The reimbursements for the 517 TCU students and health care providers will total more than $34,000, but this amount represents a small portion of the total claims for the university, said Marilyn Hallam, coordinator of the Brown-Lupton Health Center office.

Andrew Weatherford's Feb. 11 column, "Pop culture a reflection of immoral society," makes the argument that Britney Spears' music is a reflection of society's moral status. I could not disagree more.

Using Spears as a barometer for our nation's moral status is just as asinine as lumping the entire music industry together as one moral sampling. Spears' new single "If U Seek Amy" is a reflection of something else - limited musical ability and lack of depth as a human being.
