The rising cost of brand-name birth control on college campuses nationwide has had no noticeable effect on the amount of prescriptions being filled at TCU, the chief pharmacist of the Health Center Pharmacy...

The tennis team continued an undefeated season, knocking off the University of Texas at Arlington 7-0 and Abilene Christian University 6-0.

"I think we played well today," head coach Dave Borelli said. "This is the way we should be playing."

The women's swimming and diving team wrapped up its regular season with a loss to the University of North Texas on Wednesday night.

North Texas beat TCU, 161-139, but the H2O Frogs won the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly and the 400-meter individual medley. The team fell to 6-8 on the year, finishing 2-6 in conference.

The win for the Mean Green was its first ever against TCU. The women's team was previously 16-0 against North Texas dating back to the 1998-1999 season.

The government made a mistake when it inadvertently ended the government subsidy of college health centers' birth control options - a mistake that could prove to be dangerous.

According to a 2006 study by the American College Health Association, 39 percent of college women said they use oral contraceptives. Although TCU students may not be feeling the pinch (some thanks to send-home), the rest of the 1 million college women that use birth control may be.

The Asian Student Association and the Asian/Asian-American interest sorority are celebrating the Asian New Year with a philanthropic purpose.

During campus tours, incoming students are told "Blue Light" safety phones can be seen from any point on campus.

It makes sense considering 70 of them are strategically located around campus. Safety has always been a priority at the university and it is evident from services like Froggie-Five-O.

Increasing surveillance by the Fort Worth Police Department since the rise of car burglaries shows the tremendous effort put forth by the community to ensure everyone's safety.

Entering the season with a core of untested pitchers and a lineup consisting of new batters at the 2-5 spots, the TCU baseball team appears to be heading toward tough times.

This makeup of new players could actually be a good thing for the Horned Frogs. The 2008 team has the opportunity to carve its own identity.

A man needs to know that when a woman asks him to go with her to find a black skirt, the trip to the mall is not just about a black skirt; it is about every possible black skirt out there.

A woman, on the other hand, needs to know that when a man finds her a black skirt, it is not time to continue the search for another three hours; it is time to go home - mission accomplished.

I highly recommend the "Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.

I wanted to read the book before I even knew they were making a movie because my brother had to read it for one of his classes and raved about it. And when he likes a book, it is generally a classic in the making.

The "Kite Runner" centers on a young boy, Amir, who flees Afghanistan with his father to escape almost certain poverty and death.
