Student Government Association will host the president and vice president of the University of Utah's student government this week to discuss a collaboration of ideas between universities in the Mountain West Conference. SGA President Jace Thompson, SGA Vice President Thomas Pressly and Dean of Campus Life Suzy Adams traveled to Utah during fall break to meet with the Associated Students of the University of Utah and prepare them for a trip to TCU.

Despite leading for most of the game, Stanford came up just short on Saturday, falling 38-36 to the Horned Frogs at Stanford Stadium in a game that, for the second straight week, was decided in the final...

Athletics may be the only thing bringing together schools from the Mountain West Conference now, but there is a possibility student leaders may be solidifying that relationship on a deeper level.The student leaders from TCU and Utah plan to meet to exchange ideas about their respective student government systems in hopes of learning from each other's mistakes and successes.

"Our goal is to have a Mountain West Conference convention where delegates from each university will come and hopefully resolutions for the future will be made," SGA President Jace Thompson said.

Administrators will propose to demolish the Brown-Lupton Student Center to the Board of Trustees, the provost said. Nowell Donovan, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, told Faculty Senate members at the meeting Thursday that it would be more expensive and less academically efficient if the building were left for renovations.

"In the long run, renovations will take longer and cost us more, which is an amazing thought," Donovan said. "It will also create a more beautiful space that will carry into the new the Campus Commons area."

My brother came home Monday night at halftime asking if I could believe how bad Tony Romo was playing."Just give it some time, we got this game," I said to him.

After that, well, the rest is history.

This weekend's matchup against the New England Cheaters will be tough, but only one of these teams knows what it's like to get up off the mat when it has been punched in the mouth.

But before we get into this week's stuff, here are my thoughts for the week:

It was New Year's Eve, 1995. Andrea and Mike Cooper had just come home from a New Year's party and found their only daughter dead in their living room.Kristin had committed suicide because she was depressed after a co-worker raped her, her father, Mike Cooper, said.

Andrea Cooper, Kristen's mother and Delta Delta Delta alumna, who has made it her mission to travel and inform students about rape, depression and suicide will be speaking on TCU's campus for the third time Sunday at noon in Ed Landreth Hall Auditorium.

Editor's Note: The Daily Skiff was not allowed to interview the coach or players for this story.Looking to build on a road victory against a Mountain West Conference opponent, the volleyball team welcomes two more conference opponents to the University Recreation Center this weekend.

At 16-6, the Horned Frogs will host UNLV and San Diego State this weekend. The Rebels sport a record a 13-3 record while the Aztecs come in at 11-6.

Texas Tech has been given a black eye, and Geoffrey Candia delivered the punch. Administrators at Texas Tech banned the sale of a T-shirt depicting a silhouette of Michael Vick dangling the Texas A&M mascot, Reveille, by her leash.

The T-shirt, bearing the university colors that read "Vick 'Em" in reference to the Aggie's slogan "Gig 'em," was created by a Tech student through his fraternity.

Even though Candia, the creator of the T-shirt, expressed regret in printing them, the school still took action.
