The volleyball team managed to work a split of the matches in a weekend road series against the BYU Cougars and Utah Utes.Saturday's match with the Utes marked a historic moment for senior libero Calli Corley as she set the all-time record for digs in a career. She notched 33 digs during the match giving her 1,229 for her career.

She is the first Horned Frog to pass the 1,200 dig milestone. The 3-2 match win over Utah broke a four-match losing streak and brought the team to 3-3 in conference.

The confidence gained from the equestrian team's first victory of the season Saturday will hopefully carry over for the rest of the season, the head coach said. Coming off a 9-7 win against Stephen F. Austin, head coach Gary Reynolds said the dominance of the Western team was a big key to Saturday's win. Junior Chloe Baker led the way for the Western team, accumulating a 73.5 score.

Senior Kindel Huffman and junior Carrie von Uhlit took home MVP honors, with two and one, respectively.

During a debate for a senatorial seat in 1858, Democratic candidate Stephen Douglas accused Abraham Lincoln of being two-faced.

Lincoln didn't miss a beat.

"If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?" he quipped.

Up on the stage, carefully rehearsed speeches won't do the trick. Politicians have to be prepared to engage in a battle of wits with their opponents, and humor is their best weapon.

We've all been disappointed at different times of our lives, and I am no exception.Whether it was the passing of two of my grandparents, the Yankees' collapse in the 2004 American League Championship Series...

Engagement is in the air.Maybe it's the change of seasons causing these over-zealous lovebirds to take the plunge.

Or is it becoming more of a trend on campus for a couple to get engaged before graduation?

I just visited one of my great friends at TCU, who recently got engaged.

Naturally, I heard the fairy tale love story, the beginning of wedding plans and, for a glimmer of a second, I wondered what it would be like if I were in the same situation.

But as I drove away, I began to think rationally again.

You are in class diligently listening to the lecture. The professor is finishing up explaining a relatively obvious concept you - and seemingly everyone else - understand and is now preparing to move on to the next topic.

Your eyes wander to an individual in the second or third row, with a puzzled expression on their face, similar to that of George W. Bush in a debate.

Their hand creeps skyward as they decide they cannot figure this out on their own and have an inquiry.

TCU's newest acquisition is an import.Gavin Morrison, originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, has been hired as curator for the College of Fine Arts' new off-campus gallery that will be housed in the old Perrotti's Pizza location at the corner of West Berry Street and Greene Avenue.

Morrison was living in south France when, three months ago, he was contacted by a former colleague in Houston about the curatorial position at TCU.

"What I liked about the position was that everything was fresh," Morrison said. "I can establish the structure and program."

A big performance from a high-scoring freshman is what the soccer team needed Wednesday as it heads into conference play, the head soccer coach said.Freshman forward Jackie Torda recorded the first hat trick of her college career and led TCU to a 5-2 win against Prairie View A&M on Wednesday at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium.

Head coach Dan Abdalla said it was a great outing for the freshman forward, who now has nine goals on the season.
