When you think of football games, what do you think of? Cheering in the stands until you lose your voice? Painting your face so purple that your professors can't tell whether you've been strangled or gone...

Coming off arguably the most successful season in TCU baseball's history, head coach Jim Schlossnagle signed a contract extension Monday that will take him through the 2014 season. During his tenure as Horned Frogs head coach, Schlossnagle has compiled a record of 167-84 in just four seasons - good for a .665 winning percentage. He has managed four consecutive conference championship teams and has racked up the four winningest seasons in school history during the past four seasons.

As the anticipation continues to build for Saturday's game between the Horned Frogs and the Texas Longhorns, students campuswide are sounding off with their opinions of who will come out victorious in...

One man who experienced hazing in college told his story to students to raise awareness during National Hazing Prevention Week.In his speech titled "Hazed and Confused," Erle Morring recalled his fraternity experience and the subsequent deaths of two of his fraternity's pledges.

As a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity at Auburn University, Morring said he was hazed on a regular basis. Morring said he holds these hazing rituals responsible for his friends' deaths and tells his story to college campuses.

"DJ, congratulations on your new appointment as Resident Assistant to Milton Daniel Hall." Those words afforded me such excitement that only my fellow RA colleagues and past RAs can best articulate. Knowing that all your hard work, academically and socially, paid off by being elected to serve as an RA for TCU is not only a privilege, but also a life-changing experience. It creates a pathway to discovering yourself while maintaining a fine balance between embracing the extreme personalities and ethnic differences of students while implementing policies that are set by TCU.

A group of juniors have begun visiting residence halls in hopes of teaching students about healthy eating.Juniors in the Coordinated Program in Dietetics worked with Sodexho, TCU's food service provider, to modify the company's Balance, Mind, Body and Soul program. The students are presenting the revised version of Sodexho's program at several residence halls this semester.

Erin Strong, a senior nutrition major, said she revised the presentation and taught it to about 15 juniors in the dietetics program. Then, the students made additional modifications to it, Strong said.

Near the beginning of the Earth's history, the first cell arose from the primordial ooze; oxygen-breathing bacteria took more than a billion additional years to evolve. Eventually, fish began to swim and grow eyes and jaws. They pulled themselves onto swamps as amphibians, and after awhile, mammals came to be: their brains growing larger, larger, larger. Finally, life evolved beautifully self-aware humans. So do we, after all this effort, allow our minds to be sucked into sitcoms instead of books?The answer, unfortunately, is "yes."

Two students are working to make their dream of a women's rugby team at TCU become a reality. Though freshmen Kayla Bankhead and Erin House have proposed the idea, the team is not official yet.

Bankhead said in order to have a team, there must be at least 10 non-freshman students signed up. Once the team is created, Bankhead and House plan on finding a coach and preparing for their first season.

Bankhead said it will most likely be a year before the team competes in an actual game.

Over the years, student consciousness toward the environment has fluctuated from low, to very low and back up to mediocre. It has never been something to brag about, especially since January when a national survey of 100 universities rated TCU as having a "D" in its recycling practices.Until this sub-par grade was issued, very few visible changes have been made to campus. Recently the Styrofoam cups in The Main have been replaced with biodegradable cups and organic straws.
