The tennis version of the "Battle for the Iron Skillet" will be put on the backburner.

The No. 52 TCU women's tennis match against No. 29 SMU was postponed due to rain.

The match originally was scheduled to begin 6 p.m. Wednesday at Turpin Tennis Stadium in Dallas. The match will be rescheduled for a later time, although a date and time has not been determined.

Postponed matches for the women's tennis team aren't a new occurrence this season.

Guns on campus are dangerous

Published Feb 22, 2011

A bill in the Texas House would allow students with a concealed carry license to carry guns on public college campuses.

While gun carriers must be 21 or older and undergo training on the proper handling of a gun, allowing students carrying concealed handguns to wander public campuses is a dangerous idea.

Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Don Mills said he didn't support the bill because it could create confusion for police reacting to a violent situation.

TCU in fourth after opening rounds of Central District Invitational

Published Feb 22, 2011

Frogs' junior Brooke Beeler shot a school record 7-under-par 65 and holds the individual lead, while TCU is in fourth place after Monday's opening two rounds of the Central District Invitational.

Beeler's opening-round 65 broke the previous TCU mark of 66, set by current Frogs' senior Prisela Campbell at the 2009 LSU Golf Classic. Beeler flirted with the record in November when she carded an opening-round 67 en route to medalist honors at the Alamo Invitational.

With a 6-under 138, Beeler has a three-stroke lead over LSU freshman Austin Ernst entering today's final round.

Transforming libraries not a bad idea

Published Feb 22, 2011

I have a unique appreciation for the value of books. As long as I can remember, my family has collected them. Bookshelves are present in every room in my house. When we last attempted a count, we gave up in the neighborhood of 5,000.

It may be slightly surprising, then, that I do not condemn the transformation of Houston's Lamar High School's library to get rid of books in order to add a coffee shop and e-books. Needless to say, this was not the most popular move. One of the more critical articles in the Houston Press used words such as "appalling," "stupid" and "terrible."

Frogs take on No. 14 Texas A&M Wednesday

Published Feb 22, 2011

The No. 47 TCU men's tennis team will face No. 14 Texas A&M today at 6 p.m.

Men's tennis coach David Roditi said, "(Texas) A&M is our highest ranked team we play at home, it was a match we've had circled on our calender all season."

The match is also TCU's first home tennis match played at night this season.

The Frogs are coming off of a loss to Baylor 10 days ago, which means the team had an extra weekend to focus on their academics and catch up on rest before the challenging match, Roditi said.
