Feliz solved Rangers’ Achilles heal

Published Feb 23, 2011

It has happened before; an All-Star fireball-throwing closer is converted into a starter. The result is usually the same; closers are just not as dominant when they move to the starting rotation. The reasons for converting Neftali Feliz are obvious 8212; Feliz has a 100 mph fastball and an electric curveball, he was named the 2010 American League Rookie of the Year, and he led all rookies with 40 saves in 43 attempts. While the Rangers need more depth at starting pitching, converting Feliz into a starter would compromise the Rangers' excellent bullpen.

Market Square cooks up fresh changes

Market Square cooks up fresh changes

Published Feb 23, 2011

Market Square is making an effort to enhance the dining experience for TCU students by preparing more foods in-house rather than buying canned versions from Sysco, Executive Chef Charlie Guajardo said.

To improve food for students, foods such as the hummus, mashed potatoes, marinara sauce and salsa will now be made on-site at Market Square, he said.

"What we're trying to do is veer away from constitutional cooking," Guajardo said. "We're trying to make homemade, fresh foods for the students."

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.

No. 30 TCU women’s golf finish fourth at Central District Invitational

Published Feb 22, 2011

TCU junior Brooke Beeler was the individual runner-up, just one stroke off the pace, to lead No. 30 TCU to a fourth-place finish after Tuesday's final round of the Central District Invitational in Parrish, Fla.

Beeler, who shot a TCU record 65 in Monday's opening round, finished with a 2-under-par 214, one stroke behind LSU freshman Austin Ernst.

Beeler won the Alamo Invitational in November and was seeking her second tournament title of the year. She also tied for second at October's Windy City Collegiate Classic in her home state of Illinois.

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."

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.
