Friday, the board of trustees decided that sophomores will be required to live on campus.I wish I could explain what logic is behind this, but I really can't imagine why the trustees would even consider this. Certainly this isn't another case of the peer universities doing this, because this is one of the first times I've heard of this being required.

I understand the desire to have freshmen remain on campus. If the university has the facilities, then it's a great way to make sure students get involved during their first year in college. But sophomores?

In the past months, the Student Government Association has been working with an honor code task force to formulate a specialized TCU honor code. This is not the first time an effort of this sort has been made: three years ago, SGA created the Integrity Council to serve the same purpose, but unfortunately, its efforts and those that came after it were unsuccessful.In an Oct. 13 Skiff article, task force Chairwoman Ambika Sharma claimed that one of the reasons previous efforts may have failed is a lack of student interest and support.

The Horned Frog men's basketball has a winning record two games into the season after practicing for only a month. The Frogs defeated the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum Tuesday night with a score of 59-53.

Neil Dougherty, the head coach, said what stood out to him the most was the effort the players put in. He said they played hard and that the fullest potential of that effort has not been seen.

Another thing he said stood out to him was there were no leaders.

Following the fourth consecutive win, the Horned Frogs are preparing for their return to Amon Carter Stadium on Saturday where they will take on Mountain West Conference opponent San Diego Aztecs."I think they are a dangerous team," head coach Gary Patterson said at the weekly Coaches' Luncheon on Tuesday.

Patterson said the Aztecs' standings going into the game can be deceiving as the team has posted just a 2-7 mark but is returning to a form that could improve its current record.

A day in the life of a college student consists of classes, studying and work, but one TCU student has much more on her plate.The women's basketball season has just begun and JimAnne Hejny has not only had to juggle practices, games and schoolwork but being a wife and mother as well.

JimAnne Hejny, formerly JimAnne Baker, married former Horned Frogs defensive lineman Jesse Hejny in the summer of 2005.

Although TCU's Ark Project is scheduled to officially come to an end today, almost $2,000 short of its initial $5,000 goal, donations are expected to continue coming in until Thanksgiving, said the project's main organizer."Money should be trickling in for a while so there's still a chance $5,000 could be raised," said Kelly Rand, a junior social work major and the project's main organizer. "We just had to end the project so we can focus on something else."

The men's swimming and diving team took its first conference win Saturday against the Wyoming Cowboys while the women's team fell to the Wyoming Cowgirls.The men's team defeated the Wyoming Cowboys (2-1 overall and 0-1 in conference) by a score of 126-115. The women's team lost its meet (3-1, 2-0) 146-97.

"This was a big victory for our men on the road today, and we'll just look to improve on the women's side," said Richard Sybesma, head coach. "I felt like we swam very well being at a disadvantage because of the altitude."

The biggest obstacle in the film industry is trying to get a job at a young age and with little experience, a Hollywood cinematographer said to radio-TV-film and theater students Tuesday.On his first trip back to campus since 1987, Blake Evans, a 1986 RTVF graduate from TCU, said he could relate to many of the issues students deal with while they're in college and after graduation.

"You want to do too much when you're young, and they won't let you," Evans said. "It can be frustrating to hear someone tell you that reaching your goal might be a lifelong pursuit."
