Students who recently took the Medical College Admission Test are some of the last to view it in its pencil and paper format.Starting January 2007, the MCAT will only be offered in a computerized format, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Kristi Tebo, a junior neuroscience major, took the MCAT in August and is scheduled to receive the results of her test on Saturday.

"I am hoping I did as well as I did in the prep tests I took before," said Tebo, who took about nine prep tests with Kaplan.

The Horned Frogs' volleyball team looks to improve its record, and despite recent losses, is happy with its season thus far.The Frogs, who are 3-4 in the Mountain West Conference, host conference foe New Mexico Lobos on Friday night, and team members said they hope to bounce back after last weekend's two losses.

"We've had a really good start," junior right-side hitter Emily Allen said. "In preseason, we did well, and we've struggled a little in conference, but I think next time in conference, we're going to pull it together and do really, really well."

TCU students and faculty members sampled Latin American delicacies while listening to a Latin jazz band Tuesday as part of an event that marked the end of Hispanic Heritage Month.Greg Trevino, director of Inclusiveness and Intercultural Services, said this event gave people a chance to integrate a little bit of Latin culture into their daily routine.

Trevino said the department has organized several events in the past to promote Hispanic Heritage Month; however, this was the first time the department had organized something that involved both food and music.

The 24-hour change in weather from Monday's clear skies to yesterday's thunderstorms has meant both good and bad things for students and faculty.Melissa Pecorello, a junior psychology major from New York, said she has experienced a lot of rain, but not like the conditions in Texas.

"The weather patterns here are really weird," said Pecorello, who commutes everyday. She also said she had a hard time driving on the slippery highways yesterday.

Being liberal once meant being radical and perhaps original. But now it seems to stand for being trendy - at least in Austin at the recent Austin City Limits Music Festival. Granted, it was Austin, and beyond that, it attracted people from Sixth Street in Austin.But still, both edges of the political spectrum can fall into this trap, and you see it all over college campuses, even at good ol' conservative TCU.

In fact, being "trendy liberals" may contradict what they actually stand for.

When students graduate from high school, they look forward to college being a breath of fresh air: there wouldn't be any more quizzes, worksheets or busy work. If only that were true.

Many professors seem reluctant to end class on the belief that students were actually paying attention. So they take it upon themselves to assign two worksheets due for the next class and prepare a pop quiz.

Before all of TCU's aspiring actors, actresses and dancers go to Hollywood, the Student Filmmakers Association is encouraging them to audition tonight for three upcoming film projects, said the association's president.Jonathan Nicholas, the SFA president, said this semester is SFA's second year on campus as a film club, though, he said, the association only made one film due to a smaller budget last year.

This semester, SFA is working on three, five-minute films, one of which will be a music video, said Nicholas, a senior radio-TV-film major.

After looking at TCU's summer-school policy, a task force decided to amend the credit transfer policy, according to a Sept. 28 Skiff article. The new policy allows students to transfer only 12 hours from a community college before they earn 54 hours, or the equivalent of junior status, at TCU. I feel like a hypocrite saying it, and I know plenty of people disagree, but this amendment can only further TCU's reputation as a prestigious private university, and I believe this was the task force's intention.

The Student Government Association rejected a bill to establish caucuses within SGA and approved a bill to change the credit hours needed to qualify for student body vice president Tuesday night.Lindsay Beattie, elections and regulations chair, said she introduced a bill to create caucuses in an effort to have all representatives in a constituency get to know each other better and get more work done.

"Hopefully this will get people working on legislation a little bit more," said Beattie, a senior English major, before the bill was rejected.
