The Horned Frogs didn't just find a way to lose in Tuesday night's game at Baylor - they found a lot of them. In a game that featured a dizzying variety of errors, contested calls and sloppy play, TCU fell to an early deficit that would prove too much to overcome in a 10-4 loss.

Neither head coach Jim Schlossnagle nor TCU players were available for comment after the game.

When you are halfway through your last semester, things can get a little stressful. Whether you are the senior taking 20 hours just to finish things up or the one retaking the class after taking one too many tests with a hangover, it is a time for begging our bosses at internships to keep us on and sending out r‚sum‚ after r‚sum‚ hoping the next one will finally lead to an interview.

Parents only make things worse.

Imagine being on a team going into battle with your leader in points, assists and rebounds absent.That is the reality for the women's basketball team, as junior guard Natasha Lacy missed the teams' NCAA tournament first-round victory over Texas A&M and will again be absent tonight against No. 3 Rutgers in Trenton, N.J.

Team officials would not comment further on the matter other than comments made to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Lacy leads the team with averages of 14.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

Walking up the stairs in the Bass Building a few semesters ago, I overheard a conversation between two young women."That's so ironic," one of them said, turning to the other.

"Ironic?" the second girl asked, turning up her nose. "That's not a real word."

TCU students aren't the only ones who have a vocabulary problem.

One of my professors frequently discusses the "statue" of limitations on certain laws. My friends and I are in a heated debate over whether the "statue" is a stone sculpture or perhaps a nice copper.

On Tuesdays at 5 p.m. many students can be found wandering The Main or the University Recreation Center, but each week one freshmen sits, with gavel in hand, preparing to lead the Student House of Representatives meeting. Thomas Pressley, speaker of the House in the Student Government Association, said that after serving his first semester as a representative for the AddRan College of Humanities and Social Sciences, he was looking to get more involved in SGA in the future- - but not necessarily right away.

As I sat at my gate, a full two hours early eating a $5 McDonalds chicken sandwich that tasted like grilled dust, I began to rant inside my head. Why does flying have to be so difficult? Why do I always seem to get sexually harassed by the security guy? Since when does fast food chicken facsimile cost five bucks? I put in my headphones in an attempt to drown out my rage and prevent the voices in my head from overtaking me and inducing schizophrenia. I sat back in my blue plastic chair and stared straight ahead.
