At 39, Laura Crawley's strong and slender limbs are masked behind her black leggings and rubber flip-flops. Normally a marathon runner, she had to change her workout because of a stress fracture. Fresh out of her yoga class, Crawley sat at the table, tearing her sour dough bread apart with her shivering hands. "I'm cold," she said with a quiver. A blue bandana pulled her cinnamon hair back from her cornflower blue eyes and fresh face lacking makeup. She brought her chilled fingers above her ears that contained only one gold stud to point to the gray hairs that weren't there.

History professor openings increase

Published Feb 16, 2006

Student seeking job opportunities in the present are looking to the past. For the first time in 15 years, openings for history professor positions in 2004-2005 exceeded the number of doctorate degrees awarded, according to Perspectives, the American Historical Association magazine.

The increase in available jobs is a result of the baby-boomer generation that created the need for more classrooms and teachers in the 1950s and 1960s, said Ken Stevens, the history department chairman.

Baseball: Texas State slides past Frogs

Published Feb 15, 2006

The Horned Frogs were unable to sustain an early lead - or any offense - Tuesday night as TCU fell to Texas State 5-1.TCU (2-2) benefitted from shaky starting pitching and jumped out to an early 1-0 lead but fell victim to an opportunistic Texas State (2-5) offense as the game progressed. The Frogs also had no answer for the Bobcats' bullpen, and Texas State pitchers retired the last 19 TCU batters.

Head coach Jim Schlossnagle said the team was simply outplayed.

"I thought their pitchers pitched better than ours," Schlossnagle said. "We hit balls right to them."

Department selectivity beneficial

Published Feb 15, 2006

Departments at TCU are stuck between a rock and a hard place.Recently, the Schieffer School of Journalism wanted to raise requirements for its minors to have a 2.5 GPA because the 30 percent increase in journalism students has caused enrollment to exceed the number of classes and teachers available. Since the school was denied permission, it has resorted to suspending all minors.

And "resort" is the correct word usage here - the school would lose its accreditation if it increased class sizes of certain courses.
