I have loved school since day one, when my parents took me to Kindergarten. I described it as a "magic land," while looking at the room full of toys and little people like me. From classes and student organizations to SGA-coordinated events and concerts, school always remains a young and vibrant community where I can learn and grow.

College is a place to prepare for your future. It is supposed to give you an outlook on your chosen career. If you are passionate about your particular major, then building the foundation should be fun, not tiresome.

The Lady Frogs saw a strong early performance sour Wednesday night when they blew a large second-half lead to No. 20 Brigham Young University, whose timely shooting boosted them to a late 67-64 victory at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.The biggest discrepancy of the night laid in long-range shooting; BYU made seven more three-pointers than the Frogs, and shot 41 percent from the arc. Senior forward Ambrosia Anderson -- who went 6 of 10 from deep - hit two three-pointers in the last five minutes of the game to push the late-forming Cougar lead to eight.

Many young playwrights dream of having their names in lights, but for one student, the dream has become a reality. "I didn't know what to think. I was really excited," said Hillary Benefiel, a sophomore English major. "I didn't expect to hear back from them after I submitted my play."

Benefiel's one-act play, "Invincible," is being produced by the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. The San Antonio native, is the first TCU student to receive such an honor selected by a panel of judges.

The 2006 student-body officers were inaugurated Tuesday night in the Kelly Alumni Center at the 92nd annual SGA Officer Inauguration.About 100 people were in attendance to see student body officers, and members of the House of Representatives, Programing Council and Judicial Board sworn in by Chief Justice Neal M. Jackson.

Former President Dave Watson said the inauguration symbolizes a leadership journey for the upcoming year.

A TCU alumna and her husband left positions in the corporate world to open The Wine Frog, an importer and distributor of small-label wines.Natalie and Jacques de La Giraudi‚re said they opened The Wine Frog over two years ago because they wanted freedom and independence in a business.

"We were ready to risk everything to have something of our own," Natalie de La Giraudi‚re said.

She said the name Wine Frog is derived from the derogative term "French frog" and is also a "wink to the local mascot."

The Lady Frogs (10-6, 4-1) will look to improve their losing record against ranked teams tonight when they play No. 20 BYU (15-1, 4-0) at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.TCU, which was outscored 391-282 in its five losses to top 25 teams this season, got its only win over a ranked opponent on Jan. 11 against then-No. 18 New Mexico. That victory marked the first in the four-game winning streak the Lady Frogs will look to extend tonight.

Head coach Jeff Mittie said BYU is not only a complete team, but an efficient one as well.

For TCU students, destroying the environment and trashing valuable resources isn't merely a bad habit - it's a way of life.But how can one blame them when the university itself fails to implement a successful recycling program, or at the very least, make students aware that recycling actually does exist on campus?

It is perplexing to realize that this campus is the same one that, in 1990, won a Clean Cities "Good Neighbor" Award for recycling, according to a recent Skiff article. Now the university doesn't even come close to such a standing.
