Brite Divinity School Dean Nancy J. Ramsay said she is not doing what she does simply for the sake of the students at Brite. Ramsay explained that those students only get the benefit: She feels called by God to the work."A call suggests that God calls us to do something that uses our gifts and passions," she said. "I had the sense that my calling could help me keep my faith."

Ramsay, an executive vice president and dean of Brite, is extremely qualified and committed to Brite, said Brite President Newell Williams.

The Horned Frogs were swept out of the Las Vegas Invitational over Thanksgiving weekend with losses to Oklahoma State and Drake, but head coach Neil Dougherty insists the team has a brighter future than its 1-3 start."We don't have a win to show for the weekend, but I think we grew up a lot," Dougherty said. "I don't like the fact that we're losing, but I can see a silver lining in our cloud."

The silver lining may be senior guard Nile Murry, who scored 38 points over the two games and was named to the all-tournament team.

Sodexho employees will now be able to enjoy one of the perks TCU students, faculty and staff often take for granted - the use of TCU identification cards to use Fort Worth transportation for free.As of last week, Sodexho employees who work with TCU Dining Services did not have university IDs.

Chancellor Victor Boschini said he was not aware that the employees did not have IDs.

"I thought everyone had them," Boschini said.

TCU will take a trip to Cancun, Mexico over Thanksgiving Break, but the trip won't be a holiday for the Lady Frogs.They will open play against Mississippi State on Friday in the Caribbean Classic.

Sophomore guard Adrianne Ross said the team knows little about Mississippi State.

"They're in the (Southeastern Conference), and we know we have to give a lot of credit to that conference," Ross said. "We know they will have good guard play, but besides that, we don't know very much yet."

TCU's record-high enrollment and increasing number of faculty members could be causing campus buildings to burst at the seams.Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Nowell Donovan said the problem of limited office space has been "creeping up" on the administration for years but has accelerated in recent years because of the administration's goal to decrease the student-faculty ratio from 15-1 to 13-1.

Donovan said the undergraduate population has increased by 26 percent over the past 15 years.

TCU athletics director Danny Morrison announced Tuesday that head football coach Gary Patterson signed a contract extension to stay at TCU through 2012.The details of the contract were not immediately available.

"We are excited with coach Patterson and with what he's done with the team," Morrison said.

Morrison also announced TCU has accepted a bid to play in the Houston Bowl on Dec. 31. Patterson has led TCU to four bowl games in five years, Morrison said.

Ever since the Frogs beat Nevada-Las Vegas 51-3 in their last regular season football game, every TCU fan has wondered one thing: What bowl game are we going to?As the rumors flew - talk of the Las Vegas Bowl, the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn., the Houston Bowl and even the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., circulated - we all expected an invitation and an announcement any day.
