The morning frenzies some students encounter on test days could be erased now that 2,500 Scantrons will soon be en route to campus.

Student Government Association Vice President Brett Anderson said the Scantrons were scheduled to arrive in two to three weeks for a free trial in the Mary Couts Burnett Library, a place SGA saw as a convenient location for students. Anderson said the biggest issue for not getting the Scantrons in sooner was a drawn-out ordering process and the inability to communicate with other representatives over the holiday break.

TCU's 2011 football schedule could have been killer, or at least hard to criticize by ESPN's College GameDay crew. Let's take a look at what could have been:

-Big 12 nonconference match-ups against Texas Tech and Baylor.

-Conference slugfests against perennial top 25 teams in BYU and Utah.

-A Fiesta Bowl rematch against a Boise State team that was a field goal chip shot from representing the non-automatic qualifiers in the Rose Bowl over TCU.

Now let's take a look at the scheduling situation on the ground as of January 2011:

The Lady Frogs made two shots in the first half, shooting 9.1 percent, and shot 27.3 percent for the game as TCU dropped its first conference game of the season 65-54 against New Mexico to snap an eight-game winning streak.

"This is maybe the first [game] that I've been thoroughly disgusted with our effort as a team approach," head basketball coach Jeff Mittie said. "I thought our entire group was very individual tonight."

Senior guard Emily Carter and senior guard/forward Helena Sverrisdottir both added nine points, but shot 5-for-20 combined.

It's an unassuming device to say the least. Its small, off-white shell and six buttons portrays a simple, elegant interface that everyone can understand.

This simplicity is making the iClicker more and more popular among professors on campus. From attendance to lectures to quizzes, these little devices are changing the way class is conducted.

Many professors now require students to purchase an iClicker as part of the materials for their classes, which leads to the question, why don't more professors use them?

Privacy buffs may soon have a reason to calm down a few notches about advertisers and corporations tracking their online moves.

Google and Mozilla recently announced they will bring features to their browsers, Chrome and Firefox, respectively, that should prevent advertisers from collecting private data about users and tracking users' actions on the Internet.

Google intends to do this through the use of a browser extension for Chrome named "Keep My Opt-Outs," and Mozilla intends to do this through a planned feature for Firefox.

Facebook seemed to blow up as soon as it went live, becoming a popular site for college students and alumni alike. The original purpose of Facebook was for social networking and keeping in touch 8212; allowing wall posts, pictures and status updates.

It has become so much more, however, and it may be being used by employers to keep tabs on employees. A major reason to maintain subtlety online is because employers could use social networking sites to see who their potential employee really is.

It's not everyday that a former "Top Chef" competitor helps open an awarding-winning restaurant in TCU's backyard. Brownstone Restaurant, located in the new West 7th Street development in Fort Worth,...

The civil case filed by a former student against the university will go to trial May 2 pending additional motions to dismiss, according to a pretrial hearing held Wednesday.

The plaintiff, identified as K.S. in the suit, alleges that TCU fraudulently misrepresented campus safety. Susan Hutchison, one of the plaintiff's attorneys, said the trial would not begin immediately because TCU's defense attorneys had requested extra time to depose an expert on date-rape drugs.

An award-winning trio of Horned Frogs that comprises quarterback Andy Dalton, center Jake Kirkpatrick and wide receiver Jeremy Kerley will play in the 2011 Under Armour Senior Bowl this Saturday.

The Senior Bowl is an annual game that showcases the nation's top senior collegiate players. It is one of the last chances for players to demonstrate their talents before the NFL draft in April.

Nine counties make up the The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and are under what is classified as a non-attainment zone for ozone, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA proposed to move DFW's rating from moderate to serious, where the Metroplex would join six other areas as serious offenders or higher.

Michael Slattery, director of the university's Institute for Environmental Studies, said the downgrade to serious did not surprise him.
