Profile: Freshman Meagan Henson

Published Jan 19, 2011

Freshman Meagan Henson claims she's been the shortest player on every basketball team she's ever been on. The shortest in YMCA, the shortest in middle and high school, the shortest on Amateur Athletic Union teams and now, naturally, shortest in college. But the Lady Frogs' reserve point guard hasn't allowed her roughly five-foot frame to slow her down yet 8212; Henson fights size with speed.

Lady Frogs sneak past BYU, 54-51

Published Jan 19, 2011

TCU (13-6, 5-0 MWC) won its seventh game in a row in a nail-biter over BYU (11-7, 3-1 MWC) at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum Wednesday night, 54-51.

With the shot clock winding down, freshman guard Briesha Wynn had nowhere to go and threw up a prayer.

The shot banked in off the glass and gave TCU a crucial four-point lead with 1:11 remaining in the game.

It was that kind of night for the Lady Frogs - ugly, but rewarding nonetheless.

In a society where change and progress are valued, removing offensive terms allows for a more comfortable read.

In classes, students learn equality alongside peers of every race and background. However, confusion swirls when the teacher assigns an highly praised and beloved book for the class and students find racial slurs embedded throughout the text.

Career Services gives students just what they need

Published Jan 19, 2011

The university boasts exceptional resources for students, and Career Services' push to make advising more personalized falls right into line.

Having an adviser for each of the university's colleges is a great idea. Students will now know exactly where to go if they have questions about résumés, job interviews or entering the professional field. Those things are often stressful enough for students without having to navigate multiple offices to find who they need to talk to for answers to their questions.

The Health Center will offer free flu vaccinations to all students until March, she said.
