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.

Producing a new version of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" that replaces the "N-word" with the word "slave" allows the book to continue to reach into the lives of generations to come.

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 becomes

Published Jan 19, 2011

New specialized career advisors will begin working with students on a more personal level within Career Services, rather than providing only general assistance to students.

Assistant director Terrence Hood said Career Services will be assigning a career adviser to each college and will ultimately establish more specified services for all majors. The initiative has been building up momentum since its beginning in November through efforts to gain the support of the deans of the colleges, he said.

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.

"Right now is when the flu peaks, and then it dies down around March when spring comes," Simpson said.
