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.

After finishing in the top 12 in Saturday's Miss America Pageant, senior broadcast journalism major Ashley Melnick said she now plans to return to classes in the fall.

Ashley made it to the evening wear portion of the pageant but was eliminated just before the talent segment. Although Ashley did not win the Miss America title, her mother, Terri Melnick, said Ashley gave it her all.

"She went there prepared, and she did the best that she could do and there are no regrets," Terri Melnick said.

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.

Thanks to the Institute on Women and Gender, senior Catelyn Gray traveled to Uganda for free last summer.

Gray was awarded a travel grant worth $500 from TCU's Institute on Women and Gender and Women's Studies Program.

Again this semester, the IWG Chair of the Women's Studies Student Awards Committee, Karen Steele, said all full-time students from all majors were eligible for the awards.

"These awards were made available through an anonymous donor," Steele said. Students could be awarded up to $500.

About 170 students followed the slogan of this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Day and decided to "Make it a day on, not a day off."

Melissa Gruver, community engagement coordinator, said that compared to its first year, the amount of service sites and students willing to serve doubled.

Almost 200 students volunteered at 10 different service sites in Tarrant County, Gruver said.
