Life experiences can be used in a variety of ways. A negative life experience can become a stepping stone for motivation to change. A positive life experience can assist in directing one's next endeavor.

Life experiences often result in change for the good 8212; when in the right hands, that is.

Brigitte Gabriel, an individual known for her activism against radical Islam, has decided to use her past life experiences, which were negative, to form generalizations.

After receiving the necessary permit from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, TCU will be able to house two live horned frogs on campus after it finalizes designs for their habitat, Student Body President Jackie Wheeler said.

Preston Patry, a senior political science major, said by having the horned frogs on campus, students could see what a real horned frog looks like and show support for the university.

"I'm pretty proud to be a Horned Frog and would love to have [them] on campus," Patry said.

Tyler Clementi killed himself by jumping off the 213-foot tall George Washington Bridge. Clementi's heterosexual roommate at Rutgers University had been secretly broadcasting Clementi's homosexual encounters in their dorm room.

On Sept. 21, Clementi's roommate Dharun Ravi posted, "Anyone with iChat, I dare you to video chat me between the hours of 9:30 and 12. Yes it's happening again," according to an abcnews.com article. In this instance, gender-neutral housing may have spared Tyler Clementi's life.

Most everyone at TCU remembers learning about Froggie Five-0 while touring campus. Moms nodded in approval as a guide explained how the service would keep their daughters safe when walking across campus at night. The boys grumbled in the back as they were told that the service is only available to female students but that they are welcome to apply to be drivers.

Somewhere along the lines, that translated into: "Only girls can use Froggie, and only boys can be drivers."

To set the record straight, anyone can drive for Froggie, but only female students can ride.

Defense rarely plays as large a part in a baseball game, as was the case Tuesday night as the No. 7 TCU Horned Frogs took out the UT-Arlington Mavericks, 7-3.

TCU's offense exploded early in the game to cushion the Frogs' lead, 4-1. Junior shortstop Taylor Featherston scored three runs while driving in two. His home run to center field confirmed that the new regulation NCAA bats weren't the root cause for the previous Frogs' hitting slump after TCU tallied 45 hits at Texas Tech over the weekend.

TCU alumnus Tim Halperin competed in this season of "American Idol" until getting voted off Thursday, March 4.

Now, one week later, Halperin said he is excited about the next chapter in his career, beginning with a return to Fort Worth.

Halperin, who graduated this past May, has been playing music since high school, but said he really became serious about pursuing his career as a singer-songwriter after enrolling at TCU in 2006.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day period that symbolizes the time Jesus Christ spent in the desert. Lent is also a time for individuals to refocus their dedication, Associate Chaplain of Religious and Spiritual Life Jake Hofmeister said.

Amanda Oleksy, a sophomore early childhood education major, said she is one of several TCU students who will participate in Lent and give up something that is important to her.
