Andrew Sword said he resigned from his position as a resident assistant in King and Wright Hall when complications arose with his hall director after his girlfriend was not able to move into the same building. He said he was transferred to a different hall and then quit because he felt like an outsider in a completely different environment.

"I had seen other RAs get away with it in the past, and I was being upfront and honest about it and just looking for some help." Sword said. "I felt like I was a valuable part of the team there and a valuable part of the staff."

Members of the TCU baseball team look out for one another like brothers 8212; just ask junior pitcher Kaleb Merck. Friday night was no exception.

Merck has had a rough year by nearly any pitcher's standards. In September, he suffered a season-ending injury to his pitching arm. On Sept. 24, he underwent Tommy John surgery to repair his arm and will not pitch this season.

Merck also recently found out his mother, Kathy Merck, had been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. She was first diagnosed in October 2000, and was cancer-free until early this year.

I remember movies with scores of people driving hover cars, wearing aluminum foil like it's the only material left to make clothing, and using an electronic voice activator for just about everything, from toothpaste to opening their front doors.

This world has been crafted and envisioned for decades by curious minds who wonder what the future might hold. Although we are not all wearing space boots, our technological advancements are much closer to our perception of "the future" than we care to realize.

The TCU rifle team finished their 2010-11 season with a 4,699-4,620 win over Air Force in the NCAA Qualifier Saturday.

Through the win, the Frogs set school records for aggregate score as well as in smallbore, where they posted a mark of 2,332.

Freshman Catherine Green led the Frogs in smallbore competition, shooting a personal best 586, including a perfect 100 in the final round.

TCU dropped its eighth-straight game to Wyoming Saturday, 77-67, at the Cowboys' Arena-Auditorium.

The loss dropped the Frogs to 10-16 overall this season and 1-10 in Mountain West Conference play. Wyoming improved to 9-16 overall and 2-9 in the MWC while ending an eight-game losing streak.

Junior forward J.R. Cadot led the Frogs with 16 points, his top scoring total in conference play this season. He went 6-of-8 from the floor and 4-of-5 from the free throw line.

One of the best lessons I learned in elementary school was from a seemingly silly class project on Valentine's Day. At the beginning of February, my first grade teacher had us all bring empty paper towel rolls and Kleenex boxes to school. Then there was a mass of creativity as we used the trash to design beautiful castles and space ships, using colorful tissue paper to give color to our cardboard turrets and rockets.
