TCU also hosted Air Force yesterday at home, defeating the Falcons for their 22nd-straight win, 4,660-4,641. Sophomore Sarah Scherer tied a school record with a 596 in air rifle and junior Mattie Brogdon set a personal-best with a 592 in air rifle.

As a college student, my No. 1 reason to purchase anything is price. The last thing any college student wants is unnecessary expenses.

News has always been something I have gotten for free. The Daily Skiff is accessible in almost any building on campus for free. Surrounding community papers and even national newspapers like, USA Today, are available in some buildings on campus for free. The easiest and most accessible form of gathering news is from sources online, and it is also free.

Texas Rangers third baseman Michael Young released an official statement Monday night regarding the recent trade rumors surrounding him.

The 34-year-old is "sick" of the ongoing rumors and the constant back and forth attitude of the Rangers front office. He simply wants respect and he feels he will get it elsewhere.

The Sid W. Richardson Building was briefly evacuated Tuesday morning because of the odor of natural gas moving throughout the building, a campus police officer said.

TCU Police Lt. Ramiro Abad said workers were refilling equipment with propane when some of the gas was sucked into the air and released in the building.

The equipment was being used for cleanup efforts after a pipe burst and flooded the basement Thursday, Abad said.

Evacuation of the building was a customary precaution, and students were never in immediate danger, Abad said.

A new bill was passed Tuesday night by the House of Student Representatives to revise the election fine assignment process of the Elections and Regulations Committee.

Lizzy Caudill, the Elections and Regulations Committee Chair and representative of the class of 2011, said the new system would set election violations and fine amounts before the campaign filing period began. Specific fine amounts of violations would be kept confidential with the Elections and Regulations Committee, she said.

Is college worth it? It depends. From a purely financial point of view, a college degree trumps a mere high school diploma without a doubt. In early 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the average...
