The role of media will always be a major factor in the country, no matter how it is delivered, Bob Schieffer said during the annual Schieffer Symposium on Wednesday night."Accurate, independently gathered...

After ending their five-game homestand with a 2-4 loss against the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners, the TCU Horned Frogs travel to Houston this weekend for a three-game series with the Cougars (13-14 on the season). After a hot start to the season, the Frogs (20-7, 5-2 in Mountain West Conference play) have cooled down quite a bit.

Ranked as high as No. 4 in some polls, TCU has fallen now to No. 11 in the national rankings.

After watching Barcelona's Lionel Messi single-handedly (footedly?) destroy my beloved Arsenals' chances of advancing in the UEFA Champions League by scoring four goals Tuesday night, comparisons to the greatest Argentinean player, Diego Maradona, began running through my head.

There have probably been plenty of debates already about who is better, so I figured I would throw my hat in the ring and compare Messi and Maradona.

The men's tennis team has quite a challenge ahead of it this week. The No. 66-ranked Horned Frogs will square off with two Mountain West Conference rivals, hosting the Utah Utes on Thursday and the Brigham Young Cougars on Saturday.

The Horned Frogs are 7-8 in match play on the season, 1-1 in conference and are looking to put together a significant string of wins, a feat they have yet to accomplish this semester. They are coming off a tough 4-3 loss against San Diego State on Sunday.

While some were getting some sun on the beach during spring break, Erykah Badu was getting what many might consider too much sun on a famous Dallas street.

For the "Window Seat" music video, Badu walked through Dealey Plaza, the site of President John F. Kennedy's assassination, while removing her clothing, piece by piece, before she fell completely bare on the very spot where Kennedy was shot.

The TCU Horned Frogs faced one of the biggest challenges of the season on Tuesday night as the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners came to Lupton Stadium for a one game series. The Horned Frogs came into the game after winning a hard series against Sand Diego State, taking two of three from the Aztecs. The Sooners gave up a three game sweep to Texas this weekend, and were looking to break their losing streak on Tuesday. Oklahoma took the game 4-2.

The TCU club lacrosse team huddles under the stadium lights at Fort Worth Country Day High School after a 19-6 win over the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. The players are bruised, panting and sweaty as they come together, but they are jumping and screaming with excitement. After the players breaks for the night, they gather smelly bags full of pads and equipment and head to Buffalo Bros., a local restaurant. They spend hours laughing, eating and celebrating their win - and their sport.

But it wasn't always that way.

It requires the athletic endurance of soccer, the passing skills of football and the quick-paced offense-defense turnover of basketball. Players sprint past opponents, cutting in and out as they zigzag their way toward the goal, the light plastic disc constantly sailing on the air between them. They fervently chase after the disc and sacrifice their bodies as they dive into the ground for a stray pass while dodging opponents.

Students from the John V. Roach Honors College will have seats in the House of Student Representatives for the first time following the student government elections on April 20.

The four new Honors College seats were added as part of the House's annual appropriation of delegates to different colleges. The resolution was one of four pieces of legislation discussed in the House meeting Tuesday night.

Some of you out there may be looking for an internship this summer to improve your resume. Hopefully, you'll get paid to do it, but if you don't, at least you will get some experience under your belt.

According to an article in The New York Times, some states and the federal government feel it is their responsibility to make sure you are not taken advantage of. Now, the U.S. Department of Labor is going to start cracking down on firms that may violate rules of unpaid internships.

When two university students founded the TCU Energy Club in March 2008, they never envisioned the group would grow to include hundreds of members and have access to leaders in the industry.

Justin LaPoten, a junior finance major and energy in technology and management minor, said that since the club started two years ago with about eight members, it has experienced tremendous growth, thanks to its relationship with the TCU Energy Institute. There are currently more than 350 students who pay $50 a semester to participate in the club, LaPoten said.

Following a pair of e-mail hacking attempts in January and February, knowledge of possible scamming tactics could help prevent students from becoming bait for online phishers, a representative for Information Security Services said.

University Technology Resources detected the phishing attacks on faculty, staff and students via the university e-mail system within two months of one another, said Barbara McClellan, an information security engineer. The close timing of these attacks means students should be more aware of how to prevent this problem, she said.
