The golf teams will travel to compete in their respective invitational tournaments this weekend.

The men's team will play at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters in Las Vegas. The Frogs finished ninth overall in the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational earlier in the month.

The women's team will compete in the Tiger/Wave Classic in New Orleans. The tournament roster consists of 23 teams, nine of which are currently ranked among the top-20 programs in the nation.

The TCU women's rifle team will host the NCAA Rifle Championships this weekend, as seven other teams from across the country (Alaska-Fairbanks, West Virginia, Kentucky, Army, Navy, Murray State and Nebraska) travel to Fort Worth to determine the best guns in the nation.

The rifle competition consists of two parts: the air rifle shooting and the smallbore. It takes place after an outstanding season by the Horned Frogs, where they only lost one head-to-head event, and earned first in the two major tournaments they entered.

Thank you for bringing attention to the T's proposal to cut back bus service. Fort Worth and TCU need better bus service, not less bus service. TCU students and employees need to oppose this reduction in service on Route 7, which runs by the university. It's bad for everyone! Contact the T at- [email protected] or call 817-215-8669 to voice your concern.

When I read articles like last week's "Neglect of Clean Water Act troubling," by Courtney Baker, it makes me wonder what world some people are living in.

The article makes it seem like pollution is getting worse than it really is and that Americans are suffering from some sort of poisoning epidemic.

I'm going to make a completely bold statement now: not all pollution is bad. Before you almost choke on your all-natural smoothie and go to recycle this paper, let me explain myself.

An outdated Jack in the Box restaurant on West Berry Street was torn down to be completely rebuilt and renovated, a company spokesperson said.

Relatively few students use public transportation on a regular basis, so they may not think the city's proposal to cut in half the number of times the bus travels on Route 7 is a big deal. However, Route...

Senior Ido Farhi said the overcrowded shuttle he rode each morning from the Sandage parking lot to campus was both dangerous and inefficient.

Students cram into the bus, stand in the aisles and hit their heads when the bus goes over a bump, said Farhi, an electrical engineering major. When the bus is full, it leaves many students still waiting for it to return, which takes about 10 minutes, and consequently students arrive late to class, he said.
