Men’s basketball falls to San Diego State 68-51

Published Feb 17, 2010

As the basketball season begins to fade away, so too has TCU's chance at Mountain West Conference respectability.

The Horned Frogs (12-15, 4-8 MWC) were never really in contention from the start of Tuesday's game, down by double digits for most of the contest on the way to a 68-51 loss to San Diego State (19-7, 8-4).



With the loss, the Frogs have virtually assured themselves of a fifth-straight sub-.500 finish, considering their last four games of the season come against conference foes with winning records, including No. 12 New Mexico and No. 16 BYU.

Erin House, a Froggie Five-O dispatcher, said the service's student-run staff has classes to keep up with, and when student workers leave, the same services are provided by security guards. She said she wished the author of the SGA resolution would have sought the opinions of Froggie staff before proceeding with the legislation.

Good parenting walks a fine line

Published Feb 16, 2010

Parenting is an enduring paradox of humankind. It's considered negative if a parent lives vicariously through his or her child, but an uninvolved parent is also frowned upon.

Ideal parenting in the U.S. features a middle ground between two styles: crazed controlling and easy-going empowering. Crazed controlling parents often pressure their children to the point of social awkwardness and an inability to fail. Easy-going empowering parents encourage their children to a fault, which leads to overt self-centeredness.
