The TCU Wellness Center and Recreation Center will organize the TCU Turkey Trot 5k run-walk Friday, a human resources official said. The event stars at 3 p.m at the entrance to the University Recreation Center.

Marilyn Porter, data control coordinator for the office of human resources, said the event should be a hit.

"I'm so excited. It's going to be a hoot," Porter said. "A lot of people won't be able to (finish) it ... but we're hoping we get a lot of donations for the kids."

TCU beat Fresno State at home Wednesday night 63-52 behind three players who scored in double figures, led by junior forward Helena Sverrisdottir's 15-point effort.

The 2-0 Frogs have outscored their opponents 172-82 so far this season, but likely will not have as easy of a time against a Sooners defense that allows 64 points a game. The Oklahoma offense averages 79.5 points per game.

The Fort Worth Police Department has not made any arrests in the search for the suspect in the Oct. 13 sexual assault, Sgt. Chad Mahaffey wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

He said he could not release anymore information because the investigation is ongoing.

TCU Police Sgt. Kelly Ham referred questions to Director of Communications Lisa Albert, who said she had no new information.

Stop me if this sounds familiar. Coming off a huge win, the Frogs go into the mountains. They're playing a team with the reputation of a hard-nosed defense in a loud stadium with only a few diehard Frog fans making the trip. It's freezing and snowing.

TCU doesn't play Air Force this week, but they will see a similar foe in Wyoming. This isn't a warning that Wyoming might beat us. It's a warning that the same results aren't acceptable anymore.

Contrary to findings from an article out earlier this month on SmartMoney.com, applying early to some colleges might not be a sure bet to secure adequate financial aid, a university official said.

Mike Scott, director of scholarships and student financial aid, said while the university did have an early action application deadline in November, decisions from his office on financial aid would not be made until February. He said arrangements for academic scholarships followed the early action deadline and the Dec. 15 deadline for award consideration.

For Fort Worth native Liz Johnston, owner of the eco-friendly wares store The Greener Good, educating the community motivated her to open a retail location to accompany a growing online business, she said. So far, the flagship location, which opened Nov. 11, embodies the "it's all good" attitude that is the company's slogan.

"We really wanted to give (Fort Worth) an opportunity to see that it is in fact worthwhile to use these products," Johnston said. "They are better for the environment, they are better for you and they actually work."

A record number of early action undergraduate admissions applications were submitted for this month, an admissions official said.

Nov. 1 marked the first deadline for prospective students to submit their application for the 2010-2011 school year. This year, the university received 5,705 early action applications. Last year 5,287 applications were received, and in fall 2007, students submitted 5,555 applications.

The high volume of applications could be the result of a number of factors, Ray Brown, dean of admissions, said.
