The music played during halftime at Saturday's Homecoming football game will reflect the Halloween holiday.

JP Wilson, TCU band drum major and senior music education major, said fans in attendance can expect to hear something different Saturday.

"We're going to play some 'Ghostbusters,' and we're going to play 'Thriller,'" Wilson said.

The performance will feature a Halloween theme and also showcase bits from the band's regular halftime show, he said.

Lisa Albert said she was never expecting a promotion, but that was exactly what she received when she was recently named director of communications in the university's Office of Communications.

The position was vacated by Tracy Syler-Jones earlier this year after she was named vice chancellor for marketing and communication at the university.

Albert said she had always thought of the possibility of moving toward the position of the director, but she was excited to actually receive the opportunity.

Fans have not filled Amon Carter Stadium to the brim since Sep. 16, 2006 when the Horned Frogs beat Texas Tech 12-3.

On Tuesday, head coach Gary Patterson called for the TCU community to support his team as it worked toward an undefeated season.

"It's not all on the shoulders of the team," Patterson said. "(Fans) need to get themselves out. It needs to be a loud crowd ... There needs to be a home-field advantage."

After three straight losses, the Horned Frog soccer team secured a dramatic overtime win against the University of Nevada, Las Vegas last Friday. This week, the Horned Frogs will be fighting for a win at home in their last home match of the season against the San Diego State University Aztecs.

Junior forward Jackie Torda was named Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week after her game-winning goal in the Horned Frogs' 3-2 victory over UNLV.

Residential Services is no more - by name anyway.

Heather Miller, associate director of Residential Services, said the department has changed its name to Housing and Residence Life in order to make it easier for students to understand the purpose of the office.

"People always called us housing anyway," Miller said. "We felt it was a little more representative of what we actually did."

The passage of time has provided many concrete examples of the perils of journalism. Within the past year there have been plenty of kidnappings throughout the Middle East and few releases. However, a new issue has burst onto the scene recently: that of the jurisdiction of these countries in arresting journalists and reporters whom they view as protestors or directly threatening to the political system.

When Jonathan Bornstein scored the most amazing header of his life in the fifth minute of stoppage time during the USA/Costa Rica game Oct. 14, I jumped, screamed, yelled and celebrated idiotically, like I'm sure every other U.S. soccer fan did at that moment. The goal led to the U.S. tying Costa Rica 2-2 and was a huge boost for the U.S. after being down nearly the whole game. Moments like these give me hope. They make me want to believe in the U.S. soccer program and have faith that we might actually be able to compete on a world stage next summer with the best teams in the world.
