A recent university graduate will return to campus tonight to tell students of the Neeley School of Business his secrets to financial success at an early age.

Abe Issa, president and CEO of Abe Issa Real Estate, will speak at 5 p.m. as part of Neeley Week, which is a week-long event that includes speakers and fundraisers.

Issa said he hopes to motivate Neeley students.

"I'll talk about what it took for me to get where and what kind of work I had to do in real estate," Issa said. "I had to be the best at what I was doing."

The Horned Frog football team made its highest debut in the BCS standings in school history Sunday, finding itself at No. 8 when the rankings were released.

The No. 8 ranking plus a date with the No. 16 BYU Cougars (6-1) on Saturday will put the Frogs in an unfamiliar position: the national spotlight. ESPN's College GameDay program will broadcast from the campus of BYU in Provo, Utah on Saturday.

The Cougars' lone loss came at home when they dropped a 54-28 contest to Florida State.

Joe Chow, the mayor of Addison and executive chef and owner of Dallas' four star Chinese restaurant May Dragon, gave a Taiwanese cooking demonstration in the Brown-Lupton University Union auditorium Sunday.

Chow, who credits himself with inventing the sesame chicken dish, demonstrated how to make his original entree as well as a lettuce wrap with shrimp. Chow said he invented his sesame chicken dish in 1986.

Pirates, Ghostbusters, vampires and Freddy Krueger are the names of common Halloween costumes you might see on the men's aisle. For women, the pirate becomes "sexy pirate," the witch transforms into "glamorous witch" (glamorous meaning "with less clothing") and even Freddy Krueger morphs into the sexy "Ms. Krueger" (complete with strategically placed claw slashes). For those of us not interested in the "sexy" look, finding a Halloween costume is really just an exercise in attempting to find an outfit that doesn't make us look like playmates.

The campus bookstore sold more than 220 copies of the book "What Difference Do it Make?" on Monday afternoon when authors Denver Moore and Ron Hall, an alumnus, held a signing for the newly released title,...

Junior quarterback Andy Dalton completed four passes of more than 20 yards in a wide open Horned Frog offense, as TCU defeated Colorado State 44-6 Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

Dalton broke the 200 yard passing barrier for the third time this season, which included touchdown passes of 47 and 39 yards to junior wide receiver Curtis Clay and freshman running back Ed Wesley. Dalton also ran the ball six times for 42 yards.

When Blake Schlueter graduated, Horned Frog fans worried that his replacement would not be as successful. But senior Jake Kirkpatrick filled the void and more. All it took was one year of high school football.

Kirkpatrick said he transferred to Robert E. Lee High School in Tyler his senior year because his private school growing up did not have a football team.

"My parents weren't too happy about it," Kirkpatrick said. "They didn't think it was a good idea."

The No. 8 ranked Horned Frog football team will continue its quest to bust the BCS on Saturday when the Colorado State Rams come to Fort Worth.

TCU is 5-0, its best start since 2003, and coming off a 20-17 win in below-freezing temperatures at the Air Force Academy last Saturday. Colorado State started the season 3-0, but has dropped three straight games, including Saturday's 24-17 loss to Utah.
