When senior Michael Jenkins started his summer vacation, he did not know how to pay for his last year of college. Two days before classes started, the government informed him that it picked up the bill.

Jenkins, a kinesiology major and Navy veteran, said he applied for the post-9/11 GI Bill in May because his old GI Bill ran out. About 16 weeks after he applied, a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs officer informed him that he qualified for 100 percent of the new bill's benefits.

We are concluding the eighth week of classes for the Fall semester.

Fall break blessed us with a short three-day week, the football team has yet to do anything less than impress and the first round of tests are only memories. Whether it affects those with graduate school only a year away, those only months out of high school or anyone in between, the same schedule and inexorable pile of homework can leave many in a state of ennui.

After suffering a 2-1 overtime loss against Wyoming last week, the Horned Frogs will be fighting for a win in Provo, Utah on Saturday against BYU.

BYU is currently ranked No. 11 in TopDrawerSoccer.com's weekly poll and brought a nine-game winning streak to the match against New Mexico on Thursday.

BYU has recorded seven shutouts this season, as well as beating both Utah and UNLV. The Cougars carry an 11-2-2 overall record and a 2-0-1 conference play record.

Frogs should blow past Rams despite good start

TCU's final test in conference, this side of BYU, comes to Fort Worth this weekend in a trail of green and gold. A traditionally bad Colorado State team has put together a fairly good season this year with three non-conference wins, including an upset over in-state rival, the University of Colorado.

In a terrible weather game last year, the Frogs narrowly beat the Rams 13-7.

Technology resources implemented two new services on Oct. 1 to help improve customer satisfaction and service, a technology resources spokeswoman said.

The new self-service allows students and faculty to create a service request ticket for any technology problems online through my.tcu.edu, said Lenelda Pennington, associate director of technology resources customer services. Once a ticket is entered into the system, it will be added to other pending tickets and answered by the Computer Help Desk, Pennington said.

Katie-Rose Watson, a junior German major, might have been saved some legal trouble if she had known about the free legal service offered to all students by the Student Government Association. After being run over by a car on Stadium Drive in November, Watson felt she had nowhere to turn for legal advice.

"I rolled on top of the car's windshield and the car didn't even stop," Watson said. "When I got back from the hospital, I didn't know who to contact or what to do. I wish I would have known that there was free legal advice available at TCU."

Campus police will increase security at night following the campus sexual assault of a female student Tuesday, according to a campuswide e-mail sent by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Don Mills on Wednesday.

TCU Police Lt. Abad Ramiro said the increased security would last as long as university officials think it is needed and could result in some officers being asked to work overtime.

"This is something that's a high-priority-type deal," Ramiro said. "It's just about the safety of the students."
