Freshmen will have more options next school year thanks to changes to the Freshman Interest Groups on campus, a university official said.

Additions to Freshman Interest Groups, residence hall communities based on specific themes, include the addition of a Creativity and Performing Arts group, which targets students who have an interest in the arts, from music to drama, and Pre-Health, which focuses on the medical field, said Heather Miller, assistant director of Residential Services.

Last September, when he was running for office, President Barack Obama made a promise that families making under $250,000 wouldn't see a tax increase of any kind.

Now Congress and the White House are using a new tax on cigarettes and tobacco products to balance federal spending, but even in spite of the good intentions of the tax to dissuade users from smoking, the timing puts unnecessary financial pressure on those who can't kick the habit.

Carrying on the tradition of using their talents to give back to the community, Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma teamed up to play a benefit concert for the family of a sick child in Birdville this month.

The concert was the culmination of a week-long fundraising campaign to benefit Angel, the 3-year-old son of Francisco Menjivar, a janitor at Birdville High School.

Angel was born with an esophageal hernia that required an operation to repair. The surgery, completed in November, was successful, but left the family with a financial hardship.

The women's soccer team closed out its spring schedule in exciting fashion with a 4-4 tie against the Texas Tech University Red Raiders at Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium on Saturday night.

The Horned Frogs jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a pair of goals from freshman forward Jordan Calhoun and freshman defender Kaitlyn Shelledy.

After a sluggish start, Texas Tech responded with three unanswered goals, including one with a minute remaining in the first half. The Red Raiders led 3-2 with just under 20 minutes left to play in the game.

The Horned Frog hitters ate their Wheaties Sunday morning.

Five sluggers belted home runs, including two grand slams in the fifth inning, in a 19-3 rout of New Mexico with the wind blowing straight out at Lupton Stadium on Sunday afternoon. TCU (19-9, 6-3 MWC) completed a weekend sweep of the Lobos (25-8, 5-4 MWC) to leapfrog New Mexico and move into a tie for first with San Diego State atop the conference standings.

Mostly donning sweaters and jackets, about 600 children raced on Sadler Lawn on Sunday to collect sweet treats during the 15th Annual TCU Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the TCU Young Alumni Chapter.

For the second game in the row, drama in the eighth inning and a late TCU rally helped push the No. 22 Horned Frogs past the 18th-ranked New Mexico Lobos Friday night at Lupton stadium.

Sophomore RHP Steven Maxwell got the start for TCU, pitching five innings and allowing two earned runs on four hits. Tyler Lockwood got the win in relief, throwing 52 pitches in four inning and allowing only one earned run.
