I find the conclusion of Friday's piece titled "U.N. fails to live up to mission" by Alex Turner troubling.

This was not only for its narrow standards on which U.N. success was measured (namely, failing to prevent atrocities comparable to those that occurred in WWII), but also the lack of consideration for a myriad of other U.N. accomplishments that are more indicative of its success.

The women's basketball team extended their winning streak to five games by beating the University of Wyoming Cowgirls 60-47 Saturday night at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

The team kept the Cowgirls scoreless for the first five minutes, jumping out to an early 9-0 lead.

The Lady Frogs took advantage of Wyoming turnovers throughout the game, scoring a total of 16 points off of Cowgirl turnovers. Wyoming scored 10 points off of eight TCU turnovers.

Frogs officially add Clemson to schedule

Rumors late last week proved true Friday when the Frogs announced they have completed their non-conference schedule by adding a Sept. 26 game against Clemson University.

The Frogs now have two road games against Atlantic Coast Conference foes next season. The team will play the University of Virginia two weeks earlier on Sept. 12.

TCU and Clemson last met in the first-ever Bluebonnet Bowl in 1959 when the Tigers topped the Frogs 23-7.

Coming off a season-opening series win against a highly ranked Cal State Fullerton team over the weekend, the Horned Frog baseball team will continue its season tonight against Dallas Baptist University.

Facing the prospect President Hugo Chavez's final elected term in office, the Venezuelan people voted to approve a referendum that gave the leader the opportunity to rule their country for life.
