It takes a fat penguin to break the ice.

That's the first step to finding love, said David Coleman, the "Dating Doctor" and inspiration for the movie "Hitch." And for some of the nearly 1,000 students who came to hear him speak Monday night at the Brown-Lupton University Union ballroom, that was appropriate advice only five days before Valentine's Day.

"He said to just be open and up front," said Samantha Meade, a sophomore early childhood education major. "You can break the ice so you don't have to wait for the guy to make all the moves."

Unofficial rule No. 76 for freshman girls at TCU: Book the Robert Carr Chapel now, even if you are not engaged. Finding the groom is the easy part.

The ongoing joke at freshman orientation depicts the mother of a TCU student booking the chapel even before her daughter is engaged. Some truth lies in this joke.

The booking office at the chapel fields 20 calls per day on average regarding booking for upcoming weddings, said Kristi Ingram, booking agent and wedding coordinator for the chapel.

The No. 21 women's tennis team pulled away late with a tight 4-3 win over Auburn University on Sunday at Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

With the win, the team's spring record now stands at 3-2. It was the team's second consecutive win over a top-25 opponent.

The highlight of the day was a match between TCU junior Nina Munch-Soegaard, the No. 12 player in the country, and Auburn junior Fani Chifchieva, the No. 6 player in the country.

The track and field team has high expectations this year, the team's head coach said.

With the recent election of President Barack Obama, it is evident that America is ready for a change. Next year's Texas gubernatorial election should prove to be no exception to the political revolution.

Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, recently launched an exploratory committee to examine the possibility of her running for the state's highest office.

An article in Texas Monthly pointed out "Republicans who want change aren't going to look for it from a governor who will have been in office for more than nine years on primary day."

Angie Ravaioli-Larkin is in her 15th season as head coach of the women's golf team. Success has come frequently for teams under her guidance, and she said she hopes that trend will continue as the team moves forward this spring.

"We set really high goals," Ravaioli-Larkin said. "We go in every tournament with the goal of winning. We really have the depth this year and the talent to really take it deep."

After a three-month break, the golf team gets rolling again with a tournament in Puerto Rico starting Sunday.
