As the College of Communication continues to work toward developing a sports broadcasting degree, the college's radio station is ahead of the curve.

KTCU FM 88.7 "The Choice" has added a high school football game-of-the-week broadcast to its weekly lineup, said Russell Scott, director of the station. Radio-TV-film students are responsible for the on-air content, Scott said.

"Instead of just going into the classroom and talking about it, now we can give them experience," Scott said.

The show airs Fridays from about 7:15 p.m. to 10 p.m.

It's a bad grade for TCU. The university should have at least deserved a better grade than a D-plus.

According to the 2008 U.S. News & World Report's college rankings, TCU made a D-plus on the 2008 College Sustainability Report Card. How could TCU receive such a bad grade when the school looks eco-friendly with purple bikes and bags and the university's efforts toward building energy efficient buildings?

Food has always been a point of contention between TCU students and the administration. The quality of the food, the variety, the cost, the nutrition-- - all have been argued about countless times, fortunately without any bloodshed.

But I'm not going to waste my time ranting about TCU dining. That's been done. What I am fighting for may seem insignificant to the majority of the university, but it is something that needs to be addressed.

As most students do several times a day, I have to cross University Drive to get to and from classes scattered about campus.

Simple enough in itself, it is made somewhat slower by the heavy "green" traffic on bicycles and the folks who congregate in large blobs and have conversations in the middle of the walkways. I am willing to look past all those distractions so long as I make it to class on time.

After allowing 436 yards of offense to the now-No. 1 Sooners last week, TCU dropped from first to fifth in the nation in overall defense, but after the 41-7 victory against San Diego State, the Horned Frogs have reclaimed the title of the nation's top defense.

The Frogs allowed just 85 total offensive yards to the Aztecs, and the team now allows an average of 208.83 yards per game.

"The defense did what they had to do," head coach Gary Patterson said after Saturday's game. "Our kids were really disappointed that they didn't get the shutout."

You've got mail. And it's not a message warning your mailbox is over its size limit.

The university is currently working on a new system that will increase the size of student e-mail accounts, said Bryan Lucas, executive director of Technology Resources.

Lucas declined to comment on the cost, adding that until the upgrade is fully tested, he does not want to provide details, as they may change.
