With the opening of Brown-Lupton University Union and the introduction of Frog Bucks, Pond Street Grill's business could be slow enough to merit its closure, a dining employee said.

Ernest White, supervisor at Pond Street Grill, said he is not sure what the future of Pond Street will be.

"I don't know," White said, "I really don't know. That's out of my hands.

"It's up to the school on what they want to do. I'd really hate to see it go. It's a good place."

We need to discuss an issue which we've all had to deal with recently. We've avoided it as long as we can, but this mockery must to be stopped.

I'm going to come out and say it: Crocs shoes are ugly and worthless. I figured people would have come to this conclusion without an editorial, but my faith in mankind has been shattered. People have obsessed over these monstrosities for so long, they've been brainwashed into believing they are fashionable and trendy. I'm here to break the curse.

TCU: Sophomore Andy Dalton continues to be successful running the Horned Frogs' offense and protecting the ball, in both his passing and rushing. Dalton has accumulated just under 800 yards of total offense through four games this season, 606 yards passing and 184 rushing yards.

Advantage: OU

Scientists have never seen an electron, physicists have never laid eyes on a quark, but they know these things are real because they can look in their microscope and see things happening - things that could not happen if they didn't exist, a rabbi told guests at Ed Landreth Auditorium on Tuesday.

This same theory can also be applied to the existence of God, Rabbi Harold Kushner told guests at the 11th annual Gates of Chai Lectureship.

When I thought of Josh Howard, the first thing that used to come to my mind was a rising star with extreme potential to be one of the best basketball players in the NBA. Recently, however, Howard has been rapidly losing the respect I once had for him. Up until a few months ago I would have said that Howard was one of my favorite basketball players in the NBA, but he has shattered that image by pulling the last straw and insulting something so precious to most Americans: the national anthem.

The men's tennis team will debut Friday at the HEB Baylor Intercollegiate Invitational in Waco.

The focus for the team this season is to improve as a program, said head coach Dave Borelli.

"We have the toughest schedule we have had in seven or eight years. It is going to be a real challenge for us," Borelli said. "You can't get better unless you play the best. Beating a great team makes you a better player. Beating a bad team doesn't make you better."
