It's hard enough playing major college football while tackling a normal course load. But try factoring in majors in accounting, finance and management and keeping a 3.0 GPA - plus maintaining a girlfriend.Senior defensive end Jamison Newby is able to do all of those things and isn't the only player who juggles a busy schedule and the demands of football.

"You just have to learn how to manage your time," Newby said, "and learn when you can do things and when you can't."

Half a semester into the experience of a college student and finally my woes of being a commuter are about to burst. For the sake of not knowing where to start, I'll just start at the beginning of my day - three hours before class starts and at least one hour earlier than my classmates. What does this mean for me? An additional, and dreadful, 60 minutes alone to contemplate my thoughts as I get ready for school.

The three disqualified Ms. TCU candidates are back on the ballot as of Tuesday night. The Student Government Association's Judicial Board decided to reinstate Katie Williams, Liz Hamner and Jill Rutherford as Ms. TCU candidates because the rule they were disqualified for is too ambiguous to enforce in a fair and judicial manner, said Chief Justice Neal Jackson.

At my first TCU Homecoming, I didn't even realize we had a Mr. and Ms. TCU. After years of high school homecomings, this was a relief. Instead of selecting a queen and king, which implies royalty as well as popularity, we have Mr. and Ms. TCU - students who represent the ideal college student through contributions and involvement in the university and community. But the best part was that I didn't even know there was a competition.

The sky is the limit at KTCU 88.7 FM The Choice as the station seeks to replace the outdated logo with something a little more hip, said the station manager for The Choice.Russell Scott, KTCU's station manager, said the station is holding a contest open to all listeners, but said he wants the logo contest to appeal to students in particular.
