Faculty and staff gathered to kickoff the 10-week Frog Legs: TCU 2006 Pedometer Challenge at the University Recreation Center Tuesday.Each participant was fitted with a pedometer, a device that tracks the amount of steps a person takes daily, at the end of the luncheon.

Walkers compete in the challenge in teams, with prizes going to the team that takes the most steps over the 10-week period. The goal of the program is for each participant to take 10,000 steps a day.

Provost Nowell Donovan said the goal of the challenge is to promote better health.

Do you ever find yourself sitting at home watching TV because you are low on cash? It's no secret college-aged adults don't have a lot of spare money lying around, so here are some places where students can still have fun while saving money.

But why can't it just be a day set aside for those in relationships to celebrate their love?

Well, it's February again and that can only mean that Valentine's Day is once again upon us.I don't know about you guys but it's a holiday I could do without. What are we supposed to be celebrating? If you're single, it's just a day to remind you of that fact, and if you're lucky enough to be in a relationship, then it's one more time, other than her birthday and your anniversary, to spend all your money to please her. Dinner and a movie doesn't work for this day; it's all about going in style, and for what?
