TCU Theatre's sold-out presentations of "The Bald Soprano," by Eugene Ionesco, began Thursday and will run until Saturday night."The show is about people letting their lives become empty," director Kevin Long said. "However, it is comedy, so it's not heavy-handed or trying to preach. It is about laughing at ourselves."

Scenic designer and technical director Philip Zielke said he agrees.

Despite the uncertainties of moving into a new conference, H20 Frogs head coach Richard Sybesma said he expects to have a strong season against stronger competition."The Mountain West Conference is a much stronger conference than what we left (Conference USA)," Sybesma said.

We right now are predicted to be third in men and fourth in the women (in the conference swimming polls), and I think we will really surprise some people especially in the women's. We got a really good program in the men's and women's side."

Think of all the things the average college student could buy with that money: It could buy food for almost an entire year in TCU's dining plan, compensate a car payment, be invested in a savings account or help with TCU's pricey tuition.

Or you could invest it in health insurance at TCU.
