If you think about it, being a Horned Frog is like a disease.No one was catching Horned Frog fever until our football team embarrassed Oklahoma this past weekend. The bandwagon is just waiting for thousands to pile on.

I've been on this wagon for so many years now that I no longer see any color but purple. Some may call it cataracts, but to me it's purple- tinted glasses.

Like a cold, it may not catch immediately, but before you know it, everyone has it. I even spread the virus to my cats!

After splitting from the main campus, one department enjoys living on the outskirts.Interior design and fashion merchandising students have more elbow room after moving from tight spaces in the Bass Building to spacious facilities on Berry Street.

For some students and faculty, the department's new location, which is south of the TCU Police station, is a longer walk, but students and faculty say the walk is worth it.

Among all the heartbreaking stories unearthed by Hurricane Katrina, one man's tale summed it up for me. He's the personification of the hurricane as far as I'm concerned.Harvey Jackson and his family were waiting out the storm in Biloxi, Miss., when the hurricane split their house in two.

With Mother Nature's most powerful force, winds lifted his wife, Tonette, toward the heavens.

I am a Dillard University Blue Devil at heart, but I can honestly say I feel totally isolated and abandoned by my school.Having experienced such a catastrophic event like Hurricane Katrina, I am reminded daily of the new direction my life is headed.

Dillard University is historically a black university that holds the reputation of providing a rich and cultural foundation for its students. The problem is that my fellow Blue Devils and I were left with no evacuation routes or options to further our education.

Shocked, pumped, overjoyed, proud, excited and amazed.These are some of the words used by TCU band members, fans and cheerleaders after Saturday's season opener at Oklahoma.

Not everyone is a huge football fan, but you would never have been able to tell at this game, band president John Parker said.

Parker, a junior entrepreneurial management major, said he was surprised at how the TCU crowd was separated and put up high in the Oklahoma stadium seats.

The Will Rogers Coliseum, which has been turned into a shelter for those displaced by Hurricane Katrina, is now home to more than 375 evacuees from New Orleans. Most of the shelter's residents arrived Saturday, and an additional 20 buses are scheduled to arrive in the Dallas/Fort Worth area soon, said Human Services Manager Sofia Singleton.

The shelter is prepared to house evacuees long-term, Singleton said. Medical care, counseling, phone services, clothing and other necessities are available on site to residents, she said.
