TCU defeated Tennessee Tech 62-7 Saturday despite the many mistakes the Horned Frogs made on the field, TCU head coach Gary Patterson said.

"We made too many mistakes," Patterson said. "It doesn't matter what the score is."

TCU gave up many key plays due to penalties during the game, losing 75 yards in penalties alone to Tennessee Tech.

Quarterback Andy Dalton said, "It seemed like there were four penalties back to back to back...that just hurt us and we can't have penalties to stop a drive."

The successful relationships between individual students and faculty members are responsible for the university's recent awards and recognitions, Chancellor Victor Boschini told students and faculty at the University Convocation and Founders' Celebration Thursday.

For the first time ever, the university was ranked as a top 20 "Up-and-Coming National University" in a U.S. News & World Report list, he said. In addition, the university has repeatedly been acknowledged as a top 100 University in the magazine's Best Colleges list, moving up 11 slots from last year, he said.

As Greek life picks up at the start of the fall semester, the new director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Shannon Sumerlin wants to turn plans into action.

The university hired Sumerlin in May to supervise the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, the two governing bodies that oversee fraternities and sororities on campus.

Mike Russel, executive director for Student Affairs Administration, wrote in an e-mail that Sumerlin met all and exceeded most of the qualifications for the position.

Sumerlin said that getting hired at TCU was a good fit for her.

It certainly does not take a person of extraordinary intellectual capability to notice that having an International Burn the Koran Day on the ninth anniversary of Sept. 11 would be more than just a bad idea. To my knowledge, there is no institution, public figure or church other than the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla. that supported this event. Thus, I'll trust the reader does not need an explanation of why burning Qurans is a bad way to spend his or her Saturday evening.
