An opening reception in Scharbauer Hall marked the beginning of a photography exhibit and a series of lectures to commemorate women's roles in the Mexican Revolution. Spanish instructor María Zalduondo said the exhibit focuses on the women who took part in revolutionary efforts.

She said the roles of the women, known as Soldaderas, have often been overlooked because their participation was not widely documented. However, Zalduondo said they played an important role in the Mexican Revolution by cooking for soldiers, tending to wounds and sometimes taking up arms themselves.

Morgan, a Geology professor, said the Honda Civic GX, which the car company donated to the university, was the first of its kind to be owned by a college campus.

The Food and Drug Administration approved a new prescription drug Aug. 13 that will allow women to take a pill up to five days after sex to prevent pregnancy.

Plan C is an emergency contraceptive pill that works more effectively than Plan B, the most-used emergency contraceptive, because it has different ingredients and allows a longer window of time that it can be effective.

Women who use Plan C would be able to reap the same benefits of taking it on the fifth day as they would on the first.

The TCU equestrian team has relocated to a larger practice and competition facility after years of looking for a new home.

The team had been looking to move to a new facility for the past four years, assistant coach Kindel Huffman said.

"It's difficult to prove, but it is equally difficult to discount," Brown said.

After the Frogs forced the Oregon State offense to go 3-and-out on the opening drive, TCU fans had to feel pretty good about how the game was going to end up.

But then Andy Dalton did something he did only eight times last season: threw an interception. It only took two plays for the Beaver's offense to capitalize on the turnover as quarterback Ryan Katz paired with James Rodgers for a 30-yard touchdown.
