For months, noise associated with construction and renovation of Moudy Building South, home of the College of Communication, became a part of the class experience for students there.

John Lumpkin, director of the Schieffer School of Journalism, said that the building had been the same for decades and that the construction is part of a plan to expand the school's future opportunities, like broadcasting student newscasts outside of the university.

One big addition to the school, he said, is the new convergence center.

Barack Obama is Muslim. Trust me. I should know. Sound familiar? Similar campaigns were run during the presidential campaign in an attempt to "otherize" the current president by relating him to extremist members of Islam. If this sounds ludicrous, maybe it won't if one considers the percentage of Americans who still believe this.

"I think the first phase of the master plan is generally considered five to six years, and I think there would be a parking garage in that first phase," Mills said.

Following a 20-point loss to Brigham Young in Provo, the 10-13 Horned Frogs will stay on the road to take on another Mountain West opponent, the Air Force Academy Falcons. TCU head coach Jim Christian ran an intense practice Thursday afternoon to prepare the team for the showdown with Air Force.

The main theme of the practice was finishing plays and playing hard.

"It's hurt our team," Christian said. "We break down on the big possessions before they do. They have to have a resolve to win in order to win."
