The Frogs are ranked No. 6 in the nation and are in the driver's seat of their own destiny. This Saturday, they have the chance to move another step closer to their greatest season in over 70 years. The Frogs are playing Top 10 football, which is more than Texas Tech, Texas A&M and even Oklahoma can say this season. Not to mention this weekend is Homecoming, a time to celebrate the tradition of this school. Why wouldn't every Frog fan be at Saturday's game?

Residential Services is no more - by name anyway.

Heather Miller, associate director of Residential Services, said the department has changed its name to Housing and Residence Life in order to make it easier for students to understand the purpose of the office.

"People always called us housing anyway," Miller said. "We felt it was a little more representative of what we actually did."

The passage of time has provided many concrete examples of the perils of journalism. Within the past year there have been plenty of kidnappings throughout the Middle East and few releases. However, a new issue has burst onto the scene recently: that of the jurisdiction of these countries in arresting journalists and reporters whom they view as protestors or directly threatening to the political system.

When Jonathan Bornstein scored the most amazing header of his life in the fifth minute of stoppage time during the USA/Costa Rica game Oct. 14, I jumped, screamed, yelled and celebrated idiotically, like I'm sure every other U.S. soccer fan did at that moment. The goal led to the U.S. tying Costa Rica 2-2 and was a huge boost for the U.S. after being down nearly the whole game. Moments like these give me hope. They make me want to believe in the U.S. soccer program and have faith that we might actually be able to compete on a world stage next summer with the best teams in the world.

The Student Government Association's Programming Council has scheduled Frog Follies as part of the homecoming agenda after a three-year absence, a Programming Council representative said.

Kendal Rader, a junior speech pathology major and Programming Council homecoming director, said Frog Follies is a group skit competition, not a talent show. Group skits ranging from songs to dance routines are expected, she said.

The last time Frog Follies was held on campus was fall 2006. It was an event held every year during homecoming week before it was canceled.

Finally social networking Web sites such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and MySpace have become useful for something other than posting meaningless thoughts and viewing funny babies. In order to garner support for his valiant cause against the corporate giant Hansen Beverage Co., Matt Nadeau, co-owner of Rock Art Brewery out of Vermont, gathered support from the Internet and various other sources.
