Alumnus makes Web site home for Frog fans

Published Oct 15, 2009

TCU scored an upset when the Horned Frogs beat Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium 17-10 in 2005 by limiting former Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson to 63 rushing yards.

Scott Nix, owner of KillerFrogs.com, said head coach Gary Patterson thought the Web site KillerFrogs.com posted news about an injury and some schemes that he did not want released. Nix said that when Patterson closed practice to the media, the outcome of the game could have been affected by the lack of media attention.

Underused attorney leads to cutbacks in legal advice

Published Oct 15, 2009

Katie-Rose Watson, a junior German major, might have been saved some legal trouble if she had known about the free legal service offered to all students by the Student Government Association. After being run over by a car on Stadium Drive in November, Watson felt she had nowhere to turn for legal advice.

"I rolled on top of the car's windshield and the car didn't even stop," Watson said. "When I got back from the hospital, I didn't know who to contact or what to do. I wish I would have known that there was free legal advice available at TCU."

Published Oct 15, 2009

Campus police will increase security at night following the campus sexual assault of a female student Tuesday, according to a campuswide e-mail sent by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Don Mills on Wednesday.

TCU Police Lt. Abad Ramiro said the increased security would last as long as university officials think it is needed and could result in some officers being asked to work overtime.



"This is something that's a high-priority-type deal," Ramiro said. "It's just about the safety of the students."

Working a pet into your college lifestyle not easy

Published Oct 15, 2009

It feels as if everywhere you turn, you hear about an animal shelter closing or see a new puppy in your friend's house. Nothing can melt a heart more than seeing a 4-month-old puppy trip awkwardly over its big feet. But nothing can break a heart faster than seeing a homeless or sick animal. Many people, including myself, miss their pets from home. I cannot tell you how much I would pay to have my "puppy," a 9-year-old weimaraner named Sammy, here at school. Unfortunately, he is not the lap dog he thinks he is.

AFTERdark concert sends message of deceit

AFTERdark concert sends message of deceit

Published Oct 9, 2009

In the past few weeks, you might have been wondering what AFTERdark is. I attended AFTERdark my freshman year at the request of my Frog Camp facilitator who, when I asked exactly what AFTERdark was, said simply that it would be a good time. When Joe White took the stage, it was fairly obvious what was going on. Joe was building a giant crucifix (300 pounds, to be exact) on the stage of Ed Landreth Hall. Admittedly, seeing what he was doing in front of me was both a shocking, but thought-provoking experience.
