Frogs will get tune-up needed for Clemson

There is no doubt that the Horned Frogs will come up victorious Saturday against the Texas State Bobcats. The real game will be the Frogs challenging themselves to beat the Bobcats by a larger margin than they beat Stephen F. Austin, a fellow Southland Conference member, last year.

While the TCU matchup is the Bobcats' big game of the season, TCU head coach Gary Patterson emphasizes the one game at a time mentality to his team to the point that he almost never discusses future opponents to the media.

The Dallas Holocaust Museum will feature the research of Harriet Cohen, associate professor of social work, as part of a series called "Holocaust Legacies: Shoah as Turning Point." Cohen's research focused on the use of memory as a survival aid for those who experienced the Holocaust.

Ray Brown, dean of admissions, made it his goal for the past nine years to raise the percentage of minority students in the freshman class to 20 percent.

The University of Wyoming will name its international center after former Vice President Dick Cheney. To be frank, it's a bad idea.

His name only signifies the poor policy decisions of the Bush administration. This is the man who allegedly authorized the use of harsh interrogation techniques, otherwise known as torture, on Guantanamo Bay inmates after Sept. 11. It is hard to see any positive effect from naming a building after him.

The volleyball team opened conference play with a 3-1 (25-18, 16-25, 25-22, 25-22) win over New Mexico in Albuquerque on Wednesday night.

Senior middle blocker Kourtney Edwards became the university's all-time blocks leader early in the game and ended the night with 446 career blocks.

The Horned Frogs' first-ever win at New Mexico was aided by an offense that produced 51 kills. Junior outside hitter Christy Hudson had 13 kills against the Lobos, Edwards produced 12 kills and sophomore middle blocker Kristen Hester tallied 11 kills and seven blocks.
