The last time the Lady Frogs' basketball team played the University of Wyoming, it was a high-scoring affair.

The Lady Frogs (17-8, 9-3 MWC) eked out a 81-78 win in Laramie Jan. 21, but will look to do better defensively when they face the Cowgirls on Saturday.

"Giving up 78 points is far more than we would like," associate head coach Brian Ostermann said. "We have to do some things better defensively against them."

The No. 21-ranked women's tennis team, with up-and-coming freshman Gaby Mastromarino, looks to continue its recent strong play this weekend when it hosts North Carolina State University and a No.15 University of Miami squad at Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center on Saturday and Sunday.

Mastromarino and the team are 3-2 this spring after topping Auburn University 4-3 nearly two weeks ago.

Head coach Jefferson Hammond said Mastromarino has made a smooth transition to becoming a college tennis player, especially with the demands of school and shorter practice time.

The equestrian team, who will face off against rival Southern Methodist University this weekend on their home field in Mansfield, is hoping that a win will give the team momentum to finish off the season strong.

Head coach Gary Reynolds said the hunt seat team has been on a roll the past several competitions and is finally beginning to perform well. He said there has been leadership on the team from sophomore Milana Trimino, who is 7-1 on position on the flat this year.

Facing the prospect President Hugo Chavez's final elected term in office, the Venezuelan people voted to approve a referendum that gave the leader the opportunity to rule their country for life.

The passage effectively removes the previous restrictions that placed term limits on elected officials. Despite a flurry of protests and staunch opposition to the proposal, Chavez is now slated to stay in power beyond 2012, when he will be up for re-election.

The university's decision to participate in the Yellow Ribbon program should be commended.

Beginning in August, the program, a component of the new GI Bill, will allow private universities where the tuition is higher than the most expensive in-state public university to waive some or all of the remaining tuition.

Each private university can elect whether to participate in the program, and colleges are even given the flexibility to choose how many veterans they will waive tuition for and how much of the tuition they will waive.

Young women can stop counting calories and start taking control.

That's the message of award-winning author and journalist Courtney Martin, who is coming to campus Monday to discuss her book, "Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters," and how disordered eating, food and fitness obsession have become normalized among college women, a university official said.

Martin said she was encouraged to write her book after college when she began mentoring young women.

The university intends to honor the commitment made by the veterans who have served the country by pledging to participate in the Yellow Ribbon program, which would fund tuition for incoming veterans, Chancellor Victor Boschini said.

Boschini said agreeing to participate in the program seemed like the right thing for the university to do to help veterans. He said the university looks for opportunities to help bring students with a diversity of experiences to campus and he hopes the Yellow Ribbon program will accomplish that goal.

Head coach Jim Christian told junior forward Zvonko Buljan to pick up the effort for Wednesday night's game against the Air Force Academy at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

Message received.

The junior responded with a game-high 20 points, eight rebounds and five steals in a 62-50 win over the Falcons, snapping a six-game losing streak and putting a wide grin on the Croatian native's face.

"I think we had confidence today," he said. "We played together, and everybody was laughing and smiling and talking to each other."
