The number of students who are able to pay their school bills has not declined despite the economic recession and a national survey that shows otherwise, a university official said.

An e-mail survey conducted by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers reported that more than 65 percent of the 43 college registrars who responded said they had noticed an increase in unpaid bills this year, but financial officials have yet to see the trend at TCU.

Chesapeake Energy Corp. unveiled a comprehensive master development plan that could potentially produce the minerals under campus and several neighborhoods without a well on campus, according to a news release issued Friday.

The master plan, called the "Meerkat Mounds to Seminary" plan, proposes a means for the university to lease the minerals under campus while averting the problems associated with the former drill site, according to the news release.

If the economy doesn't dramatically improve in the next two to three years, President Barack Obama could very well be a one-term president.

Just days after he assumes power, there is no doubt that the economy will be Obama's greatest domestic and political challenge.

It will greatly define not only his presidency, but his legacy.

Obama is inheriting a wide spectrum of weak economic figures including steep unemployment, a credit crisis, and a dismal housing market. All of which require his immediate attention.

With the current slump in America's economy, it seems even the pornography industry has fallen into hard times and yet, the CEOs of the industry continue to bring in the money.

Larry Flynt, Hustler magazine publisher, and Joe Francis, Girls Gone Wild founder and CEO, have appealed to Congress for a $5 billion bailout to rejuvenate the adult entertainment industry.

At first glance this seems vulgar, repulsive and could be construed as an attempt to make a mockery of a serious problem in our economy.

The men's basketball team pulled out a narrow victory at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum Wednesday night, beating the Wyoming Cowboys 79-78 in overtime.

With 19 seconds left in overtime, junior forward Edvinas Ruzgas hit a three-point shot to put the Horned Frogs in the lead for good. Senior forward Kevin Langford passed the ball to junior guard Keion Mitchem at the top of the key who then swung the ball to Ruzgas in the corner for the open shot.

"I was wide open and confident, shot it and made it," Ruzgas said. "I tried to keep myself confident and make the shot."

This wasn't supposed to happen so quickly.

In March 2008, men's head basketball coach Jim Christian was hired to take over a team that appeared to be in shambles.

The team had compiled a 75-108 record during six disappointing seasons under former head coach Neil Dougherty and finished in last place in two of its three seasons in the Mountain West Conference.

Last year's squad went 14-16 overall with a 6-10 mark in the MWC, good for a seventh place finish in the conference.

Coming off a momentum-changing win at home Saturday, the Lady Frogs are in Laramie, Wyo., today to face the University of Wyoming Cowgirls in the first of a two-game road swing.

TCU split the series with Wyoming last season, winning at home and losing on the road. Head coach Jeff Mittie said his team should be ready to play tonight and will hopefully show signs of remedying some mental unpreparedness he has witnessed in the last few games from his team.
