Sitting among friends and acquaintances from his church, one student forces a smile while the others laugh hysterically at a gay joke.

A TCU student, who asked that his name be withheld to protect his privacy, said this is just a mild one-second reflection of the lives of Christian homosexuals, some of whom feel forced to live in the closet in order to avoid losing their standing in the church and community.

The expression, "Better late than never," can now be applied to TCU's political organizations. After being practically dormant for the past two months, TCU College Republicans and TCU Democrats are taking the initiative to step up and take part in this year's presidential election.

The Republican party rallied together Monday to kick off early voting on campus, and the Democratic party will have a Professor Dunk-a-thon at 3 p.m. today at the Campus Commons.

Since mid-September, polling sites across the nation have opened their doors to early voters, who are breaking voter turnout records at an astounding rate.

They're not the only ones making history - millions of new voters have registered at unprecedented rates, especially in minority groups and in the youth demographic. It has become easier than ever to get involved in the political process through dozens of Web sites promoting voter registration and education, or local campaign and party headquarters that have redoubled their efforts for the upcoming election.

The other day, the university tested its much-anticipated TCU Alert System. In an instant, most of the campus population received text messages and e-mails to be used as a preliminary mass message system. The concept seems to have worked thus far, allowing the administration to quickly notify students, faculty and staff about any pressing matters. These can range from weather fiascoes, changes in school functions and other disasters on campus.

Last season, the Frogs, coming off of two straight home victories, went on the road to Laramie, Wyo., to face the Wyoming Cowboys.

The Cowboys proceeded to shock the Frogs and pull off a 24-21 upset.

"When we played them last year, they had two weeks to prepare and embarrassed us," head coach Gary Patterson said.

The Cowboys rushed for 232 yards in that contest, including two 100-yard rushers. The Frogs have allowed 168 yards rushing in eight games this season.
