Most sprinklers don't shoot 40 feet in the air.That was the case Monday morning, however, when construction workers hit an irrigation line in the Worth Hills area just outside of the Kappa Alpha Theta house, spilling water for about 10 minutes.

"It was just shooting as tall as the house," said Whitney Freeman, a sophomore nursing major and member of Kappa Alpha Theta. "It was pretty high up there."

The volleyball team managed to work a split of the matches in a weekend road series against the BYU Cougars and Utah Utes.Saturday's match with the Utes marked a historic moment for senior libero Calli Corley as she set the all-time record for digs in a career. She notched 33 digs during the match giving her 1,229 for her career.

She is the first Horned Frog to pass the 1,200 dig milestone. The 3-2 match win over Utah broke a four-match losing streak and brought the team to 3-3 in conference.

The confidence gained from the equestrian team's first victory of the season Saturday will hopefully carry over for the rest of the season, the head coach said. Coming off a 9-7 win against Stephen F. Austin, head coach Gary Reynolds said the dominance of the Western team was a big key to Saturday's win. Junior Chloe Baker led the way for the Western team, accumulating a 73.5 score.

Senior Kindel Huffman and junior Carrie von Uhlit took home MVP honors, with two and one, respectively.

During a debate for a senatorial seat in 1858, Democratic candidate Stephen Douglas accused Abraham Lincoln of being two-faced.

Lincoln didn't miss a beat.

"If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?" he quipped.

Up on the stage, carefully rehearsed speeches won't do the trick. Politicians have to be prepared to engage in a battle of wits with their opponents, and humor is their best weapon.

We've all been disappointed at different times of our lives, and I am no exception.Whether it was the passing of two of my grandparents, the Yankees' collapse in the 2004 American League Championship Series...

During the weekend, the National Hockey League kicked off the 2007-2008 regular season in London with a pair of games between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks.My guess would be that only about 2 percent of Americans were aware these games were even occurring as the rest of the country hunkered down for a hearty weekend of college and professional football.

The fact of the matter is professional hockey ranks somewhere between professional bowling and competitive watermelon seed spitting in the minds of most Americans.

Sad, but true.

Engagement is in the air.Maybe it's the change of seasons causing these over-zealous lovebirds to take the plunge.

Or is it becoming more of a trend on campus for a couple to get engaged before graduation?

I just visited one of my great friends at TCU, who recently got engaged.

Naturally, I heard the fairy tale love story, the beginning of wedding plans and, for a glimmer of a second, I wondered what it would be like if I were in the same situation.

But as I drove away, I began to think rationally again.

You are in class diligently listening to the lecture. The professor is finishing up explaining a relatively obvious concept you - and seemingly everyone else - understand and is now preparing to move on to the next topic.

Your eyes wander to an individual in the second or third row, with a puzzled expression on their face, similar to that of George W. Bush in a debate.

Their hand creeps skyward as they decide they cannot figure this out on their own and have an inquiry.
