What does it take to truly learn something from a class? What is the final factor of whether we gain knowledge from three or four hours of credit?Learning is being able to literally take away with you something from the other people and resources.

When you study a subject to develop yourself in any way, you are learning.

"Save the Cheerleader. Save the World." If you don't know where this TV season's most popular catch phrase is from, then you are missing out.NBC's "Heroes" is the most watched new show of the season, and for good reason. It tells the stories of common people with uncommon powers and how they must come together to fight the ultimate evil.

NBC is about to air the last new episode before taking a six-week break, which means there is no better time to get caught-up on all the action. NBC still has the first 10 episodes posted on its Web site.

Our campus is booby trapped.I'm not kidding. There are several places on campus where the unsuspecting student will be innocently minding their own business, thinking they're doing nothing wrong and then "BOOM!" They find themselves short $75 for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Focus on the upcoming game against the Air Force Falcons took precedence over the Poinsettia Bowl and recent talk of firings in the college football world at Tuesday's football Coaches' Luncheon."We beat the odds, and nobody thought we could get to this point with a chance to go 10-2," head coach Gary Patterson said. "We are in a position to finish the season just like we wanted, we just did it in a different way."

Last weekend the Frogs beat the Colorado State Rams and solidified their chance for a bowl bid.

The Lady Frogs have found their way into the win column with a pair of home wins against the Houston Cougars and Rice Owls during the holiday.After starting the season 0-3, the Frogs have brought their record to 2-3 with a two-game winning streak led by junior shooting guard Adrianne Ross.

Ross leads the team in scoring with 89 points on the young season and made a career-high seven steals against the Owls on Saturday.

We have all been guilty of this at one time or another. It's different when it's the phone call that just needs to be answered, the papers that have to be everywhere or the bag of chips that has to be eaten.

But when it is someone else committing these crimes against your studious ways, the call is the last thing you're interested in hearing, the papers seem a little bigger, and the chips always sound a little louder.

A library is a place to study, to start or finish a paper or do a little research.
