Christianity has been grossly misrepresented.I opened the paper Sunday and saw that Ted Haggard of New Life Church in Colorado Springs had been fired because of "sexual immorality," according New Life Church's statements.

Haggard acknowledged Friday in the Gazette Telegraph that he had paid a Denver man for a massage and for methamphetamine. The man claims the two had a "long-term sexual relationship, though Haggard said he did not have sex with the man and did not take the drug.

Coming off a 25-10 win over the UNLV Rebels in Las Vegas, the Horned Frogs will travel to Albuquerque, N.M., to take on the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday.Head coach Gary Patterson said Tuesday at the weekly Coaches' Luncheon, that the Horned Frogs are preparing heavily to play the Lobos.

"There is a lot more preparation that goes in for us," Patterson said. "You have to prepare, especially when you play in somebody else's house, to not give up the easy touchdown."

In today's fashion-forward, weight-conscious market, there are countless diets available. But before South Beach was discovered and before Atkins put pen to paper, there was the vegetarian diet.Like any diet, there was a time when being a vegetarian was seen and used to get attention and a way for people to form their identities. Today, vegetarianism has evolved into an environmentally aware habit, and I think it's safe to say, the "tree-hugging" perception has been put to rest.

There are essentially two ways to cut meat out of your diet: as a vegetarian and as a vegan.

With a 25-10 win over the UNLV Rebels on Saturday, the Frogs have moved up in the national polls and in the Mountain West Conference standings.TCU (6-2 overall and 2-2 conference) is now ranked No. 31 in the nation, receiving seven votes in the USA Today poll and two in the AP poll. The BYU Cougars (7-2, 5-0) are ranked No. 27 in the USA Today poll and No. 25 in the AP poll. After the win, the Frogs moved ahead of the San Diego State Aztecs (1-7, 1-3) for sixth place in the Mountain West Conference.

There is room for improvement for the H20 Frogs following their first two meets against Mountain West Conference opponents, said head coach Richard Sybesma.Thursday, the women faced the Colorado State Rams, and Saturday, both the men's and women's teams took on the BYU Cougars.

The H20 Frogs lost by 12 points to the Rams on Wednesday, while the men's and women's teams lost by a combined total of 134 to the Cougars on Saturday.

Elections in Texas, for the most part, are one-sided, but thanks to this year's gubernatorial race, this may no longer hold true. Among the candidates we've been dealt, Democratic candidate Chris Bell stands out from the crowd. For the younger voting population in Texas, Bell's policies are the most sound and hold the most promise for a positive change in the state.

Bell keeps the young voters in mind, focusing on policies that will have a lasting impact on them.

With two conference matches remaining, the Horned Frogs will try to recover from their weekend losses before the Mountain West Conference Championships.Friday night, the Frogs flirted with a possible upset against the No. 9 Utah Utes, but they fell short after a four-game match in front of a school record of more than 850 fans.

Led by freshman outside hitter Lauren Otto, the Frogs started to mount a comeback Friday against the Utes, but it was too little too late

"We needed to finish what we had in game three," head coach Prentice Lewis said.

The men's and women's basketball teams finished out preseason play with two exhibition games at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.The Lady Frogs hosted the WNBA Lake Truck All-Stars on Sunday and took the victory 76-70 after regaining their composure following a slow first half.

"We were trying too hard in the first half," said Jeff Mittie, women's head coach.

The second half brought new life to the Lady Frogs as they quickly erased their 34-32 halftime deficit and took control of the game, in part due to junior Adrianne Ross' leadership on court.

Friday's article on student debt did not cover the entire story concerning student debt and the profitability of a college education. Just to clear a couple things up, you do not have your entire life to pay off student loans. Most student loans are required to be paid in a period around 15 years. So unless you plan on being ready to retire at around 37, then you may have a problem with that calculation. It is also obvious that most 18-year-olds do not do a lot of analysis on how they will profit from their education after graduation.

Election Day. On this magical date once every couple of years, the halls of local middle schools are turned into the heart of the American political system. When you drop your ballot in the box, you can rest assured that you've done your civic duty, and you are now an upstanding citizen - minus the tax evasion and littering and whatnot.As much fun as voting is, I'd have to say my favorite part about election season is the attack advertisements. Seriously, nothing glues me to the television like two people taking pot shots at each other, especially if they're politicians.

The sidewalk adjacent to the Mary Couts Burnett Library is bare once again after two students moved out of the car parked there as part of last week's Chevrolet Aveo Challenge.Chris Qualls, a junior communications major, and Cohlby Youtsey, a senior middle school education major, placed third in Chevrolet's Aveo Challenge, where they were required to live in a 2007 Chevy Aveo from 10 a.m. Oct. 30 to Nov. 3 at 11 p.m. central time.

Turn on the TV or take a look at a newspaper this week and all you'll see is election, election, election. From bumper stickers on cars, to signs stuck in lawns, even "Facebook" has a section for "campaign issues" this fall, the upcoming midterm elections seem to be everywhere.

Everywhere that is, except TCU.

"I didn't even know there was an election on Tuesday," said senior nutrition major Jennifer Gitchell. "What are we voting for?"
