This week, students can catch "Burial at Thebes" one night, and "Another Antigone" the next, as Theatre TCU presents two interpretations of the Greek tragedy "Antigone." They're two different plays, but both are based on Sophocles' "Antigone" -- a project called "Antigone in Rep."

Each play has a separate cast and crew and will be performed in rotation at Hays Theatre through Oct. 1.

An "in repertory" show like this has not been performed at TCU since 1972, said Preston Swincher, publicity assistant for Theatre TCU.

Faculty and staff should have enough places to park Thursday afternoon, even though some will be required to move their cars for the TCU vs. BYU football game, the TCU Police chief said.Human Resources sent an e-mail to faculty and staff that informed members who park in lots needed for game parking will need to leave work at 1 p.m. or move their cars to make room for visitor parking before the 5 p.m. game.

Ah, the sweet serenade of the TCU alma mater. Nothing's greater than a group of students getting together and expressing their school spirit by singing this revered tune. Last Wednesday night, I attended such a performance. The problem is, it was occurring outside of my dorm room window at 3 in the morning.Yes, it's true. And as if that weren't enough, they proceeded to sing the fight song and then have a 45-minute conversation in the alleyway between Milton Daniel and Moncrief halls. By the time everything was all said and done, it was about 4 a.m.

Conference play has begun, and the Lady Frogs have continued their winning ways with a victory over their first conference opponent, the Lady Cowgirls of Wyoming.They will open up further conference play on the road, when they battle the Air Force Falcons and the Colorado State Rams Friday and Saturday.

Freshman defensive specialist Katelyn Blackwood said the Frogs keep the same kind of simple game plan against all of their opponents.

"Our game plan is always to go out and play like a team," Blackwood said.

The war on terror has been the United States' global battle for the past five years. While it is debatable whether the United States is winning the war, it has no doubt dominated our national attention.There is another war, however, that has been going on for ages and has been all but ignored by the general public: the war on poverty.

It is reprehensible to imagine the amount of resources we waste that could be used to help eliminate poverty.

TCU has been attracting a lot of attention thanks to last week's win over Texas Tech, and people nationwide are starting to take notice.Since the game, The New York Times, The Washington Post and USA Today have all featured articles about TCU, said Tracy Syler-Jones, assistant vice chancellor for marketing and communication.

The Horned Frogs went from No. 20 to No. 15 in the USA Today Top 25 poll after they beat the Red Raiders 12-3 Saturday in front of the first sold-out crowd at Amon Carter Stadium since 1984.

Students often look for a quick and easy way to lose weight, stay awake or perform better, but these results are not usually long-term, according to health experts.Fad diets are identified as weight-loss plans that offer quick and easy methods to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time, according to familydoctor.org.

Fears such as the "freshman 15" contribute to the pressures of dieting, said Laura Crawley, the assistant dean of Campus Life.

First it was a TV show on MTV, then it became a movie in 2002, and now it's back with a sequel bigger and more over-the-top than its predecessor.The movie "Jackass Number Two" unleashes its no-holds-bar scenarios on audiences with more outrageous stunts.

The problem with reviewing a movie like "Jackass" is there is no plot, and you can't really talk about the film without giving anything away.

Spinach lovers should start finding another salad option to munch on until the E. coli outbreak is resolved, said TCU Dining Services staff. Since the recent outbreak, Dining Services has taken all frozen and fresh spinach products off the menu and out of the kitchen, said Legia Abato, marketing manager for Dining Services.

Rick Flores, general manager of Dining Services, said the Dining Services staff "have thrown out the four cases of spinach we had and will not order more until the FDA says it's safe to."

Q. What was the first stunt you ever performed for money?A. We never did "Jackass" as a way to get money. Money was never even in consideration when we started doing this.

Q. About how many times have you been in the hospital as a result of stunts performed on "Jackass?"

A. I think I have been to the hospital around six to seven times, but I never had to stay overnight.

Q. Do you have any permanent scars as a result from the show?

A. I am sure there is some liver damage I've done, but nothing too big.
