Safety checks lack consistency

Safety checks lack consistency

Published Feb 24, 2006

About two weeks ago, I walked into my dorm room to find three guys walking around the room. Although I was not close friends with any of them, they were all acquaintances, and I knew what was happening. It was one of the random safety checks that happen throughout the school year.I knew that I had nothing to hide, so I wasn't really worried. But by the time it was over, I had emptied a bag full of quarters on my desk, as well as demonstrated that a decorative pipe on a shelf had indeed not been used. As I thought, I didn't have anything to hide, but I was sweating for a minute.

TCU lost the teams' earlier matchup 67-64 at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum on Jan. 25.The Frogs will have to do a better job this time of containing BYU forward Ambrosia Anderson, who sunk TCU with 24 points. Anderson took full advantage of a Horned Frog squad that has struggled all season to defend against the three; although it has improved since then, TCU's perimeter defense is still allowing opponents to average 37 percent shooting from long range.
