FORT WORTH — TCU is staying home to play its bowl
game. The 19th-ranked Horned Frogs (11-1), who turned
down an invitation from the GMAC Bowl because it conflicts
with final exams at the school, accepted an invitation
Monday night to play in the inaugural Fort Worth Bowl
against an undetermined opponent. |

Chi
Alpha praises God with dance
President of ministry invites all to
worship
Valena Brown, a senior modern dance major, said she has
been rebuilding a dance ministry through Chi Alpha as
a way to worship God in a new way. “I started dancing
at church as a way of praise,” she said. “That’s
how God led me to it.” Because there have been so
many dancers in Chi Alpha, many of whom are dance majors,
it just seemed appropriate, Brown said. |

Shoppers
focus on bargains
The Thanksgiving weekend gave the nation’s retailers
a solid start to the holiday season, although consumers
remained focused on bargains even as the economy improves.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other discounters attracted crowds
of shoppers with specials on TVs, DVD players and toys
and had the strongest sales. Department stores and mall-based
clothing retailers were discounting less than they did
last year, and their business was uneven. |

Program
to offer four-year degree
Avery Kibbe will be one of the first students to graduate
from TCU with a bachelor of science in ranch management.
TCU has decided to allow students to major in ranch management,
which will allow Kibbe to graduate with the degree at
the end of next year. He completed the certification program
last year, but under the old rules, his hours did not
count toward a degree plan, he said. |
