Take OTS-Campus

<Add Lib>

shaadi: In Campus, here is something to be proud of .According to the 2006 edition of U-S News and World Report’s annual America’s Best Colleges Guide, U-T-C moved from 43rd to 40th among colleges in the south. This is in part due to the fact that we now offer three doctoral programs. Chancellor Roger Brown was quoted as saying and I quote, “I am particularly pleased to see that UTC continues to score well in academic reputation, class size, and other factors of academic quality.”

Phillip:The Lady Mocs posted a 76-59 win over Davidson at Belk Arena Monday night to claim an unprecedented seventh consecutive Southern Conference crown.The win gives Chattanooga its 18th consecutive victory, second in the nation, and at least a share of the league title with 13 SoCon wins.

Davidson falls to 12-10 on the year and 8-5 in the conference and are the only team left who can catch UTC.One more win will give the Lady Mocs the title outright.
