The Neeley Entrepreneurship Center is hosting a family business seminar today to teach families how to transition the next generation into the business, said an assistant director at the center.Brad Hancock, assistant director of the center, said the seminar will cover critical issues that family-owned businesses deal with every day such as communication, conflict resolution, deciding who has the right combination of capability and motivation for the business world as well as other topics.

Hancock said many TCU students come from family-owned business backgrounds.

Whether we'd care to admit it, a cell phone is a college student's life.It is our connection to family, friends or perhaps the job offer we've been dreaming about.

However, limited or no reception can put a damper on one's lifestyle.

A cell phone is mobile, so we should be able to call, text and e-mail wherever we go.

Therefore, phone carriers should go to more college campuses and work with the schools to provide, as they say, "more bars in more places."

RealWorld Integrated Marketing Communications, an advertising agency staffed by TCU students, celebrates its first anniversary this month.

The student-run advertising agency worked on 68 projects for 28 clients in its first year of operations, said the director of RealWorld IMC.

The agency works only for nonprofit organizations.

"We're giving back to Fort Worth by giving the nonprofits a lot for their money," said Claudia Butts, director of RealWorld.

It's hard to be better than perfect.The university's Master of Accounting class of 2007 achieved a 100 percent job placement rate upon graduation.

Barry Bryan, director of the MAc program in the Neeley School of Business, said this was a result of a good job market and the program's graduates being highly qualified.

Bryan said since the Enron scandal, companies are looking for more credibility in financial reporting, which has created a better job market for recent graduates eligible to take the CPA exam.

Students will not need to travel far to give parents the true Fort Worth honky-tonk experience this Family Weekend. The Student Government Association is bringing it all to campus.Texas country music performer Kevin Fowler will perform at 4:30 p.m. Saturday in the Brachman parking lot. Fowler's performance is part of an attempt by SGA to get upperclassmen to attend the student tailgate, said Aaron Wolfe, a junior advertising/public relations major and vice chair of Programming Council.

Although Fort Worth crime statistics suggest the TCU area is relatively more safe than surrounding areas, that might not be the case. Fort Worth crime statistics in the TCU area do not show the total amount of crime because Fort Worth police do not report on-campus crime, said Kirk Byrom, a neighborhood police officer for the Fort Worth Police Department.

The TCU Police report and record crime on the TCU campus separately, Byrom said, and those statistics are not included in the city's statistics.

Two men, one game, a mission, a hope, a passion: "Donkey Kong." Wait. "Donkey Kong" - the video game with the large ape-like creature who throws barrels at Mario as he ascends the steel girders of the construction site?

"King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" is the story of arcade game gurus Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe, and it has been taking a trip through independent movie theaters nationwide. Last Friday it made its premiere in Fort Worth at the newly opened Hulen Movie Tavern.
