The culmination of four weeks of fall practice, the Purple and White World Series, will begin today at 3:15 p.m. at Lupton Stadium. The five-game series will last through Sunday.Sophomore catcher Andrew Walker said he is looking forward to separating into teams and the increased competition between players that will come with the split.

"It'll be fun to get out here and divide up into teams," Walker said. "It's a real competitive atmosphere instead of just doing the same drills every single day. It's a lot more fun."

Students filed into Daniel-Meyer Coliseum on Sunday for "Greek 101" to listen to speakers discuss the consequences of alcohol and hazing.Mike Green, president and founder of Collegiate Consultants, spoke to approximately 1,200 students about responsible drinking and recounted his own experiences as a recovering alcoholic.

"You don't have to be an alcoholic to have an alcohol problem," Green said.

Most students who drink are "one-nighters," or drinkers with a one-night problem with a secondary consequence, Green said.

"Re: use bcc next time" will forever hold a different meaning after a mass business e-mail went out Wednesday.The e-mail was originally used to inform business students about a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Stan. It took a different turn when a student responded to all and initiated the first of 91 e-mails sent to all recipients.

"There is usually a reply-to-all restriction on mass e-mails," said Lynn Cole, director of the Neeley Student Resource Center. "For some reason the restriction was not in place, so students were able to reply to the whole business school."

Red Ribbon Week began Monday. Many students can relate to this event through childhood memories of elementary and middle school.Wearing a red ribbon, proudly displayed on your shirt, or on your pants if you lived on the edge back in 1994, made students feel like they were coming together for a cause. Sometimes it would even lead to competition, and whichever class had all the students wearing his or her ribbon would win ice cream or a pizza party, depending on the year.

Unfortunately, that's where most students' knowledge on the subject ends.

Fort Worth area fourth-graders gathered at TCU on Saturday to learn math and science in a fun and interesting way, said Linda Taylor, an administrative assistant.Mini-university, now in its sixth year, was developed to only teach fourth-graders because it is the age when they begin to lose interest in math and science, said Janet Kelly, an associate professor of education and creator of the annual event.
