I'd like to respond to Michael Lauck's column "Unpaid internship laws misguided." His premise is that new regulations make business into "charitable organizations." As a computer science major, I had two internships, one at a large company, and one at a small company. Both were paid internships. Neither company was being "charitable" as they were receiving services they paid for. The fact of the matter is that these laws prevent companies from abusing students in a down economy to get free labor.

Students from the John V. Roach Honors College will have seats in the House of Student Representatives for the first time following the student government elections on April 20.

The four new Honors College seats were added as part of the House's annual appropriation of delegates to different colleges. The resolution was one of four pieces of legislation discussed in the House meeting Tuesday night.

When two university students founded the TCU Energy Club in March 2008, they never envisioned the group would grow to include hundreds of members and have access to leaders in the industry.

Justin LaPoten, a junior finance major and energy in technology and management minor, said that since the club started two years ago with about eight members, it has experienced tremendous growth, thanks to its relationship with the TCU Energy Institute. There are currently more than 350 students who pay $50 a semester to participate in the club, LaPoten said.

With other comparable schools like Baylor University and Rice University charging students an annual fee that nears or is more than $100, and with no increases to the TCU student body fee since 2005 , it was warranted for the Student Government Association to propose to raise the annual student body fee from $48 a year to $90.

While an increase in the student body fee is merited, SGA should re-examine how that funding will be allocated if the Board of Trustees approves the proposal.

The men's tennis team has quite a challenge ahead of it this week. The No. 66-ranked Horned Frogs will square off with two Mountain West Conference rivals, hosting the Utah Utes on Thursday and the Brigham Young Cougars on Saturday.

The Horned Frogs are 7-8 in match play on the season, 1-1 in conference and are looking to put together a significant string of wins, a feat they have yet to accomplish this semester. They are coming off a tough 4-3 loss against San Diego State on Sunday.

Following a pair of e-mail hacking attempts in January and February, knowledge of possible scamming tactics could help prevent students from becoming bait for online phishers, a representative for Information Security Services said.

University Technology Resources detected the phishing attacks on faculty, staff and students via the university e-mail system within two months of one another, said Barbara McClellan, an information security engineer. The close timing of these attacks means students should be more aware of how to prevent this problem, she said.

The TCU Horned Frogs faced one of the biggest challenges of the season on Tuesday night as the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners came to Lupton Stadium for a one game series. The Horned Frogs came into the game after winning a hard series against Sand Diego State, taking two of three from the Aztecs. The Sooners gave up a three game sweep to Texas this weekend, and were looking to break their losing streak on Tuesday. Oklahoma took the game 4-2.

The TCU club lacrosse team huddles under the stadium lights at Fort Worth Country Day High School after a 19-6 win over the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. The players are bruised, panting and sweaty as they come together, but they are jumping and screaming with excitement. After the players breaks for the night, they gather smelly bags full of pads and equipment and head to Buffalo Bros., a local restaurant. They spend hours laughing, eating and celebrating their win - and their sport.

But it wasn't always that way.

It requires the athletic endurance of soccer, the passing skills of football and the quick-paced offense-defense turnover of basketball. Players sprint past opponents, cutting in and out as they zigzag their way toward the goal, the light plastic disc constantly sailing on the air between them. They fervently chase after the disc and sacrifice their bodies as they dive into the ground for a stray pass while dodging opponents.
