The university should be open to reviewing the plus/minus grading system, which needs some type of uniformity. Although it was implemented three years ago, not all professors use the system, and even within departments there are varying grading scales, which results in discrepancies about what might constitute an A in one class versus another. Because of this, Student Government Association representatives have plans to meet with the Faculty Senate to discuss uniformity and grade equality concerning the plus/minus system.

After going undefeated in the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum for 22 consecutive games and clenching the Mountain West Conference title, the women's basketball team failed to finish their season on a strong note, dropping their final regular season game to Brigham Young University 65-70. Heading into the conference tournament, the Lady Frogs are 22-7 overall on the season.

After winning the first two games in the Houston College Classic during the weekend, the Horned Frogs lost to Rice University, dropping their season record to 8-2.

The loss ended the Frogs' four-game winning streak.

Against Rice, the No. 7 Horned Frog baseball team had runners in every inning, producing 11.

The Frogs had a 4-3 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth, but the Owls delivered the game winning hit to end the game 5-4.

BYU (28-4, 13-3) won a lopsided contest against the Horned Frogs (13-18, 5-11) Saturday night 107-77.

The Cougars withstood an 18-4 run early in the game by the Frogs to pull out their single season record twenty-eighth win.

TCU head coach Jim Christian said the first five minutes was complete execution by the Frogs.

"We were playing the right way. We guarded the basketball right. Moved the ball. Rebounding the ball and then that was it we should have left," said Christian.

Things fell apart for the Frogs from that point.

Although the Lady Frogs have already clinched the Mountain West Conference regular season title, they still have more to play for in their final regular season game Saturday.

"Every win is important at this point, because it determines seeding for the NCAA Tournament," said head coach Jeff Mittie. "We are projected to play in that 8-9 game. We can get out of that if we can win some more games."

Morrison Wong called one of the temporary on-campus trailers his home since 1984 until this semester, when he moved into his new location at Scharbauer Hall, which opened this spring.

The trailer was not actually home, but where his office was located for about 25 years, he said. Wong, chair of the department for sociology and anthropology, said the trailers were supposed to be temporary, but when the master plan for the campus was put together a social science building was never part of it.

The art of cooking is buried near the bottom of head football coach Gary Patterson's long list of daily concerns, but when the cookin' is for kids, the list doesn't matter.

Student nurses should be courageous and focus on developing health care solutions when they enter the professional nursing field, one industry expert said.

Susan Hassmiller, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Senior Advisor for Nursing and the director of the Initiative on the Future of Nursing at the Institute of Medicine, visited campus Thursday as part of the W.F. "Tex" and Pauline Rankin Lectureship in Nursing and called for nurses to take the initiative to lead new nursing developments, engage in their own research and embrace technology.

As if military spouses didn't have enough to worry about already, now they will have to worry about how they will pay for college.

Though the government only began giving grant money to military spouses last year, many would have already begun to count on that money to get them a promotion or a new job.

The problem here is that the government promised these husbands or wives money that it cannot deliver. Some were already approved to receive up to $6,000 in grant money before the program was suspended in February.

The Clean Water Act was created and put into action in 1972 to regulate and prevent companies from dumping illegal and dangerous substances into lakes that could eventually become tap water in homes and restaurants. According to an article in The New York Times, the Supreme Court has left uncertain which waterways are protected by the law; therefore, thousands of the nation's largest water polluters are declaring that the law no longer applies to them. This is dangerous and a problem for numerous reasons.
