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.

The School of Art will not hire a new director this year after negotiations failed with the selected candidate, a university administrator said.

Scott Sullivan, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said the candidate wanted to be granted tenure upon being hired, but university policy prohibits this practice.

Ronald Watson, the school's current director, originally planned to step down at the end of the spring semester to return to full-time teaching but will now hold the position for another year.

A senior adviser for nursing at the nationally known health care philanthropy Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will explain the eight areas that need improvement in order to improve future patient care at a lecture at the Kelly Alumni Center tonight.

Susan Hassmiller's lecture, "The Future of Nursing and Healthcare," is sponsored by The Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences and will focus on the future of nursing.

Students with a passion for sustainable living will be able to help lead the environmental awareness movement in their residence halls because a new position in the Residence Hall Association, the Eco Rep, will be available for students to apply for next semester.

Brian Sullivan, a junior business and environmental science major, came up with the idea while enrolled in the Chasing Carbon class last semester.

Last week, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates told Congress of plans to finally allow women to serve aboard submarines, according to a CNN article.

It's about time.

I was actually unaware that women were not allowed to serve aboard submarines until reading the CNN story, and I wondered why they were not allowed to serve there when women were initially allowed to enlist in the late 1970s.
