The recent branding incident involving Kappa Sigma members highlights an important issue beyond the obvious question of why anybody would do that. The incident has also led to discussion about whether the university has, or should have, the right to investigate situations like this that occur among its students while they are off campus.

The answer to whether or not the university has the right to exercise in loco parentis authority is actually very straightforward.

I'd like to again respond to Michael Lauck's column, this time called "Corporations and unions should have voice heard through ads." Like FOX News, he seems to be light on facts and heavy on pointless rhetoric. At issue here is that he characterizes liberals as the ones trying to expand government to stomp on free speech. Yet he fails to see just how bipartisan this issue really is. John McCain, the Republican and conservative front runner for the presidential election of 2008, was one of the main authors of the McCain-Feingold Act.

Just as the BCS settled, the Horned Frog football team signed 18 new players for the promising 2010 season.

Head coach Gary Patterson held a press conference Wednesday to discuss the new athletes and the growth of the program.

"We have gained a lot more national respect when you talk to kids about what they think of TCU, its academics and football program," Patterson said.

This class includes two out-of-state four-star recruits, Curtis Carter from Stonewall, La., and Ethan Grant from Coconut Creek, Fla.

The TCU Lady Frogs extended their record-breaking home win streak by defeating the Brigham Young Cougars 64-40 Wednesday night.

TCU has won 18 straight games in the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, which is the longest home win streak in the MWC. Their last home loss was against BYU last season.

The game began with the Cougars' effective press offense. BYU hit two early three-pointers and demonstrated its effectiveness in converting field goals into points.

A person could use clothes hangers for many different things, the most obvious of which is to hang clothes.

Others have used these household items to recover hard-to-reach items, pick locks and roast marshmallows.

More still have had a clothes hanger TV antennae or used the hangers to prepare hot dogs around campfires.

And, as university students learned last week, some in fraternities have used wire hangers to char human flesh.

While the football team came one University of Texas point short of the BCS National Title game, Jim Schlossnagle was putting the final players in place to make another title run. The football team reached a level they hadn't competed at since the 1930s. The baseball team has a chance to make some history of its own this spring.

The Horned Frog baseball team will open the season at No. 11 in the Baseball America poll, but there are three reasons to believe the team has a better chance to end the year at No. 1 than football did.

1) A head start never hurts:

The men's golf team will kick off its spring campaign today in Kamuela, Hawaii at the Mauna Lani Invitational.

The team will enter the tournament with a No. 4 national ranking but will face six other top-10 programs, including No. 1 Oklahoma State and No. 2 Stanford.

The tournament lineup consists of senior Travis Woolf, junior Tom Hoge, sophomore Johan de Beer, freshman Pontas Gad and freshman Daniel Jennevret.
