The Faculty Senate, in a wise academic move for the university, is investigating the course retake policy.

As it stands, students can retake any course and their grade will be replaced by the most recent attempt. There is also no limit to the number of times a student can retake a course.

Yes, this might sound great to students, especially those who may have slacked off freshman year and will be more likely to attend that 8 a.m. class now.

I was at Brite Divinity School on Good Friday.

TCU was vacant, but some of the Brite faculty were in their offices. I'm guessing they, like me, were there because of concerns about Brite's plans to honor the patently offensive Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

While I paced the sidewalk for two and a half hours walking around the outside of the Robert Carr Chapel, Moore and Beasley buildings waiting to speak with somebody from Brite, my wife and I noticed that the clock on the steeple of Carr Chapel had stopped working, and the hour still tolled an hour behind.

I am writing this letter in response to the comments the chancellor made about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright that were published in the Dallas Morning News and picked up by other news media.

Specifically, Chancellor Victor Boschini commented that: "Giving an award [to Wright] is another matter, and in this specific case in light of Rev. Wright's recently discovered remarks, TCU would not give such an award." Additionally, recently the Board of Trustees voted to prohibit Brite Divinity's award ceremony honoring Wright from occurring on campus because of safety concerns.

The TCU men's basketball team may have a new head coach as early as April 7, according to the assistant director of athletics media relations.

Assistant director Joe Monaco said the team hopes to have a new coach hired in time for the NCAA Tournament National Championship game, which is on April 7.

"There's no real rhyme or reason to the date, but it's just the best-case scenario," Monaco said.

Ever pretend to talk on your cell phone or finish the crossword to avoid talking to people sitting at tables in the Student Center? I have, and I'm ashamed to admit it.

During the weeks leading up to the March 4 primary, students manned tables and encouraged other students to register to vote. I was shocked by the response of passing students - none seemed to notice the table, and many didn't even answer when asked, "Hi, are you registered to vote?"

The women's basketball coach was full of hopes on his way to Lubbock on Tuesday as his WNIT-champion hopeful Lady Frogs will try to steal a win from Texas Tech in the third round of the tournament tonight.

Head coach Jeff Mittie said he hopes his senior-laden team's experience will give the Lady Frogs an advantage over a young Lady Raider squad that lists just one senior and includes nine transfer players.
