Although on the surface, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Leadership Conference, hosted by the Gay Straight Alliance on Saturday, was just a "leadership conference," it truly symbolized a marked progression toward inclusiveness throughout the campus.

The leadership conference consisted of 75 attendees, including students and faculty from TCU and seven additional Texas schools, and focused on suicide and crisis prevention as a response to the slew of gay teen suicides in October 2010, Jamal King, GSA president, said.

With the Monday campus visit of primatologist Jane Goodall and the announcement that Alice Walker, author of "The Color Purple," will visit April 29, the number of prestigious speakers the university brings in certainly is not in short supply.

These speakers are brought in for students' benefit, but sometimes the student body doesn't take full advantage of these exceptional experiences.

It's unfortunate that this happens as the diversity of speakers and the variety of topics ensures there's almost always something for everyone.

British primatologist Jane Goodall spoke to students at TCU and Fort Worth Country Day about the thread of peace, hope and harmony that humanity has with itself and nature in a private lecture on Monday.

TCU worked with Fort Worth Country Day School to co-sponsor Goodall's visit to Fort Worth. The lecture was part of a 10-week touring exhibit through the United States, hosted by the Jane Goodall Institute.

The lecture heavily focused on her personal history and environmental activism through the Roots & Shoots program and also spread a message of hope.

Thanks to the lack of cell phone etiquette, we now all know what you did last night, who you don't care for and just how unsafe your driving skills are.

As much as one person may care for another, no one enjoys the obnoxious lack of mobile courtesy.

According to a Feb. 25 Reuters article, a new study by Intel revealed that 91 percent of U.S. adults said they've seen technology misused, and 75 percent think mobile manners have decreased over the past year.

Americans love their pets; there is no questioning that fact. With the Humane Society of the United States estimating national dog ownership rates at 39 percent and cat ownership rates at 33 percent, many TCU students should have many memories with their own pet or one of a family member or friend.

Pets are extensions of each owner's heart, a source of love, attention, play or even ignorance and control. Americans play with them, walk them, dress them up, spend thousands on their veterinary operations and watch celebrities tote them around in matching outfits.
