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.

YouTube is home to every great viral video, like "The Bed Intruder," "Star Wars Kid," and "David After Dentist." But besides these hilarious "videos du jour," YouTube contains a dark subculture of videos depicting self-injury.

In a recent study published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers studied the 100 most-viewed videos that appear when one searches "self-harm" and "self-injury." With more than 2 million views, on average, almost every video had explicit pictures of injuries, most commonly cutting.
