Registered nurse Rhonda Hughes will give a free lecture regarding health care issues titled, "Proactive Approaches to the Changing Landscape of Healthcare," on Wednesday in the Kelly Alumni Center.

Hughes was brought to the university through an endowment from the Harris College of Nursing & Health Sciences provided by W.F. "Tex" and Pauline Rankin, according to an e-mail from Holly Ellman, a specialist in the Office of Communications.

Hughes is a published author who writes on patient safety and quality improvement, according to the e-mail.

With global efforts toward sustainability increasing drastically, the university should do all it can to help promote green efforts on campus.

The Dream Machines would be a convenient way for students to recycle on campus, and providing incentives in the form of gift certificates and coupons makes that opportunity even better.

Furthermore, the machines come at an extremely low cost to the university, leaving administrators little excuse for not allowing the machines to be installed.

Senior catcher Jimmie Pharr is the new starting catcher for the baseball team, and has the task of replacing an All-American.

Last season's starter, Bryan Holaday, won the Johnny Bench Award for the nation's best catcher in 2010 before being drafted by the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball.

Holaday hit .355 with 17 home runs to help lead the Frogs to their first College World Series appearance in the program's history. He also committed just seven errors in 68 games.

Pharr said he is ready to step up to the plate for the Frogs this season.

About 45 students, faculty and staff members met Friday with representatives from PepsiCo and Waste Management about the benefits of recycling and how it can be rewarding with the Greenopolis Dream Machine.

Jordan Mazurek, a sophomore political science and sociology double major, said representatives discussed the concept of the machine, its purpose and how it works. The machine is a state-of-the-art recycling kiosk that provides recycling incentives in the form of coupons and gift certificates for local businesses, according to an article from greenbiz.com

More than 1,000 TCU students rely on grant money from the Texas Equalization Grant to assist them in paying for college, but the grant is at risk for funding cuts because of Texas' budget deficit.

Junior secondary education major Meagan Hall-Casey said she was a recipient of the TEG. She said she was concerned about the possibility of the grant being cut because it would stop both herself and others from attending their dream schools.

Attending a university is expensive. Despite all the grumblings about rising tuition, about the loans that must be taken out to pay for college and about the debt that students incur from paying tuition,...
