Fans of Switchfoot rejoice: The new album is out and better than the last."Nothing is Sound," Switchfoot's fifth studio release, is catchy and masterfully written, probing the listener into examining today's materialistic society.

A self-proclaimed attempt at "trying to sing something true with a broken heart," Switchfoot's frontman, lead singer Jon Foreman, said the album stemmed from a verse in Ecclesiastes that says, "Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless."

When Susan Weeks received a call from the American Red Cross, she knew the Harris School of Nursing could play a different kind of role in helping the thousands in the Fort Worth area displaced by Hurricane Katrina."I got a call saying cargo planes of patients were being flown to Fort Worth hospitals," said Weeks, MS, RN. "Red Cross asked me to get a group of nurses together for Disaster Welfare Inquiry."

The third annual Jazz by the Boulevard Music & Arts Festival may take on an even more distinctive New Orleans flair with both musicians and evacuees from Hurricane Katrina in attendance.The festival begins Friday on the lawn of the Will Rogers Memorial Center in the Fort Worth Cultural District and will run the course of the weekend, featuring a number of local and national jazz artists.

Five former TCU athletes will be honored as inductees into the TCU Letterman's Association Hall of Fame at halftime during tonight's football game against Utah.Current NBA player Kurt Thomas, former MLB player Tim Mauser and former TCU football players John Nikkel, Jim Lucas and Dan Sharp have been chosen from more than 100 applicants to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, said Letterman's Association member and former TCU athletics director Frank Windegger.

Walk-on receiver Derek Moore has only two games under his belt this season, but it is hard to argue that he hasn't already had a successful season.Success probably came with one pass - the touchdown reception that first put TCU on the scoreboard against Oklahoma. Moore not only put his name on the forefront of the statistic charts, but he helped put the Horned Frogs in the national spotlight with their victory in Norman, Okla.

"I was just excited," Moore said about his big play against the Sooners. "I never thought my second (career) catch would be for a touchdown."

"They lost everything. They lost it all."Vernon Russell, a junior cornerback from Gramercy, La., said he did not personally experience Hurricane Katrina, but members of his family, including his parents, lived in the area hit hardest by the hurricane.

Russell said his family lived west of New Orleans and now has nothing to go back to.

His mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandfather and cousins are living with him in an apartment off Hulen Street.

The Horned Frog men's golf team finished second in the Cleveland State Invitational, and even though the team did not play its best, players feel fortunate to have seen the course that the NCAA Regionals will be played on in May, head coach Bill Montigel said."We will use the knowledge we gained to get ready for the regionals," Montigel said.

Sophomore Franklin Corpening said he thought the team played pretty well.

"Being a sophomore," Corpening said, " I want to try to help them get better and lead them to the NCAA Championships."

The employment of a female Froggie-Five-O student escort driver has drawn mixed reactions across campus, with some in favor while others doubt her capabilities.Pamela Christian, TCU's crime prevention officer said Sara Kinney, a freshman advertising/public relations major, was selected among some 30 applicants to escort women across campus based on her communication skills and her conscientiousness.

The lack of female professors in the business school is noted, but not dwelled upon, school faculty and students said.Women represent 16.9 percent of the full-time faculty in the School of Business, according to statistics provided by the Office of Institutional Research.

The college that is closest in numbers to the business school is the College of Science and Engineering, with females representing 25 percent of the faculty, according to the Fall 2004 Fact Book.
