The Student Government Association is trying to adjust discrepancies in the plus/minus grading system, an SGA representative said.

The system was implemented three years ago, but not all professors use it. Senior political science and English major Carlton Alexander, SGA Academic Affairs chair, said this stratification led to grade discrepancies, causing concern for students.

The 2010 Winter Olympics were exciting, thrilling, heartbreaking and surprising, to say the least. The U.S. hockey team almost got the gold, the U.S. won the overall medal count at 37 and Apolo Ohno didn't...

The men's basketball team is ready to wrap up the 2009-2010 season with conference action against the No. 14 Brigham Young University Cougars for Senior Night.

In early February, TCU fell to BYU 76-56 on the road in Provo, Utah. The Cougars capitalized on the struggles of the Horned Frogs early in the game. They pulled out a large lead by scoring the first 10 points, holding a double-digit lead for most of the game and stopped the few runs TCU made.

Some say that any publicity is good publicity. Administrators at Texas A&M University-Commerce may not agree after the university, which doesn't usually appear in headlines, stepped into the national spotlight this week after several publications and blogs, including The Associated Press and ESPN, disseminated comments by its football coach praising players for reportedly stealing hundreds of copies of the school newspaper. The lead story in the newspaper was a report about members of the football team facing drug charges.

BYU (28-4, 13-3) won a lopsided contest against the Horned Frogs (13-18, 5-11) Saturday night 107-77.

The Cougars withstood an 18-4 run early in the game by the Frogs to pull out their single season record twenty-eighth win.

TCU head coach Jim Christian said the first five minutes was complete execution by the Frogs.

"We were playing the right way. We guarded the basketball right. Moved the ball. Rebounding the ball and then that was it we should have left," said Christian.

Things fell apart for the Frogs from that point.

Although the Lady Frogs have already clinched the Mountain West Conference regular season title, they still have more to play for in their final regular season game Saturday.

"Every win is important at this point, because it determines seeding for the NCAA Tournament," said head coach Jeff Mittie. "We are projected to play in that 8-9 game. We can get out of that if we can win some more games."

Morrison Wong called one of the temporary on-campus trailers his home since 1984 until this semester, when he moved into his new location at Scharbauer Hall, which opened this spring.

The trailer was not actually home, but where his office was located for about 25 years, he said. Wong, chair of the department for sociology and anthropology, said the trailers were supposed to be temporary, but when the master plan for the campus was put together a social science building was never part of it.

The art of cooking is buried near the bottom of head football coach Gary Patterson's long list of daily concerns, but when the cookin' is for kids, the list doesn't matter.

Patterson rounds out a list of "notable Texans" who will participate in the 13th annual Cookin' for Kids cook-off Sunday to create a winning dish to benefit Kids Who Care, a Fort Worth-based non-profit musical theatre organization, according to a press release.

Student nurses should be courageous and focus on developing health care solutions when they enter the professional nursing field, one industry expert said.

Susan Hassmiller, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Senior Advisor for Nursing and the director of the Initiative on the Future of Nursing at the Institute of Medicine, visited campus Thursday as part of the W.F. "Tex" and Pauline Rankin Lectureship in Nursing and called for nurses to take the initiative to lead new nursing developments, engage in their own research and embrace technology.

As if military spouses didn't have enough to worry about already, now they will have to worry about how they will pay for college.

Though the government only began giving grant money to military spouses last year, many would have already begun to count on that money to get them a promotion or a new job.

The problem here is that the government promised these husbands or wives money that it cannot deliver. Some were already approved to receive up to $6,000 in grant money before the program was suspended in February.
