He attended graduate school at the University of Arizona, where he earned a master's degree in higher education with a concentration in college student personnel.

Scientists have never seen an electron, physicists have never laid eyes on a quark, but they know these things are real because they can look in their microscope and see things happening - things that could not happen if they didn't exist, a rabbi told guests at Ed Landreth Auditorium on Tuesday.

This same theory can also be applied to the existence of God, Rabbi Harold Kushner told guests at the 11th annual Gates of Chai Lectureship.

When I thought of Josh Howard, the first thing that used to come to my mind was a rising star with extreme potential to be one of the best basketball players in the NBA. Recently, however, Howard has been rapidly losing the respect I once had for him. Up until a few months ago I would have said that Howard was one of my favorite basketball players in the NBA, but he has shattered that image by pulling the last straw and insulting something so precious to most Americans: the national anthem.

Nursing students are working with the local American Red Cross to provide medical care for Hurricane Ike evacuees, a Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences professor said.

Lavonne Adams, assistant professor of nursing, said the local Red Cross contacted the Harris College for volunteers.

"The offer was made to nursing faculty at TCU," she said. "There are some faculty already working with the Red Cross before they called so they made arrangements to take their students with them."

Students should be proud of their efforts to help those affected by Hurricane Ike.

Nursing students volunteered at shelters for evacuees and provided basic first aid care and mental health assessments. The charity wasn't limited by the bounds of the medical profession, though, as volunteers helped clean the playground and even took time out to play with kids.

On campus, the Kappa Sigma fraternity has also lent a helping hand for hurricane relief. The Greeks have since collected more than 2,500 cans, with an ultimate goal of 8,000.
