All new construction on campus will be built to higher energy efficiency and sustainability standards under an agreement the chancellor signed along with a coalition of college and university leaders.

Under the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, which Chancellor Victor Boschini signed last spring, TCU has created a committee to oversee the implementation of eco-friendly construction and sustainable materials, headed by Provost Nowell Donovan and made up of other faculty and students.

Congress said "yes," and the president did too.

Legislators hope the College Opportunity and Affordability Act of 2008 - passed in July - will make higher education more financially feasible for all, but university officials expressed reservations about certain aspects of the law.

The soccer team is back on the pitch, and after the season opener this young team is ready for a successful season.

Junior forward Lizzy Karoly scored twice on six shots and had an assist in the season-opening 5-0 win against Stephen F. Austin on Friday night.

"It was important to come out and set the tone for the rest of the season," Karoly said.

And set the tone is what the team did, scoring twice in the first 10:15 into the match.

Once again, TCU has more students wanting a place on campus to lay their heads than spaces available.

It's no surprise that there is such a demand for housing. With gas prices still high, there's no need for a long commute, and residence halls promote much needed community and consistency for students during a time where they are undergoing one of the biggest transitions of their lives.

Being Wiki savvy: Is it helping or hurting?

Waiting to check out at the grocery store and examining national magazines, one can get up to date on the current affairs of our country. Before the transaction is final and the electronic signature completed, the careful observer of magazine covers will know who delivered a baby, who is undergoing drug rehabilitation and most importantly, what newfangled romances were kindled or irretrievably squashed over the weekend.
