TCU students and faculty are familiar with the university's mission statement, "To educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in a global community."But how often do they think about what it means?

Three faculty members - Gregg Franzwa, Jack Hill and Chris Riordan, from the philosophy, religion and business departments, respectively - will try to encourage the campus community to consider the mission statement tonight at a discussion titled, "The Mission Statement Revisited: What does it mean to be an ethical leader?"

E-mail inboxes were flooded with responses Tuesday after a chain e-mail discouraging consumers from buying certain gas suppliers somehow made its way to the entire university. To students. To faculty and staff. To alumni.The issue is not about how the e-mail was sent in the first place - it's about all of those people, not just students, mind you, who seized the opportunity to reply to all. Perhaps these people did not actually take the time to think of their discourteous actions, but everyone else sure made note of them.

One Sunday morning each spring, sunrise brings as much excitement as Christmas morning for millions of American children, as they spring from their beds in search of what the famous bunny has left in their baskets this year.Soon, the backyard is turned upside down in search of brightly colored eggs. The house is covered in foil candy wrappers, along with the infamous plastic green grass that is sure to get stuck in mom's vacuum.

The Duke University lacrosse team rape scandal. The deaths of 30-year-old IndyCar driver Paul Dana and 28-year-old Army women's basketball coach Maggie Dixon. The Major League Baseball steroids probe. Sometimes, what you're seeing on SportsCenter gets just as serious as anything you see on CNN.

When you see the harder side of sports covered on ESPN, you expect the same seriousness and respect paid to these matters as you would from CNN. Most would also assume the same credibility and autonomy.

People In Planes' American debut, "As Far As the Eye Can See," proves that a knack for the experimental is all it takes to bring a decent pop record to the next level.Hailing from South Wales, PIP's sound leans heavily on the same formula that fellow Brits Radiohead did on its early albums, "Pablo Honey" (1993) and "The Bends" (1995). The album is full of haunting verses and epic choruses that would be just as at home in a huge arena or in a small, hole-in-the-wall club.

Willy Mason's debut record, "Where the Humans Eat," is a collection of thoughtful tunes from the 20-year-old songwriter that shows an artist speaking far beyond his college age.The record is a fabulous bunch of folk songs with a modern twist. Rather than talk about folk standby topics like tall tales and politics, Mason opts to use the folk form to verbalize the 20-something experience. If nothing else, Mason is undoubtably the first performer to use the name "Ritalin" in a folk song.

The men's golf team wrapped up its play at the U.S. Collegiate tournament in Georgia Tuesday with a seventh-place finish - and a ranking to be proud of."I think we're getting better," said head coach Bill Montigel. "I think we beat some good teams."

The Frogs, with an overall score of 890 (+26), finished ahead of schools like Texas, Tennessee and Florida State. Montigel said not only did the team play well, but the individual athletes did as well.

Some might associate Greek organizations around the country with crazy parties, drunken students or not attending class, but many TCU organizations did not get the memo.TCU Greek organizations have been shown to have just as much success in the classroom as non-Greek students.
