ArtOrg, the student run organization that promotes its members' work and encourages them to enter local, national and international exhibitions, is hosting its first show this weekend, the organization's president said.

Simone Riford, a junior painting major and president of ArtOrg, said the goal of the ArtOrg exhibit this weekend is to support member's work as well as the organization itself.

"We want to promote artist involvement on campus and get people interested in the art community," Riford said.

So here we are just 10 days away from the first pitch in the 2009 baseball season.

Hopefully, you have done most of your drafts by now. There are some perks to picking your team late in spring training, like getting the most up-to-date injury news and finding out who has been optioned to the minor leagues.

But even those players who are going to spend some time in the minors are valuable as late round draft picks.

Club baseball team to face SMU

The TCU club baseball team will be playing at SMU 2 p.m. Saturday.

Sophomore Bobby Wilson, the president of the team, said the club is 1-3 on the season so far after playing both North Texas and Texas A&M twice.

Wilson said the team is well-rounded and has a good mix of players.

"We're a young team with a lot of freshmen and sophomores," he said.

The team's goal this season is to establish itself with strong play in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Wilson said.

As pop star Lady Gaga says in her song, just dance.

That was junior modern dance major Summer McGowan's goal as coordinator of her Project Junior Giveback program, Just Dance.

McGowan recently met with about 65 students at Oakhurst Elementary School in Fort Worth to teach first graders the art of movement through dance.

"It's creative movement; it's not actually a technical dance class," she said. "But it's something that just gets kids moving ... and introduces dance to them in a fun way."

There is something to be said when international students hoping to attend a university in the U.S. find it difficult to get their visa in a timely manner or worry about if they will even get one at all. A possible staff shortage, a plethora of forms to be filled out and a cap of 65,000 on the number of visas being issued per year, that have been known to run out quickly, are some of the reasons why international students are having difficulty acquiring their ticket to the U.S.

Mountain West proposal to benefit underrepresented conferences

The Mountain West Conference's attempts to pioneer a new format for crowning a college football champion should be applauded by all fans of the sport.

There is no question that the current system is flawed. One slipup on Saturday during the regular season can cost a worthy team a chance at playing on college sports' biggest stage at the National Championship game. The fact that no playoff system has been established as of yet is unacceptable.

The Neeley Fellows program is helping a local nonprofit organization recruit volunteers to increase support for those in Tarrant County with HIV and AIDS, a nonprofit official said.

Rick Isaminger, family health and education coordinator for Samaritan House, said the students are trying to get corporations involved with the organization in order to build a supportive partnership.

Aaron Siegel, events coordinator for Samaritan House, said the organization is home for people with HIV and AIDS in Tarrant County.
