Dining Services' latest attempt to go green takes the university's sustainability efforts to a new level, and those involved deserve a round of applause.

A new machine is helping turn students' leftovers and other waste into an organic compost material. The compost material can ultimately be used as animal feed, and Dining Services is working to find a pig farmer to take the material.

If you think trying to book a flight for yourself is tough, try finding a flight for an entire football team. Don't forget about the hotel reservation either.

In his eighth year as director of football operations, Mike Sinquefield has been through what he calls "organized chaos."

"In less than 48 hours we basically have taken our entire operation, shipped it across the country, played a football game and shipped it back home," Sinquefield said.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy going outside and seeing the birds and trees. I also enjoy having clean air and nice green grass to play backyard football on. However, the whole direction the green movement has taken is what I take issue with. No longer is it about using fewer resources and becoming more environmentally friendly. It has become a socialist movement bent on blaming private business and corporations and trying to get them shut down.

Whenever anyone talks about "going green" nowadays, it's all about what we have to give up to save our planet earth.

I discovered my favorite eye shadow last winter. It's black as night and appropriately named coal. One of my favorite movies is "Coal Miner's Daughter," in which the hard working, humble family of a coal miner romanticizes the dark sedimentary rock. Those are the only two things I like that have the word "coal."

By 2012, coal plants in the United States, China and India are expected to emit an extra 2.5 to 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide, according to a study cited in the textbook Contemporary Environmental Issues by TCU environmental sciences professor Michael Slattery.

Financial companies are shedding jobs across the nation, but the Neeley School of Business expects MBA applications to continue to increase, a Neeley official said.

The Frogs were ranked going into their Sept. 27 game against the then-No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners.

After that loss, I wondered if they would be in the top 25 again this season. Then TCU hosted Brigham Young University last week.

That demolition of the then-No. 9 Cougars, coupled with losses by eight ranked teams, boosted the Frogs from the realm of the unranked to right in the middle of the BCS picture.

A Waco university's controversial offer of a $300 bookstore credit to incoming freshmen to retake the SAT is something TCU would never allow, several university officials said.Earlier this month, Baylor...
