If you had the misfortune of setting time aside to watch the three presidential debates and could actually pick out a policy or plan that either candidate supported, then I applaud you. The three debates were nothing more than chances for the two candidates to size one another up, all while hurling insults back and forth and stumbling over their proposed plans for America's future. All the debates showed me was that both were fighting for the common man.

Reflecting upon the last few weeks of my writing, I have found that all of my pieces revolve around one point. This point also happens to be the center of the environmental movement and shift in cultural ideology: values. What do you value? What is the Earth worth? What are you willing to give back in order to sustain the Earth? What are you willing to do to ensure the future existence of humankind? While questioning can lead to painful realizations, it is essential for one to reflect and consider our actions today.

The Horned Frogs went from unranked last week in the Associated Press poll to No. 15 this week and No. 14 in the first BCS poll that came out Monday. The Frogs beat then-No. 9 Brigham Young University 32-7 on Thursday. Junior defensive end Jerry Hughes had four sacks and forced two fumbles to earn the honor of Walter Camp Football Foundation National Defensive Player of the Week. The team was also named the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl National Team of the Week by the Football Writers Association of America.

The 2007-2008 season saw the women's golf team make marked improvement, but it ended on a disappointing note.

Although the Lady Frogs had three first-year golfers play prominent roles, head coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin said that she and her team were not happy with finishing in a tie for 17th place at the NCAA Championships.

"I really felt like we could've done better, and I think the team does too," Ravaioli-Larkin said.

However, Ravaioli-Larkin said last year as a whole was certainly not a disappointment.

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.

The university's National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter is one member away from being reinstated in the national organization's college network, an officer in the group said.

Dominique Akins, vice president and treasurer of the university's NAACP chapter, said the chapter, which was founded in 2004, hasn't been officially recognized by the NAACP Youth and College Division since 2006 because of low membership.

The university may have agreed to discount items at the bookstore after a Horned Frog victory, but until recently Baylor University was giving a bookstore break for something with a bit more baggage.

Baylor offered a $300 bookstore credit to incoming freshmen to retake the SAT during the summer. Baylor offered students who improved their scores by 50 points or more a $1,000 merit scholarship.
