The Neeley School of Business honors and leadership programs will host an event on social entrepreneurship today in hopes of teaching students and the community about using their business sense to make their world a better place, an event organizer said.

Beata Jones, director of the Neeley Fellows Program, said the event originated from the junior Neeley Fellows class because of its interest in social entrepreneurship.

"We have gotten the Neeley School on board to really promote the whole topic of social entrepreneurship to the Neeley community," Jones said.

The university admitted about 300 students from the wait list, about 200 of which enrolled, Brown said.

The latest fashion trend in communities seems to be banning saggy pants.

The Fort Worth City Council, along with a handful of other city councils, is looking for ways to get young people to pull their pants up.

Because actually banning saggy pants could be considered a violation of people's first amendment rights, city councils have been unsuccessful in creating city ordinances that ban saggy pants, according to a Dallas Morning News article.

TCU alumnus Carl Kozlowski thought he and writing partner Tim Joyce had finally found their big break.

"We were on WGN-AM radio in Chicago on a show that is one of the biggest book-related talk shows in the country," Kozlowski said.
