Spring break is a time of year when many students enjoy being in the sun, a decision that poses many risks. According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer accounting for more than 50 percent of all cancers.

More specifically, the ACS reported that melanoma, which tends to occur at a younger age than most cancers, accounts for more than 4 percent of skin cancer cases and causes the majority of skin cancer deaths.

Heather Masterson, 33, a former TCU student, was diagnosed with melanoma when she was 24.

For many, Spring Break is a time to let loose and have some care-free fun. But some officials say what a student does in that one week of not-so-clean fun could have a lifetime of consequences.

More seniors will graduate in May with University Honors than ever before, something the director of the Honors Program said is another small but paramount sign the program is improving. Peggy Watson, director of the Honors Program, said recognizing these 46 seniors and supporting other honors students with more class offerings and programs is all part of an effort to eventually convert the Honors Program into an Honors College.

"I think it will take a number of years," Watson said, "but it is going to happen."

The Horned Frogs tried to find some type of March magic to extend their season Tuesday against Colorado State in the opening round of the Mountain West Conference tournament, but this Cinderella wasn't meant to be, as TCU fell to the Rams 64-60. Despite a career-best, 28-point performance from senior guard Nile Murry, the Horned Frogs (6-25) couldn't find a way to overcome a pesky CSU squad (16-14) that featured four players in double figures. Senior forward Judson Stubbs added toughness by scoring 12 points and pulling down 6 rebounds before fouling out.
