Hurricane Katrina may have ended in August, but its effects live on, say TCU faculty members and community workers.The Sociology Society is sponsoring a lecture on the current and future situations of Hurricane Katrina evacuees at 5 p.m. today in the Woodson Room, rooms 207 and 209 of the Brown-Lupton Student Center.

More than 10,000 evacuees are settling in Fort Worth and although the city is moving the evacuees into housing, their futures are unclear, said Jean Giles-Sims, a sociology professor and a coordinator of the event.

Bay-area band Rogue Wave returns with album "Descended Like Vultures," the follow-up to 2004's "Out of the Shadow." From the first few notes, it's clear this Sub Pop band has taken another step forward.

More mature that its predecessor, "Descended Like Vultures" pulls from a wide variety of styles. Some elements recall memories of early Pavement whereas others seem at home with contemporaries The Shins.

"How cool are you? You're on Facebook!" a TCU professor's stepson told her after he found her profile on the popular Web site.Almost 7,500 TCU accounts are registered on Facebook, a Web site students check as often as their e-mail.

But the Facebook is not reserved for students only.

Fourteen faculty members are registered on Facebook; Nine joined this semester.

Carol Thompson, an associate professor of sociology, is a TCU faculty member on Facebook and is seen as "cool" by her stepson at the University of California, Berkeley.

How are we supposed to save money on gas when the city deprives us of the most basic alternatives?The lack of sidewalks and bike lanes along the streets of Fort Worth is appalling. Bike lanes simply do not exist in this city. As I travel down South Hulen, I notice the sporadic placing of sidewalks - they exist in front of Compass Bank but stop at the end of its property.

This is a pattern throughout the southwest portion of the city.

After reading "Time to grow up: Limits not suitable for 18+," I felt the article served as little more than as bitter diatribe.I understood its point, but I felt the argument lacked substance. However,...

The "encouraging" Brite Divinity School professor Russell W. Dalton was inaugurated Tuesday as the associate professor of Christian education during his second year at Brite."It's been a while since Brite has had a Christian education professor," Dalton said. "I want to inspire students to be aware of Christian education."

At Brite, Dalton has taught classes such as youth ministries, ministries with children, ministry in the digital culture and faith and film.

Although Rosa Parks went to jail for defending her own dignity, her actions influenced the TCU community 10 years later. In 1964, the TCU Board of Trustees allowed the university to accept students of races other than white.Rosa Parks died Monday of natural causes at the age of 92.

James Riddlesperger, chairman of the political science department, said Rosa Parks is a testimony to an average person making a difference in the world.

"She never set out to be a civil rights leader," Riddlesperger said. "She just was a common working wife and mother."

The culmination of four weeks of fall practice, the Purple and White World Series, will begin today at 3:15 p.m. at Lupton Stadium. The five-game series will last through Sunday.Sophomore catcher Andrew Walker said he is looking forward to separating into teams and the increased competition between players that will come with the split.

"It'll be fun to get out here and divide up into teams," Walker said. "It's a real competitive atmosphere instead of just doing the same drills every single day. It's a lot more fun."
