The Interfraternity Council has added a new position to its office by splitting an old one, an IFC official said.

Grant Gossett, IFC vice president of student recruitment, said the council has decided to split the position of vice president of finance and administration into two separate positions.

A Philly cheesesteak cooked up in Texas probably isn't expected to taste like an original cheesesteak from Philadelphia - especially when the owner of the joint is from Florida.

Scott Wilkes opened up Billadelphia's II, located at 2110 West Berry St., eight weeks ago. Billadelphia's II uses the same ingredients and menu as the original Billadelphia's, which is located in Bedford, Wilkes said. Wilkes partnered with Bill Walter as co-owners of the two establishments.

Frogs jump to No. 4 in BCS after win over Aztecs

Frogs jump to No. 4 in BCS after win over Aztecs

Published Nov 10, 2009

The Frogs (9-0, 5-0) took another step toward BCS paydirt Saturday with their convincing 55-12 win over the San Diego State Aztecs.

The team jumped from No. 6 in the BCS standing to No. 4 when the polls came out Sunday. The Frogs' jump was caused by then-No. 4 Iowa's 17-10 loss to Northwestern combined with No. 5 Cincinnati's narrow 47-45 win over Connecticut, which caused the Bearcats to remain stagnant in the rankings. TCU was also ranked at No. 4 in the AP and USA Today polls Sunday.
