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. That position will be replaced by the new posts of vice president of finance and vice president of administration. Gossett said splitting the position should simplify each job and keep the workload from piling up on any one person.

Programming Council canceled this year's Battle of the Bands because of a lack of interest, a Programming Council representative said.

Emily Chan, director of live events and a sophomore strategic communication major, said the event was canceled because the word was not sent out early enough and because bands were not interested.

The event was scheduled to take place Nov. 13, and the final battle was going to be during the tailgate Saturday, Chan said.

In an effort to find a compromise between the Pink Out vs. Black Out controversy for the Nov. 14 Utah home game, the Interfraternity Council has voted to order 3,000 black towels with pink ribbons attached, said Evan Berlin, IFC president.

A Facebook event urging students to wear all black during the same game as TCU's fifth annual Pink Out game in support of breast cancer research and awareness, has sparked controversy across campus. The Facebook event was canceled after significant backlash.

From cross country road-tripping to backyard game-watching parties, students got creative in their efforts to catch the away games of the undefeated Horned Frog football team, a senior student said. Geoff Dice, a marketing major, said he and his roommates traveled to the Clemson game, but took a different approach when the Frogs faced BYU.

A recently-acquired set of projector equipment and a 110-inch screen enabled the three men and about 80 of their friends to view the game from their own backyard.

Because of the frequency and sensitivity with which the fire alarms are activated, students have been ignoring the alarms in the GrandMarc apartment complex, a GrandMarc official said.

Although the GrandMarc has only actually had the alarms go off four times this semester, instances like the one on Oct. 23, when the alarms went off at about 3 a.m. for a period of two hours, desensitize students to the seriousness of the alarm system, said Tobi Sander, the GrandMarc's director of community operations.

The new TCU uniform that will be worn during the Utah game Nov. 14 has been put on display by members of the Nike Street Team in the TCU Bookstore on Friday. The complete uniform is hidden in a large lockbox, which will be unlocked by one patron Sunday. The patron who punches in the correct code on an electronic lock and will receive a replica of the new jersey.

The bookstore is also selling t-shirts with a picture of the new helmet the Frogs will wear Nov. 14 along with a black "Won't back down" t-shirt.
