Students and employees traveling abroad will now have experts providing services from health care to political evacuations under guidance of TCU, an official in the Center for International Studies, TCU Abroad said.

TCU signed a contract with International SOS, an international emergency service provider, so students and employees who are studying or conducting research abroad with TCU will benefit from emergency medical, personal, travel, legal and security assistance services, said Tracy Williams, associate director for the Center for International Studies, TCU Abroad.

New tailgating policies have some members of fraternities and sororities looking to make alternative plans, Greek leaders said.

Troy Pickering, Phi Delta Theta social chair, said his fraternity has no formal plans for this weekend's home opener, but said he suspects many members of legal drinking age will take part in pregame festivities at local bars or attend other informal gatherings.

Pickering said he understands the university's policy but fears it will affect game attendance. He said he wishes there were a way to keep all students on campus.

Even though funds were allocated for it, a Frisbee golf course won't be built on campus.

A student proposal to build a Frisbee golf course was dismissed by the administration because of safety concerns, a Student Government Association official said.

The university will mark the grand finale of the Brown-Lupton University Union Grand Opening Week today with a performance by country singer and Texas native Pat Green.

Programming Council chair Kristen Chapman said the Student Government Association landed Pat Green back in January.

"I am very excited," Chapman said. "We have been looking forward to having Pat Green here for a long time."

Last week's Democratic National Convention in Denver showcased the first time many Americans got a glimpse of Barack Obama's running mate, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware.

Like any good patriot, I believe an open dialogue about political issues is necessary for the health of our nation. Therefore, let me express my outrage that Obama passed up on the most obvious choice for his potential vice president: Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps.

TCU Club Sports teams now have permission to pay head coaches if they choose. The decision to give coaches payments is left up to each sport.

Coaches still have the option to volunteer for a team if they feel the payment is unnecessary. The payment that coaches can earn will come from the club's dues to cover the cost. If coaches do agree to get paid, each club can get in touch with Cristie Carpenter , the associate director of programs, to arrange the payment.
