The Horned Frog football team expected senior tailback Aaron Brown to be a big part of its offense this season. So far, he has yet to see any game action because of a violation of university policy prior to a season-opening 26-3 win over the New Mexico Lobos.

Redshirt freshman safety Sir Demarco Bledsoe also did not make the trip to New Mexico for the same reason, according to athletics media relations director Mark Cohen.

Cohen declined to comment on the situation.

Hillary Clinton's Tuesday night speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver was as effective as her gaudy, orange pant-suit. It kept my attention, served its purpose and was aesthetically disturbing.

This is a much needed change as the past few editions of the model have simply been large, soft and alloy Altimas. This was Nissan's shot at fixing this problem, and it has still missed the mark. I could sit here and ramble on about the features it has or needs, but, really, the problem is simple.

For the TCU theatre department, summer without Shakespeare just didn't seem sweet.

"A community that is as rich in culture and fine arts as Fort Worth, it needs to have a professional Shakespeare company," said Harry Parker, theatre department chair. "It's really a dearth."

Parker and associate theatre professor T. J. Walsh hope to help fill that void with the June 2009 debut of the Trinity Shakespeare Festival at TCU.

University officials from some of the nation's best-known colleges are pushing for lawmakers to consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18, but the chancellor said he is unsure of his stance on the issue.

Chancellor Victor Boschini said he is weighing both sides and has yet to make a decision.
