Executive Student Government Association candidates will be able to spend an extra $300 on their campaigns in November after the House passed a bill Tuesday, 27-14, to extend campaign expenses in the Student Body Code. Kelly Barnes, sophomore class representative, proposed the bill and said the motivation for the legislation was fueled by the low voter turnout last year and the lack of advertisement options for less than $200.

Who will be the Horned Frogs' starting quarterback for Saturday's game at the University of Wyoming is questionable, but the team will look to a steady running back and a mobile backup quarterback to continue its success.Redshirt freshman Andy Dalton has started every game this year for the Horned Frogs, but after leaving last week's game against Colorado State in the first quarter with a severe bruise, it is still uncertain whether he will play against the Cowboys.

A rejuvenated TCU offense will get its first crack at a renowned defense when it takes on one of the nation's best units - Wyoming. Despite the University of Wyoming's strong defense, the Frogs look to be the favorite. Here are the probable starters for Saturday's game in Laramie, Wyo.

QUARTERBACK

TCU: Marcus Jackson, sophomore

Wyoming: Karsten Sween, sophomore

Advantage: TCU

During the weekend, the National Hockey League kicked off the 2007-2008 regular season in London with a pair of games between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks.My guess would be that only about 2 percent of Americans were aware these games were even occurring as the rest of the country hunkered down for a hearty weekend of college and professional football.

The fact of the matter is professional hockey ranks somewhere between professional bowling and competitive watermelon seed spitting in the minds of most Americans.

Sad, but true.

Engagement is in the air.Maybe it's the change of seasons causing these over-zealous lovebirds to take the plunge.

Or is it becoming more of a trend on campus for a couple to get engaged before graduation?

I just visited one of my great friends at TCU, who recently got engaged.

Naturally, I heard the fairy tale love story, the beginning of wedding plans and, for a glimmer of a second, I wondered what it would be like if I were in the same situation.

But as I drove away, I began to think rationally again.

You are in class diligently listening to the lecture. The professor is finishing up explaining a relatively obvious concept you - and seemingly everyone else - understand and is now preparing to move on to the next topic.

Your eyes wander to an individual in the second or third row, with a puzzled expression on their face, similar to that of George W. Bush in a debate.

Their hand creeps skyward as they decide they cannot figure this out on their own and have an inquiry.

TCU's newest acquisition is an import.Gavin Morrison, originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, has been hired as curator for the College of Fine Arts' new off-campus gallery that will be housed in the old Perrotti's Pizza location at the corner of West Berry Street and Greene Avenue.

Morrison was living in south France when, three months ago, he was contacted by a former colleague in Houston about the curatorial position at TCU.

"What I liked about the position was that everything was fresh," Morrison said. "I can establish the structure and program."
