Lace up your walking shoes and polish your Frisbees because a disc golf course on campus has already been staked. Student Government Association President Jace Thompson said the course is waiting on approval from the Physical Plant and administration, but after that he hopes the course will be ready.

"The course has been staked out and played so the only issue now is approval," Thompson said. "The students might have to take it to the Board of Trustees but they're willing to do that to get this course running."

This year, the university admitted more males than ever. Though this is great for increasing diversity on campus, TCU failed to properly prepare for these students' arrival.Fall 2007 marks the first semester in which both freshman and sophomore students are required to live on campus. With this in mind, it seems only logical that there should be enough housing for all freshman and sophomore students - no matter their gender.

Still there are 20 students without fixed housing and all of them are male.

For the past 19 years, a private foundation has been helping non-traditional students by rewarding them a monthly allowance in the form of a unique scholarship.According to financial aid representatives, the terms of the scholarship are simple: the gift is to be given to a non-traditional student with financial need. However, some non-traditional students agree it's not the terms of the scholarship that has them asking questions, but rather why the scholarship is not advertised publicly.

The federal government's efforts to prosecute members of a Richardson-based foundation that allegedly funds a Middle East terrorist group are misunderstood, said students who plan to attend the trial in Dallas today.

Sept. 11, 2001, marked the end of thousands of lives. It also marked the beginning of a journey the U.S. embarked on to conquer terrorism. Despite continuous talks of troop withdrawal, the war is far from over, and public opinions continue to change. Six years later, members of the university reflect on the changes the country has gone through. Are we further protected from terrorism today?

You squint your eyes hard. Your fingers grip the steering wheel with predatory intensity. The tires slide smoothly on the pavement, expectant. Any second now.

You drive through the corridor, looking for an empty space. Suddenly, your eyes detect an anomaly in the landscape. Your pulse shoots up as you step on the gas pedal triumphantly.

But as you approach your heart sinks. There is no empty slot, but only a vehicle strategically hidden between two others. An expletive escapes your lips as you rejoin other students - competition cruising the lot.

Technology is of good use only when prepared, organized people are behind it. The Mr. and Ms. TCU voting that was scheduled to be available on my.tcu.edu on Thursday did not start working until Monday.

Natalie Boone, assistant director of the Student Government Association, said the initial reason for the delay was that not all of the photographs of the nominees were available by Thursday. Then, SGA decided to hold off voting Friday because of the number of students traveling to Austin, Boone said.

Last year, on Sept. 11 and 12, the front pages of newspapers reflected and helped set the predominant tone today's date holds for many of us: grief. The New York Times emboldened "Grief" on its cover; "Grief Endure(s) Across Region" appeared on The Washington Post's; Americans were "United in Grief" according to top headlines from both the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Press of Atlantic City. From coast to coast citizens were united.
