Michael Beschloss, an award-winning author and historian, said that only time will show how recent presidential bills affected the country.

Beschloss spoke Tuesday night about presidential history at the inaugural Paul F. Boller Jr. Symposium. The BLUU ballroom was filled with people who held copies of his books while listening to the speech.

The Symposium was held in honor of Paul F. Boller Jr., the first Lyndon B. Johnson Chair in American History at TCU in 1976, Chancellor Victor Boshini said.

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.

Police investigate possible connection between attacks

An attack reported by a female student Thursday is still under investigation.

Campus police Lt. Ramiro Abad said Friday that the university and Fort Worth police departments were looking into whether Thursday night's attack was related to a sexual assault reported Oct. 13. An increase in nighttime campus security after the Oct. 13 assault is still in effect.

Freshman students have had the bar set high for their Frog football experience. In one season, students have experienced Top 25 football for the entire season. The Frogs reclaimed the Iron Skillet and watched two Atlantic Coast Conference teams fall on their own turf. Students have been able to wake up to Frog football on ESPN with College GameDay in Provo, Utah. Most importantly, freshmen have not experienced the bitterness of a loss yet. But there is still so much more to come.

Students wanting to know more about the two candidates running for student body president can read their answers to the question and answer section. Andrew Pulliam, a junior finance major from St. Louis, and Marlon Figueroa, a junior finance and accounting double major from San Juan, Puerto Rico are running for the position.

Q: What made you realize you wanted to run for student body president?

Fifth-grader Dusty Leenhouts got to talk to undercover officers Friday. First-grader Magdelene Evans said police sirens were cool, but they hurt her ears.

The sirens didn't seem to bother third-grader Cade Curtis, who said that he might like to be a police officer one day.

The campus police department met with Starpoint School students for TCU Police's first career day in the Kelly Alumni Center parking lot.

Displayed at the university bookstore, the Frogs' new Nike uniforms have students and alumni talking.

According to a press release from Nike, the uniforms were designed with the inspiration of the Frogs' promising future and fearless attitude. Designers were able to digitally replicate the image of horned frog scales on parts of the uniform.

The Nike Pro Combat uniforms accommodate the evolution of the game of football, according to the press release.

Not since the Frogs played the Texas Tech Red Raiders in 2006 in a 12-3 Horned Frog win has Amon G. Carter Stadium been filled to capacity.

As of Monday, 44,358 tickets had been sold for Saturday's game against the Utah Utes, according to gofrogs.com. Standing room only tickets are still available.

The official capacity of Amon G. Carter Stadium is 44,358. TCU's average home attendance in 2008 was 30,389. The largest home crowd last season was 36,180, when TCU beat then-ranked No. 8 BYU 32-7.

The Student Government Association decided to announce the results of the student body officer elections in a new way. The winners of each position will be announced in the Campus Commons and a banner will be hung on the Market Square railing on Wed. at 2 p.m.
