Computing anywhere, anytime, any place.Laptop computers have allowed students to take their technology with them from class, back home and to many places in between.

"Over the last few years, we have seen many people switching over to laptops," said CompUSA manager Matt Jackson. "The obvious advantage of owning a laptop is increased mobility,"

This semester, 2,282 students have their wireless cards registered on their laptops to take advantage of TCU's wireless network, said Dave Edmondson, associate provost of information services.

Nowell Donovan is back in the classroom for the first time since his promotion to provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs."Last year, I had to learn the rhythm of the provost job, and that's why I chose not to teach," Donovan said.

He also said Chancellor Victor Boschini strongly advised him not to teach the first year.

This semester, Donovan is teaching the introductory geology course, Understanding the Earth, and a graduate seminar.

Donovan was a professor in the geology department from 1986 until fall 2004, when he began his new position.

Members of Student Government Association said they are trying to get incoming freshmen involved on campus through a new program introduced this semester.The first group of Frog Aides were chosen Friday as a part of an initiative to help cultivate leadership and service, said Mandy Velasquez, co-director of Frog Aides.

"It's a freshman leadership program to not only strengthen leadership skills, but show them the ins and outs of SGA," Velasquez, a senior speech pathology major, said.

The deadline for TCU to respond to the lawsuit filed by Jacob Hernandez, former TCU track and field athlete, has been extended by two weeks, TCU attorney Robert Ginsburg said Monday.Ginsburg said he is not allowed to discuss the reason for extending the deadline because it is a "pending litigation."

She said she was not able to discuss any matters pertaining to the lawsuit because of TCU's policy prohibiting commenting on "pending litigation."

From its location to its staff, the Gunsmoke Grill and Saloon was a four-star restaurant waiting to happen.Owner April Simpson graduated college with a degree in marine biology, but general manager Jude Ross said Simpson runs the restaurant as if she had been in the business her entire life.

When Simpson opened the restaurant, Ross said, location was key.

"April wanted to bring a little class to the neighborhood," Ross said. "She wanted to bring a little bit of downtown to this side of Fort Worth."

As we come to the end of the first full week of September, it is safe to say the campus is buzzing with activity - and stress.At least for Skiff employees, but likely for many other people, there has been a barage of class work, planning for student organizations and, now, organizing help for Hurricane Katrina victims.

Excitement abounded when our very own Horned Frogs took down those Oklahoma Sooners.

Oh, did we mention there was a Student Government Association election?
