New
restaurant to offer more dining options close to campus
A
new Western-themed has some area residents worried about
additional late-night activity.
This
spring, students won’t have to drive all the way
to the Stockyards to experience a true taste of Cowtown.
The new Western-themed restaurant, Gunsmoke Grill and
Saloon, will be opening in the heart of the TCU area on
Cockrell Avenue, right behind Fuzzy’s Taco Shop.
Construction began about a year ago, but an exact date
for completion has not been set, said Travis McKnight,
owner and operator of Gunsmoke Grill and Saloon. He said
he hopes for it to be open in April.
Neighbors who live near the location of the restaurant
are worried about possible trash and late-night activity
the restaurant could bring, said Keri Ryan, president
of Bluebonnet Place Neighborhood Association.
“If he wasn’t open late, it wouldn’t be
a concern,” Ryan said. |

TCU
meal card: Do not leave home without it
The
House of Student Representatives wants students to be
able to use their meal cards at local eateries.
A
burger, fries and a drink in The Main: $4.47. The same
meal at Wendy’s: $3.89. Being able to eat out on
send home: priceless. |

Bush’s
proposed budget not sound
Proposal
combines deficits, spending cuts
Bush’s
proposed budget is the worst of both worlds, combining
both huge deficits and draconian spending cuts. The hidden
spending and irresponsible tax cuts represent a mockery
of governmental management. |

Two
parties one in the same
There
is a presidential election coming up and, as usual, there
are no progressive candidates with a chance of winning.
What a joke it is that the white boys going for the Democratic
Party nomination are branded as liberals as if that were
an insult. |

Frogs
poised to set new mark
The
Frogs are one victory away from a feat the program has
never accomplished in Conference USA.
The
Horned Frogs don’t have the attitude you’d expect
from your typical 8-11 team. |

Sleepy
Jackson
New
Release:
Lovers
Sleepy who? This is exactly what I said when I was given
the copy of Sleepy Jackson’s new CD entitled “Lovers.”
But soon after I listened to the CD I found the native
Australian band was actually something I really enjoyed. |

Adam
Hood
New
Release:
6th Street: Paved In Gratitude
The
Adam Hood release, “6th Street,” is a surprisingly
palatable blend of pseudo-poppy refrains and folk guitar,
well mixed into an arrangement one would expect from central
Texas. |
