Taking
the initiative
Improvements
to area around TCU should help with parking, housing
The
long-held dream of TCU-area residents and university officials
of a revitalized and tree-lined Berry Street is a few
steps closer to reality.
Decisions by the Fort Worth City Council will allow developers
to build town houses, restaurants and shops on the same
property, on the south side of the street from about TCU
to Paschal High School. The property TCU owns on the north
side of Berry Street was rezoned for mixed use in June
for similar purposes. |

Financial
aid looks beyond just GPAs
In
a society that has changed dramatically since the days
when returning World War II veterans enjoyed the benefits
of the G.I. Bill, which allowed them to attend college,
the importance of financial aid has grown. |

Dining
Services makes life easy
Being
a freshman is an exciting experience. You make new friends,
go to parties, join a student organization and, of course,
study. Food however, is just as important in college life.

Fountain has become a well-known piece of the TCU
campus. Students have circled around it to rock
out to bands, voice their opinions at protests and
watch movies on the lawn. |

Froggie
Five-O provides safety, Danno
The
Froggie Five-0 title originated from a joke between a
former TCU police officer and a buddy of his in 1996 as
they were discussing the newly-implemented escort service
provided to TCU female students. |

TCU
dorms: our second home
At
a school like TCU, where more than 3,000 students live
on campus, it makes sense for incoming freshmen to be
concerned with the adjustment to dorm life. |

Eclectic
locale grows more diverse
A
half mile south of TCU past Berry Street on University
Drive, lies a quaint circle that is tucked away among
older neighborhoods. The area, otherwise known as Bluebonnet
Circle, has been a Fort Worth institution since the 1940s
and is currently in a state of transformation. |

Student
Govt. makes campus life worthwhile
Every
Tuesday and Wednesday starting at 5 p.m. the voice of
the entire student body can be heard. The Student Government
Association comes together as a student-led, adviser-guided
organization to hear and discuss issues and events as
well as encourage active university participation. |

Limitations
to extravagances help
Heather
Spexarth looks frustrated as she opens yet another box
of macaroni and cheese. For the past four years, it has
been an all-too-common meal. In college, she has moved
into an inexpensive house, avoided shopping and taken
part-time jobs to get by. But like many college students,
even these measures will not provide her with extra money
for luxuries. Like milk. Or butter. |

On-campus
jobs offer students new opportunities as well as money
Walking
through the entrance of Brachman Hall is a pleasant experience,
as you come upon a friendly face sitting behind an office
desk. The pleasant experience is a standard in every residence
hall on TCU’s campus, as the halls depend on student
workers to help run the building. |

Study
abroad promises to fill gap in your college life
There
is life outside the “Bubble.”
The “Bubble” is actually what students refer
to as the “TCU Bubble.” One could describe it
is the immediate area surrounding the TCU campus, but
it is not so much a physical place as it is a way of life. |

TCU
commends student for exceptional service
With
the end of the school year approaching and graduation
right around the corner, TCU would like to commend one
student who has touched the lives of many during her four
years as a Horned Frog. |

Lady
Frogs finish season strong
Injuries
often plague great athletic teams, and tough losses tend
to stop a great team’s momentum.
This is true for most sports teams, but it’s not
the case for the No. 20 Lady Frogs’ basketball team. |
