THANKS
Be thankful for all that you have

Parking still stinks, dining is inedible and tuition will rise again.

And thank God that for most of us, those are our biggest worries.

With Thanksgiving a day away, we think it is a good time to reflect on everything our campus has to be thankful for. We grumble 364 days out of the year about the most trivial of things, but the truth is we actually have it pretty good.

We’re thankful for the Horned Frog statue in the Sadler/Reed mall. What else would we kiss for good luck?

We’re thankful for the housekeepers. They clean up our mess.

We’re thankful for on-campus jobs. Most of us will never again have a job where we virtually get to pick our hours, get paid for light duties and not get scolded for being late.

We’re thankful students voted not to increase the $20 Student Government Association fee. Until SGA figures out how to use all the funding it already gets, it doesn’t need any more money.

We’re thankful for the dreamers in Leftist Student Union and Amnesty. We need people who pursue their ideals.

We’re thankful for Hyperfrogs. They make TCU sports more interesting.

We’re thankful the new Recreation Center is almost ready. We can hardly wait.

We’re thankful for the university’s donors and generous alumni. They’re making TCU a better school — and they’re paying a good bit of our tuition.

We’re thankful for Howdy Week, Homecoming and Family Weekend. Traditions can be corny sometimes, but they’re fun.

We’re thankful only freshmen and sophomores have to pay flat-rate tuition. At least not all of us are getting soaked.

We’re thankful that finals are only once a semester. We would never graduate on time if they were more frequent.

We’re thankful we have food to eat, a warm home and clothes on our backs. Not everyone can say that.

We’re thankful for you, our readers. You make it worth it all.
