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.

Small-town roots, love of chemistry guides Herriott
As one of three provost candidates, Arthur Herriott shares stories of his career, education and family.

Arthur Herriott’s first paying job was making photocopies the old-fashioned way. On Saturday mornings, he would go into a darkroom and use a mounted camera to make photo sheets. He could make about 10 copies in three hours. Eventually, Xerox machines made his job obsolete.
