Organization to help stay cats on campus seeks official recognition

Published Oct 31, 2008

Librarian Cari Alexander had no idea how difficult helping TCU's local strays would be when she developed Frogs and Cats Together, a feral cat organization, four years ago.

Frogs and Cats Together at TCU aims to lower the feral cat population by conducting a trap, neuter and release program. In this program, stray cats are spayed or neutered and released back into the community in an attempt to keep them from breeding.

Culpepper should be attracting more attention

Published Oct 31, 2008

Daunte Culpepper is a weird guy.

In the past he has fired his agent, become his own agent, declared himself 80 percent healthy, declared himself 100 percent healthy, tried to package himself with Randy Moss and most recently, decided he is ready to return to football.



His fickle personality aside, however, he is a serviceable quarterback, which leads me to ask a question: Why hasn't he been signed to a roster during a season that has seen more high profile QB injuries than any in recent memory?

Student entrepreneur shows creativity in creating online bookstore

Published Oct 31, 2008

The Neeley School of Business has a strong entrepreneurial background. It seems only natural, then, for the TCU Bookstore to have some competition from one bright business student.


Horned Frog entrepreneur Josh Dennis, who founded Frogbookstore.com, and a team of three, claims to offer 20 to 60 percent discounts off the Barnes & Noble bookstore on campus and free delivery straight to the student's door, provided it's in the TCU area. Students just type in their course and department numbers and wait for the package to show up.

Published Oct 31, 2008

Donations from TCU faculty to presidential campaigns have nothing to do with the way students are taught, several professors said.


The site fundrace.huffingtonpost.com showed that on the list of individual donors who identified their employer as "Texas Christian University" or "TCU" there were five Republican donors, who gave a total of $4,231, and 13 Democratic donors who gave a total of $13,634.

Student competing with TCU bookstore by starting online business

Published Oct 31, 2008

The TCU Barnes and Noble Bookstore is facing competition from students offering to sell cheaper books and deliver them for free.


Josh Dennis, founder of Frogbookstore.com, said expensive books at the TCU Bookstore prompted him to start his own business, which launched last week.


"I want to help students and created a business that makes it easier and cheaper for students to buy books for classes," the junior entrepreneurial management and finance and real estate major said. "This way students won't get frustrated."
