Published Jan 29, 2008

Dining Services has been working to appease students' complaints about the new dining plan, but it seems they are still coming up short.


In the works is an update to the almost $2,000 meal plan required of students living on campus that would allow a certain number of off-campus dining points to be given to students when they purchase the plan.

Vegans have it rough in Cowtown

Vegans have it rough in Cowtown

Published Jan 25, 2008

In the middle of October, Jonathan Combs, a senior graphic design major, vowed to go a month without eating any product that came from an animal.


He agreed to be a vegan for a month as a part of a documentary film by TCU's radio-TV-film students.


Combs and many other vegans around Fort Worth said maintaining a vegan lifestyle in Cowtown is more difficult than it should be.


"It's probably harder than most other cities," Combs said. "But for the most part you can find places that are willing to accommodate you even if they don't know why."

Letter to the editor: Students should park on campus

Published Jan 25, 2008

I live two blocks from the TCU campus. Our houses have single-car driveways.

Many of us park one car in the driveway and one on the street to keep from shuffling cars around all the time. We are further hampered by having parking on only one side of the street on weekdays.



The parking problem is made worse by students who chew up the available parking. This would not be so bad if they parked in the morning and removed their cars at the end of the day. Many times, though, they come in the evenings, park and leave their cars for three to seven days at a time.
