Campus programs can't please everybody

Campus programs can’t please everybody

Published Nov 10, 2010

For those of you who don"t know, I play piano. One of the things that my piano teachers have told me is that repetition is a great way to remember a piece. Apparently, TCU politicians have taken this to heart. Every year, somebody running for student government tells me how they want to improve programs at the university.

While I admire their efforts, one has to wonder if it's all futile. For our answer, let's turn to everyone's favorite buzz kill: economics.

Don’t leave items in car unattended

Published Nov 9, 2010

As Sgt. Kelly Ham responded to a call for a suspicious vehicle in a campus parking lot, he said he counted 12 visible GPS devices on car dashboards.

He said when he attended the call for the suspicious vehicle, it didn't seem like students paid close attention to the warnings that had been sent out in regard to the recent burglaries.

"If the burglars don't see anything to steal, more than likely they won't break out a window to look through the car," he said.
