Students' unwanted chicken and mashed potatoes at Market Square could soon be dinner for the hungry of Tarrant County.

Melissa Gruver, coordinator for community involvement, said the Center for Community Involvement and Service-Learning is working with the Student Government Association to research implementing a Campus Kitchens program at the university. She said the program is designed to put unused food to use in the community while at the same time equipping students with leadership and organizational skills.

The implementation of a Campus Kitchens program at the university appears to be a win-win idea, but the administration should use caution before committing to the program.

Completely student-run, Campus Kitchens will allow students to take an active role in the local community by donating leftover food from Market Square to Tarrant County's hungry. Students are trained in food preparation and are in charge of taking the leftover food to the Tarrant Area Food Bank. They are also given the opportunity to teach low-income community members how to prepare the donated food.

Leaders of two student political organizations voiced their support Tuesday for students who voted in the gubernatorial primaries elections and spoke about their respective organizations' roles in the voting process.

Michael Bennett, chairman of TCU College Republicans, said members helped out with various campaigns and were at polling sites handing out flyers.

Fresh off their Saturday night win over Colorado State, the Horned Frogs are facing a schedule that will make it hard to close out the season as a showdown against No. 8 New Mexico on Wednesday night in Albuquerque looms large.

What a terrifying experience it must have been. Sitting in one's office, doing what can only be imagined as extremely tedious work, when suddenly a loud burst, followed by silence and then chaos as fire and debris envelop you. The government building in which you work has been attacked because of what it represents, something that some have come to see as an over-arching and overly intrusive force in society. The incidence of which I am speaking is not the recent airplane attack on the IRS building, but a similar attack that occurred 15 years ago in Oklahoma City.
