Defense classes full, additional workshop created

Published Oct 23, 2009

A surge in interest in the Rape Aggression Defense workshop has prompted TCU Police to add a third class this fall, an officer said.

Justice of peace wrong to deny interracial marriage

Published Oct 23, 2009

It wasn't very much fun last week for Beth Humphrey and Terence McKay, residents of Hammond, La.. This young, happy couple was denied their right to a marriage license by Justice Keith Bardwell. Apparently, Bardwell never heard what I told my own daughter when she was a toddler. God makes us all different on the outside, but we are all the same underneath; we all have the same heart.

Published Oct 23, 2009

TCU has come a long way since the fall of 1911, when the doors opened for the first semester in the current Fort Worth location. Initially, there were three buildings: an academic and administrative building called the Main, now Reed Hall, Jarvis Hall for the female students and a male dormitory named Goode, which was in the location of present-day Clark Hall. As former Emeritus Dean of Students, Libby Proffer's "A History of TCU" explains, those original alumni didn't have access to the ever-growing amenities the campus offers today.

TV show gives ‘circular’ look into rec center activities

Published Oct 23, 2009

When Brad Christianson arrived at the university in the fall of 2006, he never thought he would produce a television show about the University Recreation Center.

Christianson, a senior film-TV-digital media major and employee of the Recreation Center's marketing office, presented the idea this past summer to start a show called "Rec 360," which highlights activities at the Recreation Center.



The show was named "Rec 360" because it gave a "circular look at Campus Recreation," Jay Iorizzo, associate director of Campus Recreation facilities, wrote in an e-mail.
