Text-alert system a success

Published Mar 7, 2008

At about 2 p.m. Thursday, the TCU ALERT program notified students that because of weather all classes were canceled for the rest of the day.

All students who are signed up for the alert system received text messages with the news, in addition to the usual e-mail notification.



The message, while possibly too late for some students traveling to their 2 p.m. classes, was timely and efficient in informing students of the dangerous traveling conditions and class cancellations.

Texas two-step brings raucous caucus

Published Mar 7, 2008

The street was jammed with cars and pedestrians jogging across the road to avoid oncoming traffic. Many men and women were waiting in their cars, listening to the radio while switching out placeholders in the seemingly-endless line. Those waiting in line talked of the crisp, cool air and the need for a little more security. Shouldn't there be police?


Inside the cramped, stuffy one-story building, confusion was apparent and frustration threatened to surface. More than 100 people crammed into the space within minutes, wondering aloud where to go and what to do.

Construction hammers away students’ memories

Published Mar 7, 2008

Years from now, when I think back about my college campus, my first thoughts will not be beautiful, spread-out green lawns or the sounds of students conversing and laughing. My thoughts will be the loud buzzing of jackhammers, the beeping dump trucks, construction workers yelling at traffic and heaps of fresh soil piled on the lawn where I would leave our touch football games early to head across the street to the bars luring me in with their bright, neon lights.

Law enforcement prepares for underage drinking during Spring Break

Published Mar 6, 2008

With Spring Break days away, some minors may be hoping to have lady luck on their side as they partake in underage drinking.


Some students under 21 still drink - many by using fake IDs.


A 20-year-old sophomore communication studies major, who wished to remain anonymous, said she has been using a fake ID for more than three years and has only had trouble with it twice. She said it's all about being careful.


"A lot of the times when I use it, I'm with people who are 21, so it doesn't seem like I'm underage or with others who have fake IDs," she said.
