Men’s Basketball – Frogs start season with loss at home

Published Nov 22, 2005

Players and coaches shuffled into the press room after Saturday's 68-59 loss to Division II Tarleton State, perhaps looking for more answers than the reporters there to ask about TCU's first home-opener loss in 24 years.TCU fell before a Daniel-Meyer Coliseum crowd that watched the Texans (2-0) dominate the paint in almost every aspect. Tarleton out rebounded an overmatched TCU team 43-29, and Texans forward Mookie Works had more blocks (5) and almost as many rebounds (11) as the entire TCU starting five (0 and 14).

Jaywalking not worthy of law

Published Nov 18, 2005

Why did the frog cross the road?Crossing the street seems simple enough, until you watch students crossing University Drive.

Few complaints about jaywalking have made their way to the police, but almost everyone has either been witness or party to a group of students darting in front of vehicles so they can make it to Sub Connection or the Brown-Lupton Student Center 30 seconds faster.

Safety seems to be irrelevant if taking precautions would inconvenience a pedestrian on campus.

TCU Police can only warn students not to jaywalk.

Frog fans bid farewell

"The children are already fighting over who gets the spot when I die," Tod Miller said.

"We wish students would really consider the safety issues and obey the traffic devices," Williams said.

TCU's University Theatre will be rededicated as the Jerita Foley Buschman Theatre after her leading gift of $550,000 in the $1.2 million theater "facelift" project, said Harry Parker, chair of the theatre department.Buschman was a TCU alumna who was involved in theatre as a student and continued to support the theater long after her graduation in 1946, Parker said.

Buschman was a great benefactor of the theater for many years, and then made this gift shortly before she died two years ago with the knowledge that the theater would be renovated in her name, Parker said.

Disabled stadium seating needed first

Last week, TCU officials announced with fervor the $94 million improvement budget to renovate the Brown-Lupton Student Center and build four new residence halls and a University Union. Great, I think, as I do agree the student body needs a more functional space. Also, there is no doubt the campus has an overcrowding issue that needs to be addressed. After the expansion, our future educators will also be the beneficiaries of a multi-million dollar makeover to the Bailey Building.
