Construction
delays keep buses parked
Apartment
project pushed back to 2006
Perrotti’s
Pizza reached an agreement with developers to move into
the new complex.
Construction
on a student apartment and retail complex on a commuter
parking lot near Berry Street has been delayed until December
so developers will have time to complete the entire development
at once, officials said.
Phoenix Property Co., who will be in charge of construction
on the new structures, didn’t want to open the property
in the middle of the school year for fear that the apartments
would be left vacant. |

TRAC
shuttle system faces delay, will start in August
Three
new parking lots will be built over the summer to help
alleviate traffic headaches.
The
construction delay of a new apartment complex near Perrotti’s
Pizza has created a bottleneck that will cause the debut
of a parking shuttle to be late and hurt Five Star Coaches
financially, a company official said.
Five Star Coaches purchased five buses for $300,000 to
use on the TRAC shuttle system, said Harry Noble III,
the company’s operations manager. |

Nursing
students will train on-site
Nursing
anesthesia graduate students can train at large hospitals
thanks to recent TCU affiliations with clinical sites
around the country.
The
TCU Harris School of Nursing has added the Sacred Heart
Health System to its growing list of affiliated hospitals
which will serve as clinical training sites for the first
batch of graduate students aiming for a nurse anesthetists
certification.
The CRNA program requires students to train on- site at
a hospital for 16 months. Training sites are vital and
TCU has found affiliations with ease, said Kay Sanders,
director of the School of Nurse Anesthesia. |

TCU
shouldn’t bar student drinking
Of-age
students should be able to follow law
In
Europe the legal drinking age is 18. In the United States
it’s 21. Yet, the limits that separate legal from
illegal and responsible from irresponsible will no longer
matter at TCU.
Next fall, students older than age of 21 may have their
right to drink suppressed on school-sponsored trips. Seems
that while the university advertises its ability to mold
us into ethical leaders, it doesn’t trust us enough
to prove that outside the TCU bubble. |

Frogs
out and feeling blue
DePaul
sends the Horned Frogs packing in the Conference USA Tournament
quarterfinals.
CINCINNATI
— Andre Brown might as well have held up a flashing
neon sign reading, “Give me the ball!”
Not that Sammy Mejia needed much prodding. From the opening
tip, the freshman point guard fed the ball into the low
post over and over again. |

Are
you being watched?
I’m
sure most students noticed a change from the routine over
the past few months. Among the normal influx of messages
from friends and university announcements, there have
been a series of e-mails detailing recent thefts and threats
to student safety. Many of these e-mails include a list
of helpful safety tips, such as locking your doors and
not leaving valuables in plain sight. These tips are valuable;
but by now, they should be common sense. |

Netflix
offers new way to rent movies
Imagine
an alternative life where you don’t have to leave
home to be entertained by movies. No lines, no due dates,
no hassling with people.
They call that the movie channel. But for those, who for
some reason or another have yet to embrace the idea of
satellite dishes and 821 channels, the Internet has made
chronic movie watching cheaper. |
