Semester Flashback
remember when ...

“I think we upheld TCU’s tradition nicely. The Texas Relays are a big, high-profile meet. It’s the first of four big outdoor meets for us, including the Penn Relays, the conference championships and hopefully, the NCAA Championships at the end of the year.” — Head track coach Monte Stratton, on his team’s showing at the Texas Relays

When the semester began more than three months ago, the “Texas Seven” were the talk of the nation, President George W. Bush was awaiting his inauguration and the men’s basketball team had two more members.

“The celebration was more special than I ever could have imagined. I’m going to miss that feeling of getting up for the big games, but most of all, I’m going to miss my teammates.” — Jill Sutton, at Senior Night, the last women’s basketball home game

Since then, there has been much activity on and around TCU’s campus. Downtown Fort Worth marked the one-year anniversary of the tornado that caused millions of dollars of damage. LaDainian Tomlinson was awarded the Doak Walker trophy, and he was drafted Saturday by the San Diego Chargers.

Junior guard Greedy Daniels and senior forward Myron Anthony were dismissed from the men’s basketball team, while the women’s basketball team won the Western Athletic Conference Championship and appeared in its first NCAA Tournament. The men’s track team was ranked No. 1 in Trackwire Top 25.

In other campus news, South American artifacts valuing $267,700 were reported missing from the library in February and were recovered by the TCU Police earlier this month.

Eighties pop superstar Tiffany performed last month before a crowd packed into the Student Center Lounge. Outside of class, students found other ways to entertain themselves, including participating in Greek philanthropy events like Pi Kappa Phi’s PUSH America and residence hall socials like Sherley Hall’s food fight.

As the spring semester draws to a close, take time to look back and remember the events of yesterday. It won’t be long before all you have from your days at TCU are memories, photos and old college newspapers.

“This has probably been my biggest challenge. You never know what life is going to give you, and this was devastating, but everything has just gone great. We have been managing great, and the building looks better than ever.” — Dee Knight, Mallick Tower’s property manager since 1974, on the tower’s reconstruction after the 2000 tornado
