House
members look to boost athletic support, upgrade vending machines,
support Greek life TCU Athletic Director Eric Hyman stressed the need of student support for the men’s and women’s basketball teams Wednesday at the House of Student Representatives first meeting of the semester. Hyman said TCU students can intimidate other opponents because fans are power and they can make all the difference with their presence.
“When a team comes into our stadium, they get nervous about that,” Hyman said. “When they see the fans out here supporting the team and getting into the game, it definitely becomes home-court advantage.” He said the university wants the athletic department to reflect the values of TCU. “To get this message out, you have to separate yourself from the competition,” Hyman said. “This is where students need to go out and cheer our school on and show everyone that TCU is a winner.” Members from the House also proposed three new bills to SGA representatives. The first bill proposed the possibility of swipe cards for equipping the vending machines in the Moudy building for ID card purchases. The final two bills proposed opportunities for the Panhellenic Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council to attend the Mid-American Greek Council Association Conference. John Billingsley, House Vice President, said all three bills will be taken to the finance committee this week and will be discussed in next week’s meeting. “We just wanted to propose these bills first and take care of them next week,” Billingsley said. “Hopefully everything will run smoothly and they will be taken care of right away.” Committee chairpersons also addressed varying committee responsibilities and opportunities. The House of Student Representatives next meeting will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday in Student Center room 222. Raul
