Beef recall won’t affect TCU, Dining Service representative says

By Valerie Hannon on February 19th, 2008

The beef at TCU’s dining facilities is not among 143 million pounds recalled by a California company after an order from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the marketing manager for Dining Services said.

Ligia Abato, marketing manager for Dining Services, said TCU does not receive meat from the Westland/Hallmark Meat Co., which was recalled Sunday because of concerns that cattle were not properly inspected. The amount of beef available in dining facilities has remained the same, Abato said.

“Our meat forces are secure and have been handled properly,” Abato said. “Everything here is a quality product.”

Anthony Owens, director of media relations for Sodexho USA, said Westland/Hallmark is not an approved supplier for the company. Owens said some Sodexho cafeterias in K-12 schools that receive meat from the National School Lunch program may have been affected, but it was difficult to get an exact number of schools affected because it would have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. No universities participate in the National School Lunch program, Owens said.

Owens said Sodexho was aware that there was a chance the company’s K-12 school cafeterias had Westland/Hallmark beef and the company issued a hold on the product Jan. 31.

Two former employees of Westfield/Hallmark have been charged with animal cruelty after a undercover video made by the Humane Society of the United States showed workers kicking and shocking animals too sick or injured to walk into the slaughterhouse on their own.

Veronika Terrian, senior history major and coordinator for student advocacy group People for Animal Well-Being, said factory conditions at farms can lead to unhealthier products. She said consumers can cut back on meat intake or choose other options such as free-range and hormone free meats, as well as voice their opinions to lawmakers to let meat companies know change is needed.

“As Americans, our greatest voting power is with our dollar,” Terrian said. “We can show these industries that we do not approve of their processes.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

TCU wins national award for “Frogs For the Cure”

By Valerie Hannon on February 14th, 2008

TCU is the winner of the 2007 Community Service Award in Corporate from Susan G. Komen for the Cure for its ongoing commitment to the foundation, said the chair of a committee dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness.

Ann Louden, chair of the “Frogs For the Cure” committee and herself a breast cancer survivor, and Super Frog accepted the award for TCU in a Feb. 7 ceremony.

“We thank you for honoring our efforts, and we challenge you to plan your own ‘Frogs for the Cure,’ ” Louden said in her acceptance speech. “You can’t have Super Frog, but you most certainly can have the plan.”

“The fact that TCU has been involved has been important to me because it’s something I’ve been through,” Louden said. “But it will continue to be important because it will continue to impact many more people.”

Louden said the award was for TCU’s ongoing support of the Tarrent County affiliate of Susan G. Komen. For example, when a tornado caused destruction in downtown Fort Worth in 2000, TCU opened its campus for the foundation’s annual Race for the Cure to insure that the event still took place.

Louden said she estimated about 20 TCU representatives attended the ceremony, many of them wearing pink “Frogs For the Cure” t-shirts. Staff from the TCU Bookstore also came and distributed merchandise at the event. Nancy Brinker, the founder of the Komen Foundation, was the keynote speaker at the ceremony.

The first “Frogs for the Cure” event was held in Fall 2005, Louden said. Since then, Louden said that TCU has raised $40,000 for the Komen foundation.

Dutch Meyer helped spur

By Andrew Chavez on February 6th, 2008

As a water boy for the University of Texas’ football team, Rooster Andrews contributed four points to UT’s 46-7 win over the Frogs in 1943. Sending in the water boy didn’t sit too well with TCU coach Dutch Meyer. And so begins “the Rooster Andrews legend,” according to his obituary in the Washington Post. Andrews died Jan. 23 in Austin.

Rooster Andrews

Meyer, now a legend in TCU coaching history, challenged UT’s coach, Dana X. Bible, to play Andrews the next week against Texas A&M. Andrews put one extra point through the uprights and had a field goal blocked against the Aggies. He continued to drop kick his way through the ‘44 and ‘45 seasons and after leaving UT eventually got into the sporting goods industry.

There are plenty of stories out there about Andrews, including a profile that ran in the Dallas Morning News in 2001. Not many mention, though, that it all began at TCU.

RecycleMania: Time to Step Up

By Rob Crabtree on February 4th, 2008

It’s RecycleMania time again at TCU, and after last year’s disappointing last place finish, it’s time for the campus to step up.

The competition will continue until April 7 and last year involved 175 schools nationwide. TCU finished 149 out of 175 in the 2007 race. According to the RecycleMania Web site, TCU collected 4.42 pounds of trash per student. The winning school from 2007, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in New York, collected 101.12 pounds per student.

Those figures are absolutely ridiculous. It’s time for TCU to step up to the bin and dominate the world of recycling. The Frogs not only had a poor national showing last year, but also finished last in the region.

TCU students need to come together and strive to claim the title as the largest recycling university in the state of Texas. Wait, that isn’t a lofty enough goal. Let’s go after the reigning champ. Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University TCU has got its sights set on you. You’re in the cross-hairs and it is are coming for you. TCU, good luck and go green.

Local Website Could Impact Presidential Race

By David Hall on February 4th, 2008

Godtube.com, a Plano-based Web site described as Youtube for Christians, could have a major impact on the upcoming presidential race, according to an article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The site was launched in August and has garnered millions of views since. A number of videos on the Web site center around presidential candidates.

“GodTube is helping to be that bridge, to get people from the world of the spiritual into the mission field of politics,” Republican candidate Mike Huckabee said on the Web site.

Chris Wyatt, GodTube’s chief executive officer, tried to organize a debate sponsored by the Web site, but the plans fell through. Wyatt said that he’s trying to set up another debate with the candidates that remain after Super Tuesday.

Wyatt said he can give the candidates a unique opportunity to field questions from Christian leaders and reach a Christian audience.

A poll on the Web site tracks visitors’ choices for president, and Mike Huckabee is in the lead with 36 percent of the vote.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton trail Huckabee with 25 percent and 18 percent, respectively.

TCU religion professor Mark Toulouse said in an interview with the Star-Telegram that Democrats are receiving more support from the evangelical community this election year. He credits the bump to the war in Iraq and the sagging economy, which are high priorities for the Democrats that have begun affecting the evangelical community.

More UDLA coverage: Inside Higher Ed

By Julieta Chiquillo on January 16th, 2008

Inside Higher Ed, an online publication that covers higher education, ran an article in December about the UDLA crisis:

Turmoil at a Mexican University

Despite optimism that Palou’s departure will bring better days for the UDLA community, some believe the problem runs deeper.

“Some think it’s not about Palou but it’s about the university’s administration, the Patronato and the board, not actually about the rector,” said Monica Cruz, former editor of UDLA’s student-run newspaper, La Catarina.

Luis Foncerrada, former provost at UDLA, said people are concerned about who is going to be the next rector, but the university’s priority should be to uphold the values that make UDLA an educational institution and not a business.
