COUNCIL AIMS FOR TOGETHERNESS

BY CRYSTAL FORESTER Stafl Reporter To help new students meet more people and enhance their TCU experience. Programming Council will focus on activities designed to bring organizations and students together this semes ter, said Fabian Morice. a PC proj- ect director. "Incoming freshmen are a great way to start to strengthen the com- munity," Morice said. "That is why we are trying to get them involved." WELCOME BACK Morice said PC wants to get the residents of Fort Worth involved with students to create a hond between the two. "That's the ideal goal, but we need to gel the community inside TCU together first and then advance to the community out- side." Morice said. PC has a community council meeting at X p.m.. Sept. l) in the Student Center to give students time to voice their opinions and iilc,is about programs they would like to see. Morice said. "During community council there is an open floor to gel stu- dents involved in the program- ming so we can find out what they want to happen," Morice said. PC hosts three major events during the year: Howdy Week, Family Weekend and Homecoming. Sebastian Moleski. a PC project director, said during Howdy Week planning, organizers evaluated stu- dent opinions from last year and made needed improvements, such as mining the activity fair inside the Recreation Center because of the heat. "I'm biased about Howdy Week, but 1 think this one was bet- ter because we look the feedback from students and expanded on it." Moleski said. Freshman Ann Marie Stro/iei. a nursing major, said she enjoyed meeting new people and getting involved with the events of Howdv Week. "I recognized faces, but not names, from Frog Camp and other events." said Slrozier. "With time I will get to know a lot of people because they are involved in the activities." Family Weekend starts Sept. 19 with a concert featuring a jazz band and closes with a good-bye brunch for the parents Sept. 21. Morice said. The weekend will include a pregame biirbecue. the Vanderhilt game, a fashion show. a Chancellor Reception and a shut- tle to Sundance Square to allow parents to experience the area sur- rounding TCU. Morice said. "Family weekend is for parents to spend lime with their kids." Morice said. "Hopefully, they will have a gixid experience with the TCU community." Smaller events planned throughout this semester include several small lecture series and concerts , Moleski said. "In the spring there was not a lot of events throughout the semester." Moleski said. "This semester we want to make sure that does not happen again so we are planning a lot of little events."
