editorial THERE'S STILL HOPE Speech attendance means students still care For years at TCU, famous speakers have come to campus and stood on the stage of Ed Landreth Auditorium or the Student Center Ballroom, present- ing their message to only a handful of students. Various campus groups would then criticize the stu- dent body for being "apathetic" and not in step with a positive learning environment. But sometimes, just sometimes, an event occurs that helps suppress these accusations of apathy. One such event occurred Wednesday night when Dr. Ruth Westheimer spoke to more than 1,300 students in the Student Center Ballroom. If students were to show up for any event or any speaker, this had to be the one. If any speech topic could attract students to attend, sex is it. Regardless of one's views on the subject, no one should have passed up the opportunity to see Dr. Ruth, and fortunately, TCU students agreed. So today, give yourself a pat on the back for show- ing the rest of the campus that students still care. Programming Council deserves its own pat on the back, too, for bringing such an interesting speaker to campus. Now, if we could only get this kind of turnout for House elections . . .
