TCU and the State of San Luis in Argentina signed an agreement in late fall to establish a graduate scholarship at TCU for scholars from the South American state. Up to 20 students may come to campus each year for the next five years. At the signing ceremory, from left to right, are Fort Worth Mayor Ken Barr ’64, State Gov. Adolfo Rodriquez Saa and Larry Adams, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.

Brite day

With five shovels of dirt, the 3.7-acre Leibrock Village began in February. The apartment-style complex, complete with a common area for meeting and studying and a playground for children, is named for former Brite Trustee Robert Leibrock and his wife Prudie. Official groundbreakers were, left to right, Brite Student Body President Nathan Digby, Bob Leibrock (son of the complex’s namesake), Chancellor Michael R. Ferrari, Robert M. Leibrock and Brite Board Chair Roy Snodgrass.

D G spells service

TCU’s Delta Gamma chapter hosted parties, played the piano or simply read books aloud to residents of the Lighthouse for the Blind’s Lewis House in Fort Worth, said Lighthouse vice chair Deidre Massey before presenting the prestigious Lumen Award in February to the chapter’s 1998 president, radio-TV-film senior Natalie Haas. Incidentally, Greek membership at TCU has risen in recent years; 36 percent of female undergrads claim Greek letters, 39 percent of males.

Stopping hunger’s pain

More the 3,500 pounds of food and $9,000 were raised in November during the annual Hunger Week food drive, which included service outings to the Food Bank of Greater Tarrant County, where students helped stock boxes for delivery to the needy.
