Not even two weeks into classes and the flu has already made its way around campus. As of Tuesday, there were 59 confirmed cases of the flu at TCU, according to the TCU Health Center.

Kelle Tillman, associate director of the health center, said about 1,600 flu vaccines – which are free to faculty, students and staff – have been admin-istered on campus so far by the health center and the Harris College of Nursing. Flu shots are also available at pharmacies such as Tom Thumb, Kroger, Albertsons, CVS and Walgreens.

Tillman said ways to prevent getting sick include increasing efforts to keep common areas clean, using good hygiene

and watching the way you and others cough and sneeze.

Junior chemistry major Gianna Mejia works at the Kroger Pharmacy. She said she is lucky she isn’t sick after being around people with the flu getting treatment. She said once the pharmacy sent out an email saying they were giving out shots, people started coming in.

“It came as a real shock when people started showing up with symptoms,” Mejia said. “Flu season typically starts in October. Usually, we’re prepared with all the typical medications for the flu when the time comes around, but since it came so early, we were wiped clean.”

Grant Garvin, a senior communication studies major, said he got sick the weekend

before school started and missed two days of school.

“It was definitely tough to be able to keep up with classes and to try not to get behind in classes, but fortunately I’m not behind,” Garvin said.

After going to classes Monday and Tuesday, he went to the Health Center and was diagnosed with the flu.

He said the Health Center told him to stay home until he was able to go a full day without running a fever. It took him two days of rest. Garvin said he received the flu vaccination earlier in the year.

Students were advised to seek a healthcare provider if they begin to experience flu-like symptoms in a campuswide email from medical director of the Health Center, Jane

Torgerson, on Friday, Aug. 25. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, feeling tired and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.

Students who have a fever over 101°F are advised to isolate themselves and avoid going to class for 24 hours to help prevent spreading sickness.

Tillman also shot down the longtime campuswide rumor a certain percentage of students getting sick would shut down the university. No rule exists.

The TCU Health Center is providing free vaccines to students, faculty and staff this week. For more information, call the Health Center at 817-257-7940 or visit the Tarrant County Public Health website.

A TCU student organized a protest to defend Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Wednesday afternoon in response to President Donald Trump’s decision not to renew the program.

DACA, which was an executive order signed by former President Barack Obama, was a program that protected young undocument-ed immigrants from deportation.

Mayra Guardiola, a graduate student in the English department, said she organized this protest because her family is

aff ected by the decision to end the program.

“I mostly just wanted to let people know, in

our TCU community especially, that someone is there for them,” she said, “and that they belong here and that I won’t stop fi ghting for them because they’re my family.”

The protest started at the Founder’s Statue and ended in front of Sadler Hall where students and faculty made speeches on the steps.

The protest consisted of about 130 people.

Protesters carried signs and chanted ‘Si Se Puede’ as well as other chants during the march.

Several faculty and students spoke out about the DACA decision in front of Sadler Hall after the march ended.

Guardiola said she was not expecting such a big turnout for the protest.

“It’s hard to describe the feeling knowing that so many people have your back and that your professors care and that your peers care and that they would stand up for you if push came to shove,” she said.

Guardiola said she plans to continue to speak out against the DACA decision.

“My main purpose is for the university to take an

offi cial stand to make all students here feel welcome and not vulnerable and in fear of getting their education,” she said.

LEAD ON.

If you enter the TCU Campus Store this semester, things may look a bit diff erent than you remember.

Follett Higher Education Group acquired the store last year and renovated the interior, the layout and the merchandise.

“It just has a more modern feel,” the store’s operations manager Sarah Wright said. “We kind of wanted to put our touch on it since we took over a year ago.”

There is new fl ooring on both levels, new fi xtures, a fresh coat of paint and a redesigned entry to better match the architectural style on campus. They also updated the store’s layout and purpose.

“I think we have a much stronger Nike

presence in the new remodel, which was something that we were going for,” said Wright.

Wright said they added dressing rooms, expanded the information desk on the upper level and added three checkout registers, taking the total from fi ve registers to eight.

Wright said she

believes all three additions will greatly enhance the in-store experience for students.

The TCU Campus Store is located at 2950 W. Berry St. on the corner of Berry and University Drive. The store is open seven days a week, with slightly shortened hours Saturdays and Sundays.

The Koehler Center has moved its labs from Winton-Scott Hall to the TCU Campus Store as a part of the store’s renovation.

The center off ers services to help professors enhance their teaching methods and adopt new classroom technology.

The idea to move the center to the bookstore was part of the initial renovation conversa-tion because the center needed more space.

“The place we have

in Winton-Scott is a wonderful lab, and it’s done us great favors for years,” said Romy Hughes, Koehler Center director for instruction, innovation and engagement. “But we have a greater need now and we have more faculty adopting new technology, so we need a space that could hold a larger audience.”

The new space will accommodate more people, cutting down on the number of workshops necessary in a semester.

The Koehler Center will still use the old room in Winton-Scott

Hall, room 108, as a conference room and for consultations.

Hughes said every Monday through Friday the new space in the store will be an open lab available for faculty to seek assistance. The new location is somewhat limited to the store’s hours of operation.

“If they have any events that want to go late into the evening, we’ll work together to make sure we have someone here to open that up and make sure it’s accessible,” store director Jason Smith said.

One year ago this week, Arkansas edged TCU 41-38 in double overtime. The Horned Frogs get their chance to return the favor Saturday in Fayetteville.

The loss was a turning point in TCU's worst season since 2013, but senior wide receiver John Diarse said none of that carries over.

"It's a different team on both sides," Diarse said. "It's not really about last year, but what we can do to be better this year."

Since last season, Arkansas has promoted former Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads to

defensive coordinator. He has changed to a 3-4 defense.

"They are running similar to what Iowa State has been doing," senior offensive lineman Austin Schlottmann said. "I've been looking at some Iowa State film to try and see what they are doing."

Patterson said Arkansas' personnel fits the new three linemen, four linebackers and four defensive-back scheme.

"They have guys that can run around on defense," Patterson said. "They like [the 3-4] for the people they are going to play as far as passing groups. It keeps leverages and you don't have to take on as many double

teams in the scheme."Diarse said the new

scheme does not alter the traditional expectations of a strong defense from the Razorbacks. He said he and his teammates will go and play their

game and trust the coaches have put them in a situation to succeed.

"It's Arkansas, they play hard from the first whistle to the last whistle," Diarse said. "On film, their secondary is

just as aggressive as their up front, and that's what you expect out of their defense."

An SEC atmosphere shouldn’t be a problem for TCU, who went 4-1 in away games last season.

"Every Thursday, we go in the indoor and we blare music so loud that you can't hear," Patterson said. "They have to communicate without talking, defense and offense."

Offensively, Arkansas has a three-headed monster of players at tailback. A full stable of running backs is the norm for the Razorbacks.

Patterson said his defense has its work cut out for it because Arkansas has a deep playbook that will challenge the Frogs in a variety of ways.

The Razorbacks and Horned Frogs will take the field in Fayetteville Saturday at 2:30 p.m. on CBS.
