ON THE
TX'
TEXAS WESLEYAN COLLEGE
P0O. Box 50010
Fort Worth, Texas 76105
A midday sun pours
onto the seating area
in the lower SUB.
Freshman Kelli
Loughndge, political
science major, studies
in the library. The city
busline crosses in
front of the campus for
service to downtown
and throughout the
city. TXWECO is an
acronym for Texas
Wesleyan College.Reflection
was revealing. All
kinds of things turn up when
they get turned over. But on a
campus not much larger than
two city blocks, there weren't
that many places for 1,437
people to look. From any cor-
ner, you could almost see the
other three. A walk from Stella
Russell Hall, the coed dorm,
to the Fine Arts Auditorium
was but a few hundred yards,
nearly the entire length of the
campus. From the Administra-
tion building to the bookstore
was half that.
Hemmed in by
Vickery Boulevard
and Wesleyan
WEC Anue on
the northwest sides, Collard and Rosedale to
the southeast, the residential outskirts sat on
the edges of the campus. Remnants of a once
affluent Politechnic neighborhood housed Ft.
Worth's lower income community, rich in
distinction and spontaneity. Detached and yet
dependant on our college's presence and viabili-
ty, the locals peered in from the bus stop or on
their way home from Poly High. What are they
doing in there?
But perhaps there were those who weren't
aware of us. Down Interstate 30 the University
of Texas at Arlington schooled a student body
numbering around 21,000. The Tarrant County
Junior College system absorbed nearly 25,000
commuters on three campuses. At Texas Chris-
tian University, our private competitor on the
prestigious southside, the registrar was forced
to close the fall '85 registration the spring
before. Our own student population was smaller
than many Metroplex high schools, hence the
nickname Teeny Weeny College. Can they
breath in there?
Truth is, we had plenty of space and plenty to
do. Some of us were deciding if we really
wanted out. Many of us were still learning how
to get in. Most of us were trying to stay in long
enough to take something into the real world.
