Convocation '84 ff o A Good Start By Nancy Schmuhl At Texas Christian University the traditional opening of the school year occurred on the day of Convocation. Each year the university selects a spe- cial person to deliver the Convocation address. This year Chancellor William E. Tucker gave the opening speech. Chancellor Tucker was very enthusias- tic about the new year and stressed that it should be started with a positive atti- tude. He felt that we would have a win- ning school and so far T.C.U. has not disappointed him with our best football season in years. The 1984-1985 school year has indeed been proud and promis- ing.
