Students consider the pluses and minuses of a new grading system now on the way at UT. Also on this week’s Dispatch 40, one UT student has already made the grade – we’ll introduce you to one of 32 new Rhodes Scholars, from right here at UT. When students are away for the holidays they want to make sure their rooms are safe and sound. University police have free advice and a lot more. Austin police have new rules about the use of deadly force. If you want killer deals you’ll have to get in there early – meet a man who shows up for Black Friday deals 24 hours early! What did travelers find when they arrived at the airport early? Plenty of parking and no delays. The University is about to break ground on a home for a new media at the College of Communication. Think a cute new puppy is a great holiday gift? Think again – and there’s a move afoot to get animal mascots off the sidelines and back on the farm. We’ll put you in the crowd for the Texas Hex, a yearly tradition in the week before the Aggies game (which didn’t work!). Some Longhorns are taking the long road to raise money for cancer research. Finally, we have an emotional introduction to some of the soldiers who are trading the cap and gown for camouflage and a gun.
