Howdy. This is my University, so I thought I'd update the info on it, as some of it was slightly incorrect, and the notable alumni section was out of date. I plan to update this more when I get more time, and I'll try to look at some other pages of larger Universities and get this page in a similar format. Salami swami 19:38, Mar 4, 2004 (UTC)

I can tell this entry was done by a fellow TSU student from its grammar. Edits to come.

I've removed the following: San Marcos is the only habitat for the endangered San Marcos salamander. I'll move it instead to the article about San Marcos (if it isn't already there). --Gyrofrog 19:19, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Moved from Texas State University talk page, which is now a redirect: "Texas State University has at least one famous alumni, Lyndon B. Johnson 36th president of the United States. Texas State was then known as Southwest Texas State Teachers College in San Marcos. Jonathan Hullihan, 2004 Texas State Alumni" -drivinghighway61 06:00, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up POV

Much of this text is taken directly from Texas State's (excellent) marketing materials. The tone through most of the article is laudatory rather than encyclopedic. I will clean up if I get a chance. Danlovejoy 19:29, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I did some editing to rectify this issue. I think it's to the point where the pov tag is no longer needed.Simoes 02:15, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics

Changed the athletics part to show that football actually plays in Division 1 AA not division 1.


[edit] "Party school"

I hope this was posted some time ago. While in the past this may have been somewhat true as far as the party school reference is concerned, the univerisity, community, and student body has made enormous strides in recent years to rectify this view. Many programs are now top ranked such as the music and geography to name a few. It is the third largest in enrollment in Texas and many people are proud alumni. It is an extremly up and coming school in Texas and will ,in my opinion at least, be a formidible university in the the very near future if not already. Though I can't argue with the Greek tendency, which I am not a part of.
