Student Friends of the Cactus Cafe

When word came down from the UT Tower that the lights were dimming on the Cactus Cafe, everyone was shocked. Yet it was the Student Friends of the Cactus Cafe, spearheaded by Hayley Gillespie and Zachary Bidner, that campaigned against the closure, demanded documents explaining the administration's high-handed decision, and busted the myth that students didn't care about the beloved UT institution. And guess what? The lights aren't dimming after all. Score one for the good guys.
