TCU Student Body Looks to Be Victorious in Heroic Push for Two-ply Toilet Paper

A good politician knows how to do two things: pander to his base and, on occasion, be able to get things done. With that in mind, we predict a bright future for TCU student body President Cody Westphal.

TCU students have long complained about the university's abrasive, single-ply toilet paper ("It feels like a pine cone," one junior told TCU 360 last fall). But it took a visionary like Westphal to translate the growing discontent into actual policy.

On Tuesday, student representatives overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for a campus-wide switch to two-ply bathroom tissue.

"This is a big thing," Westphal explained to CBS 11. "You know, TCU has this reputation for the highest-quality everything, whether it is education, technology, teachers, students -- whatever. I think the next obvious step would be to take the step of quality toilet paper."
