At Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, students were bummed out about the ongoing tissue issue: the toilet paper is too thin.
The university had changed to one-ply to save some money. But students have complained about the one-ply toilet paper for months, if not years. They鈥檝e cried for the two-ply. Thick, luxurious toilet paper for all! More cushion for the tush, you know.
鈥淚t feels like a pine cone. I don鈥檛 appreciate the way that the toilet paper feels for $50,000 a year,鈥� Cory Wegner, a senior, 鈥淚 feel like we can afford better.鈥�
Students 鈥� and others 鈥� have sounded off on Twitter about the thin toilet tissue.

Getting to the bottom of the TP matter
The TP issue was in the toilet. Finally, this week, something was done about it.
TCU鈥檚 Student Government Association passed a resolution this week that urges the university to change from one-ply to two-ply.
University administrators are now expressing support for the change back to the thicker paper.
鈥淥ne part of the issue is a simple comfort factor,鈥� student Luke Baldwin 鈥淵ou just can鈥檛 put a price tag on single ply versus double ply. You鈥檝e got to think what鈥檚 more comfortable for the person using it.鈥�

TCU isn't alone. Last year, decided to use two-ply toilet paper.
At TCU, the students feel flush with success. And now the university is attracting a lot of attention:
wait. hold up. TCU was really on the news because we are asking for better toilet paper...?
