Consider football student section options
· If you have been to a football game at any time during your years at Rice, you may have noticed that the student section is not on the home team side. Instead, it is directly behind the opposing team's bench -- all the way across from Sammy the Owl and the sideline with seemingly small people in blue. To the average football fan, it does not seem logical to sit on the opposite end of the field from the home team.
Minors programs call for proper treatment
· We are disappointed the Faculty Senate unanimously approved the framework necessary to create minors at its meeting May 10. (See story, page 1.) However, we hope faculty will adopt minors in a careful manner, recognizing potential effects of the new programs.
Growth spurt helps Health Services
· We are pleased to learn a much-needed full-time doctor and full-time nurse will join the Health Services staff. Most of us can relate stories of difficulties in scheduling appointments -- who wants to wait a week to see a doctor when you have a 72-hour flu? -- and whiling away afternoons in the waiting room.
Have a fun summer
· While summer adventures of going down to the ol' fishing hole may be but a memory of lost youth, we hope that everyone finds time to take a break from whatever internship or slave wage summer job they have to have some summer fun. Go to the beach. Camp in the woods. Watch ice melt on the sidewalk. Just remember, because it's 80 degrees in January at Rice doesn't mean you can't appreciate the heat.
