Don't save Dr. Eliot
· Faculty turnover is no new thing. Groups of students protesting the termination of a lecturer's contract is. (See story, Page 1.) And despite the size of the Save Dr. Eliot campaign to extend Kinesiology Lecturer John Eliot's contract, we agree with Kinesiology Department Chair Gary Wihl's decision to uphold Eliot's original contract termination date.
Bring back paper plates
· Earth Day celebrations begin on campus today, and Sunday is the 37th anniversary of the federal holiday. With all the recent fuss about the need for greener buildings on campus and Rice's initiatives to improve our carbon offsets, it would seem like we all have something to celebrate this weekend. So pat yourselves on the backs as you grab lunch at the serveries, and bask in the springtime sunshine by taking your lunch outside for a picnic -- on a Styrofoam plate.
SA: Make us care
· The Student Association hosted a Spring Retreat Tuesday evening, and the concept was as thoughtful as the execution was thoughtless. (See story, Page 7.) SA President Laura Kelley promised a spring retreat during her campaign, and her follow-through produced a gathering of four administrators who had many ideas and university plans to share with undergraduates -- it just did not bring it to students.
