Rice Women's Athletic
Coordinator Martha Hawthorne
has signed Victor Lopez as interim
women's track coach. Lopez will
complete this semester as coach
and will be a leading candidate for
the permanent coaching position
at the start of the next semester.
"Considering it was a mid-year
appointment, we were very lucky,"
says Hawthorne. "He has been
working very hard...and is very
enthusiastic about the women."
Lopez is currently working on
comeback victory over Ipswich II.
Geo I gained a playoff berth by
virtue of a 6-1 victory over Crease
Splitters.The scorers for Geol were

Mohamed Baeg with 2, and H. Ave

Houston, where he lettered four
years as a hurdler. He is a native of
Puerto Rico, has coached the
Puerto Rican National Team and
has had eight years of experience in
coaching women's track.
In the short time that Lopez has
been at Rice he has already
developed a spring schedule for the
13-member squad.
"[Lopez] realizes that because

last November) that there's a lot to
be done. Of course there's a catch-
up period, but he feels there's a lot
of potential."
Lopez says that the team's main
problem now is that many of the
runners are behind in training.
"My goal this year is to build up a
very strong team. The women have
a great attitude—they really want
to work. I don't want to rush the
conditioning because there could
be an injury, but the women are
catching up real fast."
WHAT A
DAY
On ' /Mi
After 15 interviews with various com-
panies, I finally found MITRE. And after 15
interviews.1 definitely knew what I was look-
ing for when I saw it.
I had to have breathing room. A place
that would turn me loose and let me work on
different kinds of projects. On the other
hand, I had to know I'd be able to turn to
other people for advice and backup. And I
definitely wanted a steady growth situation.
With the MITRE people, I knew right
away I'd found it all.
At any given time, they have some 75
or so funded, significant programs involving
several hundred" separate projects and
tasks. And because they're Technical Ad-
visors to the Air Force's Electronic Systems
Division in Command, Control and Com-
munications (C3), they design and develop
some of the world's most advanced informa-
tion systems.
Still, MITRE handles every assignment
as if it were the only one. Because they have
to come up with the right solution every time.
That's their product.
The best of MITRE to me is that they'll
let me move from project to project if I want,
or get deeply involved in a longer-range one.
There's always something waiting for me
I'm glad it took 15 interviews to get to
MITRE. Now when I say I chose them, I
know exactly what I'm talking about.
