as bad as the one the year before.
Good work, rock on.

Letter to parents:
Dear Mom,
At Rice today we all got together and
matriculated in the Grand Hall...
The major difference between Rice
and UT this summer was that at UT
beergoggles meant you were with a

If I'm now a sophomore, can I really
act sophomoric?
"Men aren't like most other people."
Monday is one helluva way to spend

a beautiful woman.

From the Thresher files...
September 12,1957 — "Ask most college students what their favorite comic strip is
and they'll say 'Peanuts.' Now, thanks to an arrangement with the United Feature Syn-
dicate and the Houston Press, 'Peanuts,' created by Charles Shulz, will appear each
week on the editorial page of the Thresher."
September 14,1967 — "Beanies seem to be going the way of all flesh; since the class
of '69 made its big splash, some of the glamour has worn off things. Name tags are a
good idea if you don't want to known forever as Hey You. And other than those two
signs there is little enough to differentiate the freshman from his elders, and that little
is being eroded willingly enough by the upperclassmen."
August 23, 1976 — "Oh, Freshman Week. Hardly have we moved our junk out when
we haul it all back in.This is a time when concerned advisors take the innocent
freshpeople under the wings and show them all the things you won't find in any Rice
handbook Not that intentions are completely pure. This is a good time to get a jump
on rooms, books, and freshman girls."
August 22, 1986 — "Faculty members voted at the close of last year to create a
committee 'consisting of representatives from the various university constituencies,
to design and present to the faculty a more fully developed coherent minor to be
considered for adoption at a meeting of the falculty next spring.'"

Times change. People change.
Interests rates fluctuate.
And the Thresher must also change.
Due to the discontinuation of Bloom County, a gigantic space has just become available in Rice's very own
student newspaper. Because the best solution that the Thresher staff could come up with was a 'For Rent' sign, we
decided to begin a grassroots campaign and let the people decide. So if you know of a comic strip not already in
a Houston publication, or live with an artist willing to display some creativity once a week, drop us a line at the
Ley Student Center.
Or if there is a particular column that belongs in your commons every Friday, or you can produce your own
quality critique on the Rice experience or beyond the hedges, let us know.
While the Post would probably not let us use Hints from Heloise, and an advice column from the GSA called
Dear Labbie belongs to the few and not the rest of the student body, there has to be something we all will enjoy.
So tell us about it!
