IM SPORTS FEE REFERENDUM
Currently, the Intramural Sports Program budget is working at a 24% deficit since its inception in 1993, under-
funded in training and salaries for sports officials and depreciated equipment. The Intramural Sports Program
is proposing a $5.00 student fee increase from $10.00 to $15.00 to upgrade the level of safety and service
to students.
UNIVERSITY COUNCIL
(choose 1)
Amada Armenta
Hi. My name is Amada Armenta and I'm running for University Council Undergraduate Rep. I'm
very interested in seeing how Rice works. As students, we should never have to feel that the
administration is unresponsive to us. I think it's very important that the administration and student
body talk to have open lines of communication, and I'd love the possibility of facilitating this goal.
Thanks.
Jonathan Behr
As a rising senior, I have contributed to the Rice student community in many ways. I already have
served as an undergraduate representative on the University Standing Committee on Teaching, and I
have also served on the Martel College Founding Committee. I am enthusiastic about continuing to
serve, and I feel qualified to be your representative on the University Council.

it is our life long dream,
To be Sammy the Owl.
Although it so may not seem,
We like to smell foul.
And yearn to be
Wet, sweaty and hot (wink, wink)
Covered in feathers and what not.
Tiffany Bludau, yeah, you've probably seen
How she acts when she's out on the prowl.
A fine spectacle she would be
Making Sammy a hot, sexy owl.
Jo Ree's, a crazy redhead to most.
She would intentionally cause a scene.
Definitely has the best sex appeal to boast
This girl could definitely support our team.
Julia Buergler, a laughing, dancing tool
Could give Sammy some new moves -
While she makes everyone laugh,
She could introduce some brand new grooves. (Ok, that's corny)
See how many talents we've got
How could you not want us for your mascot?
II you're not convinced that we're the greatest,
I'hen. whatever, everyone else is.
Vote Tiffany, Jo, and Julia
A spunky, lun-ft lied crew
Ready to be Sammy for you.
