NEWS IN BRIEF
Cardio room opens
The new cardiovascular workout
room at the Recreation Center
opened Nov. 6 with 15 new machines,
including treadmills and exercise
bikes.
Prior to the addition of the new
machines, the Rec Center offered
three treadmills and four exercise
bikes in the weight room.
Located across from the opera-
tions desk and adjacent to the men's
locker room, the cardio room was
converted from a squash court. The
$72,000 project began in March 2001
with funding from the Office of Stu-
dent Affairs.
"The cardio room was pricey,
but we at Autry saw a need," Assis-
tant Director of Recreation Opera-
tions Richard Barnhouse said. "We
were 50 years behind every other
university in the nation by not hav-
ing a cardiovascular room for stu-
dents."
Brown College freshman Jeffery
Silverman said the additions were
necessary.
"I thought it was strange that Rice
had so few exercise machines when
1 first visited. It's a step in the right
direction for the university that
they're adding more," Silverman
said.
Since its initial opening, the cardio
room has been the most-used work-
out facility at the Rec Center, with
peak hours between 4:30 and
9:30 p.m., Barnhouse said.
"It's an absolutely wonderful in-
vestment for the Rice population,"
Assistant Fitness Director Felicia
Cavallini said. "It gives students an
opportunity to do cardiovascular ex-
ercises such as running and bicy-
cling indoors any time of the year."

Interim Shepherd
School dean appointed
Professor of Musicology Anne
Schnoebeleti will become interim
dean for the Shepherd School of
Music upon confirmation of current
Dean Michael Hammond's nomina-
tion for chair of the National Endow-
ment for the Arts.
Hammond, dean of the Shepherd
School since 1986. will serve as the
eighth chair of the NEA if the U.S.
Senate confirms his nomination.
Schnoebelen, who was appointed by
Provost Eugene Levy and President
Malcolm Gillis. will fill the position
until a new dean is chosen.
Schnoebelen has been a faculty
member at the Shepherd School
since 1974. She served as interim
dean in the 1970s and has acted as
chair of the musicology department
and director of graduate studies.
"I think a number of faculty men-
tioned to the provost that she would
be a good person and I certainly
thought so," Hammond said. "She's
been here since the beginning of the
[Shepherd) school and has been a
very important person in the school
all of those years."
Schnoebelen is currently on sab-
batical, researching 17th-century
Italian sacred music. She said she
has been cataloging printed sources
of this type of music for many years,
but becoming dean will delay her
research.
"I'm sure it will postpone it for a
while, and I'll catch up with it later
on after I finish the deanship,"
Schnoebelen said.
Schnoebelen will also be post-
poning her retirement to become
interim dean.
"The question was whether she'd
be willing to do it because she's just
a year from retirement, and she's on
sabbatical thisyear," Hammond said.
"But she's very devoted to the school
and was willing to do all of that,
which is a lucky thing because she's
the best person by far."
Next semester a committee will
be formed to conduct a national and
international search for a new dean.
Both Hammond and Schnoebelen
said this process can be lengthy, and
Schnoebelen estimates that she will
hold the deanship for at least one
year.
"I was among the original faculty
of the Shepherd School, and I'm very
much devoted to it," Schnoebelen
said. "It seemed that I would be the
logical person, I suppose, to serve as
interim dean since I know the school
so well."
Hammond said he does not know
when he will take his new position,
but he thinks he will be at Rice at
least until the end of the semester.
