KTRU sale leaves campus clubs unsafe 28

These are the times that try Rice's soul. The recent incident involving the sale of the KTRU transmitter necessitates a surge of vigilance and skepticism among the student body.

The Rice Thresher, Rice University, TX

4 days ago by Alex Buckey

This past Friday, I got a nasty shock when I read in the Thresher that The New York Times columnist and talking head David Brooks would be the class of 2011's commencement speaker. As a Times reader, political science major and longtime non-admirer of Brooks, I'm disappointed both by the choice of speaker and the embrace of indulgent intellectual mediocrity that it represents.

After a disappointing 2-10 season in 2009, in which Rice returned only three starters from their 2008 Texas Bowl win, the Owls football team hopes that they have enough talent added to the program that this year will be a different story.

I recently discovered a newly-opened seafood restaurant on Kings Highway. Immediately after passing it, the promotion sign seized my attention, not suggesting, but in fact telling me I would soon visit the establishment.

The restaurant sign, which reads "Lazy Fisherman," has a picture of a bearded hillbilly sitting barefoot, holding a long fishing pole with a catfish on the end.
