The Rice Thresher, April 23, 1985, page 2 A bystander's view of Owl Day

I never visited Rice as a prospective. During the five-year period before I arrived freshman week. 1 never got more than a glimpse of the campus. But had I visited during an Owl Day anything like this year's, UT might have looked a hell of a lot more attractive. Time out: I don't want to downgrade students and staff who organized this year's event for high school students offered admission to Rice. But some things seem to have worked against the goal of convincing prospectives that Rice is worth attending. % Consider the almost complete lack of arrangements between Admissions and the College Food Service. They provided the prospectives with two free meals pork chops and a chicken picnic. For the other meals, future freshmen had to carry around cash and shell out $3 for breakfast, $4 for lunch. A less rude awakening to commons dining might have been in order if we actually want these people to come back. jyt# i Having Owl Day visitors pay all at once for a meal ticket would dull the

blow a bit. ** Or Rice could pick up the tab for Owl Day meals. After all. we are inviting the prospectives. not visa versa. Around $10 per prospective more for meals is a small price to pay for not seeming incredibly cheap. The switch from steak to pork chops on Thursday added insult to injury. Apparently CFS wasn't prepared to serve enough steaks, but the last-minute change of menu probably wasn't lost on the prospectives. One college's welcome for its visitors was a bit more enthusiastic, but no more likely to bring in a bumper crop of freshmen. Added to the trauma of a first Rice dinner was a display of what prospective freshmen face should they, by some cruel of fate, end up in that college: an evening meal replete with ritual ubangiying (a cross between a football pileup and a clothed simulation of a gang rape), mooning, and other obnoxiousness. But 1 guess they needed to be warned. While some hosts and hostesses left their guests to fend for themselves for two days, other current students welcomed the visitors with open arms. Apparently making passes at freshmen is passsf; the new game in the pathetic campus meat market is hitting on pre-freshmen. Some of the problems with Owl Day were probably the result of a much larger turnout than ever seen before. As Rice strives to be more aggressive in.its quest for superior students, it should also work to improve the organization of Owl Day. planning a variety of events so that prospectives need not wander around aimlessly for hours at a time. For their part. Rice students could be more universally helpful instead of exploitive toward Owl Day visitors. Hours spent in convincing someone that Rice is a worthwhile university can be undone in one 30- minute display bv a handful of jerks. — Paul Havlak THRESHING IT OUT 4 •*. continued from page 2 genetic superiority, " said another •*>. * * M^ When the race finally started, Will Rice alumnus, Lavelle Fritz.

Under a vow of silence, their work culminated in the ^ ^ - "short-list" of candidates submitted for consideration to the Board of Governors. a On March 13, 1985 the Board formally presented fflM Dr. George Erik Rupp as Rice University's fifth president. Not doubting the Board's choice or its high expectations, but wanting to find out more, the Thresher went to Harvard to interview Dr. Rupp and his associates. Upon first entering the hallowed halls of Harvard's ancient Divinity school one might wonder why Dr. Rupp would want to leave such a prestigious nstitution at which he is respected by both students and faculty. 1 first met Dr. Rupp on Good Friday. His office was i distinguished and wooden — wooden desk, wooden floors, wooden walls — somehow appropriate for the office of a dean of a divinity school. He was relaxed, yet the youthful energy so often spoken of by those who have met him was apparent. He leaned back in his chair at a large wooden table, his feet propped up on the table and his arms supporting his head. We •! ' W ... discussed Harvard, Rice, and student life.
