Houston, in a 1949 letter to the Thresher editor The official attitude of Rice University toward minority students has come a long way since our founder William Marsh Rice created an all- white institution in his will. The establishment of a minority affairs office, a cause which has finally gained administrative support in recent weeks, will be another step toward affirming a solid place for minorities within a university (W culture that still is not enriched by diversity as much as it should be. One important function of the office will be to aid in recruiting minorities to Rice. Blacks and Hispanics each comprise only about five percent of this year's freshman class, while the faculty includes even ho smaller percentages of these groups.

The old Stephen F. Austin Hotel, where I stayed for the first five years at the tournament was remodeled and renamed. The cost became outrageous there, so we no longer enjoyed staying downtown. Today the Hotel is called InterContinental Stephen F. Austin. Visiting Sixth street became popular and I continued to eat at the Waterloo Ice House. The main attraction in those days was playing at Gregory Gym on the campus of U.T. We always had great pickup games at the student activity center, located right next to Gregory. Jogging was also another passion of mine. Town Lake provided great running trails just south of downtown Austin. Coaching clinics became the norm, as I continued to learn the game. Great times. The person who had the greatest impact on my life was my brother-in-law. This book is dedicated to him. At the age of 10, he began coming over to the house dating my older sister. He was like a family member. For the next twenty years he influenced all aspects of my life.
