"Only that day dawns to which we are awake."
— Thoreau One of the frequent criticisms of Rice students is that they are a bunch of weirdos who walk around in a daze oblivious to everything except their calculators or differential equations book. All it takes is a look around at this year's bright- eyed freshman to see that this isn't true, but unfortunately the attitudes and the optimism of freshman week do not always last. Classes and deadlines and the realization that vou do have to study sometimes get some of the students down. Not everyone— some people live under the illusion that life at Rice is a perpetual Freshman Week and they never quite settle down to any routine, but these are few and far between. Most of us get so busy worrying about grades and computer programs that we miss the facets of Rice that make it all worthwhile. There is a world of art, a world of music, and a world of theology, but most interesting of all is the world of people, right here in campus. Some of the best minds in the country are here, and four years is a short time to learn all they have to tell. There is no limit to what you can do here at Rice, if vou do not get too busy to dream. You can learn anything, see anything, become anything you want here. Let yourself go. Only the free man ever finds himself. So go for it.
