Once every ten years, the student body at Rice has a unique opportunity to participate in a review of the basic policies and beliefs that guide Rice's administration. As part of the decennial Rice self-study program, public meetings are held at which students are welcome to voice opinions and make suggestions to panels including faculty members, administrators and members of the Rice Board of Governors. To put things bluntly, now is the time to complain about Joyce Rubash's "food". Now is the time to invite the Brown family over to your tenament dormitory. Perhaps an astute student observer of Rice's physical plant can muse about the fact that Director of Physical Facilities Ed Samfield still can't keep the Fondren Library elevator working, even after "losing" his number two and three men, John Costa and Ross McCready, over the summer. I doubt sincerely that any seriously embarrassing questions will be asked during the forthcoming proceedings. The administration certainly doesn't want a circus, and as a body politic Rice students are the quintessence of meekness.
