More fond farewells for graduating seniors
Of course, where would we be without the hard work of our advertising staff? Probably broke and out of jobs. That's why we can't express enough of our thanks to Cathleen Chang and Molly Slattery, our outgoing ads managers, who made the process run seamlessly. Cathleen always had a smile in the office and Molly never hesitated to lend a hand. Thanks is also due to Tiffany Kuo, our former classifieds manager, who made the brave decision to stay on even after reading some of the sketchy classifieds from week to week.
Last, but certainly not least, we will miss Stephen Wang, our former Web editor. Stephen played a vital role in navigating us to our new website and dealing with all the mess along the way. There is nobody with more patience than this man.
The Thresher congratulates the Class of 2011 on all of their accomplishments and bids farewell to our friends and colleagues and wishes them the best of luck in the future.

Now is the time to understand religious diversity and discrimination at Rice
In the midst of a nationwide increase in religious discrimination and hostility, particularly following the events of Oct. 7 in Israel and ensuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, there is a need to examine how Rice University students have been impacted, how they are responding and the degree to which religious tolerance, religious accommodations, and perceptions of religious discrimination at Rice have changed.
We need to diversify Rice’s foodscape
Rice students have lots to say about access to food while on and around campus. Rice’s unique foodscape lives and breathes the school’s motto of unconventional wisdom by helping accommodate a diverse group of students. But to a certain extent, it could benefit from a taste of conventional wisdom. Implementing other universities’ foodscape features at Rice would benefit our students.
Practice safe drinking post-Prohibition
Dean of Undergraduates Bridget Gorman finally released the long-awaited Alcohol Policy Advisory Committee’s recommendations regarding the alcohol policy on March 22. We have to be honest — it could have been much worse.
