Do you like Ike
We hope you dislike Hurricane Ike enough to avoid partying outside with him come this weekend. Whether you evacuate the city or not, remember to take all the precautions necessary to ensure your safety, including notifying your college masters and family of whatever you do. If you take to the road, be sure to fill your car with gas and bring food, water and maybe even a first aid kit, too. If you stay in Houston, whether at your college or in your apartment, be sure to stock up on the aforementioned essentials, as well. For hurricane updates and information on campus closures, continue to check Rice's homepage at www.rice.edu and the Thresher Web site at www.ricethresher.org.
