Congratulations to Clement and Dillard
To quarterback Chase Clement and receiver Jarett Dillard, we would like to offer our congratulations. They scored their 40th and 41st career touchdowns as a pair last Saturday, the most ever between a NCAA quarterback and receiver (see story, page 1).For the past three years, both as fans and fellow students, we have enjoyed watching them play, and they have approached their game and their records with commendable class. We are looking forward to the rest of the season, and we hope that their last season at Rice culminates with a bowl victory.

This moment may be unprecedented — Rice falling short is not
In many ways, the current landscape of American higher education is unprecedented. Sweeping cuts to federal research funding, overt government efforts to control academic departments and censor campus protests and arbitrary arrests and visa revocations have rightly been criticized as ushering in the latest iteration of fascism.
