Congratulations deserved
We would like to extend our congratulations to a pair of very deserving staples of the Rice campus. The first is Wayne Graham, the unofficial leader of the Rice campus. Where Graham goes we follow - all the way to 800 wins.Secondly, we would like to extend our congratulations to Rice's Emergency Medical Services program for its fourth service excellence award. We cannot begin to express all of our gratitude for the services REMS perform, from hand-making splints to easing our bodily qualms to providing pop quizzes about the current president. They make Rice that much safer, and for that we are indebted.
