Thresher to return in August
The craziness of the year died down long ago, but we at the Thresher want to wish all of you a happy, restful and fun-filled summer - even if you'll be stuck in a 9-5 job. At least you'll be dodging the Houston humidity bullet!Of course, stay safe and don't do anything we wouldn't do: As much as we love publishing articles about you guys, we'd prefer if you did positive newsworthy things.
We at the Thresher will certainly be enjoying our summer vacations, as we won't be publishing another issue until O-Week. But never fear: Be sure to check out our website, www.ricethresher.org , for updates on breaking news over the summer to get your Thresher fix. You'll be sure to find sports updates, as our baseball team continues to dominate all the way to the College World Series.
As always, you can also follow us on Twitter (@TheRiceThresher) and on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheRiceThresher. We'll be Tweeting and posting throughout the summer, right into August!
While we're on the subject, look out for a revamped Thresher website when you return in the fall!

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.
