The Sammys

By Emily Nichol 5/16/11 7:00pm

Murder, humor, mystery, orgies and incontinence: this year, theater at Rice has covered every theatrical base imaginable. From Egypt to the Ukraine to Putnam County, each college offered different and exciting shows for the entire campus to enjoy. Now, as we have done every year since 1980, the Thresher is pleased to present this year's Sammys to honor the very best of these productions and the people that have contributed to them. Nearly 400 of you voted in a close race (many of the winners won by single votes) for your fellow students who worked hard — and probably missed a few homework assignments — to make you laugh, cry and think about life just a little bit ?differently.

Congratulations to all of this year's winners, runners-up and ?theater participants.

Rice SJP ‘liberated zone’ ends, university removes artwork in ‘beautification efforts’

By Maria Morkas and Spring Chenjp

The “liberated zone” on Rice campus and associated events ended Friday, April 26, after four days of programming, according to the Rice Students for Justice in Palestine Instagram page. Unlike overnight encampments spreading at college campuses across the country, Rice SJP disassembled the “liberated zone” each night and returned the following morning. And in contrast to clashes and escalating police responses that have led to some 2,000 arrests from Los Angeles to Hanover, N.H., there were “no major incidents and no arrests” at Rice, according to President Reggie DesRoches.
