I'm really concerned about the safety on campus after what has happened in the last 24 hours, and unfortunately, I am somewhat surprised that these type of things don't happen more frequently than they do.

For example, I have tried working in Mcnair over some weekends, and they literally have building stuff chasing people around turning all the lights off even when there are people in the halls, and literally anyone can walk into the building at any time. They have even started doing this at like 4pm on weekdays. Someone even kicked out one of the doors in the building. It's like the building's managers are just begging for something to happen.

This is just one of the issues that are just totally unaddressed on campus that make it feel less safe, especially in preventing SA. I feel like things can just be done to protect students, and some administrator somewhere just doesn't want to take any action because it doesn't affect them, and I hate that.

I'm a current freshman on the premed track. What are some pros/cons to taking physics over the summer, and would you recommend it? How much would med schools look down upon it?

I will be getting married at the Rothko Chapel on Dec. 5th of this year and there is no photography allowed inside. However, Rothko has agreed to let us hire an artist that works in a dry medium (charcoal, pencil or crayon) to create a sketch of the ceremony.

I wanted to put a call out to art students at Rice to see if anyone would be interested in doing this! It is paid obviously. Please DM me if interested.

(Hopefully this post is allowed by mods!)

*editing to add that I'm not necessarily looking for a realistic depiction and am open to more abstract artists. Also, you could begin the sketch during the ceremony and finish painting it later.
