RPC makes good choice with The National
Rice Program Council officially announced today that the band The National will perform Nov. 7 as part of Rice's homecoming weekend activities. With the live show on Friday, and the football game and Esperanza the next day, students should have more than enough activities in which to partake. In a staff editorial we wrote in September, we stated "the burden is now on RPC to go to students for ideas, to increase its visibility and prestige on campus . RPC has the chance to make itself one of the most active and most respected organizations at Rice" ("With great budget comes great responsibility" Sept. 19). The results to this point have been impressive, and we applaud RPC for its obvious efforts to break from the mold of previous years. It appears as though this year's homecoming and Esperanza will be more memorable than students are used to, and we cannot wait to see how they turn out.
