Happy Birthday, Coffeehouse
The Thresher would like to wish Coffeehouse a wonderful 20th birthday (see graphic, page 1). For the last 20 years, Coffeehouse has done everything from providing the setting for Rice students' awkward first dates to providing the only thing that could get an engineer through the late nights of finals. We've seen the menu expand from just coffee to a lineup that includes just about every nuance of caffeinated beverage possible (minus Four Lokos). Coffeehouse has shifted from just a place to refuel to one of the eminent student groups on campus. We at the Thresher certainly hope that the administration will soon reward Coffeehouse's loyalty and service to the Rice community with a new and improved home in the Rice Memorial Center.
