Errata
In last week's issue of the Thresher, the article "RPC calls off dance after week of low ticket sales" implied that Rondelet had been canceled in three of the past four years. However, RPC did not plan to hold Rondelet in 2008 and 2009, and last year was the first time Rondelet has been canceled in several years.
Additionally, it should have been reported that RPC told its representatives that Rondelet would be held before, and not after, winter break. The Thresher regrets these errors.

Letter from the opinion editor’s desk: Voicing your opinions is important more than ever
The shock I felt as I saw the shelter-in-place order ring on my phone. How my heart raced as a friend and I sought safety in a stranger’s suite at Brown College. How my voice shook as I picked up phone call after phone call from friends, family and colleagues.
New demonstration and poster policies seem targeted, lack student input
Rice recently updated its policies on campus demonstration and postering — changes include new restrictions on campus protests and increased vigilance about signage, to name a few. Students need to be informed about these changes. We worry they weren’t.
Letter from the editor’s desk: Telling the stories closest to home
Last week, I knew what I was going to write here. I spent the night before the semester began reading and re-reading what old editors-in-chief had to say in their welcome letters, picking up on common themes: building trust with readers, supporting student media, running a paper in unprecedented times. Then last week, one hour before our first staff meeting of the year, we received notice of an immediate shelter-in-place: RUPD was investigating a tragic homicide at Jones. Campus shut down, and everything stilled.
