Rondelet proves successful
The Thresher would like to congratulate the Rice Program Council for throwing a successful Rondelet. Tickets sold out quickly, and students who attended were pleased with the good music and conversation space.
The Thresher would like to congratulate the Rice Program Council for throwing a successful Rondelet. Tickets sold out quickly, and students who attended were pleased with the good music and conversation space. In the future, it would be great if the dance floor were slightly larger, and of course everyone loves on-campus tents as locations. Additionally, it might be nice to see a slightly larger venue in the future so that more students can attend, especially considering how quickly tickets sold out. However, in general, the historically problematic dance was a huge success and we look forward to Rondelet becoming an annual Rice tradition once more.
