Letter to the Editor: Listen carefully

To the Editor:

Kyle Sheehan calls himself "fiscally conservative" and "a non-interventionist." But, Donald Trump has called for a huge increase in military spending in the tens of billions of dollars. And, he said he would do that by cutting the safety net. Trump repeatedly said he supports the use of torture against "our enemies." And, he has boasted that he would "do what it takes" to wipe out ISIS. Do torture and "do what it takes" sound non-interventionist?

Listen carefully to what this candidate is saying.

Rice has a serious accessibility problem

Just over a year ago, disability scholar Bowen Cho ranked Rice 35th in a study of disability inclusion and access across 106 universities. Cho noted that the 10-minute transfer period between classes used by Rice and many other universities can pose an issue to students with mobility issues.
