Embracing their inner prep, Rice students have been spotted all over campus sporting the collars and sweaters trend. Will Rice freshman Genevieve Tariton and Hanszen sophomore Vishnu Kumar were just two of the many students spotted wearing this layered combination in light of the chilly weather. Though both wear dress shirts underneath their relatively fitted V-neck sweaters, Tariton and Kumar demonstrated two very different looks.
People drink it sociably in public and private places alike, consuming it in its rawest, most bitter forms, or mixing it with other flavors so that the sweetness will make the drink more bearable. Not many people are aware of just how physically and psychologically dependent they are on it, and most are willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money for one small serving of temporary fulfillment. For better or worse, you can buy this addicting liquid almost anywhere; Rice has three places that sell it, all within minutes of each other.
Caffeine has always served as a sociable source of fuel for Rice students, with their endless stream of problem sets and reading assignments, but the extent of caffeine usage has changed dramatically between the mid-20th century and the early 21st.

Ahhh DiffE. The mere pronunciation of the word strikes a keen sense of dread into the minds of many incoming students. Known as the "Orgo" of advanced math courses, the course is famously featured by three Rice students in "Teach Me How to DiffE," a YouTube parody of Cali Swag District's "Teach Me How to Dougie."
President David Leebron said that he was pleased with both rankings and cited a general attitude on campus of how we can all contribute to making life better.
On May 7, a man spotted with a pistol at the Greyhound Station at 2121 Main was confronted by an off-duty Houston Police Department officer and shot the officer in the hand after refusing the officer's commands. The man then ran to a nearby McDonald's where he exchanged gunfire with another HPD officer, hitting him in the leg. He then ran to the Amegy Bank parking garage on on St. Joseph parkway on Fannin Street. The shootings occurred about three miles from campus. Sedmak rushed to the scene, responding to a call of ‘officer down' on the radio. Deputy Executive Director of the Texas Municipal Police Association Kevin Lawrence said the officers then used Sedmak's car for cover while they returned fire.
