Is Chatroulette the newest casual thrill, or a viral ill

(04/23/10 12:00am)

Fun. Entertaining. Unsafe. Crude. Random. When was the last time you heard something described in such a way? Yet this seemingly incoherent set of adjectives perfectly describes the newest web sensation: Chatroulette. Chatroulette is a website that connects you to a random stranger with the help of webcams. The brainchild of a Russian teenager, Chatroulette has already entered the mainstream in terms of Internet memes.

Master Plan overlooks inner expansion

(11/20/09 12:00am)

On Nov. 11, University Architect David Rodd spoke to the Student Association to outline Rice's Master Plan, a comprehensive overview of how Rice and its campus are expected to change over the next five decades. As he presented his plan, I couldn't help but notice the constant mention of words such as "expansion," "growth" and "increase," with reference to both the undergraduate population and academic resources. The question that came to my mind was whether the idea of growth is inherently at odds with Rice's character as a medium-sized, undergraduate-focused university charging relatively low tuition.
