Wiess College's annual Night of Decadence is this Saturday. In light of the extreme media coverage of the event last year, the Thresher encourages students not to hold back on contacting emergency medical services or other help if they feel it is needed. Despite any negative fallout from last year's event, the safety and well-being of our fellow Owls should always be the No. 1 priority.
The Thresher would like to congratulate former Director of Student Activities Kate Abad on her new position as Director of Student Center and Activities. Abad is an excellent choice for this newly created position given her background at Rice.

The Thresher would like to corroborate the general feeling among students that hot food at the Hoot is running out too quickly.
