1. Football Traffic
In addition to the traffic reminder below, if you use Entrance 17 to enter or exit campus please be aware that a large tent is being set up over the two northbound traffic lanes near Gate 3 of the football stadium. This has limited both north and south traffic to one lane. On Friday morning
Entrance 17 will not open as usual; it will remain closed until after the football game.
Help keep traffic moving on campus Friday night -
Thousands of football fans will be heading to campus late Friday afternoon to watch the Rice Owls take on SMU in the first game of the season. Many of you will be heading in the opposite direction as you leave work. To keep the traffic moving as smoothly as possible, the University Police Department recommends that faculty and staff who are leaving campus after 4 p.m. exit through entrances 1, 2 or 3 onto Main Street. This should help prevent traffic jams at the entrances by the stadium where visitors will be arriving. If you return to campus for the game, which we encourage you to do so Rice has a great turnout for this game, please come in through entrances 8, 18 or 20. Go Owls!

7. Harris County Democratic Party Internships
2008 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Democrats, and Houston is no exception. The 2008 Coordinated Campaign is the Harris County Democratic Party's county-wide effort to promote and elect Democratic candidates this fall. We have built a busy and growing organization in many locations across the county, and we are now offering unpaid internship opportunities for Political Science, Public Policy, or other interested students at Rice. Our campaign will offer interns valuable and broad perspectives into the political process and how campaigns are run.
We intend to give interns hands-on experience with the day-to-day operation of our campaign - such as projects in youth and community outreach, field organization, and communications - and to minimize clerical or "busy" work. Interns are expected to be motivated and enthusiastic supporters of Democratic candidates and causes, interested in local and state politics, and willing to put forth the best professional face to the Democratic party. Good writing, communications, research, and interpersonal skills are necessary, as is familiarity with standard computer software. Familiarity with internet resources (flickr, facebook, etc.), web development, and design are also welcome.
Interns will work out of our Midtown Campaign Office (Travis & Alabama) and hours (days, nights, and weekends) are flexible. Internships will last throughout the Fall semester, and will finish after the general election in early November.
Anyone interested should contact Dan Derozier at daniel@hcdp.org, and we look forward to seeing you!

8. Internships Available with the Michael Skelly Congressional Campaign
Hey there,
I graduated from Rice in May and am now working full time for Michael Skelly, who is running for Congress in Rice's district. We're offering internships for this Fall and I would love to have a couple of Rice kids be part of the campaign.
This is the most exciting Democratic campaign Houston has seen yet. We're breaking fundraising records left and right, our senior staff are incredibly talented, and we're putting in place a really intensive field program. If you're thinking at all about working or a campaign at some point, this is a great opportunity.
We're asking our interns to commit to 10 hours a week in the next seven weeks until November 4th. This can be spread between canvassing on the weekends or office work during the week and hours are flexible since we're here in the office from 9:00 am - 9:00 pm.
E-mail kirti@rice.edu or call 713.560.1907 if you have any questions.
Hopefully I'll see you soon,
Kirti Datla
