1. Competition Pool Opens Monday

This email is meant to serve as an official announcement that the Barbara and David Gibbs Recreation and Wellness Center Competition Pool will open on Monday, November 2nd at 6 AM. This new heated swimming pool will provide the Rice community with ample opportunity for both recreational and competitive swim events. Visit the Web site at: http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~ricerec/aquatics/schedule.html for more details on open hours and our expanded lap swim schedule.



Please note that during the opening week, we will host two major swim events. The first is the Rice Recreation Center Intramural Swim Meet, which will take place on Wednesday, November 4th from 8 PM-10 PM. While the event will require the use of several swimming lanes, there will still be some lanes reserved for lap swim.



The second event is a home swim meet for the Rice Women's Varsity Swim Team. This event will take place on Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th and will require that the Competition Pool be closed to Rec Center swimmers at 3 PM on Friday and all day Saturday. However, the heated recreation/leisure pool will be open from 12PM-6 PM on both days.



The indoor pool that is housed in the old recreation center will remain open until 7:30 PM on Saturday, October 31st. It will be closed on Sunday, November 1st so that we can prepare to open the Competition pool.



We hope that you enjoy the new aquatic facility and we look forward to seeing you soon!

2. Rice Homecoming Election 2009

Homecoming is less than 3 weeks! That means it's time to pick your 2009 Homecoming King and Queen! Last year, Hurricane Ike won Homecoming King for reminding us what "Making It Rain" really meant, and Kathy Collins, VP for Finance, won Homecoming Queen for her complete overhaul of club finances.

Who will win this year?

5. Are you interested in directing the Vagina Monologues?


The Rice Women's Resource Center will be holding an information meeting for all individuals interested in directing the Vagina Monologues next semester at Rice. This annual show is an important and well-attended event at Rice, so we are seeking impassioned individuals who want to help make the show the best it can be! Come by the Women's Resource Center in Kelley Lounge at the RMC next Wednesday, November 4th at 8 pm to get information about the show, directing responsibilities, and ask any questions. Email rnp1@rice.edu with further questions, or if you cannot attend.

6. RICE INVESTMENT SOCIETY SPEAKER SERIES

Rice Investment Society is starting a speaker series that is bringing
successful financial professionals from the Houston area to Rice. The
aim of these events is to help undergrads who are interested in
finance learn about the industry, discuss various career paths, and
network with established professionals. These events are going to be
fairly informal and after the speaker talks about his background and
career choices, the remainder of the event will be discussion based
and will rely on questions from the audience.

The first speaker will be J. Cole Dawson, the President of the Houston
division of Telemus Capital Partners. Prior to joining Telemus, Mr.
Dawson served as Senior Vice President-Private Banking & Investment
Group at Merrill Lynch. He is also a former Vice President-Private
Client Group at Goldman Sachs, and has served as a financial analyst
in Investment Banking at Salomon Brothers.

The event will be held on Nov. 10th at 8:00PM (Location TBA). We are
trying to gauge interest so if you think you might attend please email
John Tracey at jrt1@rice.edu

7. Cell Phone Drive

Rice's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee will be holding a campus and community wide cell phone November 9-15. I was hoping to get a listserv announcement out at each of the colleges. I have attached a copy of the flyer. If possible, could this attachment also be attached to the listserv email. Here's the message:

Cell Phone Drive! Old Phones Save Lives!
Rice's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is holding a week long cell phone drive beginning November 9th and continuing through homecoming weekend. The donations will go toward Hope Phones and Front Line SMS - to organizations devoted to providing cell phones for health care workers in developing countries. Donation boxes will be located across campus and at all sporting events during that week. So, drop off your old phone and save a life.
