Rice University has become the latest institution of higher learning to ban Kleenex. That's right. There are others who, as a gesture of enviro-love, have tossed Kleenex maker Kimberly-Clark in favor of a company more friendly to Mother Earth.
A student group at Rice has successfully pushed administrators to stop using the Kleenex because it is not made from recycled paper. Now, Rice is known for its brainy students. For years in the Southwest Conference, the dreadful Rice football teams had a clever message for the opponents who thumped them on the field. The score didn't matter, they said, because eventually, the winners of the football games would be working for the brilliant losers.
With stories like this one, it's hard to fear the Owls. At least a few students at the Houston campus are too obsessed with saving the world to pose such a threat to students from a rival school.
