Ballpark Correction I very much enjoyed the last issue of Rice Magazine and found myself reading almost every article. It’s been my favorite issue in quite some time. I have a small correction to make. I was looking at the fish-eye photo on Page 47 from PK Park. It’s the correct park, but the game attribution was incorrect. The caption says that the picture was from the 11–4 regional win. In fact, the picture was taken at the 1–0 win Saturday, June 1. It was the first win against the Oregon Ducks and an absolute nail-biter. We had a group of alumni from Portland there for the game, and I recognized several people who were there for that one game, and they’re in the picture. It was fun getting out the magnifying glass to be sure it was that game. Thanks for including it in the magazine! —Karen Chen King ’83
Hard Truths I just finished reading Miah Arnold’s and Jim Goldberg’s article titled “The Hard Truths of Human Trafficking.” It was a challenging, meaningful story, and I appreciate your work on bringing it to life. Thank you for doing a great job with Rice Magazine. —Scott Daniel Sullivan ’87
