he will retire in 1985.
Board Chairman Charles W.

Hackerman, 72, informed
the board he will serve through
the 1984-85 school year.
Prior to coming to Rice,
Hackerman worked his way
during 25 years at the Univer

professor to president of the
school in 1967.
He served as president of the
Austin school for three years
before accepting a similar posi
tion at Rice.
The Baltimore, Md., native
earned his Ph.D. in chemistry
from Johns Hopkins Univer
sity. From 1968 to 1980, he
served on the National Science
Board, the final six years as
chairman.

Sister Pat says the ups and
downs of her job cause a great
deal of emotional strain. With
out her strength from God, she
says she wouldn’t make it.

She prays to God. She com
forts people. She thinks of
things beyond. She is a nun, a
Sister in Christ.
Yet, dressed in a brown
blazer and skirt, her calling is
hidden from obvious view. The
habit worn for so long is now
? ;one. A silver crucifix swings
rom her broad neck as it hangs
beneath her white bow tie.
A Jewish patient once re
fused to believe Sister Pat was a
nun because she told the
woman she had gone to eat
E izza and drink beer the night
efore. The woman didn’t be
lieve Sister Pat was a nun be
cause of her casual dress.
Later, the woman invited the
nun home for dinner so that
her Jewish friends could meet
“this nun that drinks beer.”
She said that for some reason
people have an image of nuns
as being better than the norm of
society.
“Nuns are people just like ev
eryone else,” Sister Pat said. “I
like beer, especially with pizza.
“I’m no closer to God than
you are. I don’t judge others. I
respect their beliefs the same
way they respect mine.”
Sister Pat admits that as a hu
man, she has been subject to the
emotion of romantic love.
“I once thought I was in lo
ve,” she said, “but I’m not sure
what it was. I just know I had
never felt anything like it befo
re.”
Sister Pat said she evaluated
her priorites and knew that her
life was in Christ.
“I don’t think it was a
sin...Can an emotion be a
sin?...They’re all from God,”
she said.
