Being an O-Week advisor and peer academic advisor doesn't put your friend in any sort of position of authority. There are more than 200 O-Week advisors any given year at Rice, which is roughly 10 percent of the upperclass student body.

There is not a severe housing shortage (although, I admit, I'm not much more of a credible source than anyone else). A certain number of beds are reserved for freshmen, and extra beds are given to transfers. As I said, the O-Week coordinators (of which there are 2 or 3 at each college) work very hard over the summer to get as many transfer students as possible on-campus housing.

That calendar is indeed up-to-date. O-Week starts on August 17.
