At the meeting of the EHzabeth
Baldwin Literary Society on March 19
members of the ciub discussed the or-
ganization and management of a Stu-
dents' Association at Rice. Misses
Marguerite John and Mary Lou Brown
gave some very interesting information
concerning similar associations at other
schoois. An open discussion followed.
It was suggested that such an organ-
ization wouid be beneficial in that it
would develop in the student a certain
amount of thoughtfulness. judgment
and much-needed poise. The consensus
of opinion was that the Honor Council
should not be abolished but should con-
tinue its activities—restricting itself,
however, to matters concerning honor.
Three representatives to the peace
conference were elected—Misses Kath-
erlne Hurt, Maurice Mills and Eisbeth
Rowe.
Mr. Blanchard has kindiy consented
to give a talk on the short story at the
next meeting. The society cordiaily in-
vites its friends to attend.

February 28.—The meeting was
opened by singing "Take Time to Be
Hoiy." Miss Eisbeth Howe sang "Now
I Lay Me Down to Steep." Mrs. Rob-
ertson, chairman of the advisory board,
gave a tatk on "How a Woman Can Be
a Good Citizen Today. " After repeat-
ing the Lord's prayer, the meeting ad-
journed.
On March 7, 1918, the ciub sang
"I'ilGiveMyLife." After that, election
of officers took place and the following
women wili serve for the coming year:

Marguerite John; secretary, Miss Juan-
ita Swope; treasurer, Miss George M.
Dukes; nominating committee Miss
Irene Putnam; chairmen. Misses Leota
Smith, Grace Hubbell and Eunice Hig-
gins.
With these splendid, enterprising
young ladies as officers, great things
nro cxpcotcd of the ciub, and the co-
operation of every girl in the institute
is invited. "You are bombarded with
requests to come."

"Les Hiboux," with Miss Georgia
Comfort acting as temporary chairman,
{ held a reorganization meeting on March
1st for the purpose of again establish-
ing the ciub on a working basis, since
the general decline occasioned by the
leaving of Dr. Ward and the former
club officers.
Mr. Arvin of the French department
made a few preliminary remarks on the
importance of maintaining the club and
the possibilities of making it a big suc-
cess by a nice balancing of work and
piay. Mr. Strothers was aiso present,
but, to everybody's intense regret, be-
haved like a good child, being seen but
not heard.
The following officers were elected to
serve for the rest of the coilege year:
President, Mr. Wheeler.
Vice-President, Miss May Spear.
Secretary, Miss Frances Mayberry.
Mr. Wheeler later appointed Miss
Georgia Comfort as chairman of the
entertainment committee.
Meetings will be held fortnightly, the
first meeting of the new term failing on
Friday, March 22d, at which a varied
program wiii be rendered and, it is
hoped, enjoyed. Members ar'& expected
to attend with a complete disremem-
brance of the Engiish tongue and a
fierce resolution to go over the top
clutching their French pocket diction-
aries.
Les Hiboux activities wiil hereafter
be chronicled in French.
