of parchment, upon which was stamped

tion of Lewln Carr, giee ieader, yolla
were given for Pershing and Rice, the
party proceeded to the front of the Ad-
ministration Building, where a young
pecan tree had been put in the ground,
while a piie of earth yet remained to be
tiuown on the roots. Genera! Pershing,
fust, went to it with maniy vigor, show-
ed that he was used to shoveiing dirt;
Dr. Lovett. next, took a spade, but the
crowd could see that he knew more oi
celestial masses than of heaps of earth.
Governor Hobby proved to be quite
comical in his feeble efforts. Next came
J. 1'rauk Jungman, president of the
Students' Association, who did credit tc
his Hondo rearing. Gardener Toney
fitmiiy put them ail to shame.
The program over, Dr. Lovett escort
et) Pershing through the grounds anc
into the Academic Court. The Generai
was most impressed with the architec-
tural beauty of Rice and paused to
drink, from the fountain in the west end
of the Physics Cloister—the foundi^
of a tradition. Having completed a cir-
cuit of the campus, he met his car on
the roadway in front of the Academic
court and i' tt for Houston.

Pontics is a
State of Mind.
An Epidemic,
As it were,.
W hich strikes the Campus
Along tn the Spring
And everybody gets it,
it. is a kind
Of popularity contest
Run by what are known
As machines.
Are groups of little
Poopie
Win) get together
With the sole idea
of starting something.
Tltey have a meeting
Which (hey fait representative.
They ^i! around,
And every one of tht-nt
Knows
That the othe.Phas
Something up his sleeve.
They wonder
Just how much
The other fellow
Knows.
And when they find out,
Everything they can,
They confer with
Their candidate,
Then they have another
Little party
At the "Dorms"
Or in the Commons
Or at the Community,
And sometimes in
The Cloisters.
Sometimes they agree
And sometimes they don't.
if they agree
They make wit at. is
Known as a ticket.
A ticket
[s a fist of names
That they can think of
Who ran puii votes.
They have several officers,
[txtuding Second Vice Presidents
And several Secretaries.
Which are the best ways
Of disposing
Of the Girt Question?
They get up a little
Write-up in advance
And have their names
Posted on the buHetin
Hoards.
)f they do not get
Pun over
Hy their machine
They get their pictures
In the CAMPANILE,
And maybe hi The Thresher?
Which is a good thing,
Because it helps the

And that's about ali

Oh. wei),

Ha! Signs of Spring."
"Where?"
"Just took 't the gang of new
cioister courses just starting, and
I came by Carroll's today and
their window was full of Sweet
Peas and Daffodils and Tulips 'n'
everything. I even got liberal and
sent her a bunch just to cele-
brnlp."
Rice Students Take Charge
(Continued {rota pay !, column 3)
needs constitutes the call to go. to let
go, to help go. The plea, the "reason-
able service," is for money, for Influ-
ence. for lives.
Move to the fore!
Say not another Is titter than thou;
Shame to thy shrinking; up, face thy
task now!
Own thyself equal to all a soul may;
Cease thy evading; God needs thee to-
today—
Move to the fore!
Plays Fair With Germany
(Continued from page 1, column 4)
cut off a most important and fertile re-
gion from Germany, the continued ac-
tivity of bolshevistic agitators which
had reached into the student bodies of
the universities, the shortage of coal,
the miserable conditions among the sick
and in the lower quarters of the large
cities, the rapid increase in the death
rate, the nervous condition of mind in-
cident to insufficient nourishment, ali
of these had brought about a most seri-
ous economic and poiiticai situation.
"The French had characterized Ger-
many's appeals as 'camoufiage.' This
was not the American point of view aft-
er our report had been made. The
British agreed with us. Food was sent
.md conditions began to improve.
"The break down of Germany as a
moral factor in a self-respecting worid
is due to the fact that the national con-
science has had to bear the dead weight
of a perverted official caste. Not til)
ideals based upon a German conscience
differing from ali other consciences
cease to sway the general mind can
Germany gnd her soul again."
MUSHOXG.

new dorm., suggested as official Hice
baltad.)
Bushong. he singee a song.
And playee a trombone at! day—at] day

Bushong, no likee that song,
But playee so low—way down low—

Bushong, he play a note wrong,
And allee his neighbors, they cus at
hint and swear-—o dingee darn!
Kcepee from sleepee half the night and

White Bushong, he ptay him a little
song!

Without it I am unhappy. With it
heaven aione surpasses my joy. Around
it my worid of life revolves. My soui
craves nothing better than to look won
it with rapture, to devour its rare beau-
ty—not in vile passion, but in glorious
wonder and awe. Its loveliness has
reached the acme of perfection. Its gen-
tleness and kindness is inspiring. When
everything else falls I can depend on it
for consolation and sympathy. Its
eyes are my windows of Paradise. Its
voice may be compared with Celestial
chitnes. It Is dazzling, It Is enchanting,
it is supreme! It Is a—a—oh! I'm
darned if I know what it Is!
