The annua! Stunt Party given by the
Woman's Councit for the new girls
came off with the usual snap, full fo
fun and ctever "take-offs." The iowiy
Freshmen found out how joiiy the
usualty staid upperctassmen can be
when they forget their dignity. Each
woman's ciub presented a stunt be-
fore the open-eyed audience of Fresh-
men seated three deep on chairs and
floor in the rest room. „
Miss Gessner Lane acted as master
or rather mistress of ceremonies, to
present each group with a brief in-
troduction.
Etizabeth Baidwin Lit presented Mr.
Hitdewop, the wonderful ventriloquist
with his two latest dummies. Hilda
Wail. Ha Brown and Julia Pteasants
managed several clever hits on iocal
and other conditions of interest.
TheY.W.C. A. sponsored the ap-
pearance of Mlie. Cozy Tollypop in an
oriental dance. The audience greeted
with high favor this new departure of
this usualiy conservative group. Miss
Ceieste Rhodes, with the aid of a
phonograph, disptayednatnrat grace
and good training, especially in show-
ering pearls on those near the impro-
vised stage.
The Tennis Ciub demonstrated the
new Crazioia Victrola which Mr.
Heartsmasher has just perfected. Miss
Filson exhibited the good points of
this new invention and piayed severai
records. Misses K. Moore, .greed and
Dawson were responsible for Che suc-
cess of these records.
Dallas Athene Lit. gave an. artistic
interpretation of "Wild Mel), the Pet
of the Plains," or "Her Flnai Sacri-
fice," a silent drama of the highest
type. The cast was as follows: Wild
Neil, Roseile Hurley; Lady Vere de
Vere, Rosalee Hemphill; the cow-boy
tover, Elenor Taylor; Sitting Bull.
Margaret Black well; Bult Durham, his
accomplice, Fanny Black; Huia-Huia,
Indian medicine woman, Helen Freyer.
The acting was incomparable, the stag-
ing the last word in futuristic effects,
and costuming very realistic.
The Woman's Council brought to the
institute the famous fortune tetter and
:rystai gazer. Swami Hokey-Pokus.!
Katherine Dutton proved an efficient
star gazer for the love-lorn old maid,
Lola Kennetly, who promptly left at
the appearance of the ghost and his
cat, which Inez Goodman dragge*
around at the end of a cord.

ices of M. Jacques Perruke an dhis iat-

Ice cream cones were served at the
completion of the program.
Rice has been soid to the salesmen
—sold from the main gates to the Owl
grid, from the Campaniie to the boule-
vard. from freshman to post grad.
One hundred and fifty Rice studes
attended the Saiesmanship Club lunch-
eon last Friday as guests of about
three hundred and fifty Houston busi-
ness men who had dedicated the occa-
sion to them and to their school. Be-
fore the peppy program had been end-
ed the Salesmanship Club had pledged
themselves 100 per cent Rice rooters,
and a section in the rooting section
has been reserved by them.
The Rice band gave a number of
renditions, and was foliowed by the
male quartet, composed of Mayer, Car-
son, Mills and Bushong, which sang
Rice songs and popular airs. Fitzger-
ald and Humason entertained the club
with "jazzy" piano music and songs.
Following the musical numbers, Ed.
Settegast introduced the business of
the day. The speakers were cieverly
introduced in turn. Wademan and
Winnsborough, who were to sell Rice i
to Houston, and Judge Ewing Boyd
and "Tex" Bayiess, who were to buy
Rice should the proposition "look
good" to the salesmen.
C. E. Wademan of Temple, manager
of athletics, began the talk. Hhe told
of the worth of Rice, and put the mat-
ter on merit aione. "We have brought
you our band, which we claim cannot
be excelled by any institution; we
have brought you our talent, including
the harmony quartet, of which we are
jttaMy proud; our BHIugea orcnesua
and our greatest pride, the football
team, which has beaten many colleges
of ten times our number of students.
Rice is an institution with an endow-
ment of over $13,000,000, and has a
faculty composed of men who are lead-
ers in their fieids, and we want the i
men of Houston to realize what Rice j
has to offer, and to stand back of it.
boost for the coliege, and come out to
the football games."

Notre Dame, lud. Oct. 12.—With
Iheplunge into the work and duties of
the new schoiastic year, the University
of Notre Dame has begun reorganiza-
tion of the many societies and clubs
which are formed to extend the ac-
quaintainshlp and to increase the
knowledge of the students. The
Knights of Columbus, the Glee Club,
the Forum, the Democratic Club, the
Medical Society, have organized and
elected their officers. The seniors,
juniors, sophomores and freshmen, the
friends of Irish freedom, the lawyers,
the Press Club, the state societies,
have yet to name their leaders, but
are expected to do so within the next
several weeks.
District Deputy Timothy Oalvin,
Valparaiso, Ind., one of the most bril-
liant orators who ever graduated from
Notre Dame, spoke to the organization
and explained the proposed building of

after 'Rice had been sold" and ap-

ager for Shotwell's, as captain of the i
Rice Rooters' Club, which was organ-
ized.
The entire program was received
with great enthusiasm by the business,
