NEW PROF.
Among the known additions to the
Rice faculty is Victor Iturralde, M.
A., graduate of the Faculty of Letters
of Madrid University, to be an in-
structor in Spanish.
Senor Iturralde has been in Amer-
ica only 18 months. He came from
Spain to New York. He has a brother
attending the University of New
York. He speaks English perfectly..

JACK GLENN-
(Continued from Page 1.)
"When one eats too many unripe
pippins, it causes a mipareflexation in
the appendabesonomy'the physician
explained. "This sets up a henexody.
The appendix is involved almost im-
mediately, and an operation is the
only recourse."
Glenn himself, in an exclusive in-
terview after recovering from the
anaesthetic, said, '"I don't know about
i hat," when asked as to why he ate
too many green apples.
"Aw, you little divvils, you wants
to play," he remarked facetiously,
when asked to pose for a photograph
After some urging, he consented to
sit for only 12 poses.
Inasmuch as assistant yell leaders
were to he tried out before appoint-
ment this fall, Glenn had named no
one who can substitute for him until
his recovery. Henry Penix, capable
assistant of last year, has graduated
and gone to Texas U. for post graduate
work in law, Penix is tht? second mem-
ber of a Rice yell leading staff to get
•i degree here and take up law at
Texas. "Shorty" Mayer, Longhorn
yell leader last year, spent six years
at Rice and led yells three of them. Un-
til the advent of Glenn, Mayer was
the best leader Rice had found.
Temporary assistants probably will
be named by Glenn later this week,
or by President Roy Chambers of the
Students' association, in case Glenn is
unable to hold a conference with stu-
dent officials. First yell practice prob-
ably will be held Saturday, with a
mass meeting in the physics amphi-
theatre Monday or Tuesday. The prob
lem of organizing student support a!
ways is a big one, and always is of
prime importance. Glenn is known to
have arranged several new stunts, and
to have evolved some unique ideas for
use this fall. His originality in such
matters was a big factor in his sue
cess last year.
Ingram Lost.
Responsibility of editing this issue
of The Thresher fell upon business
manager B. V. Logsdon's shoulders
because, by a freak of circumstance,
the elected managing editor, Mercer
Ingram, who normally is the second
in command of editorial work, is on
probation and hence ineligible. A spe-
cial case probably could bo made in
the emergency, but the suddenness of
| Glenn's illness caught the business
staff alone. Ingram was not in the
Jcity and could not be located at his
|home in Mart.
Meantime, Logsdon was assisted by
• members of the editorial staff of last
year. Glenn was editor-in-chief last
year also. The staff of assistants
probably will work under Ingram's
| direction for the second issue and for
! till subsequent issues until Glenn i
lable to take charge again.

a
Unity Of Effort Is
Asked By Chambers
For Good Of School
To the Students' Association of Rice
Institute:
It is with great pleasure that I, as
your president, greet each of you on
this the beginning of a new year at
Rice. I hope you have returned with
a renewed zeal toward the betterment
;.f everything for Rice.
We start on a new year with every-
thing looking for the best, and it is
my hope that each of you will do
what you ought to do toward further-
ing "your Rice."
Many new problems confront us
this year, making imperative co-op-
ration to the maximum degree.
Without co-operation we will not ad-
vance. But we must not lay down on
the job of meeting problems as they
should be met and be a hindrance to
the students that will follow us. Each
student must dedicate himself to
work in unison with his fellow stu-
dent, all for the betterment arid ad-
vancement of our university. The
working together of the student body
will bring to a close next June the
most successful year Rice has ever
known. And who of you would not
be proud to say that you had a part
in the making of the best year at
Rice? II' you wouldn't, you have made
the first mistake by coming here; we
do not need you and you do not
need us.
The tendency of last year and previ-
ous years has been that "don't care"
aii by a majority of our Student As-
sociation. This can not be this year.
We have too much to carry on and
too much responsibility toward our
future. Get to work early; think Rice
talk Rice, do for Rice, and you'll be
the better for it. Expect out of this
year at Rice no more than you put
into your work and your School. All
are not needed to lead and all must
follow when there is so much to do,
and it is up to us, ourselves, to do it.
ROY CHAMBERS,
President, Rice Students' Assn.
HERMANN HOSPITAL NOT
READY.
Contrary to expectations a year
ago, the Hermann Hospital will not
be ready for use during the football
season. Gridiron casualties, if any,
must be carried to town for repairs.
The hospital is the imposing build-
ing in the foreground of the Hermann
Park woods, opposite the dormitories.
It is to bp the largest charity hospital
in the city.
In future years, when Rice estab-
lishes her medical school, it is possi-
ble that the Hermann Hospital will
play a big factor in the curriculum
and lab work of the Institute.

Welcome, Rice Men!
You are always welcome at our store.
Come in and hang your hat up and
make yourself at home. And when it
comes to clothes we stand ready to
serve you.
