TRACES GROWTH
OF LAW
"Grotius And Law Of
Nations" Is
Subject
By Donald B. Flint
Development of international law
was traced from its status during the
middle ages to its application in mod-
ern times, by Victor Andres Belaun-
de, formerly Doctor en Letras y Jur-
isprudencia (Lima) awl lecturer in
Spanish and Spanish-American His-
tory at Rice, Sunday afternoon in the
Physics amphitheatre. This was the
fifth of the annual faculty extension
lecture series, and was centered about
the subject, "Grotius and the Law of
Nations."
Growth of ,New Nationalities
Beiaunde showed that the problem
of the epoch of the Renaissance and
the Reformation was political and
dealt with the constitution of the na-
tional state. Once, the new national-
ities were established, he said, this
problem became international.
"From isolated war between the
states of Western Europe since the
middle ages, we have passed to wars
of alliances and from these to wars
of coalitions, and at the beginning of
the twentieth century we have the
World war. All this explains the im-
portance of the commemoration of the
publication of De Jure Belli "ac Pacis,
the real origin of international law,"
the lecturer continued.
Morality Makes Law Compulsory
In the work of Grotius the essen-
tial factor is the assertion of a human
consciousness or superior morality
which gave to the international rules
a compulsory character and a cri-
terion for their completion and per-
fection, to quote Beiaunde further.
"Grotius' definition of war in his
works is imperfect but the rules he
established are wonderful for his age.
He gained his clear idea of the so-
ciety of the states from the Spanish
theologians Soto, Sudrez, Victoria
Ayala, Vasquez," the speaker empha
sized.
Rise of Schools of Law-
Appearance of the later ^utilitarian
and positivistic schools resulted in
removal of the natural law. Interna
tional law became the expression of
the general welfare and is embodied
only in practical effects, customs, con
ventions and uses.
"We believe that international law
demands a "new human consciousness
and the revival of ethical and relig
ious factors. This was the main idea
of Grotius in his constant appeal to
Christian morality and his endeavor:
to get the reconciliation of t h e
church," Beiaunde concluded.
HAVE DUES DESK
4k
Juniors Out After The
Dough
In order to make the collection of
dues more convenient the Juniors will
keep a desk in the sallyport three day
a week. This announcement was made
at the Junior class meeting Wednes-
day.
L. S. McWhorter urged all Junior
to pay their dues.
"If you are not going to the danc
pay your dues any way and I will
arrange with a Sophomore or Fresh
man to buy your bid," said Mc
Whorter.
CROOKS, *N LOVE, 'N EVERYTHING IN "OFFICER 666"
■'Now v'see what you've done! I've lost me job—I'm broke!'' moans Officer HH(> in the last act. I.eft to right:
Celeste Jones (Helen Burton); Jack Glenn (Travers Gladwin); J. 1. Campbell (Officer 666); Arthur Darling Zucht
(Whitney Barnes); and Rosalyn Zucht (Frances ISurton). The play, a three-act farce comedy, is In be given at South
End Junior High School Monday night.
PLENTY THRILLS
Actors To Stage Three
Plays Soon
The three plays to be given on the
nights of February 20 and tl at Au-
try House by the Dramatic Club,
promise to be full of thrills and ex-
citement.
In "Danger," Mrs, J. C. Tidden,
George Red faYid J. 1. Campbell, tiap-
ped in a gold mine, hear an explosion,
and the sound of rushing water tells s
them that the mine is flooded. The I
play deals with their reactions to the
fearful situation.
In "The Man Born To Be Hanged,"
Hyman Plenn, one of a group of
tramps, tells his comrades that, al-
though he has deserted his wife, Rosa-
..vn Zucht, she still is frantically in
love with" hthi. His '(igbtistical rumb-
lings are cut short by the entrance
of the deserted wife, who pulls out
a gun and shoots her wandering
spouse.
"The Man in the Bowler Hat" is
a burlesque on the theatre, with a
typical villain, hero, heroine, bad man,
and such necessary characters of every
play. There is no particular plot, but
it abounds with humorous lines and
situations.
The plays are being uirected by
John Clark Tidden; J. I. Campbell
sind Julian Meuneh. and '.Wis. J. C.
Tidden respectively.

Candy Kings of West Hall, has open-
ed a branch house in room 127 East

fits any candy merchant.
A sign on the outside of the door

special permit from the dean."
CHAMBERS GETS
WAYWARD
Roy Picks Up Strange
Habits In Hog
State
By Miss Martha Brandt
S-h-h!
Yes, it's a big mystery—got every-
body guessing.
Roy Chambers, the esteemed presi-
dent of the Students' Association, is
implicated, of course.
Fact of the business is, not only is
he implicated, but it seems he is the
chief actor on the stage. That's from
external evidence only — internally,
Roy gives out nothing.
First inkling of anything strange
was noticed Thursday afternoon over
at the field house.
Visiting Important Points
After a week's absence from school,
during which time it is supposed he
was ram-rodding the affairs of a cer-
tain group of Rice Institute athletes
D in Dallas, San Francisco, Salt Lake
City, Chicago, and other points, Roy
showed up at the field house.
"Nothing strange about that," some
one will hasten to say. No, admitted.
It wasn't the fact thnt he showed up
over there—that's his business, of
course—but it was the way ho show-
ed up.
He was wearing a flaming red tie.
This factor alone attracted a gen-
eral hullabaloo among the fellows in
the field house, and an investigation
quickly followed.
Not All, B'Gosh
Horrors! That wasn't all.
Roy was chewing Tobacco!
A red tie—and chewing tobacco.
What did it all mean? Moreover, 9
week's absence from home. More puz-
zling.
Roy absolutely refused to answer
any questions asked him, but main-
tained, throughout, a knowing, yet
tolerant smile.
Blondy Tadlock, Roy's room mate,
is all "het" up over the matter—and
his worry is not inconsiderable.
He said when he first saw the presi-
dent with the tie on, he thought he
had suffered an accident, but on later
inspection saw that it was the tie in
question.
What Tadlock Thinks
Tadlock says he thinks the real
meaning of the whole demonstration
is that Roy is attempting to set the
style for local high schools during the
coming year.
Roy tells nothing, and advises that
he is not looking for publicity.
Hence, this short story on a sub-
ject which really demands a more de-
tailed investigation.
Indeed, we wish we could give you
more information, dear readers, but
Roy is adamant.
Ask him for yourself.

OLD LADIES OBSERVED
EBLS IS (ioing to Kip-Snorting Card
Party
"Old Ladies," a novel by Hugh
Walpole, was the subject of an inter-
esting review given by Elizabeth Rey-
nolds at the last meeting of E. B. L.
S., held at Autry House, Monday.
A card party for the members of the
club will be held at the home of Mar-
garet Lester on the afternoon of Fri-
day, February 20, it is announced.
Members of P. A. L. S. and 0. W. L.
S. will be guests at the tea which will
follow the games. ,)
The next meeting of the club will
be an open meeting at which Judd
Mortimer Lewis will speak, fhe third
instalment of the novelette will also
be read. Mary Gohlman will rescue
the heroine from the plight in which
she found herself at the close of the
last instalment.

nil about and yet would offer to tell
me what to do. A plague upon them
all."
When askrtl how she was getting
along with the printers, the co-ed ed
itor sighed heavily, threw up her
hands and grunted "My Gawd!"
Strangely enough, the printer did
the same thing when asked for his
opinion of the Weenie editors.
It is said Miss Hill has an irasci-
ble temper that makes for "golden
silence" among her inferiors on tin
Powder Puff travesty.
One Escapes
One staff member m a n a g e d to
escape the axe that fell upon most of
the Hill Billies. That fortunate per-
son is Mary Trammel. It is said Miss
Hill realizes that discretion is the
more golden part of valor.
It was also discovered that Miss
Trammel prevailed upon the dictator
to appoint Jane Dixon as ad hustler
in order to partly fill Rosalyn Zucht's
shoes. (It might be mentioned in this
connection that Miss Dixon is very
discreet, patient and keen on human
nature.)
Meanwhile the inferior "Hill- Billies
are maintaining a golden silence and
are jumping at every command of
their superior. The co-ed journalistic
riot has calmed down to one fight a
day—that between Miss Hill and Lura
Duff, with Mary Trammel as arbiter.
C L U B TO DANCE
Cervantes Will Have
Atmosphere
Spanish costumes and dances will
form the setting of "An Evening In
Spanish Atmosphere" to be given by
the Cervantes Rice Institute Club in
the Autry House Monday at 8 p. m
A Spanish burlesque dance will be
one of the features of the evening, ac
cording to the committee in charge of
arrangements. Tangoes will also be
in vogue, they say. Refreshments will
be served during intermission.
Entrance to the dance will be by
bid only. The latter may be obtained
by students of Spanish 200 or above
or from any Spanish instructor.
Come along and bring a senorita
she doesn't have to be a Castilian
brunette; a blonde will do just as well
it
KENDRICK RESENTS PUBLICITY
Willie Wood Kendriek will say noth
ing for publication, according to a
statement issued Thursday.
"I will keep my mouth shut in thi:
room," he is quoted as saying upon
entering the editor's room.
Kendriek is believed to begrudge
the news story about him in last
week's Thresher.
Adresses Students In
Faculty Chamber
Monday
"The World Court is the most Am-
erican thing in the world today out-
side of the United States of Amer-
ica," declared Dr. Hamilton Holt, dis-
tinguished New York editor, before
an assembly of students in the faculty
chamber Monday.
Dr. Holt spoke on "World Organiza-
tion" and discussed the League of Na-
tions and the World Court at some
length. The League he characterized
as having power to propose the Court
to command.
After a discussion of the theories
of war and peace, Dr. Holt pointed
out the various indictments of war.
The three old indictments he showed I
is being economical, biological and
moral, to which has lately been added
fourth, the horror and cruelty of
modern warfare.
World Organization
'While we can never stop private
warfare," the lecturer declared, "yet
we can approximate the prohibition
of international warfare by ihe thor-
ough development of a world wide or-
ganization.
"Peace is the outcome of jnstiee;
justice is the outcome of law. and law
is the outcome of political organiza-
tion. Hence international organiza-
tion is essential to effective interna-
tional law. We must outlaw war."

JOLT TALKS ON j Dr. <LZSff— *
WORLD COURT a story about a village. The world he
described as the village that had just
experienced a terrible fire. The lire
had proved so disastrous that an al-
m o s t complete reconstruction was
necessary to restore the village to
proper working order. In this interest
a Village Improvement Committee was
organized, of which all but one of
the most prominent citizens became
members.
This member who would not join
was Sam (the United States). Sam
k< pt aloof of the rest of them until
he saw how things were developing;
then he began to get interested, still,
however, refusing to come in full-
fledged.
Dr. Holt was enthusiastically re-
ceived,
