STUDENT SECRETARY
FOUNDS MOTHER
GOOSE DEPARTMENT
Dick McConnell, student secretary at
Autry House, is sponsoring something
very worth while. All of us have
seen Hermann Hospital and Autry
House standing within a block of
each other, but it took Dick to bring
them together.
Recently, she has organized a sort
of Mother Goose department whereby
various Rice girls go over and read to
the youngsters in the hospital. As
most of them are well enough to move
about, yet have very little to do, they
are perfectly delighted when the girls
appear. Moreover, the few girls who
have helped Dick have enjoyed the
afternoons thoroughly. There is al-
ways room for more, though. Come
on, girls, and help out!

RALLY CLUB TO COOL
OFF DANCES; BUY
FOR AUTRY HOUSE
The Rally Club has bought a set
of eight oscillating electric fans for
the Autry House. This announcement
conies in the nature of a surprise to
the majority of students. The fans
will be installed as soon as they get
here, which will be some time before
Easter. They will be initiated at the
first Saturday night dance after Eas
ter.
President Kreamer said that the
original idea of the club was to have
ceiling fans, but this was impossible
on account of the chandeliers.
The approximate cost will run
around $200.
Doctor: "Sambo, I can think of but
one thing that will cure you, and that
ii'the''electric bath."

Brave Co-Eds to WarUo
After Dark on Tuesdays
The date for the weekly meeting of
the Girls' Glee Club has been changed
from Friday aftrenoons to Tuesday
nights, 7:80-8:30.
The girls decided to make the
change because of Interruptions due
to conflicts with lunch, lab, gym, etc..
which broke into the practice hour.
So, from now on, the girls will brave
the terrors of the night for the sake
of art.
