NO. 7
SPECIAL ELECTION
DATE IS CHANGED TO
TUESDAYJOV. 12TH
Petitions of Candidates Must
Be Submitted Before
November 5
The special election which was
called for Monday, November 4, has
been postponed until Tuesday, No-
vember 12, It was made known today.
The election was for the purpose ot
filling the position of Assistant Busi-
ness Manager of the Thresher and to
consider a proposed amendment to
the constitution of the Student's As-
sociation.
The decision to postpone the elec-
tion a week was made in order that
the Student Council would have time
to consider the applications of the
candidates for the office of assist-
ant business manager of the Thresh-
er.
The Thresher vacancy is a result of
the failure of Claude Hrookslilre, who
won that position in the spring elec-
tions, to return to Hlce this fall. Pe-
titions from those who expect to be
candidates must be signed by twenty-
five members of the student associa-
tion, and must be in the hands ot
Francis Vesey or John Ridley of the
Stpdent Council not later than Mon-
day, November 4.
The proposed change In the consti-
tution concerns the appointment of the
treshman member of the Student
Council. Article LV, section 2a reads

Pre-Meds Give
13 Membership
The Pro-Medical Society held Its
initiation ceremonies Tuesday night
tor thirteen fortunate, or rather un-
forunate, candidates.
The Physics building was the scene
of the gruesome affair in which there
was much to do wigh strange doses
and foods and such weird articles as
cats' livers and eye-balls. According
to all reports the candidates came out
palo and shaken, and each bearing
upon his forehead the skull and cross-
bones insignia of the organization.
Sandwiches and cold drinks were
served before adjournment. The next
meeting of the organization will be at
s p. m. next Tuesday in the Autry
House. Important business ifa'to be
discussed and all old members are
urged to be present.
The beauty on Rice campus is soon
to come Into Its own. According to
Fletcher Brown, editor of the Camp,
anile, the seven lovliest on the campus
will be chosen from 25 contestants.
These 26 contestants will be chosen
this yoar in a new way.
"I wish to correct any false impres-
sions the students seem to have about
the selection ot those in the annual's
beauty section," stated Brown. "I
do not wish it to be rumored about
this year that the editor and his staff
did the selecting. To avoid any such
rumors, I have worked out a plan
which will certainly result in a fair
and wholly artistic final selection. I
am going to ask different students
from all different factions and depart,
ments in school to hand in lists of
the 25 girls they consider the most
beautiful. I. will ask, for Instance,
the President ot the Students Asso-
ciation, the editors of the various
publications on the campus, a couple
of dorm men. an architect and an

Decision
Cranmer Club to Spontor
Monthly Communion Sunday
On Sunday morning, November 3rd,
at 7:30 o'clock, the Cranmer Club will
sponsor its regular monthly corporate
communion. Rev. Peter Gray Sears
will conduct the communion service
at Palmer Chapel this will be followed
by breakfast at Autry House. All
regular and irregular members of the
Cranmer Club and all others interest-
ed in the organisation are urged to be
present.
'* On Saturday night, October 86th,
* the Sunday Club of the University of
Texas honored the Cranmer Club ot
Rice wth an Informal daaoe at Gregg
House. The dance was well attended
both by University students and by
visitors from Rice. Towards the close
| of the evening a large and well dec-
' orated cardboard owl was presented to
| the Cranmer Club by the president of
J ^e Sunday Club.
That the Hlce Institute authorities
will not permit the use of the Insti-
tute's name In connection with non-
Rice functions become more certain
than ever this week, when the Hal-
loween dance scheduled for last night
at River Oaks was ordered cancelled.
This affair, sponsored by Frank Men-
dell, a Rice student, had been adver-
tised as a Rice dance, despite the tact
that it had not been given the official
sanction of the student council.
According to Dean R. G. Caldwell,
who brought the pressure t|0 b/B#
which halted the proposal dance, the
chief objection of the Rice administra-
tion to the project was the method of
advertising. "The Rice authorities
cannot prevent individuals from giv-
ing dances whenever or wherever they
please," the dean said, "but we will
certainly oppose any dances which
are advertised as Hlce dances, unless
tjiey have been properly authorized
by the Student Council."
Dr. Caldwell pointed out that In
taking this stand ho was merely back-
ing up the authority of the Student
Council, For eight years there has
been In force a regulation to the ef-
fect-that all official Hlce social activ-
ities are subject to the approval of the
Student Council.

set them to work before going to sem-

RAIN — MORE RAIN — DEFEAT — SONGS,
FEATURE STUDENT TREKS TO AUSTIN
THRESHER STAFF NOTICE
A meeting of all Thresher re-
porters and staff members has
been called tor 1 p. m. today,
Friday, In room 807 of the Ad-
ministration building. The meet-
ing will be brief, but important.
All Thresher writers will be ex-
pected to attend.
There was not much excitement in-
cident to the departure ot the Rice
Special for Austin last Saturday morn-
ing, The six hundred or more stu-
dents who went were out for a holi-
day, but they didn't start, until the
train was well out of Houston. There
might have been a little excitement
on the part of the young lady who
went to the wrong station and had
to take a taxi to make the special,
and some on the part of the person
who was taken on about half-way out
of town, but things did not really get
going until the traiu Was lost in the
plney woods.
Once out of town people begun to
go on mysterious errands, more peo-
ple were in the aisles than in the
seats. Train noises were lost in clam-
or of yells, weird singing, sounding
of horns, beating of drums, moaning
of Blrens.
The most colorful incident was the
parade of the band slimes in full uni-
form except for trousdVs. One would
be surprised at the amount and kind
of color displayed.
The six hour trip seemed to be ot
only a half-hour's duration. Once In
Austin the crowd disappeared in the
rain and mist to appear an hour lat-
er plodding over the sloppy hills to
the stadium. After the first three or
four touchdowns the game settled
Into a dreary affatr ot Bteady rain
and gummy slickers. Less enthusias-
tic people sat on dusty lumber under
the stands. Two cops who went from
ptayer to player In the band scared
a number of students, but all they
Wanted was to tell a man that his fam-
ily wished to see him at the gate.
After the game more tjlppery hills
to climb on the way to cleaning and
pressing establishments, but. every-
body was on hand and pepped up for
the dance.
It looked like a barn but they called
It the women's gym. Insiie, three
thousand stags covered all except a
narrow border of the floor. In this
lane Intrepid dancers stood and shuf-
fled feet. It was something like the
ride over, except that nobody moved
around much. Sometime before the
final number, Johnny McCants ap-
peared on the stairway opposite the
orchestra. (There is some doubt
about this; some say it was and some
say it wasn't.)
Only a few missed the train. Two
miles from Austin all the lights went
out. Despite efforts to get them light-
ed again most of the return trip was
made In utter darkness. It was a ter
rible trip, though not wholly unenjoy-
able. Seat backs were removed and
many aVretchet) themselves out; at
full length. In quieter moments their
snores could be heard throughout the
train. People still walked the aisles:
"Just feelin' 'round," they said.
So far as can be learned there were
no casualties. Everybody got back
to Houston and down to earth Sun-
day morning, some twenty-eight hours
without sleep but still going strong-
