lows:

Mllie Hice, lOllzatieth Stewart, Betty
Houx. Patsy Street, Eugenia Hamilton,

BAND WILL GO WITH
TEAM ON T.C.U. TRIP
Rice Music Makers May Also
Take Part In Parade On
Armistice Day
n' The Rice Owl Band will accompany
the Hice students and rooters to Fort
Worth for the Owl-T. C. 1'. grid clas-
sic on the tatter's home field tomor-
row. Fifty-live of Lee's musicians
will make the journey, and will wear
the r< gular uniforms of the Rico Band.
The band will pay its own expends,
and will, as usual, handle all refresh-
ment. concessions on hoard the special
—selling sandwiches, cold drinks and
candy.
Around .K>(' profit was realize.1 by
the band from proceeds of freshmenti'
from the Austin sojourn, which
brought the. uniform fund to over ;
$1000. The band would take SO mem-
bers to Fort Worth, but for the fact
that due to the shortage of uniforms,
only 55 can be properly outfitted.
The band made its first Houston ap-
pearance in full uniform last Saturday
at the Rice-St. Edwards game. While
it paraded before the game, and be-
tween the halves on the field, it at-
tracted a great denl of favorable com-
ment. Members mot. at Autry House
half an hour before the game began,
and paraded out; Main street to Rice
Field, scene of the battle.
It is thought that the band will
take part in the Armistice Day parade.
Students to Aid
in Family Survey
Classes in Economics 420 and 200
are to co-operate with the Harvard
Graduate School of Business Admin-
istration In the making of a compre-
hensive survey of the standard of liv-
ing in American families. This depart- I
ment of Harvard University Is being !
glvtin tjie assistance of Economics
departments in many universities
throughout the country.
The ultimate purpose of the sur-
vey Is to collect statistics to be used
in a study of domestic consumtion of
goods of all kinds. According to Mr.
Kenneth Dameron, instructor in Eco-
nomics, the undertaking will comprise
•'one of the most valuable studies of
its kind ever attempted."
Members of the two classes have
been issued black forms on which
the statistics are to be gathered in

Special Alumni Edition of
Threther to Appear Nov. 22
A special Alumni edition of the
Thresher for November 22 was an-
nounced at a meeting of the staff last
Friday. About twenty-five members
were present.
Editors Strong and Turner made
short speeches on the technicalities of
newspaper stories with the view to
helping the staff to write better and
more correct stories.
AN APOLOGY
Due to an oversight on the part
of the copy reader, the Barrlnger &
Norton ad In last week's Thresher was
made to read as If the Tuxedos adver-
tised had two pairs ow trousers.
It might not. be a bad Idea If the
trend of fashion swayed andftuxedos
were sold with two pair of trousers,
one to be used before and the other
after drinking.

Autry House tbe latest, in clothes,
shoes and accessories. Lou Harrell
Invites all the fellows to drop In and

CALDWELL SAYS NO
RICE HAZING SOON
Dismissals Less Frequent
As Student Body Learns
University Ideas
That the time Is not far off when
there will be no more hazing at Rice
Institute, is the present opinion of !
Dean R. G. Caldwell anil other mem- !
be.rs of the faculty. |
The Dean, in an interview Monday, j
pointed out that there were Only 'wo
dismissals of upperclassmen on tie
charge of liazilig in I lie year i!i2ti-
• 1!12!J, and that, so far this year only
one «tuilmtf. has been dismissed. Prev-
alence of hazing has been growing I
less and less each year for some time,
and faculty members feel that the
practice will soon die out completely.
In the past there have been spo-
radic outbreaks of hazing at. the tie-
ginning of each academic year, but
one or two dismissals have always
been sufficiently deterrent to put an
end to then'. The Dean stated that
these outbreaks grow milder each
year.
The dying out of the practice is
attributed more to the increase ot
student respect for the untl-haztiig
pledge which each student must sign
upon entrance to thp Institute, than
to the disciplinary measures taken
against It. In addition to this it is
thought that the Rice student body Is
fast getting asvay from prep-school
Ideas and becoming more and more
imbued with the spirit of a univer-
sity.
Another factor In the improved sit-
uation is the Increasing co-operation
of freshmen. The general conduct of
freshmen has much to do with the
practice of hazing; since It has much
to do with the attitude toward them
of upperclassmen.
Christian As Non-Christian
Student Discussion Topic
Last Sunday, at 4:30, the first, of a
series of student discussions was held
at. the Autry House. Miss Frances
Ctillom was In charge and introduced
for discussion a topic of the differ-
ence between a Christian student and
one who is not a Christian, but who
has a high moral code.
Further discussion, based on Bruce
Curry's "Facing Student Problems."
are to be held on the first Sunday of
each month at the Autry House, at the
same time. These fill be in charge of
student leaders. All Rice students in-
terested in tills work are invited to
attend.
THRESHER STILL
AFTER ASSISTANT
BUSINESS MANAGER
Council Releases Figures On
Expenditures At Monday
Meeting
The Thresher is still looking for
an assistant business manager. The
special election for the purpose of se-
lecting one, which was to have been
held November 12. has been postponed
for a second time, due to the failure
of any candidate to submit petitions
to the student council. The election
date as now fixed will he November
25. All petitions from candidates
must be signed by 25 members of the
student association, and must be in
the hands of the student council on or
bofore November IS,
At the same election an amendment
to the constitution of the Student As-
sociation will be considered by the
voters. This amendment wil concern
the manner and time of selecting the
freshman member to the Student
Council.
The Thresher vacancy in a result
of the failure of the assistant busi-
ness manager to return to Rice this
year. The position is one which re-
quires some business knowledge 'ind
ability to sell advertising. The assist-
ant business manager ot'the Thresher
automatically becomes business man-
ager at the beginning of the next
year, provided his work has been sat-
isfactory to the present management.
For n capable man the remuneration
Is good.
At its meeting Monday, the .^tudeet
Council, in addition to the above husi-

Meagher several days ago.
The co-ed in question was riding to
town witli Couch Meagher. Not, know-
ing ills Identity, the co-ed began dis-
coursing on the bad points of the
team. The discourse was lengthy.
It is saitl flint Coach Meagher of-
fered a few words of extenuation,
whereupon the co-ed suspected the
truth. She (itdettvored futllely to make

At this point. Mr. Gaylord Johnson

mistook the co ed for Mrs. Meaghbr.

made to cover the expense. Old
clothes will be worn. Baseball and
other sports wil be on the informal
program.
A new champion lias risen!
Slime Sniokey Klaeruer was utianl
mousiy acclaimed Oaptain-eleci of tlip
world-renowned Rice firubhouhil team
Monday evening in the commons after
one of the most marvelous exhibitions
of grub-destroying over witnessed
here.
Six I'rtjslitiien, favorites ot their re-
spective hails, entered. They were
Slimes Stolte, Nelson, Hrown, Farris,
Dtirke and Smokey Klnerncr rile
odds on the first five were fairly even,
with two r. to 4 betii on ®feijie re-
corded. Smokey entered at this last
moment, a dark horse, and marv were
tie wails when Ills prowess was • v-
h't ited.
After a lew introductory letnarUs
by Marshall Sanguinet, three limes

Burton Gerke took the stand lu be-
half of his brother, ftll-tim.- captaijv

ever known. Uerke later admitted ha
didn't know what he talking
about.
At 0:50,: 4a, the food having been
put on the platters, the signal was
given and the crowd shouted. "They're
off!"
From the first, the superior!!,, of
the great Smokey was evident. There
was a verve, a brilliant quality about
his work that clearly put hint in a
class by himself. His style was rough
in spots, but masterful and virile,
withal.
Stolte, runner-up, was the opposite
type. Smooth, suave and polished, he
