OBSERVE HOLIDAY
San Jacinto Day Monday One
of Few Official Holidays
at Rice
San Jacinto Day will be observed
by the Institute as an official holiday,
according to custom. Recognition of
the holiday is given in the calendar
for the academic year In the official
catalogue.
Closely following the Engineering
Show, Monduy, April 21, will be wel-
comed by students. The greater part
of the student body has spent long
hours In preparation for the biennial
event and the day will In all probabil-
ity be spent In resting anil catching
up in backward classroom assign-
ments.
Dean Caldwell Wednesday confirmed
the catalogue statement announcing
the holiday.

SIXTH BIENNIAL
EVENT STARTS AT 2
Many Exhibits Are Ready
For Presentation To
Visitors
As the climax of weeks of Intensive
preparation, the sixth bietinlul Engi-
neering Show opens at 2 o'clock Ibis
afternoon. Closing at 10 tonight, the
customary second day of the show
will come tomorrow. The same hours
will be observed Saturday as hold to-
day,
Begun In 1919 as a yearly affair.
Engineering Shows at Rice have been
the greatest advertisement for the
Institute in its short history. Follow
ing the second show, held In 1920, it
was decided to hold the shows bien-
nially. Since that time three snows
have been held at two-year Intervals,
each being larger and more beneficial
than Its predecessors.
Hairy ears, as members of the engi-
neering schools are known on the
campus, look forward to the period of
the show from year to year and, since
a student customarily participates in
only two shows, these two are red-
letter periods. Dropping scholastic
duties for the week of the show, the
engineers work day and night In per-
fecting exhibits and surpassing the
standards set in previous years.

rasis its head from the dust of time.
According to H. K. Humphrey, Profes-

discussion of the matter came up dur-
ing the period of the second Engineer-
ing Show and lias been spasmodical-
ly revived at various times since then.

Visitors to the Mechanical Labora-
tories during the last Engineering
Show will perhaps remember seeing a
fierce, fire-breathing animal of that
almost extinct species "Anustnagnus,"
or, as he was called by his Halryear
attendants, simply "Woofus." Tilts
boast, is the sacred animal of the
Rachmontis. a wild tribe In Southern
Africa, and is worshipped by them
In much the same manner ns the cat
by ancient Egyptians, the cow by
present day East Indians, and the
chicken by modern Americans, t
After the lust Engineering Show It
was decided to keep Woofus on hand
for the present exposition, duo to his
popularity, and also because he would
serve as an admirable cigar lighter
In the meantime. Unfortunately, now-
ever, he died after several months. A
thorough investigation was made into
the causae mortis by everyone from
biologists to lowly M. E.'s, and the
general concensus of opinion was that
he tiled of loneliness Apparently a
Woofus needs feminine companion-

to exhale flames at Ienst ten feet

for a well conditioned W;oofns. Now
