The classes were seated in tradi-
tional fashion, and the battle repre-
sented a tight fight with the "Girls'
Rest Room" crowd getting the best of
the deal in the junior and senior
classes.
In the sophomore class, two "nasty
nice" societies gained the advantage,
with three to one odds that the listing
will have to be changed on the May
quotations (the ole Maestro claiming
disabilities fori those juniors elected on
the sophomore ticket).
The ignorant freshman women (what
do you think?) of course elected an all
society team of predatory hay burners.
When the stench had calmed, and
the last trick was put away, the prob-
able list was found to be:

The Engineering society was ad-
dressed by Roy Faulkenberg at its
meeting Wednesday night. Mr. Faulk-
enberg, who is employed by Westing-
house in Houston, spoke on some of
the more interesting and recent devel-
opments in his company.
The complete schedule for the re-
mainder of the year's activity of4 the
engineers was read. This schedule
includec, besides the show, an inspec-
tion trip, three distinguished speakers,
a tacky party, an election, and last but
not least the banquet.
The inspection trip is to be tomor-
row. At the special invitation of S. R.
Bertron, about one hundred engineers
will be guests of the Houston Lighting
and Power company at its Deepwater
plant. There will be a luncheon and
an address by Mr. Bertron, after which
they will be shown about the plant,
especially noticing the new high pres-
sure installation.

Arts and frnceived the idea. Athough it Was
advertised only on the campus, the
show attracted many outsiders and
here proved its real value For it was
immediately realized by the faculty
and those influential campus people
that such projects in the future would
serve as a most desirable means of
advertising Rice and informing the
public as to just what Rice's merits
were.
The' second show absolutely estab-
lished this fact, for being widely adver-
tised, it attracted such tremendous
crowds that the general manager was
awarded a gold medal for his excel-
lent commandeering. The whole stu-
dent body sang praises of the occur-
rence for sometime afterwards, and
people, when reminded of Rice, imme-
diately thought of the Engineering

This address marked the 1 iisft of a
series of lectures on Petroleum and
Civilization.
Dr. Thom sketched development of
the oil industry since 1859 when the
Drake well was drilled. He pointed
out that the oil industry pays $1,000,-
000,000 a year in taxes, and that it is
more heavily taxed in proportion to
investment than any other branch of
industry and that its taxes were the
basis for t he good road system of to-
day.

large turnout the outlook is not so
brilliant due to handicaps along a fi-

not cover golf and as yet no country
club has been secured for practice
sessions, thus throwing the burden of
green fees on men out for the team.
Although not definitely secured,
River Oaks will probably be the scene
of the three conference matches which
