TAUBENHAUS BREAKS TOE
IN SHOWER BATH AT DORM
Leon Jair Taubenhaus, junior pre-
medical student from College Station
and former theater reporter for The
Thresher, recently broke a toe while in
a shower bath in South hall.
Friends of Taubenhaus were shocked
upon learning this, for they never sus-
pected he had any use for shower
baths.

NO COUNTY CONTEST FOR
BAND DUE TO DEPRESSION
No county band contest will be held
this ear because the depression has hit
the recreation department, according
to Douglas Ragland, Owl band presi-
dent.
At present, the 70-piece band is
practicing several new pieces in prep-
aration for the Engineering show and
May fete.
Rehearsals now are at the Field
house instead of at Autry house,
through courtesy of Dr. Harry A.
Scott.

Students Attend Rice
206 Days of Each Year
(BY ANDREW LADNER)
Despite loud cries from overworked collegians and talk of ner-
vous breakdowns of others, Rice students—or any other students
attending a normal university—go to school only about 55.4 per
cent of the year. In other words we go to school just a little over
half the time.
Exactly 206 days out of the 365 are
spent as class days. That leaves, then,
159 days to be used as vacation. Un-
fortunately this vacation is spread out
over all the year. It includes the
longest vacation of about three and
one-haif months, the Christmas holi-
days of almost two weeks, and the
one-day 'escapes'.
Now, if a person has cast his lot with
the collegiate, he probably works
eight hours a day every day except

TRAVIS J.ALLEN CANDIDATE
FOR COMMISSIONER'S JOB;
WILL STUDY AT TEXAS
Travis J. Allen, who played football
for Rice three years, is a candidate
for commissioner of precincts 3 and 7
of Lavaca county, subject to the Dem-
ocratic primary, July 23, 1932.
Allen has been trustee of county
schools of Lavaca county for the last
three years, and according to the Yoa-
kum Herald and the Novy Domov,
Bohemian newspaper, is considered a
strong candidate for the office.
Allen "will appreciate your vote and
support", and proves that Rice stud-
ents have the strangest jobs in the
world. Allen plans to enter the Uni-
versity of Texas next year to study
law.

tion, with Christmas, New Year's, and
the Fourth of July thrown in. His
work probably averages 48 hours each
week.
Compare 48 hours a week with the
amount of time the average college
student works on his courses. An
average college course has 15 hours
class work and presumably 30 hours
a week out of class.

These Men Rate With Freshman Girls
(BY RUTH SHIRLEY.)
TJ EING FRESHMEN, and having known Rice men in the quan-
** tity, quality, and humor that only freshmen girls ever do, hav-
ing danced with 'em, driven, and ridden with 'em, even walked (on
sunny, windy days) with 'em, having talked with, at, and to them,
having seen shows, and races, and games with them, played bridge
with them, having looked at, and been looked at (appraisingly and
casually) by them, we've come to conclusions, and among other
things learned to dissemble (as they say in Owl poetry).
And the best thing about being able
to dissemble is that you can just act
natural and never give yourself away
—they think you're still dissembling.
Anyway, in spite of the fact that we've
intimated, suggested, or told them re-
peatedly, they (the men) don't really
know whether we like them or not.
So-here's a list of MEN WE LIKE,
subject, of course, to daily revision.
R. Moyer—dark, dances, has a low,
low voice, knows his way about.
J. Kocurek—a fountain of informa- ;
tion about sports, dances well; doesn't i
believe in low-rating people, really.
B. Talbot—that funny man.
B. Plath—(at times) because he's
versatile, accomplished, etc.
B. Hannon—because he has a de-
lightful tenor voice, and is nice.
with ideals, or ideas, or convictions, or
something.
„ S. Parham—because with someone to
feed him the cues, he can keep a crowd
convulsed for hours.
E. Rollins—because of the way he
looks, and because he doesn't give
himself credit for looking that way.
F. Hurley—because he's interesting
when he chooses to be, and is para-
doxically self-eftacing.
W. Jessup—because he has the mak-
ings of a prominent political figure, and
because he no longer accentuates those
qualities.
E. Hovas—because he's the most
competent business manager we know.
M, Bloom—because he plays a good
game of bridge, dances a good tango,
waltz, or whatnot, and because with
provides
the maximum of comfo't at reasonable cost.
