FRIDAY, MAY U, 1033
We have been told that the boys out
in the sticks got the break of their
joiing lives last week,? BYNUM

Freeport Saturday night and who
should he find shining there but

M have been requested to give
TREVOR GARDNER a nickname by
scveinl students who have gone to the
Majestic this week. From now on it
must be "KING KONG" GARDNER.
Another nickname we offer is LOIS
"CLEO" PATRICK. Boy. the way that
girl uses her eyes and other charms
on the boys is really an art. Just
park around: near her sometimes and
watch her in action.
We've just found out why NEIL
JOHNSON stands on the corner of
Texas and Main every day at noon.
VERALICE CHAUTRAND works in a
building down there and NEIL is satis-
fied just to slip in at least a word or
two during her lunch hour. 1

One of the fair co-eds wius mighty
surprised in architecture lab the other
day when MR, CHARLES BROWN
walked in and found her reclining in
the arms of LYDON BOYD, freshman
designer. Later she was locked on
the balcony with a second ed, BEN F
GREENWOOD, whereupon the fresh-
man had to come to her rescue and
spirit her away to the Autry house.
We understand that the MR" associa-
tion has objected to the type of pin
the members of the Students' council!
have ordered. From a Very good
source we know hpt the pins do not
i'estlmble the "R" pins too closely. And

istlc intangibles that many neophyte
undergraduates think would make the
place an earthly paradise.
In the first place, it la absurd to think
that the taking of a compulsory $8 will
db anything of the sort, and, further-
more, it will not give rise to the exist-
once of any condition that will lend
development in any of these fields. I
am at a loss to know how this pay-
ment will eliminate cliques. The gen-
tlemen did not tell us how. I am at
a loss to know how this will create
school loyalty. The Most Honorable
Council was silent on this point. I am
ot a loss to know how any other than
adverse school spirit can be created by
forcing some to pay money that they
need for other things. Is this the kind
of school -spirit the gentlemen want?
And, what about your loyalty? Is
loyalty to be bought with money?
The thing that creates unity and
spirit is not the paying of forced fees
but proximity of residence: Rice
needs a woman's dormitory as well as
men's, and we thank Dean Caldwell
for taking the first step toward spirit,
since that seems to be the outward
and sought-for need at present.
In examining the chart labeled
FACTS, we see their eloquent pro-
posals stripped of their force, Let's
examine some aof the statements of
the Right Honorable Council in the
light of the facts presented by the
council.
SUPPORT CAMPUS PUBLICA-
TIONS. At present there are printed,
or to lie printed, about 550 CAMPA-
NILES, If the compulsory law goes
into effect the editors will have to
print about 800 more and the liberal
Gentlemen of the Council will give
them $267.50 with which to do this.
Excellent foresight! The THRESHER,
now serving the whole school, will bo
given $52.50. The OWL will be elimi-
nated, thereby taking $550 from the
publication. Then balance the afounts
given to and taken from the Student
Publications which the gentlemen are
going to help, and they will have $220
less to start with next year than they
had this year, with no possibility of
getting more, They can at least hope
to sell more Blanket Taxes now.

Dear ■■ I i|l«illii
With exceeding interest I have fol-
lowed i he discussion in The "Thresh-
er" regarding tite Board's ruling that
all men students of Rice Institute
shall be required to live in the resi-
dential halls for not less than one
year.
Mr. Loon Bresky's article in your is-
sue of May 5th was, in my opinion,
one of the clearest, most intelligent
and best written that hap appeared
in the "Thresher" this school year. 1
must say. however, that I heartily dis-
agree with both Mr. Bresky and "A
Student" whose article appears in the
same issue, though the logic in botli
articles is most admirable.
Five years passed before 1 finally
scrapped under the wire and was
graduated from Rice Institute. Three
years I lived in the dorms—the first
year in West Hall, the second in South
Hall and the third in East Hall—an
ascending scale as it were. 1 trust I
am not offending any West Hall resi-
dents. In my day those fellows be-
came hardened to such remarks.
Now no one could have been any
poorer than X was when I matricu-
lated at Rice Institute. 1 walked from
Waco, Texas, to Houston to attend
Rice, and will never forget that Sep-
tember morning about five o'clock,
when I first set foot1 on the Rice cam-
pits:, and saw the reddening clouds
through the Sallyport, I walked to-
ward the dorms, jingling the two
nickels together in my pocket. ... my

see that the issue is set forth primarily
to help pay for the athletic functions
whether you go to see them or not.
Beautiful theory, Then, the important
thing is that they have sought to shove
this thing on the students by an-
nouncing that the voting power will be
extended. Lot's hope that people rea-
lize that if they stand up for their
rights and get a leader to voice their
opinion it will cost far less than $8
to vote and hold office.

Tax Protest
Dear Editor:
The present proposed reduced and
compulsory blanket, tax Is the, most
iniquitous suggestion that has Iseen
lircsetiled, this year, and the reasons
for suggesting therh are pusillanimous.
The Right Honorable Student Council
begins their foolish appeal by Intimat-
ing I hat the measure will create stu-
dent-loyalty and student-unity, that It
will eliminate the cliques, upper and
lower stratas, that there will be school
spirit, and all the other pseudo-ideal-

peitl runs second to health as a re-
quisite in ati ideal marriage, while
"passable looks", is rated of less im-
portance than intellect by Marshall
College students here.
A survey conducted by a class in
sociology among .students in all socio-
logy classes, gave congeniality third
plate in importance,' followed by me-
dium intellect and passable looks and
neat dress.
The clownish person was rejected as
outmoded, the individual of dry wit
titid '.'ja moderate sense, of humor be-
ing preferred. Crooners were favor-
ed "if they do not sing the same song
to too many different girls."
One woman said she would marry
the first man she found dumb enough
to think her "the grandest girl In the
world." But her future husband must
not st utter, or lisp, or have any other
speech impediment, she said.
The majority of the mefi considered
that a wife should be "pleasingly
plump" and have baby blue eyes and
dark hair — not permanently waved.
Choking ability and mutual interests
were placed as secondary but essen-
tial factors. Above all else, the men
said, the woman must be jealous
enough to make herself as charming
as the office stenographer or the dra-
matic actress.

Ruth Provine, a June graduate of
