Puns For Title of
Annual Ball
"Much Ado About Shakespeare" has
been chosen as the title of the Archi-
Ar'.s Ball, to be given by the Architec-
turai-Arts Society Monday, February
21 at the Junior League.
Quite in keepng with Shakespeare's
custom of naming a play, and then
adding art "or'' title, the society has
added a sub-title that does justice to
the punning art of the Bard ol Avon,
'From Bard tp Worse" has been
chosen as a proper subtitle for the ball.
Committees for the annual Archi-
Arts Ball, have been announced- by
Woody Alexander, president of the
society.
Mace Tungate is chairman of the
general committee, assisted by Kath-
ryn Greer and Ray Brogniez,
Tungate is also chairman of the
decoration committee. Others are* Hay
Brogniez, Wiley Vale, Robert Pope, and
James McGee and J. K. Dunaway, as
consultants.
Wiley Vale is chairman of the hall
committee, assisted by Reagan Gillette
and J. B. Saunders. .
The pageant committee is composed
of Kathryn Greer, chairman, Rosemary
Watkin, and Howard Nicholls. Dr.
Carroll Camden is consultant.
Octavia Chambers is chairman of
the costume committee, with Marian
Sinclair and Robert White assisting.
David Red is chairman of the patron
committee, with Betty Bonnet, Mary
Beth Morris, and Armstrong Prescott,
numbers.
The publicity committee is composed
ol Ray Brogniez, chairman, and mem-
bcis Maiy Beth Morris and Guy Jack-
son.
Robert White is in charge of the
programs and bids, assisted by H.
Crate and Octavia Chambers,
Howard Nicholls heads the orchestra
committee, of which Rav Brogniez and
Paul Jones are members.
Mary Beth Morris is chairman j of
the food committee, assisted by Rich-
ard Hanna.
The theme, which is to be Shakes-
pearian, was announced last week. The
announcement followed the competi-
tion entered by all senior architectural
.students.
The theme chosen was the one sub-
mitted by Woody Alexander, president
of the club. Alexander's theme won
over four others selected for the fina'
competition. Robert Pope submitted
a Bavarian scene; Kathi;vn Greer made
plans for a Chinese garden; and Wiley
Vale planned a fairyland theme.
ATOM CRACKERS CRACK

ATOMIC THEORY WITH
* «1< S& sfc *
NEW ELECTRON PHOTOS
Indianapolis, Ind.-~(AiCP)— Findings
that upset the atomic theory of matter
were recently sent from Washington
University of St. Louis to the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of Science. Scientists at the university
believe that instead of one kind of
electron, there are hundreds.
The electron, a bit of negative elec-
tricity, has been considered the small-
est building block of matter, a founda-
tion stone for all matter. If the St.
Louis discovery is verified by other
scientists it. means the foundations ol
tnutter as now kno\yn are upset, that
even at the very bottom, matter stands
on a structure as complicated as the
Tower of Babel.
The new evidence is photograph:
showing that electrons apparently
range in weight from the ordinary
kind, all the way up o that of protons
which are heavy positive charges of
t lectricity.
TO 50 GRADUATES
The National Institute of Public Af-
fairs has announced that it is, ready to
ac cept applications for 50 appointment's
to the 1938-1939 internship training
program in the Federal Government
bi Washington. Selections will be
n.ade at large without apportionment
or regional, quotas.
Holders of bachelor's degrees from
recognized colleges or seniors who will
•c-ceive degrees by June 30 are eligible
for the appointments, which grant tui-
tion free study for nine months in gov-
ernment and politics.
The training includes work for ex-
perience <n administrative agencies,
study of government I problems and
personalities, graduate instruction in
polities, administration, economics, and
statistics, and individual guidance from
the staff, of the Institute.
Application blanks and additional
information may be obtained from the
Committee on Appointments, National
Institute of Public Affairs, 400 Invest-
ment Building, Washington. D. C. Ap-
plications must reach the Committee
not later than February 15.
scientist claims
evolution Will
create supermen
Washington, D. C.—(ACP)--A Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh scientist believes
that the human race is only in the in-
fancy of its development with a race
of "supermen" scheduled to succeed
homo sapiens and bring the millenium.
His theory explains the evolution
in terms of the science of astronomy
and the newest concepts of cosmic ray
bombardment of the earth. He did not
attempt to predict whether the next
spurt in evolutionary development
would occur in time to prevent the
extermination of the present human
race through wars and national hat-
reds but offered the new theory as a
ray of hope to those who believe tluit
civilization is dying.
The assumption' is that cosmic radia-
tion can change chromosomes, the
threads of life which control inherit-
ance. and produce new forms of plants
end animals. One explanation of the
origin of these new forms once in
every million years is that the stellar
galaxy, of which the sun, moon and
earth are tiny specks, rotates about
once in every 300 million yeprs bring-
ing the earth into a favored point n
space for cosmic radiation.

ing of the group Tuesday afternoon at
Autry House that they were giving a
slumber party in honor of the old
members. , , ;i
The slumber party is to be giveli

Tentative patron lists for the annual

By C. J. Motes-Conners
j "The boys arid girls of today, be-
|causb of their training, in history,
economics, and world affairs in general
j should take an interest and an nctii'c
| part in their government," said Mrs.
T. J. Hurling, head of tile Harris
County poll tax department, Saturday,
advocating that young people, and
especially students, take advantage of
| their poll tax exemptions.
"The state of Texas." Mrs. Hurling
explained, "encourages its yotffh" to
start voting early by granting poll tax
exemptions to all persons becoming
21 years old during the year in which
the application is made or during the
year prior to the one in which the ap-
plication is made."
This statement, applied to the case
in hand, means that all persons whose
twenty-first birthday falls in 1937 of
1038 are entitled to obtain poll tax
exemptions during this month. Such
an exemption Will, if the individual's
birthday comes before the election
day, permit the holder to vote in the
gtneral city, county, :;alld states elections
scheduled this year,
Mrs; Hurling naturally take* a keen
interest in the youths of today, lor she
isi the mother of Thomas Hailing, a
Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Rice In-
stitute.
'The youths of today are better
trained than ever before." she, claimed.
"They have educational advantages
unheard of a generation ago; they are
far better fitted in every way foi the
tasks before them."
She Urged immediate payment of
poll taxes or securing of excuptons.
for the; final deadline .for receiving the
^privilege of voting ill the state, county.,
and city elections to be held during
I!i38 is January 31.
h'ice students have a special incen-
tive jo pay: poll taxes,1 for the .collection
department , w.is clever enough to
select as collector at Rice the beuuitiful,
li.lented, and blonde Frances Love."
Wednesday night Miss Lo\'e had is-
sued 10(1 exemptions and accepted cash
payment for two receipts, an indica-
tion that..the students are more willing
to take poll taxes if they're free.
She will lx> in the cloisters Friday.
Saturday, and Monday mornings, and
\eill be In the sallyport at noon each
day during the examinaiton period.
