This is my 1 platform: 1
(1) All yells should be compiled
and inesented to - the? student body.
(2) A, special FRESHMAN yelling
squad should be established under
the sophomores and yell leaders' jur-
isdiction. ' This • would give an organ-
ized Section to lead the. yells.
05) Ail attempt should be made
to get a new fight song which will
be Rice's own.
frl) Every effort should he made
to get, some girl cheer leadcis. Rice's
yelling section needs to be modern-
ized.
(5) More pep rallies shall be held
with typical college activities at
each.
((i) The yelling section should be
rejuvenated with enthusiasm and
