Louisianans by doing a little grand
standing from the grandstand. He
couldn't jump over the rail to meet
their cheerleaders—oh, no, he had to
fall over head first into the rose
bushes. But one of their "little" gii-1
cheerleaders pulled him out.
All the ardent Rice student sup-
porters cast their vote for Mr. Mc-
Call as the Rice fan who is his team's
best follower. All those in his car,
Mildred, Foxie, T. Buriser, Diane, and
G. Brown, etc.. and those who fol-
lowed in Muriel's auto, appreciated
his interest, his enthusiasm, and his
meals on the way over and back.
After the Game
Some of us planned to attend the
LSU dance after the game, but after
rounding Andy up for "Stag" Burke,
waiting for Wicks to get dfessed,
and pulling Hoot and Camille out
of the bar, the dance wa^just about
over—in fact, all the lights in the
field house were out. So we adjourn-
ed to an eatery, then "Hill's", then

As Dance Gimax
The Rice Terrace Saturday night
was the setting for a truly grand
dance sponsored by the OWLS and
Rally-Clubbers. The banquet preced-
ing the dance started things off
with a bang, with speeches—so-
called—by Corbett and Goodearle,
and delicious steaks for all.
Sammy Harris' orchestra was very
much in evidence and gave out with
some indescribable numbers includ-
ing two renditions of "Caledonia"—
also indescribable. Everyone who
didn't make the trip to Baton Rouge
appeared, including Mesdames
Tresch and Newnham, who thor-
oughly enjoyed themselves.
The climax of the evening was in
the presentation of the OWLS
pledges by Rally-Club president,
John Whittenberg. Each pledge was
given a nose-gay corsage,'and walk-
ed the whole length of the ballroom
through aisles made by white
streamers.
Spots caught each girl as she
made her way to the platform where
a group picture was made. All the
Li'l gals looked mighty glamorous,
especially Patty Airhart, who drew
those long, low whistles, and Nora,
who < was sweet as ever. Lookin'
pretty as ever were Maidel, Alpha,
Betty, Margie, Eloise, Lola Mar-
garet, Peggy, Iris, Ann, Bettye
Mathis, Sara Lu, and Marilyn.
A very effective end was produc-
ed by the pledges dancing with their
Rally-Club escorts, including Mur-
phey, Jo-Jo, Howard Smith, Man-
ning, Jack, and Lucy. On the whole,
credit goes to these two clubs for
Such a wonderful dance.

Gray Bonnett" after each touchdown
and before other kickoffs, the "Fight
Song" when we need the spirit, and
"Rice's Honor* 'again at the closing
gun.
Plans for uniforms were also tak-
en up, and, according to Smith, the
business manager, the band will ap-
pear in uniform at the Southwestern
game. Some drills are being planned
"as soon as the boys can walk and
play at the same time."
Interest from all sides has been
expressed in the band, from students
to alumni to plain feetball fans, so
we all should be proud of our "toot-
ers."
The band now numbers about thir-
ty-five members. Mr. Cameron is
faculty advisor and director; Charles
Roe is the student leader; Howard
Smith is business manager; Charles
Lucky is librarian; and Benton Cain
also deserves credit for lots of help.
ROTC members include Jack Pear-
son, Jerry Smelz, E. F. Houser, C.
M. Reid, Arthur Green, and W. R.
Miller. V-12ers..are R. R. Ray, W. H.

prints of these notorious boys. They
are printed in full in this book. In
case of emergency, look it up. Be
careful, however, for John's right
is more like Boling's left than it is
like his own. Although these facts
seem astonishing, they are better in-
terpreted when compared with facts
concerning identical twins that were
raised apart.
Among other illustrations are
those of the family of John Sebas-
tian Bach to show the inheritance
of genius and a new approach to the
Kalikak family showing the influ-
ence of both heredity and economic
factors.
This book should prove good read-
ing, not only to the students of
Genetics, but to everyone as a source
of concise and well presented knowl-
edge on a highly enlightening sub-
ject.

[ Kittrell discovered the fact that
I the key to one hotel room fitted
j every other one in the place (it was
I real modern!) so she and Landram
I went snooping around in the middle
| of the night. Reilly lost his voice, per
i usual, but Ellis kept hers, amazingly
I enough; she must be getting in
| training.

Many, Many Others
Other Riceites racing or stagger-
ing around the place were Sue Hay-
nie and Allen James (that was a
pretty zooty bar, eh?) Beverly Tay-
j lor, (yep, she finally made it), Holly
Sheehan, and numerous others.
All together, the trip, the game,
the fun afterward, the free site-see-
ing, and the gay spirit egged on by
good natured hosts made a hang-up
affair.
Oh, yeah! We finally found out
about lstrouma; it doesn't mean any-
thing. It's the name of an old In-
dian tribe. See ya' in Austin.
