THE THRESHER
mdito^dait
The first and only all school election of this term will be
held Monday, 1 April for the purpose of electing: six new mem-
bers to the Student Council and three new members to the
Honor Council, two of the most important organizations on the
Rice Institute campus.
Let's begin with the Student Council. It is written in Ar-
ticle II of the Constitution of the Student Council that:
"The purpose of the Association shall be to unite the stu-
dent body of Rice Institute, to organize and systematize inter-
collegiate and interclass relations and class and privileges, and
to direct such matters pertaining to the best interests of The
Rice Institute as come within the province of the student body."
There is one primary, basic substance behind the success of
the Student Council in their purpose: the election of competent
representative members to the Council. Members of the Council
are official representatives of the student body and it is their
duty to do their utmost in fulfilling the purpose of the Council,
but it is also the duty of each and every student to elect willing
and able members.
The Honor Council is one of the integral parts in the or-
ganization of the student body. Its function is primarily the ful-
fillment of the Honor System as instilled here^at Rice. It is of
the utmost importance that the members are of a selective na-
ture. One can easily see the importance of carefully considering
his vote when participating in the election for members to this
Council.
Monday it shall be the privilege, right and respective duty
to vote in the all school election. Let's make this election one of
100 per cent participation.

Ooodness ha* Rabble seen the light
or is Joe Morales beating his time.
Seen leaving A-House Wednesday
night were Norn Potts and Glenn
Bryan. You aren't* beirijjr untrue to
Murph, are you, Nora? Tip to the
lovelorn: Maybe Bubba Morrison
could rate with Peg Albritton if he
would grow a beard!
Came, come, Alpha! Just what is
the situation between you and Jim-
my? Gorgeous George's latests
flame is Betty Bob Storm. Think she
will fall for your line, George?
Last year Betty Blount Seale sat
next to "Jig Sugar Thomas in
Spanish, and that blossomed into a
big romance. Now she sits next to
George Grininger. Will history re-
peat itself? Mary Wiseman has been
having so-o much fun lately with
George (I'm gone, the Army's got
me) Wray. But wait! What about
Jo Jo?
There was much food for thought
Monday morning when Iris Gracey
returned Nils Muench's shirt and
pants. Her story was that she wore
them home from the bay. Not ex-
plained was what he wore home. A
large crowd showed up at the base-
ball game Saturday. Tempe, Jeanne,
Marthan, and Betty Faye, were the
center of atraction for Leonard,
Gail, Dan, George, John, Wilkins,
Skinny, Farnsworth, Peggy, Kay
Way (I gotta ring!) and Loose w<Te
there with Bruce Moore. The crowd
was kept amused by the "Duel of the
Noses," Mickey and Bob Feldman.
Betty Lee and Billy, Hoot, Stew, and
Eddie Graham found it safer in the
stands than on the tennis courts.
See Trotter or Woody for a super
picture of Jetta. At least they say
it's Jetta. The fresh —oops, sophs
now, finally got around to having
their hay ride Sunday with dear old
"Mother" Camile and Uncle Jack-
son Trotter as chaperones. Since
when did these two get to be chap*
erones? Peggy sent things going
with gales of laughter which were
only increased by Raymond's giggles.
Suspiciously quiet were Betty Blount
and Jimmy, but wasn't everybody
else!

The same crowd was there last win-

missing Eddie Rogers had a cute
blond, his girl from Goose Creek.
Harriet Alderson and "the boy with
the gorgeous tan" Chick Herbert
made a smooth couple.
The "boys" Rudolph Opera Arney,
Billy Tanner, Mickey, and Bill An-
drews really got in the groove when
"Bayless" Dobleman and her shadow
showed u p. Then for the dreamy
numbers there was Don and Ava
Jean "She didn't even get a tan in
California" McDaniel, Jane and Dale
Woody. Old grads showed up-in full
force: Scotty and Addison, Camille,
Muriel, and Glenn Bryan. Seen at
the Bowling Alley last Wednesday
night: Hoot Thomas with the boys;
Hollis, Hardiman Stonestreet, Mc-
Vickers, and Waldo. 'Tis fast com-

of Frankenstein. Room 310 looks like
a scientist's lab when Frey starts
to work on his radio gadgets. Willie
Weaver and Jack Jensen have trans-
formed the attic into a ghost's haunt
