Deadline Extended
For Vanity Fair
Appointments for beauty and fav-
orite candidates for the 1950 Cam-
panile will be taken at Gregg Stu-
dio, 125 West Alabama, through
November 19, Gloria Wilson, editor,
has announced.
Originally scheduled to be com-
pleted by this Saturday, the photo-
graphic contract has been prolonged
to help out those girls who have
been hesitant about making appoint-
ments because of bad weather and
the fear of not being "at their
best" during October.
Mr. Paul Gregg, who has a repu-
tation of securing the best possible
poses from each girl, was chosen to
be the Vanity Fair photographer
because of his high rating in his
profession. Each jjirl is assured of
individual attention from the photo-
grapher since he devotes from thir-
ty minutes to an hoiir to each one.
The judge for the beauty section
this year is a nationally known mod-
el agent who chooses his models for
their natural beauty rather than
because of the way they part their
hair, as judges in previous years
have done.
Since all Rice girls posses a type
of "natural beauty" which distin-

of the student branch ASME will'

they are urged to make their studio
appointments at once. Contact Glor-
ia Wilson, Lee Mary Parker, Eugen-
ia Harris, C o 11 e 11 a Ray, Casey
Croom, or; Betty Keyser immedi-
ately if you want to be eligible for
the beauty or the favorite section.
Girls who have a chance to be
elected a school favorite on Novem-
ber 29 should make certain of having
their picture in the book by making
their appointment now. The Cam-
panile staff does not intend to let
anyone know whether or not they
are in the Vanity Fair section before
the spring semester is half over.
Favorites who do not have their
pictures made now may find them-
selves just a name in the Vanity
Fair section, Gloria warned.

tives from Rice, Texas A&M, Sam
Houston State Teachers College, and

SMU Over Texas;
Rice Over Tech
Last Saturday, as Minnesota,
North Carolina, Kentucky, and
Pittsburgh were defeated for the
first time, another "football power"
bit the dust.
The predicting team of Martin
and Lockhart first tasted defeat
after 12 straight correct guesses
when Arkansas upset Vanderbilt
7-6. The record now stands at 13-1,
a .929 average.
The defeat was a happy one,
though, for the Southwest Confer-
ence gained prestige as the injury-
ridden Porkers took a supposed
southern power into camp. South-
west Conference teams now hold
victories over teams like Kentucky,
Clemson, Indiana, Vanderbilt, Miss-
issippi, Missouri, and Wake Forest.
It seems that quite a few coaches
have been complaining to the press
here lately about officiating, gen-
eral conditions and crying "Gee we
shoulda won it, we wuz robbed."
It speaks well for Rice coaches that
they didn't do any complaining after
some questionable decisions in the
S.M.Uu game. We would like to be-
lieve that as little would have been
said had the Owls lost that one.
Texas vs S.M.U.—This week's
feature pits the Long horns against
the Mustangs. We'll have to string
along with the Ponies. They know
they have to win this one and they
aren't likely to muff any scoring
chances as the Steers did in the Rice
game.
Rice vs Texas Tech:—Coach Neely
isn't likely to risk any further in-
jury to key men, in this outing but
even so the Techsans don't have
enough to halt the upsurging Owls.
Rice by 34 to 0.

Ellington Air Show,
Plane Display Opened
To All November 6
The beginning of Cadet Naviga-
tion Training at Ellington Air Force
Base will be celebrated by an air
show Sundtiy, November 6, at 9 AM.
Several types of planes will be on
display at 1 PM. On exhibit will be
a B29, F82, F86, C97A, C47 Air
Evacuation Ship, C54 Hospital Ship,
Radiological defense equipment, and
the latest synthetic navigation train-
ing devices and aids.
In the aerial displays will be a
formation of fifty-four T6's from
Randolph Air Base, a formation of
twenty B25's, a formation of F82's
and flying acrobatics. B45's and
B'29's will fly over the field, a P36
will perform solo acrobatics, and a
formation of F51's will perform in
a dive bombing exhibition. The Ae-
ro-Jets, a famous flying team, will

Nicholas to Speak
On 'Chemistry of
Breathing/ Sunday
The second in the series of public
faculty lectures will be held this
Sunday in the Fondren Library Lec-
ture Lounge. Dr. H. O. Nicholas, As-
sociate Professor of Chemistry, will
discuss "The Chemistry of Breath-
ing".
Dr. Nicholas will explain that al-
though most people think respir-
ation is simply a matter of taking
in oxygen and letting out carbon
dioxide, it really consists of many
complicated chemical processes, lie
will discuss briefly the actions of
haemoglobin and of sodium bicar-
bonate.
The chemical reactions that take
place in the lungs and in the tissues,
and the release of carbon dioxide to
return to the lungs for excretion will
be explained. He will comment on
the mechanical factors involved in
getting the proper amount of oxy-
gen to the tissues, including the
difficulties concerning anemia, car-
bon-monoxide poisoning and the con-
dition present in "blue babies".
Finally he will explain the fact
that haemoglobin and sodium bi-
carbonate are involved in keeping
a certain normally alkaline con-
dition in the blood, sometices refer-
red to as the "acid-base balance",
which is a part of the breathing
process.
Dr. Nicholas will then demon-
strate the type of apparatus used
to determine the amount of oxygen
and carbon dioxide in the blood.
These are used in chemical labor-
atory analyses in the case of "blue
babies", etc.
