Yearbook In Color
Too Expensive,

page in the section at an additional
cost of $465.21 each. Nor does it in-
clude the initial cost of obtaining,
developing, and printing the koda-
ehromes.
Because of the foregoing expenses,
the 1950 executive staff, after care-
ful consideration of methods to fi-
nance the project, decided against
even a full color beauty and favorite
section. It should also be noted that
the Gulf Publishing Company, and
the Rein Company, Houston's two
leading publishing houses, both ad-
vised against the expenditure be-
cause of the ever prevalent possi-
bility of at least one of the colors
being slightly off-register and there-
by ruining the entire effect.
As editor of your 1950 Campanile,
I felt compelled to bring these facts
to the attention of you, the Rice stu-
dent, in the hope that you will care-
fully consider the added expenses
of a natural color book and remem-
ber the debt past annuals have in-
curred without reference to any ex-
tra colors.
Sincerely yours,
Gloria Wilson, Editor

The engagement and approaching
marriage of Beverly Hawkins and
Carrol Camden was announced last
Sunday. The couple has set June 12
for the wedding.
Also announced Sunday was the
approaching marriage of Mary Jo
Roberts and Buster Matteson, who
have set June 9 as their big day.
This couple was chosen to be the
guests of a new program, Engage-
ment Party, held each Sunday eve-
ning. Last Sunday, Mary Jo and
Buster were presented with many
gifts for their future home.
News has drifted to this office of
the engagement of Douglas Maclay
and Gretchen Thannhouser. We ex-
tend our hearty congratulations.
We are happy to announce the
wedding date of Pat Amsler and
George Hansen. They have decided
on June 24. We know this will be
a happy day for Pat and George,
as well as a day for much excite-
ment among a large circle of friends.

The first meeting of the newest
exclusive organization of Rice stu-
dents was held last Saturday night,
at the home of the C. 0. Pledges
were taken in and empty beer cans
were thrown out. The party ended
on a rather low note when the
going-home bus had a flat tire at
one AM. Members insist that they
are not discouraged, in spite of the
fact that not a single one of the
group had more than ten cents in
pockets or purse. Another "meeting"
of this evclusive club is scheduled in
the near future.

The Dirty Shame was the scene of
a party given in honor of newly
elected politicians last Monday night.
Most members of the group were
celebrating, but a few seemed to be
there for other purposes. Entertain-
ment was provided the guests in the
form of a game which had to do with
the participant's ability to perform
mathematical computations with the
number seven. Since slide rules were

The collection is really the fore-
runner of "Poor Richard's Almanap"
which didn't come out until the mid-
dle 18th century whereas this col-
lection dates back to medieval Eng-
land or the 13th century. It contains
all kinds of information which the
modern student would be interested
in knowing and surprisingly enough,
not a few questions used on quiz
shows have been taken from copies
of this Baker collection. It contains
information dealing with economic,
social, and political aspects of an-
glo-Saxon England, as well as the
various religious controversies that
arose in this period.
The Magna Cbarta is discussed at
length, as well a?*the royalty con-
i rolling the throne at this time. Since
t hese facts would be of vital interest
to students of American Government
and British History, I would rec-
ommend it to those professors who
teach such courses. If the student
who has an off hour would browse
around this part of the library, he
would undoubtedly be amazed at the
wealth of information contained in
this collection available to one and
all.

be one of the most spectacular ex-
hibits in the show, with the area
in the rear of the parking lot to be
transformed to a combined marsh
and mountain range.
The business administration de-
partment will give hourly lectures
on income tax problems. Among sub-
jects covered will be—how to keep
a special set of books for Uncle
Sam, how to benevolently calculate
dependents, and how to be happy
though incarcerated. The philosophy
department will contribute to this
last series of lectures.
