THE THRESHER
1949-50 At The Rice Institute
Here's the latest
aerial photo of the In-
stitute campus showing
the site of the new stadium
and parking areas drawn to scale
in the upper right part of the pic-
ture. The new field house has been
roughly sketched in its approximate lo-
cation where Tony's barns used to be. The
road leading past the tennis courts will be
straightened and extended to the front of the new
gymnasium.
Made by Harper Leiper Company, Photographers
(Harper is class of '38), the picture shows the location of
the president's home (encircled at the bottom left) and the
new dormitory, North Hall, (arrow) adjoining the tennis courts.
" Eight by ten inch reprints of the photo may be obtained from
Harper Leiper Co., 1009 Isabella, in Houston.

Trades Council of the AFL picketed Brown & Root. In return, as the
picture above shows, Rice students picketed the pickets.
