500 Rice Drivers
Sign Safety Pledge
In Two Days
Over 500 of the approximately
1000 registered automobile operators
on the Rice campus signed a pledge
to drive safely as part of a safe driv-
ing campaign Monday and Tuesday.
Sponsors of the drive emphasized
that although only half the drivers
on the campus signed the pledge,
many more were caused to think
about the consequences of driving
recklessly by a completely wrecked
car which was placed in front of
Fondren Library during the drive.
The drive, the first safety cam-
paign ever held at Rice was spon-
sored by Alpha Phi Omega in con-
junction with the Service Clubs Traf-
fic Safety Commission of Houston.
over roadways or walks. Signs shall
not exceed 12 square feet, and hand-
bills or leaflets that are free to blow
around the campus may not be used.
Expenses incuri-ed in the election
may not exceed $25. An expense ac-
count must be turned in to a member
of the election committee before
noon Saturday, October 27. Any can-
didate not furnishing an expense
account will be automatically dis-
qualified.
Israel Faces Many
Problems-- Welsch

raelites. The Arabs have many just
causes for complaint.
The refugee problem is severe;
right across the frontier at one place
thei-e is a large refugee camp from
which the Arabs can look over the
land that they and their families
had occupied for centuries and that
is now being tilled by people who
have only had passession of it for
a few months.
Fear Fifth Column
The government of Palestine does
not want the Arab refugees back
because they fear, and rightly so, the
formation of a strong fifth column.
Israel is also faced with a grave
dollar shortage. In an attempt to
provide land for her rapidly in-
creasing population, she has to im-
port much more than she can yet
hope to export.
The government of Israel is lean-
ing heavily upon the United States,
depending upon donations from the
Zionists here in America as well as
upon government loans.
Mr. Welsch also noted that the
necessity of maintaining a large
standing army is a big drain on the
national treasury.
The third main problem facing the
government of Israel is the assimila-
tion of all the various nationalities
represented and the provision of ir-
rigated lands for new settlers. Into
the melting pot that Israel has be-
come has been poured Jews from
North Africa and the near east, and
the European Jews, each type having
different backgrounds and customs.
The government hopes to liave the
different groups assimilated by the
next generation.
Remarkable Progress
The progress made in the fields
Of building and irrigation is really
remarkable, Mr. Welsch states. Land
is needed badly for new settlers and
the latest methods of irrigation are
being used.
Industry is being encouraged to
establish plants in Palestine.
Kaiser-Frazer Corporation has es-
tablished a plant at Haifa, the
growing industrial center of the
country.
Interest in Culture
Mr. Welsch was particularly im-
pressed by the great interest of the
people in Htei-ature, music, and oth-

Date Changed
Changes in the dates of the 1968
Commencement arid Baccaulaureate
Services were announced today by
Assistant to the President Dr. Wil-
liam Masterson. The Baccaulaureate
will be held Thursday, June 5. Com-
mencement will be the following
day—Friday, June 6. Both services
will be held in the late afternoon.
The purpose of the change, an-
nounced Dr. Masterson, was to en-
able parents of graduates who come
from out of the city to be present
at both services.
er forms of culture. The demand is
so great, he says, that there is an
acute shortage of skilled instructors
in Palestine. The youth of Israel re-
mind him of American youth with
their free and easy self-confidence.
Definitely, Israel has a perilous
time ahead. With the antagonism
between the Arabs and the Jews,
the tense economic situation, and
the problem of providing for a
rapidly growing population, Mr.
Welsch says that the country has
many years ahead before it can
even begin to come into its own.
But he adds that the people of
Israel have a determination to suc-
