THE THIB8IIK
Wedding Bells
To Ring
For Rice Students
As the doors opened last Monday
to the "eager" throng of returning
students, one topic dominated con-
versation. All talk was directed to-
ward the numerous marriages and
engagements suddenly engulfing the
Rice campus. If one considers the
leap year factor though, this is
probably only the beginning.
% Already bearing the title of "Mrs"
are Jean Kleine now Mrs. Brad Ar-
mendt, Virginia Wilson currently
Mrs. Carl Graef, and Jean Biggers
recently Mrs. Charles Adams. Plan-
ning to take the final step next
month are Sandra Bourgoin and
Bill Howton along with Sarah
Faulkner and Jim Jackson on Feb-
ruair* 2, Florine Sowar and Kent
Bencrall on February 5, Mary Ann
Denny and R.C. Derryberry on Feb-
ruary 8, and Margie Perry and Dick
Rauch completing the schedule on
February 16.
Couples now bearing the engaged
title are Rose Mary Cook and Her-
man Hampton of the class of 1949,
Betsy Balstrom and George Wray
also of the class of 1949, Joan Clut-
ter and Frank Worley of the Uni-
versity of Houston, Judith Reeves
and Tommy Comstock of Texas A &
M. and Joan Davis and George
O'Loary. Those part of the present
Rice population also on the engaged
list are Carol Wheeler and John Hill,
Karles Bown and Edwin Bradberry,
and Elizabeth McGinty and George
Laigle.
Probably the prize remark on the
whole situation was made last Mon-
day in .Shakespeare class when one
unattached female groaned patheti-
cally that she was the only one on
her row who was not engaged!
Selective Service

year take the College Qualification
Test so that he thereby becomes
eligible for consideration for a II-S
deferment for the next year.
Whether a man is clasified I-S or
TI-S, it is a deferred classification,
and not a postponement of induction,
General Hershey pointed out. At the
end of the academic y ear, the local
board must reopen the classification
to determine whether he qualifies
for any classification other than I-A.
Following the period the local board
is reconsidering his case, a student
has the right, if he is not deferred
for another year, to enlist in the
service of his choice, and his right
to enlist in the service of his choice,
General Hershey revealed, continues
until he is oi-dered to report for in-
duction. The Selective Service law,
however, prohibits a man from en-
S. A. By-Laws
(Continued from Page 1)
as they appear the By-Laws put
down in permanent form rules which
give a large measure of the powers
and privileges of our Student Asso-
ciation.
It is true that there is a great deal
wrong with our By-Laws. Parts of
it do sound dull and this precedes a
series of articles designed as criti-
cisms. The important demand of our
By-Laws is that they should be
practical. In a number of ways they
fail in that respect, and for that
reason they should be changed. An
important factor in why our By-
Laws do not seem practical to us is
that the average student does not
know of the opportunities made a-
vailable to him. Did you know that
the Administration gives us more
freedom for self government than
any other school in th^ South West
Conference ?
If you have ideas or complaints,
come to council meeting and make
them heard where they will do the
most good. But first know what you
are talking about?* The By-Laws are
in the Student Association office.
Student Council meeting is on Wed-
nesday night. If not awe inspiring
the By-Laws are at least an ex-
tremely important implimentation
of our privileges as y^ung adults to
run our own affairs and enrich our
lives. It is unfoi'tunate that the
average Rice Owl is not aware of the
opportunities given him. He leaves a
small number of students the re-
sponsibilities and pleasures of our
limited self government. We all suf-
fer for it.
listing in the service of his choice
once he has been ordered to report
for induction.
Although the Selective Service law
allows a man to enlist at any time
until ordered to report for induction,
General Hershey explained, the
Army. Navy, and Air Force, in July
1950. agreed not to accept any man
for enlistment in any of the services
after he has been notified to report
for his Selective Service preinduc-
tion physical examination. In June
1951, the Department of Defense
i cscinded the interservice agreement
and have periodically extended the
period until March 31, 1952. There-
fore. any student desiring, in Janu-
ary, to enlist in the service of his
choice will have the opportunity,
General Hershey observed, and it
appears probable that those students
completing their academic year in
June 1952, will also have ample op-
portunity to enlist in the service of
their choice.

Owls Meet Aggies
Tonight At A&M
By THRESHER SPORTS STAFF
Conference cage play begins in earnest next week with
several important contests on the card. Of interest to Rice
students in particular will be the Owl-Texas A&M clash at
College Station tonight. Following that game, the Owls will
return home to take on the Texas quintet next Tuesday night
on Autry Court.
The Aggies, having finished sec-
ond in the Cotton Bowl Tournament,
have claimed one victory in league
competition so far. They edged the
Hesterless Arkansas five last Satur-
day 47-42. Jewell McDowell, flashy
Aggie guard, can be expected to
display some of his expert ball-
handling.
The Longhorns have not fared as
well as A&M against conference
foes. Following a trouncing by Bus-
ter Brannon's Frogs, the Steers re-
bounded to cop a 41-81 decision from
SMU to even their record. Ted Price,
the six-foot-eight-inch center, is
still the man to watch on the Texas
squad.
The individual scoring race among
the conference player* hag remained
much the same. TCU's George Me-
Leod leads the pack with 849 point*
in 14 games followed by Ralph John-
son of Baylor with 184 markers.
Longhorn Jim Dowles, by virtue of
13 points scored against SMU,
moved up to take over the number
four slot from Maurice Teague.
Teague was held to seven points in
the Frog game Tuesday, bringing
his total to 159.
