Rice Chosen Site of 1952
TISA State Convention
i
Rice was chosen at the TISA state convention in El Paso
last week as site of the state convention next year, winning
out over a bid by S. M. U.
Some 200 delegates from 34 Texas colleges and universities
met in El Paso tp_ discuss and consider the various aspects of
student government in Texas
schools. Many constructive
ideas and suggestions were
made, which if adopted by the* ad-
ministrations of the various schools,
can make a great improvement in
student life.
Hal DeMoss, chairman of the
TISA Resolutions Committee made
a motion calling f6r closer relations
between students and faculty. The
motion passed unanimously. The
motion was adopted to help check
the increasing trend toward imper-
sonalization of student-faculty and
student-administration relations.
A new by-law to the TISA con-
stitution passed calling on each
school to set its Thanksgiving holi-
day in accordance with the legal
date set by the governor. A resolu-
tion also passed unanimously recom-
mending that the member schools of
TISA -janifonsi dates iofc holi-
days during the 1952-1953 school
year. The following dates were sug-
gested: Thanksgiving, Nov. 26-Dec.
1; Christmas, Dec. 20-Jan. 5; Easter
April 2-7.
Four Texas schools were approved
for membership in the state body.

name listed there. No write-ins will
be counted. Deposit the ballot in the
boxes placed in the Lounge and Ab-
ercrombie Lab entrance.

in next week's Thresher.
