Stevenson For President...
, In a time of mounting international tension, of increasing
inflation, and political realignment, America is in dire need
of a strong, an able, a courageous leader. A leader who is a
tested politician, who is experienced in the mechanics of our
foreign policy, and who is noted for his removal of corruption
from government.
We submit that Adlai Stevenson is the man better qualified
on all these accounts to be President of the United States.
Just since his nomination, instead of weaseling on most issues,
Stevenson faced the American Legion and labor and told both
that special interests would not receive favors which would
harm the American people.
Incorrectly saddled by Republicans with the entire Truman
Record, Stevenson attacked the "Mess in Washington" and re-
ferred to his clean sweep in Illinois as a token of his intention
to route out corruption.
Instead of dodging issues with "I don't know," of war-
mongering, making fantastic budget cut promises, Stevenson
came to the nation supporting the policy of "compromise but
not appeasement" of cutting government spending to the bare
essentials without promising impossible billions to be cut out.
As a mark of Stevenson's honesty and courage he told
Texas Governor Shivers that a compromise must be worked
out on the Tidelands. Certainly a vigorous stand on a very
touchy issue.
Stevenson's personal campaign is certainly the kind of
campaign which all thoughtful Americans wish was traditional
in our history but which has not been seen since the founding
fathers. He did not pillory Nixon. He repudiated the Demo-
cratic chairman's smear by his own stand. He has shown that
he stands unshackled by bosses and by Truman, supporting
what he believes in but going his own way when he believes
he has the better, more honest stand.
Mr. Stevenson asks for facts and gives facts. He has said
he will not indescriminately back Democrats. He has said that
corruption is by the few and in his own words "you don't burn
down the barn to get rid of the rats." We can clean our own
house without our neighbor's help."
For a thorough governmental cleaning, for pared down
expenditures, for balanced economy. for a sound foreign policy,
we advocate Stevenson for President.
In Stadium Tomorrow Night
By DICK KARIG
It will be curtain raising time at the Rice Stadium tomor-
row night at 8:15 PM as the Rice Owls take on the Texas Teen
Red Raiders in what promises to be as exciting a game as any
conference tilt this season. It will be the first Owl contest
of the young season, while the Techsans already have one
encounter under their belts.
RAIDERS STRONG
Fresh from a 48-7 walloping ad-
ministered to West Texas, Tech
fields a formidable array of talent,
featuring mostly sophomores and
juniors. Thirty-four lettermen re-
turn from last year's squad, a team
that vanquished all Border Confer-
ence opponents and dealt a 33-19
defeat to the Southwest Conference
champion Frogs.
CONFERENCE
The Raiders are also a bit ill-tem-
pered as a result of the denial of ad-
mission to the Southwest Confer-
ence and this factor may influence
the outcome considerably. Rice ap-
posed their admission, as they have
opposed the entrance, of any new
members to the conference, and the
people from Lubbock dislike being
scorned.
HOLMES
However, as Tech Sports News
Director Bill Holmes put it, Texas
j*Tech respected the forthright stand
that Rice took on the issue as op-
posed to the indecisive attitude dis-
played by some of the other mem-
bers. Therefore,. anything resulting
from this episode can be classified

Lits To Toil Out
Preferential List
Next Week
By FLORENCE KESSLER
Rush moves into its second week
of hectic name-remembering with
the end slowly coming into view.
Next week the lits will make a
preferential list of the girls whom
they are still interested in rushing.
This will confine each girl to three
4its from which she will select he
f inal choice.
Stanford.
At approximately 7:02 PM on Wednesday, September 24,
the 1952-53 edition of the Rice Student Association started
functioning. This illustrious of obvious leaders in student go-
vernment was called to order by John McClane.
McClane kept a rather firm grip on all business throughout
the meeting, being stumped on
only one or two occasions. These
concerned the replacement of
student officers no longer with us
and McClane, although not commit-
ting himself definitely on the proce-
dure involved, mumbled something
about "it's in the book" or "we're
currently conducting research on
that matter," and all* members were
left with the impression that things
were well under control.
BILLS
John McClintock, bookmaker for
the organisation, asked for the go-
ahead to pay several bills accrued
over the summer months. The mem-
bers let out a menacing moan upon
announcement of a rather large, ob-
scure phone bill. It seems that possi-
bly a member of the Business Ad-
ministration department actually
used the office phone this summer
and payment of the bill is being
withheld until either a contribution
or at least an explanation can be
secured from said department.
. - • HC
Due to the registration of Parke
Davis a vacancy has to be filled on
the Honor Council. It was pointed
out that since the Council is cur-
rently composed entirely of males
and of course, every organisation
needs a secretary,'perhaps a mem-
ber of the "fairer" sex (at least
fairer in most schools) would be
more suitable. Urged on by f this bit
of wisdom, the association members
nominated Julia Picton, Norman
Einspruch, and Margaret Hitson.
Next week the Honor Council gets
to add to the above nominations if
it so desires.
To fill a vacancy in its own or-
ganization the S. A. Unanimously
elected Florence Kessler. Both her
election and the Honor Council se-
lection will terminate in November
when a special student election will
be held.
GUEST TICKETS
A group of interested civilians
stood up on the back row and de-
nounced the price policy on student
guest tickets. Waves of sympathy
spread through the assembly and
after almost twenty minutes of dis-
cussion, motions, and amendments
to motions, a red hot investigating
committee evolved which tfilf cer-
tainly take care of this serious
problem.
A motion was immediately made
to adjourn and carried instantly.
The meetings will continue to be
held on Wednesdays at 7:00. All
students are welcome and perhaps
