Netters Face
Sooners Tomorrow
The Rice Tennis team under the
direction of newly appointed coach,
George Richey, will begin its sea-
son tomorrow at 1:30 on the Rice
courts with four singles and two
doubles matches against the Okla-
homa Sooners.
Coach Richey, the tennis pro at
the Houston Country Club, has de-
veloped a fine sophomore prospect
in blond Dale Miller, a diminutive
netter, who manages to defeat the
bigger men with much ease. Miller
will be Rice's number four man be-
hind seniors Compton Rees, Wayne
Bennett, and Robin Robinson. Rees
and Robinson are lettermen.

religious in origin, is a roadblock
to the search for truth—as elusive
as it is.
In a positive sense, it is a reveal-
ing experience to anyone in the col-
lege community interested in the
pursuit of knowledge through the
formulation and evaluation of hy-
potheses ^nd the refinement of
ideas to encounter a team of reli-
gious scholars who have achieved
a mature religion through much the
same rigorous, inquisitive process
as this campus employs in its secu-
lar endeavors.
One typical college attiude tow-
ard the place of religion on the
campus is understandably one of
studied disinterest. It is not un-
usual to find that the student has
entered the field of higher learning
with the concept that his religious
views represent "final truth" and
require no re-evaluation, refine-
ment, or growth. A set of adoles-
cent religious concepts which have
become static, crystallized, and brit-
tle is not adequate to hold the re-
spect of a student who is exper-
iencing provocative intellectual ex-
ercises in the scientific method and
other objective techniques of weigh-

tural scientists who tend to cate-
gorize all experience in terms of
the images familiar to them from
their own special fields.
I think that it is important that
we1" should have a regular opportu-
nity to refresh our convictions.
Most of us subscribe to beliefs and
ing evidence and arriving at new
tentative conclusions.
A significant task of Religious
Emphasis Week is to conserve that
which is serviceable and tenable in
the teachings from the past as
these teachings undergo the test of
encountering new evidence and fac-
ing new problems. As this is accom-
plished participants in the exper-
ience can all achieve some measure
of emancipation from the view on
oife extreme that there is nothing
to learn that should be allowed to
alter religious concepts or the view
on the other extreme that there is
nothing to learn from the field of
religion because not all of its ad-
herents subscribe to an adequately
rigorous test of truth.
conduct associated with some reli-
gion or other; however, in our ev-
eryday existence, we tend to over
look opportunities to uphold and
fight for these ideals. Even worse,
we behave in a manner which is
frequently in direct contradiction
with our expoused beliefs. I empha-
size this point because I believe
consistency to be a necessary re-
quirement for any practical phil-
osophy. A great many uncertainties
and conflicting principles exist al-
ready in the world today; it does
not seem necessary to add tensions
arising from inconsistencies. One
who employs deception must torture
himself by remembering all; a con-
sistent man remembers nothing—
he only reads from reality.
The opportunity to meet with
others of conviction and exchange
ideas and experiences is an import-
ant element in striving for consist-
ency. Man's dual nature is a very
real thing; he knows that which is
wrong, and yet that is just what
he does. As a guide in helping a
person face directly the problems
of his own v inconsistencies, I be-
lieve that Religious Emphasis Week
can be of a definite positive value.
I encourage everyone to participate
in the activities to the fullest ex-
tent.

by Sheridan, sophomores Richard
Floyd and Sid Jones, and a "lefty"
who might help is John Gibbs. Hie
latter is a junior scholastically, but
reporting for baseball for the first
.time now that he has a lab sched-
ule which permits him enough af-
ternoon workouts to make it worth-
while to report.
The Owls should have one of the
league's best all-around players in
Park6 "Red" Davis. The husky jun-
ior from Tulsa, Oklahoma, tied with
Devine as the club's top hitter last
season with a .344 mark. As an out-
fielder, he made the all-SWC team
as utility man, and is slated to be
first string catcher this year. Two
infield posts are in good hands in
Willie Witt at second and Tommy
"Moto" Reckling at third base, both
regulars at those positions in '52.
The outfield positions are pretty
much "open" to soph candidates
LaDon Cox, Don Costa, Garland
"Whatey" Fielder, squadman Bill
Bullen, & LeRoy Fenstemaker, sen-
ior Bill Frazier, and whoever does-
n't win out at first base.

COLLEGE STUDENTS PREFER LUCKIES
IN NATION-WIDE SURVEYI
Nation-wide survey based on actual student in-

smokers prefer Luckies than any other cigarette
by a wide margin. No. 1 reason—Luckies' better
taste. Survey also shows Lucky Strike gained
far more smokers in these colleges than the na-
