Paii- at the Lone Star Bridge Tour-
nament of last September. With 190
as average, they ended the first
session with a score of only 206.
However, in the ' evening session
they came through with a score of
249 to win by only one point. This
is the first time that the Rice Open
Pair has been won by a Rice stu-
dent.
Second were Mrs. Hilda Lundy
and Mr. Dan Carrol with a total of
545. They won the second session
with a score of 256, but only had a
score of 198 in the first session.
Third were Mr. Carl Mulvey and
Mr. Jerry Owens, while fourth were
Mr. Bob Sharp and Mr. Jerome Le-
vy.
We had a record turn out of six-
teen tables. It was really gratifying
to see so many students partietpit-
ing. It would be wonderful i£ we
could have more students appea$£on
Friday nights. All of the plajfers
^agreed that this was the finest tour-
nament that the Rice Club had $?er
held. We hope to have a bigger and
better one next year.
The winners for last Friday's
team-of-four tournament were Har-
ry Clampett, H. A. Smith, H. A.
Cromwell and Mr. Turcotte. We had
only three tables. This small turn-
out must cease. Remember, we're
having a tournament tonight in the
Student Lounge, and we want at
least six tables. Can you be there?
The "Top Hat-ters"
Threshing It Out
To the Students;
On the behalf of the Religious
Council I would like to report-that
the first Religious Emphasis Week
at Rice was a complete success.
This is not only the Council's view,
but also that of many in the stu-
dent body.
Many organized groups and spe-
cific individuals deserve the sincere
gratitude of the entire school. Al-
though the individual listing of the
names and accomplishments of
these persons would be very
lengthy, here are some whom we
would like to thank: y &
The APO, all publicity workers,
persons who worked on Rfeligious
Council committees, the lifers who
moved the tables in the Commons,
the boy waiters who serve$ at Co-
hen House, all the religious groups,
the members of the faculty, the
school administration, the Rice Co-
op, the literary societies, Mr. Gar-
ner and the dormitory personnel,
the ROTC for the use of equip-
ment, the Thresher, Helen Chill-
man, the Rally Club and many oth-
ers. Each and every one had a part
in this project.
It is hoped that next year's REW
will be even a greater success. To
this end, we request advice and crit-
icism that will improve the pro-
gram.
Sincerely,
Fred Harvie
To the Editor:
I wish to protest bitterly against
certain practices going on in regard
to Religious Emphasis Week. First
of all, let me state that I have no
objection, to the existence of a Re-
ligious Emphasis Week as such, nor
to the dismissal of classes during
the meetings. As long as nobody
tried forcibly to emphasize me I
raised no outcry. But when the
Roost starts closing its doors dur-
ing a meeting of Religious Em-
phasizers, this becomes an affront
to my individual liberty. Who is
responsible for this outrage, and
what on earth is the point? Reli-
gion is hardly something that can
be pushed down people's throats
like a breakfast cereal, and I dare
say there are a goodly number of
Riceites who do not feel that lec-
tures and discussion groups are the
way to acquire it. Furthermore, it
is extremely doubtful that anyone
not planning to go to the religious
meeting would be returned to the
paths of salvation by the mere fact
of being unable to obtain his morn-
ing coffee. Quite the contrary, in

All the roads
lead to Kankakee
V\A
Some routes, naturally, are longer than
others. But if there is less traffic on them,
they might get you to Kankakee faster.
The same holds true of your Long
Distance calls. When circuits are tempo-
rarily busy on the most direct route for
your call, a new electronic brain in the
telephone office automatically selects alter-
nate routes. They may be hundreds of
miles longer, but the detour saves you time.
And the entire operation of selection
and rerouting is done in a split second!
The Bell System people who perfected,
maintain and operate this electronic
switching system have one goal: to make
the best telephone service in the world
even better. Would you like to join this
competent, aggressive team?
There are many opportunities in the
Bell System—in engineering, business ad-
ministration, accounting, and other fields.
Your Placement Officer can give you the
details.
