Weekend Doings...
The absence of the week-end excuse for partying this time of year
- the football game—had no dampening effect whatsoever on the exuberant
spirits of our young people this weekend.
It seems a flood of Rice students has lately taken a heretofore un-
evidenced interest in a certain movie at the Academy. . . . The Stadium
Lounge was the Saturday night scene of a gay group which included a
few recent Rice-ex's: Carolyn Coy and Chas. Bishop, Murray Wilkerson
and Norman Moore (now at Texas Med. School), Sarah Luger and Van
Smith, Adele Hestwood and Ber Peeper. . . . Investigating The Sands
were Carol Smith, Tommy Reckling and Geo. Wilson after the St. Thos.-
Reagan game . . . also Gene Schwinger.
Open Houses ...
On Wednesday night the various classes renewed their spirits and
unity at open houses. The senior party was held at Barbara Madden's.
Of course Richard Chapman was there and also prexy Jim O'Brien, Paul
Cochran, Jan Price, Judy Garland et al.
Juniors entertained themselves with chatter and refreshments at the
home of Elsa Holland. A few there were Watso" Link, Jim Allison. Thad
Putman, Cal Lacy, Mo Keathley, Fred Duckett, Al Weymouth, and Ray
Montgomery.
Sophomores enjoyed a gay evening of dancing and harmonizing at
Ann Bown's. The Rybas, Carolyn Turner, Bob Buck, Carol Lane, Pat
Adelman, John Brasher, and Fred Woods were among those present.
Surprise . . .
On September 25 Richard Steed was honoree at a surprise birthday
party given at the apartment of M .L. and Skip Lee. . . . Mary Coy
surprised Ross Rumph with a birthday dinner on Sept. 21. Getting in
their twenty licks were: Clayton Stone and Gretchen Ferris, Joyce Gibson
and Gus Schill, Pam Riley and Austin Scott, Nancy Moore and Charlie
Davis, Harvey Jewett and Cheryll Madison—thence to the Academy! . . .
Cake and ice cream were served at a surprise party for John Lyle at
Ann Krachey's on September 26. Present wei-e Bill Lee, Kneel Ball, John
McClintock, Hutch Hutchinson, and Howard Martin.
By BILL GORDON
"Besides teaching school and
getting some work out of a few
students, while in Houston, I
really want to get a fresh view
of the new South and become
better acquainted with Houston, one
of its products," mentioned Dr. Wil-
liam B. Hesseltine, this year's M.D.
Anderson Visiting Professor in Hu-
manities, who is on leave-of-absence
from his regular position as Pro-
Lost Weekends . . .
A&M vs. U. of H. attracted Ricites Camilla Cloud, Chas. Davis, and
Doug Sorrell. . . . Bill Roper journeyed to Austin. . . . Harvey Jewett to
Iowa. . . . Mike Kelley and Ellen Elziardi, Bill Lindsay and Janey Hopkins,
Jo Miller and Philip B. Sherwood, Bill Collins and M. A. Mewhinney, and
Joe Wheeler and Nicholl were chased by a Galveston hi-tide from the
beach to Stewart Road for partying—which climaxed at Mike Kelley's
house in Houston.
Social Etc....

members. Tapping the keg were Bob Cargill, prexy, Fred Lux, Russell
Baird, Mike Horwitz, Bill Gorden, Brad Thompson, Dale Albaugh, Roddy
Martin, "Adm." Lacey and Dave Hawtoff among about fifty others. . . .

Korges, and Sandy Havens were named directors. . . . The DeMolay Club,

fessor of History at the University
of Wisconsin.
Dr. Hesseltine is an outstanding
authority in the field of Southern
History and will be concerned with
this field in his history course,
graduate seminar, and public lec-
ture series while at Rice.
Dr. Hesseltine's history course,
History 395, is on "The History of
the South" and his graduate semi-
nar is entitled "The War Between
The States."
An alumnus of Washington and
Lee University, Dr. Hesseltine re-
ceived his Ph.D. degree from Ohio
State University in 1928 and a_Litt.
D. from his alma mater in 1949. He
has been at the University of Wis-
consin for the past twenty years.
Dr. Hesseltine is the author of
nine history books, one of which,
"The History of the South," is a
standard college text. His latest
work, "Pioneer's Mission" will be
published in January. It is the story
of Lyman Copeland Draper, a his-
torian who gathered a great collec-
tion of documentary material on the
Price Given
Pan Am Grant
Arthur Roy Price, graduate chem-
ical engineering student, was re-
cently awarded the Pan American
Refining Corporation fellowship
which has been renewed again this
year at Rice Institute.
Price will use this grant to fur-
ther work on his dissertation on
"Vapor-liquid Equilibria of the
Methane-Elthane-Propane System."
L. W. Moore, president of Pan
American, said, "In so far as we are
concerned, the granting of fellow-
ships has several major objectives.
Fellowships provide an opportunity
for industrial organizations to con-
tribute directly to fundamental re-
search and assist financially in the
development of first-class graduate
students who might otherwise be
unable to receive graduate training.
The fellowships also help to stimu-
late research in the petroleum and
peti-ochemical fields and strengthen
the chemistry and chemical engin-
eering departments of the universi-
ties by providing funds for the pur-
chase of permanent equipment."
Other universities where Pan
American has 1 established fellow-
ships are: Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, University of Illi-
nois, University of Texas, Univer-
sity of Kansas, and University of
South and West. This Draper collec-
tion is now at the University of
Wisconsin with which Draper was
connected during the last half of
the Nineteenth Century.
Having visited the Rice campus
two years ago when he lectured on
"Regionalism in Democracy," Dr.
Hesseltine speaks highly of the
type of "intellectual integrity" ex-
hibited at the Institute.

ON BRIDGE
As previously announced, the
Rice Bridge Club will hold its first
meeting of the year tonight at 7:30
in the lounge. All members are
urged to attend as there will be an
election to fill the office of Treasur-
er and to choose the Board of Di-
rectors. Everyone interested in the
Bridge Club, who is not a member,
is cordially invited. There will be a
duplicate tournament following the
meeting.
The predominate system of bid-
ding in use today is the Goren Point
Count System. The Goren System
has surpassed the Culbertson Sys-
tem because of it ssimplicity and
its more accurate evaluation of the
hand. Goren has given the honor
cards numerical values in propor-
tion to their trick taking ability.
These numerical values are: 4 for
Aces, 3 for Kings, 2 for Queens, and
1 for Jacks.
In suit bidding, distributional
points are also given. Voids count
3, singletons count 2, and doubletons
count 1. Distributional points should
not be added to points given for
honor cards, except in the case of
Aces. An example would be Jack-X,
counted as 1 point.
If the suits are evenly distribut-
ed, there are only 40 honor card
points around the table." To open a
bid of one in a suit*, your hand must
contain 13 points. To open one no-
trump, 16 points are required. A
total of 26 points between partners
should produce game in no-trump
or in a major suit. 29 points in a
minor suit should also produce
game.
Further discussions as to bidding
and also rebidding will follow in
later columns.
