Little Red Riding Hood
Action Packed Drama
The SL's will present an action
packed drama, Little Red Riding
Hood, (or: How Subversive Can
You Get?), at A-House on Octo-
ber 27 and 28. The plot of the play
concerns a question of vital import-
ance to everyone: Will Communism
overrun our 100% American folk-
lore ?
Each act is filled with action and
suspense. Communism vies with
Democracy. Innocence vies with ev-
il. Lust vies with duty. Espionage
runs rampant, and delicate romance
blooms amidst constant danger.
Written by the brothers O'Keefe
and under the superb direction of
Sharon Camp and Rudy Kroehler,
the play combines high drama and
sophisticated comedy with the dra-
matic relief of lilting songs and
graceful dances.
ON BRIDGE
Over 30 members were present
at the first meeting of the year
for the Rice Bridge Club. Elections
to fill vacancies were held. Phil
Martin was elected secretary and
Tony Vail will be the new treas-
urer. To complete the Board of Di-
rectors, Dr. Brown, Judy Robey,
and Barbara Heinrick were chosen.
Paul Mengden, president, and Shir-
ley Motter, vice-president, were al-
ready on the Board.
Following the tournament, Mr.
Stone discussed the club's activi-
ties with the Board of Directors.
Mr. Stone is vice-president of the
Houston Bridge League. He as-
sured the club of the League's sup-,
port. A decision was reached as to
outsiders playing in the tourna-
ments. Until further action by the
club, all tournaments, except Mas-
ter Point tournaments, are open
to Rice Students only. On Master
Point night, outsiders will be
charged a fee of one dollar to
play. There will be no charge for

French Paintings On

'French Paintings since Cezanne,"
the current exhibit at the Museum
of Fine Arts, is a must for all lov-
ers of modern painting. Artists

munities on 51 college and univer-
sity campuses. Applications for the
test must be post-marked no later
than midnight, Monday, November
2.
Applicants for the test will
mail applications to Educational
Testing Service in self-addressed
envelopes which will be given
to them at local boards with in-
formation bulletins and applica-
tion blanks.
To be eligible to apply for the Se-
lective Service test, the student
must (1) intend to request defer-
ment as a student, (2) be satisfac-
torily pursuing a full-time course
of instruction, and (3) not previous-
ly have taken it.
Colonel Schwartz pointed out
that it is not mandatory for local
boards to defer students even
though they make scores equal or
better than the criteria outlined in
Selective Service regulations.
At the same time, he said that
a total of 7,014 students are cur-
rently deferred by Texas draft
boards for scores on draft tests,
class standing, and' for other rea-
sons. Only 228 have the manda-
tory deferment required by law.
The deputy state draft director
urged students whose academic year
ends in January to take the No-
vember test so they will have a test
score on file at their boards before
the end of their academic year.
"At that time, their boards usu-
ally reopen and reconsider their
cases to determine whether they
should be deferred as students,"
Colonel Schwartz said.
More than 483,000 students have
taken the draft tests over the na-
tion.
