The Council was in an electing
mood, and representatives to a Sam
Houston State Teachers College
Talent Show were selected by them.
The vivacious, exciting Marilyn
Webb barely edged out the almost
professionally-talented Norman Las-
ser. It is the hope of this writer
that both can represent Rice at the
show.
At this point the results of the
balloting were revealed by Clayton
Stone. There was a run-off for po-
sitions nine and ten, and the Coun-
cil, who had gone to all the trouble
to invite the Class Officers to par-
ticipate for a more representative
vote, had ultimately to decide the
ninth and tenth positions. Rice's
ten most beautiful (which disproves
the writer's previous supposition)
are, in alphabetical order, the fol-
lowing: Alice Cowan, Margaret

man; Judy Robey, Joan Ryba, Ann
Spears, and Marilyn Webb.
Louis Israel called for the floor
and read a motion which he will
move for adoption at the next
Council Meeting. It incorporates,
perhaps, the only constructive idea
to come out of the recent forum on
"Student Roles in the Administra-
tion of Rice." It advocates the for-
mation of a Student-Faculty Com-
mittee, similar to administrative
committees already in existence, to
investigate the courses and the
over-all education offered by the
Rice Institute.
Bill Manger requested that the
Council Members remain a few min-
utes after the meeting for a pic-
ture.
Finally the Council "advised"
that Bill Allen vote for A. and M.,
S. M. U., and T. C. U. in that order
for the sportsmanship trophy. No
votes were cast for Baylor, Ark-
ansas, and the University in Austin.
Bledsoe moved for adjournment,
and the last Council Meeting of the
year was over.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—(LP.) —
Activities varying from athletics to |
debating will be represented during ;
this year's Organizations Publicity
Drive at Temple University. The
new system, which was in an ex-
perimental stage last year, has
proved a success and will set the
pattern for future activities rush
weeks, according to Miss Elvira K.
Woerle, activities counselor.
This newly-inaugurated semi-an-
r.ual event consists of two periods
o£ activity. Orientation Day for
entering freshmen is followed by
the Publicity Drive, which is the
promotional period for extra-curri- •
eular groups. The drive's primary'
purpose is to. acquaint new stu-;
dgnts wit", the activities he*e. How-;
ever, Mjss Woerle encourages up-
perclassmen as well to seek candi-:
dacy into organizations. Participat-
ing in the Publicity Drive will be
more than 25 groups, including re-
ligious clubs, speech societies, po-
litical organizations, language
groups, fraternities and sororities,
and military clubs, all of which will
display posters ;;nd literature on
their respective tables.
The main problem encountered by
pievious unorganized rush weeks
was that .freshmen were frequently
lost to extracurricalsr groups be-
cause they had nc ciif.nce to become
acquainted with tl.es^ groups. Last
year the problem, recognized by the
Ot'fiee of Student Personnel, was
solved by compressing all rush ac-
tivities into one week of recruiting.
Miss Woerle, in citing other ad-
vantages' of this system, said, "The
organised rush week gives the
leaders within these organizations
personal rrntact with the students
who are joining the organizations.*
