logical equipment. Lab areas will
be flexible so they can be changed
as future research demands.
According to President William
V. Houston, Dr. Croneis and other
faculty members will work out ten-
tative plans which will then be sub-
mitted to an architect selected by
the. Board of Governors .who will
draw up plans for the building.
It is hoped that construction can
be begun in the summer of 1955
in order to complete the building
by September 1956. The Geology
on the third floor of the Chemistry
Department now occupies a suite
Building.
Among the sites which may be
considered for the building are
west of Anderson Hall, west of the
Chemistry Building, and on the
academic quadrangle opposite An-
derson Hall. One school official was
reportedly considering placing the
building where the roadblock is now
located.
Rice's first geology major will
graduate this June, and a full class
will follow him in June, 1956. Dr.
Croneis stated that applications for
graduate work have already been
received from students at other
schools, and a graduate program
will probably begin in the fall of
1955.
A geophysicist will probably be
added to the department next fall.
One of the research projects to
be undertaken by the geology de-
partment will be a study of the
geochemistry of Thorium to be con-
ducted by Drs. John A. S.. Adams
and John J. W. Rogers. The de-
partment has received a Robert A.
Welch Foundation Grant of $26,000
a year for three years for this pro-
ject.

Next Production
To Be'Earth Spirit'
By Mark Morris
At an open reading last night the
Rice Players announced their next
production. It is to be Frank Wede-
kind's Earth Spirit, a four act
play. The production is planned fox4
the middle of March. It will be
staged in the Exam Room of the
Library, where the Players pre-
sented Shadow of the Glen so suc-
cessfully last year during the Ex-
position.
The director is to be Mark Morris
who in the past has directed Venus
and Adonis and The Long Good-
bye for the Players, as well as an
original one-act, Blue Shadows, for
Players Anonymous last summer.
Assistant to the director is Ernest
Shawver. Co-ordinators for this pro-
duction are Sandy Havens and Bob
Fri. Fred Lux is in charge of the
sets. The advisor is J a m e & D.
Young.
Sandy Havens has a role in the
Alley /Theatre's production My
Three Angels, which opened last
night. Starring in the play are Al-
bertbert Dekker (remembered as
last year's "dead salesman"), Jim-
my Jeter, and Barbara Elliot.
The play tells of the radical ef-
fects three .convicts have on the
home life of a French Guianese
family oi* which they move in. But
Mr. Havens' part doesn't have much
to do with this part of the play.
His part comes at the end of the
last act, so it might spoil it for
you if we said what he did, except
that it is rumored that he does fall
asleep on the stage.
Sandy is a junior English major.
He has been active with the Rice
Players almost from the group's
beginning. He is now one of their
co-ordinators. As well as appearing
in almost all of their productions,
Mr. Havens has directed two of
their plays: Bedtime Story and The
Tenor.

vides real savings to the hard-

parable: shirts, 17c; pants cleaned,

In regard to TIME, the services
offered is as convenient as pos-
sible. Simply tie your bundle with
the inimitable cashmere yarn avail-
able free at the laundry office in

ing the prescribed time to slip into
oblivion, trip lightly over to the
laundry office and pick up your
fresh, crisp laundry.

Always something new
* *
"Different types of work appeal to
different men," says Donald O'Brian
(A.B., Indiana, '50), in the Traffic
Department with Indiana Bell Tele-
phone Company. "For me, I'll take
a job that keeps me hopping. And
that's just the kind of job I have.
"You'd think that after two years
I'd have all the variables pinned down.
But it doesn't work that way. When
you supervise telephone service for
thousands of different customers whose
needs are always changing, there's
always something new coming up.
"I started with Indiana Bell in 1952,
after two years in the Army. My train-
ing program exposed me to many dif-
ferent kinds of telephone work—cus-
tomer contact, personnel, accounting,
operations. I saw a lot of job*? which
looked as interesting as mine. As
much as I like the kind of work I'm
doing now, I bet I'll like my next spot
even better."
Don's enthusiasm for his job is pretty typical of how
most young college men feel about their telephone
careers. Perhaps you'd be interested in a similar oppor-
tunity with a Bell Telephone operating company, such
as Indiana Bell... or with Bell Telephone Laboratories,
Western Electric or Sandia Corporation. See your Place-
ment Officer for more information.
