THE THRESHER
Three
Society
By BARBARA VEYON and ALICE COWAN
The game this past week was spiced somewhat by Various con-
flicts, including a vicious attack upon our mascot. Aside from a few
battle scars, he has completely recovered.
Game Activities: Pre; The Town and Country Apartments (the
dorm's newest annex) was the scene of a spirited pep rally. Heard
cheering very spiritedly were Filson Palmer, Richard Sawyer, and
Bob Muckelroy . . . Post: The Club Ebony Combo was the high-
light of the Junior Sock H°P> Dancing in all manner of outlandish
socks were Leo Holder, Dixie Sick. Vic Koehler, Hel Taunt, Puddin
Domaschak, and Sharon Jones.
RICE IN BERMUDA SHORTS: Luann Rice's father became a
knight with shining baseball bat and swiftly repulsed a lurkinge Pep-
pinge Thomas. Bill Cordon and Bill Musgrove advise anyone inter-
•ested in finding the wheels in far-away places to hob-nab with the am-
bassadors in London.
Everyone's Talking About: A certain physics major (initials R. F.)
who is interested in liberal arts! Naughty, Naughty . . . Rice's own
Barefoot Contessas,.Bob Murray and Terry Loveks (really boys, we
didn't get mad) . . . That lovely little eating spot so convenient to the
campus where the "gang" all gather—quaintly called the "commons."
Last year, it was a regular riot. Drop in some lime; you never know
whaL will happen.
A word: to "puzzled." No, no, dear, never use finger bowls to serve
beer. Deimtasse cups are so much more refined.
Thai's all for this week.
Straight from der Old Country: Jimmy Watt's backyard, converted
into a beer-garden straight from Duetschland (if you disregarded the
badminton net), was the scene of a mad, mad membership drive for
Der Eulenspeigel.
Members and fugitives from Les H$>oux were Jackie Hart, Dr.
Lewis, Mr. Wilson, Carol Ford, John Cougl, Janie Spears, and Herb
Simons.
Pardonez Nous: We have been duly notified that certain persons of
MERIT! were omitted from last week's column. The Town and
Country Apartment function which we announced as hosted by Bob
Ribbeck, was also given iby hk cohorts, the remaining members, of the
Fair-haired Five," Jay Elston, Hank Coors, Tom Lawhon, and
George Crimes.
Players Name Casts
For Two One-Acts
Tuesday evening tryouts were
held for the first Rice Player's

a successful year to the Players.

Brecht is directed by Sandy

Fine Arts
"INNOCENTS" OFFERED
AT CULLEN AUDITORIUM
"The Innocents," William Ar-
chibald's tense dramatization of
Henry James' famed short story
"The Turn of the Screw," will
open a three-night run on the
stage of the University of Hous-
ton's Cullen Auditorium Wed-
nesday at 8:15 PM.
The Archibald play, like the
celebrated literary thriller upon
which it is based, has as its cen-
tral figure a young English gov-
erness who arrives at a glooiriy
Essex country house in 1880 to
take in charge two precocious
and highly imaginative orphans.
An uncle, their only remaining
relative, has been content to
leave them in the hands of two
servants of questionable charac-
ter. Now the servants are dead
... or that, at least, is the con-
sensus of opinion. The newly ar-
rived governess finds that there
is room for doubt.
The children have been hav-
ing some strange visitors. Un-"
der the spell of the tomb-like
mansion and a mounting num-
ber of apparently inexplicable
incidents, the governess herself
begins to feel the enveloping
aura of evil—and to encounter
some otherworldly apparitions of
her own.
Carolyn Vernon, a senior dra-
ma student, will be -seen in the
role of the courageous young
Englishwoman. Betty Nell John-
son, senior radio-TV major, will
have the role of Mrs. Grose, the
housekeeper, whose flights of
fancy do nothing to alleviate the
drama's rising tension.
The children will be played by
11-year-old Doris Hargrave and
Marc Flatow, 13. Both have pre-
vious stage experience, Miss
Hargrave in "Heidi" and "Tom
Sawyer" and Mr. Flatow in "Pe-
ter Pan" and "King Midas."
"The Innocents" has been di-
rected by Joseph M. Coffer of
the department of drama staff.
Frank G. Bock has served as
technical director. Tickets will be
available at the Cullen Auditor-
ium boxoffice.
O
Card Section Is Good for
Something
In the face of many opinions,
both pro and con, the Rice Flash
Card Section ably proved its
worth last Saturday at the LSU
game. In addition to giving a
fine show, before the riot, the
card section had a gray patch
ready to give Sammy first aid
when he was nearly mortally
wounded in the heart. So we
say, "Support your card sec-
tion! In an emergency it's an
asset!" ■•«$? ]
Three out of four traffic acci-
dnts happen in clear weather on

And the issue looks great...
Why not celebrate! Have a CAMEL!

It's a psychological fact: Pleasure helps
your disposition. If you're a smoker; re-

pleasure from Camels than from any
other cigarette!
No other cigarette is so
rich-tasting, yet so mild!
