Mixed Chorus
The Mixed Chorus of Rice In-
st tute, under the leadership of
Mr. Hall, has scheduled several
important appearances for the
remainder of the year.
During the week preceding the
Yuletide holidays, they will per-
form together with the Glee
Club in a program of Christmas
music. The exact date will be
announced at a later time.
In the spring, the Mixed Chor-
us will perform with the Hous-
ton Symphony under the direc-
tion of Leopold Stokowski, in a
work by Carl Orff, entitled "The
Triumph of Aphrodite". The
Houston Corral and the Univer-
sity of Houston Chorus will also
appear in this production.
Chorus rehearsals are at 7:00
every Monday evening in the
Faculty Chambers in Lovett
Hall.

Twerp Season
The Twerp Season, originally
scheduled for December 8, 9, and
10 by the sophomore and junior
class, has been indefinitely
posponed. For all those who are
familiar with the meaning of
Twerp Season, it's when the so-
cial order of boy-treats-girl is
vice-versa, and this time the
g-irls ask the boys out, pay for
the date, etc.
No reason for the postpone-
ment has been given, perhaps
Sadie Hawkins objected to it.

lounge on December 5 and 6, to
order Senior Rings. The Balfour

posit on all ring orders. Only

SOUTH HALL PUTS OUT FIRE
Flames shooting out of a waste
basket placed in front of a door
in South Hall created havoc in
the dormitory Tuesday night as
the flames spread quickly to the
door and part of the walls. Quick
action by residents quelled the
fire with the use of two fire
hoses, but it took the four fire
trucks (and a red car) which ar-
rived at the scene several hours
to clean up the 500 gallons of wa-
ter which were used in the epi-
sode. —photo by Lynn Barton.
Moraud —
(Continued from Page 1)
Moraud, head of the Department
of Romance languages, has spent
a great deal of time studying the
role that French settlers have
played in Texas history, and ear-
ly Franco-Texas relations. The
French government has made
available to him all the letters
and reports sent by the two
French ministers who represent-
ed France at Austin under the
Republic of Texas, and the in-
formation from them sheds new
light on the struggle for inde-
pendence.
Dr. Moraud, one of the most
distinguished members of the
faculty, plans to retire next year.
He has made valuable contribu-
tions to the field of comparative
literature, and his studies of
Franco—British literary rela-
tionships and the French Restora-
tion Period are pioneer works in
the field. During his career at
Rice Dr. Moraud has made sig-
nificent contributions to French
scholarship and has done much
to make the collection of volumes
on French culture and civiliza-
tion in Fondren Library one of
the most outstanding in the
South.

not include those leaving the
dorms for business north of the
campus, or anyone wanting to go
from one place on campus to an-
other, such as from the chem to
the gym.
Question of Validity
The poll itself raised questions
of its validity. It states that 3527
cars entered the campus and
then states that 4869 persons
came on the campus.
The breakdown shows 1342
more cars than were counted.
The poll shows this breakdown
of the 3527 cars by distribution
of driver's destinations naming
4622 destinations.
This total is 1095 more than
the number of cars!
One gets the impression that
the mistakes between the Chem.
Bldg. and the Physics Lot is the
result of mistakes in judgement
based on mistakes in fact.
of Paris and holder of a post-
graduate degree from the Uni-
versity of Edinburgh, Dr. Moraud
has taught at the University of
Minnesota and Princeton before
coming to Rice. He has lectured
by request in Canada, Oxford,
London, Madrid, Glasglow and
Brussels.
HI! JOIN ME FOR A LUCKY DROODLE?
WHAT'S
THIS?
For solution, see
paragraph below.
HERE'S A DROODLE THAT PACKS A PUNCH. It's titled*
Lucky smoke rings blown by prizefighter with tooth miss-
ing. It packs a moral, too: Why knock yourself out looking
for a better-tasting cigarette when all you have to do is
light up a Lucky? Luckies taste better, first, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is*
TOASTED to taste better. So light up a Lucky. It's the
winner —and still champion —for better taste!
