Slime Parade It
Hanging h The Balmee
By MAUREEN O'LEARY
The Student Activities Com-
mittee is currently faced with
the problem of setting a date
for the Slime Parade and Greased
Pole Event. This Friday, Oct. 18,
was approved for the parade but
had to be cancelled because the
cheerleaders will have gone to
Dallas for the S.M.U. Game.
Suggestion Rejected
A suggestion to hold the pa-
rade on the night before the A.
& M. game was rejected; it is
thought that this would result
in an invasion of the downtown
pep rally by the Agies, a situa-
tion which would not prove es-
pecially healthy for any involved.
Hope of havin these two events
still is strong; the dates will be
announced as soon as approval
is received for them.
Last Remnants
Last Saturday saw the staging
of one of the last remnants of
the old-type Freshman Guidance.
Formally called a "contest be
tween the colleges" it was a tire
grab reminiscent of the days

the game in a booth set up on
the ramp of the stadium near the
student section, and may be ob-
tained by merely showing the
dance ticket.
iSo, girls, be sure your date to
the Homecoming dance has
bought his ticket by November 8.

FLASH — Texas University is
rioting! Austin has been put
under martial law—seems their
yearbook came out with gray
covers and owls on them. (The
printer-same as for our own
Campalately—must have confus-
ed the covers.)
Nevertheless we were over-
whelmed to finally clasp our own
Campanile in our grubby, sweaty,
and soon orangey little? hands.
The gold-dust twins must have
made plenty—64 pages of com-
mercials! in addition to the great
subsidy they must have gotten
from Brown and Root for all
those gorgeous color photos of
bricks, mortar, people laying
bricks, caterpillars, commons
bricks, dirt piles, uncommon
bricks.
BRICK-BRICK-BRICK
That's all they ever do!
After wading through cliches,
we reached the climax—President

In a big company, a young man
can get to tackle big fobs"
"The thing that has impressed me most in my two
years at General Electric," says 28-year-old Yusuf A.
Yoler, manager of Aerodynamics Laboratory Inves-
tigations, "is the challenging opportunity open to
you.ng people here. My field is guided-missile research
— the nation's top-priority defense job. Because of
the scope of the company's research and development
program, I've had the opportunity to work with tech-
nical experts in many related fields. And I've seen
at first hand the responsibility which General Electric
has given to younger men — proof to me that in a
big company a young man can get to tackle big jobs."

The research being done by Dr. Yusuf A. Yoler is
significant not only to himself, but to General Electric
and the security of the nation as well. At present, the
company is participating as a prime contractor on
three of the four long-range ballistic missiles pro-
gramed by the U. S. government. Yoler, who is play-
ing an important role in this work, directed the design
and development of the world's largest hypersonic
shock tunnel — a device which will "test-fly" missile
nose cones at speeds over 15,000 mph. '
Progress in research and development — as well as
in every other field of endeavor—depends on how well
young minds meet the challenge of self-development.
At General Electric there are more than 29,000 col-
lege graduates, each of whom is given the opportunity
to develop to his fullest abilities. In this way, we be-
lieve, everybody benefits — the individual, the com-
pany, and the country.

The main attraction of the

immediately began playing:
"Wonder where he went thia

We hope all the boys noted the
Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and
Senior (gone) courts. The organs
of the campus were next: In addi-
tion to the religious, n'on-religi-

intellectual, and orgy-type clubs
we were pleased to see the As-
sociation of Aspiring and Suc-
cessful Smiling Politicians (Stu-
dent Council, that is!). After
Rice's own version of the kanga-
roo court (i.e. Honor Council) and
Prudes Anonymous (i.e. Women's
Council) we got sick and just
looked for our own photos.
