AT THE STUDENT COUNCIL
By-Laws Passed To Limit
Campanile's Business Policies
By JIM BERNHARD
Editor
At Wednesday night's Council
meeting, the Campanile by-laws,
in substantially the same form as
submitted last week, were passed.
The major provision under the
/ ncredible
Disclosed
Talent Is
At Exhibit
By JIM BERNHARD
Editor
Once in a great while an artist
of ability emerges from the flock
of amateur painters as a real
creative talent.
Such an emergence has taken
place in the Student-Faculty Art
Exhibit, now on view on the sec-
ond floor of Fondren library.
Sophomore Robert S. Castroll,
in his pen-and-ink with color
pencil, "Swamp Monster vs. Blue
Rabbit," has perhaps reached the
heights to which the creative arts
at Rice can hope to aspire.
"iJrovocauve"
No better panegyric to "Swamp
Monster" can be given than the
commentary, by Professor Ed-
ward R. DeZurko, Doctor of Fine
Arts, which accompanies the
painting in the exhibit.
Dr. DeZurko says, in part, it is
". . . one of Castroll's most pro-
vocative creations. Few artists
htave succeeded in expressing,
with such economy of means, the
psychological tendon between the
dominant and passive principles,
the mild and the wild. Castroll
employs familiar graphic media
to delineate universal man's dual
attitude toward nature. . . "
Included in Exhibit
The exhibit includes sculpture
—both mobile and stationary,
paintings,—in all media, collage,
and photographs. Impressionism
and abstractionism are well-rep-
resented among the paintings.
Artists, both student and fac-
ulty, represented in this inter-
esting show, include David G.
Parsons, Jo Waddell, R. F. Lent,
Sherman Rogers, David James,
William F. Powell and Mrs. Pow-
ell, Phyrne Marquess, John
Young, day Wellborn, James
Chillman Jr., Robert Mattox,
Perttu Vintanen, Honor Blan-
chard, James L. Youngblood, C.
F. Craig Jr., John Lawwon,
Peggy O'Neill, James McCaslin,
Frank Van Orden, Bantram Me-
harg, George G. Williams, Mar-
vin Barrow, Edward R. DeZurko,
Lee Matt Smith, Michael Thomp-
son, Joseph Albert' Meschino, J.
D. Thomas, Charles Boardman
and Dick Claytor.
new by-laws is that Campanile
printing contracts will be award-
ed by a faculty-student commit-
tee, after the acceptance of bids.
Complete copies of the new by-
laws will be available in the S.A.
office.
ICC To Picnic
The Council passed a motion in-
viting the Inter-College Council
to attend the annual Student
Council party. Plans are still in-
complete, but the party is sched-
uled for Tennwood.
The Council, after paying a $50
ball for printing the faculty rat-
ing sheets, invited faculty opin-
ion on methods for improving
them.
A new by-law was passed, en-
abling the Student Association to
aid the Rice Forensic Society each
year, for an amount not to ex-
ceed $15 for travel expense for
each member of the Southwest
Conference Team.
Service Award
The Council confirmed eight
nominees to be submitted to a
faculty-student committee for
consideration for the Rice Ser-
vice Award. This award, given in
memory of the late Dean Hugh
Scott Cameron, is given to stu-
dents and former students who
have rendered outstanding ser-
vice to the Institute and the stu-
dent body.
The Council's eight nominees

vin Moore Sr., Gene Antill, Steve

New Polish - English
Lexicon Completed
By FRANK DENT
Casimir Bulas, acquisitions re-
search librarian of Fondren Li-
brary, one of the few men on the
Rice campus to have had personal
dealings wiith the Communists,
has just completed a Polish-Eng-
lish dictionary of twenty years
labor.
Mr. Bulas and lias wife lived in
Krakow, Poland, during and after-
World War II. Before the univer-
sity was closed in 1939, Mr. Bu-
las taught there.
After the war he joined the
staff of the Polish Academy of
Science, and in 1947 became head
librarian of the society's branch
in Rome.
Resisted Reds
In 1950 Mr. Bulas resisted th'>
Communist control of the Roman
(branch, but was forced out of
his job. He worked for the Inter-
national Library in Rome till
1951, when he came to America.
He accepted a position with
Rice in 1952.
Elver since World War II Mr.
Bulas has been eager to publish
his Polish-English and English-
Polish lexicon.
Work Began in 1940
"I knew English would be the
dominant language after the
war," he said.
Work actually was begun on
the dictionary in 1940. In 1952
Professor Whitfield of the Uni-
versity of California began to
help Mr. Bulas with the work. It
is now being proofread—all 2000
pages of it.
It is tbeing financed by the Kos-
ciusko Foundation and will be
printed in Holland. It is scheduled
to be released .in September, 1958.
Last One In 1850.
The last scholarly Polish dic-
tionary was published in 1850.
This new dictionary emphasizes
the connotation of words in ad-
dition to making the distinction
between "American" English, and
"British English." Each word m
translated as accurately as pos-
sible and when necessary its col-
loquial, archaic, literary or rhe-
torical connotation is given.
This milestone in scholarship
was twenty years in the making.
