Tentative Schedules«Are Set Up
For Year's Rice Honoree Visits
A tentative schedule has been
set up for Rice's Honorees and
will be made definite as the in-
vitations are received from the
respective schools by the S.A.
Office.
Head Honoree, Margie Moore,
has already represented Rice at
the Berkeley Football Festival in
Berkeley, California. Charlotte
Reeves, who was sent as Honoree
to the Cotton Bowl last Year,
will probably go to Texas Round-
up this year, and Jane Arnot
will be Honoree at the 1960 Cot-
ton Bowl.
Mary Lacey will represent
Rice at S.M.U. Manada and Wan-
da Phears will do the same at
Baylor May Day. Judy Cole will
go to Texas Tech Spring Festiv-
al and Joy Kenter will represent
Rice at either the T.W.U. Red-
bud Festival or Pan American
College. Ann Schudy will be at
A. & M.'s Cotton Ball.
These Honorees were chosen by
an all-school vote last spring, and
have picked their respective
schools in order of their election.
Ellen Cartwright, who was also
elected, has forfeited her position
because of her approaching mar-
riage.

My Gun Is Quick
By RALPH WEAVER
and MIKE GEIS
Thresher Columnists
I threw my hat on the office
bed. My mouth felt like it was
full of sand. It was. I had just
come from a beach rumble.
I buzzed my secretary, Brig-
itte. She slithered in, wiggling
her typing fingers provacatively.
I muttered an obscene phase, in
French. She said, "I've got a
case." I said, "You're fired."
"Cut it," she said, "let's go to
Louie's and drink beer." I re-
membered the sand. "Crazy," 1
said.
Spilled Beer
The waiter spilled my beer
when he poured it. I got him with
a rabbit punch while he was
still bending over. Nobody spills
my beer. Nobody!
"You shouldn't have done
that," Brigitte said. I sared at
her. "Your shoelace is untied,"
I said. She looked down. I caught
her across the teeth with a good
right hand. She slid under the
table. I drank her beer too.
"What's the case?" I said. She
spit blood for a minute and said,
At last! A breakfast drink
you can keep in your room
More vitamin C than orange juice. New instant TANG is the breakfast
drink you can keep right on your bookshelf—because TANG keeps any-
where without refrigeration.
Make as much as you want, whenever you want. Just mix with plain cold
water—nothing to squeeze, nothing to unfreeze.
Drink TANG every morning and get more vitamin C than orange or
grapefruit juice gives you. Plus vitamin A. Tastes real good, too.
Today's assignment: get TANG!
NEW! INSTANT!
Just mix with cold water

THAT'S OK!
BUT MAKE MINE

"The Rice Institute." I choked
on my beer. "Why, that's the
most representative . . I grab-
bed my gun. "Bye Baby," I said.
She looked at me. Blood gurgled
in her throat. What a woman.
I went by the bartender. "What
do you know about the Rice
Institute?" He hesitated. I shot
him. Tough. Real tough.
I walked down lower Main. I
saw the blinking, red, neon sign.
"The Institute, Tuition free." The
"Rice" was blacked out. I knew
there was action.
The flop was one flight up. I
went in the back door. It was
the only door. It was just like
I thought, dirty. I asked the desk
clerk, "Where are they?" He
said, "Gone." "Why?" "Because."
I shot him. I don't like hip talk.
Not By Invitation
I finally found them. They had
been young once, maybe even
pretty. They tried to communi-
cate but somebody pulled their
chains. Not a pleasant sight.
I walked to the door. I saw
some proud, smiling, men. They
said,, "They're not here by in-
vitation, you know." I tried to
kick their smiles. No go. They
were phony. I left.
I threw my hat on the office
bed. My mouth felt like it was
full of sand. They throw a lot
of sand at the Institute.
WANTED: Situations and gag lines for our two campus characters
(above). Must relate to TANG. Will pay $25 for every entry used.
Address: TANG College Contest, Dept. GRM, Post Division, Battle
Creek, Michigan. (Entries must be postmarked before Dec. 15,1959.)
No More
Blue Dresses
The Clemson game will be the
last time freshmen girls will be
seen as a segregated mass of
blue. At last they can don those
new fall outfits and infiltrate
the upper isles of the student
section.
Shaun Allen is planning her
game wardrobe along with the
rest of the freshmen girls. Here
she tries on a 2-piece co-ordinat-
ed set by Susan Thomas, consist-
ing of a tweed skirt, jersey
blouse and bulky knit sweater.
The price is $39.95, at Leon Daily
in the Village.
