Liquor Parties Discussed
By BARRY MOORE
Thresher Student Senate
Columnist
In a meeting1 in Hanszen Col-
lege, the Student Senate Wednes-
day night reported the following
items:
Sammy's is temporarily closed
for Homecoming, due to neces-
sary preparations that must be
made; and the Grand Ballroom
will he available to students after
basketball games this year.
Party Regulations
Councilman-at-Large Mike
Bennett reported on regulations
for parties: Any group having
an off-campus party at which
(Continued from Page 9)
heard "The Rice Hymn."
"He told us that Rice could
use a song like this very much,"
Dr. Girard pointed out.
Arrangement Made
In the meantime, one of his pa-
tients, who was director of a
vocal group known as "The
King's Men" made an arrange-
ment of the song and recorded
it. The copyright was given the
Institute, and the song was of-
ficially presented at the Alumni
Dinner of the 1953 Homecoming.
As tactfully as we were able,
we hinted that new words might
give "The Rice Hymn" the boost
it needs to become a regular Rice
song. Was there a possibility that
the words could be revised, we
asked.
Needs New Words
"I'm 'way ahead of you," Dr.
Girard chuckled. "It definitely
needs nw words, and I think it
would be wonderful if the stu-
dents themselves would write
them!"

our campus to prevent juvenile
vandalism. We had not thought
them necessary for the S.M.U.
visit.
We trust that this body will
wish to meet its responsibilities
in the matter. We feel that the
restitution of $3.50 expense for
unpaid postage shall be adequate
monetary recompense on your
part.

Another Kremlin
To the Editor:
The so-called student govern-
ment here at Rice perfectly re-
flects the popular concept of
the government of the U.S.S.R.
Student leaders, shuttering
under the shadow of disciplinary
probation, become the very anti-
thesis of that for which they
were originally chosen. Once a
student has received an office,
the purpose of which is to en-
able him to help formulate the
policies that will govern his fel-
low students, he violates all
moral responsibility to his elec-
tors by becoming a mere rub-
ber stam of the administration.
Colleges Are Puppets
Therefore, Lovett Hall has
achieved a position comparable
to that of the Kremlin. The col'
lege governments are mere pup-
pets manipulated by Lovett Hall
at the expense of student intel-
lect and free thought.
The Russian proletariat, sup-
posedly deprived of freedom of
speech, press, and assembly,
nevertheless possesses a degree
of freedom far superior to any-
thing tolerated by Lovett Hall.
This is especially appalling in
a school considered one of the
strongholds of intellectualism in
America.
As long as subservience to
authority and conformity to opin-
ion are cultivated as virtues, not
even academic brilliance and
facility with figures will produce
the type of leaders necessary for
America to regain her former
position of world supremacy.
However, the student has no
alternative. The spectre of dis-
ciplinary probation, constantly at
his side, motivating his every
action, is ironically enforced with
the zeal of the Spanish Inquisi-
tion by his own fellow students.
Leaders Are Afraid
Fearful of losing the nominal
powers which they so fatuously
strive to maintain, the student
leaders enforce a policy even more
stringent than the one which
Lovett Hall would directly en-
force in order to convince the
administration that they are
worthy of these powers.
Ultimately, the maintenance of
this status quo of self-destructive
policies will produce a quality of
graduate that is a mere automa-
ton incapable of any process
approaching though.

there will be any liquor must
hire a policeman.
Also any off-campus party
must be chaperoned. A list of
chaperones and a statement to
the effect of whether or not a
policeman will be hired should
be handed in to Bennett in dupli
cate, on copy of which will be
forwarded to Dean Sims.
Bonfire Time Set
The bonfire time has been
finally and officially set at 6:45
o'clock Friday evening. Also, it
was announced that Homecoming
floats must be down by the fol-
lowing Monday morning.
In accordance with the upcom-
ing freshman election on De-
cember 7, petitions for those
class offices are due in by No-
vember 25.
Turn In Constitution
Dependent organizations are
reminded that there is a two
month limit for turning in re-
vised constitutions. These should
be turned in to Glenn Jarvis,
Parliamentarian, as soon as pos-
sible. This pretains to all de-
pendent organizations, including
honor fraternities and societies.
