THE THRESHER
Thru
Named Janus
Magazine Due In January
Janus, a literary magazine,
was officially set up as a Rice
publication at the Student Senate
meeting Wednesday night. This
magazine, carrying on in mag-
azine form the tradition estab-
lished by previous years' splendid
Mill, will be a regular publica-
tion, with the frequency of is-
sues depending on student re-
sponse.
Balanced Fare
Janus will seek to present a
balanced fare of fiction, poetry,
satire, and features on aspects
of Rice that cannot be adequately
covered in a weekly newspaper.
This outlet for literary talent
on the campus will feature an
article on the architecture de-
partment in its first issue, to be
published in the middle of Jan-
uary.
The magazine will be sold at
the rate of 25 cents per issue, or
$1 for a year's subscription. The
staff at present includes Joel
Hochman, editor; Claire Plun-
guian, associate editor; Honor
Blanchard, William Corrington,
Roy Roussel, Pat Jones, Bob War-
ren, Trudy Haarman, Barry
Moore, Karren Cowdin, and Steve
Gosnell.
People desiring to submit ma-
terial before the deadline of Mon-
day, January 11, or who would
like to help on the staff can call
Joel Hochman at MA 3-7595 for
further information.

perb highway out of Soviet
money and engineering. They
have talked the United States
into linking that Russian-built
highway with another American'
road runningal ong the south-
western border.
Iran and the Shah
Eisenhower visited Teheran on
December 14th. The Shah of Iran
had been under pressure to reject
a defense treaty with the United
States. He signed the treaty any-
way. But Moscow is offering now
to develop the oil fields in north-
ern Iran on terms far less de-
manding than those held by the
Western combination producing
oil in Iran.
Russia has, then, made strong
attempts to minimize the Eisen-
hower tour. The large crowds and
warm welcomes may mollify the
"Ugly American" image in this

dent has stated the purpose of
this trip as a goodwill tour,
assuring Americans and the
world that nothing will be asked
or promised.
Conditions Remain
But Eisenhower will be enter-
ing nations where people are
starving, nations bordering on a
terrible military power. These
conditions will prevail after the
President has left and when the
"Welcome Ike" banners have
been torn down.

"YOU OUGHTA BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF,
NAUGHTY BOY!"
This cartoon appeared in The Daily Texan, Wednesday,
December 9.

that the situation could not be
rectified.
"The university has a contract
with all schools by which it pro-
vides two sections between the
20 and 40 yard lines with 988
seats to the section, or 1976 tick-
ets in all," continued the Texan.
The fact that the 1700 man Rice
student body sent only about
1000 fans to Austin and could
have been accomodated in one of
the two sections was cited as the
Texas defense.
The charge that other schools
might be inconvenienced was not
answered.
'No Apology Received'
Another of The Thresher's com-
plaints, that the Longhorn band
drowned out "the Rice band and
cheering section following Rice's
touchdown, our only moment of
glory," was graciously answered
by a letter of apology to the
Rice band from Vincent R. Di-
Nino, director of the Texas band.
Mr. Holmes McNeely, director
of the Rice band told The Thresh-
er "No letter of apology has yet
been received."
In an attempto "To remove
some of the mud thrown at U.
T.'s conduct during the Rice
game" and to explain the con-
tinued screaming of the Texas
student section while the Rice
quarterback called for quiet The
Texan quoted co-headcheerlead-
er Avis Tieber who said, "We
tried to control the students when
quiet was needed, but they were
over-excited. . ." Later The Texan
said, "No athletic contest is
worth losing one's personal and
school dignity over."
Nebulous Yet Definable
The issue of the S.W.C. Sports-
manship Trophy seemed to in-
cense The Texan to great and du-
bious heights. In an editorial en-
titled "Who's A Good Sport?"
the Texan asserted that the mean-
ing of the term sportsmanship
was "nebulous" and then cleverly
proceeded to effectively define it
in the next paragraph.
The gist of their argument
seemed to be that sportsmanship,
like honor, was just a word. Thus
the practice of awarding the tro-
phy to the most deserving school
had been rightfully abolished as
it was essentially a nothingness,
The Texan concluded.
