THE THRESHER
Three
'Jains': Everyone Likes Idea, Bat
No One Willing To Stick Neck Out
By DENIS ASHTON
Last Tuesday evening the fu-
ture of Janus, Rice's brilliant
literary rathole, was discussed in
a meeting of undergraduate li-
terati, representatives of two
literary societies — PALS and
CRLS — and members of the
Student Senate and the Forum
Committee. SA President Harry
Lynch presided.
At stake was Janus' publication
future, and granted an eventual
second issue, its character.
HIGH ON THE list of blocks
to publication was the ever-pres-
ent problem of finances. A Rice
literary magazine, it was pointed
out, is poor advertising to begin
with, and in addition is in com-
petition with other Rice publica-
tions for institutional advertis-
ing funds.
Second, the Student Senate,
after having lost close to one
thousand dollars on the first
issue is understandably reluctant
to back the second. Accordingly
the Senate is considering adopt-
ion of a resolution requiring
certification of future editions'
solvency before going to press
Nevertheless, financial support
on campus, particularly from the
literary societies, seems probable,
for although neither of the lit
representatives could make a de
finate commitment for their or-
ganizations, they both expressed
interest in making patron bids of
about fifty dollars.
BEST AS IT IS with difficul
ties, it is no wonder that Janus
not only lacks an editor and an
associate editor — essentially a
business manager,—but all pro
spects of finding them. Most of
the Janus staff from last year
is now unavailable for filling
these positions.
There was considerable discus-
sion of the first issue's subject
matter, for despite its critical
acclaim, some of those present
felt that it was nevertheless of
little interest to Rice undergrad-

The Olga Keith Literary So-
ciety announces that it will have
a formal ending December 11.
The lit had its beginning ten
years ago and will be well re-
membered for its annual Casino,
style shows, sock hops, and many
services to Rice.
The OK's desiring to continue
.work in another literary society
voted unanimously to seek mem-
bership in Chaille Rice. Jo Beth
Jaggers, president of the CRLS,
has extended to the OKLS an
invitation for membership.
At the time of their formal
ending, the activie members of
SCONA

serve as a roundup of the con-
ference.
The other speakers will cer-
tainly be no less distinguished
than those of the past, including
such men as Sir Leslie Munro,
the United Nations' special repre-
sentative to Hungary; Maj. Gen.
John B. Medaris, then chief of
the U. S. Army Missile Com-
mand; Dr. Howard Bowen, presi-
dent of Grinnell College and Wil-
liam H. Lawrence, White House
correspondent of the New York
Times. These men spoke to SCO-
NA V in December of 1959.

"Mathematics goes much faster
than the physical sciences which
are limited by material bounds,"
he proposes. He believes math-
maticians are very free people
whose thoughts are not limited by
external forces and picks the
U.S.S.R., France, and the U.S. to
be the leading nations in mathe-
matics today.

uates. Janus' publication rate and
promotional policies were also
discussed.
THE MEETING DID not at-
tempt a searching inquiry of the
problem of literary magazine
publication, acceptance, and sup-
port on the university campus
—Rice's particularly — and con-
cluded with the cheery note that
a large number of students would
like to see another issue of Janus,
but no one wants the job of
doing it. As one student put it,
"I'd feel like I was putting my
neck on the chopping-block."
The Forum will present a
symposium on campus literary
magazines toward the middle of
December.

John always did take things too
seriously . . . like that habit of locking
his Coke up in a safe! Sure everybody
likes Coca-Cola . . . sure there's
nothing more welcome than the good
taste of Coca-Cola. But really—
a safe just for Coke! Incidentally—
know the combination, anyone?
