THE THRESHER
Three
Cannibals Seen
On Campus
Unconfirmed reports of head-
hunters and cannibals chasing
poor defenseless Jones girls
through several commons last
night have been verified; Jungle
Rumble No. 2 is here.
The brainchild of last year's
sophomores, J. R. will remake
the scene tomorrow night at nine
at the Hawaiian Village, under
the sponsorship of the classes of
'63 and '64. Highlights of the
Rumble, an all-school party, will
be the music of Gordon Grubbs
and, oh yes, the free beer. Tickets
are still available at $1.50 per
person.
Deadline for the purchase of
OWLS directories will be Sat-
urday, September 30, at 12
noon. This date is also the

and phone numbers.

FEBRUARY COMPLETION POSSIBLE
Rayzor Hall Roof Razed
By CHARLES PATTERSON
Falling bricks, impassable side-
walks, and assorted study-shat-
ering sounds herald the current
construction of Rice's new hu-
manities building, Rayzor Hall.
How long will the confusion
last? According to Dr. W« H.
Masterson, Dean of Humanities,
completion of the building is now
scheduled for the last of Feb-
ruary 1962, and possibly later.
Completion was originally slated
for mid-January 1962.
ONE CAUSE of the new date
is the delay in the arrival of
the marble to be used in the
cloister which is being extended
from the existing Anderson Hall-
Fondren Library cloister to the
west end of Rayzor Hall.
The cause of all the racket on
the new building roof last week
was due to the removal of a lay-
er of concrete put on earlier this
year to serve as insulation and
as a base for the red tile which
will be the final covering. An
improper consistency of the con-
crete necessitated its removal be-
cause it would not hold the tiles.
It is being replaced by a new
layer of the proper consistency.
It has not yet been decided
which of the humanities depart-
ments will occupy the building,
except for the Psychology, An-
thropology and Sociology, and
Commerce departments, all of
which will be housed on the third
floor.
w
THE SECOND floor of the
building will include office space
for the faculty as well as a fac-
ulty lounge, while the first floor
will contain five classrooms and
two language laboratories.
The newest addition to the
quadrangle will cost slightly in
excess of one million dollars,
exclusive of furnishings. Con-
struction of the building was
made- possible through a large
gift from Mr. and Mrs. J. New-
ton Rayzor. Mr. Rayzor is a
trustee of the Board of Govern-
ors and an alumnus of Rice.
Architects are Staub, Rather,
& Howze, the same firm which
designed Anderson Hall. The
Style of the building is designed
to blend with the general Medi-
terranean architecture of the I Fisher Construction Company of
campus. Construction is by the Houston.

day on which%.the regional chair-
man of this district will accept
nominations for prospective re-
cipients of Woodrow Wilson Na-

college seniors and graduates

and who believe that a career
in college teaching is at least
a possibility for them.
THESE FELLOWSHIPS are
