■FROM THE COLLEGES-
Pfans Laid For Year's Activities
By CHARLES KIPPLE
As the fall term progresses,
college social activities are gain-
ing monentum at a pace match-
ed only by the academic load and
the Rice football team.
Freshman Week was the first
order of business for the colleges
this year, and this year's orienta-
tion gained city-wide recognition
in the Houston Post September
25. Much credit for the week's
success goes to the colleges'
mentor or adviser programs.
LAST WEEK, the first hur-
ricane-free week of school, the
freshmen were well on their way
to becoming full-fledged mem-
bers of the community, and the
colleges turned their attention to
parties and dances for all mem-
bers.
Sunday, September 17, the
Jones girls were guests of honor
as Hanszen held its first dance
of the year. The Rob Burchfield
Trio provided the music, includ-
ing folk songs, and Dr. and Mrs.
William Masterson met the
guests in Hanszen House.
During the same afternoon Dr.
and Mrs. LaVan Griffis held open
house for Baker men, who took
advantage of the badminton
court, swimming pools, and re-
freshments.
ELEANOR POWERS and
Lynda Harper talked about
France at Jones College's first
travel discussion on Tuesday,
September 19. This group will
meet every Tuesday night; com-
ing attractions include Mary Ann
Calkins on England and Ryn
Rhea's account of her summer
in Japan.
Jones also held its first tea
Thursday afternoon. A weekly
affair, this function will usually
honor a special guest.
The LSU weekend provided the
occasion for college victory
dances. Wiess invaded Ye Olde
College Inn's Varsity Room; 75
couples were entertained by the
Rob Burchfield Trio. Baker found
Del Webb's Hiway House almost
too small for the 105 couples
who attended.
Sunday, Baker wound up its
Freshman Week activities with
a belated Baker-Jones picnic at
the Houston Executive Club.
HANSZEN IS attempting to
raise the standard of its social
activities by selling season tickets
for the college's first semester
activities. Providing a substan-
tial saving over door prices, the
tickets tentatively include three
dances and two listening parties.
Wiess College is book-minded
WHO is at work on a satellite system for global telephone and TV transmission?
WHO provides the communications channels for America's missile defenses?
WHO is girdling the globe with communications for America's first man into space?
WHO tapped the sun for electric power by inventing the Solar Battery?
WHO used the moon for two-way conversations across the country?
WHO guided Tiros and Echo into accurate orbit?
WHO made your pocket radio possible by inventing the Transistor?
WHO maintains the world's largest, finest industrial research facilities?
WHO supplies the most and the best telephone service in the world?
WHO has the UNIVERSAL communications organization?
THERE'S ONLY ONE ANSWER TO ALL TEN QUESTIONS
SELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Pioneering in outer space to improve communications on earth
this year. Upperclassmen auction-
ed their texts at a Book Fair last
week, and the cabinet is accum-
ulating a college library through
donations and purchases.
Names and pictures of fresh-
man girls are available in handy
magazine form; the publication,
selling for 50c, was compiled by
a Jones college group.
ALL COLLEGES were busy
this week. Hanszen initiated work
on the gala "Black Face Min-
strel" to be presented Friday
evening before Homecoming.
Football practice—yes, football
practice—began for the Jones
girls with Joe Hamner trying to
get the juniors and seniors in
condition and Frank Jones and
Rick Lilliott working with the
freshmen and sophomores.
Wednesday night, the girls
held their Big Sister-Little Sister
Dinner to instruct the freshmen
in date-getting (the art of the
chase ( at Rice.
IN REGARD to coming events,
Wiess has announced an all-
school dance October 7 in the
Bluebonnet Room of the Sham-
rock-Hilton Hotel. The Bayou
Six Plus One will provide the
music for the "Roaring Twenties"
affair. Tickets are $3.50 per
couple; the dance will roar from
9:00 until 1:00. A Charleston
contest will climax what pro-
mises to be a real swingin'
affair.
