FRIDAY. APRIL 6, 1962
THE THRESHER
Three
Keilin, Price Defeated By
Hardin - Simons Debaters
By DEBBY ROMOTSKY
Rice debaters Eugene Keilin
and Eddie Price received a mel-
odic welcome back to television
Sunday in the quarter-final round
of the state-wide intercollegiate
tournament, "Young America
Speaks."
Due to technical difficulties,
the audio portion of the program
was replaced by music for the
first few minutes.
SINCE THE introductory re-
marks were obscured, it was
rather difficult for the viewer to
ascertain what was actually be-
ing discussed, or even who the
debaters were. Eventually, it be-
came obvious that Rice was
matching its skill against that
of Abilene's Hardin - Simmons
University.
Casey's Opponent
Claude E. Hooton
Here Wednesday
Claude E. Hooton, Jr., candi-
date for the United States Con-
gress frorn the Twenty-Second
District of Texas in the coming
Democratic Primary, will be pre-
sented in Baker Commons, Wed-
nesday, April 11, at 6:45 p.m.
Mr. Hooton, who is opposing
incumbent Bob Casey, will lecture
briefly on the problems of the
Common^ Market as observed and
analyzed on his recent tour of
Europe, and its possible effects
on this country's economy.
AN INFORMAL discussion will
follow the lecture with oppor-
tunity for questions on all topics
of interest.
Mr. Hooton is running for
Democratic Representative to
Congress on a platform of "full
participation in free trade." In
addition to his European trip,
he has spent six weeks in nine
Latin American countries to gain
first-hand information on prob-
lems which can and will affect
the progress and economy of this
area.
Mr. Hooton holds degrees
from Harvard University and the
South Texas College of Law. He
is vice-president of the Commer-
cial Realty Co., a member of the
board of Sharpstown State Bank,
and is in partnership with his
father in an architectural firm
having offices in Houston, New
Orleans, and Mexico City.
The topic remained nebulous
throughout the program, but ob-
viously had something to do with
the Connally amendment reserv-
ing a self-judging clause for the
United States in its conduct in
the International Court.
DESPITE THE elevating in-
fluences of the opening segment,
the Rice debaters, who were ac-
tually debating for the affirma-
tive on the topic: "Resolved that
the United States should with-
draw the Connally Reservation
from its adherence to the Inter-
national Court of Justice," lost
to Hardin-Simmons, 129-122.
The winner received a $1000
scholarship award sponsored by
the Sinclair Refining Company;
Keilin and Price carried home a
$500 award.

ernor, "I'm in no position to
answer that question."
On the subject of censorship
of textbooks, Mr. Lieblich for-
got to mention that Connally
first stated, "I don't know what
you are talking about."
AFTER HAVING been given
two explanations, he finally
answered, "There has to be
some control of textbooks be-
cause they are selected*'-' That
answer must have taxed his
imaginative powers to the lim-
it!
It' is certainly obvious that
the Democratic Party of Texas
has come up with another jewel
to accompany Major General
Walker on the ballot. I have
yet to hear Wilson, Yarbor-
ough, or Form by; but after
hearing the first two Demo-
cratic candidates, I am glad I
do not live in Alabama where
there are nine such candidates,
instead of six.
The only recourse for Demo-
crats seems to be to vote for
a fourth term for Price Daniel,
or else, in that typical liberal
vein, don't vote at all and let
the Republicans have another
major office.

SENATE REPORT-
New Regime In Power April 11;
Board Recommends Parking Lot
The Senate unanimously and
joyously decided to hold their last
meeting on April 11 and to con-
vene the new Senate at that time.
All committees will complete
their business for this4 year at
that meeting, including the Stu-
dent Discipline Committee which
will make a final report and
recommendation to the new Sen-
ate.
The major portion of the meet-
ing involved discussion of the pro-
posal made at the last meeting
to hold a second referendum to
reorganize classes.
MARTIN EXPRESSED doubt
as to the efficacy of the reorgan-
ization plan that had been sub-
mitted on December 18, 1961, and
the motion to hold a similar ref-
erendum was recalled and re-
scinded.
Specific proposals on class re-
organization from this year's
Senate may be recommended to
the new Senate at next week's
meeting.
A recommendation was passed
that next year's Senate hold a
referendum to change the consti-
tution to allow the S. A. Execu-
tive officers to be juniors, seniors,
or Class B graduates.
GEORGE MARTINEZ reported
that the request for a $6 com-
prehensive fee increase had been
approved by President Pitzer with
the provision that it be spent on
sound programs of interest to
all members of the college.
A minimum should be used for
strictly social affairs since par-
ties should be planned to pay for
themselves..
College "budgets for the use of
the additional funds must be ap-
proved. by the Master and the
increase will be continued if it
is spent wisely next year.
PHIL TUTTLE, Business Man-
ager of the Campanile, reported
that the Campanile financial sit-
uation is not as grim as was in-
dicated at the last meeting. A I Finally, the Senate passed, and
new burst of enthusiastic adver- will forward to the Dean's of-
tising sales should put the year- fice, a recommendation from the
book on more solid ground. | (Continued on Page 6)
