Forum Committee
Receives $2000
For Year's Budget
The Rice Forum Committee has
been granted a $2000 allowance
for the academic year 1962-63,
Dr. S. W. Higginbotham, Dean
of Students, announced Monday.
According to Dean Higgin-
botham's letter to Bob Clarke,
Student Association President
and past chairman of the Forum,
the Board of Trustees appropri-
ated the sum as a part of next
year's budget.
The Trustees' action followed
a request by the committee for
operating allowance. A similar
request, made last year, was
turned down because the 1961-
62 budget had already been pre-
pared.
THIS YEAR the Forum
operated on its usual $200 allow-
ance from the SA in addition to
special University grants for the
presentations of Dr. Fredrich
Hayek and Norman Thomas.
Clarke expressed his pleasure
at the appropriation. He said,
"This allowance will enable the
committee to secure programs of
top quality and more variation.
The Forum programs this year
were largely political in nature
since these speakers travel Widely
and are more easily obtained.
Next year the Forum will not
have to wait until speakers; hap-
pen through Houston in order to
invite them."
interested students, the Senate
chose Mike Jaffe to be chairman
of the Forum Committee. Mike
Groves was selected as Senate
Guidance Coordinator, and Pete
Freeman was chosen to head the
Student Committee on Educa-
tional Policy.
George Sawdy will head the im-
portant Elections Committee. The
Publications Board will be chaired
by S. A. Vice President Kenn
Carr, while Sears McGee was ap-
proved as parliamentarian.
A NEW COMMITTEE to com-
pile a booklet of faculty research
activities will be headed by Jean
Kitchel.
A By-Laws change was ap-
proved which allows the Stu-
dent Center Board, chaired by
Dale Friend, a maximum of fif-
teen members. Two new members,
Mark Bowden and Kathy Kindt,
were approved by the Senate.
Referred to the Student Center
Board was a resolution to allow
the colleges to decide whether
they want mail boxes for their
off-campus students to be placed
in the colleges or in the Basement
of the Student Center.
A SECOND By-Laws change
was made to alter the composition
of the Social Committee. The new
provision places the Councilman-
at-large from each college to-
gether with one Senate repre-
sentative on the committee.
In a final appointment, the
Senate chose Dr. Gaston Rim-
linger as its faculty advisor.
On May 2 Clarke presented to
the Senate a brief outline of the
events for the semi-centennial
celebration. Dr. Kenneth Pitzer
will be inaugurated as president
on October 10, the first day of
the three-day festivities during
which classes will be recessed.

have announced a new plan for
governing next year's sophomore
class.
A "sophomore representative"
system will be established. The

and carry decisions of the group
back to the colleges.
The representatives will be ap-
pointed after candidates have
been interviewed. All freshmen
are eligible to serve; those inter-
ested should file with their soph-
omore cabinet representative or
the class officers before Thurs-
day, May 10. Interview schedules
will be announced later.
The class officers will visit in

Wiess Wednesday night to meet
with members of the class and to
answer any questions concerning
the new system.
