will be reported to NSA to avoid
what Gary Thom referred to as
"irrelevant busywork." President
Bob Clarke suggested that the re-
port would have more importance
if Rice were one of the pilot
schools, but the majority ruled.

was also discussed at the meet-
ing. After deciding that such
polls are of value in informing
Senators of general attitudes, the
Senate examined the procedure of
conducting these polls.
For official sanction all polls
should be approved by the Sen-
ate, even if it is necessary to call
a special meeting, it was decided.
ANOTHER POLL on integra-
tion was suggested by Wendy
Stern to determine whether there
has been a change in student opin-
ion since last spring.

Sights—
And Sounds
By STEFAN OFFENBACH
This week looks to be great for
the music fans; football fans may
suffer. As balm for their wounds,
to take their minds off the sad-
ness of th© sports page, try en-
tertainment.
Continuing events; The Playhouse has
Marc Blitzstein's translation of "The
Threepenny Opera," a musical of the
characters in the Berlin underworld. The
Hamlet is continuing with "The Death
of Bessie Smith" and "One Finger
Exercises."
"Images from the Stone," an unusual
lithography exhibit, is at the Contempor-
ary Arts Museum.
Wednesday, October 24: the Alley
will open its production of Jean
Anouilh's "Becket." It won the Tony
Award from the New York Drama
Critics in 1960; it should be tremendous.
Thursday, October 25: the River
Oaks starts "No Place Like Homicide,"
another British farce. "Oscar Wilde,"
starring Robert Morley, will open at the
Rivoli.
Friday, October 26: the Contemporary
Arts Museum will present Jean Renoir's
"Rules of the Game," at 7:30 and 9:30
in the "Prudential Auditorium. It is a
love story, as are most French films
these days, telling of adultery in the
upper-class Parisians; it was banned in
France for a time. •
Saturday, October 27: Rice vs. Texas,
(you-know-where and when.) The Houston
Friends of Music will present the Vegh
Quartet, Cullen Auditorium at 8:15.
This string quartet is world-famous and
is an extremely well-balanced ensemble.
Edna Sanders will present the National
Ballet of Canada at the Music Hall at
8:15. Although not as finely honed as
the British Royal Ballet, this troup is
athletic and exuberant and puts on a
good show.
Monday and Tuesday: the Houston
Symphony will have Sidney Harth
starring in that epic production,
Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major.
To back him up, Barbirolli will have
Weber's Overture to "Der Freischutz"
and Nielsen's Symphony Number 5.

as to what to M next. An all-
campus referendum is scheduled
for next week on the issue. At
least four members of the Daily
staff have resigned, and it is not
certain that the paper will con-
tinue to operate. Newton had
earlier requested that the paper
be put under the control of the
Department of Journalism, but
the Publications Board refused
that request.
„ COLORADO STUDENTS were
reported to feel that Newton had
buckled under tremendous out-
side political pressure. The
Colorado Board of Regents is
elected by popular referendum
and the Daily incident quickly
became a political issue.
The issue was rapidly injected
into the statewide Congressional
campaign, and the university be-
came the object of considerable
demagoguery, with statements
and charges being issued from
both parties. Governor Steve Mc-
Nichols, Democrat, joined those
calling for Althans dismissal, as
did Democratic Senator John
Carroll. Both are seeking re-
election.
