ANNIS AT FORUM
Doctor Describes Medicare
As Fraudulent Vote-Getter
By PALMER BEARD
Medicare is nothing but a
fraud perpetrated upon the Amer-
ican people by demagogues whose
only aim is to get votes. This is
the substance of the conclusions
drawn by Dr. E. R. Annis, presi-
dent-elect of the American Med-
ical Association.
DR. ANNIS, who spoke before
a large crowd in Hamman Hall
last Thursday night, was pre-
sented by the Rice Forum Com-
mittee.
Not content with decrying half-
truths about Medicare, Dr. Annis
carried his arguments against an
implied liberal conspiracy into
broader fields, including tax
structure, aid to education, and
relations with Castro.
THE MIAMI doctor, who next
June will take office as president
of an organization not noted for
its love of federal welfare pro-
grams, (especially those involv-
ing medicine) presented as his
basic argument the fact that any-
one over sixty-five will be able
to benefit by the King-Anderson
Bill sponsored by the Kennedy
administration.
Though offering no definite al-
ternatives to the administration
proposals, he discussed the Flor-
ida plan for free care for the
medically indigent with which he
is intimately connected.
Citing statictics questioned la-
ter by his audience, Dr. Annis de-
picted the failures of the British
experiment in socialized medicine,

Colleges Re-examine
Room Assignments
By JIM HARGROVE
As more and more students at-
tend Rice, applying for more and
more rooms in the residential col-
leges, the problem of room as-
signments becomes more and
more acute.
IN ESSENCE this was the di-
lemma discussed last Saturday at
a meeting of the college masters.
The only apparent conflict in
regard to the assigning of rooms
appeared to revolve around the
use of subjective criteria in de-
ciding among applicants.
Last year in some of the col-
leges, there was an attempt to
allow a committee of seniors to
decide room assignments on the
basis of the individual's contribu-
tion to the college. Indication
from president Dave Tilson is
that Hanszen, at least, will con-
tinue this arrangement next year.
Dr. J. S. Fulton, Master of
Will Rice College, however1, is
opposed to this sort of selection.
While agreeing that under par-
ticular circumstances exceptions
could perhaps be made ,he empha-
sized that the selection should be
made more impersonally. For-in-
stance, this year all Houston
sophomores were required to live
off campus until vacancies oc-
curred, even though the risk was
incurred of losing some valuable
leadership.

got it!
"Tareyton's Dual Filter in duas partes divisa est!"
says Marcus (Ace) Severus, noted Roman natator. "After a plunge in the aqua, a Tareyton is the sine qua
non for enjoyment," says Ace. "Here's the flavor amo-de gustibiis you never thought you d get from any filter
cigarette." Keep a pack handy —tecum wherever you go.

"I am opposed," he said, "to
any group sitting more or less in
secret and passing judgment on
other members of the college.
That will divide the college. No-
body wants to live feeling that
every act( is being critically eyed
by some authority. Besides, I
doubt that anybody is wise
enough to pick people who will
not grow into valuable members
of the college."
For the moment, and until new
facilities are built to help con-
tain the problem, it appears that
the problem will remain in the
hands of the individual college
governments and masters.

true college spirit; orientation of
freshmen; and broadening the
interests of individuals. Solutions
to many of these problems have
been attempted. Yet, the above
flaws are still found, in varying
degrees, in all colleges.
3.) WHAT SHOULD BE the
relationship of the college to the
other colleges and to the Univer-
sity? The committee found that
each college should act indepen-
dently, yet within an area of
responsibility delineated by the
University, in accordance with
its goals.' There should be a feel-
ing of cooperation among the col-
leges.
However, this co-operation
should be tempered by a feeling
of competition, in such areas as
athletics. Co-operation should
occur in areas where all colleges
involved will benefit. Examples
are such ventures as the Inter-
College Courts, combined social
functions, and combined cultural
ventures.
4.) A FOURTH QUESTION
raised by the committee was that
of the relation of the Master and
other faculty associates to the
college. The group agreed that
this relationship should be a
more personal one with the
faculty serving as advisors more
than as administrators. The
particular abilities of each asso-
ciate should be utilized and in-
tegrated into the college pro-
gram. The Master should serve
as a channel of communication
between the college members and
the administration.
The positions of faculty asso-
ciate and Master should not be
considered as extracurricular
activity for these men. The pro-
cess of selection should consider
a man's personal abilities as well
as the demands made of his time.
The University should recognize
that the services which these men
render as associates can be fully
as valuable as services rendered
in an academic area.
The committee's investigation
led them to other considerations
hs well. Here, I have tried to
list only the major questions
which this group studied. The
colleges have made a great deal
of progress in only five years. If
this progress is| to continue, they
will have to establish definite
goals for thq future.
Once these goals are establish-
ed, the colleges must seek the
means for attaining them. The
future, development of the college
system at Rice will depend upon
t M S continued re-examination
and re-evaluation of college goals
by the members of each college.
