THE THRESHER
Eleven
University Is Source
Of Fifteen Publications
By BOB EASTON
The Rice campus has been dis-
covered to be a publishing center.
On investigation one can find as
many as fifteen separate publica-
tions which are written, edited,
or published on campus.
Setting the Thresher and the
Campanile into separate classifi-
cations, these various publica-
tions can be divided into two
general categories; scholarly and
informative.
IN THE SCHOLARLY cate-
gory fall such journals as the
Journal of Southern History ed-
ited by Dr. Philip Detweiler in the
Fondren Library. This journal
was founded by the Southern His-
torical Society in 1935, and in
February, 1959 its editorial of-
fice was moved to the Rice Cam-
pus.
The Journal itself is composed
of articles and reports submit-
ted by historians from all over
the United States, articles, of
course, dealing with Southern
history. Dr. Detweiler and his
editorial board, which includes
such noted historians as T. Harry
Williams, who spoke on campus
last year, choose the best articles
for publication. The Journal ap-
pears quarterly.
Houston Symphony
And Wagner Mark
Two Anniversaries
By ROBERT ZELENKA
This year marks the 50th anni-
versary of the Houston Sym-
phony. Sixteen pairs of concerts
will be presented this season, of
which twelve will be conducted by
Sir John Barbirolli. Guest con-
ductors will include Carlos Cha-
vez, Georges Tzipine, Frederick
Fennel 1 and Charles Munch.
The first pair of concerts of
the season will be on October 21
and 22. Music by Elgar, Ravel,
and Richard Strauss will be play-
ed, with' Beethoven's Seventh
Symphony concluding the even-
ing. Tickets for the opening con-
certs will not go on sale before
October 19, although season tick-
ets may be purchased now.
SEASON TICKETS for fully
accredited students range from
$7.50 to $22.50, half the normal'
price. Tickets may be purchased
at Rice from the following
people: Jim Crawford and Mike
McGoodwin, 130 Hanszen Col-
lege, J A 4-6623, and Fat Mac-
Namara, 420 Jones South. Choice
seats will be awarded on a first-
come, first-served basis.
Among the many high quality
works to be featured in the com-
ing season are: Symphony No. 5
and the Concerto for Cello by
Shostakovitch, Symphony No. 3
and 4, and the First Piano Con-
certo by Brahms, Bach's Third
Brandenburg Concerto and the
Third Piano Concerto by Bee-
thoven.
SOLOISTS WILL include Hen-
ryk Szeryng (violin), Leonard
Rose (cello), and Rudolf Serkin
(piano). As a matter of special
interest, the fifth pair of con-
certs, on November 18 and 19, will
feature exclusively the music of
Richard Wagner, commemorating
the 150th anniversary of the com-
poser's birth.
ANOTHER SIMILAR journal
is "Studies in English Litera-
ture," edited by Dr. Camden with
the assistance of Marian Carter
and Mitzi Myers. "Studies" has
one issue each year in four fields,
the English Renaissance, Eliza-
bethan Drama, Restoration and
Eighteenth Century English lit-
erature, and Nineteenth Century
English literature.
Critical essays in these fields
are submitted to Dr. Camden and
his editorial board, which is com-
posed of experts in each field in
the United States and England.
About one-third of those sub-
mitted are ever published.
A third journal, similar to the
above two, is the Journal of Aus-
trian History, edited by Dr. Rath,
the new head of the History De-
partment.
RICE UNIVERSITY Studies,
formerly the "Rice Pamphlet", is
a quarterly journal publishing
scholarly and scientific writings
in all fields. It is mainly com-
posed of lectures and writings by
Rice professors or presented on
the Rice campus. The journal is
sponsored by the University un-
der the editorship of Dr. Norbeck
of the Anthropology Department.
An index of all past issues of
the Pamphlet published this year
is available from the same com-
mittee.
The "Rice Engineer" is a semi-
cholarly magazine publisheds
monthly by engineering students.
It includes articles of interest to
upperclass S. E.'s, games, puz-
zles, and cartoons.
Finally in the scholarly cate-
gory is "Janus," a student-pub-
lished literary magazine, former-
ly published at irregular inter-
vals and composed of student con-
tributions. This year it will be
edited by Doug Harlan on funds
granted by the Administration.
There are also the various in-
formal, ice publications on campus.
The Development Office has
three publications under this
heading. The "Weekly Calendar
of Events," distributed through
the Registrar's Office, is merely
a weekly schedule of upcoming
events on the Rice campus. The
"Research Directory" is a bian-
nual index of the various re-
search projects on campus.
"THE RICE REPORT" is a
quarterly newsletter sent by the
Development Office to alumni
and parents of Rice students to
keep them abreast of important
happenings on campus."
Alumni news is handled by
Mrs. Menefee in the Alumni Of-
fice. Since December, 1962, she
has almost • single-handedly put
out the quarterly "Rice Alumni
Magazine," and in months when
the magazine does not appear she
edits the "Sallyport," the alumni
newspaper.
"THE SEXTANT" is the Navy
ROTC newspaper edited by John
Aymond. In addition to editing
"Rice University Studies," Dr.
Norbeck also edits the "Flyleaf,"
a small quarterly newsletter sent
to the Friends of Fondren Li-
brary to keep them abreast of
library developments.
Finally, "Architecture at Rice"
is published by Miss Carol Jones
in the Architecture Department
whenever there is any architec-
tural news worth noting.

STUDENT TEACHERS
More Grads Instruct Frosh,
Increase Relatively Small
A Thresher survey of the His-
tory, Mathematics and English
Departments indicates that grad-
uate students ax-e sharing little
more of the teaching load than
they have borne in the past.
The History Department has
added one teaching graduate stu-
dent to the four it used last year.
At present, five are conducting
once-a-week tutorials in History
110, with one of them handling a
History 100 section as well.
EXAMINATIONS from some
of the sections of the two fi-esh-
man courses are graded by a
group of graduate and under-
graduate students. This has been
a practice of the department for
a number of years.
Three graduate students are
teaching Math 101 classes, while
eight others conduct tutorials in
Math 100 and Math 200. Other
graduate students maintain of-
fice hours to give extra attention
to students who request it.

GRADUATE STUDENTS have
handled Math 100 tutorials in .the
past, but the break-up of the
large lecture sections in the other
two courses brought about an in-
creased use of student assistants.
Four out of 22 freshman Eng-
lish sections are taught by grad-
uate students. Other graduate
students serve as assistants to
full-time faculty members.
