WEDNESDAY, OCT. 2, 1963
Library Exhibit Features Rouault,
Informs Student About Facilities
To complement the visit to the
campus of Georges Rouault's
"The Passion," the library has
been running an exhibit of the
life and works of Rouault. This
exhibit, set up at the request of
Mr. Roland Pomerat, assistant di-
rector of the RMC, is on the
second floor of the Fondren Li-
brary. It will run for about one
more week.
T h e display includes several
standard art reference works and
many demonstrations and criti-
cisms of Rouault's major paint-
ings.
THE PURPOSE of the display
nC hooks and folders, according
to Mrs. Ola Zachery Moore, ex-
hibits assistant at Fondren, is
to hotter acquaint the Rice stu-
dent with the library facilities
at his disposal.
According to Mrs. Moore ,the
library dees not have the staff
u> permit indiscriminant brows-
ing in the rave book room. As a
result, must students are unaware
"f the large number of rare bind-
ings in the library's collection.
The exhibit should help counter-
act this situation.
HIM ROUAULT display is but
"no of many exhibits which the
Fondren staff has planned forr i
the year. Planned for later in
the year is a student-faculty art
show, as well as displays on such
subjects as French and architec-
ture.
THE LIBRARY has also plan-
ned to engage a number of trav-
elling exhibits on various sub-
jects, though the number of these
is limited by a shortage of avail-
able funds.
If enough students express in-
terest, the library will put up an
exhibit on almost any subject. An
exhibit generally lasts two weeks.
In the alumni cases downstairs,
a display may run as long as
two months.
Nasty Ads, No!
Tom Soars was authorized
by unanimous vote of the Stu-
dent Senate September 25 to
"pen" the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the themes and
advertising of extra-curricular
functions sponsored by campus
organizations have on occa-
sian in the past been unneces-
sarily vulgar,
BE IT RESOLVED: that the
themes and advertising of all
such functions henceforth be
within the bounds of decency.

those who appreciated the novel-
ty of a quiet party, but a more
typical reaction was voiced by a
sophomore who attended the Will
Rice party: "crummy — really,
really dull."
"ONLY THE FINKS were
there," she continued, "Everyone
else went somewhere they could
drink."
Will Rice held the only party
where there was no drinking
whatsoever. Baker and Hanszen
made it very clear to their mem-
bers, however, that any drinking
was to be only under the provis-
ions of that now familiar Ai-ticle
1, Section 17(14) of the Texas
Liquor Control Act.
ATTENDANCE AT the par-
ties may have been down some-
what, but not radically. A com-
ment from the Baker party was
that a high percentage of seniors
and fifth year students were
there, but the younger members
of the college celebrated the Rice
victory elsewhere.
The Will Rice party may have
suffered somewhat from its be-
ing on campus. Commented Mor-
ris Davis, "Nobody in their right
mind would go to a party on
campus."
FOLLOWING THE "Flush"
fiasco, Dean Higginbotham turn-
ed investigation of the drinking
situation over to the Intercollege
Court and an SA. committee un-
der Bill Randol.
As a result of their investiga-
tion, the Court recommended to
the Senate that it "require all
student organizations planning
social functions to inform the
Councilman-at-large of specific
precautions being taken to in-
sure that state laws be obeyed."
The Rice Players, completely
oblivious to impending doom, held
their customary, distinctive cast
party after the play. Nonlollipops
and non-soft drinks were served.
THRESHING-IT-OUT-
(Continued from Page 3)
Or is it? A more insidious way
to look., at the question would be
to interpret the restrictions as a
statement that something Bad
(shudder!) would happen if the
restrictions were lifted. This
doesn't put our Yellow Roses in
a very flattering light.
OR IS IT that "they" think
the girls are basically wickeder
than boys, to be penned up at
n;ght like potentially dangerous
animals? Or is it that they want
the girls out of the way during
the time when most boys are just
beginning to study for the night?
None of these explanations
make any sense, and I believe
the real one would make no more.
Perhaps the restrictions are a
tradition from the more puritan
past, or merely a salve to par-
ents' consciences. In any event, I
think the rules could well stand
an objective evaluation.
Perhaps the Thresher would
like to take a poll?

The Jones College Cabinet did take
n poll, Mr. Rader. By unanimous vote of
the Cabinet, curfews were not only re-
tained, but shortened by a half hour
over last year's deadline. Find an
explanation for that if you can. We
can't.—Ed.

Now of course we realize that
Jess Neely is entirely too crafty
a coach to let an authority like
Burka escape. We suspect that
Burka has been added to the
"House of Neely." What a mag-
nificent addition to the coaching
staff he must be; this is truly
one of Neely's greatest moves
(it's got it all over his "daring
gamble" shift of Parry from end
to tailback.
WE SUSPECT that Burka has
not been given a definite assign-
ment since his talents and knowl-
edge of the game are far too
perceptive to be wasted on one
position. With his excellent anal-
ysis of Rice's line weakness, Bur-
ka must be of inestimable value
to line coach Joe Davis. And his
assertion that Rice doesn't hit
hard must warm the heart of end
coach Red Bale.
But if Burka does have a spe-
cialty it must be his knowledge
of cliches and the Southwest Con-
ference. We suspect that it is
here that Neely is putting Burka
to great use as a scout for fu-
ture Owl oponents.
BUT OUT OF that great store-
house of football knowledge, we
have found a flaw in the knowl-
edge of Burka. "Have you ever-
seen an Arkansas back fall back-
wards?" asks Burka. Enclosed
please find a picture of the
Hogg's Billy Moore falling back
five yards when hit in the Sugar
Bowl this year by Old Miss' Buck
Randall.
Of course we realize that
Burka has already analyzed all
the Ole Miss flaws what with
the Rebels tie by Memphis State,
but we just thought he and your
readers might want to see this
picture.

Stokes Points Out
Economic Factor
In No-Beer Rule
To the Editor:
T. G. in his "Perspective: our
Phantom Competence" leaves us
with considerably less choice than
one might think.
The first section invokes us to
maintain our somewhat strained
relations on the grounds that we
have no recourse. It laments the
ludicrous situation, but it says
there is no other way. He says
it best, "an absurd system, but
we can live with it."
THE MAIN MESSAGE of the
second part is that our social
conventions which we are lb hot
for defending really leave some-
us for something over which our
control is somewhat limited (and
rightly so, according to him).
The fact is that in Will Rice
College last year, the social cal-
endar underwent agonizing re-
view in open session. But, it is
still true that economics— not
intention—dictates the type of
party a~college can have and re-
main solvent (that is with the two
givens: no liquor in commons, no
parties in rooms).
Mr. G. is consistent through-
cut. His summation to the first
part is fine for the second, "An
absurd system, but we can live
with it." The absurd part is that
we can live with the system, but
under it we lack the opportuni-
ties to give the type of enter-
tainment we can socially defend.
