THE THRESHER
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 2, 1963
White Approved
The Student Board met Wed-
nesday and gave primary at-
tention to the proposed appear-
ance of Josh White on Novem-
ber 24. A unanimous resolu-
tion, with Gary Hanovich ab-
staining', was passed to co-spon-
sor the concert with the Stu-
dent Senate at $1.50 a ticket.
A Peter, Paul and Mary con-
cert is scheduled for November
22, however, and it is possible
that all plans will be cancelled.
Students will be responsible
as of the first of next week for
o0 7" of repair or replacement'
of game materials used in the
Student Center. Also a possible
cinemascope screen for the Stu-
dent Center was discussed. All
efforts for renovation of the
Student Center basement await
plans from Mr. Elliot, super-
intendent of building and
grounds.

Magazines Often Examine Rice;
Some Have Published, Others Not
Rice University has been host
to reporters from many major
magazines in recent years. Life,
Look, Holiday, Time, Seventeen,
and Escapade have all attempt-
ed to expose us for what we are—
prodigies, beer-drinkers, or stu-
dents at one of the nation's most
richly endowed schools. Only the
latter three magazines have,
however, seen fit so far to put
their insights into print.
Howard Thompson, Director of
Development of the University,
makes it clear that Rice welcomes
any mention in national media.
It is part of his job to see that
the reporters get the full coop-
eration necessarv for their work.

The different magazines use
various methods to gather their
material. Life and Look photogra-
phers collect an excess number of
stories for each one printed, Holi-
day magazine, on the other hand,
has a story written, then sends
out its cameramen. Seventeen
too has a story on the newstands
which was handled entirely by
mail, with the Development Of-
fice providing the information
and a staff member of the mag-
azine doing the writing.
LAST YEAR'S "Time" story
was characterized by Thompson
as being an "extremely good
story." Reporter Mark Sullivan
spent about a week on campus
gathering information.
Although "Time" implied that
the University was financially se-
cure, due to a large endowment,
one man immediately bequeathed
a substantial sum to Rice in
his will. Because of the "Time"
article, he became aware for the
first time of the University's
existence.

Progress takes many shapes in the Bell System. And among
the shapers are young men, not unlike yourself, impatient
to make things happen for their companies and themselves.
There are few places where such restlessness is more wel-
comed or rewarded than in the fast-growing phone business.
