THE THRESHER
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 6, 196S
Incidental
Intelligence
By GARY HANOVICH
The 1964 Campanile will harbor
a few surprises when it makes
its appearance in September.
Tentative plans call for the
elimination of the organization
sections filled with the same pic-
tures that appear in the college
sections.
Also scheduled to disapear is
the faculty section. These will be
replaced by expanded pictorial
coverage of the year's activities.
In an even more radical de-
parture, plans call for the book
to he bound along the short side
(what is now the top).

thusiastic over the spirit shown
by the student body in Austin,
plan to continue the double line
formed by male students at the
beginning of each game.
Head cheerleader Cecil Schwal-
be is still talking about the im-
pressive behavior of those form-
ing the line before the second
half of the Austin game.

The Thresher reprint service
strikes again. The following
appeared in the letter? column of
the University of Houston
Cougar.
Why do I pay a $25 activity
fee each semester?
Why do I pay a .$5 parking fee
when 1 cannot find a place to
pa) k
Why am I in class with lfi')
i if her students ?
Why do i have to have classes
on television?
Why doesn't your paper answer
these questions ?
Why not put your paper out
in pink rolls:?
The Cougar replied in part:
• . The Cougar isn't print-
ed in pink rolls because it is
obviously too hard for you to
read already."
® • •
One Rice student who was up-
set. by the stringent open house
rules at this institution as com-
pared with others received the
following reply from a university
spokesman:
"If your sex life is unsatis-
factory, mere off campus."

The current issue of Sallyport
reports that the alumni fund
drive last year brought in $110,-
000 <m a budget of approximate-
ly $77,000. This figures out to
a •'.() per cent return on expenses.

Basement furniture from the
student center got more use last
week than any time except the
world series. The Rice Players
borrowed it for use in "The
American Dream."

There has been some confusion
in the earth and space sciences
building (formerly the partially-
used geology building). This
apparent mixup was obviously en-
gendered by the numerous for-
eign students in the departments.
To resolve the problem, the
second-floor women's restroom
now carries a poster emblazoned
with the legend "Women" in ten
languages and one universal
biological symbol.

Committee Requests
Proposals For Sammy's
A list of proposals ^pr the im
provement of Sammy's has been
drawn up by a Student Senate
Committee in conjunction with
University Business Manager J.
R. Sims.
According to Tom Sears, the
chairman of the student commit-
tee, "Sammy's is the only place
on campus to get between-meal
snacks and should serve as an
eating place for those students
not dining in the colleges.
"BESIDES THESE obvious
functions, Sammy's should pro-
vide an informal student and fac-
ulty meeting place transcending
the boundaries of classroom and
college."
With this in mind, the pro-
posals call for the food service to
be operated by a catering service.
Short orders would be provided
from 8 am to 10:150 pm on week-
days and from 5 pm to 10:30 pm
on Sundays. Plate lunches would
be served weekdays at noon. The
committee forsees no essential
changes in food prices.
REGARDING PHYSICAL facil-
ities, the committee has outlined
several changes to improve Sam-
my's attractiveness as a student
gathering place. The ceiling would
be "lowered" by means of a hung
ceiling or by using suspended
light fixtures. The present light-
ing system would be ('hanged to
provide "warmer" lighting. In
connection with this, the east
partition would be enlivened by
a mural or by being repainted.
These proposals are by no
means final. Dr. Sims has indi-
cated that the basic operation of
Sammy's will be changed, and
that the nature of these changes
should be determined by the stu-
dents.
The committee hopes that ideas
will be forthcoming from the stu-
dent body. A box will be in Sam-
my's through Tuesday, November
12, to receive any additions or
specific objections to these pro-
posals.
