Rice political clubs emphasize
meetings with discussions and
speakers rather than active work
in political campaigns, say spok-
esmen of both Young Republicans
and Young Democrats.
Young Republicans are having
organizational problems this
year; their president had to re-
sign because he started working
lor NASA. In spite of their lack-
ing a president, the club has made
plans to have Desmond Barry, a
Republican candidate for Council-
man-at-large in the last electeion,
speak at a meeting in December.
"A LOT OF PEOPLE have ex-
pressed interest in the Young Re-
publicans," asserted Blake Touch-
stone, "but no one has taken it
upon himself to get things organ-
ized. There just doesn't seem to
be anyone who has the time."
Last year five members of the
Rice group attended the state
convention, and officers have, in
the past, participated in work-
shops on problems of money,
membership, and supporting Re-
publican candidates. No one from
Rice attended the last workshop
held in September.
ALMOST ALL the active work
is done during campaigns," stated
Chapel To Present
Lecture Recital On
Organ And Carillon
By RICHARD BEST
Thursd;ay at 7:15 pm the Rice
Chapel will present Roland Pom-
< rat, the University's Organist
and Carillonneur in a Lectui'e
Recital describing the history
and tonal resources of the two
musical instruments in the Rice
Memorial Chapel: the Fisk ba-
roque organ and the new Row
carillon.
Music for the organ will include
works by Charles. John Stanley,
Nicholas Lebogue, and Louis
Claude d'Aquin, and J. S. Bach's
Prelude and Fugue in D major.
Carillon music will be of the
Dutch and Belgian schools: Van
den Gheyn, DeFesch, Jef Denyn,
Leen t'Hart, and Gustav Nees.
Following the recital, at 8 pm
in the Grand Hall of the RMC,
Mrs. Bickerman Hollister will ex-
plain the proposed Temple of
Understanding to be built in
Washington, D. C. This building,
with a wing for each major re-
ligion, will be a place of relig-
ious learning rather than a place
of worship. Religious leaders
from all over the world are co-
operating in this undertaking.

VENDORS

"Serving the Rice Campus with
Automatic Vending Machines"
Vaughn Camps. "We try to have
meetings during the year to keep
up interest, but it usually drops
off until the next election."
Young Democrats have had
several speakers this year—Bar-
bara Jordan, a Negro lawyer in
Houston and former candidate for
the state legislature, and Andrew
Shuval, State President of the
Young Democrats. Their next
speaker will be Bill Kilgarlin,
County Chairman of the Demo-
ci'atic Party.
ALTHOUGH THE club has-
n't officially sponsored any cam-
paign work, members of the
group have been active in voter
registration and in the recent
election, favoring repeal of the
poll tax. "We hope to become a
working organization," says pres-
ident Ed Burton, "but we are
unable to operate that way at
the present time."
Immediate plans of the group
include a door-to-door drive urg-
ing people to buy their poll tax
and the possibility of having
someone on campus to sell poll
taxes.
RICE YOUNG DEMOCRATS
are active participants in the
State Young Democrats organi-
zation, and are presently invol-
ved in the fight between the lib-
erals and conservatives to gain
control of the organization. The
Rice group is predominantly lib-
eral.
The conservative University of
Texas and TCU groups are
large enough to control the state
at the present time, but liberals
are trying to gain power through
the philosophy of organizing
Negro and Latin American clubs,
explains Ed Burton. Until this
year, liberals have had control.
Burton expressed concern that
no one at Rice takes much of an
active role in politics. "We hope
to appeal to someone on the fac-
ulty to run for legislature or
school board."
