Beset Attempts To PiMish 'Flash'
Generally it appears that
there is great interest in the
new Rice humor magazine, the
"Flash." At a recent organiza-
tional meeting some thirty-two
students were present—ranging
in level from Frosh to Grad.
"But interest alone can't get
a mag like this published," Ed-
itor Dick Janowski stated in
a sober moment. "We're having
the devil of a time finding a
publisher who will take the job
for a reasonable price. The
"Flash" recognizes the de-
generate state of the collective
Student pocketbook and is try-
ing to charge a fair price for its
collectively degenerate humor."
LAST WEEK the Student
Senate passed favorable judge-
ment on the "Flash's" constitu-
tion. "If they think they can
get away with that without a
fight," shouted publicity-man-

ager Bob Cambridge, "they've
got another think coming!"
In - structure the "Flash" re-
sembles both the Thresher and
"Janus" the other authorized
University publications. It con-
sists of literary and managerial
branches, "and a Scapegoat."
The literary branch does the cre-
ative work, the managerial does
the dirty work, and the "Scape-
goat" takes the blame.
"WE CAN'T miss," said Ja-
nowski. He continued, "Any and
all material will be Avelcome.
The more names we can put on
our roster, the smaller the bur-
den of guilt each must bear."
The real purpose is to build up
a backlog for a possible quick
successive issue, once a publish-
er is found.
Material may be sent to the
following people: The "Flash",
Box 333, Wiess; Robert Stem,
303 Baker; Barney McCoy, 213
Hanszen; Bud Brown, 131 Will
Rice; Tracy Clark, 337 North
Jones; and Elwood P. Suggins,

banks, Jr., Alaska, according to
the "Flash" editor.

representation wil'l be reduced to
one. As stated in the proposal,
total membership would range
from 11 to 16. Hopefully, this
smaller body will be more ef-
ficient and if the Senate con-
tinues to act as a Committee of
the Whole, can get more done.
In reducing college represen-
tation, the powers of student
government are vested in the
hands of fewer people. In order
to keep final authority in the
hands of the colleges and to pre-
vent a polarization and conflict
of Senate vs. college govern-
ments, the proposed amendment
provides that "a majority of
college cabinets may call for
reconsideration of any action
of the Student Senate." Such
action, in order to pass, must
then receive a two-thirds ma-
jority of the Senate. This means
that final authority will rest
with the college cabinets which
are closer to the student body
than the Senate.

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANIES
SALUTE: GEORGE PYLAND
Engineering at Southwestern Bell offers many facets for
developing talents and abilities. For George Pyland
(B.S.M.E.. 1958). his present position of District Engineer.
V ictoria. Texas, makes him responsible for all outside plant
engineering in some 25 towns.
This is quite a demanding position for a young man
only five years out of college. But for George, this is just
another opportunity to prove himself. Throughout his
career with the telephone company, he has been given every
chance to show his capacity for increased responsibilities.
j
In previous assignments, George has supervised large
numbers of employees responsible for maintaining top-
quality telephone service. He has supervised outside main-
tenance and repair personnel as well as coordinating the
work functions of central office people. His initiative has
paid off in satisfaction and increased compensation.
George Pyland, like many young engineers, is impatient
to make things happen for his company and himself. There
are few places where such restlessness is more welcomed
or rewai>ded -than in the fast-growing telephone business.

The only valid' criticism of
these proposals is that tihey do
not include a piwision for an
off-campus senator. But at pres-
ent four Senators from the col-
leges do live off-campus. It is
possible for an off-campus stu-
dent to be elected to student
government, either as a college
representative or a member of
the Executive Committee.
We sincerely hope that you
carefully consider and approve
the above proposals. We believe
they will contribute to a more
efficient and meaningful stu-
dent government on the Rice
campus.

Daemonic!
The March 7 debut of the
1964 Archi-Arts Ball prom-
ises to be one thing—grotesque.
Under the general theme
"Daemonia" the dance at the
Shamrock will feature the five
honorees garbed as varying
grotesqueries of the female
sex: Impertinence, Vulgarity,
Vanity, Frigidity, and Frivolity'.
Guests to the party are encour-
aged to vie among themselves
for the supreme grotesqueness.
The honorees are being met-
amorphosed by members of
the architecture department.
Dan Barnum will design a cos-
tume for Peggy Saunders,
Kurth Brown for Martha Mc-
Kean, John Crowder for-Sheila
McCartney, Jack McClelland
for Elaine Hord, and John Mul-
len for Anne d'Olier. Tickets
will go on sale Monday.

In addition, the proposal fails
to deal with two other problems
that would arise under it. First,
on matters of opinion it cannot
be said that nine people repre-
sent the student body, especial-
ly when three of them (V. Presi-
dent, Secretary, and Treasurer)
are elected only to fill specific
functions.
SECOND, WHILE some of
the representatives should be
elected from the colleges, there
is a high probably that stu-
is a high probability that stu-
dents interested in all-school af-
fairs would not be elected from
any one college but might be
in an all-school election. This
is particularly true of off-cam-
pus students who are not now
adequately represented in all-
school matters and would be
almost wholly excluded under
the proposed change.
For these reasons, I do not
consider the proposed change
acceptable in its present form,
and regard that the time was
not taken to consider such ob-
jections at the only Senate
meeting in which it was discuss-
ed and that the constitutional
minimum of time has been al-
lowed to pass before the elec-
tion.
