Sheriff Sqielches Rice Lime Ran;
Racing Faae To Try Agaia Friday
The Lime'Run sponsored by the road ancPsent in a com-
the Rice Sports Car Club Satur-
day was interrupted when offi-
cers from the Harris County
Sheriff's Office ordered the par-
ticipants to , get off the streets
in 30 minutes.
According to club president
Dwight Calkins approximately
three-fourths of the 37 entries
were stopped by the two road-
blocks. Although the officers
did not issue any ticket® for
traffic violations during the
event, students were detained
for as much as two hours.
"We were unable to convince
the officers we weren't 'drag-
ging'," Calkins stated. "Appar-
ently some of the farmers in the
area 6aw more than two cars or
plaint."
Officers of the club spoke
to officials of the sheriff's of-
fice later and were told that
their events would not be dis-
rupted in the future if they in-
form the Sheriff's office dis-
patcher in advance.
Another lime run is being
scheduled for this Friday. The
$3 entry fee will be deferred for
participants in last week's run.
Calkins affirmed that the course
will be very clearly designated
and the sheriff will be called.

"Serving the Rice Campus with

(SCONA) held at Texas A&M
December 9-12.
Students from 75 Canadian,
United States and Latin Ameri-
can universities, including Hans-
zen junior Bill Broyles and
Baker junior Ron Green, dis-
cussed the future of Pan-Amer-
ican relations among themselves
and with numerous authorities
from government, education and
business.
Round-Table Discussion
Discussion among the stu-
dents, who were divided daily
into eight small round-table
groups, was sparked by a run-
ning debate between Lewis U.
Hanke, Professor of Latin
American History at Columbia
University, and Jules Dubois,
Latin American correspondent
for the Chicago Tribune Press
Service.
Hanke urged the delegates
not to allow an overemphasis on
the threat of Communism to
detract their attention from
Latin America's particular and
pressing problems.
Dubois countered with a de-
tailed documentary of Commun-
ist subversions, from Panama
to Puerto Rico, terming these
activities "Latin America's most
pressing problem."
Noted Latins Spoke
In addition to these speakers,
SCONA delegates heard Glenn
C. Bassett, vice president of
the International Department of
the Chase Manhattan Bank; R.
Richard Rubottom, former Am-
bassador to Argentina; and a
panel composed of a Latin

American businessman, an offi-
cial of Sears Roebuck's Latin
American division, and an offi-
cial of the Canadian govern-
ment.
The stated purpose of SCONA
is to "bring together outstand-
ing leaders from the various
schools represented to explore
timely national and international
issues. It does not attempt to
solve these problems, but an ef-
fort is made to study their im-
pact and complexity."
Brings Divergent Opinions
According to Bill Broyles, one
of the Rice delegates to the
conference, the meeting did just
that: "The presence of students
from throughout the Americas
brought a variety of divergent
opinions to bear on the prob-
lems of Latin America."
"To attempt to solve these
problems was far beyond our
competence and our power,"
said Broyles. "I do think, how-
ever, that everyone who at-
tended departed with a better
understanding of the delicate
interrelationships which com-
pose the political, economic and
social structures of the Ameri-
can continent."
moment, suggesting they wait
a year.
De Hartog, author of "The
Hospital," had typified the hos-
pitals as public utilities which
are run as economically as pos-
sible "to keep the dying off the
streets."
Need Not
Emphasizing an immediate
need for volunteer workers at
the hospital, de Hartog told the
students the Red Cross would
set up a training program on
campus if 30 volunteers signed
up to take it.
Mr. de Hartog, a Quaker,
spent much time referring to
the rule of "ten cents of action
for every five cents of talk." It
was this ethic which prompted
several members of his faith to
volunteer to work in the Hous-
ton charity hospitals. They were
accepted, Mr. de Hartog feels,
because they weren't likely to
cause trouble.
Since nurses aren't allowed to
speak against the administra-
tion for which they work, and
Baylor limits the doctors under
their control, the volunteers
were the only ones who could
protest.
Local 'Lunacy'
In his attempts to raise mon-
ey, Mr. de Hartog discovered
what he calls the lunacy of Hou-
ston, the fact that people will
not give money, but will volun-
teer personal service. Mr. de-
Hartog encountered a new prob-
lem using these volunteers. They
needed Red Cross training, but
the Red Cross could not start
a teaching program until they
had been asked to do so by the
hospital.
It took four months to get
this approval. They were then
alowed to work only under cer-
tain conditions of discrimination.'
Their numbers eventually grew
and there are now 600 aides. But
this is not enough. The hospital
needs 3,500 to carry out thd in-
tensive care for which it was de-
signed, de Hartog said.
Wiess To Hire Female Secretary;
Baker, Hanszen Expect To Follow
BY ROBERT WATSON
Thresher Staff Reporter
Wiess College will exchange
its office men for a full-time
college secretary beginning in
January. The move was approv-
ed last week by President K. S
Pitzer and Ciampus Business
Manager J. R. Sims.
It is expected that the secre-
tary will handle much of the col-
lege business, such as: typing and
mailing, taking some of the load
off the masters' secretary, Mrs.
Irma Turner. The new secre-
tary will also distribute mail,
answer the telephone, and per-
form the other duties of the
custodians now employed.

expected from the change. "We
ho.pe the presence of a female
in the office will add to the
generaj atmospher of the lounge
area," Wiess President Bill Mc-
Gregor explains.
Baker and Haniszen have in-
dicated an interest in instituting
the same plan. Baker hopes to
follow suit as soon as possible.
Hanszen is handicapped by the
present lack of facilities, which,
however, should be available
next year.
Will Rice at this time also
lacks the space. Its officers are
following a wait-and-see pol-
icy, doubting whether one per-
son can handle all the work.
The person hired will be se-
lected by the college master and
president. McGregor predicts a
matronly type for Wiess. It is
reported that the response
among members of Wiess has
been very favorable.
