Donations swell college bowl fund
By WILLIAM HAJJEY
Thresher Reporter
As a result of contributions
of faculty and friends of the
University, the $10,500 in schol-
arship funds won for the Uni-
versity by last year's champ-
ionship College Bowl team has
grown to a permanent fund of
over $25,000.
The College Bowl team, com-
posed of Harriet Mauzy of
BroWn College, Lawson Taitte,
Gordon Braden, and Bill Ken-
nedy, all of Baker, won five
victories on the G.E.-sponsored
elevision program, compiling
the highest cumulative score,
as well as the highest score for
a single game, in the nine year
history of the show.
Permanent Fund
As a follow-through program,
several members of the faculty
expressed a desire to use the
prize money as a nucleus for a
permanent scholarship fund to
commemorate Rice's victory.
Professor of Physics H. E.
Rorschach sent a letter to fac-
ulty members pointing out that
recognition of the sort afforded
by the College Bowl victory
would bring better graduate and
undergraduate students to Rice
and inviting contributions to
the fund.
Dr. Rorschach was active a
few years ago in the successful
effort to establish a permanent
fund for the Heaps Prize in
Chorale features
spirituals, folksong
Four Negro spirituals as well
as traditional French, English,
and New England folksongs
will be featured by the Rice
Chorale in its first public con-
cert Tuesday evening, Novem-
ber 29.
The Chorale, directed by Dr.
Wayne Bedford, will sing at 8
pm in the Grand Hall of the
RMC.
A Haydn piece denouncing
evils of Demon Rum is one of
the more unusual songs that
the Chorale has prepared. End-
ing the concert will be a num-
ber of popular works including
"Lara's Theme" from "Dr. Zhi-'
vago" and "The Shadow of
Your Smile" from 'The Sand-
piper."
The concert will be free.
Physics, in memory of the late
Rice Professor of Physics
Claude Heaps.
Widespread Interest
Dr. Rorschach said he was
surprised at the amount of in-
terest shown in the project, and
specially in the generosity of
the faculty, who responded with
contributions ranging from $50
to "quite large."
It is hoped that the fund will
ultimately reach $'30,000, the
figure needed to endow one full
tuition scholarship, to be known
as the College Bowl Champions
Scholarship, each year.
The Treasurer's Office is still
accepting contributions from
students and other interested
persons who wish to comme-
morate the Rice College Bowl
victory in this way.
Remember the a la mode!

There was a noticeable ab-
sence of good humor Tuesday
night, following the Inter-Col-
lege Court's failure to deal
effectively with litigation in-
volving Jones and Baker Col-
leges.
The dispute arose over who
would pay for $37.64 worth of
ice cream served at a Baker-
Jones buffet during freshman
week.
«The Court encountered its
first difficulty when Baker
counsels, Chuck Young and Jeff
Norris, noted that Jones had

filed the suit against "Baker
College." Young and Norris re-
quested that about 20 members
of Baker, technically defend-
ants in the case, be admitted
to the courtroom.
The Court, headed by Chair-
man Mickey Guiberteau, voted
4 to 1 against opening the
trial to the so-called"defend-
ants." Baker's two representa-
tives then left the courtroom,
"pending a reversal of the de-
cision."
Lacking a clear precedent
with which to cope with the
unexpected turn of events, the
Court considered several pro-
posals: Jones counsel Eileen
Doyle, who had appeared in a
different court last week, sug-
gested that if Baker College
wished to be the defendant,
then all members of Baker must
come to the trial.
War Criminals
But Justice Arthur Rogers
of Will Rice College, fearing
that an open trial would create
a circus-like atmosphere, pro-
posed that Jones simply bring
a new charge against specific
people at Baker such as the
freshman social chairman.
However, Chairman Guiber-
teau finally invoked a judicial
procedure usually reserved for
traitors and war criminals:
Baker would be tried in ab-
sentia.
The trial thus got underway
with Eileen Doyle and Pat
Bryan—counsels for the plain-
tiff—recounting the numerous
instances in which Baker had
allegedly shown "extreme un-
cooperativeness and discourtesy
in dealing with Jones."
Scales Jammed
When Baker rejected a Jones
compromise solution, an offer
to split evenly the cost of the
ice cream, Jones felt that its
only recourse was to turn to
an unbiased third party.
After Jones summed up its
case, Chairman Guiberteau dis-
missed the Jones attorneys
along with the Thresher court
reporter, and commenced to
weigh the evidence—or half the
evidence, as it were.
But the scales of justice had
evidently jammed. Baker Col-
lege President Jim Scott was
summoned to the deliberations;
shortly after his arrival, the
Court called Miss Doyle into
the secret session.
Just Desserts
The upshot of the evening's
litigation was that President
Scott, acting on behalf of his
college, agreed to settle the
dispute through mediation.
Jones, in turn, promised to
drop the charges against Baker.
The Jones counsels regretted
that Baker had not been given
its just desserts. But they were
particularly disappointed in the
Court, which, according to Miss
Doyle, "has possibilities, but
needs strengthening to be an
effective body."
