toward liberty—laissez faire
Initial success with Census, new SCS plans
Thus far in our columns, we
of the Students for a Capitalist
Society have attempted to air
views of our members concern-
ing various political, economic
and philosophical issues which
relate to the economic doctrines
of laissez faire capitalism and
its attendant libertarian philo-
sophy. In this column, we will
deal with some of the past,
present and future activities of
our organization. This should
help to operationally define our
movement in terms of our ac-
tions. As part of a larger politi-
cal movement, our educational
actions serve to promote revolu-
tionary ideals in this age of
ideological irrationality and con-
fusion.
The first stage of the Hous-
ton Census resistance effort
came off successfully Jan. 30,
with widespread TV, radio, and
newspaper coverage. Together
with the U. of H. Libertarian
Caucus, we distributed hundreds
of leaflets urging people to re-
sist Big Brother. The over-
whelming majority of people
Ruggers set for
spring season
The Rice Rugby Club ushered
in the new season with a series
of stunning victories that have
left few doubters to the claim
that they are the premier team
in Texas. In the short span of
nine days, the Owls made be-
lievers of five opponents and
captured their first tournament
championship trophy.
On Saturday, Jan. 31, the new
look in Rice Rugby was un-
veiled. The Rice A team took on
Baylor Med, who have perhaps
the best backfield in Texas. The
Doctors covered a punt in the
Rice end zone for a quick five
point lead, but served only to
sihake Rice out of their lethargic
play. Slowly moving the ball
down the field, the Owls broke
the scoring ice with a beautiful
play in which the scrum con-
trolled a line out, the backs
moved forward, and Dave Ott,
following the play, was hit with
a quick pass and scored. Minutes
later Steve Sheafor drove
across for another try and Rice
had a half time lead of 8-5. The
second half was all Rice as Tom
McGarrity got his-first try and
Ronnie Greff added a penalty
kick to make the final score
14-8.
The B team, not to be out-
done, literally ran the Houston
All-Stars off the field 17-3. It
was no contest as L. V. Benning-
field, Bill Barkerdale, and com-
pany outplayed and outhustled
their foe.
Last weekend the Club made
a trip to Hammond, La., for
their annual Mardi Gras Tour-
nament. Highly optimistic hopes
were tempered during the week
preceding as the injury and flu
list grew. Only 18 men were
finally able to make the trip
to the tournament, which in-
cluded such teams as U. of Mis-

we talked to were sympathetic,
although the few rednecks we
encountered urging us to 'get
jobs' and support the draft pro-
vided an amusing sidelight. Fu-
ture Census plans include media
coverage and additional leaflet-
ing.
One direct result of our cam-
paign was an invitation to pro-
duce a 5 minute weekly radio
show on Pacifica (KPFT). Pa-
cifica should be on the air by
March 1, (God and the FCC
willing) and the exact time of
our show will be announced
later.
While not an SCS project, the
movie Fountainhead will be
shown on campus March 8. This
controversial movie based on
Ayn Rand's bestselling novel
should prove interesting for
those interested in the philoso-
phical-ethical principles of Ob-
jectivism.
The SCS hopes to soon set
up a literature table in the RMC
with books, pamphlets, posters,
etc.
The University of Houston is
bringing in Rod Manis sometime
during the middle of March. Rod
is currently employed at the
Hover Institute on War, Revolu-
tion, and Peace at Stanford and
is a Ph.D. candidate in econom-
ics. He is an articulate liber-
tarian spokesman and hopes are
to bring him to Rice to speak,
or debate someone of collectiv-
ist-statist-'liberal' persuasion.
The Texas Libertarian Alli-
ance hopes to hold a Rampart
College seminar in Texas some-
time this semester. These week
long seminars are conducted by
Robert LaFevre, noted libertar-
ian anarchist and pacifist. In-
terested persons should contact
the SCS.
Other SCS activities in the
works are Tax Resistance ef-
forts in April, anti-draft action
to coincide with the spring Con-
gressional draft hearings, a
speaking program for civic
groups and high schools, and
the formation of study groups.
S<PS meeting time has been
changed from Monday to Wed-
nesday night, Room 102 Ander-
son Hall. Our future Thresher
columns will deal with lai'ger
political-ethical issues, as well
as SCS activity news.

Cafeteria bought
WASHINGTON — (CPS) —
Federal City College students
got tired of what they consid-
ered poor food service at the
college's cafeteria. So they
bought it.
The Student Government As-
sociation (SGA) sponsored a
cabaret and car raffle in De-
cember and used the funds to
buy the cafeteria from the Ser-
vomation Co. Student operated
food service began Jan. 12.
While Servamation continues
to operate vending machines in
the cafeteria, the SGA has hired
a staff to prepare all hot and
fresh foods. And the prices have
been reduced.
Operating as a non-profit
corporation, the SGA also runs
a campus barber shop and plans
to open a student-run snack bar.
