SA has money available to back conference-goers
by CRAIG COLLINS
This year the SA Senate has
allotted $500 of its funds for
student conferences and has ob-
tained an additional $500 from
the Dean of Students for this
purpose. Part of this money is
reserved for Senate-related con-
ferences, while the rest of it is
intended for other conferences
which can benefit the student
body in general or department-
al conferences at which Rice
can benefit from student rep-
resentation.
In order to distribute this
money as broadly as possible,
the SA hopes to provide partial
funding to assist students who
are interested in attending such
conferences and willing to pay
a share of their expenses. Con-
ferences of these types will be
publicized through the Thresher
when possible, but the funds
are by no means restricted to
those so publicized.
One conference of interest
takes place here in Houston on
November 19-22. Sponsored by
the U.S. National Committee
for UNESCO, it will investigate
the behaviour of man toward
his environment and will in-
clude the opportunity to ques-
tion U.S. and foreign delegates
to last summer's UN confer-
ence in Stockholm.
A second conference of in-
Fellowships, overseas jobs going
by CRAIG STAFFORD
"Whiat did you do last sum-
mer"? greets students return-
ing to school each fall. The
questioner, waiting for you to
toss back the same question,
examines his Majorca tan or
tightens his belt over a belly
accustomed to French crepes.
You hesitate, narrowing your
response to the time you went
to Little Dime Box (your car
broke down there) or an ani-
mated account of polishing
floors, part of your $60-a-week
summer job.
You don't ever have to wince
at the "What did you do last
summer?" question again! Ob-
serve :
The Danforth Foundation Fel-
lowship nominations must be
submitted by November 1st
These awards are for students
interested in a career of college
teaching.
Interested students should
contact John E. Parish, Room
101, Lovett Hall.
Jobs
You can see Europe and make
money at the same time!
Jobs Europe helps place stu-
dents in various positions in
Switzerland, England, and Belg-
ium. Often the job includes
room and board in addition to
a regular wage.
SOS (That's Student Over-
seas Services.) Work in Swit-
zerland, France, Germany, Ita-
ly, and Spain. Even grape-pick-
ing work, with free wine on the
Bide.
LAESTE/US (International
Association for the Exchange
of Students for Technical
Experience/ United State s—•
whew!) On-the-job training in
foreign countries for students
(sophs to grads) in engineer-
ing, architecture, agriculture,
and the sciences, deadline for
application is December 15.
Students interested in these
job programs should look
through the printed material on
the bulletin boards in the RMC
for more information arid ad-
dresses. Some organizations are
more reliable than others —
we sug-gest that you check out
any programs that interest you
before making a commitment.
terest ^occurs Nov. 19-21 at the
University of Georgia. Both the
theory and practice of campus
judicial systems will be ex-
amined; on one hand the rights
of the individual as opposed to
the needs of the institution, and
on the other several university
systems now in use involving
only students, only administra-
tion, and various arrangements
combining the two.
Those interested in request-
ing conference subsidies for
these or other conferences can
obtain a form for the purpose
from the SA Office, 2nd floor
RMC. Chances of receiving a
subsidy are best if the request
is submitted at least four weeks
prior to the conference.

you attend? „ u

you not a member of ?

intercollegiate athletics ?
2. Should Rice participate in
the SWC?
3. Do you favor the forma-
tion of a "super confer-
enc e" containing such
schools as Texas, Ark-
ansas, Oklahoma and
LSU ?
4. Will Rice ever be able to
win the SWC?

dents that you know apath-
etic towards football?

do you know personally?

the SWC?
8. Should the freshman team
be done away with in favor
of a "B" team?
