tonight." He went on to defend
his statements at the Election
Committee meeting, saying he
was only repeating Pierce's
claims: "I gave him [Pierce] a
copy of the rules. He asked me
about this [the stickers in the
Jones mailboxes], and I
thought it was probably a
violation, and so he said, 'Well,
I guess we'll have to get them
out.' Ed Pierce told me they
were out. I do not know if they
were out."
Thresher reporter Kim
Brown then, responded to
Hale's charge of being
misquoted, pointing out that
the article was written with
the aid of a tape of the meeting
to make sure the quotes were
accurate, and added, "What's
more, I'm prepared to bet my
place on the Thresher staff
against your place with the SA
that you were quoted
correctly." After a round of
applause and laughter by the
Senators, Hale explained more

specifically what he objected
to in the article. Brown replied,
"What you say speaks for itself
to these people [the Senators]."
Hale answered, "I don't think
that what I said at the election
committee really has any
bearing, so I'd like to go
ahead."
There was further dis-
cussion of how diligently the
committee had investigated
the charges, including
statements by committee
chairman Connie Senior and
by Pierce. Pierce stated, "I
agree with Kim Brown and
some points in his article, and
that's to say there was very
little investigation. And for
that matter it seems there's a
big 'personal scandal' going
on. I think it'd be a lot clearer if
the facts were just brought out
and decided on."
Ricky Bost, Internal Affairs
VP, moved at that point to
remand the whole matter back
to the Election Committee for
"further investigation." After
a brief discussion of whether
the University Court would be
a more appropriate body to
investigate, the motion
passed.
Bost then remembered that
Mike Smith, winner of the 1977
Campanile Business Mana-
ger election, was ineligible to
hold office, and moved to
repeal the approval which had
been given to that race fifteen
minutes earlier. That was
approved, and a new election
was set; petitions are due in the
SA office Monday.
Honor roll limits. . .
(continued from page 1)
By setting an upper limit on
the numbpr of members of the
Dean's Team, some school
officials hope that the effects
of grade inflation can be
masked. "We didn't want to
create a super elite," said
Katherine Brown, Dean of
Undergraduate Affairs, "but
we felt the process used in
determining eligibility should
be more selective. We were

aproaching the 50% level.
Under the other system, the
more grade inflation there is,
the longer the honor roll.. .this
at least controls the length of
it," Brown stated.
Each semester, the Regis-
trar's Office will compute the
GPA's of all Rice undergrad-
uates using the standard 4-
point system (A 1+ would count
as a 4.33). The Committee on
Examinations and Standing
will then use those figures to
determine the cutoff point. The
30% figure is only approxi-
mate, according to Dean
Brown.
Studen ts will be able to find
out their individual GPA's and
the cutoff point for the Honor
Roll each semester by visiting
the Registrar's Office;
however, as in the past,
individual GPA's will not be
revealed to anyone other than
the student requesting their
own figures.
The new system was used
this past semester in
determining those listed on the
Honor Roll; however, a 35%
ceiling was set as a temporary
cutoff.
Imagine an order of 22,000 priests and brothers in 73
countries around the world. (That's a pretty big family.)
But that's what the Salesians of St. John Bosco are all
about — a large family of community-minded men dedicated
to the service of youth. (And no one gets lost.)
In the 1800's a chance meeting between a poor
priest and a street urchin served to create a movement of such
success that it is still growing today. Don Bosco became the
priest who brought youth back from the streets — and
back to God.
He reasoned that a program of play, learn and pray would
make useful citizens of the world. He crowded out evil with
reason, religion and kindness in a (what was then unheard of)
atmosphere of family spirit.
The ideals of St. John Bosco are still with us today. His
work goes on in boys clubs, technical and academic schools,
guidance centers, summer camps and missions. And his very
human approach is very evident in the family spirit of the
Salesians. This is the way he wanted it. This is the way it is.
The Salesian experience isn't learned — it's lived.
