Summer course to train future publishers
With the prevalence of new
magazines in the past few
years, you may be tempted to
try your hand in publishing,
create your own Rolling
Stone or Texas Monthly.
You've already picked out a
name, generated a few ideas
about what you will put in
your mag, maybe even
targeted your audience.
However the path to your
publishing empire is a bit more
complicated than you've
anticipated. This summer, the
Office of Continuing Studies
will offer a course that will
give would-be Jann Wenners
and Rupert Murdochs a few
pointers.
The Rice Publishing
Program, scheduled for June
5-30, will introduce novices to
the art, science and/or
mystery of book and magazine
publishing as well as serve as
a refresher course for working
professionals. Probably the
first program of its kind in the
Southwest, the course will
consist of lectures from over
forty top professionals and
workshops where students
will simulate a book
publishing concern and a
magazine.
Deadline for early decision
admission is January 31,
while the final deadline is
March 31. Applicants need to

Jones School gets Merrill grant
The Jesse H. Jones
Graduate School of Adminis-
tration recently received a
$50,000 grant for general
operating expenses from The
Charles E. Merrill Trust. In
acknowledging the grant,
President Hackerman said the
Merrill Trust's contribution
would be "a significant factor
in the growth and develop-
ment of the Jones School in its
formative period."
"Operation of the Jones
School will require an
endowment of $16 million,"
Hackerman pointed out.
"Commitments of about $11
million of this total are in
hand and are being paid, most
of them over a period of years. A
campaign is underway to raise
the remaining $5 million."
Hackerman added, "The
Jones School's dean, Robert R.
Sterling, has assembled a
faculty of high quality and his
first class of students—the
school opened August 29,
1977—looks exceptional. This
combination, coupled with the
thriving business environ-
ment of Houston, a significant
source of students and faculty
for Rice's newest academic
division, leads us to feel roat
the Jones School will reach its
goal of becoming one of the
outstanding management
schools in the country in a
brief period of time."
Lovett sets dart tourney
Are you one of those people
who have dart boards hanging
in their rooms, yet never
understood the meaning of all
those numbers, or the various
broad and narrow rings, or
even the strategy of throwing
at such a board? Is your dart
board simply a means of
releasing your frustrations?
Or are you a dart shark with
an accurate eye and a set of
perfectly balanced $50 darts?
Well, if you are any^of these, or
if you are interested in trying
your dart throwing skills, your
chance to match your
accuracy against others has
come. Lovett College is
holding the Rice Open 301
Darts Tournament on Friday,
