Energy conference Feb. 14
Classes will be suspended
February 14 so that students may
attend a landmark conference at
Rice on "Energy and Our Present
Generation."
The symposium, designed by
Rice students and faculty to
encourage the Rice community to
examine the effects of the rising
cost of energy, will include
speeches, a selection of half-hour
tutorials, and panel discussions.
Secretary of Energy Charles
Duncan, a 1947 Rice graduate, is
the headlined speaker. Tutorials
will be given by — among others —
Rice professors Stephen
Klineberg, Franz Brotzen, Chad
Gordon, and John Freeman, the
Citizens Environmental Coalition,
and Houston Lighting and Power
Co.
Technological aspects of energy
supply will be discussed in the
morning to provide a reference
point for afternoon debates on
how this generation will adapt to
the future of energy.
USAF seminar spot open;
applications due Friday
Rice has been invited to send
one delegate to the Twenty-second
Air Force Academy Assembly, to
be held at the Air Force Academy
near Colorado Springs, March 11-
15. "Integrity of the University" is
the topic of the conference, which
will examine the responsibility of
the university to its students, and
vice versa.
Applications for the all-
expenses-paid trip should be
submitted in writing to the Dean of
Undergraduate Affairs, 101 Lovett
Hall, no later than Friday, January
25. Students should include in
their application the basis for their
interest in the topic.
All costs of travel, meals, and
lodging will be covered variously
by Dr. Hackerman, the student
Association, and the Air Force
Academy. "In past years this has
been a lively and interesting
conference with distinguished
speakers," said Dean Katherine
Brown.
The conference this year is co-
sponsored by the American
Assembly of Columbia University.

Oxfam wins Rice OK
for meal skip plan
Rice's chapter of Oxfam
America, a famine relief
organization, has won admini-
stration approval for its plan to
collect money from college meal
skips.
The group will soon enlist at
least 60 percent of residents at
Brown, Baker, Jones, Will Rice,
and Hanszen Colleges to
participate in dinner skips on the
first Tuesday of each month,
President Ralph Evans said.
University money saved by the
skips will be donated to Oxifam.
"This will be a substantial sum,
probably considerably more than
we could raise in any one-shot
fund-raising drive," Evans stated.
Oxfam-America claims that
substantial aid is reaching starving
Cambodian peasants, Evans said.
