Foss, Nicholson win Honor Council seats...

Before receiving those
assurances, some Senate members
suggested that Proctor E.C. Holt
be asked to withhold Mont-
gomery's diploma until the
University Court could be
convened next fall.
Check was summoned halfway
into the meeting after Senator and
former University Court member
Ken Klein expressed doubts that
the body could mobilize quickly.
Senators did not discuss the case in
Check's presence, and he left the
meeting immediately after
delivering his assessment.
(Klein also noted at one point
that the University Court has "no
rules of evidence — you can be
convicted on hearsay, rumor,
whatever.")
The alternative to University
Court action — unilateral action
by the Proctor — was not favored
by senators who felt, as did Jay
Oliphant, that the case should stay
"in student hands."
Montgomery came under
severe criticism by SA Senate
members for his action. Declared
WRC's Cober, "He admitted to
willful fraud of $650...if anyone
had done this outside [of Rice] he'd
be in jail."
Montgomery defended his
motives for the action, claiming
that Films, Inc., had broken an
agreement with the RPC earlier in
the year. According to
Montgomery, Films, Inc., had
agreed to allow the RPC to have a
$400 film rental credit instead
ofhaving to pay $400 for a film that
was previewed, but never shown
publicly, as part of the RPC's
unsuccessful film series.
However, SA President Tim
Stout said he had been told by
Student activities Director
Heliums that the agreement
broke when the RPC "backed out"
by ending the series prematurely.
"That's a lie," responded
Montgomery.
The Senate also voted 18-4 to
ask Heliums to "take whatever
action necessary to have
Montgomery repay the RPC $20
which he "misappropriated."
Montgomery had violated
University regulations in giving a
student a $20 RPC check — even
after RPC Treasurer Behrens had
refused to co-sign the check — for
drawing two posters on short
notice.
According to Froehlich,
university rules prohibit the RPC
from paying student workers for
services unless such payment
is approved in advance by the
Comptroller's Office.
Admitted Montgomery, "I
broke the law to do something that
I thought was right..., but legally
I'm wrong, so legally I must pay."
Montgomery noted that he had
had to resort to the $20 payment
because the regular poster-maker
had failed to do the work.
In other action, the SA accepted
three nominations for fifth-year
Honor Council members, and
voted in Norby Foss and Charles
Nicholson to the two positions
over Michael Lawrence. The
unofficial results will be up for
approval at 'a "mandatory study
break" next week, Stout said.
Also up for approval will be a
second owl mascot election. The
first election last week was
invalidated because two
nominees' names were left off
the ballot.
Honor Council constitutional
changes, up for voter approval last
week, were all approved by the
Senate, as was a preliminary
budget proposal for next year.

in. The Baker participants,
perched on the three-story roof of
their college, claim they heard the
warning, "Campos!" and were
suddenly joined by a Houston
Police officer. They said the officer
then lined them up against the
wall, put a flashlight to their faces,
and asked for identification. Only
two of them were carrying ID's.
The students say they were
escorted down the stairs and
frisked. Two bottle rockets were
confiscated.
The officers told the students
that they would probably be taken
to the downtown police
headquarters because they had
violated a city ordinance by
shooting the fireworks within the
city limits.
According to one witness, about
150 Lovetteers viewed the incident
from their college balconies-.
"Most of us were scared that those
people would get busted," said one
witness. "It was really scary."
As it became clear that no
arrests would be made, the tone of
the evening became lighthearted.
Some spectators began to yell
comments such as "Free the Baker
Eight!" and "Throw them in the
Bayou!"
Campus Police Chief Harold
Rholdes complained that his
department is always getting calls
about firecracker popping.
Rhodes said that while such action
is unlawful at Rice, he has no idea
of how to prevent it.

In the aftermath of the drug
search, Dr. Huston called an
extraordinary college meeting,
attended by over 100 students,
after Thursday's dinner. At the
meeting he and Mrs. Huston
defended the surprise search and
criticized what they termed the
university's unclear position on
campus drug use.
Stressing that any students who
use illegal substances do so at their
own risk, the Hustons nevertheless

told college members that they
would press for Goldstone's
probation, rather than the harsher
suspension penalty.
Dr. Huston -came under
criticism from several Hanszen
students who felt that he should
have warned Goldstone to stop
dealing drugs to non-students
before searching Goldstone's
room. Huston agreed that he
would give warnings if a similar
situation arose in the future.
However, continued Huston, "If
I hear of a Hanszen student dealing
drugs to junior high-schoolers, I'll
search the room." Huston said that
the Wiess student whose room was
broken into by two gun-wielding
assailants last semester had been
selling drugs to users under high-
school-age.
The Hustons emphasized to the
Thresher that, although they
disagreed with the penalty exacted
by Holt, they both felt that he had
thought carefully before making
his*"decision.
Said Goldstone of the
suspension, "It'll be very painful."
Holt could not be contacted by
the Thresher for comment.
