THRESHING-IT-OUT
Rhodes clarifies
jurisdictions
To the editor.
In the September 25 issue of the
Thresher, an article appears
regarding an incident with loud
music at a Wiess-Sid Richardson
party.
There is one statement in the
article which tends to give a false
impression regarding the Houston
Police Department's jurisdiction.
The agencies representing these
jurisdictions have worked with the
campus police in the past
regarding problems concerning
members of our community and
offenses occurring on campus.
This is known as "professional
courtesy". We are not and will
never be a sanctuary or haven.
The campus police have worked
long and hard to develop a style of
law enforcement which is not like
any other in order to accommo-
date the special needs of the
campus; however, at no time do we
intend to ignore or condone any
violations of Rice University
regulations, city of Houston
ordinances, state or federal law,
and we will support these agencies
to the fullest.
Your cooperation would be
appreciated in clarifying this
matter with those in the
community who might misunder-
stand and resist the authority of
other police agencies.

Wiedeman mocks
Wiess decision
To the editor,
In defense of the college justice
system: "burn the #£%«&*$•*/ in
effigy!
"No, burn him."
Other anatomically impossible
suggestions followed. Fortunately,
cooler heads prevailed (though not
without difficulty) and suggestions
of mob rule were nipped in the
bud.
An orator's voice broke through
the shuffling stillness. Quoth he:
"Let us consider the very nature
of the college justice svstem. Its
composition is an analog of the
English justice system and since
the college system is derived from
the English university's, it is
apropos that its ruling be done in
an English fashion." (shouts of
long live the king arose). Is it not
true that the five member court, its
protection of the secrecy of witnes-
ses, and its summary justice
represent the Star Court?"
"What's the Star Court?," asked
Wonder Warthog™.
With a grimace, our hero did
thus spake:
"The Star Court was setup in the
early 16th century to deal with
cases of treason. As I was saying,
the master of the college in his
capacity to mete our both justice
and sentence is analogous to the
English king, Henry VIII. Since we
have firmly established the nature
of the system, it is only fair that the

Gasifying coal that lies in seams so deep and
slanted, conventional techniques can't get it out

Because today, the bottom line in energy
exploration means we have to search in strange,

find natural gas and crude oil, but to discover
energy alternatives such as the liquefication and
gasification of coal, oil shale, and tar sands.

entire process should be carried
out to its logical extreme. Senten-
cing should also be done in the 16th
century manner. Therefore it is
resolved that the Wiess Three
should be hung, drawn and
quartered in the Wiess commons at
the 12th stroke of noon and may
God have mercy upon their souls."
A stunned hush fell over the
crowd. A hubbub arose as the mob
did some summary dangling of
their own.
"...If you believe this lie to be
true, Ask the Blindman he saw it
too."
