Campos enforce city statute
Fans' dancing forces band's Pub eviction
by Robert Morrison
Campus police evicted the new
wave band, The Haskells, from
Willy's Pub a week ago
Wednesday at midnight, in order
to stop a group of people from
dancing in violation of a city law
which forbids dancing in
establishments that do not have a
cabaret license.
The Haskells began playing
around 10 p.m., and dancing
immediately began in the very
crowded Hub, directly in front ol
the stage and in the open area
adjacent to the bar. According to
RMC Night Manager Stan
Barber, most of the 15 to 25 people
dancing were non-Rice "groupies"
of the band.
Initial efforts by Head
Bartender Liz Richter to suppress
the dancing were ignored, and
subsequent efforts by Barber also
proved futile. Barber and Richter
then called the campus police to
assist in the enforcement of the no-
dancing rules, but their warnings
were similarly disregarded.
Finally, police instructed the band
to quit playing if the dancing
continued and The Haskells
complied, finishing their show an
hour earlier than scheduled, at
midnight. The Haskells received
full payment for their perfor-
mance.
Pub Manager Jimmy Giradeau
explained, "Usually people
stop dancing when we tell them,
and if they don't we throw them
out. This time there were too
many." Giradeau noted that
dancing at the Pub is not usually a
problem and that the Haskells
performed at the bar last year
without incident. Earlier this year,
one band was asked to leave the
Pub due to rowdiness.
Rice Program Council Pub
Entertainment Director Tom
Snook said that he was aware of
the rule, but booked the band
anyway because they caused no
problems last year. Snook added
that he has one more new wave
band booked to play the Pub later
in the semester, but expects no
trouble and that, in the future,
"The dancing law will definitely
influence my decisions."
The Pub Control Board has
never chosen to obtain the $250 per
year cabaret license, which would
make dancing legal in the Pub.
Said Giradeau, a member of the
board, "We really don't have a set
place for people to dance, and it
would change the atmosphere."
Giradeau also feels that there
would not be enough dancing in
the Pub to make the $250 dollar
expenditure worthwhile.

We don't fly into the earth, but we do
explore it.
Just as the crew aboard a shuttle orbiter
combines the latest technology and engi-
neering training to explore space, a
Schlumberger engineer uses the latest
technology to evaluate subsurface forma-
tions. Special devices are lowered into
wells drilled miles into the earth's crust.
These earth probes operate under extreme
environmental conditions to provide
answers to the petroleum industry. Shuttle
Orbiter? No. We use a half million dollar
computerized mobile laboratory.

Louis Macey
Macey
speaks
by Ten Perhamus
"Houston is a big city and the
city needs a capable businessman
to manage its affairs," argued
Houston mayoral candidate Louis
Macey in an address to the Rice
Republicans last Thursday.
Macey, a 1959 Rice graduate,
claims his business successes
qualify him for the mayor's
position.
Macey, who feels that police
protections should be a major issue
in this year's campaign, has
already gone on record saying that
if elected, he will fire Police Chief
B.K. Johnson. The candidate
advocates a four point program for
increased police protection. The
number of police officers on duty
during peak crime hours (10 p.m.
to 2 a.m.) would be increased.
Macey then intends transfer
police officers in clerical positions
to active positions and fill their
current positions with civilians.
Next, Macey would create a "para-
police force" composed of police
officers who lack one qualifica-
tion, physical capability. The
"para-police" force would do
investigative work, freeing
physically able officers for active
street duty. Lastly, Macey's four-
point program calls for the
creation of a board to oversee the
police department.
Macey also expressed concern
that Houston voters do not have
an accurate picture of his
opponents. "The voters think
Kathy Whitmire has done an
excellent job as city controller,"
explained Macey, but he believes
that Whitmire's success is based on
a false perception of her
capabilities. He also added that
support for Sheriff Jack Heard is
due to his badge, and that Heard
has not solved criminal problems
in Harris County.
The next meeting of the Rice
Republicans will be Thursday,
October 22, at 7 p.m. in Sewall 301.
