Honor Council
statement
Susan Sheridan
I am a Jones College junior and I am running for
Junior Honor Council Representative. I believe
strongly in the principles behind the Honor System
and will do my best to see that they are upheld and
understood. We at Rice are fortunate to have such a
system and must be careful not to take it for granted.
Thank you for your time and don't forget to vote.

An exchange program exists between
Rice and Swarthmore College for qualified
students in the fall semester of their
sophomore, junior, or senior year.
Swarthmore is a non-denominational
college in eastern Pennsylvania in a
residential suburb of Philadelphia. It was
founded in the 1860's by the Religious
Society of Friends, and has had a
distinguished history. Its academic
standards are similar to those at Rice, and its
enrollment of about 1300 is more or less
evenly divided between men and women.
Seven students from Swarthmore are
spending the current semester at Rice. They
are: Kellie Broscious, Lovett; Jeff
Gutkowski, Richardson; Kai Gutchow,
Jones; Becky Kaufman, Wiess; Eng Meng
Tan, Baker; John Kerester and Steven
Lipchin, Graduate House.
Interested students should consult the
Swarthmore College Bulletin in the Office of
the Vice-President for Undergraduate
Affairs for information concerning courses
offered and special honors programs.

exchange for the fall semester of 198S should
include a brief autobiography describing
schooling and experience to the present,
reasons for applying, and a proposed course
of study. The student's application must be
accompanied by a recommendation from his
or her major department, or college master
in the case of freshmen and sophomores, and
by a supporting letter from another member
of the faculty. Forms for these letters are
available in the office of the Vice-President
for Undergraduate Affairs, 101 Lovett Hall.
Prior approval of transfer credit for each
course should be requested from the
registrar. Courses to be taken at
Swarthmore that will apply to the student's
major must also be approved by the relevant
department.
The exchange operates on a one-for-one
basis, with each student continuing to pay all
charges and fees to his or her home school.
During the semester at Swarthmore, each
Rice student will retain all financial aid for
which he or she may be eligible. Rice
students will be expected to reside in
Swarthmore housing and subscribe to the
meal plan; there will be no monetary refund
to students who live off campus.
All applications and their supporting
letters should be turned in to the office of the
Vice-President for Undergraduate Affairs
no later that Friday, January 18, 1985.
Students accepted into the program for the
fall semester of 1985 will be notified in
March or April of 1985.
THRESHING IT OUT
continued from page 3
Rice/Tech game. One photographer (who
was from Tech) turned to the other (who was
from Rice) and said, "Class act you've got
there in your student section." He obviously
was not impressed, and the other
photographer (from Rice) did not try to
defend the student body. Way to go, guys.
I am in the MOB and for the past two
seasons (at least), we've had to listen to the
student section boo, hassle, and generally
disrupt the other band's halftime
performance. The MOB appreciates the
response to our halftime shows, but the
students' treatment of the other bands is
excessively ugly and uncalled for. It is
particulary embarrassing to the MOB to
have to explain to the other bands (and the
MOB enjoys hosting the other bands) why
our student section is so rude to the bands
and teams. Your fun is going to end, folks,
because the bands will start writing their
show to the pressbox side, if (and that's a big
if) they bring their bands at all.

Moore reiterates alumni
stand on South African trip
To the editor:
The issue of the Association of Rice
Alumni's trip to the Republic of South
Africa was discussed extensively last year,
and the response to the criticism of the trip
was accurately answered by then President
of the Alumni Association, Joseph F. Reilly,
Jr. in his letter to the Thresher dated March
12, 1984. His response encompassed the
position of the Board of the Association of
Rice Alumni, which is still its position.
Let me reemphasize this year, as Joe
Reilly points out, that we do not' represent
ourselves as "Rice University." The
sponsoring of this trip in no way expresses
our approval or disapproval of actions
taken, or not taken, by the South African
authorities. Our trips are offered as a means
of learning and understanding in both
directions. We will continue our effort to
provide our alumni with opportunities to
learn by travel to all areas of the world
because it is now more important than ever
that we keep learning in order to make our
own judgments. A Rice graduate should be
as well-equipped as anyone to examine any
circumstance, however politically sensitive,
to reach his own contusions.
Harvin C. Moore, Jr.
President, the Association of Rice Alumni
