6 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1. 1991 THE RICE THRESHER
New entrepreneur club plays exchange
by Jonathan Briggs
Future businessmen and women
now have an outlet for learning and
experimenting with tools of the
business trade: the Entrepreneurs
and Investors Club, formed last
spring.
The 20 to 25 member club was
organized to provide a forum for
discussion and learning for people
who are investment motivated.
"In our years here as economics
majors at Rice, it came to us that
people like us needed practical ap-
plications to enhance our education,"
said Baker junior Vineet Jain, presi-
dent of the club.
The founding members had little
trouble in finding faculty advisors for
the club. Jones school faculty
members Ed Williams and David
Ikenberry helped Jain get his project
off the ground.
According to Baker sophomore
M ic hael Phillips, director of the club's
lecture series, the club has three
main areas in which the students
bccome involved: the lecture series,
the investment branch and the en-
trepreneurship branch.
The lecture series is an educa-
tional tool which the club uses to
learn practical applications of busi-
ness knowledge.
Speakers from the business world
and community leaders speak to the
group not only about the business
world, but also about how their jobs
fit into the grand scheme of daily
operations.
The club recently hosted Anne
Mannix, director of the Hallen Cor-
poration, which deals in wine and

champagne accessories. "We try to
get different aspects of [marketing
and investment]. The lecture series
is the most developed of our pro-
grams," said Phillips.
In the investment branch of the
club, the group is playing the AT&T
Challenge, organized by Wall Street
Games and under the direction for
the club by Baker sophomore John
Ajay.
Prizes are awarded to the group
with the most growth in their fake
investment portfolio.
"We're presently in the top 150
out of 1000," Phillips said.
In the entrepreneurship area,
things are still developing for the club.
This branch guides students who
have new business ideas but are not
exactly sure how to get started.
"In the entrepreneurship area, we
want to take ideas and aft with them.
That's what this club is all about,"
said Jain. The group mil soon pub-
lish its first newsletter.
"There is also a Jones Graduate
School Entrepreneurship club and
there's some interaction with them.
We're becoming more linked be-
cause neither of our clubs is very
large," Phillips said.
"We initially wanted to settle down
and form a base," said Vice-Presi-
dent Vikram Khanna. "We have dis-
cussions about economic matters,
and get different perspectives."
The club meets every Tuesday at
4:00 p.m. in the Kyle Morrow Room
of Fondren Library. "We're the only
club that offers anything like
this,"said Phillips. "We talk about
movements and forces in the busi-
ness world and provide a forum for
students who are interested in entre-
preneurship and investing."
