A spicy program of college music
i and college dramatics has been ar-
! ranged by the Rally Club, l.ee's Owls,
; the Glee Club, the Owl Band, the
j Dramatic Club and others will t'ea-
I ture in the bill. A big dance with
I Lee's Owls officiating will follow the
show.
It is the first affair of its kind in
the history of the Institute. It is to Vie
a permanent event, to be staged an-
nually by the Rally Club. The idea is
to bring to Houston folk a college
spirit with a punch and to set Hous-
ton and Riee students at work in a
common undertaking.
The Association of Rice Alumni is
sponsoring Rice Night, and a scholar-
ship is forthcoming out of the pro-
ceedg.
Plans are already being laid by the
Rally Club for next year's Rice Night,
which will probably be staged sunn-
time in the fall instead of in the
spring. It will be event No. 2 of its
kind. Those in charge plan to make ii
a highly elaborate and and spicy af-
fair.
