Of Candidates
An all-school political rally will
be held Friday at 12:15 in the
Physics Amphitheater so that can-
didates for election in the 11th may
present their qualifications and their
platforms to the students.
This program, like the ones last
year, is sponsored by the Forum
Committee. Each candidate will be
given three minutes to explain his or
her position.
Last week the Honor Council,
voted to allow candidates for Honor
Council to speak at the forums.'This
will be the first time that this has
been done as in the past this has
been construed as political cam-
paigning. Honor Council candidates
are still prohibited from posting
signs and posters on the campus.
Candidates for all the elections
will speak at the program Friday
as the Forum Committee thought it
inadvisable to have separate pro-
grams for separate class election^
as there are so few positions to
bc^fjlled. Only one all-school position
is to be filled, that of Council-Man-
at-large.
See sample ballot on this page for
list of candidates.
As has been the custom of the
Forum programs a question and
answer period will follow the speech-
es to allow students to quiz their
candidates on specific issues.

Freshmen Girls
The Varsity Room of the College
Inn opened its doors Sunday after-
noon at three for entertainment of
the freshmean girls by the Owen
Wister Literary Society. Besides the
honorees, many physical education
.majors, graduates, and other guests

tween 300 and 400.
A jaul jones-multiplication dance
opened the affair, and a modified
version of the slime shoe parade for
partners combines to get everyone
acquainted. After that the freshman
girls came out of their shells and
lost themeselves in an evening of
dancing, eating, and entertainment.

Clarke and Jeanne Reafio, sang
"Fly Birdie, Fly" and other num-
bers to the accompaniment of Kath-
erine's guitar. Buffet style supper
was served, consisting of| sand-
wiches, potato salad, cokes, and
home-made cakes.
Dancing was resumed following
supper, lasting until seven.

Apartments House
20 Faculty Members
Twenty faculty members and
families couldn!t be assured of bet-
ter living conditions this school
year. They are the ones who live in
the new apartment house Rice In-
stitute bought this summer.
The dwelling unit, which occupies
the whole south side of the 1100
block of Banks, will be occupied on-
ly by married faculty members, J.
T. McCants, bursar said. "Bachelor
members will still live in Faculty
Towers."
Rice Institute also owns several
other buildings which are rented to
faculty members, but the unit on
Banks is by far the largest.
There are four one bedroom apart-
ments and 16 two bedroom units.
Each division has, in addition, a
living room, dining room, kitchen
and bath. They are rented unfurn-
ished, Mr. McCants said, but each
apartment is equipped with a re-
frigerator, range and a window fan.
In the rear of the large building,
adjoining the 20 car garage is the
washhouse where four automatic
washing machines and a drier are
placed for the use of the faculty
wives.
