the snapshot section. A larger Sal-
lyport section than usual is being
planned this year and the staff
needs those pictures now.
Girls who had their pictures made
by Gregg Studio and charged their
studio fee are urged to pay their
debts before February- 24 so that
this section can be completed. A
check of accounts reveals that at
least 14 girls have forgotten this
debt.
With 144 pages or organizations,
classes, sports, and views being
readied for the printer, the Cam-
panile is progressing on time. With
the continued support of students
and staff members the book should
be ready for distribution on time
this year.

also were informed that many of
the residents in the stadium vicinity
seriously object to Sunday football
games. Another reason behind the
trustees' action is the fact, so far
as could be learned, no college stad-
ium is used by professional teams.
These reasons were behind the de-
cision of the board when they asked
Mr. McCarthy to withdraw his bid
for the use of the stadium.

Basketball Team
To Play TCU
At Fort Worth
Tomorrow night, the Rice Owl
basketball team returns to the Con-
ference wars with a game at Ft.
Worth with the sophomore-laden
TCU Horned Frogs. Rice is cur-
rently residing in the cellar, while
the Frogs are in second place. Rice
defeated the Frogs for their only
Conference win early in the season.
The Owls have since dropped five
Conference games. The Frogs, after
losing their first two (the other to
the Aggies), have won three in a
row.
Rice's Joe McDermott risks his
scoring lead in the battle, having
tallied 96 points in the six Con-
ference scraps. TCU features the
pivot work of George McLeod, a
sophomore, who has hit 77 in his
first five Conference battles.
Rounding out the Frog quint are
sophomores Harvey Fromme, who
has been hitting well of late, Rey-
nolds, Taylor, ,and senior Gene
Schmidt. Schmidt is one of two vet-
erans on the squad, the other being
reserve Bruce Craig, another senior.
Rice will probably start Charley
Tighe, J.D. White, McDermott, War-
ren Switzer, and Jim Gerhardt, with
Ralph Grawunder, Hudgens, and
Childs due to see action.

Labor Wants Security First,
Says AFL Speaker To MSF
by Don Eddy
Troy D. Slaughter, the President
of the Houston Labor and Trades
Council of the American Federation
of Labor spoke at the Methodist
Student Fellowship Wednesday noon
on the subject, "Labor Seeks Secur-
ity."
Mr. Slaughter began by remark-
ing that a few tyears ago such an
open, frank discussion of the im-
portance of labor was impossible.
He said, "I came today not to
praise labor or to bury it, but to dis-
cuss its development, which is the
same as that of democracy." He
gave a brief account of the fight
of trade unions to organize and
raise the wage-earner's standard of
living. He pointed out that a few
decades ago economists predicted
the end of the world if a twelve-
hour work day were secured.
He asserted that it is not true
that "He who travels alone travels
fastest." He said that labor has
had a hard struggle to secure the
economic advantages that it has.
Mr. Slaughter listed as advan-
tages that trade unions have obtain-
ed, such things as free text-books
in education. In politics, he claimed
that the unions have helped secure
arbitration in international affairs,
the Australian ballot in elections,
and the referendum and roll call
in legislative affairs. For its own
members, the unions have secured

such things as old age and survivor
insurance, orphanages, and old folks
homes.
"But," Mr. Slaughter stated,
"What we would like to have for
our members we would like to have
for all. The union man is not the
only one who benefits. The union's
fight is every man's fight*"
