ONE OF THESE areas,
Clarke said, is that of stu-
dent rights which, especially with
respect to judicial matters, needs
to be formulated soon and pre-
sented to the administration.
This matter is pending the elec-
tion of the college presidents,
who will comprise part of the
Student Rights Committee.
Another area which requires
quick action, Clarke continued,
involves student participation in
the University's semi-centennial.
A committee of students has
been planned which will consist
of representatives of each col-
lege, probably the presidents.
THIS MATTER IS also pend-
Lassitez, Greene Win
Anne Lassiter was elected
Junior Class Vice-President in
the Monday run-off against
Anne d'Olier. The tally was 71
votes to 47.
In other election news, the
outcome of one of last week's
races was changed by the dis-
covery of a pile of write-in
votes which had not been
counted when the un-official
results were announced in the
March 16 Thresher.
In this race, Julian Greene
defeated Stephen Paine for the
fourth position as Senior re-
presentative to the Honor Coun-
cil. The unofficial results had
shown a tie, but the official
count gave Greene 127 votes
and Paine 124.
. Complete and official results
in the March 16 election are
given on page 8.
Rice, Cambridge
Will Participate In
Exchange Program
By JIM DOYLE
Dr. W. H. Masterson, Dean of
Humanities, has announced an
academic exchange program be-
tween Rice and Trinity College
of Cambridge University in
England, which will allow one
Rice student to study at Cam-
bridge and one Cambridge stu-
dent to study at Rice for the
coming academic year.
The program, sponsored by the
Abraham Student Aid Founda-
tion in conjunction with the In-
stitute of International Educa-
tion, prompted the Trinity Fac-
ulty to reserve a room for an
unspecified student of another
university for the first time in
their history. The Trinity faculty
has traditionally imposed strin-
gent restrictions on room allot-
ments.
FINANCIAL arrangements for
the program include Foundation
payment of tuition, transporta-
tion, lab fees, and lodging for the
Rice student, who will be select-
ed by a Rice faculty committee.

A special election has been
scheduled for Monday, March
26. On the ballot will be races
for class B graduate officers
and a proposal to allow pub-
lication of a semi-weekly
Thresher.
POLITICALLY FAR APART
Forum Offers Hayek, Thomas
For Coming Week's Programs
By SHIRLEY JONES
Two speakers of widely dif-
ferent political persuasions will
appear under the auspices of the
Forum Committee next week.
On Monday, March 26, Dr.
Friedrich von Hayek, author of
"The Road to Serfdom," will
speak on "Freedom Under the
Law." The following evening, the
well-known socialist, Norman
Thomas, will speak on "The
DR. FRIEDRICH VON HAYEK
Speaks Monday
Principle Prerequisites for Peace."
DR. HAYEK was born in
Austria on May 8, 1899. In 1921
he earned his doctorate in law,
and two years later he earned a
doctorate "in economics. After
working a few years as a legal
consultant for the government
and as a lecturer in economics
for his alma mater, the Univer-
sity of Vienna, he was called to
the University of London.
In 1950 he moved to his pres-
ent position at the University of
Chicago.
Professor Hayek's interests
have gradually shifted from pure
economic theory to problems of
social order. He has • published
books on social philosophy, in-
tellectual history, scientific
method, jurisprudence, and phy-
siological psychology.
Professor Hayek will speak in
Hamman Hall at 8:00 on Monday
evening; Tuesday Mr. Thomas
will speak at 8:00 in the Grand
Hall of the Memorial Center.
MR. THOMAS WAS born in
Marion, Ohio, on November 20,
1884. After having finished his
undergraduate studies at Prince-
ton he worked on his doctorate at i
the Union Theological Seminary. ]
In 1911 he was ordained for the
ministry, but twenty years later
he demitted this office.
' Mr. Thomas has written more
than a dozen books, has served in
organizations such as the League
for Industrial Democracy, and has
been a candidate on the Socialist
ticket for the governorship of
New York, the mayoralty of New
York City, and six times for the
presidency of the United States.
NORMAN THOMAS
Speaks Tuesday
Political Tradition Lecture Series
Resumes With Darthmouth's Morton
By GARY HANOVICH
The lecture series on The
American Political Tradition:
Theory and Practice will resume
Monday March 26 with Professor
Louis Morton of Dartmouth Col-
lege as guest speaker.
Dr. Morton will speak on
American civil-military relations,
a field in which he is a noted
expert. He was formerly Deputy
Chief of the Office of Military
Historian of the United States
War Department.
ON MARCH 29, Ernest R.
May of Harvard University will
lecture on the subject of Amer-
ican foreign policy. Dr. May is
the author of many definitive
works on the diplomatic history
of the United States such - as
"The World War and American
Isolation" and "Imperial Amer-
ica."
Dr. Malcolm C. Moos, Profes-
sor of Government at Johns Hop-
kins University, will discuss
American political parties on
Tuesday, April 3. Professor Moos
is the author of a history of the
Republican Party and was chief
speechwriter of former Presi-
dent Eisenhower. He is now an
advisor to Governor jtfeison Rock-
erfeller of New York.
APRIL 12 IS the tentative
date of the lecture on the
Supreme Court to be given by
Alpheus T. Mason, Professor of
Politics at Princeton University.
Dr. Mason has written bio-
graphies of several Supreme
Court justices and is the author
of numerous works on the Court
itself.
The series will close tentatively
on May 10 with Hans J. Morgan-
thau, Professor of History and
Political Science at the University
of Chicago. Dr. Morganthau who
will speak on the American
political legacy, has been visit-
ing professor at Columbia, Har-
vard, and Yale, and is the author
of many books on the field of
(Continued on Page 4)
ing the election of college offi-
cers. It is important that the
students be included in the ac-
tivities and that they be able to
plan their own, activities without
fear of conflicting with those of
of the semi-centennial.
One further subject of interest
to Clarke is the question of rais-
ing the college dues from $4 to
$10. This matter is of immediate
concern because the University
is currently planning its budget
for next year.
KATHLEEN MUCH, next
year's Campanile editor, men-
tioned several means for improv-
ing the yearbook for the school's
semi-centennial year. These im-
provements primarily concern ex-
pansion and better organization
of certain of the Campanile's
sections, she said.
The opening picture section,
Miss Much continued, will be de-
voted to the semi-centennial, in-
cluding pictures and acounts of
all the principal events. She men-
tioned as a possibility the in-
clusion of several pictures from
Rice's past.
Two other sections scheduled
for improvement are the Sally-
port and College sections. The.
former will show events on a
month-to-month basis rather
than as ^ hodge-podge of pic-
tures. The latter will include the
colleges' activities and, to insure
accuracy, will be edited by a
group consisting of members of
each college in charge of their
own college's section.
GRIFFIN SMITH, editor of
next year's Thresher, said that
next year plans depend largely on
whether or not the referendum
on Monday, March 26, passes.
This referendum asks for a $'2
blanket tax increase to cover the
costs of printing two issues of
The Thresher per week.
Smith explained that the
Thresher has the staff to pub-
lish two issues a week and that

Rice NROTC Now
Allowed To Purchase
Rings As Seniors
Recent action by the Permanent
Ring Committee will permit Rice
Navy ROTC seniors enrolled in
five-year B.S. programs to pur-
chase their senior rings along
with other member of their class.
Dean of Student Activities, S.
W. Higginbotham presided over
the meeting on Thursday, March
15, at which the action was taken.
UNDER PREVIOUS Rice re-
gulations, these seniors had not
been entitled to purchase their
rings during their fourth year
because their B.A. degrees were
not conferred at the end of the
year.
Navy ROTC regulations require
that the naval commission be
accepted with the bachelor's de-
gree, so BA degrees are with-
held and awarded along with the
BS degree at the end of five
years.
Regulations conceiving pos-
session of rings will be sub-
stantially the same for the Navy
ROTC students as for other sen-
iors. -•—
