CONSTRUCTfVENESS
Hathet quietly, and unubstentatious-
ly the student count-it appears to be
beginning a year's program of con-
structive work. in the past this body
has been too prone toward fitting
itsetf comfortabty in the ruts made
by predecessors. Need for reforms
and innovations has been recognized,
but iittie done toward actuatty insti-
tuting them. Die councit, directly,
has atready acconiptished two highly
important things, [t has undertaken
to t-stabiish a literary magazine, to bo
known as "T))e and it has taken
definite steps toward protection of
freshman athletes, a nteasuiciong
hoped for at Rice, hmaybcttmtboth
of these projects wilt t'aii. At ae-
rate the councit has tried—and its ef-
forts wit! be ap[)reciate<) by the en-
tire student bo()y. The Thresher be-
ticves and hopes that the projects wiit
tie successful.
Ittdirectly, through individual mem-
bers, the council has set other con-
structive baits rolling. President
Hughes wilt endeavor to see that a
literary society is organized <m the
campus, for boys. (,'ouncilman-at-
large Duntay is tryiiff&t" complete the
huge task of organizing and indexing
the various bills and by-measures of
the student council, wit!) a view to-
ward incorporating necessary laws in
the constitution.
The Thresher beiieves that true
progressive spirit is the chief virtue
of any student council such as ours,
and commends the appearance of it in
the 1922-23 organization.
The 1022-23 Campanile is begin-
ning its work under a handicap. No
less than two sets of managers have
resigned since the May elections. The
new management is far behind its
<ndinary schedule, and it needs the co-
operation of the entire student body
if the year-book is to have its usual
success. One manner in which stu-
dents may co-operate immediately is
preparation of the photograph sec-
tions. Dates have been arranged for
all classes, and freshmen are supposed
to be getting their pictures made
XOW. Upperclassmen should join in
when their time comes.

A letter to the editor may be pub-
lished in jchis issue bearing on ob-
servance of football training rules.
No editorial comment is needed on this
question. H it were called (or, it
would be along the same lines fol-
lowed by the author of this letter, a
former football man. Observance of
aaining rules is a matter of honor,
and honor is a prerequisite of the
Rice gridiron fighter.

GOS8 IS BETTER.
Frank Goss, who was taken to the
Baptist Sanitarium yesterday noon
following an unexpected nervous
breakdown, is reported to be resting
better this afternoon. The attack
vhich prostrated this popular member
of the institute community is still a
mystery. Goss was clearing off the
faculty table, on which he is a waiter,
A-hen he suddenly startled the other
waiters by faliing to the door deler-
ous, holding up three Angers and
shouting, "Three of 'em, three of 'em,
1 can't understand it! I can't believe
it! Oh teil me it isn't so." This at-
tack came on immediately after Doctor
Altenburg, of the Biology department,
arose and left the tabte, leaving three
members of the faculty still eating.

POST EDITION
in issuing the "Wiiliam M.Rice in-
stitute Anniversary Edition," The
Houston Post proved that it, too, has
thought enough about Rice to in-
vestigate. and to prepare a series of
highly interesting articles touching
on various phases of the institute's
growth and present status.
The edition proper contains a page
'f artistically colored prints showing
some of the principal Rice scenes. The
interior is devoted to President
l.ovett's matriculation address; to in-
teresting messages from Dr. Lovett
and from Dr. Stockton Axson, pro-
fessor of English; and to articles on
thehistory and attainments of the in-
stitute. on methods of self-support
used by Rice students, and on the
Autry House, "the fireside of Rice."
There is likewise a readable little
-eature on Rice student life as seen
by the street car conductor, in eleven
years of service.
MEETING OF THE
WOMAN'S COUNCIL
The resignation of Miss Ellen
Farrar elected last year as one of the
Senior representatives of the Women's
Councit was read and accepted Wed-
nesday. As is the custom of the Coun-
cil two new members were added to its
cabinet: Miss Mary Shacklett, meni-
ber-at-large and Miss Frances illums,
Freshman representative.
To the Editor:
There have been many comments,
both at home and abroad, about Rice
athletes who do not train and the
writer is inclined to believe tlu^ at
least a part of them are true.
If the members of the football team
will really train their work can be cut
in half leaving them that much more
reserve strength for the games, and
you are the ones who can make them
train. Hard work in this warm climate
draws heavily on a man's reserve
but as long as the athletes dissipate—
and dissipation for an athlete is not
dissipation for a debutante—they
must be over worked to get it out of
their system.
Of course, cigarettes, pasteries. and
strong drinks are out of the question.
When you catch a football man smok-
ing a cigarette you will stop him and
if you catch him again you will hunt
up your gang and throw him in the
Bayou; but these are not the things
that cause the difficulty, because if
a player is not man enough to stop
smoking or drinking he hasn't "guts"
enough to be of any value on the field.
The things that have kept the Rice
athletes out of condition in past years
have been ice-cream between meals;
a big dinner, maybe two of them, with
all the sauces, jellies, and deserts
that go with it, during the week-end
after the game; and going to dances
after the games and using up what
little strength his opponents of the
afternoon have left him. He argues
that, if he doesn't break training, he
wilt "go stale" and that he has a
whole week in which to get back in
condition, but he is arguing for what
he wants and ntft for what he thinks
is best for him. The idea of "going
state" in a short football season is
absurd and when he needs to break
training the coaches will tell him.
Over eating, eating rich foods,
dancing, and over excitement, are the
things that brings- him out of the
game exhausted at the three quarter
whistie and give the visitors the
chance to make the winning touch-
down over the substitute who has
taken his place. If you will show
these men that you expect them to

"Have you ever studied too much?"
"No, who teaches it?"
It's not the hose, tho rolled they be,
That one they take a hold upon.
It's not the hose, nor dimpled knee,
It's what the hose are rolled upon.

Gold: "Isn't there some change in
you?"
Dust: "How can you tell? I swal-
lowed two nickels and a dime, last
night."
Percy: "My room-mate tells me that
I talk in my sleep. What shall I do
about it?"
Fred: "That's alright. You're not
married."
Percy: "Worse than that! We both
have the same girl!"
Fools throw kisses, but wise men
deliver them in person.

Nothing On.
Ed: "What are you going to do
this evening?"
Co-ed (eagerly): "Nothing at ail."
Ed: "My what a waste of time!"
take care of themselves to the fullest
extent and make it very plain to
them that you hold them in contempt
when they do not, you will see a vet#
different team on the field this year,
a team with pienty of pep, and fight,
and endurance enough to tast a whole
game.
The training rules as laid down by
Coach Arbuckle are: i. No tobacco
it) any form. 2. No pastries or grease.
!i. No strong drinks. 4. No carbon-
ated water. 5. No eating between
meals. (!. No. dancing. 7. In bed at
11:00 o'clock every night. 8. Very
few dates and then only on week-ends.
Remember these and enforce them.

Is entirely different from similar suits carried by the aver-

duplicate of the original style as made in the East.
We have been making a specialty of this soft, easy fitting,
straight hanging coat for several seasons and last year an-
