Mr. Hester, who recentiy visited
Rice, and who was in Europe study-
ing the situation stated that the con-
ditions over there today threaten to
menace society; that research work
is at a stand-stiii, that scboots and
eoitcges me having to dose on ac-
count of the shortage of funds, and
that students and professors are ex-
periencing great hardships, almost un-
inmginabie to us on account of the
depreciation of thccunency Ofthe
