ALUMNI ENDOWMENT
FUND EXPECTED TO
REACH $50,000 GOAL
Alumni Directory To Be
Published by the
Association
With only two weeks of campaign-
InK for pledges left, the Endowment
Fund ot the Kite Alunml Association
is practically assured success in
reaching the f!iO,(Hl() goal set tor the
year 1929.
To date there has been ♦•K5.SS5.76
pledged In individual and mlacellnuc'-
ous pledges. The two miscellaneous
contributions were made by members
of two classes. The class of '28 sub-
scribed $113.39 and the class of '29
contributed $907.13.
New pledges to onto amount to
$17,(100. There have been 13S made.
This brines the average for the new
pledges to *12.58 per person. There
are 225 old pledges averaging $15.00.
The average is taken tor one year and
the pledges cover a ten-year period.
The miscellaneous gifts are not in-
cluded in taking the averages.
The reason for the encouragement
felt by those who are campaigning is
that only thirty-two pledges at. $10 per
year each would be necessary to bring
in $3200 and this amount would put
the campaign over the top. Pledges
and contributions are rolling in every
day and it is extremely probable that
the goal will be reached by Christinas.
A tabulated report of 1he finances
for the fund reads as follows:
$29,285.70 old pledges
17,600.00 new pledges
Oberlin Finds That
Grades Are Necessary
According to a recent issue of lite
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Oberlin Col-
lege has re-established its old grading
system which was done away with last
spring at the request of the students
who wanted education rather than
marks,
Last year Oberlin instituted a
i "closed system" of grading, by which
all grades were known only to the
j faculty who merely informed the stu-
| di nts that they were passing or fall-
ing at the cud of the term, Students
STRONG SCHEDULE
IS ANNOUNCED FOR
OWL ELEVEN OF '30
I Thirteen Tilts In Prospect
| As Card Nears Date of
Completion
One of the stlffem and most attrac-
tive schedules ever to be announced
$46,885.78 total to date.
3.200.00 aim for the next
weeks.
$50,086.76 total which exceeds the
goal.
There were more alumni members
present ut the homecoming day than
ever before, but there were only a
hundred present at the business meet-
ing of the association, as compared
with the hundred and twenty five at
the meeting the preceding year.
Each class gave excellent reports
on the Endowment. Fund. There
seemed to be keen competition be-
tween the classes for the highest av-
erage of pledges per member.
A new feature in the association
this year will be the publication of
an alumni directory which will con-
tain the names and present addresses
of all those who have graduated from
Rice Institute. The list will be com-
piled alphabetically and by classes.
A decision was reached at the meet-
ing regarding the size and name of
the alumni publication. It will be
henc^orth called "Rice Alumni News."
This publication Is In the form o£ a
magazine and contains the gist of the
most important and most interesting
news of what is happening at Rice.
An interesting feature of ihe maga-
zine is the column devoted to news
of the alumni, wherever they are at
the time. There will be five issues
published this year. Every -graduate
of Rice will receive a copy of each
issue. Weldon Cabaniss, permanent
secretary of the Alumni Association,
is editor of the "Alumni News."
became dissatisfied with the system,
! however, and asked that, either the
old system he resumed or that grades
I he entirely eliminated, The faculty I
would not. sanction the latter step and
; grades are. again an obvious part of
i the Oberlin curriculum.

WELL RECEIVED BY
HOUSTON AUDIENCE
Burgeois and Miller Star

Production
All audience that tilled the V. W.
C. A. auditorium to capacity received
"Los Femmes Fortes," the production
of l.es Hlboux, with an enthusiasm
that, speaks well for Houston as a
home of lovers or' the Romance lan-
guages. The offering was given
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock.
The play was so filled with that pe-
culiarly French swiftness of action
that a beginner in the language couhl
enjoy the clever plot, and vivlil char-
acterizations. Most, notable of the
excellent performances*of the entire
cast was that of Andre llourgoels In
the part of Quentin.
Never in the course of the three
acts did Mr. Bourgeois forget Ills char-
acter, that of a. typical French father,
who hud become imbued with an en-
thusiasm for American ideals and oms-
toms. Alternately sad and merry,
with the appropriate sudden changes j timate friend of the late William

Second honors for the success of the
production fall to his colleague, L.
Gardner Miller, whose characteriza-
tion of the young Jonathan was su-

his. The aim of Sadtte was for this
young fellow to be carefree, heedless
of the wishes of others; Miller ad-
mirably fitted in with the author's
interpretation.

modest Claire of the play, was per-

Miss Itomero's performance was sus-

this country surprises me. With us,
divorce la very rare, I think perhaps
the situation here Is due partly to the
laxity in divorce laws. It is too easy
to got. a divorce here.
"I approve of more parental super-
vision, of marriage, Young people,
are ruled more by emotion. They
are at a sentimental stage ot devel-
opment. Iloyg and ulrls meet each
other, perhaps know each other only
a few weeks, and are married. Where
the parents think and feel with the
children. I think It would be better
for them to direct the marriages of
their children. This would make a
more stable marriage state. Intel
lectual rather than emotional reasons
should be the basis ot matrimony.
"On the whole, I have only praise
for American students. You are dif-
ferent from us—outspoken where we
are reserved. It. would not be fnlr to
judge you from any other standpoint
than your own."
Director Valerie Reeves was unable
to be present, but hoc place was com-
petently filled by the president, Gene-
vieve White, who conducted the sing-
ing.
Most of the hour was spent In re-
hearsing the Hebraic plain song. "O
Come, O Cottle, Kmanuel," that will be
sung in the pageant to be given Do-
nrmber 19, at. the City Auditorium, by
the City llecrentlon department.
It was decided to Invite several
Rice boys to sing with the club on the
program. The accompaniment will be
rendered by a violin and a flute. There
will probably be an extra rehearsal
on Tuesday night of next week.
A new song was given out to the
girls for practice. This will probably
be Included In the program given by
I he glee club over KPRC In January.
It, Is "Goin' Home" by Anton Dxorak
and Is the central melody of the
"Largo" from his New World Sym-
