Much humorous interest on ihe
campus is aroused this week by the
announcement of the masculine ele-,
merit of the May Fete. Escorts in this
annual pageant are carefully and dis-i
criminotcly chosen by elective vote of
the Women's Council.
Brlggs Manuel, popular senior, and
one of the main attractions in Lee's
Owls, will be the royal consort of
Queen Hazel of the Held dynasty.
The senior duke, Mark Hopkins, will
act as escort to Duchess Elizabeth Lo-
gan. and Ralph Jones, football hero,
will accompany junior Duchess Loula
Bess Johnson.
Malcolm Cummings will be sopho ■
more duke, and perform the honors
for Mary Loueile Houchins. Fred
Lauterback, freshman athlete, will j
escort Duchess Lenior Bowen of that :
class.
Wiley "Rah-rah" George will do the
McNamee part of the program and !
announce the royalty as they enter. '
This years' choice of escorts for the i
fete is made among the best known
men on the campus. Resplendent in
severe white linens, they will furnish,
the artistic balance for the frills of the j
girls.
Plans for the general theme of the 1
May Fete have been decided, but are
being jealously guarded by the Wom-
en's Council so that the surprise
element will furnish more interest.
227 DEGREES TO BE
AWARDED STUDENTS
AT COMMENCEMENT
Diplomas Are Ordered for
Prospective June
Graduates
Rice institute will confer approxi-
mately 227 degrees- this year as against
243 that were given last year. ,
Of this number, there will be 102 B.
A.'s, B. S.'s in Ch. E„ 15; B. S.'s in j
C. E., 8; B. S.'s in E. E„ 13: B. S.'s in
M. E., 8; B. S.'s in Architecture, 3. For j
"the advanced degrees, there will be'
conferred 1 E. E.. 1 M. S., 11 M. A.'s and
5 Ph. D's. One Ph. D. will be given in
Physics, one in Biology, and three in
Mathematics.
The diplomas have been ordered fori
the above, but the fact that they have;
been ordered does not mean that the
degree will be given. Every year there;
are five or six students who fail in the J
June exams and tht* diplomas have to!
go tii waste.
Diplomas are very expensive. The
design used now was originated by the
first graduating class. It was so satis-j
tying that the other classes adopted;
it, and it has become the permanent
^ diploma.,,
PAUL REVERE'S RIDE NOT j
SO, ACCORDING TO MAJOR
Special To The Rice Thresher.
Concord, N. H.—Get out your Ameri-
can history books, boys and girls, and
write in the margins opposite Paul
Reveres ride, "Not so!"
Major Otis G. Hammond, director ol
the New Hampshire Historical society,
is credited with the information that
Paul didn't raise Massachusetts far- i
mers to battle at all, but rather came
right on up into New Hampshire, and
started the first battle of the Revolu-
tion at Portsmouth, before the Battle j
of Lexington had even been thought
of.
Major Hammond contends that the
successful storming of Fort William
and Mary at Portsmouth Harbor by ,
the Granite State Volunteers set
aflame the torch of rebellion in the
colonies. It resulted in the capture of
powder, small arms and cannon.
Candidates for drum major of tin
1931-32 Rice Owl band are urged to re-
I port to Fred Lyon Craig, band tnan-
j ager, as soon as possible, according to
I an announcement this Friday morn-
ing from Briggs Manuel, president.
No previous experience is required
| recording to Manuel's statement, but
i applicants should preferably be over
t six foot tall. It will be necessary for
the candidate to practice constantly
with the band this spring and nest ( ill,
it was pointed out.
It makes no difference what the
I drum major's scholastic standing is at
i Rice; in fact, he does not necessarily
' have to lie a Rice student.
j Craig hopes to be able to place an
80-pieee band on the field next year
i at Rice's football games. Several trip':
j will be made by the baud with the
j Owl team, probably to Norman, Okla.,
: for the game with Oklahoma university,
j to Austin tor the Texas university
■ game, or to Fort Worth for the T. C.
Uj clash. Rico's game with Oklahoma
1 will be one of the season's important
intersections! tills, with neither eleven
due to win by over one touchdown,
arid the winner of the Owl-Longhorn
fray will probably be an even bet tr.
win the Southwest conference crown.
At present, the Owl band is practic-
ing every Monday afternoon and Fri-
day night for the annual Harris County
band contest, scheduled for the first
week of May. The Rice musicians will
play "Raymond," an overture by
Thomas, as the principal selection. Win-
ner of the contest, in Class A, will
receive a large and handsome loving
cup. Entered in Class A, the Rice mu-

Engineers Make Long
Awaited Social Debut
With Spring's Approach
That old gag about what happens to
a young man's fancy in the spring i_-
a well known story This is a different
tale and yet "the flowers that bloom
in the spring tra la" may have some-
thing to do with the case.
It surely is time to take notice when
c,ven seriously minded engineers turn
social, and it's breezed about that such
is the case. 'Tis said that some have1
even gone so far as to answer the
call of "come and trip it as you go"
and have engaged a tutor to assist in
the tapping. We are sure that the
dancing school received these eager as-,
pirants welcomed them as big business ]
during such hard times, and reports
insist that some progress is being made,
telephone numbers will be furnished
those co-eds sending self addressed:
envelopes.

Steps To Abolish Freshman
English Are Contemplated
At University of Minnesota
—By EXCHANGE SICHVK I.-
Minneapolis, Minn.. April 10 Steps ■
to eliminate .ill required Inhman
English courses may be taken by :fit
university in the near future, accord-
ing t" information gleaned >i sleidio
from sources considered absolutely uu-
thoritive.
Heads of the administration have
been considering the alxdition 1 el tin
loijuiivd first year English course for
some time, it was said The high
cost and relative low return for the
investment was given as the major
reason why the move is being con-
sidered.
The two courses involved are re-
quired of all freshman students win
have received b*tbw a certain mark
in the English test, which they take '
before their enrollment in the art' 1
college or other non-technical schools
At the present time 23 instructors 1
are required to teach the beginning !
English courses, with 1.148 students
enrolled in the two freshman English
sequences.
The average salary of instructors if
about $2,100 a year, or an approximate
total of $48,000 per year for instruction
alone in these courses. According ' j
estimates, each student in these coursi
costs the university about $15 a quar- !
ter for instruction.
