When sufficient events transpire to
rcehannel the groove of incident, one
may add them together and call tin
sum total. Fate. Perhaps it was in-
evitable that my disguise should be
discovered and that I should be asked
to dignify The Thresher once more
with my scriptural pellets of wisdom.
Perhaps it was inevitable that there
should inhabit the campus such a me-
ticulous journalist as Elbert Turner,
who should, with Post-Dispatcliiau
dexterity and the sifting capacity ol
a thresher of rice, relieve me of derby
and math book and descry that 1 was
riot Dr. Lovett after all.

hltlr-'ssed at each angle.
To do this the editor has stepped on many toes, and a few have exercised j

Certainly to bo Anonymous is betlei j
than to be Hoover these days. But
on the other hand, Thoreau advised
the world to beware of all enter-
prises that require new clothes-, and
not rather a new wearer of clothes. So
my attempt to resemble Dr. Lovett
was perhaps after all as big a mis-
take as that made by a spinster in
reading the "Decameron."
There is always a peculiarly genteel
tenderness in wading among Tony's
hedges in reminiscence. The huge fur-
bearing Mohammedan Christmas Trees
in the Quadrangle seem to reach out
and embosom one, to purr that col-
lege is still a place where one can
dare be sentimental in a screamingly
unsentimental age. It might be said
that this is dangerous for one of my
years, for doubtless an old person's,
carcass is the residence of the devil,
and from it can rise even more mis-
chief than from the chassis of a six-
teen-year-old girl.
Fed by memories and stung by the
viper of retreating youth, I might one
day find my spirit in revolt, yawping
at the march of progress which allows
Freshmen to wear their brains on their
sleeves. (Why, in the over-fancied
Good-old-days a Freshman was not
allowed to know anything; and this
was convenient, for you could spend
a year at Rice without anyone's dis-
covering that you really didn't know
anything, anyway.)
Let all the above be said by way
of foreword. It would be a misde-
meanor to write further without
apologizing to Dr. Lovett, Messrs. Mc-
Cann and McCants (upon whose
names there is yet to be made a
proper affirmative-negative pun), the
mayor of Houston, the Rice Institute
Band, and forty-two-bill-col lectors.
They were on hand to meet me on my
arrival in the city. But unfortunate-
ly they assembled at the Noah's Ark

the Hotel Brazos, expecting me to

I wanted to come by water, and 1
never travel on steamers any more
because of the annoying incapacity ol
the fish-loving s-ea-gulls to mind their

travel, and I have invented an accor-
dion-periscope-telescope by means o
which I can penetrate the overheat
water and, from the bottom of the
ocean, study the stars in my astronom-
ical research.)
Now that my apology has been made,
it is only fair to expect that the wel-
coming committee express some sort
of regrets to me, for did they not
patronize and entertain and parade by'
automobile all over Houston a large
head of cabbage they found in a pull-
man car? They did not learn of their-
mistake until, attracted by the blar-
ing band and raucous cries of "Long
live Dr. Blinkus!", I appeared on the
scene and announced myself with a
suave dignity that cremated their
spirits and sent them home ashamed.

queen was stunning. I was pleased
to note her striking difference from
European Queens, chiefly in that she
betrayed no such sentimental attach-
ment to historical salmagundi us thai
bulletined by the Queen of England';;

tiful to be just a preliminary (o the

Or does one consider mules eques-
trian?
Howbeit, I was standing near the
portal of the Royal Stables with Dr.
Lovett when the King's Horses ar-
rived. Around the first animal's neck
hung a sign inscribed, "Dr. Lovett."
My companion shifted a bit and ex
plained that it was a new custom at
Rice—naming students after the fac-
ulty in an effort to bring the twt i,
groups closer together. I gazed wist-i
fully down the long line of professor-
mounts in a vain effort to discover il
I had been remembered. But Dr.
Lovett said I shouldn't expect too
much, because after all, the students
had not lost entirely their respect for
horses and mules. I am still grasping
for his exact meaning.
Rice's president and I spent half the
night wandering about the campus and
recalling the details of the Institute's
growth. And there the emotional
phlebotomy began. We recalled how,
back in 1912, at the formal opening
of the Institute, he helped me welcome
distinguished" representatives of over
175 institutions of learning from many
parts of the world.
There was real champagne in those
days, and a hiccough was as good as
a hypocritical smirk. Ah, but the
pendulum swings hard, and we have
travelled from George and the cherry
tree to Volstead and the raisin! We
climbed the ladder of history, and fi-
nally vaiged into the subject of as-
tronomy. Dr. Lovett used to be an
astronomer, too, you know—in fact,
he was professor of Astronomy at
Princeton University. It was difficult
to keep the conversation free of
mathematics. In my astronomical cal-
culations I have replaced mathematics
with a system of spiritual faith; but
not so Dr. Lovett, who is not at all
figurative with figures.
He begged me to return to Rice: he
had had no one really to talk to since
I left some years ago, he said; and he
would like for me to, return to my
office in the Chemistry Tower, for he
had found no one with my pulmonary
capacity for negotiating the poisonous
laboratory fumes that collect there.
But I avowed my reluctance to go
back to work, for did not someone
once say that idleness, that is the
curse of most men, is the nurse of
poets?
We splashed into a section of the
campus that has, I was pleased to ob-
serve, remained unchanged these many j
years. It was the part of the Acade- I
mic Court between East Hall and the i

THIS DIRECTORY HABIT
Tb directory habit seems catching. Back in the good old duys of 1930,
l b. Thresher published a directory of all organization officers on the Rice
campus. Then the Owen Wister literary society took up the cry, and pub-
lished a complete student body directory, listing the name, address, and phone
ol every Rice student, as well as listing all the club officers. Last but not
least, the office of the adviser to women is compiling a directory of all official
hoarding houses for Rice co-eds for 1931-1932.
O W. I, S. members deserve most heartily the commendation of the
indent body, and so does the office of the adviser to women. A directory
containing names, addresses, and phone numbers of all students was needed
badly at Rice. Such a directory always proves, as indeed was the case
here, a time-saver, trouble-saver, and in fact, a life-saver.
Rice has long needed a list of approved I warding houses for its women
students and also its men students. The greater universities of America have
been publishing such lists annually for some time, and it is fitting that Rice
should take up the habit. Further, it is gratifying to know that Rice takes
a real interest in its co-eds, even to the extent of being concerned that they
• hould live in an atmosphere befitting college students.
OWL BAND TRIUMPHS
Houston is a big city. Harris county is a big county: in fact, there are
home 350,000 people hereabouts. Harris county is the biggest county in Texas,
and Texas is the biggest state of them all. From this it may be gleaned that,
after all is said and done, it must mean a great deal for a band to win a
first prize in the annual band contest. Further, it means even more for that
band to win if that band really has some opposition.
Bananas are scarce at the North Pole. Good musicians are scarce anywhere.
But there are about 46 real musicians at Rice, and it was with these men
that Lee Chatham, capable Owl band director, worked, and it was with thesj?
men that he won first place in the Class A division of the annual Harris
county band contest last Friday night. And Lee led this gang of college boys
to victory over professional musicians many, many years out of the university.
The whole victory is a tribute to a real band. It is one of the best bands
in the Southwest. Its members were willing to "bust" a few exams in order to
practice for the contest. They came out at six o'clock in the morning to
hold rehearsals. They came at five o'clock in the afternoon, they came at
seven o'clock at night. Not every morning, or every afternoon or every night,
but a good many mornings, a good many afternoons, and a good many nights.
Rice musicians had the will to win that contest. And they did it—decisively,
let it be said. The whole band played as a unit last Friday night. Johnny
Piccolo Player came in just at the right time to harmonize with Tommy
Clarinetist. Sammy Trumpet Blower kept in the right time with Henry and his
Peck Horn. Charlie Trombonist, watching the director with an eagle eye as a
good trombonist should, put just the right emphasis on that note way down
there. Dick and his saxaphone came in just on the third note of the twenty-
seventh measure as Dick and his saxaphone should. So did Billy Tenor Horn
Blower, and Harry, the Bass Horn artist. They all kept together.
The Thresher could fittingly call this, instead of the "Swan Song Edition",
the "Owl Band Edition" as a tribute to a group of boys that has worked long
nnd hard to bring fitting recognition to a great musical organization of a great
university.
Two more things remain to be said. Briggs Manuel and Fred Craig, president
and manager, respectively of the Owl band. They have worked consistently,
faithfully, harmoniously to make this triumph possible.
Miss Dorothy Dreaper was honored
recently with a bridge given by Mrs.

Administration Building where stu-
dents used to drown their professors
during the rainy season.
Our meditations were interrupted by
unmistakable wailing from the direc-
tion of the Biology laboratory. We
ran to the building, climbed through
a window and discovered Dr. Edgai>
Altenburg asleep over a text-book on/
Evolution. He was mumbling in night-
mare something about the new move-
ment to indict the theory of evolution
on grounds of insufficient proof of the
beginning. His handsome head tested
face down on his right hand, a finger
of which lay heavily upon an under-
scored sentence: "Ontogeny recapitu-
lates phylogeny." We tiptoed away.
As we scuffled along past the stone
toes of William Marsh Rice, I recalled
what an impression Dr. Altenburg's
teachings had had on me. Ever since
I learned about mutations, the in-
heritance of acquired characteristics
and whatnot, proving that man is like
any other animal and that we are not
so far ahead of the other monkeys,
I have been unable to look upon even
the most beautiful girl without feel-,
ing that it is only by mere accidents
that she is not sporting a long tail tied
perhaps with a colored silk bow.
Of course no conversation these
days is complete without some men-
tion of the Depression. In this case
Dr, Lovett was the offender. He asked
me how I had found it in the Far
East.
The only depression I felt in the
Far East was when, in Peking, I was
attacked by a Chinese dog whose
master explained apologetically that
to the Oriental dog all white men
smell like sheep and that in my case
even he could vouch for the dog's
olfactory honesty.
I had not been really repressed by
the Depression, however, until, one
day in New York, I went to buy an
apple from a poor, ragged girl on the
street and discovered with cardiac
gymnastics that my beneficiary was
none other than our own Solitary Sal.
whose observations on Sallyport Life
at one time filled a corner of each
week's Thresher. There were tears,
and then laughter, and Sal and I took
a ferry and viaged to an inn in Ho-
boken for a bit of Twilight Relaxation
of the Waistband. We swapped stories
about foreign travel, and her best yarn
concerned a visit to the Philippines.
She had gone up to Baguio, not far
from Manila, and was not a little em-
barrassed to find herself in a crowd
of trouserless Igorot men. Each was
clothed in the smoke of a cigar —
nothing more. Sal's American escort
was the municipal head of the place,
and, noting her embarrassment, he de-
creed that until Sal left Baguio all
Igorot men .should wear at least one
article of clothing; next day there was
a run on straw hats.
The last I heard of Sal she was

secretary to the caretaker of an
abandoned iron loundry in Hoboken
(known to some as the Last Seacoast
of Bohemia), and I suppose she had
learned to apply the more enlighten-
ing branch oi knowledge gleaned in
tlie American co-educational univers-
ity.
Before saying good-night, Dr. Lov-
ett, dedicating his thoughts to Dr.
Stockton Axson, recalled that Shakes-
peare wrote an antidotal verse salut-
ing tiie present depression, proving
that Shakespeare, like George Ber-
nard Shaw fancies himself to be do-
ing, lived years before his time: "Sweet
are the uses oi adversity, which, like
the toad, wears a precious jewel in
his eabeza." And I suggested that Dr.
Slaughter was perhaps after all seri-
ously mistaken in his advice to stu-
dents to arise at five in the morning,
for if more of them stayed ih bed
late, there would be more bust-outs,
and that would be a very good thing
to help relieve the depression.
To impress my companion with the
extent of my reading, as well as to
send him home in good spirits, 1
quoted a verse from Ben King's "Pes-
simist", and I here repeat the verse
as the closing note of this enlightened
article:
Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat but food,
Nothing to wear but clothes
To keep one from going nude.
Nothing to breathe but air,
Quick as a flash 'tis gone;
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to sing but songs,
Ah, well, alas! alack!
Nowhere to go but out,
Nowhere to come but back.
KLAERNER IS ONLY
THREE LETTER MAN
Rice is not without its all-round
athlete this year. After due considera-
tion of all records, the honor of being
the university's most versatile athlete
this year falls to "Smokey" Kiaerner,
big Dutchman from Fredericksburg.
Kiaerner is a husky 210-pound sopho-
more who lettered in football, track,
and baseball this year.
The past fall the powerful soph let-
tered on Coach Jack Meagher's foot-
ball team at end position. Though he
carries lots of beef with him Kiaerner
gets down under the punts with the
best linesman and oails the safety, as
Cy Leland of T. C. U. can well testify.
Chester is likewise a tower of strength
at the wing position when the oppon-
ents have the ball, taking two or three
men with him on each charge.
On Johnny Neimeic's baseball team
this spring Kiaerner served as the
other half of the hurling corps with
Ray Hart. The most notable perfor-
mance on the diamond was a well-
pitched game against the Houston Buf-
faloes at the beginning of the sea-
son. "Smokey" has two more seasons
to twirl for the varsity and should de-
velop into one of the most feared
twirlers in the conference.
In addition to flinging for the base-
ball team, the big Dutchman found
time to join the track team and throw
the javelin and discus. He started
rather late in the season and did not
reach his prime this year, but next
year with an even stark he can easily
place in the conference higher than
he did the past season.
Kiaerner was also on the Owl basket-
ball squad this year.
