Betraying Confidence
It seems with winning teams Rice is
also inheriting the laxity in training
that sometimes comes hand in hand
with success. Only this week some-
one has reported to Coach Ernie Hjert-
berg that two members of his confer- j
ence championship track team were
seen smoking.
Now must students will say that this

About one hundred engineers, under
auspices of the Engineering society,
and as guests of the Houston Lighting
and Power company, made an inspec-

of that company Saturday. Special in-

pressure unit which has recently been

power company, acted as master of

"Only real problem today ia getting
leaders". Mlu Anne Rooe, member
of national leadership training staff of
the girl scouts, who Monday began
her week's course with the Rice girls
at the Autry house. Miss Roos is
quite charming, with dark hair and
eyes and a low, interesting voice. She
began most informally discussing the
early urge of girls and boys to belong
to something.
One of the most interesting incidents
she related was of the first club she
ever belonged to. The boy and girl
next door and her brother and she
met under the dining room table on
Friday nights. The table cloth was
one of that dark heavy kind with long
fringe. They had a flashlight and a
notebook. The purpose of the club
was to get even with a certain teacher
they all disliked and they took down
suggestions to "get the teacher's goat"
on Monday. Without a doubt, Miss
Roos said, it was the most successful
club that she'd ever belonged to.

From all appearances It seems a tra-
dition at Rice that the same girls be
re-elected to the May fete year after
year. No one has any complaint to
make of these girls; they are attrac-
tive and are well-liked enought to be
picked each year. But there are many
other attractive girls on the campus,
girls which are always just one vote
behind the "old faithfuls".
It seems that the Woman's council
could work out an eligibility plan. A
girl could be eligible for a class maid
for only two years. In this way more
girls would have a chance, and it is
quite certain that the May fete
wouldn't suffer at all. Who knows, it
might put new life in ye olde literary j
societies by giving them new people
to think about?

Jack Paul played fewer intermis-
sions Saturday night and with the aid
of dimmed lights brought the dancers
to their feet at the sound of the first
note. The top of the town with cool
winds and soft moonlight was quite
a delightful spot to the freshman and
sophomores, and sprinkling of upper
classmen present.
Another couple hidden at a back
table was EMI LIE TARRER, who was
wearing the green, and PAUL RICH
TER. Now, I ask you! STELLA MARY
McNEIR, the salesman of the Cam-
panile patron ads, was present in her,
summer ermine. JOHN DORE was
there with a new haircut.
Two of the Institute's inseparable
room-mates, W. A. BARTON and DAN
WEBSTER strolled in at a late hour
and joined the fun. Conspicious ab-
sences—JULIEN MULLER, sophomore
president.
Richardson to Play
Role of Chris Miller
In'Barker* ThisWeek
Gerald "Bud" Richardson, Rice soph-
omore from Beaumont, has been choa-
en to play the role of Chris Miller in
"The Barker" by the Houston Little
theater. The play will be presented
by this group at the Little theater on
March 28, 29, and 30.
Richardson is prominent in campus
affairs. He has appeared in several
productions of the Rice Dramatic club.
Recently he played a lead in "The
Show Off", and was also chairman of
the bids committee for the sopho-
more ball.
THEA TBRS
LOEW'S—Tarzan, the Ape Man.
With plenty thrills and action, this glor-
ified fairy tale packs a real wallop.
Two English hunters go in search of
the elephants' burial ground, and find
it. Maureen O'Sullivan, daughter of
one of the hunters, is captured by
Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller. Tarzan
returns her, and later rescues the
whole outfit. Nell Hamilton and C.
Aubrey Smith are in the supporting
cast.
KIRBY—Fireman, Save My Child.
This picture, although with a mislead-
ing title, will furnish you with many
a laugh. Joe E. Brown is a big leaguer
with a fire engine complex. A ball
game in the picture will give you all
the thrills of a regular game, although
without the peanuts. Evelyn Knapp,
Lilian Bond, and Guy Kibbe support
Joe Brown.
METROPOLITAN — Business and
Pleasure. Will Rogers, an American
business man, attempts to corner the
steel market, and has to make a trip
to Damascus to do so. There is plenty
of the Rogers type of humor. Joel
McCJrea and Betty Ross furnish the
romantic appeal, while Jetta Goudal
vamps.
MAJESTIC—Girl Crazy. Wheeler
and Woolsey plus Gershwin tunes
bring to you a roaring satire of the
West. Eddie Quillan is sent to a lonely
ranch because he is girl crazy, but he
invites his friends and gets a bunch
of pretty girls. Wheeler and Woolsey
thus give you some of the funniest of
their comedy situations.
