of the two teams according to a point
system of scorag,
Mr. Turner's complicated ballot con-
fused the chairman, who hesitated some
time trying to interpret It; and when
Mr. Turner saw this confusion of the
chair, he prepared another ballot read-
ing simply! Affirmative " in order to
make perfectly clear what his vote was.!;
But before this duplicate ballot was
brought forward, the chairman, still
puzzled as to the vote, tentatively an-
nounced a two to one decision in fa-
vor of the negative but asked repre-
sentatives of the two teams to come
forWard and examine Mr, Turner's bal-
lot. While this examination was be-
ing made, Mr. Turner's duplicate bal-
lot arrived, and the confusion of the
chair was only increased by what ap-
peared to be a fourth vote.
All that could be done was to dis-
card all these ballots and ask the
three judges jto vote agan, simply stat-
ing their decisions in favor of the af-
flrma$ve or the negative. Again, as
in the original ballot, Mr. Shepherd
voted for the negative and Judge Wil-
son and),.Mr. Turner voted for the af-
firmative. No judge at any time re-
versed his vote as it stood on the orig-
inal ballots; the decision was at all
times two to one in favor of the af-
firmative. All the confusion arose
from a misreadng of one of the orig-
inal ballots (Mr. Turner's) and from
the necessary correction of this error.
The situation was a most distressing
one, for the judges, for the chairman,
and for the two teams and their fac-
ulty advisers. No one can be blamed
for the misuhderstanding; but the De-
bating Club at the Rice Institute prom-
ises that no such incident will ever
again mar its contests so far as the
strictest precautions can serve to pre-
vent a recurrence of this episode.

Programs To
Be Resumed
The Lucky Strike radio programs,
which have been one of the outstand-
ing air features since the inception of
broadcasting, will resume within a
month, according to a statement made
today. This series will mark the re-
turn of a sponsor who has given the
radio audience such universally popu-
lar features as B. A. Rolfe and His
Lucky Strike Orchestra, Jack Pearl as
the Baron Munchausen, The Magic
Carpet with Walter Winchell, The
Lucky Strike Police Cases, The Her-
bert and Halliday Series and culmi-
nating with the first presentation of
the Metropolitan Opera Series last sea-
son.
Always partial to Saturday audi-
ences, the new Lucky Strike series con-
tinues as a Saturday evening feature,
and according to present plans, the
premier will be heard over the NBC
eight to nine P. M„ Eastern Stand-
ard Time, Saturday, April 20, ,
While no announcement concerning
the nature of the full hour show was
made at this time, owing to the fact
that al) details h{(ve not as yet been
completed, the news that. Lennie Hay-
ton has been signed to assemble a spe-
cial orchestri for the program, leads
those in radio circles to expect a high-
class popular program in direct, con-
trast with Lucky Strike's previous suc-
cess, the classical opera series.
As far as known at this writing,
Hayton is the only one thus far signed
on the program.

"Papa say, 'Itsy bitsy durl, be dood!'
Mama say, 'Its ybltsy durl, de dood!"
Everybody say, 'Itsy bitsy durl, be
dood!''
'Aw rite . . .1 be dood ... but I
ain't donna have no fun!"
But you can be GOOD and have
FUN TOO if you come to the E.B.L.S.-
PRE-MED DANCE to be held on April
27 at the River Oaks Country Club,
and especially may you have fun since
you may kick up your heels in those
nice fresh linen suits. Girls, imagine
not having your arms tickled by a wool
suit of the fellow you are cavorting
about wtih and stuff. (That "and
stuff" was put in to keep from ending
a sentence with the word with!) Any-
way, its a LINEN FORMAL.
We overheard a young lady say the
other day . . ,
"No. I Won't take a cheek!"
;' "But my -dear. . . " '
"Mi . . . I'm good and I'm poor—in
fact, I'm good 'n poor!"
BE GOOD AND NOT POOR! You
can come to the dance for a mere pit-
tanee. . . If you buy oil for your car,
you don't buy cheap oil, and if you buy
a French or German "pony" you pay

plenty for it. You expect too! How-
ever, it will cost you and your date
but $2.00 to get in, and if.you oome
alone, only $1.50 . . , and if you feel
splurging, you might go the whole
hog and be a patron £r a mere $8.00.
Why just the other day, I was down
selling a bid to Jesse H. Jones, one
of Houston's finest , . , (not a cop),
and he had a heart of gold, which at
the time seemed to be completely in
his mouth. When he learned what I
wanted, he had me come in, gave me
a cigar (which was thrown in for
effect, so I threw it back at him) and
bought 10 patrons' bids. That's what
he thinks of Rice and its organiza-
tions. (I wonder if that check was
good?)
And then, too, they say that in the
spring, a young man's fenoy turns to
thoughts of love and Nancy et al. We
have an original poem which truly ex-
presses the thought of the season. . .
; "May, May . . . . ;
Hill and dale ... •
When rain is hard . .
They call it hail!"
Heavy water is being produced at
the rate of five cubic centimeters a day
at the Columbia University and is val-
ued at five hundred dollars an ounce.

There'll be sizzling• hot doys this summer
when you wouldn't sell your Palm Beach
suit for $15.75 for I he rest of the day
And you can have this Palm Beach cool
comfort all summer for only $15.75...And
still have a lot of wear left.
Palm Beach is a bigger value than ever
this season, because of the lower price and
finer tailoring. You ought to see the beauties
in white and fashion's newest colors.
Genuine, trade-marked Palm Beach
keeps its shape and resists wrinkles better
than any other summer suiting.The smooth,
fuzzless fibres repel dirt, and let air in
and perspiration out.
