For Archi-Arts
Costume Ball
Herbert Johnson, president of the
Architectural Society, stated Thursday
that the Archi-Arts ball, annual cos-
tume affair, will be held on Saturday,
March 14.
Hie Archi-Arts, originally sched-
uled for February 22, was postponed
because of the accident to Reagan
Gillette, architectural student, which
occurred while he was decorating the
Junior League for the affair. Gillette
fell from a scaffold and received a
serious head injury. He recovered
consciousness yesterday for the first
time since the accident.
The ball will be held at the Junior
League as originally planned. The
theme of the ball is the French of old
Louisiana. The Soiree Louisiane will
portray the traditional gaiety of the
society of old New Orleans.
The highpoint of the ball will be
the presentation of the eight Cam-
panile beauties in an elaborate page-
ant. One of the eight will be chosen
queen of the ball by a judging com-
mittee, and appropriate coronation
ceremonies will be held.
Bert Sloan, musical director of
KPRC, will direct the orchestra for
the dance. Sloan; a pianist, is well
known for his arrangements, and has
made a fine record for himself as ofc
rector Of the Centennial Concert
Broadcast over the Texas Quality Net-
work. The orchestra will not. only
play popular music for the regular
dancing, but also will offer several
minutes and quadrilles during the in-
termission periods.
NET RADIO SET-UP
Although little has been said about
the progress of the coming Engineer-
ing Show, all departments are pro-
ceeding with their work schedules and
have planned many exhibits, depart-
ment managers revealed at the meet-
ing Wednesday evening.
There is still little visible evidence
of what the show is going to have in
the way of the new and unusual, but
the work is gaining momentum all the
time and in a few weeks the science
buildings will bo buzzing with activ-
iff
James M. Bryan, junior manager o(
the electrical engineering department,
announces completion of plans for all
exhibits which will be particularly in-
teresting to the uninitiated public.
This will consist s>f a broadcasting and
j receiving station by means of which
| two-way messages may be sent1 to
i raclio stations in all parts of the world.
THRESHER LUNCHEON
MONDAY
Members of the staff of The
Thresher are invited to again park
their dogs under the festive board
laid by the editor and business
manager of the weekly publication.
John Costley, honest as the day
is long on a December eve, made
the announcement Thursday and
practically stopped what little work
was being done on The Thresher.
The luncheon will be held at the
Autry House Monday at one o'clock
and John, Clyde Hanks, and Ran-
dal, Brooks will swing wide the
doors.

"Form Co-operatives. Help to bring

day evening at Autry House, the Rice
joint Y.M.C.A.-Y.W.C.A. expect that
this message will be brought to Hous-
ton by Dr, Toyohiko Kagawa, leader
of Japanese Christianity, labor, and
social worker, when he speaks at the
City Auditorium March 17.
The club resolved, to hear the mes-
sage from his own lips, and after its
regular meeting on Tuesday, March 17,

Venturing the guess that the dis-
covery of ultimate particles is nearin^ \
the end, Dr. L. M. Mott-Smith, in- j
structor in physics, spoke on "The j
New Ultimate Particles" at Rice In-
stitute Sunday afternoon.
He believes, however, that at. least!
one more will be discovered, a particle j
with the mass of a porton, but carrying j
a unit of negative rather than a posi-;
live charge, It has been suggested that!
such a particle ought to exist, and a
few physicists have looked for it, but
without success, the lecturer said. < j
"Until 1932 physicists beliived that
all matter, indeed the entire universe, j
was made up of three, and only three, j
fundamental or ultimate particles i
These were the familiar protons, elec-i
trons and photons, In 1932, however,
two additional such particles were I
discovered. ;
The proton is the nucleus or core of
the hydrogen atom. Its weight, al-
though, only about a millionth of a
billionth of a billionth of a gram, is
considered heavy from the atomie
point of view. Its dimensions are not
;: ! definitely known as its weight. In
fact, from the modern point of view
it is futile to inquire into its exact
shape because it is maintained that
such questions arc necessarily unan-
swerable. However, for the saks of
having !a definite picture in mind, one
may think of a proton, as indeed of
all the other particles, as an exceed-
ingly small ball of material. The ac-
tual diameter of a proton is estimated
at around one millionth-millionth of a
centimeter. The proton carries a posi-
tive electric charjge of one fundamen-
tal unit of charge, namely the same
charge numerically as the negative
charge of the electron.
The electron is the fundamental unit
of elcetricity, it is in fact a small piece
of electricity itself, and is the thing
responsible for all electrical phenom-

THREE PETITIONERS"
AUTOMATICALLY WIN
FRESHMAN ELECTION
The officers for the freshman class
for 1936 are Robert S. Cooke, presi-
dent; Charles Moser, vice-president;
and Earl Wallace, secretary-treasurer.
The election was scheduled for Mon-
day, but since only three petitions
were presented, one for each office, the
three petitioners, Cooke, Moser, and
Wallace, automatically became officers.
When some of the boys got back
from their twelve o'clock class Thurs-
day morning they found that there
had been an eviction, or a coup d'etat,
or something on that order. The sec-
ond llor of the middle entrance of East
Hall was turned into a hospital. So
many of the boys wanted a feist cure
in the form of measles that the hos-
pital facilities in South Hall were
quickly becoming exhausted. But as
one gets over the "spots" about lis
quickly as one wv them, with a little
straining ,lhe situation Could have been
kept in hand. But some of the "spot-
ted" boys, whether through the tirgers
of class distinction or just through
pure sabotage decided on a little more
seclusion and broke out with the
mumps.
Now everyone knows that the
measles are a matter of laying around
for a couple ol days, or so, or so—and
then one can get up and romp around
as much as ever. Well, the mumps, il
appears, aren't like the measles and
well placed fourth in the .-.one i v- ul
The seven men making the trip
were Petty. Carr, Weichort. I'aaer-
soii, Haley, Wallace, and Caldwell
Jack Morton, .lane Catmafax, and hundred yard dash, and Chuck C.i'.rf.
Billy Goyen presented the play, a
short skit prepared especially f^r this
radio scries. It is the third of a group
of six plays by Rice students oivtere.}
in the Sakowitz contest.
One play is presented cadi Wednes- . Crpnr|, Tkaafv- Will
