With the air of basketball begin-
ning to pervade the campus, the
girls of the Institute are not to be
outdone and have organized teams
u compete in intramurals. These
games will take place on Wednesday
nights in the Field House, thus en-
abling the Navy to attend. Profit-
ing by post experience, it can be as-
sured that the games will be quite
exciting—if not in ball handling—
in rough and ready fighting. Yes,
it has been remarked how surpris-
ing wt is that such pretty and de-
muie types at school (as some are)
can become so rough in their play.
The first games will be played
next Wednesday, 6 December, be-
ginning with one tangle at 7:30. The
teams are matched thus: E. B.'s vs.
P. A. L. S., and 0. W. L. S. vs. Girls
Club. Coaches for these teams are
Johnny Cox, P. A. L. S.; Bobby
Foley, E. B. L. S.; John Donaldson
and Lee Williams, Girls' Club; and
Bill Henry, coach for the 0. W. L. S.
The girls have been practicing the
past' two weeks, E. B.'s on Mondays
and Thursday, O. W. L. S. on
Wednesdays and Fridays; P. A. L. S.
op Tuesdays and Friday; and Girls'
Tit tc rested Clubs

Bill Henry asks that those clubs
interested in scheduling dances for
this year consult him immediately.
Henry heads the Dance Committee
that assigns dates for the dances,
but "Treetop" really just wants a
free guest pass (paid advertise-
ment).
The EBLS have asked for 10
March, and Sophs have reserved 7
April. All other Saturday nights in
next term are available.
An inspiration to the treasurers of
some dubious campus clubs might
be the prospective Navy orchestra.
According to Roe, they will grace
us with their presence at Autry
House on the first Wednesday night
in every month, providing the audi-
ence isn't all diverted en masse to
the field house for girls' basketball
sanies.
L. S. Forwards on the team are
Ann, Ellen Hopkins, Molly Barnes,
Alice Craig, Bettye Phillips, Kayway
Thompson, Peg Weathei-all, and
Martha Nunn. The guards are Fran
Hawkins, Ellen Picton, Louise
Loose, Geane Brogniez, and Humpy
Gordon.
The starting players have not been
announced as yet. The girls will turn
up next Wednesday in various modes
of attire, and if it may meet with
f:he approval of Goodearle and Hen-
ry, matey will likely be in shorts.

Martin Leads Pals ^
Ann Martin is captain of the P. A.
legiate escapades were well-known
on the campus at the time of his
residence here. Nicknamed "Wild-
cat" by fellow students, he once
worked for the Central Drug Store
as an "experienced sod* jeirker," at-
tracting crowds from far and wide
to witness the novel concoctions pro-
duced by the amazing Mr. Ewing.
Early Accomplishments
No order was so difficult that he
did not triumph with an entirely new
mixture than was originally intend-
ed; But since these duties inter-
fered with the carrying out of heavy
school responsibilities, he decided it
was best to let someone else take
over the honor of his position.
As an undergraduate, Dr. Ewing
had another article published in the

There will be a corporate
munion of the Canterbury Club in
Palmer Memorial Chapel at. 7 a. at.
on Friday, 1 December. Navy men
may obtain permission to be pres-
ent by signing the list provided for
that purpose.
The Girls' Club will have a call
meeting on Friday, at Autry House,
at 12:45.
Next Tuesday, the Methodist Stu-
dent Union will gather at Autry
House at 12:16.
There will be'an important meet-
ing of Pi Delta Phi next Tuesday,
6 December, at 1 p. m. in A. B. 301
to discuss the program for the year.
All members are urged to attend
without fail.
The Ave Maria Club will meet
weekly, (beginning today, Thursday,
30 November, at 1 p. m. in Senior
Commons. All Catholic students are
urged to attend—this is not a social
club. A speaker will be invited to
every other meeting.
At a meeting held by the Archi-
tectural Society, new officers were
selected for the term. Alice Hayes
was elected president of the Society,
and Tommy Connelly was made sec-
retary-treasurer.
New members were voted on and
the following invited to join: An-
nette Gano, Arthur Kotch, Ann
Ridgew,ay and Robert Maurice.
An open house was held after the
T. C. U. game by the Society at the
home of Stella Sullivan in honor of
the freshman architects.
The rapidly approaching Christ-
mas season is bringing, along with
the customary filled stockings, fruit
cake, holly, and carols, what should
prove to be the most crowded, if
not the most brilliant, period in the
winter theatrical season. The initial
Literary Digest concerning moon-
bows. This interesting phenomenon
takes place in the near full of the
moon on nights when there is a

Dr. Ewing has done a great deal
of research work recently. The last
time he visited the Rice campus was
two years ago during a business
trip.

COUNCIL ELECTS—

be left up to the organization plan-
ning the dance; that the council was
not designated to govern the mat-
ter. With a bYt more discussion the
matter was laid aside, out of the
governing hand of the council.
President Bill Henry made the
next announcement. It seems that
the president of the student body
at Texas University thought that
Rice might be able to help in their
turmoil, and he wrote a letter with
this request. This letter was an-
swered stating that it was not our
position to become involved in any
way.
School Unity
In this connection of school unity,
Henry brought up the good of va-
rious student councils of the col-
leges getting together. If the heads
of the student bodies were to meet
(as expressed by Mr. Jegs Neely),
social relations would be helped.
(This referred to the Aggies' charge
at the half during the Homecoming
game.)
The idea that we act as official
host when schools come to Rice to
play was discussed. It was men-
tioned that this matter was rather
the function of the Rally Club since
that organization formerly showed
visiting schools over the campus,
met the train, and performed other
such hospitalities. However, since
the Rally Club is limited to a small
section of boys, such a practice is
hard to fulfill.
Function of Rally Club
Muriel Wicks asked if the Rally
Club saw that cheerleaders were
honored or that a dance was given
in honor of the visiting school. A
dance of this sort comes under the
•Judgment of the dance committee.

appearance of this busy period
that of Arthur Bubenstein in the
Music Hall laat Saturday night in—
Mr. Roussel notwithstanding — one
of the greatest demonstrations of
musical craftsmanship and ability
ever presented to a local audience.
Although a more detailed appraisal
of Mr. Rubenstein's talents would be
an extremely pleasant ta k, the nu-
merous other engagements on the
agenda for the next few weeks de-
serve a brief pre-arrival review, so
the remainder of today's column will
be devoted to them.
Next Sunday afternoon and the
Sunday following will find, respec-
tively, the General Platoff Don Cos-
sacks and the duo piano team of
Bartlett and Robertson making mu-
sic in the Music Hall. The Cossacks,
known to many Houstonians from
their previous "visits, are bringing
their familiar group of male singers
'and dancers to present, in what at
least seems to be an authentic Rus-
sian manner, the songs and dances
of the Czarist as well as Soviet
Russia.
In addition, they will sing for the
first time locally, "The Lord's Pray-
er" as set to music by the Ameri-
can, Albert Hay Malotte. The piano
team of Bartlett and Robertson is
more of an unknown quantity in
these parts. From their advance no-
tices they appear to be" quite capa-
ble musicians, but it is hard to for-
get the advance notices of "Naughty
Marietta," so don't" take too much
for granted until their playing is
heard.
Ballet Rus^ de Monte Carlo
Following these productions into
the Music Hall , will be a four-per-

Russe de Monte Carlo. There is al-
ways the oeeasion for jubilation on
the part of local balletomanes, as
well as those of us who like good
music and dancing but are a bft

"just any kind of baUet as long as
it is ballet." The Busse always
brings a good orchestra and fine,
well trained dancers — this year
starting Danilova, TaHehief, and
Franklin—and their programs 15,
16, and 25 December should be
among the season's theatrical high-
lights. The entire company will
spend its Christmas vacation in
Houston preparing for the Christ-
mas night performance and giving
local celebrity seekers a chance to
hob-nob with the ballerinas.
Personally, the Front Row feels
that the performance of Copeland's
exciting "Rodeo" at the 16 Decem-
ber matinee; the new "Le Bourgeoise
Gentilhomme" and the sensual, stim-
ulating "Scheherazade".!— again
danced by Danilova and Franklin—
on the evening of the same day; and
the new "Danses Concertantes" on
both the 15 December and Christ-
mas night programs, will be the
standout productions of the series.
Also deserving of notice are the
following: The Interstate-' Produc-
tion of the "Student Prince," 14 De-
cember, the Skating Vanities, 13-17
December, and the Symphony spon-
sored operas, "La Traviata" and
"II Trovitore," 27 and 28 December.

The last of the meeting held the
announcement that two financial
reports on every dance are due to
be turned in, one to .the dance com-
mittee and the other to the Student
Council secretary to be filed in the
minutes.
