16% Flunk 1st
Honor Exam "
The Honor Council has an-
nounced plans for its make-up
test on the Honor System. It will
be given to all transfer students
(who haven't been tested yet)
and to all those who did not pass
the freshman test that was given
last week.
A list indicating the failures
on the first test is posted in the
Lounge. This second test will be
given next Tuesday night at 7:00
PM in the Biology Building. Per-
sons failing to pass this test will
be required to write a theme on
the Honor System.
There was a failure percentage
of about 15% on the first test,
which is much better than the
over-all class score of last year's
freshmen. Correct answers to the
test may be found in the Honor
System constitution and on the
campus bulletin boards.

Church in the United States. In
Japan their work was closely re-
lated to the local Christian
churches.
The Reverend Magruder is
especially interested in students
of Japan. He writes: "Restless in
spirit and in search of a new
authority, the new post-war gen-
eration of Japan presents an open
frontier and calls for an urgent
concern an response from the
Christian church."

STUDENTS
HURT ON ROAD
A car accident changed a hap-
py weekend into a hospitalized
one for three Rice students in
route to the SMU game. The car
in which Ernie Montagne, Ann
Bartlett, Jack Wertheimer, and
Shirley Baca travelled skidded on
wet pavement outside Corsicana
and slid off an embankment.
Shirley Baca suffered a slipped
disk in her neck, but the extent
of the injury is not yet deter-
mined. She has been transferred
co Methodist Hospital in Hous-
ton.
Ann Bartlett's broken leg has
been set; and, except for the in-
convenience of a cast, she should
resume normal activity soon.
Montagne is nursing cuts and
bruise. Wertheimer was unhurt.
