. .. Speaks on Russiaz •
Educational and Civic Leader:..
* To Address Forum
Dr. Nicholas Nyaradi, former
Minister of Finance and now Di-
rector of International Studies at
Bradley University, is scheduled
to speak to the Bice Institute
Student Association in the Lec-
ture Lounge of Pondren Library,
tonight, Friday evening, at 7:15
p.m. Dr. Nyaradi's subject will
be "Behind The Iron Curtain And
The Meaning Of The Khrushchev
Visit."
Dr. Nyaradi was born and
educated in Hungary but is now
an American citizen. He received
two doctor degrees from the
Boyal Hungarian University of
Budapest, one in political sciences
and another earned doctor's de-
gree in law. He was a member of
the Budapest Bar for 13 years
and also the legal advisor and
executive director of one of the
largest banks in Hungary.
HAVING PARTICIPATED in
the anti-Nazi underground move-
ment in Hungary during World
War II, he was asked by the
anti-Communist Small Landhold-
ers' party to accept a position in
Hungary's p o s t-war coalition
government. He represented the
Small Landholders' party first as
Under-Secretary of the Treasury
and then as Minister of Finance*
until 1948 when, as a consequ-
ence of the increasing Soviet
pressure, he and his wife fled
their native country.
After coming to the United
States, Dr. Nyaradi has written
several articles for leading news-
papers and magazines. His book;
"My Ringside Seat in Moscow"
was not only acclaimed by lead-
ing reviewers as one of the best
books ever published on Russia
but was also acclaimed as an
outstanding anti-subversive docu-
ment by the National American-
ism Committee of the American
Legion.
DR. NYARADI HAS a unique
and profound knowledge about
the Soviet Union as he spent
seven months in Moscow nego-
tiating a Russian reparation
claim against Hungary. During
these conferences he came to
know more Soviet Politburo mem-
bers than practically any other
statesman or diplomat. He is
also well acquainted with many
leading personalities in the
United States, in Europe and the
Middle East.
BESIDES THIS VAST back-
ground of international experi-
ences, Dr. Nyaradi has establish-
ed himself as an educational and
civic leader in the United States.
He is the Director of the In-
stitute of International Studies
at Bradley University. He made
also many appearances on behalf
of the Crusade for Freedom
from which he has received two
citations for outstanding work.
HE WAS ALSO INVITED to
Munich, where' he was thorough-
ly briefed on the organization
and operations of Radio Free
Europe. For his work in con-
nection with Hungarian relief
activities, he has received a di-
ploma of appreciation from the
American Red Cross signed by
its honorary chairman, President
Eisenhower.
Dr. Nyaradi has also been con-
sulted at different occasions by
various government agencies and
congressional committees. During
his frequent trips abroad and
through his friendly contacts
with leading personalities over-
seas, he is able to follow closely
the political and economic deve-
lopments in several critical areas
of the world. His name is listed
in Who's Who in America, Who's
Who in American Education, and
International Who's Who.

row at 7:30. Thirty-five pal-type
girls in almost 17 Ms costumes
will put out the songs, dances and
remarks of they leggy, laughable
exposee. Tickets are 75c.
With its down under setting,
Fran Murphy's script keeps up
the PAL reputation for atmos-
phere and inspiration drawn
from the lower regions.
White Slavery, Yet
The plot is an octangular
tussle, warmed up by the arrival
of two actresses in an Australi-
an city. Outraged with her man-
ager who has perpetrated some-
thing short of white slavery on
her, Eva Fairfax gets involved
with a newspaper reporter. Their
friends get together and uncover
a complicated case of multiple
bigamy. Then the whole thing
is laid bare as modern mass pro-
paganda media start rolling.
Judy Cole starrs as the "tor-
rid Miss Fairfax," with Tom
Sessions as Jeff Adams, the
Australian Amatory Ace. Fran
Murphy, a charming female lech-
er meets an old husband, Tom
McKoewn, for some cozy con-
nubial comparisons.
Chuck Berry, the prurient
photographer, corrals Ann Pet-
tus, the Maiden (?) maid, while
Roy Reid as the semi-slick agent
gets by the absolutely maiden
aunt, Manya Brooke, to get stuck
with a really nasty little neice,
Kay Kelly.
Tom MacKown is directing the
OF COURSE I'M A GIRL—And for the Rice students who don't
believe it, Judy Cole will convince Roy Reid and the audience in the
PALS Burlesque. ,
show with Bob Moody assisting
him. Miss Fairfax's motley teen-
age fans are played by Leslie
Cummings, Ann Shamblin, Mar-
garet Dehlinger, Claire Helman,
Diana Thomas, Dolly Teasley,
and Puddie Peterson.
Susan Majors and Kathy Kindt
are cast as female reporters,
while a dozen freshmen finish
the cast as bad companions.
The show is nicely rounded also
with ten musical numbers, includ-
ing such titles as No One Can
Ever Love You Like You Do, Be-
have Yourself, Love Is Hell,
Legalize My Name, You've Got
to Give It All You've Got, and
She's Just Not Enough Woman
for Me.

'Embarcadero' Saturday
The traveler who would like to set* San Francisco Bay without
fog can do so at the Freshman Class Dance on March 12, say the
Freshman Class officers, who are from left to right, Frank Hubert,
secretary-treasurer; Mary Fae Coulter, vice-president; and Jack
Calfee, president.
"Embarcadero," the official title of the dance, is a pier in San
Francisco, and all waterfront enthusiasts are invited to join in the
fun. This includes anyone who enjoys an informal dance. "Boys
should wear coats or sportshirts, and girls should wear heels or
flats," says Jack Calfee, president of the Freshman Class.
Bob Smith's band will be on hand to recapture the sound of
waterfront bars. Guests who like the delicate waterfront odors are
asked to bring their own fish.
The dance will be Saturday night from 9 o'clock to 1:00 at the
Knights of Columbus Hall, 2616 Louisiana.
Tickets are $3.50 a couple and are being sold in the residential
colleges and in the student center. Tickets will be sold at the door.
To Finance Body Bmces
Annual Charity Drive
Wednesday, Thursday
On March 16 and 17, Wednes-
day and Thursday of next? week,
The Rice Charity Drive, spon-
sored by the Senior Class, will
be held.
An AU-School Appeal
The Drive is an all-school ap-
peal held annually. This year do-
nations collected will benefit the
Texas Institute for Rehabilitation
and Research. Students^ contri-
butions will establish a fund to
finance the fitting of body braces
to children who are recovering
from crippling diseases.
Goal Set At $2000
This year's goal has been set at
$2,000.00. Since this is the only
time during the school year that
Rice students are asked to do-
nate to community "welfare it is
hoped that each student will be
able to give one dollar toward
this goal. Seniors will visit the
class rooms to collect contribu-
tions.
With the help of every stu-
dent at Rice the charity drive can
be a success.
