Birdie to fly in Hamman this week
EB's "Birdie'
By TERRY O'ROURKE
Thresher Reporter
Teen-age idol Conrad Birdie,
played by Charles Hubbard,
will make his debut at Rice in
the Elizabeth Baldwin Literary
Society's presentation of Bye,
Bye Birdie," Friday and Sat-
urday nights at 8:15 pm.
Recording star Birdie comes
to town as a public relations
stunt to kiss one of his most
avid teen admirers, Kim, play-
ed by Doy Butler
Kim and her teen girlfriend
Ursula (Wendy Ellis) are elat-
ed by this chance of a lifetime,
Owl Marching Band goes concert,
readies for spring performance
but Kim's boyfriend Hugo (Mi-
chael Pewitt) is enraged.
Kim's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
McAfee (Don Johnson and Su-
zy Royal) add to the humorous
emotional crisis deciding if —
then how—the Hollywood won-
derboy kisses their darling, in-
ocent daughter.
More exiciting problems de-
velop as Shirley Revis in the
role of the over protective
mother of Conrad Birdie's press
agent Albert (Whitney Ren-
der) tries to stop husband
hunting secretary Rosie, play-
ed by brilliant Bonnie Brigance.
Mother Revis hires her son
a new secretary, senseless and
sensuous Gloria Rasputin play-
ed by everyone's favorite sec-
retary Lili Milani.
This Saturday the Rice Owl
Band will begin its annual met-
amorphosis to become the Rice
Concert Band. The culmination
of the coming season will be the
annual Spring Concert.
Last year's performance was
quite successful. Radio station
KLEF broadcast the program,
and a record of certain selec-
tions from the program will
be available in the Campus

The words mean, respectively,
"one who is rustic," "a back-
ward individual," and "slap,"
and are used by high school and
college students in parts of the
Midwest.
"Current Slang" averaged six
pages for each of its first two
issues, but managed a coverage
of parts of the United States
from California to Washington,
D.C., and social groups from
high school students through
eastern seaboard Negroes. It
lists typical sentences and the
usage by area and group, as
well as the definition of each
entry.
Rice is represented in the
second edition with its own
slang, including "gnome,"
"pinkies," and "weenie," thanks
to the efforts of Jenny Mc-
Cravey, Jones senior, whose
name appears in the second
edition. All entries arc from
volunteer contributions.
The publication is mailed
without cost to contributers and
college libraries, and is on file
at Fondren Libray on Campus.
Forum acquires
a deposed lama,
expert sinologist
By JEANNE FREEMAN
Thresher Reporter,
Rayfield Green, State Depart-
ment expert on the Sino-Soviet
split, and Thurbten Jime Borbu,
a deposed lama now at the Uni-
versity of Indiana, have been
scheduled by the Forum Com-
mittee to appear at Rice.
According to chairman Dana
Copeland, tentative plans are
being made to present Manuel
Volikovsky, a scientist whose
departure from accepted scienti-
fic theory caused widespread
controversy. The committee al-
so wants to bring in an author-
ity on psychedelic drugs.
An appropriation of one dollar
from each undergraduate blank-
et tax finances the committee.
The committee has tried but
has not been successful in se-
curing grants to expand their
program.
Store after Thanksgiving.
