DR. TOM W. BONNER, Pro-fessor of Physics and Chairman of the Department at the Rice Institute, yesterday was among the small group of American sci-entists elected to membership in the National Academy of Sci-ences. Election is considered as the highest single honor that can be bestowed upon an American scientist. «.

TWO RICE EROSH BLUFF WAY TO TALK TO CASTRO Two Rice freshmen, Roberta

Thompson and Diana Green, bluffed their way past policemen, newsmen, and hand-picked per-sonal bodyguards to talk to Fidel Castro, Cuba's successful rebel, last Monday night. Their report of this follows*

After an interminable wait while D?. Castro evidently* de-voured large quantities of food:— (about five trayloads of dinner were swiftly pushed into the large suite on the 18th floor of the Shamrock Hotel and the door was just as swiftly shut in the faces of the eager group of re-porters)—-the paradoxical leader of contemporary Cuba efaierged.

"Doctor Castro" A rather unpretentious fellow,

he prefers the title of Doctor, which is his by right of a Har-vard law degree, to the title of Presidente or General. Preceded by a crew of burly khaki-clad 26th of July vets, all sporting beards and quite a few queues and all wearing the gold and red insignia of Castro's elite corps, Castro finally appeared clad in green fatigues and a slouch battle cap. The . picture of virility and strength, Dr. Castro nevertheless wore on a slender chain about his neck a papal medal which he nervously fingered throughout the interview.

Sebastian. Louis.«Bell plays Or-sino, Duke of Illyria, who is in love with Olivia. Trudy Haarman plays Olivia's merry gentlewo-man, Maria. Sam Lux sings and plays the role of Feste, the clown.

(Continued on Page 3) Long-range programs are important —for both men and missiles"

"In a company dedicated to research and development, a young man's opportunities to learn more —to increase his technical skills—are almost unlimited," says 31-year-old Harry Lawton, Jr., a General Electric engineer engaged in the development of inertial guidance and fire-control systems for ballistic missiles. "And to main-tain America's scientific leadership, we're going to need all the technical training and skills we can produce.

"An fhiportant aspect of my job at General Electric is the continuing opportunity to learn more. I've been able to continue my education in the company's Physics Program for college graduates. And I also have the advantage of association with top technical experts in my work. Opportunities like this have helped me real-ize that long-range programs are important—for both men and missiles."

Harry Lawton is one of several hundred technical graduates who are devoting their skills to the develop-

ment of 14 government missile projects to which General Electric is a major contributor. More and more our scientific progress and our national security depend on men like this — men who bring high qualifications to their work and who continue their quest for knowledge, both on and off the job.

General Electric believes that individual initiative and career growth are essential to America's continued technological leadership. To this end, the company en-courages all of its employees — including more than 30,000 college graduates —to develop to their fullest capabilities by providing opportunities for increasing knowledge and working skills.

Painless Learning The Tuesday night College series has ended. Next

fall they will begin again, with, we hope, an even larger average, attendance than this past year.

Dr. Konstantin Kolenda, who organized the series, and all the professors who gave their time for lectures deserve a vote of thanks for giving students a painless dose of learning outside their fields of study, and for adding a pleasant note to our "academic atmosphere."

Tch, Tch! We are definitely behind the times. The University

of Houston now has an official student vigilante com-mittee to purge that campus of all subversive reading matter—in the form of textbooks. Aire Rice students just going to sit back and be complacent and liberal?

Charity Drive, Homecoming Discussed, By-Law Passed

By^BARRY MOORE and LESLIE ARNOLD

THE STUDENT Council met for the last time Wednesday night. A communication was re-ceived from Mr. Sims expressing appreciation from the administra-tion for the manner in which the Council fulfilled its office this year.

THE COUNCIL was commend-ed for bringing to the adminis-tration's attention differences of opinion on Hamman Hall and the Student Center( both of which were entirely new, and for its work on the new Constitution.

NEWS WAS received from the Campanile staff t h ^ the Sally-, port section will be forty pages longer this year and the book will contain five color pictures more than last year.

TURNING TO news- of a fi-nancial nature, it was disclosed that the Charity Drive netted $1940. $2,964.50 was spent on Homecoming and a profit of $541.50 was made. The Student Association account now has a balance of $5,011.41 less, about

$40 and the Student Properties Fund contains $1,012.41 of which $300 will be spent for a public address system for football games next year.

THE STUDENT Center Com-mittee reported that there are now ping pong and pool tables in the basement of the building. The committee is still working on cold drink machines and a tele-vision set.

THE COUNCIL passed a mam-oth by-law, Article C-l, Estab-lishment and Operation of Stu-dent Organizations. I t lists in detail how organizations may be formed, what their constitutions must contain, how they may be dissolved, and what the privileges of an organization are. Of . par-ticular interest is the clause stating that no unapproved group may be covered in the Campanile. Section 3, b states that the funds of any group not dispersed be-fore its dissolution and not claim-ed by its members af ter dissolu-tion shall become property of the Student Association.

UT Students Protest Against 'Victorianism,' 'Oppression'

Stories of students seeking more genuine power over their own activities appeared in sev-eral college papers last month.

Victor ianism Student leaders at University

of Texas, for example, complained to administrators about what they called "Victorianism" and "op-pressive" policies.

DAILY TEXAN quoted the university's vice-president an(J provost, Dr. Harry H. Ransom, as raying, "This may well be a com-pletely new generation of stu-dents . . . students willing to as-sume great responsibility; if this is so, then perhaps we should re-evaluate our administrative po-sition and give students more re-sponsibility."

More Power He urged a study be made to

determine how students could have perhaps more policy power in the University community.

University President Logan Wilson agreed the study deserves consideration, adding, "The deans might well be delighted to see students assume more responsi-bility."

Fiats Against Kissing Accoring to the Tvilaxi, stu-

dents said that eve i^h ing from f ia ts against kissing in f ront of dorms to unrealistic policies against staying out late for aca-demic functions are inhibiting. A coed leader asked if students could have more "direct author-ity" as some students do, men-tioning a school where women decide their own hours.

Dr. Wilson stressed the need for students to be "left alone" as well as "helped."

"I'm sure you wouldn't want the deans' offices dictating all elements of student life, would you? Theirs.is a ticklish job."

Alum Says Thanks For Rice Day Fun

THE ONCE-WAS-A and the Now-is-a students met as kindred spirits on Rice Day, April 21, the annual Aiumni spring festivity. You students who were invited to take part in our fun were ter-rific! And so were the Alumni! There were more than 600 people in the Entrance Hall of the Rice Memorial Building. Nothing like it has ever happened before!

THE GRAPEVINE publicity had said that students were en-tertaining the alumni. Our there for the occasion was "AT HOME-AT LAST," because a dream has been realized—a real and beau-tiful home for student and alum-ni activities, together and _ sep-arately, with space enough for big crowds, yet not too over-whelmingly for the small groups.

A HOME with beautiful sur-roundings, dignity yet informal-ity, equipped with an excellent PA system; a splendid lighting set-up; a magnificent setting for a stage against the colorful cur-tain used as a backdrop; 2 doors conveniently opening from the courtyard walkways, which serv-ed as backstage entries for the cast. A wonderful set-up and used to the fullest degree for the f i rs t time at our Rice D&y "AT HOME—AT LAST."

The alumni came to see YOU perform in OUR building be-cause we both share it. I t was designed and planned for both of us—YOU (students) and US (alumni). (English majors, please note! "Us" is correct!)

I AM SPEAKING for the en-• tire Rice Day committee and say-ing thanks f i rs t to Frank Dent, who was co-ordinator or Bally-hooer, as we called him. He did •a marvelous job of getting the show together and announcing it. Endless hours of preparation went into his part.

MANY THANKS to Marilyn Kinzer. She was Belle Ringer for the co-eds who gave us style, beauty, g l a m o u r and many laughs, too.

^ Specials - thanks to Beverly Montgomery, Tom Evans and Buddy Dial, who sang for us and to Tommie Lu Storm, who danc-ed. You were all terrific!

Thanks to the Blaze Blinker in charge of lighting — Tom Mc-Keown. He blinked good!

Thanks to our Beat-Master, Bob Seiler and the Beat-Miss, Mary Lacey for their piano ac-companiment.

THANKS TO our 3 Rice pro-fessors, who were colossal sports in the final "number. We will not name them because we hope you will wonder until you find out for yourselves!

LAST, but probably this should be first, thanks to Mr. John Ken-nedy, manager of the Rice Me-morial Center—your center and ours, too—for his COMPLETE and wholehearted co-operation at every turn. •

SO AGAIN, you were terrific. The entire committee for Rice Day says Thanks. This includes Curtis Johnson '43, President pf the Association of Rice Alumni. Mrs. Harvin Moore, 1st Vice-President and over-all Director of Activities, Jimmy Rogers, Treasurer, and Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Davis, co-chairmen for Rice Day, and their splendid commit-tee of several dozen alumni. We speak also* for Whitlock Zander and John Evans, the Executive Secretary and his Assistant.

LAST PROSE OF SUMMERS

Prof - Ra ting Turns Into Prof - Baiting By ED SUMMERS'

This week, Rice Institute was to have observed one of the last of its pre-college system tradi-tions—the passing-out of profes-sor rating-sheets. Actually, this is two traditions—one which re-quires the students to fill them out in a way calculated to put the party in the adjoining seat into convulsions of laughter, and a second which requires that the professor read the f i rs t two he picks up and then, with a skill that .comes from years of prac-tice, pitch the remaining sheets twelve feet across the room into the wastebasket, which is set over by the door of his study be-cause it would be filled several times over before it were emp-tied, if it were by his desk.

Lost In the Past

The purpose of these sheets is lost in the misty byways of the past. I t is remotely possible that a t some earlier date Rice had students who took seriously the job of rating the faculty, per-haps visualizing their professor earnestly striving to improve himself according to the wishes of his students. I t is more likely that a t said earlier date the chairs were so f a r apart that you cotildn't see what your neigh-bor was writing, thus removing the chief motive for humorous re-marks

Happy Exception

There are happy exceptions to this gloomy picture of buoyant disregard. We recall with delight a conscientious lad who spent half a class period patiently filling out a rating sheet—in a hand whose capital letters were about one-sixteenth of an inch tall, with a number two Rapidograph, for a Professor who had a notorious difficulty deciphering newspaper headlines held a foot from his face. *<

Student Criticism

We recall, too, a professor an-nouncing to his class that while he was sympathetic to student criticism, he thought it was real-ly going too far for a certain young lady to request that he purchase a toupee in order to prevent the sun from glancing off his glowing cranium into her sensitive eyes.

Hilarious Lecture

And a wonderful gentleman whom we had for ivfath 100 who was as good a showman as he was a professor spent one hilar-ious lecture endeavoring to his utmost to achieve the level of conduct we had set for him in those rating sheets. Only let him mumble, and he caught and cas-tigater himself severely. If he started to tell a joke, he quickly stopper and with a show of pro-fessorly dignity which reduced his class to breathless heehaws of laughter, resumed his lecture.

White Faced And Nervous

And we have heard of a cer-tain highly unpopular fellow who handed out the sheets as a matter of bourse, took them up, and ap-parently read them, for he ap-peared at his lecture the follow-ing period white-faced, nervous, and with two mountainous grad-uate students hovering protec-tively nearby.

Fan Mail

Some professors do not get rating sheets; they get fan mail. How would you rate a prof who, on the f i rs t day pf class in hal-lowed old Lovett Hall, entered the room and sat down behind the desk and, glaring about mildly, announced that "I t might interest the more tradition-minded among you to know that I now sit in the same chair once occupied by the cold, correct bottom of Edgar Odell Lovett!"

They Won't Change

And other professors won't change no matter what you do; they are oblivious to criticism-—

at least, on the surface. One prof who lived in a student dormitory" was observed to open his door early one morning and shoo out ft cat. As the cat meandered down the hall, the prof, standing in his alltogethers in a hall he believed to be empty, pointed his finger at the cat and uttered these words: "Cat, if you are a female of your species, and if you were aware of the opinion held by my students of my moral behaviour you would not consider yourself so free to enter my living-quar-ters!"

Oh, well. It takes all kinds to make a university—or an Insti-tute.

Avalon May Repeat But Not Just Yet The hard-hearted writer of this

column received a letter from the Avalon Theater this week which really caused consternation. If you read this rubbish, you will re-member that several weeks ago, we attacked the Avalon for its earthy movie fare. Then arrives this letter with attached adver-tising blurb telling of the coming engagement of Don Giovanni.

But Leopards . . .

Our beloved editor lost no time in bringing the necessity for an apology to our attention. Com-pletely stripped of all dignity, we called the Avalon to see how much longer Don G. would be playing. We were told that it played for four days, and that the show currently playing, (for adults only) was "Circus of Love." And to sew up a future sale of tickets, we were told by tlie manager that "Brigette Bar-dot says that this is the sexiest show she ever saw." Note to editor — A leopard does not change its spots.

Newsweek magazine st a t e s that the number of movies being turned out by Hollywood every year is steadily dropping. This must be the explanation for the

BARBER SHOP Hermann Professional Building

— Just Across Main Street —

current death of decent shows in "little h." We do have one new opening: "The Mating Game" starring that most expert of lovers and husband-retainers, Debbie Reynolds.

Agent Falls The show concerns an Internal

Revenue agent who comes to Deb-bie's farm to find out why no in-come tax returns are being filed. Naturally, he falls in love and the typical Hollywood plot is off and running. Chances are, by 1965, Hollywood will make one movie a year, which will last six hours, have a cast of millions, a cost of billions, and not plot at all. At least this would seem to be the trend.

Hint For Finals And now a bit of advice about

studying for finals. Spend the night before at a movie. If your final is in History, go see an epic. ("Helen of Troy," "Land of the Pharoahs"). If it is in Eng-lish, try "Sleeping Beauty" or "Sound and the Fury." If sci ence of one sort or another, there's "I was a Teenage Were-wolf" or "The Monster From Planet X." And if it is a foreign language final, try one of the subtitle bits at the Avalon. Of course, for your Biology final, there's always the Uptown or the Submarines Races. Try this method, and I guarantee that you will be able to squeeze four years into five with the best of them. —RUKIB

W. E. DEFENSE PROJECTS ENGINEERS are of ten faced w i t h cha l leng ing assign-ments such as systems tes t ing for the SAGE cont inenta l a i r defense network-

ENGINEERS explore exciting frontiers at Western Electric

If guided missiles, electronic switching sys-tems and telephones of the future sound like exciting fields to you, a career at Western Electric may be just what you're after.

Western Electric handles both telephone work and defense assignments . . . and engi-neers are right in the thick of it. Defense projects include the Nike and Terrier guided missile systems . . . advanced air, sea and land radar . . . the SAGE continental air defense system . . . DEW Line and White Alice in the Arctic. These and other defense jobs offer wide-ranging opportunities for all kinds of engineers.

In our main job as manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System, Western Electric engineers discover an even wider range of opportunity. Here they flourish in such new and growing fields as electronic switching, microwave radio relay, miniatur-ization. They engineer the installation of telephone central offices,- plan the distribu-tion of equipment and s u p p l i e s » . . and enjoy, with their defense teammates, the rewards that spring from an engineering career with Western Electric.

Western Electric technical fields include mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil and industrial engineering, plus the physical sci-

ences. For more detailed information pick up a copy of "Consider a Career at Western

Electric" from your Placement Officer. Or write College Relations, Room 200E, West-ern Electric Company, 195 Broadway, New York 7, N. Y. And sign up for a Western Electric interview when the Bell System In-terviewing Team visits your campus. _

TELEPHONES OF THE FUTURE-Maklng telephone products for the Bell System calls for first-rate technical know-how. To-morrow's telephone system will demand even more Imagina* tive engineering.

boola . . . boola . . . TWENTY-EIGHT DAM DAYS . . wowie!

oh the challenges of being a Rice Student. Every walk to class brings new thrills . . . whether you'll be drowned by the sprink-ler . . . or the humidity. Whether you'll get malaria from the mo-squito biting you on the neck . . . or the one on the ankle . . or the one between the toes.

Chocolate Grit Whether you'll be able to get

that chocolate grit cone across the fifty feet of no-man's-land be-tween the door of the eating place in the R.M.C. and the front door of same without being appre-hended by a student scenter (courtesy Buggs and Flush) and put on cone-y-pro (not to be con-fused with dent and coney pro . . . punishment for reading this tripe). Whether you'll get Cen terial Disease (commonly called C.D. . . again not to be con-fused with D.C. from mental contamination by us) from the instant 30 degree temperature change as you go into In* out of the eating place in the R. M. C.

Ooze Brown

Whether to use the well plan-ned sidewalk system and get to class fifteen minutes late or try walking through the grass pats (new hit song: Come Tiptoe Thru the Grass Pats With Me!) and get your daily free sample of the specially-designed-for-R. I. shoe polish . . Ooze Brown! Whether to get up at 7:29 am with the alarm or wait til 7:30 and come screaming out of bed at your roomie to the clanging clunks of Deutschlandt Uberr Alles, Mein Fraulein and Stein!, the famous old Prussian War Bell Chant. I ring, therefore I am! wow.

Dear Old Adm

Hooray again for the dear old adm. (that's damn with the "a" in front and the "n" left out.) This time they have initiated an exchange janitor program. We

will have the top janitors from Cuba U., Gold Coast Tech, Somal-iland Heterosexual Institute for Teachers, and A&M who will work for a semester at various strategic points on campus. They will be graded and recommended for work on a system based on the number of students they can put on pro.

A Date Pool

Since Rondelet is this week-end . . or is it next weekend . . . or has it already been? . ..well, anyway, the adm. was worried about the social condition on the campus so they decided to initiate a Date Pool (something like a Cess Pool) in order to let a few Rice Girls go out. (This innova-tion was tested with moderate success in the architecture de-partment) Here, we quote:

An Old Beer Can

"We hope this doesn't incon-venience you but all students are required to put their name on an old b6er can along with their cer-tified number and blanket tax number."

Two Lucky Ones

All cans will be thrown into the student center lounge and then two cans will be drawn out . . . these two lucky people will then get permission from all the visit-ing janitors, professors and their wives and if they can get the date approved on the social calendar.

Breakfast On Tennis Court These lucky two will then be

required to go to the Rondelet breakfast (dressed in P.J.'s) at 5:00 on the tennis courts. They will be required to stay there un-til 7:00 at which time they will go eat breakfast in one of the colleges . . . clad in gung-ho college blazers. Then if they survive, it's off to Brunch with all the visiting Rondelets, (in tea dresses), then to lunch with the Rondescorts (in party clothes), then to lush with everyone at Kay's (in informal sports clothes)

was being held in Havana by the authorities so that if he were harmed, the hostage would be shot, Castro exploded. "Why must people spend their time invent-ing?" he cried. "Why don't people do good? Some people don't do good. They dedicate their lives to other things."

Only Interested in Cuba Referring to scores of police-

men milling about the corridors, Castro emphasized, "As for me, I'm indifferent to my own safety. There is a lot of freedom in Cuba There is a lot of fredom in Cuba as in the U.S However, no po-lice are watching over you in Cuba. The U.S. police are watch-

ing, always seeking for trouble. It's easier to move in Cuba, not as difficult."

Castro said he was going out to Tommy Ferguson's ranch in Wharton County for breakfast, and to pick up a horse that had been given to him. He would then go to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

"Red Ink" When one eager newshound

called out, "And what time will you get up, Dr Castro?" he re-sponded, "Oh, so you will be here then, too, huh?" While sign-ing our physics books with a red Lindy Pen, Dr. Castro laughingly quizzed us, "Red ink? Are you a Communist? Be careful."

And on that note he departed, surrounded by his corps of vets, back into his inner sanctum.

T H E O W L O O K By TED HERMANN

•Last year when Sammy Gia-malva replaced the ailing George Rickey as tennis coach at Rice, he stepped into probably the most, or a t least one of the most, enviable college tennis coaching positions in the country. Not only did he become a member of one of the most stable coaching staffs in the nation, but he inherited the conference singles and doubles cl\ampions, two outstanding soph-omores, and a couple of fine freshmen as well. After only one season it would be foolish to pass any sort of judgment on Gia-malva's coaching technique and accomplishments. However one statement can be made without fear or contradiction.

Job Well Done Sammy Giammalva has cer-

tainly not hurt the tennis situa-tion at Rice. How well he will do in the future when the present stock of outstanding players runs out, yet remains to be seen. But with the Owls currently leading the pack in the SWC race and expected to haul down the ma-jority of the top spots at the up-coming SWC tournament, it seems appropriate to give Giam-malva credit for a job well done.

In our opinion, one of the fin-est contributions made to Rice and SWC tennis thus far by Giam-malva was his initiation of the Collegiate Tennis Tournament held recently here in Houston. Giammalva's hard work made the

tournament a moderate success in its first year, despite a late start and the fact that many inter ested teams were unable to at-, tend this year due to earlier com-mitments.

Leo S. Shamblin, Senior Vice-President of thfe Federal Land Bank in New Orleans, is to be the new Business Manager and Assistant Secretary of The Rice Institute. He will replace the veteran C. A. Dwyer, who is re-signing after serving as Business Manager for 23 years.

George R. Brown, Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Rice said the Board had persuaded Mr. Dwyer to stay on several years beyond his normal retire-ment age and had reluctantly ac-cepted his resignation. Mr. Brown also said that Rice is extremely fortunate in obtaining the serv-ices of an administrator of Mr. Shamblin's stature. Mr. Shamblin

(Continued from Page 8) Gratitude

With Giammalva's continued hard work and the support of the Rice Athletic Association, the tournament is sure to develop into one of the major events of the SWC spring sports schedule. And, if Rice continues ' to field tennis teams comparable to this year's, perhaps into one of the finest collegiate tennis tourna-ments in the nation. If it does, and there appears to be no reason why it shouldn't, all Rice sup-porters will owe the personable and well-liked Giammalva a great vote of gratitude.

Least Enviable Position Whereas Sammy Giammalva

stepped into a developed and highly successful tennis program, the newly named Rice basketball coach, Johnny Frankie, steps into one of the least enviable po-sitions in the SWC. For Frankie is faced with the challenge of rebuilding the Rice basketball program to the heights which it should have obtained in the past three years. But if there was ever a man who was willing to put in the long hours of work necessary to accomplish this mas-sive rebuilding job, it appears that Johnny Frankie is the man. For the highly successful foot-ball-basketball coach of the Wharton JC Pioneers is no stran-ger to hard work.

Wise Choice The choice of Frankie as head

coach was probably a very wise one at this late point of the year. For by choosing Frankie the Rice Athletic Department not only obtained a successful, ex-perienced coach, but it also ob-tained a coach who is familiar with the SWC and Texas high school basketball situations The choice of an outsider this late in the recruiting season would have greatly handicapped the basket-ball recruiting for next year and thus delayed the return to power of Rice basketball one more year.

Wide Experience Frankie's experiences are wide

and varied. Since graduation from Rice in 1937, where he was a three year lettermaQ in football and captain of the 1936 Owls, Frankie has served as basket-ball coach all the way from high schools up thru and including a three month tenure as head bas-ketball coach at A&M. For the past ten seasons Frankie has been footbaU and basketball coach at Wharton JC. In this ten year period his cage teams have won 215 while losing 100. They have won their conference champion-ship seven times and won the National Junior College title in 1952.

3 Years At A&M Frankie's only previous taste

of SWC basketball was a three yar tenure as freshman basket-ball coach at A&M. Frankie left A&M in 1948 and has been at Wharton JC ever since. Other than

his wide experience, Frankie'* a

main attributes appear to be his compulsion for hard work and the determination to get the same from his players. Frankie's strong and forceful character is known and respected throughout Texas by players and fans alike.

No Place But Rice Frankie aecepted the Rice job

saying, "I don't believe I would have made a change to any other place in the United States but Rice." But perhaps more signifi-cant among the acceptance state-ments made by Frankie was: "I know it is a challenge, but I feel I can win." And to show that he was determined to s u c c e e d , Frankie scheduled an immediate recruiting trip with former coach Don Suman in an attempt to make up for the late start in recruiting.

Determined Man Thus it is that the Rice Athle-

tic Association has found a strong and determined man to fill a very important and difficult job. To Johnny Frankie go our best wishes for success. And to the student body and all Rice sup-porters^goes a plea for patience, for Rome was not built in a day. And modern basketball teams are much more complicated than ancient cities.

Why did

14,436 sophomores enter advanced Army R.O.T.C. during 1958? Many more applied. Not all were accepted. In more than 200 U. S. colleges, 14,436 college sophomores met the high standards set. These students were selected to continue officer training in the advanced R.O.T.C. course. Why did each of these young men decide that he would benefit by fulfilling his military obligation as an Army officer? Here are two important reasons. Perhaps they'll help you make your decision.

1 . . .TRADITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES As an Army officer, you're in command of men. More men than the number supervised by many civilian ex-ecutives years older than yourself. To meet your com-mand responsibilities, you employ a great many of the LEADERSHIPprinciples acquired in advanced R.O.T.C. training. And your executive potential develops while

you gather LEADERSHIP experience. The executive ability you gain as an Army officer will be an important advantage in any civilian career. That's why employment directors often prefer men who have served as com-missioned officers. These men have already proven their capacity to handle executive responsibility.

2 . . . T R A D I T I O N A L REWARDS In every organization, greater responsibilities mean greater rewards. The traditional prestige of an Army officer is matched by material advantages. A second lieutenant earns a minimum of $355.88 per month— plus substantial fringe benefits. Think you might want to marry soon after graduation? An officer's salary can

make things a great deal easier for a married couple just starting out. What's more, an Army officer is en-titled to take his dependents with him, wherever pos-sible. Imagine sharing the fun of travel with your wife —in the United States or foreign countries like France, Germany or Japan.

Spring Sports Cop 3 Victories

Rice's spring athletes had another busy week this past week, bringing home three victories, one defeat, and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places from the Drake Relays. The three victories came in) the form of a double victory over TCU in baseball and a 6-0 victory over the Frogs in tennis. The golf team continued to have its troubles on the fareways as they went down to defeat 5-1 at the hands of the Aggie golfers. Meanwhile Rice's thin-clads were up in Iowa, where, de-spite the fact that they broke a relays record, the best they could manage was a second place in the 880 relay behind Texas.

The complete run down of last week's results along with a few comments is as follows:

In four ball, Aggies Martindale and Mitchella defeated Godfrey .and Williams 2 and 1 while Cadets Fonseca and Jones were down-ing Nolte and Masterson 4 and 3.

This Week: The big event this week is the

two game baseball series between the Owls and the Longhorna this Friday and Saturday up in Aus-tin. The Owls are essentially two. defeats behind the Texans, thus a twin Victory this week • end could move the Owls back in the middle of the title picture. Mean-while coach Sammy Giammalva's netters round out their SWC action Saturday as they encount-er Texas Tech in Lubbock. In final preparation for the con-ference tournament the following week, they will meet Trinity of San Antonio in SA Monday.
