SCEP stresses
need for support
in filing reports
By PHIL GARON
Thresher Editorial Staff
About 2,000 of the 5,000
SCEP forms mailed out have
been returned, according- to
SCEP Chairman Peter Hollings.
However, a lack of response in
several departments has created
problems in evaluation.
Hollings stressed that returns
from most of the courses in
Group B, with the exception of
economics courses, has been
"wretched."
Response has also been poor
from the departments of geology
and electrical engineering.
The greatest scarcity of returns
has come from the small, upper-level
coui^es in all of the
departments sampled.
Hollings urged that students
who have not returned the computerized
forms do so immediately,
and suggested that students
make use of last year's
SCEP forms, which are now in
the college commons and the
-KMC, to evaluate any courses,
particularly the small, advanced
courses.
The deadline for all the forms
sent through the mails is Monday,
March 20, since the computer
will evaluate these forms
'during the spring recess. The
forms now in the colleges may
be filled out during the vacation
and returned by the end of
March.

At Baker Friday
Caravan will drive home problems of indigents
by BARRY KAPLAN
Thresher Editorial Staff
Moses led a caravan from Egypt to
Palestine, the Crusades are a history of
caravans, the civil rights movement is
noted for caravans, and the movement to
aid the farm workers of the lower Rio
Grande Valley will have its caravan next
weekend.
Two separate trains of cars and trucks,
one leaving Austin, the o t h e r leaving
Houston, will arrive in Corpus Christi on
Saturday night. The next afternoon,
Easter Sunday, people from all over the
state will be able to view first-hand the
physical conditions in which human beings
must exist in the state that will be instru-
•fcientkl -in piloting a man on the moon.
At the same time, the feudal barons of
the southern part of Texas will become
aware that exploitation does not go unobserved.
The mutual shock of recognition
will benefit all concerned—the growers,
because they will move up into the
twentieth century; the caravanistas because
they will see with their own eyes
the unbelievable.
Travel is truly broadening, and the
miles between the civilized parts of the
state of Texas and Starr County will drive
home the message that Texas apologists
need:
If Texas is to be as great as the traditional
"brags" say it is, there must be an
almost total reform of some of the practices
of the owners of a large part of
the State's agricultural economy.
The food and medical supplies delivered
to the strikers will, of course, be the tan®
gible goal of the caravan. But the educational
value of the experience will be perhaps
equally important to the future of
the Mexican-American laborers of the Valley.
This cause transcends partisan and
factious political questions.
There are votes in the Valley, and there
are future shapers of the policies of Texas.
But above all, there are Texans in tyae
Valley, Tescians whose culture can add much
to a state that ever admits the possibility
of enrichment.
The mechanics of the caravan are quite
simple:
Anyone at Eke who wishes to go to
Rio Grande City should appear at the
Huelga table in the RMC Friday a n d
leave his name. Anyone with inquiries or
doubts will he gratefully received. (Doubts
might include the perpetual question of
what happens to young ladies on such
rough and ready outdoor excursions. All
women on the caravan must stay in hotels
or motels along the route, under lock and
key.)
On Friday, March 24, at 7 pm, there
will be a meeting of all caravanistas at
the Religion Center of the University of
Houston. At that time, the trucks will be
loaded with foodstuffs and medicines to
be delivered.
The assembly time Saturday morning
will be 6:15 in the parking lot of the new-
University Center. The cani^gan will r-oll
at 7 am, and will arrive in Corpus Christi
that evening. The rest will be history.

On most college campuses, students protest
against their administration about social- regulations,
and the general trend is for students
to favor a minimization of restriction. On the
Rice campus, however, a unique system of student
government allows students themselves to
play the role of old mother hen; and, merely
exercising this right, the girls of Jones and
Brown have instituted for themselves a new
regulation.
Once upon a time there was a deanly rule
requiring Rice girls to dress like young ladies
—skirts only to classes, library, etc. A bit of
investigation this year, however, revealed that
the current deans are not interested in such
trivial matters. Confusion reigned, largely in
the Jones College cabinet. Indeed, according to
established college constitutional procedure,'and
what could be learned of nebulous "University
policy," no regulation existed. But, since some
girls seemed to THINK there was a rule (once
upon a time there had been), that cabinet decided
to make one. So, by various devious means,
the women's colleges acting in concert planned
to hold an election. And on the ballot would be
two choices: a strict rule or a loose rule. No
choice for no rule at all.
Well, the loose rule won, and Rice women
may now wear slacks and bermuda shorts, as
well as skirts, to class and the library, etc.
Such rules ought to be unnecessary. If our
administrators have confidence enough in the
.-judgment and taste of college women, why don't
the students ? Administrators and students alike
seem to have concluded that forcing girls into
ladylike dress is an archaic procedure; but why
don't the girls take the next step, the logical
step, the one implicitly recommended to them
by the deans' denial, of abolishing such dress
*)K toco maiden «uutt

regulations altogether ?
The in loco parentis notion still prevails. The
woWn's colleges act so conservatively for two
reasons: they don't want to do anything radical
for fear of jeopardizing their control over the
regulation procedure (which, if so tenuous and
so easily dominated, must not really be control
anyway); and the cabinets are filled with girls
who honestly believe it is their function to regulate
and direct their peers toward young ladyshfp,
perhaps to preserve the cultured "atmosphere"
of the place.
Brown College recently drew up a long recommendation
for curfew regulation reform, including
some liberalizing measures and an actual
tightening of regulations for freshmen. Why
does not a college cabinet take a stand somewhat
respectful of the supposed or anticipated
maturity of the college woman and propose
abolishing curfews altogether? For safety's sake,
there is validity to locking up the colleges at
night; but with roving security men and other
possible systems, such as a key system, why set
up rules and punishments for girls who have
cause to stay out beyond the witching hour?
It is indeed necessary for residential colleges
to establish and enforce rules governing those
areas of behavior where, for the sake of the
community, it is necessary for some individuals
to restrict their individual actions. It is not
under any circumstance necessary or legitimate
for a University, or in particular the students
or student government of a residential college,
to adopt restrictions which require conformity to
archaic, or even current, notions of how to mold
college women into somebody's idea of a lady.
That is for her to do for herself, and if her
environment is filled with worthy examples, she
shall learn it soon enough. —SJC
Sex rears its ugly head at Jones
By ROGER GLADE
Thresher Fine Arts Editor
It lias long been a standing axiom around
tliis place that if one locks up the mares the
stallions won't get into any trouble.
That is, at least in the^ Rice vocabulary, sexis
a four letter word.
We could hardly agree more. Our basic Puritan
strain rebels at the very idea of—well, all
THAT, you know. . «.
Anyway, after two weeks
of blissful rest and relaxation,
we of the Yum - Yum
staff have returned feeling at
once beneficent and serene.
Hence, we come not to lambast,
but to salute those who
are in the forefront of preventing—well,
"foals" we suppose—from overrunning
the campus.
We refer of course to those champions of
chastity, the delightful, loveable, and essentially
hospitable staff pf Jones North.
Picture this, you, a male (healthy, redblooded,
apple-pied, American) approach the
front desk to make contact with your yumvum
who is, blissfully ignorant, ensconced in
some cubicle above.
The desk of course is vacant — the staff
having secreted themselves in the basement in
the hopes, of course, that you will (a) go
away and leave them alone or (b) stay, get
frustrated, answer that telephone that's been
buzzing for fifteen minutes, and tell whoever
Ts calling that THEY should go away.
At any rate, assuming you are patient, a
staff member returns looking somewhat like
a disgruntled bull-frog at having been forced
to appear at all.
You ask to speak with whatever-her-name
was and are told, smilingly, that "she has a
private number."
And it is here, friends, that the defenders
of virginity are at their most fiendishly.clever.
They look up at you assuming an almost beatific
contenance and intone: "Her number is

Threshing-it-out
Olsen defends Huelga critique from editor's charge
(The following comments are
in response to an editor's note
to a previous letter of Mr.
Olsen's which appeared in the
Thresher on March 2.)
(1) Neither the dollar
amount of "profits" nor the
rate of profits on sales can
be used to infer that an enterprise
is making economic (popularly,
excess) profits. The correct
measure of the profitability
of an enterprise is the rate
of return on invested capital because
profits measure the gain
from the enterprise to the owners
and the amount of capital
invested represents the sacrifice
necessary to obtain this gain.
However, the rate of return
on invested capital itself does
not tell us whether the enterprise
is making excess profits.
For each type of enterprise,
there is some positive rate of
• return on invested capital necessary
to induce the owners of
capital to continue to invest in
this activity. •
This rate of return is a cost
of production just as the Wage
rate is a cost of production.
Unless both costs are paid, the
firm will be unable to obtain
the factors necessary for production.
Consequently, the "profit'' of
$'185,021 in 1966 may have been
no more than sufficient to induce
the owners to continue to
invest in La Casita Farms. In
this case, the economist would
say that there are no excess
profits at all. In fact, your
figure is perfectly consistent
with economic losses.
(2) This is a significant aspect
oL' the problem which 1
neglected. I am not very familiar
with the "tfreen card" program.
However, from your
description of its workings, the
green card program definitely
results in a lower wage for the
American farm workers than
they would receive if the program
were terminated.
Nevertheless, most of the
conclusions in my letter are still
correct. Combining the fixed
factor, land, with more workers
increases the marginal
productivity of land. Hence, the
land owners gain from the
"green card" program. Nevertheless,
no exploitation of labor
is likely to occur.
The imposition of a minimum
wage of $1.25 an hour is still
likely to result in massive unemployment.
In competitive
situations, restricting- the supply
of labor is the only means
by which labor unions can gain
higher wages for their members.
Of course, the excluded
workers are made worse off.
Labor unions have often used
this tactic to the detriment of
Negroes.
This gam for American farm
Workers might be obtained more
easily by political pressure
than by labor organization. It
might not be too difficult to
force the authorities to enforce
the settlement provisions of
the green card program.
(8) and (5) The quality of
effort which can be generated
on any political issue is scarce.
My letter implicitly suggests
that this effort be channeled
along the line of least resistance
and maximum impact:
equal educational opportunities.
While it is true that education
is a long run solution, at
least it is a solution. Neither
the state minimum wage nor
labor organization are desirable
long run or short run solutions.
They both make some of the
Scott claims wage raise no solution
To The Editor:
I am in sympathy with the
present movement to better the
conditions of the Valley farm
workers. However, I fear the
demand for higher wages, even
if met, will not better those
conditions, but will probably
worsen them.
In particular, if the Valley
Strike is successful and the
wages of the workers are increased
to a liveable level, it
is possible .that the final result
may be widespread unemployment,
laying off precisely
those workers on whose
behalf the strike was initiated.
This would occur if either of
the following conditions existed
after higher wages were attained:
1) If the farm owners are
able to hire cheaper labor from
Mexico, then they will employ
it rather than the more costly
Valley labor.
2) If the price of Valley produce
rises in response to the
higher labor costs, and if
cheaper produce is available
from Mexico or elsewhere —
then people will buy the cheaper
produce.
When farm owners can no
longer sell their product, they
will stop hiring the Valley
labor. Presumably they _ would
still produce, but would use
machinery rather than labor in
growing and selling their crop.
(It is possible that they might
have to grow a different type
of crop to do so.)
Some have argued that the
problem could be solved if the
farm owners would pay the
increased labor cost out of
profits. The question is, what
would force them to do so if
they could use machinery as
outlined above and continue to
earn their present profit? _

Marsh suggests admission off well-rounded students New methods in social sciences aired
To the Editor:
Your editorial in the March
9 issue entitled "Teaching:
What is it?" tended to transfer
the blame for the problems of
Rice from the students at large,
where it really belongs, to the
faculty and especially to the
administration.
Those olympian creatures inhabiting
the upper reaches of
Lovett Hall are showing more
wisdom in their conservatism
than you would admit.
President Pitzer's decision to
wait until the colleges show
their worth before inundating
them with money for educational
programs is a wise one. The
colleges at Rice are not structured
to deal with education
per se; they have other uses
and an attempt to use them for
education would not be worth
the time, money, or effort.

disciplinary education has its
drawbacks, and the idea of college-centered
courses would accentuate
the negative aspects.
The feelings of most students on
this matter is that an interdisciplinary
course would be easier
to study for than a rigorous
treatment of a single subject.
This will be true if a broadbased
course is taught by one
or two teachers. To be effective,
and to be rigorous, such a
course must utilize as many different
teachers as possible so
as to show students all the aspects
of a broad field.
An academ won't get an objective
view of all science from
a chemist, or an S-E won't
learn about music from a philosopher.
The colleges, with
their associates, cannot provide
an education that is both broad
and rigorous; only departments
can do that.
The problem and the solution
of getting students to pursue
education outside their own
narrow specialties lie in the
students themselves. Culture, in
terms of fine arts, is free or
very nearly so; yet it is rare to
.see engineers attending the concerts
or theatrical performances
or browsing through the
art museum just down the
street.
Similarly, there aren't too
many philosophers who can fix

Roll over, Ludwigl
Sir John assassinates
By STEPHEN
This week Sir John Barbirolli
and the Houston Symphony Orchestra
again revealed another
drama of unusual contrast.
Beginning the evening was a
mediocre rendition of the Prometheus
Overture by Beethoven.
Following this up, and greatly
enlivening the evening were
baroque works of Bach |ind
Berg, the latter composer combining
modern abstract, atonal
schemes with baroque themes.
Sir John provided a wonderful,
tragic ending- for the program
with Beethoven's Seventh
Symphony. Aside from the fact
that there was no interpretation
given this work, it was
only a poor performance. Out
of respect for dear Ludwig, I
shall discuss it no further.
Boisterosity
The second number of the
evening's program, a delightful
Bach concerto for violin,
oboe, strings, and continuo was
well performed by the soloists.
Singing out melodic parts for
violin and oboe were Henryk
Szeryng and Evelyn Rothwell.
(Miss Rothwell was to have
appeared in concert at Rice,
but the pei'formance was cancelled
because of illness.)
Both soloists displayed excellent
technical ability and superb
tonal quality. Miss Rothwell's
tone was especially mellow and
pleasing.
Unfortunately for the soloists,and
more so for the harpsichordist,
the violins persisted
in their usual manner, drowning
much of the piece in poorly
executed, excessively loud accompaniment.
The lower strings, however,
performed beautifully, and the
first chair, cellist is to be especially
congratulated for her
excellent articulation in tricky
solo passages. On the whole,
the performance of this concerto,
written by Bath for the
Academic Society of Leipzig',
was very good.
Quite appropriately placed
was the Concerto for Violin
and Orchestra by Alban Berg.
This concerto, ?ompo-sed in the
last year of Berg's life, combines
the modern techniques and
intriguing sounds of his time
with, in the last movement,
melodies from several- Bach
cantatas.
Throughout the work Berg,
employing a motif in fifths,
remains »** faithful to the twelvetone
technique which he deftly
mastered. In this blending of
deep personal musical expres- j
sion with the two dominant
trends of atonality and baroque
tonality, Berg far outdistanced
his master Arnold Schoenberg.
Awards
The Berg * Concerto was the
one work on the program well
worth one's listening time. Unlike
many contemporary "atonal"
pieces, its sounds are interesting.
Also unlike many
such works, it does not fully
utilize the percussion section.
Even those who generally
find j^jfs sort of music somewhat
distasteful will enjoy this

a comedy by Ben Jonson. The
performance, though run at
break-neck speed, was generally
very effective.
The players followed their
former technique of making
prop changes in the view of the
audience, this being indicative
of a change of setting with
minimal props. However, this
lack of props was confusing,
leading many in the audience
to feel that there were only
two locales of action. In actu-

T
"Rebels" attempt takeover at UT model United Nations
By CHARLES SZALKOWSKI
Sixteen Rice students found
themselves in the midst of
realistic international diplomacy
last weekend at the Seventh
Annual Model United Nations
at the University of Texas in
Austin.
The Riee delegates, along
with more than 600 other delegates
from 22 universities and
colleges, witnessed an attempted
takeover of the United States
mission by a "revolutionary"
group, passage of several significant
resolutions, and a pair
of addresses by Boris P. Krasulin,
first secretary of the USSR
delegation to the United Nations
in New York.
The "rebels" livened up the
final session of the Model General
Assembly, but were cut
short when the chair turned
off their microphone and the
Assembly revoked the credentials
of the Nigerian delegation
which had surrendered the
floor to them.
In the General Assembly,
procedural rulings and the in-
voking of a charter rule prohibiting
simultaneous debate of
the same topic in both the
General Assembly ahd the Security
Council kept the delegates
busy on the floor for
three sessions.
Meanwhile, in the Security
Council, a battle of wits and
procedural rules was being
waged between the Western and
Soviet bloc nations.
Eventual use of a procedural
rule allowed a last-minute stall
by the atomic powers to prevent
an exuberant clique of
emerging nations from passing
a rule outlawing nuclear Weapons
among UN member nations,
but failing to provide for Red
Chinese participation.
Anticipated debates on substantive
measures concerning
the Vietnam war and the admission
of, Red China never
materialized. Again, procedural
rulings and a successful tabling
motion effectively killed the discussion.
Debate on the questions of
Arabia and Yemen, Israel and
Syria, international arms con-
trol, multilateral assistance to
underdeveloped nations, and UNprovided
birth control information
and aid filled the committee
sessions which preceded the
final meetings of the General
Assembly.
At a banquet Friday, Krasulin,
a graduate of the Moscow
Institute for Foreign Relations,
spoke to the delegates about
the USSR's stand in the world
today. He stated, "There are
two roads open to the world
today: war and peaceful coexistence."
Krasulin went on to elaborate
on the real existence of only
one choice, that of peaceful
coexistence. He explained that
the purpose of the United Nations
is to promote peace, and
noted that the differences between
the US and the USSR on
world policy are not serious.
The ideological differences
are deep, he stated, but his
country does not "force the
development of a permanent
gap between the two powers."
A delegation sponsored by
the Student Association rep-
MUN proves place for role-ploying
By JEANNE JARVIS
The most important insight
into the functioning of the United
Nations provided by the
MUN experience cannot be
reckoned in terms of substantive
issues or physical structure.
The parliamentary machinations
of the student USSR delegate,
who kept the issue of East
German recognition off the Security
Council floor for more
than two hours, were far more
interesting and stimulating, for
'instance, than the address by
Boris, P. Krausulin, first secretary
to the (real) USSR mission.
As in a chess game, every
move was precalculated. Delegates
usually acquired *a previous
understanding of the direction
of floor action through
interdelegation causes, notes,
or personal exchanges.
Role-playing
When a session convened, discussion
actually amounted to
role-playing determined either
by a country's own interests or
previous diplomatic agreements.
Floor debate was thus more
concerned with the manipulation
of MUN parliamentary
rules than with real issues. Russia,
for instance, resorted to
walking out of a Security Council
meeting to prevent a vote
on the substantive issue of Red
Chinese membership. On another
occasion the Gaullist
delegation exited from the
Eighteen Nation Disarmament
Meeting.

the viewpoint of their real U.N.
counterparts.
As a member of* tlie Security
Council, the delegates from
Rice initially considered resolutions
concerned with seating
Red China and with the international
status of Yemen, Rhodesia,
and the divided nations.
Meanwhile, the General Assembly
delegates divided into
two groups to deliberate on proposals
dealing with the Syrian-
Israel conflict, Vietnam, arms
control, and the colonial questions.
Parliamentary Machinations
Later all the committee
merged to form the General
Assembly which met concurrently
with the Security Council
in sessions lasting from
i):00 am until 10:30 pm with
breaks only for meals and frequent
diplomatic recesses.
The Rice delegation was in
one sense fortunate that France
traditionally abstains on many
votes. British and Russian delegations,
on the other hand,
conducted intensively researched
and sophisticated tactical
battles. At one point, in fact,
a disgruntled British representative
reacted to a French abstention
by asking whether the
delegation represented the
Fourth or Fifth Republic.
Other than accidentally declaring
war on • Dahomey, the
most notable positive action of
the French delegation was to
procure champagne glasses and
a bottle of imitation wine (Union
rules) in an ice-bucket to
symbolically counter the Americans
with their coke bottles.
To place such antics in perspective,
consider only that in
Austin, unlike New York, the
Security emblem was overhung
by a set of Texas longhorns.

The delegation, composed of
Kathy Davis, Kitty Schild, Tom
Bertrand, Bill Blanton, Nick
Gilliam, and Jeanne Jarvis, was
the only Security Council member
not composed of UT students.
Baker College originally
sponsored two delegations:
Czechoslovakia and the United
Arab Republic. Upon arrival at
the conference, the over-staffed
Czech delegation noted the absence
of certain of their fellow
Communist-bloc countries and
the absence of several of the
emerging nations of Africa.

Houston exhibitions of modern sculpture range in quality
By CLINT GOODSON
Thresher Fine Arts Editor
Education by juxtaposition:
to see bad modern sculpture is
to understand the freshness and
integrity of-good modern sculpture.
Comparative viewing of
the current Houston art exhibitions
presents this opportunity
for perspective; and such a
viewing offers, as well, a really
meaningful survey of the
graphic arts since the war.
Start with the Contemporary
Arts Museum, not so much because
its present exhibition is
hideous as that it closes in a
couple of days. Entitled "Colored
Sculpture," the show demonstrates
what can happen
when a new idea is executed
without a genuine understanding
of means.
In this case the means are
artificially pigmented metal
sheets, carved wood, plastic,
cloth, and found objects. In
most cases, the resultant sculpture
ignores the nature of the
medium and then doubles the
confusion by adding color.
Worst of all are some of the
found object conglomerations;
it is almost as if the sculptors
have thrown these artifacts together
out of sheer ennui. They
totally lack imagination.
As illustration consider the
keynote work of the exhibition
—George Sugarman's "Four
Walls, Five Forms." Done in
wood, it ignores the importance
of grain and then tries to cover
its mistakes with paint. It is,
beyond that, a rambling, uneasy
work that contrasts in this
respect with the harmony and
balance of the wood sculptures
of, say, Eduardo C-hillida.
The present exhibition at the
Fine Arts Museum features
new accessions and selections
from the museum collection. Included
are three found object
sculptures which are, by comparison
with the ones at this
other exhibition, dynamic. Most
notable of these is the recently
acquired "Piastra," a plane constructed
from rusty iron plates
and chain. It is the work of Ettore
Colla and was shown at
the Venice Bienniale of 1964.
Its strength is its simplicity.
Hung like a painting, the work
sets up between its plates a
tension which is resolved in a
strikingly unconventional manner
by strong chain.
Good Painting
This exhibition includes good
painting as well. New to the
museum are an interesting Alberto
Burri entitled "Bianco B.
THE RICE THRESHER
IV, 1965," and paintings uy
Thomas Erma, Ida Kohlmeyer,
and Hassell Smith. Also hanging
are some of the museum's
modern canvases, most notably
a Motherwell and a Rothko, a
Vasarely and an op-art dartboard.
But Houston's best show in
painting is to be found at St.
Thomas University. The art department
there has arranged
a show of post-war masters,
and its instructive value is immense.
Abstract Expressionists
Here are several canvases by
Jackson Pollock, the best known
name in contemporary American
art, a leader of the abstract
expressionists and creator
of colorful, dripping canvases
that caused a critical
furor when he and his cohorts
were fighting for recognition.

Two party campus!
Kilgarlin delineates YDifficulties
By BARI W ATKINS
Thresher Reporter
Bill Kilgarlin, guest speaker
at a meeting of the Rice Young
Democrats held on Tuesday
night, stated that the YD's can
be most effective in educating
the public on political issues,
not as a part of regular party
functions.
Kilgarlin admitted that he
had lacked the courage to raise
the issue of the war in Viet
Nam in his campaign against
Bob Casey last year, a n d
pointed to issues of that sort
as the kind of thing with which
YD's can concern themselves.
To begin his talk on the possible
effectiveness of the Young-
Democrats, Kilgarlin summarized
the history of the organization
in Texas.
No Place to Go
He pointed out that since
1952 when the YD's defied
Governor Shivers by supporting
Stevenson against Eisenhower,
they "have had no place
to go."
Because of what he called
the 'courthouse system' in Texas—that
is, individual rather
than organizational politics—
Prison panel will
present program
to counter crime
"Operation Teenager," a "panel
of Texas prison inmates discussing
the importance of teenage
trouble in causing criminal
careers, will be presented on
March 29 in Hamman Hall.
The program was initiated
in 1962 by a group of Texas
Department of Corrections inmates,
concerned with the rise
of juvenile crime, who realized
that their real troubles began
in their teenage years—when
habits and attitudes were formed.
By discussing their own
background and experiences,
the inmates hope to prevent
teenagers from making - mistakes
that could eventually
lead to crime.
The program represents an
unusual attempt on the part of
inmates to help themselves;
seldom do men in prison admit
the mistakes they have made,
even more rarely do they show
such concern for others.
even Senator Ralph Yarborough
has not been able to build up
a liberal organization into
which the Young Democrats
could fit.
This situation exists despite
the fact that the existing liberal
Coalition — PASO, labor,
and Negroes—can together deliver
approximately 30% of the
vote.
No Liason
Another difficulty facing the
YD's, according to Kilgarlin, is
that they have thus far failed
to attract campus liberals or
graduate students who are interested
in politics.
Combined with traditional
Texas newspaper support be-
hind the conservatives, no liason
between the liberal YD's and
the senior party seems possible.
During the same meeting,
the Young Democrats passed a
resolution to support the Valley
Farm Workers strike with
"food and moral support." A
resolution to support the effort
to lower the voting- age
to 18 was also passed.
A committee to study the
situation in Viet Nam was appointed
at the meeting. It will
present its proposed resolution
at the next YD's meeting which
will be held on March 28, the
Tuesday following the Easter
holidays.

BILL KILGARLIN
YD's and the Party
He seems now like an old
master, though he died prematurely
in 1956. Also represented
at the St. Thomas exhibition
are two of his most innovative
abstract expressionist brothers,
Willem de Kooning and Franz
Kline. Both are well represented.
These canvases, taken
with the huge Robert Motherwell
and Antonio Saura's "Imaginary
Portrait of Goya" now
on display at the Fine Arts
Museum, document the mainstream
of the movement.
Selections from the work of
Piet Mondrian, Philip Guston,
and Mark Rothko are included
in the same exhibit. Mondrian,
two generations older than anybody
else here, has been called,
rightfully, the most fundamental
constructive force in modern
art. He is included in the
exhibit because of his influence
on the younger artists.
Guston is the least known
of the six painters; it is, perhaps,
the intricate coloring of
his canvases that stands out
here. The eight Rothkos, all in
a single chamber provided with
benches, are the most impressive
part of the show, lie is
best assimilated sitting down;
lioihko, the most like Mondrian
of.' the younger artists,
demands concentration,

There are sign?, tu>>, that
painting and sculpture are moving
closer together. Burri ami
Colla, both represented at the
Fine Arts Museum now, evidence
this trend, as does the
increasing use of color in sculpture.
The ground is not yet very
firm; recent painting seeks new
direction.
'Latitudes' augurs well for local literary scene
Houston, it seems, finally has
another little magazine (little
magazine: an irregular literary
periodical of highly variable
format, cursed with poverty, a
stranger to the academy, and
liable to rapid demise).
Its christening-name is "Latitudes"
(reminiscent, to me, of
"Coastlines," an important and
—surprise—defunct West Coast
mag), and it is run by Bob
Bonazzi as a successor, apparently,
to his "Fly's Eye." Local
boy makes good, even if no
money.
Nomenclature
The first place the eyes
wander in a new magazine is
down the table of contests.
Names, after all, matter if you
don't have time to read it there
in the news stand, and Bonazzi
has fielded an impressive selection:
Chicago jazz critic-poet
John Sinclair, John Howard
Griffin ("Black Like Me''), poets
Thomas Merton (Trappist) and
George Bowering (Canadian),
poet-editors Doug Blazek
("Ole") and Margaret Randall
("El Corno Emplumado"), and

Ronnie Dugger.
Nice. And there are articles
and recollections (Bonazzi on
Updike and Van Doren, Griffin
on Maritain, Merton, and Geismar),
a film column by Jeff
Millar, three short stories, hook
reviews, and Sinclair's jazz column.
Nice again. And there are
precisely 51 pages of text.
Hint of Superficiality -
Which, if anything, is the
catch. Bonazzi has tried to be
(almost) too inclusive in his
selections, giving tantalizing
tastes of a wide range of topics
and, thus, running the risk of
superficiality of treatment.
(I think, here, of Irving Halperin's
survey of continental
fiction dealing with the coneentration-c
a m p experience,
and of Bowering's poem, "Pancakes";
in the latter case, one
gets a deceptively bad impression
of the talent and seriousness
of one of Canada's most
important younger poets.)
Yet there are several fine
pieces in the magazine, particularly—one
is tempted to say,
and not wholly without cause—
for a Houston-produced effort.
Auden Parody
Merton's poem, "Western
Fellow Students Salute with
Calypso Anthems the Movie
Career of Robert Lax," is a
hilarious cross between a drunken
test and a rambling parody
of late Auden.
A translation from Fernando
Pessea by Merton, who is,
incidentally, one of the few contemporary
poets to succeed
with a rigorous religious outlook,
gives a sample of the other
side of this versatile poet.
Marjorie McCorquodale's
story captures the mixture of
concrete detail and situational
ambiguity characteristic of existential
fiction but rarely carried
off well on this side of
the Atlantic, and Elroy Bede's
fable of identity is nicely done,
if a little diffuse.
Warren Report
Millar, Sinclair (on the New
Music of Coltrane, Coleman,
Taylor, and Sun Ra), Bonazzi,
and Blazek (whose poetry re- of the Griffin interview, a pre-
views are pretentious and sarcastic—in
other words, ideal
for the task) are worthy of
note.
The poetry is generally inoffensive,
neither depressingly
trivial nor, magically beautiful;
and to round it off, Dugger
writes cogently on the timehonored
(if you're interested in
that sort of thing all over
again, 1 guess you'll want to
read it) topic, of the Warren
Report and its critics.
Coming Attractions
The second issue, due out in
April, promises a continuation
file of the Midlothian Warren
critic Penn Jones, and poetry
by Blazek, Sue Abbott Boyd,
Judson Crews, and Robert; BIy,
along with other goodies and
feature departments.
Bonazzi's address is 0102
Sherwood: presumably copies
will be available there and,
eventually, in news stands, libraries,
and. (who know-;?) campus
bookstores.
Don't just ignore it if
might go away. And thai, from
the indications of the first isuse,
would matter.

Two bands, seven broads
Archis expand minds
It's been rumored that a show is planned, to be capped
multi-sensual assault of voices,
lights, noises, and liquids can
produce an involvement/awareness
quite similar to certain of
the effects of the psychedelic
drugs.
Rice students will get a
chance after Easter to test this
theory, as the architects go all
out to create—sans drugs, of
course—a "total environment" as
this year's edition of the occasionally
annual Archi-Arts,
"Psychedelia '67."
Two bands have been employed,
the "traditional" Mandrakes
and an offbeat group
which features television sets
as instruments and a varied of
aural techniques.
In addition, an elaborate light
off by an interpretive dance by
the seven Archi-Arts honorees.
The girls—Bonnie Robinson,
Mary Corneil, Mary Burton,
Linda Thompson, Mari-Ned
Timme, Lili Milani. and Sue
Gilbert—will wear costumes designed
by the senior and fifthyear
architects.
The show goes on Friday,
March 31 at 319 McGowen
from 9 to 1. The Dean of Women
has granted all girls a special
2 am late permission for
that night.
The price is $5 per couple and
proceeds go to finance the William
Ward Watkin Scholarship,
a traveling scholarship for senior
architects.

Owlook
Traclcsters triumph in first big test
By GREG PETERS
As one who finds the dogmatism of Plato
refreshing (like a subtle wine, though not as
refreshing as water) it naturally follows that
writing Owlook columns would be much more
pleasurable (in the classical sense: as one finds
Bach more enjoyable than Beethoven, or Pollock
and Kandinsky more pleasing than Klee) than
factual sports articles.
It is especially apropos that the subject of
this monolog should be that venerable sport
of track and field of which the Greeks so naturally
partook. This is the only sport in which
man is allowed to be completely man in all
his form and beauty and simplicity. Save for
the necessity of strength revealing devices such
as javelins and discusses, the Greeks dispensed
with all accoutrements, i.e., supporters. (Women
were not allowed to watch the fun.)
The point in relating the above is to prepare
the way for the understanding of the beauty
in the wisdom of coaches Emmett Brunson and
Augie Erfurth. It is the combination of these
two men which transmits the content of track
and field to the boys who express the form of
the same.
The reason this university will qualitatively
have the most sparkling embodiment of this
higher sport in the Southwest Conference stems
from the quality of the minds found in these
two coaches, who possess that faith in the form
and the content of track which has made it
whole.
Guided by the knowledgeable hands of coaches
Brunson and Erfurth, the Rice track and field
team took top honors in the University Division
at the Border Olympics in Laredo last Saturday.
Though it was a total team effort which accounted
for one of Rice's best performances ever,
a few individuals, may be noted for their particular
contributions. Eight Owls made the blue
ribbon efforts, and set two meet records in the
process.
Dale Bernauer took top honors in the 100yard
dash (9.6), the 220 (21.5), and ran legs on
the winning 440-yard and one mile relays (total
times of 40.8 and 3:10.8 respectively). Conley
Brown set a new meet record in the 440-yard
dash (46.5) and was a member of the two relay
foursomes.
Fred Cloud and Doug Belzung made the necessary
additions to the sprint relay, while the
legs of John Moss and Mike Casey lent the
strength that brought down an old meet record
in the mile relay.
The versatile power of total teamwork also
manifested itself in the forms of Joe Williams,
who took first place in the discus (162'2") and
Ricki Jacobs, who tossed the javelin into the
realms of winners.
Coach Erfurth (who seems to represent the
ancient truism, "Those who know do not speak")
commented, "I think the fellows are coming
along nicely. They still have room for improvement,
though."
It seems to be his nature not to predict a
win in the SWC meet in May.

all the Rice teams place ahead
of the hapless Cougars. The race
will be held at 2:00 pm Friday,
April 14, on the U. of H. campus.
Twelve riders from Rice
are needed to compete in this
event.
The following Sunday, April

the Wheelmen's Houston Invitational,
which drew over 40
entries last year. Prizes and
trophies will be awarded again,
and there will be a special race
for novices. There was an entry
fee of $1.50 last year, $1.00
of which was refunded by the
P. E. department.

Finally, April 29th sees the
11th annual Beer-Bike race and
2nd Tea-Trike race. These contests
promise to expose some of
the oldest and fiercest rivalries
between the colleges. A good
showing saves face, and what
better opportunity for showing

The race will be on the same

Draft S y m p o s i u m
Senate restructures SCEP, ICC
By DARRELL HANCOCK
Thresher Reporter
The Student Senate changed
the by-laws of the Forum Committee,
the Parking Appeals
Board, and the Service Award
Committee in a lengthy meeting
last Tuesday. It also added
an article to Senate by-laws
more definitely structuring permanent
committees such as SC-
EP.
Dana Copeland, present Forum
chairman, suggested that
his group should include program
chairmen of the colleges
and a liason officer with the
Student Center Board. He also
pointed out that the group
would be more effective if appointed
early in the second semester
in order better to plan
for the next year.
The Senate approved all the
suggestions as well as a name
change to Rice Forum from
Rice Forum Committee.
The Service Award Committee
will lie given the responsibility
of selecting students for
Who's Who Among Students in
American Colleges and Universities.
The Permanent Parking Committee
was replaced by the
Parking Appeals Board, since
their responsibilities overlap.
The Senate also added a new
article more specifically defining
the purposes and procedures
of standing committees
on educational policy, admis-
>i •/]- policy, financial aid, European
travel, community affairs.
and international students.
Scholarships to Proxies
.Mickey Guiherteau, chief justice
of the 1 nter-College Court,
proposed that his group be restructured
to give almost complete
jurisdiction in disciplinary
cases to the college courts.
The proposal will be voted on
in spring SA elections.
In further business, the Senate
approved a letter recommending
that next year's Senate
attempt to place student members
on the University Library,
Examinations and Standings,
Admissions and possibly ROT''
Committees.
The Senate postponed a discussion
of a proposal to recommend
that the University pro-
