1956 Homecoming
Dominates First
Council Meeting
Discussion of Homecoming
plans dominated the first meeting
of Rice's new Student Council
last Wednesday night. Wes
Pittman, councilman at large reported
on the possibility of obtaining
dance bands. He priced
Shep Fields at $850, Jan Garber
at $1,000, and Ralph Flanigan
at $1,200. Ralph Flanigan
was chosen.
Henry Giesel announced that
the balance in the Student Association
account is $603.17. The
balance in the student properties
account is $1,816.75.
About 3,000 books have been
sold in the past three days netting
around $240 for the Charity
Drive. The Council later decided
to write Dr. Craig a letter of
' thanks.
Jack Holland appointed new
committees. The Student Properties
committee will consist of
Wes Pittman, Chairman, and

Remodeled Commons
1956-57
The renovations of Commons
will be completed by September
and students will be served from
a line in the enlarged kitchen,
leaving more space in the dining
hall itself, according to Dean
Guy T. McBride, and Herbert Y.
Allen, who is working very
closely with the building program.
The work on the present
commons which was begun about
two months ago will continue
through the summer and is expected
to be in use by next semester.
The men's dormitories, now
under construction will be completed
by the first of next year,
and Mr. Allen said that he hoped
that they would be available
for at least partial occupancy
by the second- semester of next
year.
The Women's dormitories are
out for bidding now, but .completion
is not expected before

Next September
The Administration' announced
today a new schedule of room
rent charges to be effective for
the academic year 1956-1957. The
new schedule was established in
view of the increased* financial
cost of the new residential halls
to be ready for occupancy at the
opening of the second term in
February 1956. Charge per stu-
dent for accommodations in a
double^ room will be $270 per
academic year; charge per student
in a triple room will be at
the rate of $180 pert academic
year for whatever part of the
year such crowding is necessary.

Work began last week on the
Central heating and cooling system
which will replace the present
power plant now furnishing
only steam heat with a plant for
both heating and air conditioning,
leaving only the walls of
the old unit in use. The work,
being done by Lockwood, Andrews

of furnishing steam heat
by next September, and will be
avialible for air-conditioning by
rifext March.
The heating unit will serve
every building on campus, and
the air conditioning will serve
the Library, the cafeterias, the
girls' dormitories, the geologybiology
group, and the masters'
houses. The air-conditioning will
consist of an 1100 ton unit added
to the 800 ton unit which
now serves the library. Additional
capacity will be available
to meet future needs, but at this

CUBAN STUDENTS REVOLT
AGAINST GOVT. TYRANNY
Rice students think they have
a hard time dodging the auto*
mobiles streaking through the
campus, but students in Cuba are
trying to dodge bullets in riots
which have injured more than
50 and resulted in the arrest of
20 university students.
The riots have stemmed from
supposed oppression of students
by the Cuban government. Government
troops, it is alleged, attacked
students who were "peacefully
marching" to the Park of
Liberty to commemorate the anniversary
of the shooting down
by the colonial Spanish govern-
ment of eight students of medicine.
(It is not known why the
students were celebrating the
elimination of the eight premeds.)
One student, Oscar Peron, is
fighting death after having been
shot in the chest by government
soldiers. (It is possible that Peron's
shooting may have resulted
from a case of mistaken identity.)
To publicize their cause, a number
of students marched into a
televised baseball game, carrying
a banner which demanded:

Aircraft
Today's leadership ... a
reflectioiuoL policies established
in aviation's infancy
Back in The Roaring Twenties, the magic dream pictured American
families someday using the light personal airplane as freely as
the family car. Among the realists, however, was a handful of men
who were unshakable in their conviction that the real future of
aviation lay with bigger aircraft, higher speeds, greater ranges —
all possible only through engines of higher power and more reliability
than those of that era.
In the spring of 1925, six of these men of vision founded a
company in Hartford to undertake the development of a new aircraft
engine — an air-cooled type. The year's end heralded their
first success — Pratt & Whitney Aircraft's "Wasp".
This talented group of men continued to improve their powerplant
designs, developing engines of steadily mounting power that
operated efficiently and dependably. They contributed much to
aviation's progress — so much so that currently three-quarters of
the world's commercial airliners and many of our nation's first line
military aircraft are P & W A-powered.
Today's P & W A powerplant designs are supported by the
very finest research facilities and equipment, and a technical staff
that is continually being strengthened. That nucleus of six men has
grown into one of the world's leading engineering organizations.
Yet to this very day, engineering achievement at Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft is guided by its founders' simple policy ... the best airplanes
can be designed only around the best engines.

In speaking of the retirement
Dr. Houston ^aid, "It is with regret
that we have reached the
time for the retirement of Mr.
and Mrs. Hardy. I am sure that
the faculty, students and alumni
join me in wishing them the best
in retirement."
In the fall students will be
served from the new kitchen as
well as from a n#w cafeteria line

New liberal Arts
By BUI Gordon
Thirty volunteers from next
year's Freshman class will have
the opportunity to participate in
an experimental 4-year liberal
arts program designed to enable
them to get a fuller perspective
of the interrelation of courses
in the liberal arts field. The
program is open to majors^ in
economics, English, German, history,
philosophy, psychology and
Romance languages. Existing
Rice courses will be used and
a student will, as at present,
take four advanced courses in
one field to fulfill his major re-
The Original Wasp, the first P & W A engine — designed,
fabricated and assembled in less than seven months. Weighing
under 650 pounds and officially rated at 410 horsepower,
this lightweight, air-cooled radial engine was a
milestone in aviation history and set the pattern for almost
three decades of record-breaking advances.
The Double Wasp, an 18-cylinder, two-row piston engine
rated at 2400 horsepower for basic use. Its rating increased
by water injection to 3400 horsepower, the Double Wasp
was instrumental in turning many a military crisis into an
aerial victory in the decisive battles of World War II.
The Wasp Major, a 28-cylinder engine with pistons arranged
in four rows of seven each and a 3800-horsepower rating.
Its power and performance having never been equalled, the
Wasp Major represents the apex of the art of building
reciprocating engines.
The J-57 Turbojet, first jet engine in history to be officially
rated in the 10,000-pound-thrust class. In quantity production
since early 1953, the J-57 has continuously undergone
progressive development. It gives every indication of-having
almost unlimited growth possibilities.
The Engines it Tomorrow, advanced jet, turboprop, and nuclear.
Already in various stages of development, these aircraft
engines of the' future will further contribute to the long
^istory of leadership that Pratt & Whitney Aircraft has
established in the field of aviation.
qudrements. -j
According to Dr. Wiq. H. Masters
on, Professor of History, and
Registrar Mike V. McEnany, a
number of members of the liberal
arts faculty have been working
on this program during the past
year in order to attempt to remedy
the common complaint of
students that their academic
courses don't seem to have much
in common with one another.
English Tutorial
The freshman year for these
thirty students will consist- of
Mathematics 100, Philosophy
100, a foreign language, a
science elective, and an English
tutorial. The tutorial is planned
to be a sort of conference, held
5 or 6 times a semester, between
a member of the English faculty
and each student, individually.
Since the purpose of the
tutorial is to work for "clarity
of expression and comprehension
of ideas," it is expected
that assignments will consist
mainly of themes to write and/
or books to read.
During -the Sophomore year
there will be five courses: Economics
210, English 230, Psychology
300, a second-year foreign
language, and another
science elective. A seminar is
also planned for the group which
will probably meet weekly to J
discuss scientific method and
the "big ideas" of science for
one semester, and to study
of the "over-all picture" of the
humanities the other.
J uouir ,y pftr,.i ^ -
In the Junior year each of
the participating students will
take one advanced course in the
major that he has elected, and
will take four courses and a
seminar devoted to a unified program
of study of Western Civilization.
History 100, English
200, Philosophy 300, History of
Art 450 and previous studies
will be used as a basis for the
weekly Junior seminar which
will be devoted to a discussion
of the over-all concepts of these
four courses and their interrelation.
During their senior year students
will take three courses to
complete their majors and two
correlating electives. The committee,
which is to be appointed
to supervise the experimental
program, will help each student
to pick his electives primarily
"on the basis of past q|^erence
and interest." A Senior seminar
is planned, similar in scope to
the. Junior seminar, which will ^
emphasize relations 'between the
student's major field and his
other areas of study.
Flexible Program
The faculty members who have
worked out plans for the program
believe that it is flexible
enough for changes which may
become necessary and yet integrated
enough to provide a fine
background for any major in the •
liberal arts field. Ideas drawn
from a study pf the program
sfter it is completed may be
used to make future adjustments
in the general liberal arts
curriculum. •

FRIDAY, MAY U, 1M« T 9 1 THRESHER & Tfcree
The Rice Players in their last
appearance of the year paid fitting
tribute by the excellence of
their performance to the directing
activities of James Dean
Young. The play, Shakespeare's
Henry IV, Part-1, provided a vehicle
for the talents of a number
of surprisingly good actors. In
general the performance, including
the interesting lighting effects,
seemed almost professional.
In particular ~ this reviewer
could not help but be impressed
by the performance of Jim Bernhard
as Falstaff. It seems hardly
too much to say that the whole
play was held together and interest
maintained by the noisome
antics of this character, ably
played (even to the snore) by Mr.
Bernhard. Bob Fri, as usual,
handled his role with confidence
although the part of Henry IV
could hardly be brought truly
alive even with Mr. Fri's excellent
voice.
Sandy Havens, although good,
did not convey conviction in the
role of what might have been one
of the most entertaining characters
in the play. Graham Campbell,
as Hotspur, handled a long
and difficult role well. Joan Feild,
as Lady Percy, turned in a lively
and appealing performance. Lovely
Elizabeth Barnett was truly
excellent with her rendition of

the plaintive Welsh ballad althrough
her extreme shyness prevented
a convincing performance

Carry It On
In addition to these major contributions
to the performance,
there were of course a number of
lesser ones. 1 might single out the
beautifully enunciated performance
of Phil Martin as Sir Walter
Blunt, the performance of Frank
Dent as the Earl of Westmoreland
and that of Tom R. Moore
as the Archbishop of York. But
there were many others whose
extensive contributions helped
make the entire play a success,
including some good work on
the program. It is of some interest
to note the number of freshmen
who participated; it would
be a matter of regret should the
work of Jim Young not be carried
on in succeeding years.

FtlfUT, MAT H, ltu
We've never made up the homework that we didnt do
while we werfe taking polls and worrying about the roadblock
last September, but before we even get a chance to,
it's time to stop. We still have plans we haven't used yet,
and ideas for stories we haven't written yet, but it's all
over—we have to turn in our press cards, put up our hatchets
and torpedoes and study for finals.
Last September before we gave up scholasticism for
journalism, we promised, in our first editorial, that we
would print what we considered important, interesting,
and entertaining, tempered with the integrity and experience
which makes a good newspaper. It is not for us to
evaluate our success or failure in this attempt, but we can
honestly say that our every effort has been in that direction.
We were often negative; we fought against the roadblock
and pre-registration from the start, and we sometimes
criticized the iictions of student groups; but we were
often positive: we advocated student action on the riot
situation, shortening of Rush, extension of the Honor System,
and, of course, windows in the Memorial Center. While
we have stood both for and against some groups during
the year, we feel that we have always stood for, if not always
with, the student body.
It is difficult to appraise our activity for the year, because
our contributions to the student body are not limited
to our editorial policies, but range from our free phone to
our collections for the charity drive; we hope we've been
important, and our circulation leads us to believe that we've
been interesting and entertaining — that we've been a
newspaper.

We've tried not to be just a newspaper, but rather, to
be the Rice newspaper. We've concentrated on the campus
and campus activities, attempting to run stories on the
history of Rice, and to introduce the student body to the
leadership of Rice through our Men Behind Rice series.

Campanile Profits
Dear Mr. Editor:
Although I believe that it is
unnecessary to explain the financial
position of tfee Campanile to
the student body in print. affter
my irritated "no comment" to last
week's rumor that we made $5,-
000 on this year's book, I would
like to set the naive public
straight on some aspects of this
year's profit position.
A few weeks ago I was met
with the direct question: "Is the
Campanile going to make $5,000
this year?" I cheerfully gave an
affirmative nod, assuming, of
course, that the joke was in good
taste. It seemed to me that it
would be obvious to anyone with
any knowledge of our publications
system, however slight, that such
a profit—or as the editor and I,
call it, "residue," could only be
gathered with an action similar
to the treasurer of the OWLS
running off with the club dues.
Both of these are possible, but I
believe, improbable.
Let me assure you, for my editor's
sake and my own, that we
have not absconded with the

funds that the students have entrusted
to us to produee a yearbook,
and since those funds were Milling Around

make up the difference without New Policy: No Errers

Dead Week begins Friday, officially
or not, but it will be
anything but dead for all Rice's
springtime athletes. On Friday
and Saturday the baseball, track
golf, and tennis teams see action.
The baseball team has recovered
from a poor start, and a win
Saturday over Baylor at Waco
will cinch fourth place for the
Owls. The pitching staff is in fine
shape, as Briggs, Temjl, and Wolda
have all looked sharp the last
three weeks.
The Owls sweep of two games
from Texas ^ two weeks ago was
the first time Rice has ever
accomplished such a feat over
the longhorns, perehnial conference
champs. A week later the
team surged past A&M by taking
two out of three. If the season
had another week to go, the
rarified air of the first division
might be reached.

Might Snare Some
Although Texas and the Aggies
are expected to dominate
the S.W.C. meet this weekend at
Fayetteville, Rice should snare a
few first places. Unfortunately,
the team lacks depth. Dale Spence
should repeat as 880 champ. Dale

this year, but with a little competition

Intramurals for this school
year have almost run down with
only the badminton play-off remaining
between Ed Merritt and
Lorita Hoist of the Blue League
and Dale Miller and Ann Farmer
of the Gray League.
The Outlaws were champions
of Touch Football which had 22
teams and 214 participants and
also of softball which listed 12
teams and 148 players. The Outlaws
was the only team to take
two championships.
Jim Bower figures in 4 championships,
taking care of the golf
tournament and fall tennis singles
above and helping Ann
Farmer take mixed doubles plus
pulling for the Outlaws in Softball.
Ed Merritt is close on his heels
with a hand in 3 champs. Won
badminton singles, shared mixed
doubles with Lorita Hoist and
helped Bob Bland with handball
doubles. (Bob probably helped
Ed.)
Basketball
The Clown took the basketball
tournament which boasted the
largest number of participants—
244. They won over the field of
28 teams after being beaten in
the championship game last year.
The fall swimming meet
howed 10 participants which was
3 more than the spring meet. Volleyball
was up in numbers this
year with 78 guys and the Goblows
winning it. The track and
field meet had 25 and went off

The baseball players were
pretty bad sports about it though
as 15 of the liberty-thirsty students
were seriously injured.
According to the International
Union of Students, the situation
is so bad that classes throughout
Cuba have been suspended. (Apparently
this is the only way remaining
for Rice studerfts 4 to get
a holiday.)
