16 Co-eds Must Sign
For Scouts' Course
The Woman's council is still undo- j
cided about adopting a Qirl Scout
Leadership course at Rice Institute. If
16 girls or more are interested in this
courge, then the council will undertake
to bring Miss Anne Roos of the Na-
tional Girl Scout headquarters at New
York, to instruct co-eds.
The course consists of scout train-
ing for an hour every day for a week,
at the end of which girls will be made
captains or lieutenants as the case
may be, and will have scout troops
Under their direction in Houston or in
the vicinity of Houston. This course
is especially advantageous to girls
with the intention of teaching, since
credit for this scout leadership course
may be turned in with other credits,
and thus enable them to obtain posi-
tions easily.
No Saturday Dance
Tomorrow,-Barton
That there will be no Saturday night
dance this week inasmuch as the Ral-
ly club break training affair is set
for tomorrow was announced Friday
morning by N. P. Barton Jr., presi-
dent of the students' association.
Last week's dance cleared expenses,
and an almost exclusively Rice crowd
was on hand, Barton stated.
The bid system will continue in ef-
fect at the weekly dances, held at the
Houston club. The next one is sched-
uled Saturday, December 5, at 9 p. m.
Plus ten knickers, popular styles.
