lice Hopeful of Fiyettovifle
Victory; Cellar Teams To Play
By J. Fred Duekett
Peep in the tioldrums of a 5 game losing streak, longest
in 91 y^ars, the Bice Owls journey to Little Rock, Arkansas to
tang]$ with the erratic Arkansas Razorbacks.
The Owls will not be in top physical shape for this contest,
but several lineup changes may help. Quarterback Buddy Gran-
tham, is still out, as are ends
James Heflin and Sam Ward.
Halfback Dick Moegle is re-
covering from a badly gashed hand
and eannot play, and defensive half-
back Gordon Kellog, who suffered
a painful shoulder injury in the Wis-
consin game last week definitely
will not see action. Quarterback
^eroy Fenstemaker, who led the
Owls to their only score last week,
hurt his knee and ankle in scrim-
make Tuesday, an .injury which will
keep him inactive for two weeks.
However, all is not gloomy, as the
Owls welcome the return of full-
back Bob Garbrecht and tackle
James Timmons. Garbrecht was in-
jured in the SMU game where he
ran so well ,and Timmons has been
out with a shoulder injury since the
UCLA contest.
of the day Saturday, as Coach Neely
tries to replace his injured and find
a winning, combination. The coach
has figured out a "cruSher" back-
field that looks like a winner. Gar-
brecht will be at full, with Kosse
Johnson, the season's starting full-
back at right half, and soph Mbrris
Stone, fullback for the last two
weeks, at left half. Dan Drake con-
tinues to hold fortfi, but soph Atch-
ley Proctor has been impressive in
practice and will probably spell
Drake this week.
Several combinations have been
tried this week at defensive half-
back, with Lamoine Holland, R. J.
Schroeder, and Buzzy Bryan in
leading contention for Kellog's post.
Don Whittaker holds forth at right
defensive half. Billy Ed Daniels has
been working some as safety to

Phillips To Speak
On Race Problems
■*
By Jane Warner
Dr. Edward Phillips, assistant professor in history, the fifth
Fall Faculty Lecturer, whose talk, "The Problem of Race in the
World Today" will be held Sunday at 4 PM in the Lecture
Lounge, said he is not an authority on race problems. He then
started talking with authority.
Dr. Philips thinks the solving of
the international race problems
is important to world peace.
He plans to trace the historical
aspects of race, and he wants to
show the importance the conflicts
have in international relations.
As he does not consider himself
an authority, he does not plan to
speak on the race problems in the
U.S.: He wishes to show the inter-
national dangers of the clash be-
tween the race of Eastern Asia and
the people of Europe and North
America. As this continent and Af- 1
rica are the breeding spots for j
Communism, the U.S. should solve !
their problem as an example. Dr. !
Phillips said he was not optimistic- |
ally inclined on the subject of equali-
ty of the races.

Mewhinney Honored
At Special Review
Last Tuesday
Tuesday afternoon, November 4,
the midshipmen of the Naval ROTC
held a review in honor of Captain
L. S. Mewhinney, retiring Profes-
sor of Naval Science. Captain Me-
whinney is leaving Rice to assume
command of Transport Division 24.
United States Atlantic Fleet. His
successor is Captain Albert E. Jar-
roll, USN.
Among the many distingueshed
guests who wer-i present to pay hon-
or to the Captain were Dr. William
V. Houston, President of The Rice
Institute; former Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, Mark Edwin And-
rews; Mr. George R. Brown. Chair-
man of The Rice Institute Trustees;
General Gainer Jones, of the ROTC
Committee of The Rice Institute
and the Military Affairs Committee
of the Houston Chamber of Com-
merce.
This year, Mr. George R. Brown,
Chairman of The Rice Institute
Trustees, set up a ^scholarship in
his honor. Under Captain Mewhin-
ney's direction, the Naval unit has
grown from slightly under 200 to
285 midshipmen. His influence on
the Rice Institution campus has
been wide-spread and public rela-
tions for the Navy in Houston have
been stimulated greatly by his pres-
ence.
Student Council
(Continued from Page 1)
suggestion was to secure a volume
control gadget, set it on low, and
kee pthe noise down mechanically.
Such a remarkable decibel-destroyer
was priced by Lacy at only two bits
but was rather frowned upon by
Council members as a decided detri-
ment to the deaf students. Another
measure advanced was to put the
"thing" down by the Roost, in the
corner by that permanently-closed
door to t is coffee-factory. Lacy
checked on obtaining drapes for the
windows to provide the proper dark
atmosphere, and revealed that a
high-class drape could be procured
economically (with or without t e
Purena label inscribed on it). Some-
one pointed out that Rice girls
should know quite a bit about this
material, while another nature-
lover commented that such a popu-
lar cloth should be considered by
the Rondelet committee. Everyone
agreed that this dilemma requires
further probing and no definite ac-
tion was taken. Our personal opin-
ion of where to stick the TV set is
unprintable and so will remain un-
printed.
Traffic
John McLane reported from the
student Activities committee that
one-way traffic will soon invade our
cloistered roads. Also this commit-
tee reflected on our non-literary lit-
erary societies and were slightly
disturbed at this condition. Add to
this a non-rallying Rally Club and
a non-winning football team and
you have to admit things are tough
lol over.
Lefties
A sympathetic council member
observed that left-handed people
have one devil of a time writing on
all those right-handed chairs. An
alert member pointed oi'f that those
poor people wiuld find it much eas-.
ier writing on paper of some sort
but he was eased out of the door
still asleep. Let's hope this Leftist
trend in student government isn't
uncovered by Mr. McCarthy.
Vote
The council also voted approvaV-of
numerous bills, sought a delegation
to a TISA meeting in Denton, and
voted to hold the freshman election
on December 5. By the way, they're
voting for something or other to-
day, so we suggest you quit strain-
ing your eyes on this small print
and go vote.—WB "

Plan Varied
Activities
Beginning at 6 PM at Autry
HoUse on November 12, the Canter-
bury Club will sponsor a Chili Sup-
per with "atmosphere" for the sum*
of 50c. Also included on the pro-
gram are a floor show and a couple
of dances, where "prizes" will be
awarded to the lase able couples re-
maining on the floor. The Club
hopes to realize enough revenue on
the affair to finance the rehabili-
tation of some of A-House's facili-
ties as student projects.
The invitation is to all Rice stu-
dents and invitations have already
been extended to the lits and mem-
bers of the Student Religious Coun-
cil. It is hoped that at least 125 stu-
dents will attend, remembering to
study at the library and then have
supper at 6:00.
November 9 at' 4 PM, the club
will have a regular meeting at A-
House to elect a Vice-president,
vote on its Constitution, and theflp
perhaps have a sneak preview of
the floor show while eating supper.
Dancing afterwards.
