Rice Host To Fifth
TISA Convention
By JONCE JOHNSON
This year, Rice Institute is very proud to be the host
school to the Fifth Annual Spring Convention of the Texas
Intercollegiate Student Association.
T.I.S.A. is a branch off of the National Student Associa-
tion. Its membership is comprised of thirty-four colleges in
Texas, and it has as its main
purpose the unification of stu-
dent government in Texas col-
leges.
There are ten T.I.S.A. districts,
with one school acting as chairman
of the district. The chairman school
is responsible for calling district
meeting's, informing member schools
of T.I.S.A. objectives and projects,
and coordinating member schools'
activities. Each district organizes
and carries out an annual T.I.S.A.
project.
The Executive Council meets in
October, and again in January to
discuss and decide upon questions
concerning membership, individual
school problems, district projects,
and plans for the annual spring
convention. The Executive Council
sponsors several publications, among
which are a quarterly newsletter
and the annual convention proceed-
ings.
The delegates to the spring con-
vention include all presidents of
the student government organiza-
tions on the various campuses, and
other delegates that these associa-
tions desire to send, particularly
chairmen of committees concerned
with problems to be discussed at
