Junior Weekend Site is Rio Vista
The citizens of Hunt, Texas,
are girding themselves for an-
other encounter with Rice Insti-
tute rowdies; this year it is the
Class of 1958 which will head to
the hills for their weekend.
The Junior Class and guests
will live it up at Camp Rio Vista
on the beautiful Guadalupe River
from April twelfth to the four-
teenth.
The camp is very well equipped
for recreation, having three
places to swim, canoes for boat-
ing, a large number of tennis
courts, and many acres of Great
Outdoors for the Juniors to romp
in.
Faculty members Davies and
Kolenda will chaperone the group,
which is looking forward to the
famed Tarzan Swing Act of Doc-
tor Davies.
The camp will provide six
meals for the relaxing Riceites,
beginning with dinner on Friday
night. The cost for the weekend
is twelve dollars per person, and,
as an added inducement to class
unity and Junior boys' pocket-
books, the Junior girls are pay-
ing their own way. (Junior boys
are urged to consider this little
economy before asking ^ Lamar
girls for dates.)
A deposit of twelve dollars per
couple is to be made beginning
March 29, with the balance to be
paid by April 6.

CHARITY...
(Continued from Page 1)
to get water . . . some patients
never get well.
The children are the most
pathetic of all; in small crowded
nursery room, same sanitary pro-
blems. The babies are silent.
Their pleading, staring eyes are'
stronger than words and leave an
impression of guilt that points
right at you.
Next week when you are asked
to donate, try to make it a gen-
erous gift, it would be a long
time before a better or needier
project could have been found.
Remember, you don't have to de-
pend on the charity of others for
your drinking water. Give as
much as you can.

"You Are A Stranger Here But
Once."

A Campus-to-Career Case History
Al Morris (right) discusses a new amplifier system with Howard D. Thomas, one of his foremen.
"After training.. . it's up to you
That's what Alfred E. Morris says
about the Bell System. "And that's the
way I like it," he adds. "Right now
I'm in a job I didn't think I'd have for
ten or fifteen years."
The job A1 thought was more than
a decade away is Plant Superintendent
for the Hutchinson district in Kansas
with Southwestern Bell. "You can sum
up my work by saying I'm responsible
for the installation and maintenance of
all telephone equipment in a large part
of central Kansas," Al says. "In times
of emergency—a tornado, for instance—
I have complete charge of maintaining
and restoring service."
Here's how Al describes the steps that
led up to his present job: "I started out
in Bell's management training program
in 1951. This gave me an excellent
opportunity to learn about all jobs in
the company —not just the job I'd be
doing. The program was well organ-
ized, and I got a lot out of it.
"My first assignment was to coordi-
nate a dial conversion in La Crosse,
Kansas, a quarter-million-dollar opera-
tion. My next assignments were in
Abilene and Lawrence. Both carried in-
creased responsibility.
"I knew I was moving along pretty
fast—but I was really surprised when
my present job came up. It bears out
what my wife and I thought when I
joined Bell—there would be great
chances for advancement."
Al Morris graduated in 19S1 from the University of Kansas
with a B.S. in Industrial Management. He is typical of many
young men who are finding interesting career opportunities
in BdH Telephone Companies, Bell Telephone Laboratories,
Western Electric and Sandia Corporation. Your placement
officA has more information about these companies.
