Five students, three of them
on athletic scholarships, were
admitted to Rice as undergrad-
uates to begin classes at mid-
term. This is the largest num-
ber of students ever admitted
on a mid-year basis.
The students, two of them on
football scholarships from
Houston Austin, the third a
trackman from Houston Lee
also under athletic scholarship,
a transfer student, and a Rice
professor's daughter, are all
taking at least four courses,
according to Bernard Giles, Di-
rector of Admissions.
Not Unusual
Mid-term admissions at Rice
are not entirely new. Giles said
that in six of his eight years'
experience here there have been
one or more students admitted
at mid-term, though never as
many as five at a time. He also

Let's talk about a career at Boeing...
50-year leader in aerospace technology
Campus Interviews Thursday, February 17
The most effective way to evaluate a com-
pany in terms of its potential for dynamic
career growth is to examine its past rec-
ord, its current status, and its prospects
and planning for the future, together with
the professional climate it offers for the
development of your individual capabilities.
Boeing, which in 1966 completes 50 years
of unmatched aircraft innovation and pro-
duction, offers you career opportunities as
diverse as its extensive and varied back-
log. Whether your interests lie in the field
of commercial jet airliners of the future or
in space-flight technology, you can find at
Boeing an opening which combines profes-
sional challenge and long-range stability.
The men of Boeing are today pioneering
evolutionary advances in both civilian and
military aircraft, as well as in space pro-
grams of such historic importance as
America's first moon landing. Missiles,
space vehicles, gas turbine engines, trans-
port helicopters, marine vehicles and basic
research are other areas of Boeing activity.
There's a spot where your talents can
mature and grow at Boeing, in research,
%lsign, test, manufacturing or administra-
tion. The company's position as world
leader in jet transportation provides a
measure of the -calibre of people with
whom you would work. In addition, Boeing
people work in small groups, where initia-
tive and ability get maximum exposure.
Boeing encourages participation in the
company-paid Graduate Study Program at
leading colleges and universities near
company installations.
We're looking forward to meeting engi-
neering, mathematics and science seniors
and graduate students during our visit to
your campus. Make an appointment now
at your placement office. Boeing is an
equal opportunity employer.

pointed out that the Univetrsity
makes no effort to solicit ap-
plications for enrollment at
mid-term.
The preponderance of athletes
was attributed to the unwilling-
ness of many top athletes grad-
uating at mid-term to delay
college matriculation until the
next fall for various reasons.
In some cases, to compete for
the services of an athlete the
Athletic Department must
either seek the prospect's ad-
mission to Rice at mid-term or
lose him. Where it is possible
and advisable, the necessary
exceptions are made.
Not Just Athletes
The question has been raised
that if exceptions can be made
for athletes and other cases of
special concern to the Univer-
sity, why aren't exceptions be-
ing made for scholars ?
University sources, while
allowing that the existing situa-
tion may suggest discrimina-
tion, pointed out that it did not
necessarily indicate that there
was discrimination against any
qualified scholar wishing to en-
roll at mid-term. Rather, most
qualified scholars prefer to wait
until fall.
More in Future?
Giles indicated that indepen-
dently initiated scholastic in-
quiries unrelated to University
interest have been received,"but
could not say how many. Each
case is decided on its own
merits, he added.
When asked if the new "trail-
er" arrangement of courses
might encourage more and more
qualified scholastic applicants
to seek mid-term enrollment,
Giles commented that this was
possible. He said that such cases
for the time being would still
be dealt with as exceptions to
established policy, and that a
Presidential study and ruling
on the problem would have to
precede any change in mid-term
enrollment policy.
Gems Displayed

uncut gems and antique jew-
elry will be shown in the Fon-
