The Rice Player's production of James Saunders. Bodies drags through the first act a problem due mostly to Wheat direction. But during the second act, the pace picks up and in fact salvages the play bodies is a play that raises some interesting questions about values and meaning

00:00:16.209 - 00:00:32.159

the stop and start action. In act one is too disjointed and Hal Coleman is Mervin is the only convincing actor Lee Chilton and Karen Schultz who played David and Helen seem faintly uneasy in their roles. And Angela Roberts says Anne Mervin's wife is strong in some

00:00:32.169 - 00:00:52.240

spots and weak in others. Chuck May's four part set is appropriately tune like and very homey. Laura Cole's costumes are somewhat monochromatic variations on Olive Drab but still plausible. The accents are understandably British and the lights by Bill Bray are admirable bodies runs through Saturday, March

00:01:18.989 - 00:01:38.610

class. A bawdy tale about the scheming of two married women who want to be married but also remain chased. FTA is a conceited noble man who becomes their unwilling duke and the consequences are often hilarious Baker's production of the merry wives was excellent with good acting

00:01:38.860 - 00:01:55.809

and a fast pace that kept the audience fascinated. The setting was rather bare though as instead of the usual ornate stage setting, one associated with Shakespearean drama, they were just white prisms and cubes which were shuffled around the stage. If you need a good study break.

00:01:55.819 - 00:02:26.029

This week, the merry wives of Windsor provides an excellent evening's entertainment. The play is running till Saturday and you can call 6617477 for reservations. That was Shana Sharif for K T R U Chicago is a fun entertaining musical which amuses even the hardiest skeptic. The musical

00:02:26.039 - 00:02:42.669

comedy is set in the carefree 20 s the time of vaudeville, Estra Vagana and the big band. The show opens with Roxy Hart played by Cindy Winkler murdering her lover Fred Casey in a fit of revenge. Then after much Fanling with her nerdy husband, Amos to

00:02:42.679 - 00:02:59.529

raise the needed money to get out of jail, she engages the service of a Billy Flynn acted by Ronnie Siegel. Chicago's famous trial lawyer who gets everyone off the hook, aided by the story concocted by Billy Flynn. Roxy becomes an immediate sensation which she plans to

00:02:59.539 - 00:03:16.740

take advantage of on a tour after the trial, whether Roxy will escape the hangman's rope is never much in doubt. But the subplots and characterization keeps the audience on its toes. Several actors turned in remarkable performances. Jim Baer's characterization of Ama's heart was close to perfection.

00:03:16.979 - 00:03:34.910

David Wick's portrayal of Miss Mary Sunshine. The gossip columnist was especially humorous and Elaine Levi's Matre Mama Morton was a real crowd pleaser. Sarah Brock as the crusty V M. Kelly whose thunder stolen from her by Roxy plays the part to the hilt. Winkler is a

00:03:34.919 - 00:03:51.059

fine actress but her singing was weak in some of her solos. She performed best alongside Brock, their voice and styles. Compliment each other. Brock had one of the stronger voices in the cast and she used it well. Segel's performance as Billy Flynn was credible and convincing.

00:03:51.520 - 00:04:09.020

Christie May's choreography was imaginative within traditional bounds, but the dancers could have used more energy. However, the male choirs worked well together as a group and the orchestra kept the jazz beat well and the costumes were suitable. Chicago is good solid entertainment. It runs Friday and

00:04:09.029 - 00:04:31.519

Saturday of this week. Doors open at 7 45 PM at Wiis College. This is Cathy Brown for K news. The Proctor of Rice University won't be hearing any court cases for the next few days as Doctor Edward Holt is in the hospital for tests and observations.

for K D U sports. The Rice is baseball team did it again taking two or three games from Texas Tech over the weekend. It was the second consecutive series win for the Owls since they took two or three from Arkansas. A week earlier, Rice took the

00:05:02.299 - 00:05:16.809

first game 23 to 4 on Saturday in an awesome offensive display. Tim England got his fourth win without a loss and he was supported by 23 hits including home runs by Mark Maley Jay Booth, Scott Johnson, Mike Fox and two by Dave Edwards. Unfortunately, the Owls

00:05:16.820 - 00:05:29.149

couldn't save any of that offense for Sunday's first game as the Red Raiders want a 43 squeaker Don Smi to get his second straight tough loss in relief. Rice rebounded to win in the second game 7 to 2 as David Henricks won his seventh game against

00:05:29.160 - 00:05:42.040

00:07:20.299 - 00:07:33.829

as well. The men will be off this week except for a non scoring dual meet against the rise of the North Harvard. Before the women's competition on Saturday, the University of Miami was an easy win in the Rice invitational tennis tournament last weekend because the Hurricanes

00:07:33.839 - 00:07:48.380

were both 1st and 2nd individually in the singles. The farthest advancing rice player was trash cushing who made it all the way to the semi finals. When, before a large pro rice crowd, he lost to eventual runner up Christoph Stein of Miami. Overall. Rice finished sixth

00:07:48.390 - 00:08:02.260

out of nine schools. The Rice women ranked 19th in the nation in division one lost a tough 63 Southwest conferences match to 16 th ranked Texas on Saturday at Rice. The Owls and Longhorns split the six singles matches but Texas took all three of the Devils

00:08:02.269 - 00:08:15.899

00:08:27.880 - 00:08:53.409

on Wednesday. I'm Jonathan Sad with K T R Use force. Edward Heath was at Rice University yesterday to discuss the European view of American foreign policy. He thought America had an obsession with communism and needed to have a working policy about them. Europe being much nearer

00:08:53.419 - 00:09:12.890

the Soviets and having lived through all the stages of communism was much more concerned with cooperation than the US. He gave the oil pipeline incident as an example. He also said the USSR is in a very vulnerable position right now being bogged down in Afghanistan as

00:09:12.900 - 00:09:33.450

America was in Vietnam in the 60 s negotiations over arms will only be possible. He said if both superpowers accept parity once sold, one and two were made, they were kept. He said the United States should try to negotiate an arms and agreement as the people

00:09:33.460 - 00:09:56.250

of Western Europe would only accept the installation of nuclear missiles on their soil if they were completely convinced that attempts for an agreement had failed. However, he thought nuclear, a nuclear freeze was unrealistic. He blamed high interest rates in the US for causing economic problems worldwide.

00:09:56.400 - 00:10:13.840

He then discussed the problems developing countries were having with their economies and said that the Western world had an obligation to bail them out if only for the high investments that their banks had in the developing countries. He thought that any changes for the better in

00:10:13.849 - 00:10:37.280

economic or foreign policy will only be possible if Europe, Japan and the United States work together for them. That was Shelia Sharif for K T R U. Doctor Edward Holt, the University Proctor and professor of civil engineering at Rice University underwent triple bypass heart surgery on

00:10:37.289 - 00:10:54.989

Monday after being admitted to a hospital last week for tests and observation. The successful surgery was performed at ST Luke's Hospital where Holt is currently convalescing. Professor Frederick Wire of the mechanical engineering department will act as interim Proctor during Holt's recovery and Dr Holt should be

00:10:55.000 - 00:11:11.809

back at the job of University Proctor in the fall. This is David Tuttle for K News. Jonathan sat over K T U sports. The Rice Isles baseball team did it again over the weekend winning another Southwest conference series this time from Baylor. The Isles won the

00:11:11.820 - 00:11:23.690

first game 9 to 4 on Friday. Then split Saturday's double header, losing the opener 6 to 2 and winning the finale 17 to 8 timing. The conference leader in strikeouts was a double winner going all the way on Friday and picking up and winning relief in

00:11:23.700 - 00:11:35.289

the third game stretching his record to 6 to 0. Derek Hoser started that game but he was knocked out of the box in the second inning giving up six runs. However, trailing 8 to 5 in the seventh inning, Rice put on an amazing 10 run rally

00:11:35.299 - 00:11:46.880

kept by Dave Evans three run home run. None of the 10 runs were unearned. David Hendrix got his second loss versus seven wins in the first game price has now won three out of four conference series and this one put the Owls in a three way

00:11:46.890 - 00:11:58.979

tie with the Bears and the Arkansas Razorbacks who swept Texas A and M. The three are at six and six in conference and in third place while Texas taking two from Texas Christian losing to third despite a one hitter by Calvin CDI has a lead at

00:11:58.989 - 00:12:10.549

5 to 1. Houston shocked by losing two out of three to former seller D at Texas Tech and drops in the second at seven and two. C improved to sixth at four and five. Tech is now seventh at three and six. And Texas A and M

00:12:10.559 - 00:12:22.760

00:12:22.770 - 00:12:34.409

Lamar raising their season record at 27 8 and one. Rice then starts a two week road trip with a trip to Huntsville in a rematch with N I A N I A I A power Sam Houston to play a game and finish the suspending game from

00:12:34.419 - 00:12:47.080

the Cameron tournament on Friday. It's game versus Texas, Arlington and Arlington and then a Saturday double header in a Sunday game will be against PC U which should go a long way in deciding 3rd and 4th places in the conference and then South conference baseball tournament

00:12:47.090 - 00:13:01.440

qualifiers. The Rice women's track team came up with a good result at their own rice invitational track meet. Finishing sixth with National Power Houston winning this week. It's the Texas relays at Austin, one of the most prestigious events in the nation. Monique Miller larger and DEA

00:13:01.539 - 00:13:14.890

Lewis have excellent chances and they have Palo 100 m and 1500 m respectively. World class shot putter, Regina Cavanaugh may participate but a minor back injury may cause her to sit this one out. The men are also going to Texas relays and several of them have

00:13:14.900 - 00:13:29.869

excellent chances. Vice Cor will be in the top quality imitation of 100 m while Southwest conference champion Paul Brat Love will face excellent competition in the pole vault going guide Jerry Fuqua and William Moore looking for personal records in their events and the 400 m and

00:13:29.880 - 00:13:43.549

sprint relay relay team should be competitive. The men's tennis team continues their action with the match versus Saint Edwards on Monday in the Southwest conferences match against Arkansas on Thursday, both at J S 10 Stadium. Excuse me, the men lost 8 200 in Texas A and

00:13:43.559 - 00:13:58.030

M last week but the lone is victory was in another upset by Trace Cushing this time knocking off Ryan Jolson. However, Cushing and Don to Moscow continue to hold their number 29 ranking national and Devils, the women continue to smash national power after national power because

00:13:58.039 - 00:14:11.099

this time the number 19 th ranked Alice's edge perennial power. So the method is 5 to 4, the three in one conference record and 16 and three overall record. The Hows avenged one of those three losses with the victory over S M U. Now in second

00:14:11.109 - 00:14:24.760

00:14:54.179 - 00:15:11.789

Saturday morning. I'm Jonathan South with K R U sports. This Saturday will see the annual running of the beer bike race. Contrary to popular relief, this race will not be Sunday. A change in the race day was considered because Saturday is the MC A T test

00:15:11.799 - 00:15:25.760

date and this test would prevent involvement from students preparing to take the test. However, it was decided to keep Saturday as race day. One proposal that did go through is the inclusion of a woman on a men's bike team. The case in question involved a Wool

00:15:25.770 - 00:15:39.390

Rice student who at times that would qualify her for the men's team. The Rice Program Council Beer Bike Committee decide to allow the student to choose which team you want to race on. So Saturday, we'll see a co ed. Will Rice men's bike team for the

00:15:39.400 - 00:15:56.669

uninitiated. Each leg of the men's race consists of two laps of the bike circuit. Each lack of the Hackerman field circuit is approximately one half mile long after a rider is finished. Achuar must then consume 24 ounces of beer cleanly before the next rider begins for

00:15:56.679 - 00:16:16.489

under age CHG 24 ounces of water is substituted. This continues until 10 chu and bikers have finished. Each team will consist of 10 chugging and 10 riders along with two alternates also included, will be five pitch, crew, crew persons and two captains and a mechanic and

00:16:16.500 - 00:16:35.419

photographer can also be included for a maximum number of people on each team of 33. Several new restrictions this year should be noted. First of all, protective cycling headgear must be worn by all riders while they are riding. Also chugging of legal drinking age must chug

00:16:35.429 - 00:16:53.940

beer while chugging that are under age must chug water. And finally, all riders must wear numbers indicating the participation order for that team with one being for the first rider and 10 for the last several seven second penalties have been determine. First of all, any intentional

00:16:53.950 - 00:17:11.180

or extensive spillage by a beer chugging will result in a seven second penalty. Also any rider crossing the starting line before the chugging is finished. Any interference of one team by another, any chugging beginning to chud too early or any excessive weaving or riders crossing the

00:17:11.189 - 00:17:29.109

inner white line. The team roster was already been in for a week prior to the beer bike race day and lane assignments have already been determined with in the men's race. Hansom being in the first lane, Sid Rich in the second lane, Lovett in the third

00:17:29.119 - 00:17:43.939

lane. The fourth lane will have the graduate student association. The fifth lane will have will Rice College. Sixth lanes will see Jones College. We will be in the seventh lane and Baker College will be in eighth and lane eight in the women's race. Jones will be

in the lane one, Wool Rice Commons will be college will be in lane two, Hanson will be in lane three, Lovett and Brown will be 4th and 5th respectively and Baker will be in lane sixth. The lane assignments rotate chill here with the team as being

00:17:59.219 - 00:18:13.670

in the first lane getting the farthest lane and the other team subsequently moving into the first lane. As a reminder, the alumni race will be at two pm. Saturday, the women's race at 2 30 the men's race will be at three PM. This has been Dan

00:18:13.680 - 00:18:33.819

Granik reporting for K T R U news. If one word were to describe the poetry exhibited by Allen Ginsburg Monday night, it would be change specifically the change associated with maturity. The renowned beatnik poet, Red sang and shouted a sample of his works from the late

00:18:33.829 - 00:18:50.810

fifties and from recent years on stage with Ginsburg were an antique harmonium of small vase of flowers incense and his trademark finger symbols. The early works, praise rebellion, unbridled heiress, and the glorious bohemian style of living because I used to be a communist when I was

00:18:50.819 - 00:19:18.589

a kid and I'm not sorry, I smoke marijuana every chance I get, I sit in my house for days on end the roses and the father I made up this trouble. You should have seen me reading Karl Marx was right. I say Lord I have while

00:19:18.599 - 00:19:54.000

the recent works such as Plutonian o more faithfully imitate the sweeping style of Ginsburg's Idol, William Blake from here in, in the pit of so delivery. What stars Flo is, I celebrate a matter that renders self after the concert. I had a most enlightening discussion with

00:19:54.010 - 00:20:08.979

Ginsburg about the theories of poetry and politics. I read recently that there's a group of people who are saying that a poet has to be a revolutionary today. There's no other way you can be a poet. Is that true? Well, it depends what you mean by

00:20:08.989 - 00:20:24.540

the word revolutionary. I'd like to know what they mean by that phrase, the word. No, no, no, I don't believe in violence myself. I think that's a war and I think that's, I think violence is counter revolutionary as far as psychological and attitudinal and emotional revolution.

00:20:24.560 - 00:20:46.699

I think what we need is psychological revolution in the sense that a new world is also a new mind or as Blake says, the eye altering alters all much too general. A poet should be more, more grounded, I would say than to use words loosely revolutionary

00:20:46.709 - 00:21:06.930

in the sense that if we continue in our present capitalist communist conflict path, we just use up earth's resources and blow ourselves up. So the present status quo is in a sense, suicidal violence and nasty. And so that has to be changed. The best thing a

00:21:06.939 - 00:21:20.920

poet can do is clarify his own mind and heart. Should the change come gradually or by force or as it should, the change should not come by any should, it should come. And as soon as, as soon as you put a should on it, you've got

00:21:20.930 - 00:21:41.959

a dictatorship. So let's have that ended with the should itself is a contradiction. Ginsburg is on a tour of campuses around the country to promote his new record, original blues for K T R U News. I'm Dave Collins. Hello, I'm Jonathan Zad for K T R

their ninth consecutive victory over the Frogs and complete the series sweep in the second game. Rice tied the all time conference mark with 26 hits in one game and the 11 in the opener gave Rice a total of 37 on the day 11 more on Sunday

00:22:19.180 - 00:22:33.359

brought the all toll to 48 for 13 game conference series, perhaps a conference record. The series raised Rice's team batting average to 3 29 to go along with Rice's number seven national ranking in fielding and number three national ranking in earned run average, Dave Edwards and

00:22:33.369 - 00:22:46.709

00:23:21.739 - 00:23:34.130

standings in the conference before the tournament. The Alvin Horns played a single game Friday night and a double header on Saturday in Austin. The men's track team came off a good performance at the Texas relays. The sprint medley finished close second to Arkansas, one of the

00:23:34.140 - 00:23:48.000

nation's premier relay teams. Guang Guy nearly broke the four minute mile finishing second in the event with a four oh one while Vince Coville beat a host of outstanding sprinters in winning the invitational 100 m. Coach Steve Straub now believes that Cordell ranks among the top

00:23:48.010 - 00:24:00.390

00:24:28.310 - 00:24:41.020

their record two and four in conference play. The women did the same thing knocking out the strong Cougar women's team 5 to 4. The win gave the Isles a five in one match play record in conference after crushing Texas tech nine to nothing and overall their

for K T I U Sports Rice Isles and the Houston Astros were a lot alike this past week because they all scored just enough runs to lose all three games of their series detector. Texas won Friday's game 4 to 3 to hand him England his first

00:27:49.979 - 00:28:03.020

loss of the year against seven wins while Dave Palace went down on Saturday's opener 7 to 6 and David Hendrix got the loss on Saturday's finale by the score of you guessed it 3 to 2. Hence, despite the fact that Rice has only outscored 14 11

00:28:03.030 - 00:28:16.209

in the series, they lost all three games with Arkansas's two victories in three games against Texas tech. The Razorbacks jumped into third place. The game had a Rice at 10 and eight in conference. Rice fell back to fourth at 99 32 11 and two on the

00:28:16.219 - 00:28:28.390

00:29:38.949 - 00:29:53.369

will be going to the N C A outdoor track and field meet in June also at Robertson Stadium. Guy also won the 5000 m. Terry Jones also did the same qualifying in 100 m with a personal record 10.3 3/2 seconds better than his old mark. He

00:31:51.699 - 00:32:06.060

schools when it visits Rice in the academic year. In 1984 1985 the committee is charged with the examination of university goals to see if they will continue to serve for the next decade to study where we are and where we could be finding the strengths, the

00:32:06.069 - 00:32:22.050

weaknesses and the opportunities also to be considered by the committee are the accreditation criteria of the visiting committee. The self study should be comprehensive. It should have a broad involvement of every segment of the college community. It should be analytical, identifying institutional strengths and weaknesses. It

00:32:22.060 - 00:32:36.339

should present recommendations designed to remedy weaknesses identified by the self study and it should project the institution into the future, identifying short and long range concerns and goals of the institution. The summer of 84 we'll see that the report is produced with a report to the

00:32:36.349 - 00:32:50.859

S A CS in September of 84 the accreditation visit of the S A CS will be in January of 85. Rice's last formal self study occurred 10 years ago and resulted in the publication self study. January 1974 for K T R News. This is Ben Deb

00:32:51.010 - 00:33:11.609

Remer, K T R news brings you a special report. PGS and Republicans, a perspective on a college political battle. The following is an analysis and includes some necessary interpretation by the reporter. This is a battle being waged on many fronts, both at a local and a

00:33:11.619 - 00:33:30.819

national level and both on college campuses and in federal courts. The two sides are as follows. One, the PGS PG stands for public interest research groups. These groups exist on many college campuses across the country. Their goal to help students as consumers and to fight unfair

00:33:30.829 - 00:33:48.699

practices. They're looked on as a cross between a better Business bureau and Nader's Raiders. In fact, Ralph Nader himself came to Houston about a year ago, sponsored by the Rice University Chapter of the Texas PG. The status of PG, both in Texas and across the country

00:33:48.709 - 00:34:03.959

has been shaky of late with the rice peg, the only one in Texas to receive direct student funding. In fact, in recent years, the Rice Chapter of the Texas public interest research group known as TEX PG has come under fire to be disbanded or stripped of

00:34:03.969 - 00:34:22.350

its financial backing. This year is no exception here at Rice, but the story has taken on a different twist because of the Republicans. The Republicans are the College Republican National Committee C R N C. They have started a nationwide fight against PGS and their goal is

00:34:22.360 - 00:34:39.739

to see PGS eliminated from every college campus in the United States. The biggest fight currently is in New Jersey where a federal court case is still in progress. The C RNC claims that PGS violate the first amendment right of free speech by supporting partisan causes. While

00:34:39.750 - 00:34:57.280

pg's counter stating that they serve all people no matter their political beliefs, the New Jersey case was actually decided a while back in favor of the PGS. But an appellate court negated that ruling, forcing a retrial. Now that you know, something of the national situation, we'll

00:34:57.290 - 00:35:14.320

focus our attention to a particular University. Of course, this will be Rice University where the Rice Republicans are squaring off against Tur in several different ways. First, some local history, the Rice Chapter of Tex Per was created in the early 70 s to serve in the

00:35:14.330 - 00:35:30.479

interest of the rice community. At the time of their founding TEX PER was allocated by the university president a blanket tax or a fee assessed to each student to fund the organization. This fee was reaffirmed in the late seventies by a popular student vote. But since

00:35:30.489 - 00:35:50.610

then, things have been shaky. A movement started in 1980 to disband Teber but this was thwarted and Teber was given another chance. However, in 1982 an attempt was made to remove Tex's funding because of mismanagement. This referendum failed leaving TKS with their money. Now, in 1983

00:35:50.620 - 00:36:08.300

there's a new movement underfoot with a different twist. Instead of attacking the PGS on campus. The college Republicans are taking their case to federal courts to have their PGS removed from under the students. This brings us to the present and the latest scene of battle. On

00:36:08.310 - 00:36:27.260

Monday of this week, the Rice Student Association hosted an open forum to discuss the local issue. The Rice Chapter of Tex Per was represented by Dwayne Pryor, the new newly elected chairman and Marlon Barnett, the outgoing chairman on the other side was Greg Vint, President of

00:36:27.270 - 00:36:44.570

the Rice Republicans and main antagonist to have Tex Per disbanded. The meeting started with Mister Vin outlining the reasons why he thinks Tex Per should be done away with. Vint claimed that the funding mechanism blanket tax of TKS at Rice is unconstitutional by violating the first

00:36:44.580 - 00:37:01.949

amendment. Vince cited the New Jersey case as reason to disband Teber although that case is still pending and the New Jersey School Rutgers is public while Rice is a private institution. Vint also pointed out faults in the optional refund system offered at Rice. A student at

00:37:01.959 - 00:37:19.800

Rice is allowed a refund of his funding of Tex on demand. And in fact, Greg Vint did ask for and receive his refund but he felt Tex per was being evasive and misleading in their refund policy presumably to keep more money. Vin also cited a pro

00:37:19.810 - 00:37:41.000

nuclear freeze speech that Tex funded calling it a partisan and therefore if not illegal, maybe immoral use of tex funds also a loan to United Campuses to prevent nuclear war known as UCA for publicity purposes. This loan of about $50 was paid back and discrepancies within

00:37:41.010 - 00:37:59.030

the executive board such as spending money without the board's approval and the ignorance of some board members as to when or where meetings were held to sum up. Vint claimed that Tex Perk was using money in highly unethical if not illegal unquote acts and on that

00:37:59.040 - 00:38:18.770

basis. He asked for the following. OK. What I'd like is the S A to investigate all these charges that I wanted, I wanted to see a complete audit of the entire books. And I'd like to see questioning of all of their activities this year and the

00:38:18.780 - 00:38:44.500

revocation of their charter and the Blank attacks. Pry The current head of Turd responded to the charges by stating that corrections were already underway. Every criticism Greg has come up with. So far, the board had already been moving to make corrections to the problems. Former Tur

00:38:44.510 - 00:39:04.270

Chairman Barnett clarified some particular accusations such as the $300 that VINT claimed was used for a nuclear free speech was in fact used for a nuclear freeze debate which represented both sides of the issue. At this point. Barnett made another statement, I would view burg's activities

00:39:04.280 - 00:39:16.370

as being in the realm of student government and I would hope that that when this is all over, we're going to have a strong statement to the students and the administration have rise in support of student government. And to be totally honest, I sort of see

00:39:16.379 - 00:39:31.139

what gray is doing as trying to circumvent student government. He's fully aware of the avenues open to him to try to change text. He's mentioned from the article on that there is a possibility of getting up a referendum. He also is probably aware since he probably

00:39:31.149 - 00:39:43.000

read the S A constitution since he decided to run for Tex chairman. He's probably aware that the S A has oversight in and you should have been aware that you could have brought composed to the S A. Um he's chosen so far to try to not

00:39:43.010 - 00:39:58.469

deal with these avenues and essentially take it to the US District Court. And to be honest, I'd like to see student affairs decided by the students of R and not by federal courts. What Greg Vent is doing is discussing with lawyers of the possibility of a

00:39:58.479 - 00:40:14.709

lawsuit against the Rice Techs and Rice University. Much like the New Jersey case. This would effectively take the case out of the hands of the students of Rice University and put it in federal court all this before coming to the Student Association, Dwayne Pryor asked Greg

00:40:14.719 - 00:40:31.409

Vent, why he did this? Did you choose to go through legal avenues and so many avenues open to a concerned right? Student in changing student organizations, particularly blank tech organizations, you can go through the Student Association, you can go through referendums. You can come to us

00:40:31.419 - 00:40:49.330

personally, you can come to our board meetings. It's easier to do what I'm doing. But indeed, Vint had ample opportunity to air his negative views. For only two months ago. He the president of the Rice Republicans ran for the office of the chairmanship of Tex Per

00:40:49.949 - 00:41:10.870

Vint was asked numerous times at the meeting, why he ran for the office and why he waited until now to air his grievances. His reply, I wasn't aware of the last year. And of course, that was my first year. And why I waited until after the

00:41:10.879 - 00:41:28.300

election is they would, if I had won, I would have destroyed them next fall. No mention of his desire to kill Tur was found in his campaign letter to the student newspaper. So he lost the election and now he seeks to kill Tex Per in another

00:41:28.310 - 00:41:45.159

fashion, if not by students. Then by federal court, another attempt was made a year ago to strip tks of its funding. And the man who attempted it is Daniel Hu and he came to Monday's meeting in defense of Teber. He summarized the reason why Republicans here

00:41:45.169 - 00:42:03.280

and across the country are using the federal courts. The administration sees the possibility of being sued any sort of lawsuit. They will stop clamp down on the organization involved or the people involved. So in this case, should Greg file his lawsuit? He will effectively kill Texex

00:42:03.310 - 00:42:22.300

Per. At this point, the Student Association Senate voted 16 0 and one to advise the administration of Rice University that if a lawsuit does arise to wait for student interaction to decide the issue. You see the lawsuit as the Republicans Trump card. In fact, a memo

00:42:22.310 - 00:42:39.800

circulated to college Republicans across the country stated that to do away with public interest research groups, the thing to do is hint at a lawsuit. So that's where it stands now, the lawsuit may come over the summer and if it does happen, all Teber can do

00:42:39.860 - 00:42:57.689

is hope that the administration waits until August when the students of Rice University can decide what to do. This has been a K T R U special report. I'm David Tuttle. Hello. I'm Jonathan for K T U sports. Last week, I said that the only way

00:42:57.699 - 00:43:09.929

for the Rice all baseball team to not make the conference tournament with two victories out of three against Texas A and M was for some pretty peculiar things that happened. Well, last week, some pretty peculiar things happened in the South West conference baseball. The ows did

00:43:09.939 - 00:43:20.760

win two out of three from the Yankees as Tim England won the first game in the series 5 to 3 in dramatic fashion running his record to 91 tied 3 to 3 in the bottom of the ninth, the first two Owls made out and then Jay

00:43:20.770 - 00:43:35.860

Bluth slapped the single to right after the plate slipped Clinton Welch at 5 £845 while the Owl's least powerful hitter using a strong wind to lift. However, Welch got a hold of a fast ball from Robert Slavi and smashed a game winning two run home run

00:43:35.870 - 00:43:47.810

on the first pitch. It was Welch's first home run ever in a Rice uniform on Sunday. David Hendrix picked up his ninth win of the season against three losses, beating a and M 4 to 2. The third game, the tail end of Sunday's double header was

00:43:47.820 - 00:44:00.070

not so nice as A and M slugged 15 base hits and outscored Rice 8 to 6. John Oldfield even his record at one on one with a loss in relief. The series left Rice at 34 12 and two on the year. The third straight year that

00:44:00.080 - 00:44:12.070

Rice has won 34 games in the coach hall in the regular season and 11 and 10 in conference currently tied for fourth with Baylor. There was the Bears that did the peculiar things last week. They shocked the University of Houston ranked 17th in the nation by

00:44:12.080 - 00:44:24.580

sweeping the three game series from the Cougars something that Baylor has not done all year. Houston playing a school that gave up 10 runs and 1 82 Rice couldn't even score that many for the entire series. Houston dropped to 11 and seven on the season and

00:44:24.590 - 00:44:38.290

conferences played these losses falling behind 13 and eight. Arkansas who swept Texas Christian three straight. Should Houston playing number one nationally ranked Texas this weekend lose all three games of that series and the Cougars Owls and Bars would all be tied for third with 11 and

00:44:38.300 - 00:44:50.699

10 records. The tie break determined the 3rd and 4th placed team. So the conferences tournament would be the composite record between the three, the odd man out in this case would be you guessed it, Rice, who's two and four is below that of Houston's three and

00:44:50.709 - 00:45:02.340

three and Bays four and two. If Houston does get one win, then the Owls and Bears will be tied for fourth and then the Owls will win the spot since they beat Bay two out of three earlier this season. Meanwhile, Texas clinched the tournament spot and

00:45:02.350 - 00:45:14.199

a tie for the conference title with a sweep over Texas Tech should rise, make it to the tournament and then a few warrant games will be scheduled for next week. The men's track team competed in immediate wake on Friday night running mostly relays. They always when

00:45:14.209 - 00:45:26.939

the sprint Midland did well in the 4 40 sprint relay. Paul Brat Law vaulted 17 ft three and three quarters inches tied for best with Bay's Todd Cooper by placing second on more misses who was also just a quarter of an inch short from qualifying for

00:45:26.949 - 00:45:41.469

the NCAA meet. Next are the prestigious Drake relays and coach Steve Straw will takes some relay teams. Brat Lough and distance runner William Moore Straw was not pleased to report however, that Jerry Fuqua is still drove by a mysterious malady which learns to prevent him from

00:45:41.479 - 00:45:55.860

running for the rest of this season. His final year of eligibility at Rice. The tennis teams competed at the Southwest Conference tournaments at Corpus Christi this past weekend and then finished up the season seventh and remained there after the tournament. Every Rice singles and doubles match

00:45:55.870 - 00:46:09.030

was lost in the first round except for Trace Cushing's victory over Peter Dohan of Arkansas at number one singles and Fred Grain's defeat of Eric Van Hoff of Southern Methodist at number five singles. Cushing then lost in the semi finals with Rodney Harman of S M

00:46:09.040 - 00:46:23.820

U, the eventual team champion and the eventual singles champion and one of the nation's best collegiate players in three sets. The women also stayed in second place as three hours advance of their finals. Tamara, Ray Wendy Brockman and Eileen Carri all made it to the lower

00:46:23.830 - 00:46:37.439

three singles finals but each lost to a University of Texas player in the finals. Texas won the overall championship ahead of Rice after his, their results cushing will probably be ranked in the forties nationally while a doubles team of cushing into Moscow are ranked in the

00:46:37.449 - 00:46:50.030

low 20 s nationally. So both could be invited to the nationals in May for the women. Tracy bloat is around number 30 in the nation. So she'll probably be invited and the team in the whole as a whole was ranked 19th going into the tournament. So

00:46:50.040 - 00:46:56.840

the team as a whole has a shot and invitation to the national tournament with apologies to Deborah Ramsay. I'm Jonathan Center for K G R U.
