00:00:06.730 - 00:00:35.419

The concert will be open to the public. Sounded like his wife. You in. Dedicated to the no one. What the telephone is, is um, students and alumni are calling other alumni in the Houston area and asking them to pledge donations for the rice annual fund. And

00:00:35.430 - 00:01:01.139

what the annual fund is used for is financial assistance to students, faculty and staff salaries, academic administrative expenses, student recruitment, the library, the Alumni association, inter mural and inter collegiate sports, public lectures and plant maintenance. Um, the tele fund, the annual fund last year, um got

00:01:01.150 - 00:01:20.430

$22,000 from 750 contributors. Whereas I was certain it was going to have to go up three or four months ago. Reasonably certain. I'm now leaning as far away from it as I can. That doesn't mean I won't have to do something, but I can't tell. And

00:01:20.440 - 00:01:33.400

the reason I can't tell is because I can't tell what the income to the university is going to be. And I won't be able to tell till November or December. One thing I will guarantee you that if there's any chance in the world of not raising

00:01:33.410 - 00:01:52.870

it, it won't be raised because it hasn't been there since I've been here in reference to the A and M game. He said, uh that we're all aware of the situation, it's not a normal situation. And so the decision to go or not to go. And

00:01:52.879 - 00:02:07.839

he said that you all know what I'm talking about, go where he said, and it is my decision and I'm responsible for you all. And since it's not a normal situation and, and our going to A and M will not contribute to a state of normalcy.

00:02:08.149 - 00:02:26.860

Therefore, you will not be going all. You confirm procrastinators who waited until Monday, the 30th to have your cars inspected, take heed, you've got another deadline coming up. Saturday is the final day to register to vote in the November General election. All American citizens at least

00:03:36.710 - 00:03:50.360

record the value of the assets and in the other, the other one, we recorded the cost of the assets, which doesn't give you any information. I'll put that that the relevance of cost information of that kind about the same category as the square root of the

00:03:50.369 - 00:04:11.589

president's belt size is just not relevant at all. The consent music A Viennese Ensemble which performs baroque music on authentic instruments of the period will perform at 8 30 PM, Wednesday, October 16th in Hammond Hall on the Rice University campus. The concert sponsored by Rice's Shepherd

00:04:11.600 - 00:04:26.628

School of Music will be open to the public free of charge, founded in 1954 by Nicholas Harcourt, his wife Alice Harcourt and several other members of the Vienna Symphony. The Consensus Meus is dedicated to the performance of early music on the original instruments for which the

00:04:26.639 - 00:04:47.500

music was written. The ensemble's collection of final instruments includes violins dating from 16 65 a tenor viola of 16 50 a customary violin, cello from 17 44 a violo or bass from 17 29 a 17 20 baroque obo a 17 50 flato Toso which once belonged

00:04:47.510 - 00:05:02.880

to Frederick the great and an 18 th century viennese baroque bassoon original wind instruments which are still playable are very rare. And for that reason, it was necessary in some cases to build copies of valuable instruments kept in museums. Programs of the consensus now range from

00:05:02.890 - 00:05:19.959

music of the French School of Notre Dame of the 13th century, the beginning of the 19th century, we will not be going to the A and M game. And the reason we're not going is because we're going to have only the one trip which we are

00:05:19.970 - 00:05:38.089

spending all our money on. And that's the S U trip we're going up to Dallas October the 19th and the trip will cost us about $5000 because the band is so large this year. And Doctor Jones who is our new boss has made an administrative decision

00:05:38.320 - 00:05:53.779

that it probably would be best for us not to make the A and M trip. If you're a rice student who's fortunate enough to have money owed to you from the financial aid office, you've probably not received it yet. According to the financial aid office, they

00:05:53.790 - 00:06:08.049

haven't gotten around to issuing the proper forms to allow the cashier's office to release any funds as yet. However, there is one way to get your money. If you go to the financial aid office and complain, they will write out a special authorization for the cashier

00:06:08.059 - 00:06:27.089

and you can pick up your check within a few days. It's apparently just another case of oiling the wheel that squeaks the loudest. So if you want your money now you'd better start squeaking. Scott Hochberg Kru News. New legislation will be sought after your recess to

00:06:27.100 - 00:06:57.549

require use of cleaner coal processes and nuclear fuel in new electric plants and the quick conversion of existing oil plants. I propose that we together set a target date of 1980 for eliminating oil fired plants from the nation's base loaded electrical capacity. All of you late

00:06:57.559 - 00:07:14.850

shoppers take heart. There are still about 60 shopping days until Christmas to aid you in your hunt. Neiman Marcus. The Dallas based specialty store has released its 1974 Christmas catalog for those looking for gifts with an unusual bent and equipped with the cash. Neiman Marcus offers

00:07:14.859 - 00:07:31.850

this year, the N Bar M Mouse Ranch, a controlled utopian environment, complete with corral feed barn and windmill all within a clear acrylic case for your critters. That is mice. You get silver plated round up tweezers and a branding iron with indelible ink along with your

00:07:31.859 - 00:07:48.100

ranch. Mice not included for a paltry 3500 bucks. If ranching isn't your style, maybe you would like to try another Neiman Marcus innovation. His and her hover bugs. Yes. You and your mate can cruise over land or water at up to 45 MPH in these vehicles

00:07:48.109 - 00:08:06.420

which travel on a cushion of air. Two hover bugs come for a measly $7280. But let's not mess around with the penny. Any gifts for those of truly discriminating tastes and a pocketbook to prove it. How about a 106 carat Australian Black Boulder Opal four, hold

00:08:06.429 - 00:08:27.470

on to your bank account. 150,000 clams. Better hurry. Supply is limited. I'm Ken Alexander for the news this year. Instead of having a meal in the, in our commons, the food service will be providing a German meal that night at supper and in every college there

00:08:27.480 - 00:08:49.260

will be one keg of beer at supper. I would like for the whole university to get involved in this show. We have some people from Jones and Baker and Lovin and Hanson helping us out with the show and anyone else on campus who thinks they have

00:08:49.270 - 00:09:15.469

a talent that could go along with this cabaret show on October 5th. Please contact me at uh Sid Richardson. Uh The difference starts when you consider the name of course, uh guidance is somewhat straightforward. Whereas postman gambles uh deserves a little bit more explanation. The word

00:09:15.479 - 00:09:34.719

gambles comes uh is somewhat similar to the word frolicking and post mastication, I assume means after dinner. So that means after dinner frolicking. Now, the events we are going to have are very similar in spirit to the ones that we had in guidance. And the one

00:09:34.729 - 00:09:54.780

we're having tonight is the balloon toss. We have a balloon toss it because the egg toss came out to be too expensive. But the difference between guidance and post mastication gambles is that in post mastication gamble, you are not allowed to technically haze anybody. Whereas in

00:09:54.789 - 00:10:19.299

guidance, that was one of the major objections against to it. He had problems getting uh some of his subcontracting uh agents uh to give him definite figures, not so far as just giving them, but time involved, it took longer than they thought. Definitely next, next week

00:10:19.309 - 00:10:38.080

we'll have uh approval of the plan and we'll be uh hoping that doctor Desler will approve of, of them as quickly as possible and we've been keeping him in touch with what's going on. So he's pretty well informed. And so, uh we think we suspect it's,

00:10:38.090 - 00:10:59.789

it's a fairly sure bet that, that he'll know just about exactly what he'll be getting before he gets it, which means that that process should be expedited by now. And Bill are going to pretend uh if you will, that they are the parents of a non

00:10:59.799 - 00:11:19.169

Glore child and that she accidentally got pregnant again. She was two months pregnant and they are going in for counseling about this uh because uh there is a procedure today that can be used to diagnose a birth defect before the baby is born, known as amnio.

00:11:21.219 - 00:11:43.630

And then that will be followed by uh an amniocentesis film where the procedure is shown exactly how it is done. The amniotic fluid drawn out of the uh the womb diagnosed. Uh their uh variant is I think one of the important factors for a couple to

00:11:43.640 - 00:12:34.979

know uh about their pedigree. If in fact, there has been a problem in the family before then they can uh this, the procedure is available to them. Uh Baker College is gonna show Wheat Field Wednesday night the 16th from

00:12:34.989 - 00:12:49.010

9 to 1 in Baker Commons and admission will be free. We will charge a small price for beer by the glass. Uh If you're not familiar with Wheat Field, they've been playing around town with Damian's and Grand Central and even even as far as Liberty Hall

00:12:49.510 - 00:13:01.530

and they're basically a progressive country band and they've got, they, they can do some pretty good Crosby stills, Nash and young and some pretty good Joni Mitchell and uh to do a lot of their own stuff and stuff by local people, you've probably never heard of

00:13:01.539 - 00:13:21.890

or very smooth sounding band. 34 years ago today, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke on nationwide radio on the first day of registration for the first peacetime military draft in American history. On October 16th, 1940 opinion was divided in the United States over American rearmament and redeployment

00:13:21.900 - 00:13:40.479

of troops. Americans, particularly in the midwest opposed any move that might bring America closer to entry in the European War. Roosevelt argued that the draft was based on historical precedent and current necessity. K T U will air President Roosevelt's speech of October 16th, 1940 tonight at

00:13:40.489 - 00:13:58.440

eight PM. This is Ken Alexander for Kru News Colleges have been asked to submit one name for King and Queen each and the elections for homecoming are going to be held next Tuesday in each college at lunch time. And also between about 11 o'clock and 2

00:13:58.450 - 00:14:16.229

30 in either the R MC or the library, there will be separate polling places at different times and the results will be announced at the homecoming game first to start off homecoming weekend at a dinner on that Friday. That's the 25th of October food food service

00:14:16.239 - 00:14:28.330

is going to be serving as a German style food for dinner. Uh just as they did last year for the, for the October Fest. And the, the R PC is going to put a keg of beer in each college for dinner and we probably have one

00:14:28.340 - 00:14:41.669

or two cakes in each college depending on what the college wants to buy more that evening. Of course, it is going to be Sid Richardson's October Fest in which this year is going to feature in the regular 25 or so. Kegs of beer and a band

00:14:41.679 - 00:15:00.150

six pack and downstairs and said Richardson's basement is going to be sort of a cabaret show, carnival type set up being put on by Richardson and the entire university Saturday evening after the homecoming game, there will be the rock dance and quad being sponsored by the

00:15:00.159 - 00:15:15.059

R PC and all the colleges. And then after that about one AM or so, the BS U is going to be sponsoring a dance of their own along with a raffle of Coors Coors beer in the Hampton Commons. And this is going to last just indefinitely

00:15:15.070 - 00:15:47.869

through the night. And in the course of our two days here, we're drawing about 70 on about 75 on today and 54 on yesterday. So I told I was that we did pretty good out here. The South Central Modern Language Association, the regional branch of the

00:15:47.880 - 00:16:04.880

National Association of College Teachers of English and Modern Languages will hold its 31st annual convention at the Rice Hotel in Houston this year on October 31st through November 2nd under the joint auspices of the University of Houston and Rice University. The convention last met in Houston

00:17:05.089 - 00:17:36.199

AM to five PM on November 1st and 7 to 11 AM on November 2nd, Bary sever K T R U news officers were by about two or 300 students uh came around and they were leaving with prisoners and uh several students through uh eggs or, or

00:17:36.209 - 00:17:53.560

not eggs but rocks and bottles and sticks and steel piece of steel, construction steel laying around at the police cars and uh knock out windshield patrol car and cause those officers to call for assistance. Something about 50 police units responded to it. And finally, uh they

00:17:53.569 - 00:18:14.650

were helping police in the uh school administration and the student leaders. They tell me how to be involved at distances, were talking and going, going on, going back to class. I'd just like to remind all you r students how you're going to be spending Friday, October

00:18:14.660 - 00:18:34.920

the 25th. What I'm referring to is the Richardson College Octoberfest this year, we've arranged it with the food service. So that on the evening of Friday, October the 25th, you will have German food served in every comments along with this. You have a complimentary cake to

00:18:34.930 - 00:18:58.329

get you warmed up. And then on about eight o'clock, you cruise on over to Richardson College where the October fest is returns bigger and better. This year we're featuring 30 kegs of beer, a cabaret, four show, a rock dance featuring six pack and a German carnival.

00:19:00.010 - 00:19:15.979

The dance will be downstairs along with the beer and upstairs. We'll have the cabaret floor show. Now, if you're worried about not keeping lubed up, we're going to have some young lovelies pouring glasses of beer for you during the floor show and then downstairs you can

00:19:15.989 - 00:19:34.339

just go down and well, I guess you've been there before and for the German carnival, we're going to have games featuring cakewalks, dark throw apple bob and more. We're trying to get some uh ladies to kind of maybe Bob in our apple tube, but we don't

00:19:34.349 - 00:20:00.180

know if that's gonna work out and for the food, there's going to be no feature food but for snacks, you can buy bratwurst Bavarian preps or hot pretzels and we're bringing you all this for the nice round sum of $1 a head. So be there. The

00:20:00.189 - 00:20:14.939

forum committee of the Rice Program Council will be sponsoring Congresswoman Barbara Jordan in an appearance in Hammond Hall. At eight PM on October 30th, she will be probably discussing her work on the House Judiciary Committee. This is the first speaker the Rice Program Council has had

00:20:14.949 - 00:20:34.920

this year and on the program later next semester will be Jean Roddenberry, who is the executive producer of Star Trek calls will be made from the third floor of the Allen Center uh by students and alumni volunteers and the volunteers will be asking for, uh, that

00:20:34.930 - 00:20:50.780

the people who are being called, of course, are all Houston area alumni. And they'll be asked to make a pledge, uh, uh, either over the phone or to let us send them a pledge card, which they, they in turn will fill out and return to the

00:20:50.790 - 00:21:12.719

university. Volunteers report to the Allen Center at 6 30 in the evening and, uh, they're given a short or oral orientation, uh, and a packet which will help them, uh, know exactly how to go about carrying out their telephone calls and we make calls throughout the

00:21:12.729 - 00:21:32.530

evening, uh, and stop promptly at 9 30 uh, students and alumni work side by side and we try to carry this out in a large, uh, room where people can hear each other talking because we think this is, uh, helps the enthusiasm of the volunteers. Um,

00:21:32.910 - 00:21:52.520

and of course, during the evenings, we'll break only to have old soft drinks and sandwiches or hamburgers or something like that. The money we make from the raffle will help to go pay for the dance. And we're hoping, you know that if we make any profits,

00:21:52.530 - 00:22:17.849

it will also help us in our financial situation. We aren't paying anything else in the near future except our Thanksgiving baskets to needy families in Houston and Christmas time. We're also going to sponsor a Toys For Tights Dance. First, the good news, all the bids for

00:22:17.859 - 00:22:33.250

construction of the pub have finally been submitted after numerous delays. Now, the bad news, some of the bids are just a trifle higher than anticipated, which in itself could have been anticipated, not all is lost. However, according to Rice Student Association, President Steve go, the high

00:22:33.260 - 00:22:46.390

bids are partially offset by several items which will cost less than planned. And some of the bids include outside labor, which as everybody knows is more expensive than the meager wages which students have been known to work for. The pub committee is in the process of

00:22:46.400 - 00:22:58.939

putting the finishing touches on the proposal. Pub designer Ross Stevenson is optimistic that construction could begin about a week and a half after the papers are signed or as soon as three weeks from now. According to go, there is still a chance that the pub would

00:22:58.949 - 00:23:11.619

be able to open to welcome students and Blackbirds back after Christmas break. But much depends on how much student labor could be recruited to work during November and December. So that may mean that February would be a more realistic opening date. Now, if we could only

00:23:11.630 - 00:23:39.199

get the props to cancel finals. Well, this is Scott Hockberg for K T R U News, November 2nd, 1974. The merchandise will be available for inspection at the Crown Warehouse annex 5998 and a half Briggs Road from 8 30 AM till five PM the 29th and

00:23:39.209 - 00:24:01.939

30th of October. The auction will begin at 8 30 AM on Saturday at the same location and a $20 deposit is required. Among those items being auctioned are three cartons of screwdriver heads, one rudge 1936 motorcycle and a case of cards. One marble elephant, one transceiver

00:24:01.949 - 00:24:35.689

and microphone. 78 Mexican gold coins otherwise known as pesos and one wrecked gremlin. Those interested in more information should contact the custom house phone number 2264312. I'm Stan Barber K T R U designer Ross Stevenson's final report on the construction of the undergraduate pub covers the

00:24:35.699 - 00:24:55.250

purchase construction and installation of all equipment and facilities of the pub. The report will now be considered by the pub control committee. The committee will be considering all of its options in the construction and weighing cost cutting alternatives against long term effects. The committee should reach

00:24:55.260 - 00:25:14.489

a decision as to which of its options to follow by late next week. If the committee gives Ross Stevenson, it's ok. Preliminary construction could get underway within three weeks with the pub opening in late January or early February at the earliest Keith Cooper K T R

00:25:14.520 - 00:25:34.729

U, the Rice University Shepherd School of Music announced today, the formation of the Shepherd string quartet. The new professional quartet it is believed is the first string quartet composed of the four principal string players of a major symphony orchestra to make its home on a university

00:25:34.739 - 00:25:55.709

campus as performers and instructors. The members of the quartet are Houston symphony orchestra, string principals, Ronald G Patterson concert master, Ralph Liel, principal, second violinist, Wayne T. Kraus, principal violist and Shirley triple principal cellist. The members of the group, in addition to continuing with the Houston

00:25:55.719 - 00:26:15.180

Symphony and performing throughout the country with a new quartet will provide individual instruction and coaching and chamber music to shepherd school students and also will be deeply involved in the school's innovative orchestral studies program. Patterson will begin working immediately with Jones Paul Cooper, professor of music

00:26:15.189 - 00:26:33.849

and composer in residence and an s noblin, associate professor of music in formulating the core curriculum for the Shepherd School, which will formally begin instruction in the fall of 1975. Kraus and Tribble will join the Rice Faculty at the beginning of the 1975 76 academic year.

00:26:33.859 - 00:26:58.329

This is Marjorie Alexander K news in the misclassified section of the thresher of two weeks ago. You might have noticed an ad which said starship now taking new members transport coordinates 5267873 star fleet out. And you probably thought it was a big joke. Well, Rey, it's

00:26:58.339 - 00:27:18.020

for real. Rick Goldman Arthur up there had explained where the F D R Star Trek and Rice Organ. And basically it's an organization seeking to take all the Trekkies on campus and all the, uh, science fiction books and people interested in Star Trek, get them organized

00:27:18.030 - 00:27:35.719

and see if they can sort of get spaced out together. Mr Goldman next told what he'd like to see S T A R do. I'd sort of like to see the Trek. He's on campus, uh get to a position where they can deal in Star Trek

00:27:35.729 - 00:27:56.910

memorabilia. Um work with such organizations as the Star Trek Association for Revival, which is connected with Lincoln Enterprises, which is now the head Center for Star Trek. An example of some of the ways the Trekkies could get it all together unquote is the establishment of Trey

00:27:57.050 - 00:28:15.060

tables at dinner for those who have television sets. They know that Star Trek shows at six o'clock in the evening. And a sample of what went on last year at Will Rice is at one table. A television set was brought down for the season meal. And

00:28:15.069 - 00:28:26.619

after grace it was turned on and the students would watch Star Trek while eating dinner and it would be very interesting to note that all the tables around them, the students would be trying to eat dinner with their head turned sideways trying to watch the television

00:28:26.630 - 00:28:47.709

set. So there seems to be some interest in science fiction and Star Trek on campus. We just want to get a channel together other questions concerning the S D R R Black Freedom. 5267873. This is first Officer Stan Barber reporting for the US S K T

00:28:47.719 - 00:29:14.619

R. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah. This being the end of October now is the witching time when ordinary humans turn into goblins and ghouls since you are probably a little old to go trick or treating on Halloween, we have a few other suggestions for venting the devilish

00:29:14.630 - 00:29:32.310

spirit. Halloween night brings a host of bewitching activities. La Bastille is offering a Halloween special for Rice students to the opening night of the Bill Evans trio. They'll let you in for just $1 with a rice ID across downtown Liberty Hall is sponsoring a Halloween party

00:29:32.319 - 00:29:49.160

beginning at eight PM with a magician and a contest for the best costume. Clifton Chenier will play Black Cajun music for four hours beginning about nine pm. Closer to campus, the Rice Program Council will show a suitably morbid film the Night of the Living Dead. You

00:29:49.170 - 00:30:05.890
