00:00:00.660 - 00:00:16.059

Central Standard Time Thursday night. What we're trying to do is present a viable alternative to the major campaigns for a president. We will nominate a candidate and anyone who wishes to vote in the convention may simply by showing up. We figure that anyone who cares enough

00:00:16.069 - 00:00:29.899

to attend can be considered one of us. We aren't worried about other parties on campus attending and influencing our nomination. We welcome them. If you have any ideas, you'd like to see part of our political platform, come to Ham and Hall Thursday night and give us

00:00:29.909 - 00:00:50.819

your ideas and your support. You may find more than you expect some people we feel sure will not take us seriously. But this doesn't deter us. The word's worthless society is going to make its political presence felt on this campus free all poetical prisoners. Now, Rice

00:00:50.830 - 00:01:07.830

University Professor of Environmental science, Dr Arthur W Bush has been named regional administrator of the environmental protection agency. EPA chief administrator, William D Ruckelshaus announced the appointment of the 45 year old Rice professor as one of 10 regional agency heads his appointment. The final for the

00:01:07.839 - 00:01:29.660

10 regions will become effective. January 1st Doctor Bush will have headquarters in Dallas and will be responsible for EPA programs on air and water pollution control, noise abatement, solid waste disposal, pesticide and radiation in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Paul Lavia. The news. Oh,

00:01:29.669 - 00:01:44.209

I definitely feel that, uh, that we've made a little progress and I think we've got rice his name out and, and, and the publicity and, uh, and I think that the kids that were here to see our ball games were interested in that type of football.

00:01:44.220 - 00:01:56.199

And, uh, and, and what, like you say, the, the uncertainty of other universities is who the coach is going to be, I think definitely is in our favor. We just got, we got to work fast before they get coaches and, you know, they make a lot

00:01:56.209 - 00:02:14.529

of sunshine. Well, when I made the switch offense, moved from a back our quarterback off to a tailback offense. So I figured I get to hand the ball more. So I thought it would be more beneficial to me. So that's why I made the move. The

00:02:14.539 - 00:02:34.740

possibility of playing pro football has entered into my mind. But as of right now, I have no definite plans. So it be hard to tell. Right. I think there are really several major issues. One that the very fact that East Pakistan has been almost a separate

00:02:34.750 - 00:02:54.550

country religion being the only thing that is brought the East and West Pakistan together, the extent to which when the division of the country took place, you had two quite separate states and the domination of the system by primarily by West Pakistan and people in West

00:02:54.559 - 00:03:18.330

Pakistan add to that the extent to which India has never been overly pleased with the existence of Pakistan as a country. And now he's is met with serious economic problems related to the approximately 10 million refugees that they have to run faster, Another feed and maintain.

00:03:22.169 - 00:03:46.679

Well, the regional administrator is responsible directly to Mr Ruckel House and is responsible for not only carrying out on a regional basis, the programs of the national EPA but also for programming and implementing activities uh particularly within the region. Congress has given an EPA in its

00:03:46.690 - 00:04:07.389

charter enforcement responsibility. That is its, its primary responsibility is enforcement. But uh the act areas in which we can move are also spelled out by uh legislation. And right now, the only entree we have to uh uh particular local problems is either through the refuse act

00:04:07.399 - 00:04:29.489

of 18 99 or through an enforcement conference in the middle of a discussion on uh the judicial code which will go into effect. As of January the 10th, four members of the Senate walked out of the meeting which left us without a quorum. And my analysis

00:04:29.500 - 00:04:50.019

of that action was that uh by leaving the meeting and therefore not allowing the Senate to, to decide upon the selection process for all of the students who will be involved in the the judicial system on the university wide level that uh these four students left

00:04:50.029 - 00:05:10.390

the student body without any representation on that in the judicial system, on the university level. And uh essentially they left our discipline and uh any judiciary process in the hands of the deva students as is called for under an emer emergency clause under the judicial code

00:05:13.119 - 00:05:39.369

is involved with the Senate's own blanket tax increase proposal to help fund minority admissions. The Rush Program Council feels that the members of the Senate that voted against allowing the Program Council on the referendum were afraid that if the Program Council were indeed on the referendum

00:05:39.380 - 00:06:00.660

with the minority emissions proposal that the minority emissions proposal would not pass. It seems to the Rice Program Council that the decision whether to pass a blanket tax increase for minority emissions or more funds for the program Council should have been left up to the student

00:06:00.670 - 00:06:21.450

body in the referendum instead of the student senate trying to second guess the student opinion on these matters. Our average use at the hospital is between 455 100 times a month and it's a real scramble to get all that all the time. And so this is

00:06:21.459 - 00:06:44.450

a real windfall. If the first two assumptions are correct, then, um, it seems that if only women can understand things concerning women, then men are incompetent to make any decisions concerning women at all because they cannot understand them. Also, if it's necessary to have a woman

00:06:44.459 - 00:07:04.230

represented on the court to decide things concerning women, then we should also have a black on the court to decide things concerning black and um a representative from any other minority group that might assert itself at r there will be a brief memorial service in Hanson

00:07:04.239 - 00:07:34.450

College Commons for Leslie and Larry Owens Friday evening, December 3rd, 1971 at 6 45 PM. Final results you might say were already given 501 people alumni who told them no, 820 send a pledge card 843. So that totally the students contacted the uh 2100 and 64

00:07:34.459 - 00:07:54.850

alumni and of the 843 who said, send a pledge card. 100 and 14 of them have sent a pledge card and they've sent in 4400 and $36. So we really feel like that it was a major contribution of which we're just feeling the initial stages of,

00:07:54.859 - 00:08:16.820

of interest from alumni. And, and this type of thing in the referendum today on the Student association proposed blanket tax increase for minority admissions. 386 students voted for the increase and 312 students voted against as this is not the required 60% majority needed for the referendum

00:08:16.829 - 00:08:38.289

to pass. It failed. There was an off campus organization which is out of state and has nothing to do with Rice University, which sent out letters to the parents of rice students asking them to purchase these care packages. This is against university policy because had already

00:08:38.299 - 00:08:53.448

contacted Venna students office and gotten permission to send them from Rice. This organization that was out of state had an on campus representative and he contacted them and told them that he did not realize it was against university policy when he agreed to do it. He

00:08:53.458 - 00:09:08.080

assumed that they had made um made sure that everything they were doing was correct. Therefore, he terminated his and as a bargain and all of the checks are being returned to the parents with an explanation that that group is now an operative on the Rice campus.

00:09:10.780 - 00:09:26.340

Yeah, I just wanted to respond to some of the charges that Mr Lou Hancock, our president of the Student Association made in his uh reaction to the Senate last Tuesday night. And first of all, he, he claims that the issue at stake was uh establishing student

00:09:26.349 - 00:09:45.229

student participation in the university court. It's not true. It's uh all it was being established was a rotation procedure for picking four justices, something could that could be done in any number of ways, all of which mean pretty much equal. For another thing. Mr Hancock claims

00:09:45.239 - 00:09:58.349

that he has to call a special meeting as a result of the four people leaving the Senate. Meeting. Well, that's not true either because the special meeting that he's called for Tuesday tonight has actually been scheduled all semester long as most people know and Lou should

00:09:58.359 - 00:10:13.099

know the Senate meets every other week and last week it did meet, but it met last week because it didn't meet the week before because the meeting was put off. Ok. And the other thing is that, uh, Lou claims that there was no quorum but under

00:10:13.109 - 00:10:29.489

parliamentary procedure which uh senate meetings are supposed to be run by. Um Once a quorum has been established, I E once you have sufficient number of people to start the meeting, then that quorum remains in effect until uh someone challenges it. So if you had like

00:10:29.500 - 00:10:42.289

if you only had two people in the room and everybody else had left, but nobody challenged the quorum. Nobody said, hey, is there a quorum here? Then meeting could still go on business could still be transacted legally. So if anybody prevented action on the university court

00:10:42.349 - 00:11:06.000

selection procedure was Mr Hancock himself and not four senate members. As he claims we have cars, private cars and perhaps one of a small trucks running from in front of love hall from nine AM until seven PM. Tuesday, the day of the election. And we should

00:11:06.010 - 00:11:20.750

have some more campaign information up on all the candidates also at the same place. And the buses will run constantly around the clock to try to get people out there, if a person didn't vote in the last election, he may still vote in the upcoming election.

00:11:20.909 - 00:11:42.510

And we urge him to do so. Um, and also if anyone runs into any problems with voting, um, they might contact me or any number of people re Marti or Christy Oliver or Roger Smith or Bonnie Hoskins at Jones College. Well, since I've been at Rice

00:11:42.520 - 00:11:59.700

University, I've been very proud of the student body support for a basketball team. And, uh, and I see no, no reason why they won't be out there. And, uh, certainly we, we need them. This is a crucial time when, uh, when we need support and it's,

00:12:00.080 - 00:12:20.989

it's easy to get the support when you're winning and things are going fine and we need their help and, uh, I just think it's that the students will give it to us. Well, first of all, we've got a, we got a relatively young basketball team and,

00:12:21.000 - 00:12:42.549

uh, when you go into the Atlantic Coast conference to play your first games without any foreign competition prior to it, uh, it's awfully difficult after our North Carolina game. Dean Smith, North Carolina coach told me, he said, uh, he said, Don, the, uh, this is a

00:12:42.559 - 00:12:59.469

tough place to, uh, to bring a young basketball team in to play. And, uh, he, he was, I know he was trying to be nice, but he was also being very, uh, very serious about it. And North Carolina. It was, it was a complete mismatch. Uh,

00:12:59.479 - 00:13:14.419

our Wake Forest game, we thought we had a, we had a chance to, uh, to win a ballgame. We felt they were a little more like we were. And, uh, after playing them, uh, we felt that the main, the main reason that we lost was the

00:13:14.429 - 00:13:29.690

fact that we, we got out of hustle what we're trying to do with, uh, with our offense. We don't know whether it's any good or not because we never really got into it. And, uh, I think right now we need a, uh, a chance to play

00:13:29.700 - 00:13:51.500

against someone that's gonna be a little closer to our, uh, type of, uh, talent and just see what, uh, is going to prevail and we need something good to happen. So tomorrow night, we play the Citadel and, uh, this is one of four straight games that

00:13:51.510 - 00:14:08.460

we're going to play at home. And, uh, as I mentioned about our young basketball players, it's, it's going to be a little easier for them to, to play, uh, on their own court. And, uh, we're playing a team that's, uh struggling just like we are and,

00:14:08.469 - 00:14:21.200

uh, it's just going to amount to the, to the squad tomorrow night. That's, uh, in a good mental frame of mind and, uh, are gonna bounce back with aggressive play and that's what we've got to do if we're going to win and, and a win and

00:14:21.210 - 00:14:39.880

playing at home is I think gonna boost our basketball team on the basis of these two ball games and the performance that we've had, uh, it looks a little bleak right now. But, uh, as I said, we've got a young basketball team. We, we haven't found

00:14:40.090 - 00:14:54.489

ourselves, we really don't know what we can do because we never had a chance to, to, uh, get into the things that we've worked for seven weeks on. So it's, uh, it's gonna be just a matter of time. And right now we're, we're concerned uh as

00:14:54.500 - 00:15:18.710

to uh a starting line up, we just don't have one right now. And of course, it's a problem we've had in the past where uh our youngsters, uh for some reason, the, the, the better talent uh won't come to the front and consistently stay there. Those

00:15:18.719 - 00:15:31.650

battling basketball Owls will meet the Wake Forest deacons in Winston, Salem tonight at seven PM central time. The game will be broadcast by Bill Whitmore on K E N R 10 70 on your AM dial. Don Noel's Owls try once more to break in the newly

00:15:31.659 - 00:15:47.099

installed run and shoot offense after a dismal performance Thursday against the powerful North Carolina tar heels on that game. They hit less than 50% of their field goals. Only 54% of the free throws committed 29 personal fouls and 36 turnovers that made for a very ragged

00:15:47.109 - 00:16:01.690

showing, not will start. Mark Worley at forward tonight, along with Randy Reynolds, Kim Kaufman and Don Snyder at Guards and Steve Condor and at the center, the deacons who haven't had a sports, haven't been a sports power since the days of Arnold Palmer norm, Snead and

00:16:01.700 - 00:16:15.809

Brian Piccolo have another dark season ahead of them this year in the powerful Atlantic Coast conference. They lost their opening contest Thursday to Kus 94 to 87. This should be a much more interesting game than the one on Thursday. But I predict that the Owls will

00:16:15.820 - 00:16:30.630

have trouble to bring their new offense around and foresee a 10 point loss in national sports note, the cries of we're number one have ceased from Pennsylvania and the Cotton Bowl interest has taken a dive as Tennessee blasted the boastful Penn State N Lions. 31 to

00:16:30.640 - 00:16:45.409

11 in Knoxville this afternoon. This is Mike Ross, the sports that sort of baffles us because the mayor has done more in the black areas, the minority areas of this city and all the other mayors in the history of our city combined. We've been more improvements

00:16:46.119 - 00:17:13.409

and the basic essentials such as water lines, sewer lines, parks, recreation centers, swimming pools, street lights, widened paved streets and so forth. I'm looking now at uh our precinct map and uh we expect to pick it up uh primarily in the east end part of town,

00:17:13.418 - 00:17:39.040

which is where I'm from, from the black community and the Brown community. We expect to win in these areas overwhelmingly, we expect to neutralize the vote with some of the endorsements we've received. We have received all of the endorsements of people oriented groups. The incumbent received

00:17:39.050 - 00:18:00.829

none. He did receive the endorsement of the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle to the spread of no one. And uh that's, that's it. And uh I think it's very significant. Both candidates for mayor have appealed for a large turnout in Tuesday's elections but the appeals are

00:18:00.839 - 00:18:16.089

going to Fred Hoffs relied mainly on a heavy black turnout in excess of 80% to surge late in the counting to come within 5000 votes of the incumbent mayor in the November 20th election. And Mayor Louis Welch failed to gain a majority in a large part

00:18:16.099 - 00:18:30.160

due to a lack of support in the Southwest Precincts which gave large majorities in previous years. Many of these votes went to Haines, but a significant number of Welch's supposed Southwest supporters simply didn't show up at the polls. The supporters of the black community, Fred Hoff

00:18:30.290 - 00:18:42.290

he's received on November 20th. On the other hand, may not show this time the fact that there are no blacks on the ballot or no one under 30 for that matter will do nothing to bring out the would be Haine supporters. So on Tuesday's elections, the

00:18:42.300 - 00:18:58.109

outcome will not depend simply on the extent of the turnout but also on which side of main street, those votes come from white middle class, West side or the minority side, the east side, Paul Lavia, the news, there's been a great deal of complaint on this

00:18:58.119 - 00:19:13.030

basis. Electioneering by the judge himself, it's not always directly related to the 18 1920 year old. It's often just on the basis of the candidate's choice. I've seen some letters from some people who are very frightened to vote for anyone other than the one the precinct

00:19:13.040 - 00:19:34.060

judge suggested, which is of course a clear violation. Oh, by all means, I'm not giving up uh working in the schools. I'm not giving up. You know, when you, uh when you fail to uh visit with young people, you tend to stagnate and you tend to

00:19:34.069 - 00:19:55.709

resist change. I, I don't feel that I want to get that old. I have said that my failure to hang around City Hall for 20 years is not a credential that I lack. It's a credit to me that I haven't been hanging around City Hall for

00:19:55.719 - 00:20:14.880

20 years that I can offer to the voters of the city of Houston. A fresh look, a look from the viewpoint of a young private citizen who has some ideas and some new approaches and some new things that he would like to try. She had the

00:20:14.890 - 00:20:32.869

largest number of people running for position seven and she had the disadvantage of being in a, a very inopportune place on that ballot. One had to bend way down to find Mrs Camera's name on that ballot. Mhm. If we get a good turnout, let's say that,

00:20:33.130 - 00:20:47.930

uh, we get about the turnout about 20% higher or roughly the same as last time that I could beat the Oaks by as many as 25,000 votes. A low turnout by the groups that gave me the primary support would mean that I'd have a, a very

00:20:47.939 - 00:21:09.900

tough race if the students show by 10% more than they did last time, I will be almost assured of a victory. Of course, that's assuming they vote for me. And I think they will, we have cars, private cars and perhaps one of a small trucks running

00:21:09.910 - 00:21:25.410

from in front of love hall from nine AM until seven PM. Tuesday the day of the election. And we should have some more campaign information up on all the candidates also at the same place and the buses will run constantly around the clock to try to

00:21:25.420 - 00:21:42.369

get people out there. If a person didn't vote in the last election, he may still vote in the upcoming election. And we urge him to do so. Um, and also if anyone runs into any problems with voting, um, they might contact me or any number of

00:21:42.380 - 00:22:05.079

people, Jar Martis or Christy Oliver or Roger Smith or Bonnie Hoskins at Jones College. Well, I think so. I, I believe that, uh, knowing how the city has been operated and I don't think they're going to listen to these few radicals that are down with established

00:22:05.089 - 00:22:25.880

and burn and run and rap. I think, uh, that type of a student only represent a very minute percentage of all students. And, uh, I think by a great majority, they level headed and they go and do their own thing and not be followed by these

00:22:25.890 - 00:22:42.569

radicals. Well, I imagine that the conservative voters will come out this time. They had no idea. This is, you know, only 44% of the voters did come out to vote. Why do you think more of them will come out to vote this time than last time?

00:22:42.770 - 00:22:59.660

Well, the result of the election would be the reason they're coming out this time when people think a man has done a good job and they like the situation, they're not aroused to go vote. Uh There's an awful lot of people that were satisfied where things

00:22:59.670 - 00:23:18.439

are going and, and were complacent did not go out and vote and our job is to get those people back up. So if they did not vote and that's where we'll pick them up. Yeah, Mayor Walsh's statement that he's gonna get the whites out to vote

00:23:18.449 - 00:23:35.709

this time has angered the blacks a great deal and I think they're going to show I've seen a fantastic amount of movement in the black community and, and then this Herman linkage with George Wallace is also upset the black community a great deal. I think they're

00:23:35.719 - 00:23:57.329

going to show in better numbers than they did on the Saturday as a feeling that this administration is not responsive to their problems, their problems, both as a cultural group and as a specific neighborhood of the city of Houston. Uh you have to look upon the,

00:23:57.339 - 00:24:16.349

the, the biggest part of their concern about the current administration as being a concern that that administration doesn't pay attention to their neighborhoods, just like other neighborhoods of Houston have the same general feeling the black community feels that they're not getting their proper share of what

00:24:16.359 - 00:24:37.510

city services are available to, to the whole city strength was primarily in Northwest Houston and to a certain extent in Southwest Houston, we've campaigned very vigorously out there in the runoff and we found that most people didn't know who any one of the three of us

00:24:37.520 - 00:24:52.719

were, had voted for Jennings because they thought his name sounded good or because they didn't want the incumbent in, they voted against the incumbent. Uh So I think I'll get a good chunk of Jennings vote in order for Oaks to win, he'd have to get 62%

00:24:52.729 - 00:25:08.359

of Jennings vote. And I don't think that he's going to get that. I think every single vote that was cast against the incumbent administration was a vote for change. Now, there may be some that just couldn't take me and will stay at home to be frank,

00:25:08.369 - 00:25:26.949

but I doubt seriously that very many of those votes that went for other candidates for any one of the four other candidates that were running will go to the opposition because there were votes for change. We are depending upon for success. Next Tuesday, turning out the

00:25:26.959 - 00:25:46.589

people who we know want a change in city government, a number of younger people for either reasons of appearance. Long here were hassled. We're told that they didn't belong there and there were digs made. I heard a couple of these myself and I know it did

00:25:46.599 - 00:26:02.545

happen and we received numerous complaints. There, there were several precincts too. I know of that were documenting that did not let 18 1920 and 21 year olds vote. Well, 20 ones were allowed, but the precinct judges just said no, it's always been that way and you

00:26:02.555 - 00:26:17.750

cannot vote. They did not know about the changes. They were uneasy with the changes. I'm not sure whether it was intentional or not, but they did not let there were two precincts where they had a great deal of difficulty. There was another precinct that we know

00:26:17.760 - 00:26:35.770

discriminated because of color against the voter and we heard comments and digs and these were very unpleasant for the voter and some voters left one left in tears that I know of the Rash Program Council which was denied a place on the referendum for a blanket

00:26:35.780 - 00:26:57.500

tax increase on December 3rd has been informed by Dean Frederick wire that. As far as the administration is concerned, we may hold our blanket tax referendum on January 24th in conjunction with another election. Apparently last time, the Senate felt that the Program Council did not give

00:26:57.510 - 00:27:18.369

them adequate advanced notice of our intentions to hold such a referendum. This time, the Program council has sent as of today a letter to each Senate member informing them of our intentions of having a referendum for a $2 increase increase in blanket tax. Going to the

00:27:18.380 - 00:27:39.949

going to the Rush Program Council starting the academic year 1972 73 extending for each year thereafter, they can call a number of numbers. They can call the city legal Department by calling the city switchboard and ask for Mr Cook's office or just ask for help in

00:27:39.959 - 00:28:06.410

voting. They can call the AC L U office. We will be open with lawyers and notaries. Our numbers are 5245925 and 5246 oh 21. The county is also open Mr Moody's office so they can call the county switchboard and get help half time of a cordon.

00:28:06.420 - 00:28:23.010

The R S trail of San Jason Ravens 45 to 39 after a reasonably good performance against this undefeated 10 and zero junior college power leading the owl scoring is Mike Clayburn with 10 points. Tim Moriarty has eight points. Danny Carroll has seven points and Paul Scott

00:28:23.020 - 00:28:37.439

has six points. Rather even scoring for the Owls. The Big Guns for Sano have been Tom Henderson with 16 points and Paul Tricker from Clear Creek with 17 points. It's been a pretty well played game in general, pretty sloppy. A lot of, lot of turnovers on

00:28:37.449 - 00:28:54.390

both sides, but both teams are playing wide open ball and field goal percentage has been pretty decent this half. It looks like the basketball season won't be too bleak if we have a pretty good outlets to watch Mike Ross. The news. Santa, is it true that

00:28:54.400 - 00:29:13.640

you're gonna be at the R PC Christmas party? Oh, yes. I'll be there with candy and toy for little boys and girls. And what time will you be there? Santa in your busy schedule? Oh, I'll be there from 8 30 to 9 30 when I take

00:29:13.650 - 00:29:33.619

off for the North Pole. Well, thank you Santa Claus and we'll see you again next Christmas. Bye bye up, up in the world. Oh, it's hard to know exactly what the policies will be. But I can assure you education will be centered to the young people

00:29:33.729 - 00:29:48.660

who are in our schools that the emphasis will be on their needs and what we can do to meet them, how we can challenge each and every student and find a way of helping those that need help. It's no longer in my judgment. At least going

00:29:48.670 - 00:30:02.829

to be the kind of school district that puts buildings and administrators first but rather the kind of school district that looks to the students and what their needs are. So what the policies will be, will be anything necessary to carry out that attitude. Well, I expect

00:30:02.839 - 00:30:20.430

Dr Garva would be reinstated and as soon as possible, first of January is on a Saturday. So I would presume it wouldn't happen before Monday the third, I proposed this method because I felt that it was the most equitable. It didn't discriminate against anyone in any

00:30:20.439 - 00:30:40.020

way. You know, before the, the university court is a, isn't part of the new judicial code which will go into effect on January 10th. We haven't had a um university wide judicial code of this kind up to now before we had the, the thing that this

00:30:40.030 - 00:31:04.530

is taking the place of is the inner college court, which is, was composed of the chief justices of all the colleges plus an, a chairman elected at large in the university. It seems to me that anyone appointed to the court must show a sensitivity to and

00:31:04.540 - 00:31:25.060

a commitment to the concept of racial equality. I think the time has long passed when we can permit any compromise of this objective. And I would not want to see enshrined in the councils of the court for the next decade or so. A man as to

00:31:25.069 - 00:31:44.359

whose beliefs on this count, there is the kind of doubt that one has a right to draw from Mr Rehnquist's record. I'll say that on the record, I supported every conceivable effort that we've tried to mount in terms of the mcgovern Hatfield resolutions, the Mansfield amendments,

00:31:44.369 - 00:32:10.989

the group of church amendments to end our involvement in Southeast Asia and I mean, total withdrawal of our forces at the earliest conceivable moment. And secondly, and that means ending the air war over Southeast Asia as well as removing ground combat forces. We'll probably be the

00:32:11.000 - 00:32:25.280

youngest coaching staff in the United States. But that's what I want. I want people that are, are aggressive and enthusiastic and, uh, are still in, in touch with the so to speak, uh with the, with the players and, and with the student body and so on,

00:32:28.439 - 00:32:44.300

the only letters that they received other than their schedules were letters saying that they owed the university money and the letter is self explanatory. It says, see cashier and that is all they have to do is to see the cashier. And then after they see the

00:32:44.310 - 00:32:56.479

cashier and get that letter cleared up as to the fact that they have either paid or what, then they bring that letter over to us to the registrar's office and we will proceed from there. But other than that, uh, I don't know of any letter that

00:32:56.489 - 00:33:20.829

we have sent them in lieu of, of uh a schedule because everyone received a schedule unless they were uh indebted, had some indebtedness to the university. This money will allow us to expand our research in different aspects of marine science that relate to our geology program

00:33:20.839 - 00:33:40.329

here at Rice. Um At the present time, we're exploring the sea bottom by diving with the scuba gear and looking at the bottom sediments and the organisms and the geological record in the making on the sea bottom. And with this money, we'll be able to visit

00:33:40.339 - 00:34:02.920

new localities and hopefully to use small research submarines to go into deeper water. Uh A big uh lack of information exists right now on processes taking place on the deeper sea bottom, that's too, too deep for scuba work. And we hope to use miniature submarines to

00:34:02.930 - 00:34:23.358

get down into deeper water and collect samples and make observations. Oh, yeah. The fact that large scale structures are still visible indicates there must be some structural activity going on such as uh upheavals or shrinking of the crust or cooling of the planetary core. So in

00:34:23.368 - 00:34:44.529

terms of geological evolution indicates the planet is probably not entirely dead. The only other significance would be to uh the production of possible sites for biological or chemical evolution. The fact that there is terrain elevation differences indicates there will probably be some pressure and temperature differences

00:34:44.849 - 00:35:04.139

and also the fact that the crustal material is being turned over may also offer some hope of finding evidence for life or pre life forms. Well, I thought our kids gave a, gave a real good effort, probably the best uh the best effort of our big

00:35:04.149 - 00:35:22.810

people, uh, all season long. They play with enthusiasm and attack the boards like we have to have if we're going to be a winner and rebounding is the, is the key to winning. Uh, our kids were a little, a little quicker, uh, acting last night and

00:35:22.820 - 00:35:38.790

they, they have been in the, uh, in the past several ball games. Uh, we still haven't gotten the, the combination of our guards and our inside people for a, a full ball game yet. But I think we're, it looks like we're just on the verge of,

00:35:38.800 - 00:35:57.129

uh, of, of having this take place. Well, I think first of all, it, uh, it would be a little more feasible for, for basketball than it would be on football. The, uh, I think it, it, it rice, uh, I think it can definitely help us and

00:35:57.139 - 00:36:15.919

especially help the schools that are trying to get there trying to improve their program and, uh, these, these great high school players that are thinking about going to the power, uh, universities and basketball, uh, might think twice and, uh, go to places where they know they

00:36:15.929 - 00:36:31.639

can probably play as freshmen and play four years of varsity ball and get the, the competition and the recre in the recreation. That's not the term I want to use to get the recognition in the, uh, in the competition that, uh, that they want and not

00:36:31.649 - 00:36:48.030

have to play that freshman you're on a freshman team and I think it would definitely help a school like, uh like us here at Rice where to attract uh better talent that, uh, that you can win big with. Well, that Georgia Tech is a team a

00:36:48.040 - 00:37:07.330

little, a little bit like us. They're experiencing problems. Uh, they're not as strong as they've been in the past. The, uh they are a, a strong physical team, uh which we have faced in the past, uh, very much, uh, the same kind of Georgia tech team.

00:37:07.340 - 00:37:23.159

They're patient. Uh They don't get excited. They, uh they come at you at about the same pace. They're good fundamental basketball players and, uh, and they fight you tooth and there, I, I don't think that they're in the caliber of Houston and Hawaii and Old Dominion

00:37:23.169 - 00:37:41.239

and Brigham Young and Vanderbilt. Uh I think this is a, gonna be a pretty much of an even match and if our big kids will, uh, do the job that they did, uh, against Hawaii, we can win. I've, I've, uh had only one conversation uh in

00:37:41.250 - 00:37:58.340

regard to a possibility of filling a vacancy on my staff with, with Joe Washington. He's in Miami right now or rather Hollywood, Florida where they're having the National Coaches convention and, uh, uh I talked to him just prior to his leaving. Yeah, I hope to get

00:37:58.350 - 00:38:14.439

with him next week where we can sit down and, and talk, uh about this uh, the possibility of, uh, coming with us here at Rice Joe is an excellent coach and he's a successful coach and a very good organizer and, uh, uh, a coach like that

00:38:14.449 - 00:38:27.550

can help my staff. I, I don't care whether he's black or purple or green or what if he's a football man and he can help me put points up on the scoreboard. Then, uh, uh, I would, I would like to have him on my staff. I'm

00:38:27.560 - 00:38:45.500

not just gonna hire a coach though just because he's black. You see, I want one that is gonna have, uh, he's gonna have responsibility and, uh, he's gonna have demands placed on him and, uh, he's gonna work not just stand around and be a fixture. Well,

00:38:45.510 - 00:38:59.790

I think that uh, an athlete at Rice University, he has to, uh, as far as his life on the campus, we want him to enjoy the same life that any other student would, would have the opportunity to, uh, enjoy, uh, when he's on my time over

00:38:59.800 - 00:39:11.330

here, then I, I'll have a rigid program that, uh, every second will be accounted for him when he's on my time. But his time, we want him to, to be able to use it as he likes. And of course, we're, we're going to do away with

00:39:11.340 - 00:39:26.110

many of the, the rules and regulations that we had in the past. As an example, we had a breakfast check where you had to get up every morning and go to breakfast whether you liked it or not. And, uh, I don't think that really is necessary.

00:39:26.120 - 00:39:40.919

So we're just going to do away with breakfast and, uh, uh, try to develop, uh, attitudes rather than being a policeman. You know, uh, if a boy is not responsible enough to get up out of bed and go to class, uh, you know, uh, he's gonna

00:39:40.929 - 00:39:55.310

have a difficult time making it. So uh we're trying to bring in boys that we feel like uh are interested in, in an education and uh will be responsible enough to do that. Now, I'm gonna check on them, make sure they're going to class because this

00:39:55.320 - 00:40:11.669

is essential. If you don't go to class at Rice, it's difficult to pass and difficult to be successful. So we're gonna make sure they go to class. I'd just like to say that I, I realize the uh that there has been friction between the student body

00:40:11.679 - 00:40:29.820

and, and the athletic department uh particularly the football program and uh in particular, and there's been a fear that uh we were going to uh develop Jock City over here and uh and, and interfere with the academic excellence that Rice isn't, is uh famous for. And,

00:40:29.830 - 00:40:47.179

and uh I know that uh that uh that can't be done that that's just not the way to approach it at Rice University. And, and uh my objective is to, is to uh integrate athletics with uh the rest of the, the atmosphere, the life on the

00:40:47.189 - 00:41:00.629

campus. And uh that's what I'm trying to do. And I think I can win by doing that because I'm gonna, I'm gonna be able in the long run to help my program. People are gonna cooperate with me if, if I cooperate with them and I'm gonna

00:41:00.639 - 00:41:20.510

get a lot more benefits for my program and a lot more assistance from everybody on the campus if I, I realize what rice is. And uh and then I, I designed the football program to uh to uh integrate with the rest of the campus. We've been

00:41:20.520 - 00:41:43.030

doing work in California in the shallow water submarine canyons there and in Yucatan and in Jamaica and off Texas on the flower garden banks and, and Texas. I'm sorry. And uh this is where our, our work uh really got started. The main project we're working on

00:41:43.040 - 00:41:59.649

at the present time is bio erosion of rocks that are exposed on the sea bottom and how marine organisms actually erode these rocks by living on and on and in them. And what we've discovered thus far is that uh this process of biological erosion of the

00:41:59.659 - 00:42:22.169

rocks is much more important than was previously considered uh especially in deeper water. Our research applies in several different ways we're simply interested in what's going on on the sea bottom for one thing. Uh A practical application of course is in interpreting ancient environments uh under

00:42:22.179 - 00:42:41.649

which sedimentary rocks formed. And this is important in petroleum exploration and exploration for other other minerals and mineral resources. Uh So this is this is a direct application of the work. The basketball owl's 4 to 0 record at Autre court will be in serious jeopardy tonight.

00:42:41.659 - 00:42:59.179

As Rice hosts the nationally ranked Hawaii Hawaii Rainbows, they scored a 10 to 1 record to Rice's four and six after Rice lost to small college power old Dominion number seven ranked Indiana and Vanderbilt and Houston in unfamiliar arenas, all six losses have been away games

00:42:59.189 - 00:43:15.639

and the losing span now averages 32 points per game. Hawaii is led by San Jao junior college star Bob Nash and is ranked 14 and 16 in the national polls and also 10th in rebounding. Rebounding is a necessary basketball skill. You'll remember that the Owls have

00:43:15.649 - 00:43:34.979

yet to master all five of the Hawaii rainbow starters average in double figures with Nash shooting 28.1 per game. John Pennebaker, the 62 pivot man who is an army veteran, 16.7 and five ft nine. Jerome Freeman. 15.8. Rice has been plagued by inconsistent performances by all

00:43:34.989 - 00:43:49.209

players in a disappointing road trip which saw the Owls outclassed at every single game. There will be no freshman game tonight, but the Owls will return to play Lee College at six PM on Wednesday as a pre lien to the varsity game against Georgia tech in

00:43:49.219 - 00:44:05.810

case you missed it. Bill Peterson jumped his five year contract to accept a lucrative offer with the Houston Oilers for reportedly $75,000 a year for 10 years. You'll also remember that. Or coach Ed Hughes was fired after one year of his five year contract, they trust

00:44:05.820 - 00:44:22.520

Peterson after a confused search. There were quite a few colleges looking for coaches. Rice promoted longtime staffer Red Bale to athletic director and Al Conover to head football coach. This is Mike Ross. The news thing that many students are concerned about today is uh the ethics

00:44:22.530 - 00:44:37.969

and uh problems with uh lack of faith in the state government. And I think one of the first projects that uh Texas public interest research group might look into would be an ethical standard for our public servants in this state. Also, pollution is a major concern

00:44:37.979 - 00:44:52.199

and for good reason in the Houston area as well as the rest of the state. And there are many industries that are currently in violation of regulations that are being poorly enforced. And so there will be plenty of fertile ground in the pollution area for a

00:44:52.209 - 00:45:14.020

public interest research group. Also with a large number of minority groups in this state, especially in Houston. There will there are certainly abuses of their rights as citizens that are at the present time, un investigated and in many cases remedied in any way and the public

00:45:14.030 - 00:45:34.909

interest research group will carefully consider many of these possible projects and will certainly begin taking action right away as soon as they're funded and organized in helping to bring about some social change. Well, of course, I'm extremely happy with the situation and, uh it's been a

00:45:34.919 - 00:45:53.449

case of me waiting him out and finally getting pointed to this position. But, uh I think that, uh it's gonna be a fine set up. I'm of course, extremely happy to be in it. Uh It's not entirely new to me. Uh The responsibility of the position

00:45:53.879 - 00:46:11.979

is practically the only new thing that I have to consider because I've been involved in the the working of it most all the time the club uh is coming on fine. Uh We had said that it would get started in January and uh I still believe

00:46:11.989 - 00:46:31.570

it will. The thing actually is holding it up right now is uh getting a permit for it, building permit from the city and that is being held up only because the architects have not finished on the complete uh plans, the internal plans outside, of course, it's

00:46:31.580 - 00:46:49.969

set, but uh just getting the final drawings up which have to be submitted with it. Now, it's expected that these will be in by January the 15th. It's expected that uh between the 15th and the first of February, that ground work will start on it. The

00:46:49.979 - 00:47:06.939

steel for the structure has been ordered and it should be here toward the first of February where progress should be great. From then on Houston's revolutionary school board whose seven members were all supported by the liberal citizens for good schools has met some opposition to two

00:47:06.949 - 00:47:25.229

proposed changes in the district's employee policies. Reinstated school board superintendent George Garver has proposed reducing the mandatory retirement age from 70 to 65 abandoning a consultation agreement with the Houston Principals Association after it expires this year. The main body of opposition has come from the Houston

00:47:25.239 - 00:47:42.010

Principals Association who have requested a formal public grievance hearing on the two questions. The retirement age change would affect some 400 of the school district's employees including many principals. Johnny Brue, the nude. Really, it's a matter of getting enough money to run a campaign against Richard

00:47:42.020 - 00:47:56.469

Nixon. Now, if mccluskey comes close in New Hampshire, and that would be 30 40% of the vote, which would be unprecedented in the Republican part of it because it really Republican voters there are fairly conservative. If he got that much, he could probably count on uh

00:47:56.479 - 00:48:06.439

enough uh enough monetary support that would enable him to run a good campaign and convince Republicans around the country that, that he indeed is in the race for, for keeps.
