There's no doubt that the Kansas City Chiefs is professional football's number one team. The question comes in pinpointing the real key to their success. And coach Hank Stram gave us a possible clue. You see Casey's big strong boy, spend a week in Mardi Gras City before

00:00:49.819 - 00:01:02.270

Sunday's game, but coach Stram would not allow his players to sleep with their women at any time during the week. Perhaps the coach thought that if the fellows were hot and bothered enough about not getting any for a full week, maybe they'd play better on Sunday

00:01:02.279 - 00:01:24.949

afternoon. Sure enough, the Chiefs put it to Minnesota 23 to 7 to win the Super Bowl and there can be no question about what each winning player just might be using his $15,000 to buy at this very moment, Pat Baum ktru News, the A commentary from

Michael Stewart has tried to calm widespread fears that victorious Nigerian forces might massacre defenseless tribesmen during final operations in the war. With the Afram appearing on television. Stewart said it would be quite wrong to assume that this will be an opportunity for genocide. Sounds a bit

00:02:05.360 - 00:02:24.009

like ensuring charred rubble against fire after the home was burned to the ground and the family wiped out. By the way. Sources in London say Prime Minister Wilson and his ministers regard Nigeria's success as vindicating their policy of continuing arms shipments to the federal side in

00:03:28.529 - 00:03:42.804

beginning of the second half, but not so as the the margin was extended to one time of nearly a lead of nearly 40 points. The final score was 96 to 69. Mark Worley finally wound up with 17 points as he hit a hot spot right toward

00:03:42.815 - 00:03:59.934

from John Doe January 19th, 1970 time, 35 seconds. The Student Senate has scheduled its first meeting of the decade this Tuesday night at seven o'clock in the conference room of the R MC. It hopes to start the new year by literally cleaning the slate. The principal

00:07:20.959 - 00:07:36.339

item on the agenda will be the first reading of a new Student Association constitution. Revisions have been suggested by a committee headed by George Greens. And the thrust of the proposed reforms is towards a more streamlined and efficient student senate. There's plenty of unfinished business that

00:07:36.350 - 00:08:03.130

also might be considered curriculum revision, the Campan Ely referendum and maybe even the election of an interco court chairman John Dor Ktru news report from the Houston school administration building. Pad Ba 73 seconds. January 19th, 1970. It was the People's night out at the Houston school

00:08:03.140 - 00:08:21.299

district's administration building this evening. An informal meeting was scheduled to dispense information and answer questions concerning the future of desegregation in Houston. But the meeting nearly turned into a melee to use school board president Leonard Robbins description, Doctor Robbins and the school district superintendent attempted to

00:08:21.309 - 00:08:37.780

explain that two plans have been submitted to Federal Court for review. One, the Freedom of Choice program which is now in effect. And two a neighborhood zoning plan which does not include bussing. In addition, Doctor Robbins emphasized that he hoped the judge would grant the schools

00:08:37.789 - 00:08:56.059

more time to improve on their proposals. But the anxious and noisy crowd wanted only to know how they could petition to change the judge's mind. A mind which however, has not yet rendered a decision. Real communication was difficult and strained. Indeed, it is noteworthy that those

00:08:56.070 - 00:09:20.599

people who voted in November 75% in support of the present system of desegregation have so little faith in the democratic processes to believe they've been counted out before even picking up the bat Pat Baum Ktru news, John Doer's report on the Student Senate meeting, January 20th,

In other action, the proposal of the undergraduate curriculum committee was endorsed and commended. The first reading of

00:10:00.489 - 00:10:19.960

00:10:41.039 - 00:10:56.159

and Representative Senate. A second reading and final vote will come in a meeting called for next Tuesday, January the 27th. 1 of the principal features of the Senate's reform package is the reduction of the size of the actual voting body. Specifically, colleges will no longer be

00:10:56.169 - 00:11:13.375

rep presented by both a president and a senator. Instead, the voting members of the Senate will be each of the college presidents and off campus senator, the Student Association president, two vice presidents and a single secretary treasurer. Another feature includes the creation of a Catch All

00:11:13.385 - 00:11:30.151

advisory committee which would meet with the Student Senate once a month throughout the academic year. This advisory committee would include the chairman and representatives of and for various student association committees as well as representatives from campus media, the Interco Court, the Honor Council, the Student Center

00:11:30.161 - 00:11:46.702

board and the freshman class provisions were made to strengthen cooper operation between the committees of individual colleges. Finally, the Senate wants to raise from one half to two thirds the majority of votes required in a referendum of the student body to overrule an action of the

00:11:46.711 - 00:12:08.640

Senate itself in other motions. The proposal of the undergraduate curriculum committee was endorsed and the date for a general election was set February the 24th. The filing deadline for that election is February the 10th John Dor Ktru news special report on campus security from Paul Munsey

00:12:08.650 - 00:12:32.349

January 22nd, 1970 time 100 seconds three black rice students allegedly stopped by campus police and identification demanded of them to prove they were not out to mug somebody. $600 worth of merchandise, stolen from rooms in Baker College, $800 worth of stereo equipment taken from a room

00:12:32.359 - 00:12:51.229

in Hanson during a football game, cars and college furniture vandalized. These incidents bring the question of campus security into the open what can be is being and should be done about policing this small relatively quiet campus at present. The task of policing the campus 24 hours

a day, seven days a week belongs to a force of only 10 men who have no power of arrest are stationed mainly at the women's colleges at night and around the parking lots in the daytime. And whose most exciting job usually is intervening in water fights

00:13:06.619 - 00:13:23.479

and penny raids. Mr Harold Rhodes, Director of Safety and Security. In an interview with KTRU emphasized that the police needed co-operation from the students in order to ensure maximum protection perhaps this is not enough in a letter soon to be sent to Dr Sims of the

00:13:23.489 - 00:13:40.640

business office. Baker College's President Carry Van Del told KTRU news that Baker would present the university with a bill for the lost property along with suggestions as to improving security. Since most of the thefts occur at times when many people are away from the colleges such

00:13:40.650 - 00:13:55.960

as meal times and football games, it would seem worthy to consider the possibility of stationing one policeman at each college during these key times, there is extra expense naturally, but one might ask the victims of the theft if they thought it would be worth it. Paul

00:14:22.729 - 00:14:36.520

the quote Dream House of Lamont Young and Marion Zilla. I was in for a rude awakening, sitting on the floor watching the light show and listening to what I will describe as sound for. I certainly would not give it the appellation of music. I expectantly waited

00:14:36.530 - 00:14:51.224

for the performance to begin. My patients began competing with the stamina of the two pair of vocal chords operating in the front. As time passed. I realized that this was the performance described as a total environmental set of frequency structures in the media of sound and

00:14:51.234 - 00:15:08.590

light. The dream seemed to me to be more of a nightmare. The audience however seemed turned on both figuratively and literally, the brochure explaining the exhibit is an exasperating scientific or pseudo scientific form containing lines such as the frequency components of the sine waves are tuned

00:15:08.599 - 00:15:24.989

on highly stable sine wave oscillators using oscilloscopes to achieve chords and intervals in which every pair of frequency components can be represented by some rational fraction. I searched my mind for an adjective to describe the sounds being produced. The description given in the brochure is perhaps

00:15:25.000 - 00:15:39.549

the most suitable a drone. As for the light show, I found it difficult to endure the noise long enough to appreciate the slowly changing light patterns. No doubt many are thinking me an unfair critic, a reactionary conservative with no appreciation for the finer things in life.

00:15:39.559 - 00:15:52.859

So be it. I do recommend highly the oil painting and print show. Now at the Art Barn, a collection of Dutch masters including a Rembrandt is there on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is well worth the effort to see the paintings. This has

stage blood thrown on it. So, if they're, they have something old that they wouldn't mind getting stained, it'll wash out 930 in the morning. And, um, there's going to be a, a scene which involves two groups of students, a group of demonstrators and a group of

00:16:37.669 - 00:16:53.080

anti demonstrators, um, who meet each other on the quadrangle and engage in what turns out to be a riot, a violent pro, a violent um confrontation and we've had a lot of cooperations. Uh campus security has volunteered their men uh as uh to give us some

00:17:43.359 - 00:17:56.520

00:18:56.729 - 00:19:16.959

faculty vote strength on the curriculum reform proposal. Doctor Steven Baker January 25th, 1970 time, 30 seconds, it's always hard to know how a large group is gonna vote. And it often depends upon the climate of things at the time of the vote. Uh, judging from our,

00:19:16.969 - 00:19:35.270

the res response we've gotten from faculty members, uh, who have taken the time to reply and, and in response to those that we, whose opinions we have, uh solicited. And in respon and the response of the faculty council itself would lead me to believe that something

00:19:35.510 - 00:19:57.400

along these lines is almost certainly going to go through, uh, the time scale. Uh, the time is getting a little bit short for getting things through this spring. I think it's possible. Still doctors, Doctor Steven Baker comments on the curriculum change. He says it's not the

00:19:57.410 - 00:20:19.380

final draft or in final form. January 25th, 1970 time, 25 seconds. Well, I think if we had thought it was the final draft and the, the, uh, the, uh, the ultimate uh copy we wouldn't have, uh, I don't think it would have been worth anybody's time.

00:20:19.390 - 00:20:40.989

I think what we're trying to do is solicit comment and find out where it is weak, uh, and find out, uh, the reaction of the, of the university community at large. And before we actually get it into really final form basketball outlook from Chip Matthews, January

00:20:59.790 - 00:21:12.050

encounter with Texas and Austin make the coming week one of the biggest of the year for the Als. Fortunately, things are looking up in several areas. Captain Gary Rice just started to assert himself as the leader of this team as needed and his 29.7 average leads

00:21:12.060 - 00:21:26.560

conference scores. The SMU game also featured this year's best efforts from a couple of last year's heroes, Steve Wendell and Jim Naples defensively. The Owls which had been yielding opponents a 52% shooting percentage from the field held SMU to 30 of 70. The ags on the

00:21:26.569 - 00:21:43.219

other hand, don't feature a lot of finesse, but there are a bunch of big guys who can shoot well with both teams fighting for their lives. It should be a great one. Chip Matthews KTRU sports halftime report on the Al Aggie basketball game. January 27th, 1970

00:22:44.619 - 00:23:00.839

1970. Student Senate is hustling to bring to a completion several items of unfinished business. Tuesday night, there will be a second reading and final vote on its own constitution revision package. George Grene as chairman of the committee, which prepared the package explains what steps must still

00:23:00.849 - 00:23:16.150

be taken to enact the reforms. The first step has been that is that you have to have a read of the according to the present constitution, the vote on the amendments can be taken at the first meeting after the first reading. That is the second meeting

00:23:16.260 - 00:23:32.089

and this will be next Tuesday night. At which time the Senate will vote on these amendments. Another objective of the present Senate has been to secure a student representative to the University Board of Governors. The agenda for Tuesday night's meeting includes a progress report on this

00:23:32.099 - 00:23:57.520

issue as well as further discussion of the general elections which have been scheduled for February the 24th John Doe KTRU news review of uh Rice Aggie basketball games. January 27th, 1970 from Chip Matthews time, 50 seconds, the Rice Owls helped themselves back into the Southwest conference

00:23:57.530 - 00:24:10.609

race with what has to be considered their best effort of the season. A 6858 victory over the boys from Aggie Land. The Owls in a real must game got a consistently fine effort from everybody on the floor for a full 40 minutes. Gary Rice led all

00:24:10.619 - 00:24:24.140

scorers with 21 and Tom Meyer added 18. But the big story has to be the continued re emergence of Steve Wendell and Jim Naples along with a fine from Don str giving the solid big men for the first time in a long, long while the Owls

00:24:24.150 - 00:24:37.650

out rebound at A and M 3632 and a great deal of credit for this has to go to coach George Mahaffey himself, a former Aggie Mahaffey's Frosh also beat their Aggie counterparts 70 to 63 getting the best game so far out of Steve Msha with 21

00:24:37.660 - 00:25:04.829

points and 12 rebounds. Next up, Texas and Austin. This has been Chip Matthews ktru sports. Gary May's interview concerning the anti GE rally to be held. January 29th, 1972 cuts. Would it be just uh just the strikers or the union management? You mean union leadership? Yeah,

00:25:04.839 - 00:25:27.880

I I imagine it would be both probably be had some talk on the on the farm workers try to tell you a little bit on Roy and talk about that too. That was Bill Katzenberg being interviewed. Gary May is conducting an interview concerning Co ed dorm

00:25:27.890 - 00:25:46.689

possibility in rice from January 28th, 1970 for cuts. Ok. You see one of the questions about, um, would you be willing to change or, you know, to try it for a trial period? Would you be willing to move to Brown? And the other one is, would

00:25:46.699 - 00:26:07.270

you mind people moving in here if it didn't disturb your privacy? I think that's, I think that was the gist of the two questions. George Grannis is speaking Brown College had a poll and uh it questioned whether girls would be willing to move in the men's

00:26:07.280 - 00:26:31.540

dorms and whether uh they would be willing to have men move into their dorm. And it was, and it was overwhelmingly in favor Carrie Van Dale being interviewed. We're looking into the possibilities. Now of an experimental arrangement being worked out where mutual cons, mutually consenting groups

00:26:31.550 - 00:26:45.979

would uh transfer to the opposite colleges. But there's a lot of, uh there are a lot of problems, you know, that have to be worked out before it. Feasible. Well, for example, the living rules over in Brown, in which they're closed, they're locked up at 12

00:26:45.989 - 00:27:11.459

o'clock and Paul Laka gives a basketball summary, two minutes in length. January 28th, 1970. If Tuesday night's freshman basketball game was indicative good times are ahead for Rice basketball fortunes. The Owlets defeated the previously unbeaten Texas Aggie Fish by 70 to 63 in a preliminary to

00:27:11.469 - 00:27:25.369

the varsity game. The outlets edge in manpower was obvious. They held a big edge in height, physical skill and apparently brains mark will brought gasps of astonishment from A and M Partisans in the stands, not only due to his ability but also due to the amazing

00:27:25.380 - 00:27:41.579

resemblance he be to an Aggie superstar of four or five years past John Beasley Worley's physical appearance style of shooting a low flat trajectory that practically explodes the basket. And even his mannerism suggests the visage of Beasley who now star stars for the professional Dallas Chaparrals

00:27:42.099 - 00:27:57.199

when Beasley led his Aggies to a conference championship several years back. However, he didn't have as much talent playing alongside him. So next year should prove interesting. The last time the Owls had an outstanding postman was 1963 when Rice Great Kendall Ryan was a senior. If

00:27:57.209 - 00:28:11.479

Worley keeps on improving, he should make the old grads forget all about Kendall Ryan. In combination with Guards Rice and Meyer, the lineup next year should spell champion. The matter of champion however cannot be ruled out as far as this year is concerned. Tuesday night's victory

00:28:11.489 - 00:28:23.180

over A and M puts Rice in a good position to challenge league leading Baylor that match up comes in a couple of weeks. But for the present, the s get a chance to fatten their record at the expense of the Texas Longhorns this Saturday in Austin,

00:29:20.000 - 00:29:34.750

great deal of excitement has been caused on the Rice campus by the proposal of co-educational dormitories. The Brown College cabinet has released a questionnaire to its members trying to determine what popular sentiment is so far. The results have been overwhelmingly in favor of the proposal. The

00:29:34.760 - 00:29:47.160

proposal has not been presented to the administration yet as things are still being worked out on the college level. A number of meetings were planned for Thursday night at the different colleges to talk over the idea. KTRU has talked with Chris, a who has been working

00:29:47.170 - 00:30:01.660

with Lee Horseman and asked her about the possibility of some sort of experimental program this spring. Well, it's hard to say we're working on it. We've got a hard at work on it right now, trying to find people behind it, trying to find out how the

00:30:02.140 - 00:30:16.229

systems like this have worked in other universities. Trying to find out if an experiment would do. We definitely like to set up some plan for next year. But the experiment this year is depends a lot on, well, even if we could get parental permission here at

00:30:16.239 - 00:30:35.790

Brown because it turns out that that's necessary according to our over here. So, I mean, there's really a lot to consider. Ktru will have reports as things happen. This has been Jack Reeves for Ktru news report on the anti ge rally at rise, January 30th 1970

00:30:35.800 - 00:30:56.920

00:30:56.930 - 00:31:14.810

the rally around 1230. Up to 100 people of widely varying ideological inclinations heard R ac student leaders Frank Veering and Matt Harris along with Doug Bernhardt who deemed himself an outside agitator speak more in terms of the coming ROTC confrontation and less concerning the GE strike,

00:31:15.439 - 00:31:30.140

the workers have won. The strike is over to an extent said Veering. But on February the third at 1400 hours at Fondren, there will be two lectures instead of one. Veering said the R AC does plan a confrontation at the ROTC recruiting meeting to be held

00:31:30.150 - 00:31:47.780

in regarding the confrontation. Revolutionary action committee leader Matt Harris told KTRU news, I think that uh trying to uh knock ROTC off campus is just an immediate goal here is, but I think this is a very good place to start and uh this is a very

00:31:47.790 - 00:32:04.869

good campus uh to start on because there's lots of potential here. I think this is uh uh Rice University is a, is an oasis of intelligence and uh and a great sea of Texas redneck. Is he further stated that the confrontation would not be intended as

00:32:04.880 - 00:32:24.130

a direct affront to Razzi members as individuals, especially R RT C cadets. They're not stupid, they're not rednecks, they're, they're very intelligent, open minded people. And so I would hope that we don't attack the uh RT C cadets on a personal scale. I hope, I hope

00:32:24.140 - 00:32:40.319

they will see we're attacking the institution which they have unfortunately become involved in a few harsh words were exchanged today. However, as Razzi leader Thresher columnist and self proclaimed moderate Ed Dykes was on hand to defend his position. Dykes said he spoke for students who were

00:32:40.329 - 00:32:55.319

satisfied with the university situation. Dean Wham was not present at the rally. In fact, only a half dozen or so faculty members, Doctor Alan Chapman, among them could be seen discreetly lingering among the cloisters. By 130 the group had dwindled to a handful and the action

00:32:55.329 - 00:33:22.510

was over until Tuesday. And now the rumors fly. Paul Lavin Ktru news interview with Matt Harris of the anti ge rally from Paul Laka January 30th 1970 time, two minutes confrontation as an intended revolutionary tactic may again for a while at least become a part of

00:33:53.329 - 00:34:10.159

leader Matt Harris told KTRU news, I think that uh trying to uh knock ROTC off campus is just an immediate goal, but I think this is a very good place to start and uh this is a very good campus uh to start on because there's lots

00:34:10.169 - 00:34:27.649

of potential here I think this is uh uh Rice University is a, is an oasis of intelligence and a and a great sea of Texas redneck is Harris said that this was integrally related with the group's long range objectives concerning the rice community. You can uh

00:34:27.679 - 00:34:47.948

uh get a few more intelligent ha ha rice students. Uh Hi to our struggle and uh help them say uh see the way things are and help them see the inevitabilities regarding their methods. Harris said no, I think we need to fuck the system just any

00:34:47.958 - 00:35:04.439

way we can fuck freedom. I mean, I don't care if, if uh we say we're going to have freedom of speech or freedom of choice at all. There are certain prerogatives that are just a little more important than, than, than uh freedom of speech right now.

00:35:05.110 - 00:35:18.379

Taking this precept into consideration Frank Veering R ac leader in a speech at the rally Friday afternoon said, speaking of members of the rice community, if they want to fight on the side of the oppressed, they'll decide that the Razi have no right to be there.

00:35:18.620 - 00:35:40.669

Harris stated that the confrontation would not be intended as a direct confrontation to ROTC members as individuals, especially Rice RT C Cadets. They're not stupid, they're not rednecks, they're, they're very intelligent, open minded people. And so I would hope that we don't attack the uh RT

00:35:40.679 - 00:36:00.229

C cadets on a personal scale. I hope, I hope they will see we're attacking the institution which they have unfortunately become involved in that the ROTC members will view the situation in this way remains to be seen. Paul Laka Ktru News. This is the news promo

Doctor John Margrave undergraduate curriculum committee is a welcome exception. This is

00:36:26.250 - 00:36:42.199

Pat Baum Ktru news director and I will be host Sunday night to members of this committee who will discuss the proposed and far reaching undergraduate curriculum changes. Doctor Stephen Baker from the physics department and student committee member David Gibson will answer your questions concerning the effect

these course changes will have on you be prepared with questions to phone to our panel this Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. When KTRU News presents a special report on changes in the Rice undergraduate curriculum review by Paul Laina of a Lightnin Hopkins concert held at the

00:37:02.800 - 00:37:22.679

Jewish Community Center. The review dated uh February 1st 1970 time, 40 seconds to catch lightning Hopkins any time is to catch the real blues, but to catch him when he's in the midst of hard times is to witness a legend Sunday night at the Jewish community

00:37:22.689 - 00:37:33.909

center, Hopkins played to a standing room only crowd despite the fact that he had just gotten out of the hospital due to a car wreck. I don't feel too good. He said, but I don't let that bother me. He proceeded to sing about his back door

00:37:33.919 - 00:37:44.969

woman, the one with the skinny legs and the big feet. And he asked, when was the last time you've been home? And he ladies and Jim in the crowd until the blues was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. And he was ably supported

00:37:44.979 - 00:38:00.120

by master folk collector, John G. Lomax Junior who kept the house laughing with his tales sung a cappella. And also Weldon Jug boy Bonner who hails from somewhere between Allington and Cat Springs who warned everyone to stay away from Lyons Avenue and sung about the railroads.

As Lightnin said this is the Rio Blues. Paul Lavin ktru news. Paul Lavin's report of February 3rd, 1970 of the R AC protest of ROTC recruiting time. 35 seconds, empathy, rationality and all that is rice saw to it Tuesday that the scheduled revolutionary action committee protests

00:38:27.879 - 00:38:43.570

against ROTC recruiting became nothing more than a typical rice protest. Even the presence of uh activists Doug Bernhardt and Barty Hale, combined with the very vocal presence of a generous section of rice jocks failed to generate much more than a few laughs. The physics amphitheater remained

00:38:43.580 - 00:38:59.459

basically serene throughout as the initial casting of rhetorical questions generated something which resembled a rendering of rational discourse between protesters and army people. Dean of students, Frederick Wham who was present at the activity indicated his pleasure with the outcome of the whole proceedings which at its

00:38:59.469 - 00:39:23.879

height was viewed by just over 100 and 50 people of all ideological inclinations. This is Paul Laina Ktru news commentary from Pat Baum February 2nd 1970 concerning the anti crime bill proposed by the administration time, 50 seconds, probably the most discouraging portion of the President's anti

00:39:23.889 - 00:39:42.000

crime bill is that section permitting certain law officers to break into homes without knocking or identifying themselves when searching for illegal drugs. The Senate gave quick approval to the proposal. No one wants to go on record as favoring crime but perhaps the House of Representatives will

00:39:42.010 - 00:40:03.520

examine the constitutional question involved with more care and deliberation. If law officers are permitted to act like burglars and constitutional guarantees go unprotected, then certainly the laws at which such questionable measures are aimed in this case, antiquated and unreasonable drug statutes. These laws and the enforcement

00:40:03.530 - 00:40:30.689

procedures must be called up for review. Pat Baum Ktru news, acting President, Doctor Frank Vandever comments and three cuts here on the possibility of a new women's college at Rice February 4th, 1970. The last meeting of the board. Uh one of the members of the board

00:40:30.699 - 00:40:45.719

brought up the question of overcrowding in the women's colleges and everybody agreed that it was tragic and I pointed out how really terrible it was for one year. I was Master of Brown College it was already in 1965 terribly overcrowded. They were doubling and tripling in

00:40:45.729 - 00:41:00.340

some of the rooms and it must be hideously worse. Now, at this meeting, the suggestion was made that we should within the immediate future. Now, what that means? I don't know, but I would hope that it's within the next year. Start building another women's college. Not

00:41:00.350 - 00:41:13.770

wait to be ha have the money given us, but take it out of the endowment and just hope, invest it and see if we can't amortize it back. I believe this is now not the case and I I really see hope for this coming in within

a year. Web Canard's review of the Jones Melodrama from February 4th 1970 times 70 seconds. This year's edition of the Jones Melodrama is up to past years, standards of excellence in the series which dates back off and on for some five years. This year's melodrama has

00:41:38.580 - 00:41:55.239

an extremely convoluted plot and co directors, Lois Kincheloe and Kathy Mack make good use of an interesting set designed by Sandy Havens of Rice players fame. There are several standouts in the cast. Debbie Moore as Nelly, the heroine, Lance Bateman as Adam Oar the hero and

00:41:55.250 - 00:42:11.580

Andrea Castles as Ida Rheingold, the villainous are adequate. Frank Orson as Mookie Mc Goggins is very good in his first melodrama effort. But the real standout of the cast is Mac Lankford playing Monroe Murgatroyd, the evil villain right down to the twirl of his mustache, his

00:42:11.590 - 00:42:28.159

betrayal is exaggerated as melodrama should be. But Lankford's villain is also extremely convincing. Overall, the tremendous effort of the cast directors, staff and friends really has paid off. This is a fine show well worth the effort of going, especially in view of the bargain. It's 75

00:44:16.500 - 00:44:33.149

conference co-leader Baylor University. The Bears along with TCU bring in a 51 conference record, one game ahead of Rice Baylor after a very strong start has slipped recently with two close, two point victories and a 19 point defeat to conference teams. Their rebounding and front line

00:44:33.159 - 00:44:49.909

strength though still makes the bears probable odds. UNFAV for the Southwest conference championship counting Baylor's front line strength of Gatewood Chapman and Bowman will be the quickness of Rice's small trio of Reist Meyer and Snyder. They are the key to victory lies though, for the way

00:44:49.919 - 00:45:02.270

to a Rice victory will be a lot of pressure and pressing defense on Baylor's guards and ball handlers. Look for a very close game and if a rice victory, definite strengthened conference hopes, Joe Bossman Ktru Sports.
