Considering what the convicted criminals of that administration command in lecture fees, the feo-o Development Office had to shell out a lot of devalued dollars to get the man who saved the world to speak at the Rice Associates banquet. While his hosts could have had him appear before a gathering of substantial contributors to the university, it was decided to add a talk for the students. My prejudice against fetes for rich donors aside, I would like to commend the Vice-President W. W. Akers and the Development Office for their generosity. They didn't \ UN have to do it.

As any Chem 101 student will confirm, there is an obvious esthetic difference between the two facilities. By the time this Thresher appears, the difficulty might have already been resolved. (I hope so.) Nevertheless the final location remained TBA for almost two weeks. Granted there is a lack of suitable places for public meetings— if the audience is too large for Hamman or the RMC Grand Hall and too small for threshing-it-out - the stadium, forget it. Eventually someone may build a medium-sized auditorium and more than likely the music school will be the department to do it.

I cannot help but feel whenever I look at a work by Michelangelo that he was influenced to a great extent. Consider Giotto's Madonna ANEFCASi and Fire Hydrant, this was a man who knew as well as any.

The sensuous world which Raphael has created in The School of Athens (Vatican Library) may not be apparent to those with an untrained eye, but on close inspection it UFI AFTER becomes all too obvious that under the flowing academic robes those men are wearing no clothes. It is common knowledge that Raphael loved to undress his figures with his paint brush, only to cover them up quickly with broad strokes when he heard the steps of the Pope approaching GOUftL down the hall.
