After years of abusing my body in ways too horrible to describe, I no doubt need to exercise. Monday afternoon, however, I did not want to discover how many sit-ups I could do in 60 seconds. Nor did I wish to determine how many inches I could reach while seated on the Autry Court floor. Unfortunately, I must survive the ordeal of physical education 101a to graduate from Rice University. As a senior who has attempted to pass physical education several times, I resent the imposition of this course on my person. Why does Rice require us to attend courses that focus on the body and not the mind? Perhaps the university believes that a healthy body creates a healthy mind. This Aryan ideal may easily be debunked when one examines the cases of such hopeless alcoholics as William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Dylan Thomas who produced literary masterpieces. Scientists, such as the fumbling Albert Einstein who wore large furry slippers to avoid falling through holes in the universe, do not always represent paragons of health. Many of the world's greatest thinkers would not have been able to pass Rice physical education. I do not claim such brilliance; I merely wish •Hi to argue that physical prowess is not related to mental prowess. My main point against physical education is that the course does not do what it pretends to do. After taking conditioning, I EXPANDING THE HEDGES/by Chris Ekren was not conditioned.

Proceeding from Latin to Greek, Rice's Classics Department stages its second theatrical venture in less than a year. The Rice cast members from last spring's latinate Rudens felt so strongly about the need for classical theater that they donated their efforts, their time, and even their money in order to produce The Bacchae of Euripides. Producer Kathryn van der Pol believes that this determination of the cast will make this production even more successful. The students themselves raised nearly half of the funds for the play; the remainder Rice's Classics Department stages Euripides' Bacchae. of the funds were given by the Division of Humanities and the oboeist is Maureen Malone, a Rudens, it should be a worthwhile Department of Spanish, graduate student from the expenditure of your time.

"All of a Sudden (It's Too Late)" features Partridge's songwriting ability at it's best, describing the emotional vacuum of modern society with a ON'WMP^Icx^MMRAGE MUY'' sense of wistful compassion that is lacking in most of the modern day Kafkas (e.g., Gary Newman or The Cure).

But they've managed to meet that challenge four times already, and will hopefully, somehow, do it again.

I recommend the latter, of course, but the American version has most of the good songs and will save you a few bucks.) —Matt Petersen ATTENTION ! Writers the last day to enter!
