INTERNATIONAL
BRIEFS...
(ZNS) A study by the
government's strategy council
on drug abuse concludes that
marijuana use in America is
approaching what it terms a
"saturation level."
The researchers state that at
least 22 million Americans
have smoked pot in the past
year alone; they say that the
number of grass users is now
so large, the figure is unlikely
to increase subsantially in the
future.
One of the more surprising
findings is the government's
estimate that as many as 4
million Americans have used
cocaine. This would represent
almost two percent of the U.S.
population.
(ZNS) Bizarre new experi-
ments on cockroaches indicate
t h a t those fast-crawling
insects are even smarter than
was formerly believed.
Researchers at Michigan
State University report that
cockroaches can learn some
things faster after their heads
have been chopped off.
Dr. K a t h r y n Lovell, a
biophysicist at the university
says that headless roaches
can live up to a week after the
beheading because of nerve
cell clusters in other parts of
their bodies.
Roaches with their heads
removed have actually learned
to avoid painful electrical
shocks more quickly t h a n

According to Rush maga-

acheived by the injection of a
deadly snake venom. Persons
who experience the high
reportedly build up their
resistance to the venom by
recieving small doses until
their tolerance is increased.
Finally, they are able to take
a normally fatal dose, and
experience a death rush that
allegedly makes one fall to the
floor in ecstasy. There's one
small catch, however: one
reportedly never knows if the
death rush is just a rush . . . or
the real thing.
(ZNS) A doctor at Michigan
State University is reporting
that up to 300 Americans are
killed accidentally each year
while engaging in a bizarre
sex practice that has been
unpublicized by the media.
Dr. Myron Faber says that
the practice is commonly
referred to as "terminal sex,"
and generally involves a man
hanging himself by the neck
with a noose to enhance sexual
gratification during mastur-
bation. The idea behind the
practice, the doctor says, is
that releasing the noose at .the
very last moment before
unconsciousness allegedly
increases sensations.
A slight miscalculation,
Faber adds, often means
death.
The doctor says his research
indicates there are 200 to 300
deaths by this practice each
year in the U.S.—and that 80%
of those engaging in the
practice are between 14 and 22
years old.
The practice of "eroticized
hanging" receives no news
coverage, the doctor says,
because when a victim is

Caliban: expression through contemporary means
by Jay Shilstone
Last Saturday night I had
the immense pleasure of
seeing the Houston Ballet's
final performance of Caliban.
Caliban was not only a very
good performance but also
showed t h a t classical
performers are becoming more
willing to step out of the old
ways and express themselves
with contemporary methods.
This is one of the best steps I
have seen the performing arts
take since I can remember.
Caliban is a rock ballet so of
course it started off with a
disco dance. Gradually, the
ideas behind The Tempest,
which Caliban is based on,
became apparent. Prospero
was removed from his
dukedom and his brother,
Antonio, took over. From there
The Tempest is acted out but
it is shown through Caliban's
eyes.
The show had its high spots

and its not-so-high spots. It
never had a low spot. The
disco dance at the beginning
underwent an excellent
transformation from chaos to
the beginnings of the story.
My favorite dance of the entire
evening was "Drifting Along",
which was performed by

and knew the torment that

With this sort of work, never
let it be said that ballet ignores
reality. The depth of human
emotion shown in Caliban's
dance is the only reality.
The second act was not as
enjoyable as the first. For

strained, as if the dancers were
c o n c e n t r a t i n g m o r e on
dancing than on expressing a
feeling. Caliban's dream about
winning Miranda seemed
forced and too stylized. Also,
there seemed to be too much
subtlety for the dream to really
be Caliban's. The third act
picked up again but still didn't
reach the heights of the first
act. The show evidently
decided it had shown the
audience enough background
in the first two acts and so
"let's hurry up and get the
d a m n t h i n g over w i t h . "
Caliban's final imprisonment
by Prospero just happened
without enough preparation.
The dancers themselves
were magnificent. Propero
(Whit Ha worth) danced with a
power and vengeance that
approached demonic possess-
ion. His effect on the audience
was tremendous and was oh-
so-close to a standing ovation
that one was tempted to stand
up a n y w a y . Ariel (Leo
Ahonen) was very strong in
his dances but seemed to lack
the lightness one usually
associates with a fairy or
sprite. His pas de deux with
Iris (Soili Arvola) approached
the lightness and fun his
entire performance should
have had. Caliban (Joey
Hancock) was a little weak for
the first few minutes but
picked up rapidly as the show
p r o g r e s s e d . He s h o w e d
himself in the best light in the
second act when he started to
think about all the problems
that a ruler must face. Bravo,
Jory.
Miranda (Melissa Lowe) and
Ferdinand (Michael Job) both
provided a strong characteri-
zation as the young couple in
love. " D r i f t i n g A l o n g "
provided these two with their
vehicle into the hearts of the
audience. Dorio Perez turned
in a good, but curiously un-
ballet-like, performance as
Trinculo, the jester, with
Steven Cook as the stoned
butler. The big complaint with
the characters is that William
Pizzuto was not allowed to
develop his triple role as
Antonio, Alonso, and
Sebastian more.
Caliban seems to be a
major step in a new direction.
St. Elmo's Fire deserved and
received a standing ovation
for their music and perfor-
mances. As a whole, Caliban
was the best of the few times I
have seen the Houston Ballet
perform. My rather weak
interest in ballet has been
replaced by the hope of seeing
more as soon as possible. Even
those who "don't like ballet"
should check it out. They
might be surprised.

The Corn Is Green,
currently playing at the Alley,
is a moving story of a teacher's
attempt to move a young
Welsh coal miner out of the
mines and into the world of
literature. Based on the life of
the author, Emlyn Williams,
Corn fills the audience with a
respect for the resolute
teacher and a desire to see her
dreams fulfilled.
The beginning of the show is
rather slow. The audience is
forced to shift gears and
preparation. The first break in
the tension of the transfer
occurs with the entrance of
Bessie Watty (Christine Rose)
as the housekeeper's cockney
daughter. Ms. Rose does an
excellent job in her portrayal
of the would-be seductress.

established in her house, Ms.
Reid opens her house to the

II. UNDERGRADUATES ON THE
UNIVERSITY STANDING COM-
MITTEES
A. The Place and Importance of
Undergraduates
In the latter half of the 1960's,
s t u d e n t s were considered for
a p p o i n t m e n t to t h e U n i v e r s i t y
Standing Committees. The Student
Assocation S e n a t e ' s suggestion to
consider u n d e r g r a d u a t e s on these
committees was given a favorable
review by then President Pitzer and for
the first time, students were allowed to
participate formally in the process of
University government. Since that
time, students serving on the Standing
Committees have demonstrated their
abilities to perform with maturity and
responsibility and have often been the
source of meaningful and valuable
contributions both to their particular
committees and to the University as a
whole.
It is the general consensus on the
committee c h a i r m e n and f a c u l t y
members that most undergraduate
m e m b e r s a r e a b l e to e s t a b l i s h
t h e m s e l v e s as t h o u g h t f u l a n d
considered participants in committee
affairs and as such are able to
command a high degree of respect for
their particular viewpoints.
The success of undergraduates on the
Standing Committees has allowed a
gradual increase in both the number of
committees to which undergraduates
are appointed and the number of
u n d e r g r a d u a t e s appointed to each
particular committee. It is hoped that
these trends will continue.
As e v i d e n c e d by i n c r e a s i n g
undergraduate participation on the
Standing Committees, students play an
important role in committee affairs.
The respect with which they are heard
establishes them as valuable sources of
g e n e r a l s t u d e n t i n p u t in t h e
governance process of the University.
As with any position of responsibility,
however, overall success lies largely
with the determination expressed by
the individual appointee.
B. The Selection Process
The selection process may be divided
into two steps:
Step 1. Early in the second semester,
the Student Association S e n a t e
conducts interviews for interested
students. The Senate is broken down
into several subcommittees to which
the Standing Committees are assigned.
The number of Standing Committees
assigned to each subcommittee is
d e t e r m i n e d a c c o r d i n g to t h e
anticipated number of interviews for
each S t a n d i n g Committee. For
example, one Senate subcommittee
may be responsible for conducting
interviews for the Committee on
Admissions and the Committee on
Religious Activities because they entail
a high and low interview request lever
respectively. Present undergraduate
S t a n d i n g Committee members are
invited to participate in the conduction
of interviews for their p a r t i c u l a r
committees.
The subcommittees, after completing
all requested interviews, caucus to
determine which student they feel are
best qualified for nomination. The
Senate as a whole then meets, receives
s u b c o m m i t t e e n o m i n a t i o n s for
c o n s i d e r a t i o n , organizes the
n o m i n a t i o n s and forwards the
nominations report to the President of
the University.
Step 2. Section II-D below describes
the transfer of nominations to the
President's Office. In the great majority
of cases the President, in selecting his
appointees, is guided by the relative
strength of the Senate's recommenda-
tion with regard to each nominee. For
example, if A, B, and C are submitted as
nominees, and B is given the highest
recommendation by the Senate, then B
will most likely receive the President's
appointment.
C. Serving More Than One Year
Students who are presently serving
on a Standing Committee are eligible
for re-nomination. As mentioned
before, present Standing Committee
members are invited to participate in
the interviewing of applicants seeking
nomination to their committee. Since
final determination of nominees will be
through the Senate, and since no one
will be allowed to interview himself,
students seeking re-nomination will be
given the same consideration as other
applicants for their positions.
D. Details of Selection
The following is to make clear the
Student Association's understanding
of the procedure to be employed in
d e t e r m i n i n g the u n d e r g r a d u a t e
membership of University Standing
Committees:
1. The Student Association Senate, in
accordance with its recently
developed procedure, will nominate
at least three students for each
undergraduate position.
2. In the even that fewer than three
students interview for a particular
committee position, the Senate will
nominate only the number who are
interested.
3. The n a m e s of s t u d e n t s being
nominated for each committee will
be arranged in alphabetical order.
4. Included with each nomination will
be the Senate's appraisal of the
nominee's general q u a l i f i c a t i o n s
and suitability for the committee.
5. All requests made to the President or
other University administrators or
committee chairmen by students
• seeking committee a p p o i n t m e n t s
shall be forwarded to the Student
Association Senate for considera-
tion.
III. THE COMMITTEES
Following is a brief description of the
respective functions, goals and areas of
the committees.
COMMITTEE ON ADMISSIONS
(2 undergraduates)
The Committee on Admissions
concerns itself with admissions of all
undergraduates, both freshmen and
transfers. This concern encompasses
establishing admissions policy and
procedure, and implementing same.
Administration requests of number of
new students, in and out-of-state
quotas, and number in each academic
division serve as a basis for the current
year's admissions policy.
The two undergraduate students
serve as full members of the Committee
and have responsibilities identical to
those of the f a c u l t y and alumni
members. These duties are extensive:
Committee work requires on the
average four hours a week, though
usually less in the first semester and
more in the second. This time is devoted
to reading and evaluating applications,
voting on applications, and conducting
interviews of applicants. A significant
amount of time is also devoted to more
general "public relations" activities,
such as college nights, high school
visits, and dinners for high school
counselors. The Committee works not
only to obtain good students but to
expand Rice's reputation as well.
COMMITTEE ON AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION
(2 undergraduates)
The Committee on A f f i r m a t i v e
Action, as established in compliance
with Federal Equal Opportunity
legislation, serves as a sounding board
for problems concerning affirmative
action, advises on policies and
procedures, and communicates and
publicizes its existence and
potentialities. Students serving on the
Committee participate in the open
discussions during meetings, which

evaluations of the goals and purposes
of t h e C o m m i t t e e . S h o u l d n e w
i n v e s t i g a t i o n s arise, s t u d e n t s are
actively involved in the proceedings.
Affirmative action involves
protection of minority opportunities
a n d i n v e s t i g a t i o n of p o s s i b l e
discrimination in hiring or any other
University or departmental practices.
C u r r e n t l y t h e C o m m i t t e e is
c o n c e n t r a t i n g its efforts on the
e n f o r c e m e n t of m i n o r i t y h i r i n g
requirements within the University.
COMMITTEE ON CAMPUS SAFETY
(1 undergraduate)
The Committee on Campus Safety
meets usually three times per year. The
areas of concern to this committee
include an on-going survey regarding
l a b o r a t o r y s a f e t y s t a n d a r d s and
recommendations pertaining to fire
hazards in the residential colleges and
in the Chemistry Building.
More often than not, specific actions
of the Committee are in response to
particular problem areas. For example,
a fire in Baker College and the injury of
a s t u d e n t in lab h a v e initiated
Committee recommendations. It is
anticipated that as certain segments of
the physical plant, especially the older
sections, demonstrate a general level of
unacceptability from the standpoint of
safety, the Committee will find it
desirable to act more on its own
i n i t i a t i v e . T h i s a n t i c i p a t i o n is
evidenced by the Commission on Goals
and Objectives' task group report on the
physical plant. This particular task
group has placed primary importance
on all aspects of safety maintenance
with regard to the University.

student representatives, a n d the Dean

Registrar a s ex-officio members.
T h e p r i m a r y goal of this committee is
to insure a quality academic education
for every student of the University.
This is accomplished by m a i n t a i n i n g ,
upholding a n d interpreting academic
regulations for all students, with their
best interests in mind.
In the day-to-day functioning of the
Committee, matters affecting student
academic life a r e discussed a n d voted
upon. We advise students on how to
h a n d l e special grievances concerning
e x a m i n a t i o n s and grading procedures.
The committee considers granting
permission to students wishing to take
either more or less t h a n the normal
course load. The Committee readmits
suspended students, a n d also approves
late adds, drops a n d c h a n g e s of
pass/fail options when special
circumstances merit it. The Committee
approves course t r a n s f e r from
exchange programs when normal
t r a n s f e r would not be possible due to
non-correspondence with Rice courses.
As well a s these individual case
considerations, the Committee
discusses policy recommendations to
the University faculty. These include
possible c h a n g e s of drop deadlines to
the last day of classes, and full course
credit for all ROTC courses.
The Committee e n c o u r a g e s all
students, who feel t h a t they h a v e not
been treated fairly or are victims of
circumstances beyond their control, to
petition to this committee so t h a t action
can be taken.
C O M M I T T E E ON
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
(2 undergraduates)
This committee h a s a total of fifteen
members representing the faculty,
Alumni Association, R Association,
Board of Governors, a n d the Student
A s s o c i a t i o n . The two s t u d e n t
r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s were m a d e v o t i n g
members of the Committee for the first
time t h i s year. The purpose of this
committee is to formulate the athletic
policy of Rice University a n d deal
with a n y problems t h a t might arise in
this area.
The C h a i r m a n of the Committee is
Rice's representative to all SWC a n d
NCAA meetings. The a g e n d a of these
meetings are discussed at the
Committee's monthly meetings so t h a t
the C h a i r m a n can get input.
The Committee also h e a r s requests
a n d complaints from various a r e a s
concerning athletics. The following
topics were dealt with in the fall, a n d
will be the focus of continuing concern
during the spring of 1977:
1. Football season ticket prices for
faculty a n d staff.
2. Use of the g y m n a s i u m and athletic
fields by ABC for the upcoming
World Games, scheduled to be held in
Houston in February 1978.

It is d i f f i c u l t to j u d g e t h e
effectiveness of the Committee at this
early stage, since students were just
r e c e n t l y i n c l u d e d in t h e d e c i s i o n -
m a k i n g process. One impediment to the
power of the Committee is its inability
to h a v e a n y control over athletic
d e p a r t m e n t budgets.
T H E LIBRARY COMMITTEE
(1 undergraduate)
The S t a n d i n g Committee on the
Library, quite naturally, h a n d l e s all
facets of the Fondren Library. Its
diverse spheres of influence r a n g e from
t h e m u n d a n e c o n c e r n of c a r r e l l
a s s i g n m e n t to the ebullient prospects of
a new building. The Committee
discusses the budget, and how this
reflects upon the operations of the
library.
Fondren Library faces many
problems which w a r r a n t the attention
of the Committee. The Reserve Room
represents one of these problems which
directly relates to the students. Fondren
expects a severe shortage of shelf space
for the collection. The Committee h a s
d e l v e d i n t o t h e p o s s i b i l i t i e s of
increasing shelf space by expanding
into heretofore unused areas, as well as
utilizing special compact book storage.
C O M M I T T E E ON PUBLIC
LECTURES
(1 undergraduate)
The purpose of the Committee on
Public Lectures is to nominate fifteen
people to Dr. Hackerman for the four
lectures of the President's Lecture
Series, and the Brown Foundation-J.
Newton Rayzor Lectures. The
Committee meets once per year. Dr.
H a c k e r m a n makes the final selection of
the four speakers from the list
submitted by the Committee. Student
input on this committee serves to aid in
determining a bill of speakers and
topics which will correspond to the
present interests of the student body
a n d the Rice community.
COMMITTEE ON RELIGIOUS
ACT I VI T I E S
(1 undergraduate)
T h e p r i m a r y p u r p o s e of t h e
Committee on Religious Activities is to
evaluate the various organized
religious programs found within the
Rice community. It also provides the
formal liason between the University
a n d the clergy a n d other* religious
representatives. One of the most time
consuming functions of the Committee
is the allocation of the use of the
Chapel.
A l t h o u g h s o m e w h a t l i m i t e d by
recent budget restrictions, the
Committee also sponsors lectures by
prominent religious scholars on a wide
range of topics. These include two
m a j o r lecture series during the spring,
the Rockwell Lectures and the
7325 Spencer Highway
Pasadena
479-9185
American Council of Learned Societies'
Lectures.
R.O.T.C. COMMITTEE
(1 undergraduate)
The R.O.T.C. Committee serves to
m a k e recommendations on University
policy regarding all aspects of the
military's activities on campus. It
serves a s a sounding board for the
design of Military Science and Naval
Science courses a n d it deliberates on
proposals concerning the nature and
extent of military affiliation of Rice
students. In addition, the Committee
considers c a n d i d a t e s for faculty and
staff positions as they become
available.
The p r i m a r y goal of the Committee
this year h a s been the complete
accreditation of all R.O.T.C. courses.
The Committee established a n official
inspection committee, investigated a
N a v y - s p o n s o r e d p r e s e n t a t i o n of
nuclear studies, and participated in
various activities, such a s celebration
of the Marines' birthday.
C O M M I T T E E ON F I N A N C I A L AID
(1 undergraduate)
This committee is responsible for
helping set the policy on administra-
tion of financial aid to undergraduates.
The Committee hears special requests
and makes recommendations to the
Director of Financial Aid in unique
situations.
This year the Committee has
undertaken a major revision of the
award formulae, and also set a policy
concerning athletic scholarships, with
r e g a r d to h e a r i n g c a s e s a n d
recommending action on athletes who
become injured for long periods of time,
or leave the program.
On the basis of Committee recom-
mendations, President Hackerman
has recently approved several
revisions of financial aid calculations,
including appropriations to National
Merit Scholars (those with and without
need), a n d replacement of self-help
g r a n t s w i t h Rice T u i t i o n G r a n t s .
Currently the Committee is considering
c h a n g e s in financial aid eligibility of
transfer students.
C O M M I T T E E ON
STUDENT HEALTH
(1 undergraduate)
This committee is responsible for
issues of policy and major changes in
the health service and psychiatric
service offered to students, including
the provision for h e a l t h insurance. The
Committee periodically reviews the
a d e q u a c y of t h e s e r v i c e s or t h e
insurance in relation to the fees paid by
t h e s t u d e n t s a n d c o n s i d e r s all
questions relating to the area of student
health which m a y require special
attention or action. The Committee h a s
the power, with concurrance of the
Director of Student Activities, to take
action on individual cases, and makes
recommendations to both the Director
of Student Activities and the President
regarding policy matters or changes in
the provisions or operation of the
services. The Directors of the Health
a n d Psychiatric Services and the
Directors of S t u d e n t Advising a n d
Student Activities are members of the
Committee.
Recent Committee activities include
a n e x a m i n a t i o n of the s t a t u s of health
service a n d the Baylor College of
Medicine study on Rice University
Mental Health Activities. With regard
to the first area, the Committee h a s
recommended that the University
officially apply for participation in the
University of T e x a s Health Science
Center Student Health Program.
Participation in this program will
greatly improve health services a t Rice,
although the s t u d e n t health fee will
increase. The Baylor study yielded
t h r e e p l a n s f o r r e v i s i o n of t h e
Psychiatric Service, a n d the Committee
h a s recommended adoption of one
similar to the present structure. Final
action on both Committee recommen-
d a t i o n s is pending.

primarily through the processing of the
Teaching Effectiveness Questionnaire,
which is completed by students at the
end of each semester.
During the Fall 1976 semester, the
Committee considered several
proposals for the use of its monies. One
such proposal involved a request for
f u n d s for a college course. The ensuing
discussion determined t h a t college
c o u r s e s a r e d e s e r v i n g of t h e
Committee's support.
The Teaching Effectiveness
Questionnaire will be the Committee's
main concern during the spring
semester. The old form h a s been revised
a n d shortened considerably; it will be
used in May, 1977. The Committee will
be busy the first part of the semester

handwritten e v a l u a t i o n s of c a n d i d a t e s

summarize each candidate's
evaluations. The s u m m a r i e s will be
considered by the University Council in
m a k i n g their recommendations for
promotion.

WHICH INCLUDE UNDERGRA
DUATES
A. The University Council
The University Council meets at the
call of the President, usually about once
each month during the academic year.
The Council generally functions as a
body of the whole. Proposed c h a n g e s of
a s u b s t a n t i a l n a t u r e in the academic
p r o g r a m or r e g u l a t i o n s of t h e
University ( m a n y of which emerge
from the various S t a n d i n g Committees)
are referred to this Council for review
before being presented to the faculty.*
The Council includes two undergra-
d u a t e s in i t s m e m b e r s h i p . T h e s e
students are elected by the Student
Association in its February general
elections.
B. The University Review Board
The University Review Board is the
highest appellate body under the
President in t h e area of student
discipline concerns. Its membership,
including four faculty members, two
u n d e r g r a d u a t e s a n d one g r a d u a t e
s t u d e n t s , is by p r e s i d e n t i a l
appointment. Members serve for one-
year terms, but may succeed
themselves. Upon the decision by the
Review board to h e a r a case, its
r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s are sent directly to
the President.
Students wishing to be considered for
nomination to these positions should
forward their intentions to the Internal
Affairs Vice-President of the Student
Association.

P.S. We though t h a t people like
you go to A&M.
On any given day you will find some BDM people assisting
top level defense planners and policymakers, while others
are getting dusty directing and executing field tests. Still
others will be looking at tomorrow's energy alternatives . . .
designing sophisticated electronic instrumentation . . . and
confronting national needs in areas as diverse as logistics,
counterterrorism, offshore development, and command and
control. Among many others.
The whole range of BDM capabilities that underlie and sup-
port these activities is greater than the simple
sum of their parts. What does this synergism
mean to you? From a career standpoint, it
means that you will have an unparalleled
opportunity to see how national interests
really fit together, how your own contri-
butions impact on the "system," and
how the whole process makes you more
than the sum of your capabilities.
We're looking for highly motivated
ENGINEERS, APPLIED PHYSICISTS, APPLIED MATHEMA-
TICIANS, and COMPUTER SCIENTISTS (Scientific Applica-
tions) to help us establish BDM as the foremost professional
services company in the U.S. by 1985.
Help us meet this goal, and we'll help you meet your career
goals . . . no matter whether they lie in management or ad-
vanced individual achievement. In the process, you will find
as much excitement and challenge as you can handle. And
as much opportunity.
You will work alongside colleagues you re-
spect, in an atmosphere that is the quintes-
sence of professionalism. The pay is good,
and so are the benefits, but the career sat-
isfaction and growth potential are best of
all. Let's discuss you and BDM. Write:
