Dr. W. V. Houston, President of the Rice Institute, and Dr. W. H.

Morsund, Dean of Baylor University School of Medicine, announce the

inauguration on January 3, 1949, of a special course in the Medical and

Biological Applications of Radio-Active Isotopes to be conducted jointly

by Baylor Medical School and Rice Institute. The course will cover a

six-month period, operating five

and a half days a week.Galveston AlumniLists '49 Officers

The course is part of the program

inaugurated by the Atomic Energy

The Galveston County Rice Alum-

ni Club has announced its officers

for 1949. Elected as president of the

newly formed club, is Norman A.

Koneman. Katherine W akf ield

Fowler wil serve as vice-president,

Dennis Voulgaris as secretary, and

Frank Bunker as treasurer.

The three board directors are: Sam

J. Williams, Jr., who will Serve for

three years; Henry Wilkins, Jr., who

will serve for two years; and E. W.

Hanzen, whose term of office will

be for one year.

The Galveston County club had

three meetings during the last two

months in 1948, adopted a constitu-

tion, and made plans for the pro-

gram to follow in 1949. There are

many alumni living in and around

Galveston, and all who are interest-

ed in the club are urged to contact

Mr. Koneman.At the final meeting in 1948,

Cecil Grigg, Rice coach, attended

the meeting and showed the Rice-

Arkansas footbal pictures and gave

a resume of the past season along

with coming prospects for 1949.

Commission for the study of peace-

time uses of atomic energy, partic-

ularly in its application to the fields

of biology and medicine. The Texas

Center, composed of Baylor and

Rice, along with three other such

centers throughout the United

States, had previously been selected

by the A. E. C. for special empha-

sis in the program.

This special course has been es-

tablished primarily for the training

of Postdoctoral Fellows appointed

by the National Research Council

ho are being sent to the Rice-Bay-

lor center by the Atomic Energy

Commission. Besides these Fellows,

the officials of Baylor and Rice

have decided to open this course to

three or four additional men, who

by their training and scientific in-

terests might qualify for admit-

tance. Applications must be approv-

ed by the Baylor- Rice Joint Isotope

Committee. Inquiries concerning the

course should be addressed either to

Professor Joseph H. Gast, Baylor

Medical School, or to Professor R. V.

Talmage, the Rice Institute.

Association Takes LeadIn Establishing ServiceFor Institute Alumni

"The most common expression among representatives fromcompanies desiring to hire Rice graduates has been one ofsurprise to find that we did not have a placement service atRice."

This is what J. D. Thomas, assistant professor of English and assistant registrar, has to

Of "R" AssociationThe annual "R" Association foot-

ball banquet was held December 9with over 400 attending the affair.

Gerald Weatherly, 205 pound cen-ter of the Owls, received the GeorgeMartin award. This award is givenannually to the team's most valu-able player as voted on by thesquad.

Dr. William V. Houston, Ricepresident, was presented the footballused in the Baylor game of 1934,the game which gave Rice its firstconference championship. The ballwas presented by Percy Arthur,captain of the 1934 Owls.

Want More

Dr. Houston expressed apprecia-tion by saying, "I also hope thisis not the last football I will re-ceive from a championship Riceteam. We want more of them." Theball is to be placed in the trophycase.

Dr. Houston, speaking before thegathering at the Houston Club, out-lined the needs of Rice for variousbuildings, including dormitories. Hetold of the need of a gymnasiumand field house and said that thetrustees realized the present sta-dium was far from large enough."We hope this is a problem whosesolution is not too far away," hesaid.

Coach Neely lauded the spirit ofthe Owls. "Although the results ofsome of the games were disappoint-ing, and we had many injuries atthe start, we have never had agroup who gave more or workedharder."

Lettermen Introduced

Coach Cecil Grigg introduced thebackfield men, Coach Davis the line-.men, Coach Bale the ends and CoachCharley Moore the freshmen.

Dr. H. E. Bray, chairman of thefaculty committee on outdoor sports,announced letters to 25 players andtwo managers. They were: John An-derson, Emmanuel Braden, VernonGlass, George Glauser, Huey Kee-ney, John Kelly, Bobby Lantrip,Nick Lanza, Derwood Lee, Jack Mc-Bride, Ralph Murphy, Ed Parker,Tom Parsons, Jack Price, HaroldRiley, S.

Henry Beissner, Jr., president of

the "R" Association presided.

he added, "I've never really been aplacement officer. But that is whatthese people had to say."

Mr. Thomas said that all types oforganizations seek to hire Ricegraduates—oil companies, banks,brokerage houses, engineering com-panies, mercantile establishments.No Central Office

There has been no office on thecampus to handle these requests.Each job solicitation has beenreferred to the different academicdepartments. Yearly the engineer-ing department has been besiegedby job requests, and usually therehave been more requests than grad-uates.

The alumni placement service willserve as a common point for thevarious departments of the Insti-tute in handling these employmentrequests. It will assist applicantsseeking employment in contactingthose firms where there are oppor-tunities for employment.The service, which went into ef-

fect January 1, 1949, is the out-growth of an idea suggested by Dr.W. V. Houston to the alumni asso-ciation when asked how the alumnicould be of more service to Rice.All Alumni EligibleAny alumnus or student, whether

or not he holds a degree from Rice,is eligible for the benefits of the

placement service. Alumni or stu-dents may obtain an applicationblank by personal request, by let-ter or by telephone from the alum-ni office, room 205, in Lovett Hallon the campus.When an application is received

it will be referred for confidentialevaluation to the academic depart-ment in which the alumnus or stu-dent took his training. Then thepertinent organizations desiring em-ployment will be contacted. If de-

sired, the placement service will ar-

range interviews.Alumni recommended for a posi-

tion will be notified of the details

of the job. SO that records may be

kept current, alumni so recommend-

ed are requested to inform the

placement office of the decision

reached..Permanent PositionWhen a permanent position (three

months or over) is obtained through

the alumni placement service, a

contribution of ten percent of the

first month's salary will be custo-

mary. This contribution will aid in

defraying the expenses of the place-

ment office. Contributions, however,

are not expected from candidates

1949 Operational Fund DriveNeeds Alumni Support andBacking To Reach $15,000 Goal

The Association of Rice Alumni's 1949 Fund Drive forOperations has been in progress for one month now, and $3,-643.50 has been contributed from 500 alumni. This figure mustbe raised if we are to collect the $15,000.00 set as our goal for1949. The only way this drive can be a success is for the

!alumni to back the drive and

send their contributions to the

alumni office.

The figures and charts on thispage show that there is an increasein the number and percentage ofalumni contributing yearly, but thenumbers and percentages are stillnot nearly high enough to give usan active alumni association such aswe should have. The Rice Instituteis rapidly progressing each year,and in order for us to keep pace wehave to back the association 100%to keep it moving forward also.

Lost Addresses Found

In 1948, the alumni office hiredtwo office helpers to locate andtrace our alumni who were in the"lost address" file. Approximately2,000 names have been added to themailing list, and we are now in con-tact with close to 8,000 alumni. Itwas also felt that Sallyport shouldbe published monthly in order forthe alumni to get a better pictureof events in time of happenings andthat the paper would be more cur-rent with news if published month-ly. Both of these items were anadded expense to the alumni office,but it was felt they were necessaryexpenses and should be carried out.

Dr. William V. Houston, presidentof the Rice Institute, when askedby Alumni President John Schuh-macher, "What can the Alumni dofor Rice Institute?" suggested thatit would be an outstanding aid toRice if we would open a CentralPlacement Office and carry theplacement work of seniors, studentsand alumni.

Never Before

The Association's ExecutiveBoard met with this sugges-tion and agreed upon it 100per cent, because we were beinggiven the opportunity to do the

type of service to Rice that we have

never been called upon to do be-fore, and it is the type of work

that will render outstanding service

to Rice now, and in the future. Thisplacement service is another of theadded expenses to the 1949 budget,

but it is surely for a worthy causeand one for which we should be

proud.

The Association of Rice Alumniis your association, and the , Execu-tive Board strives at all times torun and operate the alumni officeas you would like for it to be run.The Executive Board meets monthly.At these meetings all phases ofalumni work and organization aegone over and fully discussed in anattempt to make our association ac-tive and of service, both to the RiceInstitute and to the alumni.

As a "Donor

With the revision of the Consti-tution voted on at the annual busi-ness meeting of November 18, there

is no longer any set amount for duespayments such as the $3.00 of pastyears and each alumni is asked tocontribute the amount he feels that

he can. Contributions, regardless of

the amount, makes the alumnus

active for the current year and

known as a "donor."

We hope to hear from you soon.

Mail your checks to the Association.

of Rice Alumni, Post Office Box1892, Houston 1, Texas. Your active'support is needed for the succesaof the drive.

Mr. Castellanoshad just flown in from New York,and was deligted to renew acquaint-ances with his,classmates and teach-ers of '29.

They sailed on theQueen Mary for England then trav-eled leisurely through France, Hol-land, Belgium, Switzerland, Italyand Spain. Mr. Castellanos says ifhe had ever doubted that his ances-tors were Spanish, that doubt wasforever removed, for he found theCastellanos one of the most promi-nent in Spain. All the Europeancountries were intensely interesting,but it was the Isle of Capri, with its

georgeous scenery, that held themost charm for the Castellanos.They came by plane from Portugal

to the United States. Mr. Castel-

whose college schedules are irregu-

lar in regard to other colleges in

the University. But on to the letter

—"I don't know when I've enjoyed

Sallyport as much as I did this

time. Maybe because it had more

news about people I know, maybe

because we are tired of the North.

We are both ready to come home.

We had planned to come home for

this summer. Johnny graduated in

June and decided to take a little

extra work during the summer, then

go home in August. We gave up our

apartment—they're still scarce as

hen's teeth here—and my job and

then one of Johnny's professors

came to him with a very good of-

fer, and we decided we couldn't af-

ford to turn it down. He is doing

work in statistics and putting out

the "Illinois Business Review" in

the Bureau of Business and Econo-

mic Research. At the same time he

is working on his Master's. Regard-

less, we are leaving this place next

summer. I'm sending my change of

address notice. It looks like we don't

pay our rent, we move so much! We

were very fortunate in finding A

lovely apartment, and I am still

working for the same boss—and en-

joying it! Tell everyone hello for

me. Maybe my next Homecoming

we'll be hack home." Betsy, in case
