Dedicate . . . to inscribe by way of honor or compliment. Yes, that is the dictionary definition of Dedicate, i but our dedication of this Houstonian to ilCliieF, Mitchell covers much more than just that. It is a warmer, more personal thing than a dictionary meaning can possibly express. And it comes from the bottom of our hearts. To us, the itChiefil is a good friend-someone we can turn to and know that whatever decision or help he may give us will be fair and square. To us he really is 0Chiefilein name and deed! If anyone at the University knows the inside story of the schools growing up, its iiChiefy When he came here in 1933, the University was still a Junior College located at San Jacinto High School. He has watched it grow from a faculty of 14- to one of more than 600 and a student body of less than 500 to one of 14,000. And all through the years, anything the student has been interested in, iiChieP, has been interested in, too. This warm philosophy is emphatically illustrated by the many groups and organizations the itChieP, deals with directly. He helped organize the University,s first Fine Arts Department, and up until 1950, he taught drama. At that time he became Assistant Dean of Men and began teachin English courses. ' F rontier Fiesta was started and then given a re- birth after World War II by this able organizer. He actively supports Varsity Varieties, Student Publications, the Pep Club, and he is the sponsor of the Inter-Fraternal Council. Mr. Mitchell also belongs to all regional and national Associations of Deans of Men, and to all Southern Associations. . Busy? Extremely, but hes never too busy to help his students in any way possible. And so with hats off and beans humble with gratitude, we of the Houstonian staff dedicate our 1956 Houstonian to you, iiChief Mitchell. L.

BRUCE The publication of this volume of the Houstonian marks the end of my second year as a pan of this institution. It has been a full year, and, it is believed, a good one. We have made progress in a number of directions. Today we are executing plans made yesterday, or a year ago, or ten years ago. What we accomplish tomorrow, and in the tomorrows to come, will depend on how well we plan today. We respect the past of this institution, and honor those responsible for its building and plans. We must remember, however, that the shape of further progress will be determined by the courage and initiative we bring to our thinking today. This is as true for the individual as it is for the institution. The progress of this University will be whatever progress you, as a member of its student body, will be able to make as a human being.

Not that the local groups were insignificant . . . they werenit . . . for they were the building blocks from which each national erected the new chapters of those age old groups. It was a long dusty road from the clubless campus of 1938 to the campus of 1956 . . . yes, long, but intensely colorful . . . then the dream came true . . . and everybody went back to work to prove that it was worth it.

Founded and edited by Jules Vern, professor of F rench at the University, the journal is com- posed of literary criticisms, prose, and poetry, written in French by French speaking people, many of them famous authors, in all parts of the world. LeBayou, which has agents in many foreign countries, publishes e... only literary works which have not been published previously else- where. LeBayou consists of four is- sues a year, and the spring issue of 1956 marks the twentieth anni- versary of this journal that is pub- lished wholly by the University,s own printing shop. .--..-e--- - ....-,-..,..- nu- egke m..- max.

Eight standout college golf teams were invited to the first Southwestern Intercollegiate Tournament held at Pine Forest Country Club. Included were Houstun. Texas, North Texas, Rice, Texas ASIM, Oklahoma ASZM. Oklahoma, and SMU, the defend- ing national t'ollogiate champion. The tourney was described as a new one in which everyune could win. However, the tourney that Cou- gar Coach Williams invented backfired; at least in purpme. as Houston won the team trophy in both match and medal play, the two-hall trophy, the best- Imll trophy, and the individual medal trophy. The only other school to win a title was North Texas. The Eagles won the four-hall trophy.

But changes have made the second bit a faster cutting, bcttcr-pcrforming, more versatile bit...capablc of drilling a wider range of formations. Hughes bits are undergoing constant improvement based on continuing rc- scarch and the world's greatest rock bit cxpcricncc-ovcr one billion feet of hole drilled in the past 47 years.
