CHAPTER 10


THE FACULTY meeting Of the
Rice Institute was called to order
at p. m.
First item of business:
"Mr. Sam Konomos requests per-
mission to speak to the faculty.
SIR
President Edgar Odell Lovett of
the Rice Institute looked at his
secretary.
"Konomos 2"
Eyes, DR.. Lovett. He il proprie-
tor, I believe, of the Houstex Inn,
located across Rice boulevard from
the campus"
''Um. Well, it is in no way con-
nected with the university, but con-
ceivably Mr.. Konomos has legiti-
mate business here. Ask him to
come in, please"
Mr.. Konomos would have been
completely in atmosphere inside a
prize fight ring. Indeed, he had
once been a prize fighter. He
weighed 2O5 pounds, and he was
hairy, and his skin was dark, and
his nose was flat, which caused
him to wheeze trifie. He smelled
a little Of alcohol and cheese.
On the other hand, the faculty
chamber in the Rice administration
building is one of the most beau
tiful rooms in Texas.
"It is an honor to welcome you,
Mr.. Konomos," said DR.. Lovett,
who is about the most gracious
gentleman imaginable. ''Will you
have this seat, sir?" He indicated
a chair, and Sam slid into it,
wheeling, glancing right and left.
IT amt got too much time," Sam
began.
"Quite so, sir. We shall endeav-
or to move swiftly. Proceed"
tits about this widow, this
Davis. She's ruin my business"
Nobody said anything to that.
"She's take all the trade" Sam
went on. He turned to glare at the
professors, instructors and assist
ants. "She come here with soft
soap. She put up the fresh sign.
She make love with everybody,
ha! She is ruin my business, this
romance housed" Sans muscles
bulged noticeably and he got UP
excitedly. IT have been in bust
ness three year. Is not fair she cut
I'M"
There was much more talk, with
some questions from the faculty.
Nobody voiced an opinion, how
ever, until Mr.. Kon0mos departed.
$50 far as I am concerned" one
faculty member spoke out then, IT
cannot see that it is any affair of
ours. But personally can testify
that the Houstex Inn is anything
but savory in reputation. I hope
she puts him out of business!"
Applause, and smiles, closed the
discussion.
