Two bands, seven broads
Archis expand minds
It's been rumored that a multi-sensual assault of voices, lights, noises, and liquids can produce an involvement/awareness quite similar to certain of the effects of the psychedelic drugs.
Rice students will get a chance after Easter to test this theory, as the architects go all out to create--sans drugs, of course--a "total environment" as this year's edition of the occasionally annual Archi-Arts, "Psychedelia '67."
Two bands have been employed, the "traditional" Mandrakes and an offbeat group which features television sets as instruments and a varied of aural techniques.
In addition, an elaborate light show is planned, to be capped off by an interpretive dance by the seven Archi-Arts honorees. The girls--Bonnie Robinson, Mary Corneil, Mary Burton, Linda Thompson, Mari-Ned Timme, Lili Milani, and Sue Gilbert--will wear costumes designed by the senior and fifth-year architects.
The show goes on Friday, March 31 at 319 McGowen from 9 to 1. The Dean of Women has granted all girls a special 2 am late permission for that night.
The price is $5 per couple and proceeds go to finance the William Watkin Scholarship, a traveling scholarship for senior architects.

Campanile
Rice University yearbook, 1967
"A bright spot in the social scene was the return of Archi-Arts, in all its frenetic consciousness-expanding complexity. To the accompaniment of the flashing strobe and the non-music, the honorees, led by Mary Ned Banana, blended well with the student body, showing off its femininity and artistic talents while releasing all its inner anxieties in an orgy of the unbelievable."
The Houston Chronicle
"There was a Houston Chronicle from April, 1967 article mentioning that the "Red Crayolas" (sic) were playing a fashion show there, but they refer to it as "an old church" and not La Maison"[1]
