Does anyone have a list of the previous Jones College Masters including: who they were, if they had an administrative or academic position, their term(s) as Master?

3/1/2006: Although the anti-college cheers against, Brown, Sid, Baker, Hanszen and Lovett are legitimate Jones cheers, they are not bona fide beer bike cheers in that they do not have hand signals, so I deleted them.

If someone wants to put them back in, they should be appropriately categorized and contextualized with archiac (or defunct) cheers like "Rock on... Jones" and "Jones Farmer Jones"

For consitency, however, I did add the "Jaberwocky" cheer.

4/1/2006: Jones Men have won the mens race more times than any other college since there have been University-sanctioned Jones men. There should be some way to represent this that is sufficiently NPOV for Wikipedia.

5/26/2006: Jonesians knew Kalyan as Sammy.

Historical Parties

Although Bakerfeast is in Baker, this is one of the oldest Rice parties, for decades was a major campus event, and is strictly a Jones-Baker deal.

Jones has also had several major parties that were phased out after the drinking age was changed.

Jones used to have a huge outdoor Tiki-torch party called "Where the Wild Things Are" until they built Martel on the site of the party.
