THE REDBIRD
November 9, 1962
EAT, SLEEP, AND MATRICULATE
The trouble with early morning classes is that you’re too sleepy.
At late morning classes you’re too hungry. At early afternoon
classes you’re too logy. At late afternoon classes you’re too
hungry again. The fact is—and we might as well face it—there
is no good time of day to take a class.
What shall we do then? Abandon our colleges to the ivy? I
say no! I say America did not become the hope of mankind and
the world’s largest producer of butterfats and tallow by running
away from a fight!
If you’re always too hungry or too sleepy for class, then let’s
hold classes when you’re not too hungry or sleepy: namely, when
you’re eating or sleeping.
Classes while eating are a simple matter. Just have a lecturer
lecture while the eaters eat. But watch out for noisy food. I
mean who can hear a lecturer lecture when everybody is crunch-
ing celery or matzo or like that? Serve quiet stuff—like anchovy
paste on a doughnut, or steaming bowls of lamb fat.
And kindly observe silence while lighting your post-prandial
Marlboro Cigarette. Don’t be striking kitchen matches on your
jeans. Instead carry an ember from the dormitory fireplace in
your purse or pocket. Place the Marlboro against the ember,
bight it quietly. Smoke it quietly. Oh, I know I ask a great
deal! I know that one’s natural instinct upon encountering
Marlboro’s fine flavor and filter is to throw back one’s head and
bellow great, rousing cries of joy. But you must not. You must
contain,your ecstacy, lfst you disturb the lecturing lecturer.
You can, if you like, permit yourself a few small shudders of
pleasure as you smoke, but take care not to wear garments
which will set up a clatter when you shudder—like taffeta, for
example, or knee cymbals.
Tet us turn now to the problem of learning while sleeping.
First, can it be done?
Yes, it can. Psychologists have proved that the brain is
definitely able to assimilate information during sleep. Take, for
instance, a recent experiment conducted by a leading Eastern
university (Stanford). A small tape recorder was placed under
the pillow of the subject, a freshman named,Glebe Sigafoos.
When Glebe was fast asleep, the recorder was turned on. Softly,
all through the night, it repeated three statements in Glebe’s
slumbering ear:
1. Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109 and is called “The
Founder of English Eclectic Philosophy.”
2. The banana plant is not a tree but a large perennial herb-
3. The Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 at
Sarajevo by a young nationalist named Mjilas Cvetnic, who has
been called “The Trigger of World War I.”
When Glebe awoke in the morning, the psychologists said to
him, “Herbert Spencer lived to the age of 109. What is he
called?”
Glebe promptly replied, “Perennial Herb.”
Next they asked him, “What has Mjilas Cvetnic been called?”
Replied Glebe, “Perennial Serb.”
Finally they said, “Is the banana plant a tree?”
But Glebe, exhausted from the long interrogation, had fallen
back asleep, where he is to this day. @i962 M»xshuim»D

Glebe sleeps, but you, voe trust, are up and about. Why not
improve each waking hour with our fine product—Marlboro
Cigarettes? You get a lot to like—filter, flavor, pack or box.

EDITORIAL
The victory line at the
Lamar Tech A&I game was
very impressive. It
showed a lot of spirit and
enthusiasm. We hope that
this same spirit and
interest will be carried
over into the activities of
the coming Homecoming
Week. The Homecoming
Committee has done an
admirable job in inaugurat-
ing the various events.
Dr. M c D onald has given
us a welcomed holiday.
Surely, this is enough in
itself to warrant enthu-
siasm.
This year, Homecoming
has all the possibilities of
being a bigger success
than ever. There will be
a p r e sentation dance and
bonfire as we 11 as the
traditional down town
parade. The identity of the
queen will remain a closely
guarded secret until die
is crowned during halftime
ceremonies. All in all,
this year's Homecoming
pro mises to be an excep-
tional one. Take an active
part in all of the activities,
and remember, don'tforget
to buy a mum.
