Eta Kappa Nu
Initiates Seven
Tech Enigneers

ar Tech were initiated into

gineers, last week at the
University of Texas. They
were: David Bourgeios,
William Busby, Frank Car-
den John Carl sen, Rufus
Chovez, Seth Coleman, Jr.,
and Charles E. Scott.
To be eligible the student
must have at least a 2.0
grade point average and be
in the upper third of the
senior class. The Lamar

igible for national affiliation
when it graduates twenty-
five electrical engineering
students consistently. At
present there are twenty-
three graduates. An elec-
trical engineering depart-
ment must be accredited
before a Eta Kappa Nu chap-
ter may be chartered.
Mr. Lloyd Cherry, Eta
Kappa Nu member who was
initiated at Oklahoma State,

sponsors of the group. '

maintenance, and in some
cases, incidental expenses
are provided by the host

CREAM-OIL Charlie!
Helen of Troy, N.Y. says: "There’s no
greece, just natural good grooming!”
Just a little bir

and... WOW!V
You can reproduce the experiment.
It’s easy as 7T. (Yes, you can do it
in the bathtub.) Assuming that you
have first visited your friendly tobac-
conist, simply light your first Winston
and smoke it. Reasoning backwards,
the discovery proceeds as follows:
first, you will notice a delightful
flavor, in the class of fresh coffee or
of bread baking. Obviously, such
flavor cannot come from the filter.
Therefore, it’s what’s up front that
counts: Winston’s Filter-Blend. The
tobaccos are selected for flavor and
mildness, then specially processed for
filter smoking. This extra step is the
real difference between Winston and
all other filter cigarettes. Besides,
it’s why Winston is America’s best-
selling filter cigarette.
“Eureka! Winston tastes good ...
like a cigarette should I ”
