THE BICE TBRBSKBS
Time is fleeting, and still no Inspir-
ational beginning for our offering, so
what. Anyway, our ungrateful cli-
entele ought to be able to start persu-
ing once without an adequate intro-
duction to the facts of "life on the
campus".

Cam el Begins
New Series of
Advertising
The mildness of Camels is the theme
of the new cigarette advertising cam-
paign of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, which features the an-
nouncement that Camels are "so mild
you can smoke all you want." It is
supported by statements from a rep-
resentative group of athletic stars and
champions in various strenuous sports
who smoke Camels and have found
that "they don't get your wind."
This new campaign of advertising is
now appearing regularly in the
Thresher. It is expected that Camel's
consistent policy of newspaper adver-
tising will,.be continued.
In the first advertisement Gerfe Sar-
azen, famous golf champion, pictured
both smoking a Camel and in action,
is quoted: "Travelling and playing as
much as I do, I have to keep in. con
dition. I smoke Camels steadily. They
are so mild they never get my 'wind'
or nerves."
Other athletes who comment on the
mildness of Camels in statements ac-
companied by "action" photographs
are Georgia Coleman, holder of 13 na-
tional and Olympic diving champion-
ships; Melvin Ott, batting star of the
New York Giants baseball team; John
L. Skillman, squash racquets cham-
pion; Bill Miller, four times national
sculling champion, and Jim Lancaster,
captain of an undefeated New York
University basketball team. It is
pointed out that a cigarette whose
mildness has won the patronage of out-
standing athletes—who have to know
what real tobacco mildness is—natur-
ally has a mildness which will appeal
to the non-athletic smoker as well.
The quality of the tobaccos used in
the manufacture of Camels is consist-
ently stressed. Each advertisement
gives prominent display to the state-
ment. signed by R. J. Reynolds To-
bacco Company, that "Camels are made
from finer, more expensive tobaccos-
Turkish and Domestic—than any other
popular brand."

the toughest bask row in school. It

We intended not to criticize the ig-
noble efforts of our substitute in writ-
ing this stuff while We took a small
vacation (without pay), but since we
have come back on the job (also with-
out pay—editor please note), we can't
resist declaming what a mess they
made of things. We don't know who
they are, and don't care to, but we will
say they certainly have a distorted
sense of reasoning when they make
Wise cracks at MARGARET DAVIS.
This is nothing personal, of course,
(sighs of relief from JOE MUCH), but
we must contradict what was said in
the Engineers Edition of this rag, be-
cause she's still the top.
At New Orleans BILL LORIMER
learned another lesson In the school
of experience. It seems that he was
out looking for something new in the
food line, and so he ordered a dish
by name only. Now what do you
think it turned out to be, in plain old
vanilla English? We hesitate to say,
but according to LORIMER, quote:
"The French had a name for them".
Unquote.
The REVEREND TYNES wishes us
to announce that the regular bi-week-
ly prayer-meetings will be continued
through the summer months, due to
the revival of interest of late. He
says much credit is due to BROTHER
APEMOUNTAIN BRANDON procur-
ing new hymnals for the flock. EL-
DER SLIM JAMES WALLER requests
the congregation to stand squarely be-
hind him in the NEAR EAST (HALL)
RELIEF program.
The crestfallen individual that you
see wandering around the campus, and
whose name we refrain from men-
tioning, is JAKIE (JAKIE) WOOD-
SON. It seems that he and a here-
mite were parked out on Main Street
a few days ago, watching the cattle
run, when who should pass by but
the light, of his life. He had been try-
ing to make such an impression on
LUCIE, and then she had to pass by
at such an inopportune moment, and
see him with MRS. E. SLOAN ROY-
ALL.
Now ain't this too bad. We've run
out of stuff. But all will be well be-
fore you poor students read it, be-
cause LONG JOHN COSTLEY will
have proof-read it, and stuck his finger
in the pie, adding a witticism here
and there. Power at you, SHORT
JOHN.

Phil Peden, candidate for Assistant-
editor of The Owl, expresses his grati-
tude for the support of his friends in
last Monday's election. He houes that
they will see fit to continue their ef-
forts hi his behalf at the polls Monday.

by William Marsh Rice (remember the
bronze gentleman who looks down with
understanding upon our frolics in the
Sally Port?), in freedom for research
to sober, fearless pursuit of truth, (or
peeping on exams), beauty (the Fresh-
men girls), righteousness (ahem!), and
to all high emprise consecrated (the
highest emprise we ever got was a 4 in
German, which was not an emprise
but a surprise), would have all men

sibly the Credit Men's Black Mat), a
student of the university (you're tell-r
ing me!), the degree of 105, (which is
a high temperature, and you may feel
that you're plenty hot, that the
world is your oyster, and all that
other stuff they tell us we feel, altho
actually we feel rather mall and
timid about re whole thing) with all
the rights, duties (more?), and priv-
iliges appurtaining to that degree!
Closer examination reveals the as-
tounding fact that the degree was
given in Houston, Texas, on June 3,
in the year A. D. MDCCCCXXXV,
which you suppose to be 1935 since
you know definitely that V means
five, and this is 1935, and you never
could read Roman numerals over fifty
anyway.
Then,too, you see the Presidents sig-
nature, previously seen only in the
Annual, or in an autograph book.
There, my friends, is what you have
paid five dollars or dolours, and fifty
cents ($5.50) for, and now how do
you feel? That's what I thought.
Despite a gay attempt to be carefree
and nonchalant about the whole thing,
there's already a twinge of regret at
leaving. One looks over the ivy-cov-
ered gale as he enters, and wonders
where he will be this time next year.
One gazes at hurrying groups of
idiotically cheerful freshmen and al-
most shyly wonders why they are so
happy^ The Juniors, already impor-
