FROSH TRADITION
Shoe Scramble Set
For Tomorrow
By NEAL O'BRIEN
At three o'clock tomorrow, Neal Cotten will lead the band
onto the football field; each member will be garbed with an
extra pair of shoes which he won't be wearing (it might hurt
his musical style), but which will be dangling somewhere on
his person.
When they parade onto the field,
well fortified with footwear, and
playing some sort of shoe song, they
will form a huge shoe, the end of
which will be tapping. They will
deposit their extra pair of shoes
while in this formation, and then
leave the field.
Over The Walls
Then, over the walls will charge
the sophomore cobblers with boxes
and boxes full of more sandals, boots,
and shoes of all size, shape, color,
and description. .They will make a
huge pile of them in the middle of
the field, being sure to mix this
shoe stew well.
From the ends of the field the
freshmen, who have been waiting in
bare feet, will dash forward, and a
mad scramble will ensue as each
: lime tries to uncover his lowly

They either find them and leave,
oi' don't find them and leave. The
remnants (of shoes and slimes) will
be cleared away by some volunteer
l'rcshman. Small ones, of course.
New Twist Possible
This is where the procedure is
supposed to end, but freshmen have
hinted that there might be a little
change to the old game this year.
A freshman from West Hall was
talking to Kneel Ball:
"Will you put on a good show"
asked Ball.
"Yeah. We'll give you a good
show," replied the secretive Slime.
"How many sophs will be there?"
he quizzed as he murmured some-
thing about a big brawl.
Football, Too
Before and after the big shoe
scramble Coach Neely has mention-
ed something of a football game be-
tween Pittsburgh and the Owls.
Dr. F. C. Laubach
To Speak At Forum
Dr. Frank C. Laubach, world-re-
nowned missionary and educator, be-
lieves that we can meet the threat
of a devastating atomic war peace-
fully and effectively.

the Forum Committee and the Reli-
gious Council, Dr. Laubach will speak
to Rice students, faculty and the
public in the Fondren Library Lec-
ture Lounge Wednesday at 8:00 PM.
His theme is the title of his latest
book, "Wake Up or Blow Up."

and educator in the Philippines in
1915, and has since visited more

lects.

.ou have to get up early in the morning to
put one over on this cock-of-the-walk! When it
came to making "quick-trick" experiments of
cigarette mildness, he stated flatly, "That's strictly
for clucks"! How 'ya going to keep 'em down
on the farm—when they know there's one
convincing way to prove cigarette mildness!

It's the sensible test . . . the 30-day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try
Camels as a steady smoke—on a day after day
basis. No snap judgments. Once you've enjoyed
Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for
Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why ...
After all the Mildness Tests ...
