Why do more college
men and women smoke
Viceroys
than any other
filter cigarette?
Because only Viceroy
gives you 20,000 filter traps
in every filter tip, made
from a pure natural substance
— cellulose—found in delicious
fruits and other edibles!
Yes, only Viceroy has this filler composed of 20,000 tiny
filter traps. You cannot obtain the same filtering action
in any oilier cigarette..

The Viceroy filler wasn't just whipped up and rushed to
market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for fil-
tered cigarettes. Viceroy pioneered. Started research mure
than 20 y ears ago to create the pure, and perfect filter.
Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have a
finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters.' Rich,
satisfying, yet pleasantly mild.
Viceroy draws.so easily that you wouldn't know, without
looking, that it even had a filler tip . . . and Viceroys cost
only a penny or two more than cigarettes without filters!
That's why more college men and women smoke VICEROYS than
any other filter cigarette . . . that's why VICEROY is the largest-
selling filter cigarette in the world!

plus that Real Tobacco Taste
been bust with the same "cru-
sades" and where now the Road-
block, Union plans, and other
topics grace our columns, only
a few years ago we shouted high
anT" loud about the "Rice Re-
naissance." We even went so
far as to accuse the lits of not
being literary, and ran a box
score on the literary meetings
held.
Well, like the rest of the world,
we change with time, and now
we're perfectly happy with our
un-literary societies, but we
can't help but smile at the fact
that last Tuesday the SLLS held
a literary meeting. Jim Young
did the honors at this meeting
which is planned to be a month-
ly series. Could the Rice Renais-
sance again be raising its head ?
We noticed that Co-op sold a
magazine last week.

Racial Business
I'm not quite sure when or
why we went into the l-acial pre-
judice business, but like it or
not, we're now firmly established
in that trade, and our office is
constantly being bombarded with
propaganda on the subject. Most
of it is simply worth a smile,
but there are a few choice items
which are worth some thought.
The Charleston, S.C., News and
Courier carried a letter written
by a Negro minister which at-
tacked the NAACP and ende<k by
stating, "My colored brothers
and sisters pray to God to give
you wisdom to teach your chil-,
dren to teach their children never
to let strangers come into South
Carolina and mess things up for
our race . . . God's blessings be
on you and your seed."
Another bit of news from
South Carolina is that the legis-
lature there plans to set up in-
tegrated . schools as well as seg-
regated schools, but only to ap-
propriate funds for the "separate
but equal" facilities. Proof that
it will be much harder to enforce
the new laws than to pass them.'
Mississippi
Mississippi has made plans to
sell its public parks and Geor-
gia has even threatened to sell
them. Finally, we can't help but
mention the committee which
has recently been formed in
Houston to prevent segregation
in the schools and that the Tex-
as Observer, a paper often in-

Society
By BARBARA VEYON and ALICE CO IVAN
Well, here we are again, after a brief reprieve from responsibili'
ties (hah!), to grapple with, or rather try to manipulate (since this
is a society column) life. We hope thai everyone has recuperated over
the holiday week-end (or from it).
RINGS N' THINGS: As usual, the holidays took their toll of free
souls. Those married were Martha Musgrove and Harry Shirley, Bar-
bara Watson and Marty Hoza. The engaged are Sally Rogers and
jerry Cullion; JoAnn Collet and Jimmy McMahon; Kathy Davis
and Fred Demuche. Felicitations to all. Sigh.
CONGRATULATIONS: Joan and Jane Ryba, who are Ameri-
can Magazine's coeds of the month.
VACATION VARIETIES: At the Troubador Friday night, along
with some AIR FORCE MEN (We are c h e c k i n g to determine
whether this is a GOOD THING). Were Fran Bailey, Lou Ann
Rice, Dale Miller, Barbara Farren and Bruce Montgomery . . . Sat-
urday night the Pop Concert brought out culture enthusiasts Edwin
Kashy, Sandra Cordon, Fred Sl(lar and Erwin Groner . . .SEEN
playing charades at a party given by Mr. & Mrs. Drew, J acq Collins,
Bob Hanes <x wife, and Phil Martin . . .
The football team officially bro/(e training Sunday night at Men-
del Laviage's lavish birthday party. Contributing to the general hys-
terics and unusual gift Were Ruth Barnes, Charlie Thompson, oratoi
Eddie Rayburn, Page Rogers, Kenny Williams, and Mary Beth
Har lis'. . . Luther Hill's ranch near Blanco was the scene of a spirited
deer hunt over the holidays. The group, which later adjourned to hunt
dear, included Bob Mucl(elroy, Charlie Jennings, Ross Dawson. Ray
Jageman (the only one who got a deer), John Chilton, Less Ballard
<♦

Linda Davis, Margaret Ford, Peggy O'Neal, Janice Cousins, Mary
Lou Hertenberger, Harriet Kinzbacl? and Doris BoWen, who received
a trophy (one small owl) from her loyal team.
RICE IN BERMUDA SHORTS: OLAN HAN KINS. To prove
it's true that "you have to be an academ or flunk out to get your name
in the Society Column" . .. If you need a rug cleaned, ask frosh Wel-
don Cabaniss how he took care of Dennis Landis' rug.
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT: The. downfall of Rex
"Let's-get-a-beer" Martin . . . Why Walker Jordan was reclining one
night under the limbs of a Shamrock palm . . . "Pedro" Head's bor-
der-smug glin g activities

cans and you will receive our post-Thanksgiving diet guide.
