A telegram was received Friday night addressed to
the editor of The Battalion which commended those connec
ted with last Thursday’s Student Senate-College Station
Lions Club Blood Drive.
The telegram reads:
“John H. Johnson, Editor
The Battalion,
A&M College
College Station, Texas
Thanks to the fine support of you, The Battalion and
A&M student body, and the wonderful work of Professor
Dave Fitch and the College Station Lions Club, the A&M
Blood Drive for our children’s blood pool was a real suc
cess. The Aggies may be sure that their blood will be given
without charge to children who badly need it or to research
which we hope will help them in some lasting way. We
deeply appreciate your help and interest.
• Dr. Ellen Loeb, M.D., Chairman
Children’s Research Blood Pool
Wadley Research Center
Dallas”
The telegram not only commends the men of Aggie-
land and members of the College Station Lions Club but
also clears up a misconception in some people’s minds—the
blood will not be sold.
This telegram was the second commendation students
of Texas A&M have received this year. The other com
mendation was a letter of appreciation for the help the
men of Aggieland gave in loading foamite used in fighting
the Houston Ship Channel fire last fall.
Such commendations as these add to the already fa
mous reputation of Texas A&M students, both past and
present, for meeting their civic responsibilities.

A Few Lines...
Tom Puddy, 18-year staff member of Texas A&M and
manager of Guion Hall, is reported steadily improving at the
Will Rogers Memorial Hospital in Saranac Lake, N. Y.
However, Puddy still faces several more months of hos
pitalization before he will be completely recovered. His phy
sicians report that Puddy will not have to undergo surgery
as they first thought.
A familiar figure on the campus, Puddy has done much
jn his long years of service to Texas A&M; to enlighten the
everyday life of the Men of Aggieland—through both his
operation of Guion Hall and his personal contact with stu
dents and faculty and staff members.
Now, Puddy could use some encouragement and corres
pondence with people connected with Texas A&M—both his
old friends and possible new ones. It would mean a lot in
keeping up the moral of Puddy and would not take much time
to drop him a line and let him know what’s going on here and
that we miss him.
For those interested in writing Puddy' his address is
Room 261, Will Rogers Memorial Hospital, Saranac Lake,
N. Y.
Just a few lines would do a lot of good. . ..
CS Tops State
A report released last week by the United Fund Cam
paign headquarters for Texas in Dallas revealed that Col
lege Station residents led the state for their population class
in per capita donations to their United Chest donations last
fall.
College Station citizens donated $16,600 to the United
Chest—a per capita average of $3.32 which was more than
a dollar over the average for other Texas cities of under
25,000.
The $16,600 exceeded the original goal of $13,150 orig
inally set by the leaders of the College Station drive.
Had the men of Aggieland followed the example of the
citizens of College Station, the Campus Chest held on the
campus last fall might have come closer to meeting its goal.
Regardless, the report was another feather in the, cap
of the people who led the College Station drive and to all
those who worked and contributed to the drive.

TEXAS TECH
Texas Tech students are being
apprehended constantly on trips
from numerous wet counties in
the general vicinity of Lubbock
with incriminating cargoes of
spirits.
The situation has gotten so
serious that the following com
ment was made by a law officer
in Castro County, T don’t know
what we are going to do about
the situation. It looks as though
we might have to close that school
down for a few weeks or some
thing.”
“Why the traffic through here
by Tech students alone is enough
to keep our whole force busy.”
SMU
The SMU Campus describes
the typical woman:
He (over the telephone): Did
you have a good time last night?
She: Complete silence.
He: I said, did you have a
good time last night?
She: Silence.
He: Are you going to answer
me? I asked you if you had a
good time last night.
She: Well, I shook my head,
silly.
TEXAS
A story out of tea-sip land
tells how a coed celebrated under
Memorial Stadium, with approval
of the University police.
It seems that on a 10 p.m.
“coffee date” with a boyfriend,
she was surprised as car lights

suddenly blinded them. Her com
panion had arranged for a sur
prise birthday party for her, re
freshments and all.
While munching the cake, the
group of friends noticed a fa
miliar black car pull up.
“And what do you think you
are doing here?” a voice queried.
“Having a birthday party.”
With this the officers joined
the revelers and a good time was
had by all. All that is, but the
coed—she was in the Health
Center the next day with the
flu.
One TU student driver, called
to the Dean of Men’s office, was
told he had an excessive number
of parking violations and would
have to go before a panel of
depns and assistant deans to de
termine the penalty.
The panel examined and cross-
examined only to find the. student
did not seem to place much im
portance on pai’king meter viola
tions. The student was told by
the panelists that his attitude
was, in general, bad and that the
penalty for infraction of such
rules ranged from payment of
the fine to suspension. Then the
student was excused.
Later the verdict of the panel
was handed out: Disciplinary pro
bation—on condition he see a
psychiatrist.
Well, it looks like someone has
finally caught on as to how to
best handle Tea-sips. It’s about
time, isn’t it?

"AN EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES”
Twinkly, lovable old Dr. Wagstaff Sigafoos, head of chemistry
at the Upper Rhode Island College of Science and Palmistry,
cares naught for glory and wealth. All he cares about is to work
in his laboratory, to play Mozart quartets with a few cronies,
to smoke a good Marlboro, and to throw sticks for his faithful
dog Trey to fetch.
So when, after years of patient research, Dr. Sigafoos dis
covered Reverse, a shaving cream which causes whiskers to
grow inward instead of outward, thus enabling a man to bite
off his beard instead of shaving it, it never even crossed his
mind that he had come upon a key to fame and riches; he simply
assigned all his royalties from Reverse to the college and went
on with his quiet life of working in the laboratory, playing
Mozart quartets, smoking good Marlboros and throwing sticks
for his faithful dog Trey. (Trey, incidentally, had died some
years earlier but habit is a strong thing and Dr. Sigafoos to
this day continues to throw sticks.)
As everyone knows, Reverse turned out to be a madly success
ful shaving cream. Royalties in the first month amounted to
$290,000, which came in mighty handy, believe you me, because
the college had long been postponing some urgently needed
repairs—a lightning rod for the men’s dormitory, new hoops for
the basketball court, leather patches for the chess team’s elbows
and a penwiper for the Director of Admissions.
'r&mtovte MmffflmSmmt)--
In the second month royalties amounted to an even million
dollars and the college bought Marlboro cigarettes for all
students and faculty members. It is interesting that the college
chose Marlboro cigarettes though they could well have afforded
more expensive brands. The reason is simply this: you can pay
more for a cigarette but you can’t get a better flavor, a better
smoke. If you think flavor went out when filters came in, try
a Marlboro. The filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste. You,
too, can smoke like a millionaire at a cost which does no violence
to the slimmest of budgets. Marlboros come in soft pack or
flip-top box and can be found at any tobacco counter. Million
aires can be found on yachts.
But I digress. We were speaking of the royalties from
Reverse which continue to accrue at an astonishing rate—now
in excess of one million dollars per week. The college is doing all
it can to spend the money; the student-faculty ratio which used
to be thirty students to one teacher is now thirty teachers to
one student, the Gulf Stream has been purchased for the
Department of Marine Biology; the Dean of Women has been
gold-plated.
But money does not buy happiness, especially in the college
world. Poverty and ivy-that is the academic life-not powder
and pelf. The Upper Rhode Island College of Science and
Palmistry is frankly embarrassed by all this wealth, but I am
pleased to report that the trustees are not taking their calamity
lying down. Last week they earmarked all royalties for a crash
research program headed by Dr. Wagstaff Sigafoos to develop
a whisker which is resistant to Reverse. Let us all join in wish
ing the old gentleman success. © Mm shuimaa
The sponsors of this column can’t offer you money but they
can offer you fine smoking flavor—with or without filter If
you favor filters try a Marlboro. If non-filters are your pleas-
me pick a Philip Morris.
