What’s YOUR
Most PRINCETON
men smoke—
TF you walk along Prospect Street
1 in Princeton you’ll notice how
many men load their pipes from
the familiar blue Edgeworth tin.
At Senior Singing on the steps of
Nassau Hall this spring the pipes
"will glow with Edgeworth.
A pipe and Edgeworth—this is
the smoking combination that has
won the college man. Yale, Dart
mouth, Cornell, Illinois, Stanford
... all agree with Princeton.
College men everywhere respond
to the appeal of pipes— packed with
cool, slow-burning Edgeworth. Be
guided by their choice: Try Edge-
worth yourself. Taste its rich nat
ural savor that is enhanced im
measurably by E '.gdworth’s dis
tinctive eleventh i roeess.
You will find Edgeworth at your
nearest tobacco shop—15^ the tin.

THE PAN
By D. B. McNerney
Easter Sunday—
besides being- a religious holiday, has
taken an important position in the
caendar by being that day when
people fare forth adorned in then-
newest and finest attire. Dresses
and hats of every color and shade
blossom on Easter morn. All this
is merely conventional, of course,
but not a bad custom at that, if
you think about it awhile. We are
not a bit original either because all
of nature “spruces up” with an en-
entirely new form of adornment. It’s
only natural then that we should
follow suit by “primping” a bit our
selves.
If ‘ this man’s army”—
were disbanded and each of us were
in our respective homes we would
be with the rest and among the first
to venture forth on society’s annual
parade-day quite properly attired.
But here’s what we’re driving at—
Why can’t we carry out the custom
ary observance of the advent of
Spring here ? This wouldn’t neces
sitate the purchase of a new uni
form. A simple and thorough “four-
bits” worth of cleaning and press
ing would make the worst of us at
least look respectable. (Note: we
are NOT tailor’s agents, hence an
ticipation of personal monetary gain
does not prompt the above sugges
tion.)
Jf course we might lose—
our reputation of “he-manism” if
the outside world should hear of it,
still the trade wouldn’t be so bad
when one considers the little gain we
derive from our boasts of the extra
amount of hair that grows upon that
part of our anatomies commonly
known as the chest. It might even
pleasantly dis-illusion visitors uhat
our supposedly military bearings
were causing us to receive some
thing else besides a signed privi
lege to light in the next war a la
boots and bars.
Regard of personal appearance—
is essential in any man seeking vhe
respectable position in life that
should be the aim of every college
graduate. This is the proper time to
iorm habits along these lines, since
we are so ambitious as to the soi’t
of position that awaits us upon our
graduation. The fact that a man
dresses a little neater than yourself
does not stamp him as being one of
those socalled “ambitious” creatures
seeking local jealous-laden military
recognition. He might be trying to
form a habit of neatness. At least
give him the benefit of the doubt,
then try a little habit-forming your
self. We should admire a man with
enough regard for self to wear de
cent clothes, but we don’t, and ac
tually brag when we look worse than
any self-respecting tramp would
dare. That is, we try to brag enough
to kill that pang of shame we un
doubtedly feel because of our own
slovenly carelessness.
So, when Easter rolls around—
and the “girl friend” happens along
for a visit, let’s “step out” all shin
ed up in the best “layout” we pos
ses, or, better still, if we have a
“military,” let’s dust off that moth
eaten winter suit that hangs in the
far corner of the closet and be “king
for a day.”

If it be true, as a Presbyterian min
ister is alleged to have asserted, that
the girls in Southwestern College,
Memphis, wear pajamas, shorts and
veils whenever they attend dances, the
Tennessee school may expect an in
flux of male students for its spring
term.

There is nothing surprising in the
opinion of two-thirds of the Dartmouth
students who said they would marry
for money if they had the chance.
To us, it has only been how soon
and how much.

The contest that is now on at Ore
gon University among the men to see
who can raise the curliest, grizzlest,
reddest, most distinguished, etc.,
beards, certainly has one bad feature.
Imagine how the co-eds will feel.

The statement of a Canadian Rail
ways official that students in the low
er third of their class make the best
success in business, gives new hope
to many. The explanation must be that
they are not smart enough to become
professors, and so must go to work.
Just why the authorities at Montana
State College delivered the ultimatum
that all co-eds must be in bed by
11:00 p. m., is not known. Montana
was a part of the Bad Lands many
years ago. Certainly civilization has
progressed a little.

An A P story comes in with the
news of the suspension of three boys
and two girls for drinking—Oregon

dummy story of the above type made
up, with blank lines in which to insert
name fo college, number of students,
etc.

The freshman class at Emory Uni
versity, if weighed together, would
balance an eighteen ton truck. If sold
as junk or fertilizer, the class would
bring $190. If the members were plac
ed end to end, the line would reach
over a quarter of a mile—in any direc
tion except toward the library.
