THE PIPE ORGAN
It seems that the installation of a pipe organ in Guion hall
is comparable to the present graduating class erecting a dormitory
—neither an impossible task, but both of a very difficult nature.
Even at the outset it is hard to imagine such a huge musical
instrument artistically adapted to Guion hall, and to imagine
good acoustics of sounds resulting therefrom, a near impossibility;
but such considerations were investigated prior to starting the
project and a report was made favorable to its installation.
The organ will add to the musical environment of the college
and to the atmosphere of Guion hall, and now that the campaign
has been started, it would be little less than short sightedness and
political insanity for the students of A & M to fail to give their
support to a measure so decidedly in their favor. If an associated
Mothers’ club shows sufficient interest in us and our college to
install such an improvement, it is nothing but logic that we should
lend our support and give it our whole hearted acceptance when
completed.
WHAT OTHERS THINE
FORT WORTH—“They certainly have high ideals; I wish I could live
up to all of them.”
This is the opinion of the majority of the girls of Jarvis Hall, Texas
Christian University, when asked to comment concerning the “Ideal Girl” as
selected by the boys of Texas A and M.
The Aggie student body set up these standards for the Ideal Girl; she
is a brunette, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, doesn’t swear, a smart dresser
but economical, uses cosmetics, plays bridge and is a good mixer, loves chil
dren and her home, knows how to cook, comes of a good family, and is younger
than her sweetheart.
The blondes and the red-heads are not so keen about the “brunette’ re
quirement. “It’s not the color of a*
girl’s hair, or her beauty that counts.”
says one of these. “It’s her person
ality.”
“That may be their paper idea,
but I’ll be willing to bet that not one
out of ten would go with that type
of girl,” commented a scoffing co-ed.
More typical, however, was the
comment, “I think the ideals set forth
in the Aggies’ choice are those held
by every worthwhile boy, and I be
lieve a boy looks for these qualities
in the girl he goes with.

The moment you open the
package you’ll note the differ

packed Camels and dry-as-dust
cigarettes. Camels are supple
and firm to the touch. Stale,
dried-out cigarettes crumble

the real convincer is to smoke
Camels. Every puff is a sheer
