THIS AND THAT
i
Always formost in the ranks of
critics feigning intei’est in activi
ties, fads and other student inter
ests is the professor—the pedant,
pedagogue, purveyor of knowledge
to avid American youth. The stu
dent adopts pleated trousers and
the professor scoffs—the same su
perior attitude is maintained re
garding the darling little, practic
ally brimless hat. “Asinine,” the
erudite gentleman rants to his wife
and any other human unfortunate
enough to be forced to listen.
Youths acceptance of the silly
“yo-yo,” of miniature golf and its
annual disregard for studies dur
ing football season have been the
object of many caustic, cultured
“cracks.” The learned gentleman
himself never takes to anything
“like a duck to water,” never loses
himself in pursuit of pleasure—
he must constantly maintain the
professorial poisee.
Yet, nightly, rain or shine, stu
dents so moved may witness the
unbelieveable. Just north of Wal
ton Hall is a private electrically
lighted croquet “layout” over
which four advocates of strenuous
outdoor exercise knock wooden
balls through wire wickets. A

Eating pie beneath the table is
passed—even freshmen are no
longer doing it. Not because of
softening sophomore hearts, but
because someone in an official ca
pacity has decided that etiquette
shall grace Sbisa Hall. That’s tear
ing at the very foundation of Ag
gie traditions. Once begun this
eradication of “ancient and honor
able” custom may become an ob
session with those who “rale the
roost.” Attempting to foretell the
extent of this destructive tendency
is prognostsication—but it may re
sult in students forsaking the knife
to eat their peas and beans with a
fork, in the inaudible ingurgita
tion of soup, the elimination of el
bows from the table edge, proper
manipulation of bread and disuse
of the table clothes as napkin sub
stitutes. All customs dear to every
true Aggie. Culture may stalk the
campus and students evolve into
gentlemen. From two thousand
cheer-strained throats the cry is
heard, “may God and the ex-stu-
dents forbid!”

; An Economist,” says a contem
porary humorist, “is a financier
without money.” Not always. An
Economist may also be a quagga,
close relative to the ass. In proof
of the forgoing conclusion witness
several statements given students
in a recent true and false examina
tion by a member of the Economics
staff of the A & M College of Tex
as—“George Washington was late
to his first inaugural address be
cause the train on which he was
riding was late,” “Utility is some
thing that may be removed from
a commodity by a chemical pro
cess.” So this is college? Apropos
question, who should conduct the
classes, the students or the instruc
tor?

This constructive revolution in
athletics is largely the work of
college-trained engineers —
young men personally familiar with the
needs of college and school. They are
dedicating the technical experience
gained in the (jeneral Electric Test De
partment to the practical service of under
graduate athletics— designing and instal
ling floodlighting equipment for virtually
every sport—-football, baseball, hockey,
tennis, and track.

featuring the Coast Artillery,
new organization at this school,
and an army unit in which many
modernizing features have been in

Many suggestions of the Engi

Where Turkish tobacco grows
Eastward ho! Four thousand miles nearer the rising
sun—let’s go! To the land of mosques and minarets—
so different from our skyscrapers, stacks and steeples.
Let’s see this strange, strange country. Let’s see the
land where the tobacco* grows
in small leaves on slender stalks—to be tenderly ..,A,
picked, leaf by leaf, hung in long fragrant strings,
shelter-dried and blanket-cured. Precious stuff! T
Let’s taste that delicate aromatic flavor — that |
subtle difference that makes a cigarette!
XANTHI .. CAYALLA . . SMYRNA
<•
In every important tobacco-growing cen
ter Chesterfield has its oum tobaccobuyera
.. samsoun . .famous tobaccos!
*Turkish tobacco is to cigarettes what
seasoning is to food—the''spice,” the"sauce”
—or what rich, sweet cream is to coffee!
You can taste the Turkish in Chesterfield
—there’s enough of it, that’s why. Chester
field has not been stingy with this impor
tant addition to good taste and aroma; four
famous kinds of Turkish leaf—Xanthi,
Cavalla, Samsoun and Smyrna—go into
the smooth, "spicy” Chesterfield blend.
This is just one more reason for Chester
field’s better taste. Tobaccos from far and near,
the best of their several kinds—and the right
kinds. And pure, tasteless cigarette paper,
the purest made. The many requisites of a
milder, better smoke, complete!
That’s why they’re GOOD—they’ve got
to be and they are.
