“Count” Sugareff, Colorful Member Of
A. & M. Faculty, Is a Real Count in Europe
By George Fuermann
The “Count” is no count be
cause the American Constitution
does not recognize titles of nobil
ity; but in the country of his birth
he is a count of the first order.
One of A. & M.’s most colorful,
popular, and dynamic figures, the
“History Department’is Vangel
Konstantine “Count” Sugareff was
born in Monastir, Yugoslavia
(Turkish territory) at the time of
his birth) in 1896 and remained
there until he was thirteen years
old. The circumstances behind his
leaving Yugoslavia make an inter
esting story in themselves.
As a member of the nobility
Count’s family had been active in
revolutionary matters for over 260
years. In 1903, his bother, George
Sugareff, was leading another rev
olution against the Turkish gov
ernment. Unsuccessful in the at
tempt, George moved the remain
der of the Sugareffs out of the
country because their lives were in
grave danger as long as they re
mained. George himself did not
leave and was killed in battle
three years later.
And so it was that Count came

This is one you’ve just got to have—
unless you’re a bookish fellow given
to staying indoors. The "watch-case” top
on this pipe keeps the wind from tearing
into the pipe-bowl and "emptying” it.

The slotted grill controls the draft
perfectly, and slides back sideways for
filling and emptying. The whole pipe is
trim as a watch and tight as a clam—

‘Count” Sugareff
where he attended grade school.
His first job after arriving in the
United States, Count declared, was
learning English. “The only Eng
lish I knew on my arrival was ‘yes’
and ‘no’ and of course, I couldn’t
go to school until I had learned
the entire language,” Count said.
When he was sixteen years old
Count entered the Mt. Herman
School for Boys, a prep school
located at Mt. Herman, Massa
chusetts. He remained at Mt.
Herman for five years, after which
time he entered Syracuse Uni
versity on a four-year scholarship.
At Syracuse Count obtained his
B. A. degree and then attended
Harvard, again with a scholarship
and obtained his M. A. degree. He
earned every nickel of his educa
tional expenses from grade school
through college.
After Harvard, Count entered
the United States Army where “I
received practical experience in
American democracy.” Count was
in the Field Artillery officers
school at Camp Taylor, Kentucky,
at the time the war ended.
Since the war Count has been
teaching constantly. His teaching
career has included schools in
West Yirgiina, New York, Ohio
and Texas. He first came to Ag-
gieland in 1923 at which time the
corps gave him his now famous
nickname. Count and Mrs. Sugar-

All men are invited to try out
for the pistol team, which won the

Students Believe That Publications
Should Not Be Limited To Campus News
Nearly two-thirds of the vast
army of students who read more
than 850 college and university
newspapers believe that their pub
lications should not limit their
editorial comment to campus prob
lems, but should also take up mat
ters of national and international
importance.
This is the result of a national
poll just taken by the Student
Opinion Surveys of America, the
college newspaper’s public opin
ion news service that each week
reports surveys taken by means
of mathematical samplings. The
Battalion is a cooperating mem
ber.
This sentiment, although well
turned toward the positive side, is
not a dictate from the readers to
the editors, however, for the sur
veys show that this is clearly
a local problem. Readers of large
university papers such as the Min
nesota Daily or the Michigan Daily
are almost unanimous in their be
lief that editorial stands should not
be limited. But in smaller schools,
where papers do not carry wire
news of world happenings and cam
pus problems are more intimate
ly felt, student bodies in some
instances voted to keep the edi
torial page strictly to their own af
fairs.
Section-by-section reports to the
question, “Should college newspa
pers limit their editorial stands to
campus problems, or should they
discuss national and international
questions also ? ” are, in percent
ages:

A good summary of opinion as
found on many campuses was ex
plained by Dan Kasle, interviewer
for the Campus Collegian at the
University of Toledo, in these
words: “A great many students,
although wishing other than col
lege problems discussed, feel that
the editorial department of their
papers should contain a greater
amount of campus material. City
newspapers, they say, is the place
for other affairs.”

And nothing destroys to

Fast-burning cigarettes
can’t yield either comfort or
delicate taste. They taste...
well, like anything but a.good
cigarette. Camel’s slow-

give you the luxury of milder,
cooler, more fragrant and
flavorous smoking.
And that luxury not only
doesn’t cost you more ... it
costs you less! Simple arith

equivalent of 5 extra smokes

made impartial tests on 16 of the largest-selling
cigarette brands. They found that CAMELS
