Russell, head of the rural sociology depart ment, were elected chairman and executive secretary respectively of the A. & M. Student Aid Fund at the fund’s organization meeting held in the Administration building Tuesday afternoon. Following the election of officers, plans were made for the adminis tration of the fund. “It is the committee’s air,” com mitteeman J. H. Focke stated, “to expand the fund in such a manner that any case of merited need will be immediately cared for as soon as it comes to the committee’s at tention.” “For example,” Focke added, “if a cadet is failing his work or is otherwise hindered from making the progress he is normally capable of because he cannot afford to buy a pair of glasses, the Student Aid Fund will buy these glasses for him.” • Committeemen emphasized, how ever, that the Student Aid Fund’s work was in no way to be consid ered charity. Cadets benefitting from the fund will sign a non-in- teres t-bearing, no-maturity-date note for the amount received. “Nor does that mean,” Russell pointed out, “that a student will be continually reminded of the ob ligation after he leaves college. He will be asked only once—and then at a certain time which he himself has set in advance as a possible time for him to pay the obligation. If he does not pay it, there will be nothing said. It is strictly an honor obligation,” Russell concluded. Any student who is in need of money for any physical care or any parallel case of merited need may apply to the Student Aid Fund Although neither Fuermann nor Russell was prepared to give an exact figure, it was estimated that almost $1200 was available to be gin the fund’s work. Russell will serve as permament executive secretary and will handle the fund’s finances and permanent records.

THE SMOKE OF SLOWER-BURNING CAMELS GIVES YOU MILDNESS, EXTRA COOLNESS, EXTRA FLAVOR AND ■ Flash from Sun Valley! EVELYN DOMAN FIGURE-SKATING STAR Breathtaking spins, spirals, jumps —there’s a thrill in every click of her flashing blades. And afterwards —“A Camel tastes so good—they have so much more flavor,” says Miss Doman. But more flavor is only one of the “extras” you get in slower-burning Camels. ■ m I mm I Pugh and Bride Arrested Friday As “Car-Theft Suspects” “Just Married” and “Just Ar rested”—this is the short short story of the activities of Marion Pugh and his bride, the former Hel en Braselton, last Friday night. No sooner had the preacher tied the knot and the happy couple had left the chuch when they were ar rested and carried to headquarters to be accused as “car-theft sus pects.” After a bit of fun, much to the embarassment of the two, they were released without bail to honey moon “somewhere in Texas.” They will return here this se mester to make their home in Col lege Park. IF YOU SKATE AT ALL, then you know that cutting a pretty figure is not as simple as pretty Evelyn Doman makes it appear. Be hind her seemingly effortless grace are hours of hard practice. She takes her skating seriously . . . her smoking, too. “I smoke a good deal,” she ex plains. “The slower-burning cigarette—Camel —gives me the extra mildness I want.” Slower-burning . . . costlier tobaccos. Ys, slower-burning Camels give you a fuller measure of flavor without the harsh effects of excess heat... extra mildness, extra coolness, extra flavor—and less nicotine in the smoke. LESS NICOTINE than the average of the 4 other largest-selling brands tested — less than any of them — according to independent laboratory tests of the smoke itself ■VJ o MATTER how much you smoke, all that you get from a -L. n cigarette all the flavor, mildness—you get it in the smoke itself. The smoke’s the thing! Science has told you Camels are slower-burning. This slower way of burning means more mildness, more coolness, more flavor in the smoke. Now, these new independent tests reported above—tests of the brands most of you probably smoke right now—drive home another advantage for you in slower-burning Camels-**^ freedom from nicotine in the smoke. Try slower-burning Camels. Smoke out the facts for yourself. Dealers everywhere feature Camels at attractive carton prices. For convenience for economy —buy Camels by the carton. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, North Carolina BY BURNING 25% SLOWER than the average of the 4 other largest- selling brands tested—slower than any of them—Camels also give you a smoking p/us equal, on the average, to 5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK!
