“TO BIGOTRY NO SANCTION
With Malice Toward None;
With Charity For All
Fuermann and Russell
Are Aid Fund Executives
Elected Tuesday
At the Organization
Committee Meeting
George Fuermann, Battalion as
sociate editor, and Dan A. 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

Breathtaking spins, spirals, jumps
—there’s a thrill in every click of

only one of the “extras” you get in
slower-burning Camels.

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!
