Personality Girl
Sought by Column
... By Vivian Castleberry
A shoe should be hung on every
otuside door of College apartments
next Wednesday night. Occasion is
the Mother’s March of Dimes
against polio. In the city of Col
lege Station front porch lights
will he turned on by all who wish
to contribute to the March. This
is in keeping with the year’s slogan
“Turn O71 Your Porch Light, Fight
Polio Tonight.” In College apart
ments, in lieu of the porch lights,
all families who wish to contribute
to the diive should hang a shoe on
the door knob. Mrs. Johnny Lyons
of College Station is chairman
for the drive in College View.
Her assistant is Gwen Weddell,
who has a personal stake in the
polio drive, because her four-year-
old daughter, Sherrill, was a vic
tim of the dread disease. Sherrill,
a sunny, happy child, is a remark
able example of a fight back
against polio.... So hang the shoe
VVnesday night and get into the
% f fight.
^Vnother candidate for proud-
est-papa-of-the year: Walter
Jackson, a two-day’s growth of
„beard on his chin, was grinning
broadly when we saw him re
cently on the campus announc
ing the birth of his and Mary’s
daughter. The heir-presumptive
>to the throne in the Jackson
household has been christened
Janice. Walter, Mary and Jan
ice are Trailor-area residents.
By the tone of the facial ex
pressions one can almost read the
lines of the letters along with stu
dents after early morning mail
call They take pink-enveloped, per
fume-touched epistles into the MSC
fountain room and promptly give
themselves away by their facial
expressions. More than once lately
we’ve squelched an overwhelming
desire to look over somebody’s
shoulder and query “Is that good
enough to px-int?” . . . Our editor
says that’s the best way known to
man to lose aspiring young col
umnists.
THERE AIN’T-N 0 - JUSTICE!
Such is the belief of Aggie George
Charlton, and we’re inclined to go
along with him. Seems the love-of-
his-life, Mustang coed Nancy
O’Byme, while convalescing from
an appendectomy recently, had the
constant admiring attention of a
Mustang-ed. This went on while
George was tied in Aggieland with
finals, a Commentator publication
deadline, officer-of-the-day duties
and sundry other things that kept
him px-etty close to home base. The
last we saw of George, who claims
he’d just as soon NOT meet this
“other fellow,” he was headed to
ward Dallas to try to cut out his
competition.
HOUSE PARTY. One of the
nicest bids to friendliness we’ve
heard about are the parties held
twice monthly in the apartments at
D-6, College View. Here the girls
get together once every two weeks
to promote the friendliness of an
enth'e house. They bring along sew
ing or mending to be done, buttons
to be sewed on, or some sold; of
handwork, ironing or any other
chore that they would normally do
at home. This they do while they
visit. Monday night Ruth Stanford
was hostess for the house party.
Other members include Polly Frey,
Maxine Dunlop, Pat Spauling, El
sie Pierce, Jean Gunn, Lois Ham
ilton and Helen Wingler. , . . More
on these girls-with-a-magnificient
idea later.
WHO IS SHE? This depart
ment is opening a contest. It’s a
simple thing, with no particular
rules governing it We want to
find out what girl employed on
the campus has the best tele-
prone voice. By that, we mean
who has the friendliest voice, the
best “What-can-I-do-for-you ? ”
tone. Some girls answer the tele
phone with a smile in their voice.
So we open this contest-of-a-sort
to everybody who talks on the
telephone around here. All you
have to do to participate is send
in the name of the girl you wish
to cast a vote for, signed please,
so that we won’t have duplicate
votes. We’ll run the contest about
three weeks.
There will be no prizes, just
a little public recognition through
these columns that the secretaries
and stenographers and bookkeep
ers on this campus are doing their
bit to make this a great big friend
ly world. If you’d like to send in
your nomination of a girl and don’t
know her name, ask her. She’ll be
glad to tell you. . . . Eend your
votes to Vivian Castleberry at the
Battalion Office, and help us find
out who has the nicest telephone
personality around here.
iTROUBLES?
If you think YOU got troubles, you ought to see
Ole Lou! He’s got a sad story that’ll beat any you’ve
got. For instance, he doesn’t know, when he buys
books this term, whether he’ll sell ’em next term.
And it’s doubtful whether he can sell the books, next
Fall, that he buys this semester. But he’s willing
to take a chance IF you’ll come in and TRADE WITH
HIM NOW!
And, listen, my friend. Lou made 2,000 mistakes
which he’ll sell at two-bits apiece. These are books
you used in your courses within the past two years.
Ole Lou bought ’em for resale but they’ve gone out
of date. Buy ’em for reference books.

.he class clown went out on a limb and tried to prove
cigarette mildness by the quick-trick method! He tried the fast inhale, fast
exhale test—a whiff, a sniff—and they still left him up in the air'.
But then he got his feet on the ground. He learned that there is
a reliable way to discover how mild a cigarette can be! * s * a !
And that test is. •,
The sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test
which simply asks you to try Camels as a steady smoke—on a
pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap
judgments needed. After you’ve enjoyed Camels—
and only Camels—for 30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat,
T for Taste), we believe you’ll know why ...
More People Smoke Camels
than any other eigarette!
