They are the most decent and obliging of men, the makers of Philip Morris, as one would guess from sampling their product. Only from bounteous hearts could come such a pleasurable cigarette —so felicitously blended, so gratifying to the taste, so soothing to the psyche. And, as though bringing .you the most agreeable cigarette on the market were not enough, the makers of Philip Morris have enclosed their wares in the Snap-Open Pack, an ingeniously contrived wrapping that yields up its treasure without loss of time or cuticle. And, finally, this paragon of cigarettes, wrapped in the paragon of packages, can be had in king-size or regular, as your taste dictates. Who can resist such a winning combination? Not I. A few weeks ago in this column we had a brief lesson in chem istry. Today we take up another attractive science—medicine. Medicine was invented in 10GG by a Greek named Hippocrates. Fie soon attracted around him a group of devoted disciples whom he called “doctors”. The reason he called them “doctors” was that they sat around a dock all day. Some fished, some just dozed in the noonday sun. In truth, there was little else for them to do, because disease was not invented until 1492. After that doctors became very busy, but. it must be reported, their knowledge of medicine was lamentably meagre. They knew only one treatment —a change of climate. For example, a French doctor would send all his patients to Switzerland; a Swiss doctor, on the other hand, would send all his patients to France. By 1789 the entire population of France was living in Switzerland, and vice Versa. This later became known as the Black Tom Explosion. Not until 1924 did medicine, as we know it, come into being. In that year in the little Bavarian village of Pago-Pago an elderly physician named Winko Sigafoos discovered the hot water bottle. lie was, of course, burned as a witch, but his son Lydia, disguised as a linotype, smuggled the hot water bottle out of the country. He called on Florence Nightingale in London but was told by her housekeeper, with some asperity, that Miss Nightingale had died in 1910. Lydia muttered something and, disguised as a feather boa, made his way to America, where he invented the blood stream. Medicine, as it is taught at your very own college, can be divided roughly into two classifications. There is internal medicine, which is the treatment of internes, and external medicine, which is the treatment of externes. Diseases also fall into two broad categories — chronic and acute. Chronic disease, is of course, inflammation of the chron, which can be mighty painful, believe you me! Last summer my cousin Haskell was stricken with a chron attack while out pick ing up tinfoil, and it was months before the wretched bov could straighten up. In fact, even after he was cured, Haskell con tinued to walk around bent over double. This went on for some weeks before Dr. Caligari, the lovable old country practitioner who treats Haskell, discovered that Haskell had his pants but toned to his vest. Two years ago Haskell had Addison’s disease, fAddison curiously enough, had Haskell’s.) Poor Haskell catches every thing that comes along. Lovable old Dr. Caligari once said t* ‘ Son -, 1 * UeSS - vou are what the >' <^11 a natural born catcher.” The joke is on you. Doc,” replied Haskell. “I am a third Fiddle with the X-ray machin^ Contributrto'ihT 5^^ . . . And, remember, medicine can be fun!

KORA will not broadcast the game. Arkansas, 5-4 over the conference season, is currently resting in third place in SWC standings. “The boys looked good today,” said Coach John Floyd, after send ing his team through a 30-minute scrimmage against Arkansas’ of fensive and defensive plays. Floyd will start the same five that opened against Texas Tuesday night. George Mehaffey will be at Cen tex-, Bill Brophy and John Henry, forwards, and Ted Harrod and John Fortenberry, guards. A&M goes into the contest with a 1-9 SWC record. Soccer Offered Here Now in PE For the first time, soccer is on A&M’s required physical education list. P. M. Andrews, who teaches the course, said the 27 students are very enthusiastic about it. “In the long run, I think this program will help the Aggie soccer team,” he said. Primary xeason for offering the course, said Herman Segrest, head of the required P.E. office, is to accomodate foreign students w h o played soccer in their secondary schools. Kid Gavilan needed 7 yeax*s, 11 months and 88 fights to win the welterweight fight title. Badminton Group Any faculty member of Col lege Station residents interes ted in forming a group to play badminton should contact Barney Welch, intramural ath letics director. Welch said that if enough are interested, the group could reserve DeWare field house one night a week. Ag Soccer Team Plays Bryan Here The Aggie soccer- team meets Bryan air force base here at 3 p.m. Satux-day in its second In ternational Soccer league game of the season. There will be no admission charge. Game site is the new soc cer field southeast of White col iseum. Last Sunday, the Aggies defeat ed University of Houston, 4-2, in their league opener. Juan Lettus put A&M in front on a 30-yaxd boot, then the Cougars scored twice. Eion McDowell tied the game for A&M, then Letts scox-ed again for a 3-2 lead. Joige Hidalgo kicked the final goal of the game, played in freezing weather and rain.
