SCIENCE MADE SIMPLE: NO. 2
Though this column is intended solely as a vehicle for well-
tempered drollery, the makers of Philip Morris have agreed to
let me use this space from time to time for a short lesson in
science. 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

The Aggies dumped Arkansas
earlier this> season, 62-59, here,
their only SWC victory.
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 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.

iseum.
Last Sunday, the Aggies defeat
ed University of Houston, 4-2, in
their league opener. Juan Lettus

boot, then the Cougars scored
twice.
