On Campus Mth Max Qhulmm (Author of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek,” etc.) ^LLth knotty Question^ 361 ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH Today I begin my second year of writing this column for Dbiiip Morris Cigarettes. Once evei'y week during the coming s c hool year I will take up, without fear or favor, issues that inflame the minds and quicken the hearts of college students everywhere. I will grapple with such knotty questions as: “Is cornpulsoi'y attendance the I'eflection of an insecure faculty?” and “Is the unmarried student obsolete?” and “Are room-mates sanitary?” While each week I make a bold assault upon these burning issues, I will also attempt to beguile you into smoking Philip Mqrris Cigarettes. Into each column I will craftily weave some words in praise of Philip \^'di6r3PPLe Wither Morris. I will extol, ob liquely, the benign mild ness of Philip Morris’s well-born tobacco, its soothing fragrance, its tonic freshness, its docile temperateness, its oh-so- welcome gentleness in this spiky and abrasive world of O Ul'S. For saying these kind things about their ciga rettes, the Philip Morris Company will pay me money. This is the Ameri can Way. This is De mocracy. This is Enlight ened Self Interest. This is the System that Made Our Country Great, and anybody who doesn’t like it is maladjusted. Perhaps it would be well in this first column of the year to tell you a little about myself. I am 36 years of age, but still remarkably active. 1 am squat, moon-faced, have all my teeth, and am fond of folk dancing and Lotto. My hobby is collecting mucilage. I first took up writing because I was too short to steal. Bare foot Bojj With Cheek was my maiden effort, and today, fourteen years later; I continue to write about college students. This is called “arrested de /** velopment.” r But I can’t help it. Though 1 am now in the winter of my life, the prob lems of undergraduates still seem to me as pressing as ever. How to pursue a blaz ing romance with exams coming up next Friday in physics, history and French ; how to convince your stingy father that life is a bitter mockery without a yellow convertible; how to subsist on dormitory food — these remain the topics that roil my sluggish blood. And in this column from now until next June you will read of such things : of dating and pinning, of fraternities and sorori ties and independents, of cutting and cramming, of athletes and average-raisers, of extra-and intra-curriculum, of textbooks and those who write them and those who sell them and those who read them and those who don’t. And, slyly woven into this stirring tapestry, the story of Philip Morris, America’s gentle cigarette, in the handy Snap- Open pack, in king-size or regular, at prices all can afford. ©Max Shulman, 1U55 The makers of Philip Ulorris are happy to be back icith you for another year of gttotl reading and good smoking — icith gentle Philip Morris, of course. fcom-tiiateiSaridary Th G B attalion The Editorial Policy of The Battalion Represents the Views of the Student Editors The Battalion, newspaper of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas and the City of College Station, is published by stu dents four times a week during the regular school year.
