Timm Will Speak To Bank Members Dr. Tyrus R. Timm, head of the Department of Agricultural Eco nomics and Sociology, will be the principal speaker for the Ninth Annual Conference of Bank Cor respondents, being held today by the First National Bank in St. Louis, Mo. Dr. Timm received the invitation in a letter from Mr. William A. McDonnell, president. Mr. McDon nell says, in part: “The confer ence, which usually attracts ap proximately 700 bankers from the midcontinent area, represents an effort to present to our correspond ents a well rounded program of current economic, agricultural and banking information.” Dr. Timm has chosen as his sub ject, “The Changing Nature of American Agriculture.” On Campus Uftth MaxQhuImari (Author of “Barefoot Boy With Cheek,etc.) ^at does <3 0Al(DC tmoke? HOW TO BE A BMOC Any man who wishes to be a BMOC—you show me one who doesn’t and I’ll show you a misspent youth—will do well to fol low the few simple rules listed below. The first requisite of a BMOC is, of course, a letter in athletics. This presents no great problem to the big, the strong, and the hulking. But what do you do if you are a puny little chap with a concave chest and muscles like tallow? I’ll tell you what you do: You go to the nearest letter store, buy a letter, sew it on your sweater, and wear it. This, perhaps, is not strictly ethical, but chances are slim that anybody will question you about it. If someone should, you have a perfectly logical explana tion. Simply say, “That T’ on my sweater does not stand for Towa.’ It stands for ‘Infirm.’ ”. . . Or, “That ‘P’ does not stand for ‘Princeton.’ It stands for ‘Poorly.’”. . . Or, “That ‘W&L’ does not stand for ‘Washington and Lee.’ It stands for ‘Withered and Lumpy.’”. . . Or, “That ‘BG’ does not stand for ‘Bowling Green.’ It stands for ‘Badly Gangrenous.’ ” So, you see, getting the letter-sweater is no large task. But that is only a part of BMOC-hood. Another, and equally important, part is to join the right fraternity. Let me emphasize—the right fraternity. Joining the wrong fraternity is worse than joining no fraternity at all. How can you be sure that the fraternity you join is the right one? Very simply. Just ask the rushing chairman. After all, why should he lie to you? Once the BMOC is estab lished in the right frater nity, the next step is to get ^ the right girl. A BMOC’s girl must be beautiful, shapely, and go well with all his suits. Girls answering this de scription are admittedly not easy to find. If you should discover that all the suitable girls on yopr campus aye already attached, do not despair. There are several things you can do. You can, for example, cut your throat. Or you can pick one of the less attractive ladies on campus, veil her, dress her in houri pants, and tell everybody she is an ex change student from Istan bul. (A fellow I knew in school — Hardtack Sigafoos by name — did just that. After several semesters he discovered to his surprise that he loved the girl. Today they are happily married and run one of the biggest Turkish baths in Ida Grove, Iowa.) We arrive now at the question: What does a BMOC smoke? And the answer is —new Philip Morris, of corris! Anybody—big man on campus or little man, big woman or little woman—anybody who is able to discern between harsh and gentle chooses new Philip Morris. Gentle is the word for Philip Morris. (Actually, of course, it isn’t. Cigarette is the word for Philip Morris.) But gentle describes admirably the felicitous blending, the smooth, mild, pleasureful flavor, the nobly born and delicately nurtured tobaccos, that Philip Morris—and only Philip Morris—brings you. The makers of Philip Morris, who bring you this column every week during the school year, cordially invite you to try today’s new gentle Philip Morris in the bright new red, while anti gold package, regular or smart king size.

Busy days are the prospect for this period. And we need a lot of things. First we need busy hands—and «lots of them, to get the bonfire built. Next we need busy minds—and clear ones, to keep our grades from dropping. We need to observe the common sense rules of safety in the cutting and bonfire areas—to keep our hands and minds intact. And somewhere in the midst of all of this work and studying—we need sleep. What it all looks like is a 30-hour day crammed into the 24 hours that we are allowed. To accomplish all of our needs and desires we need a miracle. But anybody that saw Saturday’s game with Rice should n’t worry about the Aggies not being able to create their own miracles. If the team can shove a victory into four minutes, the rest of the school shouldn’t have any trouble at all in cramming the extra work we need to do into the time we have to do it. News of I lie World By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER—A young Denver con struction and restaurant worker told last night how he tied 25 sticks of dynamite together to make a bomb that exploded aboard a Unit ed Air Lines plane near Longmont, Colo., Nov. 1. All 44 persons aboard, including the mother of the man, John Gilbert Jack Graham, were killed. U. S. Atty. Donald E. Kelley said Graham, 23-year-old forger, had signed a “written ad mission.” Graham said he set the bomb to earn his mother’s $37,500 flight insurance. ★ ★ ★ GENEVA — Soviet Foreign Minister V. M.
