a greater variety of talent, and we
started planning much farther

Love of Animals
Dominates SWC
By JIM BOWER
Battalion News Editor
A new sound has been added to the discordant cries of freedom
.and politics that usually flow from the University of Texas.
It seems that one of the students has become highly indignant
about the treatment the squirrels are receiving on the UT campus.
Said the student in a letter to the Daily Texan, the campus newspaper:
“I had the misfortune of witnessing a UT student throw a rock at
one of our cute squirrels that live in the trees on our campus.” He
further expressed his opinion by saying that he didn’t see how anyone
who was thinking could mistreat the “charming little animals when
everyone enjoys them so much.” He stated that everyone should pitch
in to make the squirrels happy.
We agree and add that ALL of the squirrels at UT should be
kept happy and healthy.
UH
Also joining in the Be Kind to Animals Week is The Cougar, offi
cial paper for the University of Houston.
The Cougar reported that some student was seen trying to run
over a pheasant that was leisurely “striding” across the parking lot.
After dodging the car, the poor fowl disappeared into a clump of
nearby woods to become “a welcome companion to the rabbits and
squirrels that already abound on the campus.”
A note to the pheasant; bop, don’t stride. It’s much more natural
on the UH campus. But watch out for those cool cats.
Baylor
Npthing especially unusual seems to be happening on the Baylor
campus. However, there was one headline in the Lariat which might
stir the imagination. We quote: “1914 Scholarships Deadline Set”.
Okay Aggies, man your time machines and take a short trip back
ward.
Flash from the advertising section of the Lariat; “For Rent:
Honeymoon cottage in Pecan Grove. Couples only. $55 per month.”
No comment.
SMU
The SMU Campus also is devoting its news columns to animals.
Says the campus: “The muskrat is not a rat. He is an amphibious ro
dent and should be called a musquash.”
Poor rats. Even they aren’t safe from the forces of segregation.

YOU’RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK when you light up a Lucky,
because Luckies taste better. Only fine tobacco—naturally
good-tasting tobacco that’s TOASTED to taste better—can
give you taste like this. All of which goes to explain the
Droodle above; Light-up time in caboose, as seen by halted
motorist. Switch to Luckies yourself. You’ll say they’re the
best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked.
