The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Thursday, April 4, 1957 Energetic Senators After beginning - the year with a bang and pausing through a mid-year slump, the Student Senate now seems to have shaken the grip of Spring fever and senior-itis and once ■ more is bustling with ideas and activity. Two big campus problems, parking and Kyle Field seat ing have been attacked by the Senators in a most logical and thorough manner which is bound to produce desirable ,, results. These two chronic aches, traditionally the plague of students, offer no little challenge to any group trying to solve them, much less students who have no administrative , power. Detailed' plans on parking and seating have been pre pared, investigated and given serious thought which in turn has produced surprisingly good results. The parking committee, trying for a way to improve and enlarge the parking facilities has come up with the idea of raising the car registration to $2.50 per semester. This is the plan in brief. Armed with a three-page brief on a seating arrange ment, the Senate has gained approval of the Athletic Council for selling reserve seats to juniors and seniors. This will necessitate the raising of the date tickets to those two classes 'Z. to $3.50 but this is because of conference regulations govern- ing the sale of reserve seats. Both are planned for discussion in tonight’s Senate meeting. Only thing needed now is student body participation. C. It behooves every student to see his senator and give his — opinion. Only this way will give the senators a basis for a decision for the good of all. Ag Prof Speaks Here Next Week Dr. Earl O.

A :'-*» Pt,rc \vvr» 1 Mi Hi: Senate Committee Favors Johnson Grazing Program WASHINGTON, UP)—The Senate Agriculture Committee yesterday approved a bill backed by Sen. Lyndon Johnson which would set up a program of “deferred grazing” payments to land owners in drought disaster areas. The bill would direct the presi dent and secretary of agriculture to carry out the plan. Its purpose is to encourage new growth on de nuded grazing lands. Agriculture Secretary Benson criticized the proposal earlier. But chairman Ellender (D-Al) said the committee had revised the meas ure to “meet most of the object- tions raised by Secretary Ben son.” Allbritton Gets Sales Scholarship William Allbritton, junior mar keting major, received a $250 scholarship from the Houston Sales Executive Club last Tues day, according to H. G. Thompson, of Business' Administration Divi sion. The purpose in giving the schol arship is to increase the interest in the field of selling for students of good calibre. Allbritton is the 10th student to receive this schol arship in five years, Thompson said. Tom M. Nelms, president of the Houston club, awarded the schol arship to Allbritton during the eighth annual Sales Clinic, which was held here the first of the week. The clinic was sponsored by the student Marketing Society, Divis ion of Business Administration and the Houston Sales Executive Club. Members of the Sales Clinic Com mittee were Bill McCarty, presi dent of the student Marketing So ciety; H. G. Thompson, of the Di vision of Business Administration and Don Donigan, chairman of the education committee. Department stores usually place their feminine wares on the left and masculine goods on the right. The reason is that women always turn left and men turn right. No one has been able to explain this.

O OT 'EM *$MOKE NATCHROL Vim iO NUW(?IS - liiiiSi,- He tauebt pboneiicTmsFb 12 mm De Witt Clinton (sometimes called Aaron Burr) first made himself known to fame in 1756 when Governor William Penn commissioned him to survey the forests of the Western Reserve. (One is inclined to wonder what in the world Governor Penn could have been thinking of, for De Witt Clinton was eighteen months old at the time.) However, the little chap did remarkably well. He surveyed as far west as Spokane, teaching phonetic English to moi’e than twelve million Indians along the way, and then, tired but happy, he became Johnny Appleseed. Later, he became a keelboat and sailed home to enter politics. He tried to join the Greenback Party, but his back wasn’t green enough, so he joined the Whigs. He was offered the Whig nomination for the presi dency, but declined with the celebrated statement: “If nominated I will not run; if elected I will not serve.” But the Whigs only nudged each other and said, “That old fox, he’s just playing hard to get.” So they nominated him anyhow, and sure enough he did not run, but he was elected anyhow, and sure enough he did not serve. In fact, he was elected to a second tei’m, which he also did not serve. However, only a few top Whigs knew there was nobody in the White House. The rest of the country thought that the President was confined to his room with a wrenched knee. For a while people sent “Get Well” cards, but soon everyone forgot and turned their atten tion to important matters like opening the west, inventing the buffalo, and the Black Tom Explosion. After two terms as President, De Witt Clinton entered Yale and took up smoking. He tried several brands of cigarettes until he found the one brand that pleased him in every particular—Philip Morris, of corris! (You knew I was going to say that, didn’t you? Well, of course you did, especially if you are a Philip Morris smoker, for if you are, you know what a sweetheart of a smoke Philip Morris is — how full of rich, natural flavor, how natural and mellow, how long size and regular. And if you are not a Philip Morris smoker, you’ve got a treat coming. Light one soon. Light either end.) Upon graduation from Yale, De Witt Clinton became commissioner of baseball and smoked and loved Philip Morris Cigarettes for the rest of his long and distin guished life, and when at last he was called to his reward, his friend Old Hickory (Daniel Webster) stood up in the Senate and said, “How sad that De Witt Clinton must now be forever separated from his beloved Philip Morris!” “Nay!” cried Pitt, the Elder (Henry Clay), bounding to his feet. “We need not separate De Witt Clinton and Philip Morris. I know how to keep them together always!” And, sure enough, if you will look at the blue federal tax stamp on your pack of Philip Morris, guess whose picture you’ll see. De Witt Clinton’s! That’s whose! ©Max Shulraan, 1957 T/ie makers of Philip Morris, who bring you this column each week, don’t subscribe to Old Max’s historical data, but we sure admire his taste in cigarettes.
