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.

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.

THE PULSE-POUNDING SAGA OF
DE WITT CLINTON, AMERICAN
Let us today turn our eager young minds to the in
spiring story of De Witt Clinton, one of the greatest
figures in American history and — unaccountably — one
of the most neglected.
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. You will loo. Try a new
natural Philip Morris today!
