FROOD’S MORAL OF THE MONTH: Make the most of your college days. (The nights will probably haunt you the rest of your life.) Dear Dr. Frood: Is it all right to study with the TV on? Distracted Dear Distracted: Better not. You might miss some of the story. Dear Dr. Frood: The Dean is trying to force me to go to classes. I think this is unfair because last season I scored 16 touchdowns, intercepted 18 passes and kicked 22 field goals in 23 attempts. What should I do? Letter Mm Dear Letter Man: I fail to see how going to classes will help. Better practice your kicking. Dear Dr. Frood: I am a very plain girl and I don’t have much personality. All I want is a man who will love me. Why can’t 1 find one? Sad Dear Sad: You’re too particular. ©/». T. Coj) Field-goal expert kicks about classes (See below) Dear Dr. Frood: I want to get married, but I don’t like children. What shall I do? Surly Dear Surly: Marry an adult. Dear Dr. Frood: My husband teaches at a girl’s college. 1 know it’s silly, but since I’m middle-aged and stout, I am very jealous and worry all the time. What should I do? Plump, Tired Dear Plump, Tired: Keep worrying. Dear Dr. Frood: How can I keep people from borrowing my Luckies? Pestered Dear Pestered: Put them in a Brand X pack. DR. FROOD ON HOW TO BE A BEATNIK I’ve drawn up instructions for becoming a Beatnik: Let your hair grow until your hearing is •noticeably impaired. When beard covers your tie, discard tie. Hang your shoes and socks in effigy. Sell your sink for scrap. Stock your room with cigarettes—because you won’t be allowed on the street any more. (Better make ’em Luckies and enjoy your isolation!) COLLEGE STUDENTS SMOKE MORE LUCKIES THAN ANY OTHER REGULAR! When it comes to choosing their regular smoke, college students head right for fine tobacco. Result: Lucky Strike tops every other regular sold. Lucky’s taste beats all the rest because L.S./M.F.T.—Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. TOBACCO AND TASTE TOO FINE TO FILTER!

An effort is being made to col lect enough magazines from stu dents to send another car load to the hospital during the middle of January. With as many magazines as most students have lying around their rooms, this would be a good opportunity to get rid of some of the older ones and do someone else a favor. If you have any magazines that you would like to donate, take them by the Housing Office as soon as possible.
