WASHINGTON (A 3 )—Vice
President Richard M. Nixon is
countering Democratic attempts
to tag him as a GOP Old Guards
man with efforts to show he has
united Republican party support.
As a part of this strategy, Nix
on’s name is scheduled to go into
the April 26 Pennsylvania pri
mary today as an upopposed can-
didite for the Republican presi
dential nomination.
Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) an
nounced Monday that petitions to
put Nixon’s name on the ballot
are being filed with Nixon’s
knowledge.
An entry in Pennsylvania
would bring to eight the primar
ies in which the vice president’s
name will be before the voters
either directly or represented by
a delegate slate.
Nixon thus is matching the
number of primaries in which
Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
has entered or, in one case, is
represented by proxy. In Ohio,
Gov. Michael V. DiSalle is run-
On Other Campuses
By Alan Payne
TCU
A TCU student, known as “Big
Mike” and a confessed Beatnik,
is running for a student office in
the upcoming spring elections.
His usual attire around campus
is a big beapd and an old, worn-
out ‘ole Army’ field jacket.
“Big Mike’s” campaign centers
around his dislike for poll taxes
and a desire “to change the
United States back into a democ
racy.” When questioned about
his being a beatnik, “Big Mike”
replied, “our policy is to do what
you want to do and leave every-
''body eTse" aloite.”
His campaign as yet hasn’t
cost a cent. All his campaigning
is done in fmpromptu gatherings
around the campus. His follow
ers attend these gatherings in
white sheets and carry torches.

ning pledged to the Massachus
etts senator.
In each instance Nixon has
made it clear he has permitted
the entry of his name primarily
because local Republicans urged
the action. They want to heal
breaches in the party that go
back to the 1952 fight between
President Eisenhower and the
late Sen. Robert A. Taft for the
presidential nomination.
If Nixon brings out a substa-
tial number of Republican voters
in all eight states—even though
he is unopposed—the vice presi
dent’s followers will be prepared
to claim that the GOP is united
behind him.
Of the eight states, Wisconsin,
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana east
their votes at the 1952 conven
tion for Taft. New Hampshire
and Oregon went for Eisenhower
and Pennsylvania gave him a 53-
15 margin over Taft. Nixon’s
home state of California was a
holdout for Chief Justice Earl
Warren.

What I don’t find amusing
about the article is that most of
it is true. I was listening to the
game on the radio and I was em*
harassed by the tremendous boo
ing by the Aggie fans. When I
was a Fish, one of the first
things I was taught was that
booing was not consistent with
sportsmanship at A&M or any
where else. I still hold this to be
one of the most valuable lessons
I learned at A&M. I deplore the
thought of this breach of conduct
by Aggie fans, and I sincerely
hope it will not recur.
Sincerely yours,

Act.
A graduate of George Wash

Administration, Department of
Agriculture. He relinquished
these posts in 1942 to run suc
cessfully for Congress.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON <A>» — Organ
ized drug manufacturers denied
vigorously today their industry
is profiteering against the sick,
pr dealing in monopolistic prac
tices.
Dr. Austin Smith of Washing
ton, president of the Pharma
ceutical Manufacturers Assn.,
contended instead that drugs and
medicines are “the real bargain”
for the buying public today. His
testimony was prepared for re
newed hearings by the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly subcom
mittee.
At earlier hearings, the sub
committee has heard testimony
that some big manufacturers
have received markups as big as
several thousand per cent on
medicines sold to patients for up
to 50 cents a dose.
Smith contended that singling
out the price of one out of many
products of a firm could mislead
the public.
Vigorously defending medicine
prices as reasonable, he said:
“Americans would be paying a
billion dollars a year more for
drugs if the price of medicine in
the past few years had gone up
only as much as the total cost of
living.”
He said drug prices rose 3 per
cent in the last 10 years while
the average wholesale price of all
industrial products went up 22
per cent.
He told the subcommittee that
the industry is doing a good job
under the free enterprise system.
Smith said he spoke for 138
manufacturers of prescription
drugs and medicines who are
members of his association.
Far from any monopoly, Smith
said, the United States leads the
world in the discovery and devel
opment of hew medical prepara
tions because of intense competi
tion among the 1,300 firms which
manufacture prescription drugs
in the United States.

them, he said, has as much as 10
per cent of the industry’s total

tee to find that his is one of the
most competitive industries it
has ever examined.
Smith gave a step by step ac
count of what he said goes into
the cost of developing and mar
keting a new medicine—or selling
an established one.
He said research and develop,

so is the use of specialists known

THREE WHO PASSED IN THE NIGHT
Last year, as everyone knows, 1,210,614 undergraduates dropped
out of eollege. 256,080 flunked; 309,656 got marrietd; 375,621
ran out of money; and 309,254 found jobs, As you have, of
eourse, observed, this accounts for only 1,210,611 out of
1,210,614. What happened to the other three?
Well sir, to find the answer, I recently completed a tour of
American campuses where I interviewed 40 million students
and sold several subscriptions to The Open Road for Boys, and
it pleases me to report that I can now account for those three
elusive undergraduates.
The first was an LSU junior named Fred Gaugin. He was
extremely popular, always ready with a smile, fond of folk
dancing and pralines, and last semester his Chi Psi brothers
unanimously elected him treasurer of the fraternity. This proved
an error. Gaugin, alas, promptly absconded with the money
and went to Tahiti to paint. The fraternity is bending every
•ffort to extradite Gaugin, but Tahiti, alas, is currently observ
ing the feast of Dipthong, the Sun-God, a five-year ceremony
•taring winch all the islanders wear masks, so nobody, alas, can
Mg ta* eertain wbi»h one is Gaugin.

tymfmWbrceiimWliicli cmrisSMiH.
The second missing undergraduate is William Cullen Sigafoos,
©regon State freshman, who went one day last fall to a dis
reputable vendor named A. M. Sashweight to buy a pack of
Mariboros. Mi - . Sashweight did not have any Marlboros be-
•cuiee Marlboros are only sold by reputable vendors. However,
he told Sigafoos that he had another brand which was just as
good, and Sigafoos, being but an innocent freshman, believed
kira.
Well sir, you and I know there is no other brand as good as
Marlboros. That fine filter, that flavorful flavor, that pleasure,
that joy, that fulfillment—are Marlboro’s and Marlboro’s alone.
All of this was quickly apparent to young Sigafoos and he
flew into a terrible rage. “As good as Marlboros indeed!” he
ehrieked, kicking his roommate furiously. “I am going right
back to that mendacious Mr. Sashweight and give him a thrash
ing he won’t soon forget!” With that he seized his lacrosse bat
and rushed out.
Mr. Sashweight heard-him coming and started running. Now
Mr. Sashweight, before he became a disreputable vendor, had
taken numerous prizes as a cross-country runner, and he thought
he would soon outdistance young Sigafoos. But he reckoned
without Sigafoos’s stick-to-itiveness. At last report the two
»f them had passed Cleveland. When they reach the Atlantic
Seaboard, bad Mr. Sashweight will get his lumps from Sigafoos,
you may be sure, and I, for one, am glad.
The third missing undergraduate, also named Sigafoos, is a
Bennington sophomore named Celeste Sigafoos and, ironically,
*he never intended to leave college at all. She was merely going
home for Christmas on the Natchez, Mobile, and Boise Rail
road, and during the night, alas, her upper berth slammed shut
on her. Being a Bennington girl, she naturally did not wish to
make an unseemly outcry, so she just kept silent. The next
morning, alas, the railroad went bankrupt, and Miss Sigafoos
today is lying forgotten on a siding near Valparaiso, Indiana.
Fortunately she has plenty of Marlboros with heir.

And how about the rest of you? Do you have plenty of
Marlboros ? Or if you like mildness but you don’t like
filters, plenty of Philip Morrises? Emm? Do you?
