A one-day concentrated student protest was sponsored
and conducted by the United States National Student Assn.
Saturday in Washington Square in New York City. In ad
dition, similar demonstrations were planned and urged across
America in revolt of the ever-present racial problems in the
South.
The purpose of the demonstrations was to show sup
port to the battle now being fought by Southern Negro stu
dents for equality of education, facilities and treatment; and
to show student concern with the civil rights problem in
America.
The nationwide protests began with demonstrations on
the East Coast and the smaller sympathy demonstrations
were docketed to begin at noon in each time zone. Also,
several protests were held on campuses and a deluge of tele
grams poured into Nashville, Tenn., to support 100 arrested
students.
Another reason for the demonstrations was to make the
nation aware of the civil rights situation—a problem which
receives little coverage by America’s communication media
and of which the public is virtually ignorant.
The USNSA is evidently attempting to solve the racial
problem by conducting and sponsoring student revolts. And
it seems rather unusual an association representing Ameri
can college students would take such means to focus atten
tion on an issue in a nation where revolts and demonstrations
are frowned upon. Moreover it seems unusual these efforts
are being conducted when the Senate has been in session
over a week on the problem.
True, the method of legislation may be slightly barbarous
with the sessions in the all-night filibuster stages, but to call
attention to a problem currently on the Senate floor is rather
riduculous. It is also rather barbarous to conduct demon
strations in a nation where issues are taken into account in
debate and session.
The telegrams, the demonstrations, the campus protests,
et al are actually uncalled for because their purpose is being-
accomplished. America is aware of the civil rights problem—
has been for years—and is currently doing something about
it.
A student revolt, especially one sponsored by a national
student association, is not a very mature means to call at
tention to and aid the solving of a major issue .. .

Approximately 1,000 students from across Texas were

School Career Day—a definite reversal from the apparent
early lack of effort on the part of the students in promoting
the event.

Job Interviews
TU
We just couldn’t pass by this
exerpt from TU’s Daily Texan.
The sentiments in the story
couldn’t possibly be better stated.
It goes like this:
Suddenly, car tires squeal
around a corner and an automo
bile skids to a halt in front of the
dorm. Two ashen-faced students
emerge, and the male member
begins fighting his way through
the snarling, snapping crowd.
A pall of gloom descends
quickly on all present when the
couple’s dire situation is real
ized: SHE IS LATE! Even the
strongest people quiver when
this predicament sinks in.
As a girl cannot muster the
nerve to knock on the door, her
date must do it. He gently taps
on the glass. Nothing. The
crowd is silent. He taps again.
From far off a muted bugle
sounds. Finally, the door opens
a crack and the housemother
peeks out.
“It’s me, Miss Chance, Janice
Comelately.”
“Whaddaya want?”
“Can I come in?”
“You’re late. Three-tenths of
a second late. What’s your ex
cuse?”
Silence.
The door opens just enough for
Janice to slip in. “You realize,
of course, that you are campused
for the remainder of the semes
ter, you wil} sleep in the hall and
will stand at attention when spo
ken to.”
Now, whoever heard of such
strict punishment?

And then the Tea-sips are still
having all kinds of trouble find
ing a candidate for editor of next
year’s Ranger. A cartoon char
acter known as Hairy Ranger
has been entered as a write-in
candidate.
His platform is to “clean out
the insiduous forces of virtue and
complacency which make the
Daily Mexican so uninteresting.”
The Daily Texan editorial staff
thinks so much of this platform
that they have publicly stated,
“We may petition Texas Student
Publications to do away with the
low-brow Ranger and its staff.”

THE SEARCH FOR BRIDEY SIGAFOOS
It was a dullish evening at the Theta house. The pledges were
down in the catacombs; the actives were sacked out upstairs,
not doing much of anything. Mary Ellen Krumbald was stick
ing pins in an effigy of the housemother; Evelyn Zinsmaster
was welding a manhole cover to her charm bracelet; Algelica
McKeesport was writing a letter to Fabian in blood. Like I say,
it was a dullish evening.
Suddenly Dolores Vladnay stood up and stamped her foot.
‘‘Chaps,” she said to her sorors, “this is too yawn-making! Let’s
do something gay and mad and gasp-making. Anybody got an
idea?”
“No,” said the sorors, shaking their little sausage curls.
“Think, chaps, think!” said Dolores and passed Marlboro
cigarettes to everybody, for if there ever was a smoke to start
you thinking, it is mild and flavorful Marlboro! Things come
clear when you puff that good, clean smoke through that fine
filter—knots untie, dilemmas dissolve, problems evaporate,
cobwebs vanish, fog disperses, and the benevolent sun pours
radiance on a new and dewy world. Oh, happy world! Oh,
Marlboro! Oh, soft pack! Oh, flip-top box! Oh, get some
already!
Now Geraldine Quidnunc, her drooping brain cells revivified
by a good Marlboro, leapt up and cried, “Oh, I have a perfect
gasser of an idea! Let’s hypnotize somebody!”
“Oh, capital!” cried the sorors. “Oh, tingle-making!”
At this point, in walked a young pledge named Alice Blue-
gown. “Excuse me, mistresses,” said she, tugging her forelock,
“I have finished making your beds, doing your homework, ap;!
ironing your pleats. Will there be anything else?”
“Yes,” snapped Dolores Vladnay. “When I count to three,
you will be hypnotized.”
“Yes, excellency,” said Alice, bobbing a curtsey.
“One, two, three,” said Dolores.
Alice promptly went into a trance.
“Go back,” said Dolores, “back into your childhood. Go
back to your fifth birthday, back to your birth, to before your
birth, to your last incarnation ... Now, who are you?”
“My name is Bridey Sigafoos,” said Alice. “The year is 1818,
and I am in County Cork.”
“Coo!” said the sorors.
“How old are you?” asked Dolores.
“I am seven,” said Alice.
“Where is your mother?” asked Dolores.
“I don’t know,” said Alice. “She got sold at the fair last
year.”
“Coo!” said the sorors.
“Tell us about yourself,” said Dolores.
“I am five feet tall,” said Alice. “I have brown eyes, and I
weigh 3200 pounds.”
“Coo!” said the sorors.
“Isn’t that rather heavy for a girl?” said Dolores.
“Who’s a girl?” said Alice. “I’m a black and white guernsey.”
“Coo!” said the sorors.
“Moo!” said Bridey Sigafoos.

We, the makers of Marlboro, have our doubts about this
story. About cigarettes, however, we hold these truths to be
self-evident: Marlboro for filter smokers, Philip Morris for
non-filter smokers. Try some.
