Smoker’s Dilemma
Big Family Game
or short length; menthol and non-menthol; brown or white
1 m ' ' or
filter, filters with charcoal or filters recessed, Turkish
American tobaccos and high or low nicotine and tar con
tent.
Like pool, cards or sports, to be a big winner takes
practice. Most parents who raise game winners start their
children early by first demonstrating the technique for
several years.
The game developes an appreciation of being mature
adult, of a unique and constant dependence and crutch for
social and personal problems, and an overwhelming love of
10-minute intermissions.
We recommend this game for the whole family. After
all everyone is doing it. P.S.—Don’t forget to bring the
matches.

Hunt For An Identity
Yesterday’s edition of The
Battalion carried a letter from
Griff Venator, Civilian Student
Council president, and three
civilian student senators. Their
letter was in reference to pre-
Christmas discussion in “Sound
Off” concerning proper dress,
primarily while eating in Sbisa.
Their opinion is that clothing
regulations have no place in a
true university. By the definition
they offer, a university should
welcome new and different ideas
and allow its students the freedom
to learn both in the class and out
side the class, in addition to being
the last institution to judge a man
on such things as length of his
hair or whether he is barefooted
or wearing socks.
Venator has invited all students
to attend the Civilian Student
Council meeting tonight at 7:30
p.m. in Room 3D of the MSC
where the question of clothing
regulations will be discussed.
Whether of not we feel these
students have a valid argument
is not important. What is im
portant is that someone has defi
nite ideas about something and
is trying to do something about
it.
It has been too long since stu
dents saw something they didn’t
like and decided to do something
about the problem.
Some students will immediately
discount the value of such a move
ment, saying that some non-reg
is trying to get his name in the
paper or attract some attention.
It seems apparent that A&M is
headed for a greater degree of
co-education and a smaller—and,
therefore, less influential—Corps,
like it or not.
With this in mind, civilian stu
dents had better start thinking
about the future and taking an
active part in all campus activi
ties.
It’s an accepted fact that the
majority of leaders at Texas A&M
are members of the Corps. Ever
wonder why?
It’s because they don’t spend
all their time playing the pin ball

Smoker’s Dilemma. This favorite game of cigarette
manufactures and smokers features from two to two hun
dred million players, can be played day or night, and has a
proud 300—year tradition.
Like monopoly, everytime the player passes Go he re
ceives 40 cents for another pack of cigarettes.
The big board includes many family favorites. With an
easy role of the dice 12-year old Johnny can buy Emphy
sema, while dad, if he rolls seven or eleven, can buy Cancer,
real cheap.
A good player who can pass Go several times, say three
packs a day, can also wheel and deal for Irritated Eyes,
Smoker’s Cough, and Heart Disease—prized properties in
the marrow of smoking America.
A player who lands on Chance, gets to take a card which
tells the player about the latest medical findings. The
player would miss out on the big prizes if he plays to cau
tiously, so most players remove the card from the game.
A player who lands on Community Chest gets a free
x-ray which he can use to pass Go again if nothing deadly
shows.
One of the hottest properties on the game board is
Status. In order to afford this one, the player must always
smoke with his hand in the air, smoke only the long length
brands, inhale deeply, display a stained index finger, flick
ashes and cigarettes on the game board, frequently bum
cigarettes, and smell like an old cigar.
But the games’ manufacturer’s have made the game
much tougher since it was first played and invented.
They’ve increased the number of brands from which
to choose after you pass Go from 40 to 140 in the past three
years. Fortunately there is a game spinner which can point
to flip-top or regular pack; red, blue, green or gold pack

MEXICO CITY <A>> — Dykes
Askew Simmons, a Texas laborer
convicted of slaying three promi
nent Mexicans more than eight
years ago, stands a good chance
of getting his death sentence com
muted, informed sources reported
Wednesday.
The sources, who have been in
touch with Simmons in his Mon
terrey jail cell, say he has agreed
to a petition of commutation
being submitted when the Nuevo
Leon state legislature reconvenes
in April.
But, they added, Simmons still
maintains he is innocent of the
roadside killing which took place
more than eight years ago, and
looks upon his petition for com
mutation in no way as an admis
sion of guilt.
Simmons, now 39, is the first
American ever sentenced to death
by a Mexican court.
He entered Mexico from Lare
do, Texas, 45 minutes behind a
Monterrey dentist named Raul
Perez Villagomez. About 43 miles
south of the border the dentist’s
car broke down and he went for
help He left his younger brother
and two sisters behind.
When he returned he found his
brother and one sister dead. His
other sister, Hilda Gomez, had
been shot seven times but was
still alive. She later died, but
not before identifying Simmons
as her killer, although the de
scription she gave police at first
was nowhere near that of Sim-
