There's
Greaf
ttteri
about Cigarette Tobaccos
^
There are four types
- of tobaccos found in the more popular
cigarettes, namely... Bright, Maryland,
hurley and Turkish.
All THESE TOBACCOS except Turkish (which is
bought direct from the planters in Turkey and Greece)
and Maryland (which is bought through sealed bids
under government supervision) are bought at public
auction, just like any other auction where you might
have bought in a table or a chair.
A.T THE AUCTION SALE the tobacco is piled in
baskets weighing from about 100 to 500 pounds and
each purchaser buys all of his tobaccos by competitive
bidding for the particular piles he wants.
THE CHESTERFIELD BUYERS buy the best of
these mild ripe tobaccos for the Chesterfield blend.
And it is Chesterfield's Combination the right amounts
of Burley and Bright... just enough Maryland... and
just enough Turkish—that makes the big difference
between Chesterfield and other cigarettes.
It is because of this combination
that Chesterfields are COOLER, have
a BETTER TASTE and are DEFINITELY
MILDER. They are made of the world'?
best cigarette tobaccos. You can't bay
a better cigarette.

Pledges Go On Parade—Frowzled
And Vivid, or Strangely Bedecked
Copyright 1939, Iiggbtt & Myeha Tobacco Co,
By SARA ANDREWS
Club invitation day, which was
observed last Thursday, turned the
dormitories into veritable mad-
houses, and the usually peaceful
campus into a playground for a
parade of grotesque flguregi of ev-
ery description.
In the conglomeration of pled-
ges, we were able to discern rep-
resentatives from the live girls'
clubs and from four of the boys'
clubs.
Lipsticked SOS's Appear
The S. O, S. pledges had on
their chambrays wrong-side-out
and backwards; one high heeled
and one low heeled shoe; on stock-
ing up and one stocking down,
with the letters "S, O. S." written
on the bare leg with lipstick.
On each cheek an S was printed
with lipstick, an O was drawn
around each nose, and their hair
was brizzed out in wild disorder.
Pledges continued a tradition by
carrying seven old shoes.
The O. W. L. S. club made their
members: wear their chambrays
wrong-side-out and backwards,
over long-sleeved pajamas; un-
mated shoes; and O. W. L. S.
pledges around their necks. "0. W.
L, S." was written in large let-
ters on their foreheads, one of the
eyes was painted black like an
owl's eye, and the hair was plaited
in pig tails-.
And Indians Rampage
The Tejas club pledges mas-
queraded as Indians with the us-
ual blankets, moccasins, and feath-
ered head-bands. As additional
gestures, "Tejas" wasi printed in
lipstick on their foreheads and
karo syrup was widely diffused
over their Skin.
Representatives of the J. A. P.
S. club wore chambraya wrong-
side-out and backwards over gun-
ny sack dresses; high heeled
shoes with bright-colored socka,
and stockings over their heads,
hanging dawn their necks Japa.-
nese style. Their faces were made
up with a profusion of grease,
white talcum powder, and green
eyeshadow.
New member® of the D. S. T.
club wore pajamas and house-
slippers. "D. S. T." was printed
on their foreheads with red nail
polish; lipstick was dabbed on
their noses; black eyes, goatees,
and mustaches were painted on
with black mascara, and paste was
smeared over their skin.
Silver Keys Go Feminine
The Silver Keys pledges wore
dresses, hats, hose, and Sam
Browne belts, and car-ried purses.
From their necks were hung huge
keys on which the words "Silver
Keys" were writen.
The Lords and Commoners were
formally dressed, so fas as the
clothing extended, since they wore
coats and hats and carried walk-
ing canes, but they wore no trous-
ers. On one of their legs was: writ-
ten the word "Lords" and on the
other the word "Commoners."
The Vikings had a representative
in the guise of a circus muscle
man dressed in an army uniform
which was much too big and was
stuffed with pillows to make it fit.
Pledges of the Butehes club
could be identified by reading that
name on their foreheads. They
were dressed in pajamas and had
signs on their backs reading, ''I
am one of dem Dutches,"
Pledges Beg, Sell, Sing
The initiation process for the
hoys included everything from
smoking cigars to begging pen-
nies while the girls had to sell
stamps, gather acorns and leaves,
g'ive Tarleton yells and songs, and
tag boys on the dance floor in
the Recreation hall.
Students Will Present
Utopian Program Friday
Pour Tarleton students will
present the Utopian . club pro-
gram next Friday night at 7 o'-
clock in the Conservatory audi-
torium, according to Miss Pearl
Mahan, sponsor.
Don Anderson will discuss the
City of Taos, and Doris Hearne
will review "Earth Horizon.'' Sis-
ters Lucije and Dorothy Mc-
Quary, will sing cowboy ballads,
"Billy the Kid" and "The Cow-
boys .Lament."
There will also be a short bu^
iness meeting.
All students who wish to join
the Utopian club and are eligible
are invited to attend this meet-
Methodist Young People

Young People's organization, sev-
eral Tarleton students will have

Much Visiting in Homes or
On Campus Last Week-End
Armistice Day week-end pro-
vided occasion for much visiting
and home-going among residents
of the men's and women's dormi-
tories.
Many girls who remained on the
campus entertained out-of-town
guests.
Sylvia Bode of Mason, former
Tarleton student, visited her sis-
ter, Era Lea.

formances, classes and
examinations, grades and
graduation. Add to these
the thousand and one events
of a college career, and you
get the true answer to
"What is College?"
