3—THE J-TAO
Tuesday, November 14, 1950
By PAUL BKYCE
Friday, morning, November'-3,
All icy wind blew out of the norft;
and Tarleton students donriwl over-
coats, gloves, 'and .s'cavves. - The
situation grew steadily worse and
by nightfall it was Amarillo wea-
ther in Stephenville.
By 8:00 p. m, the girl's dorm-
itories were cozy and Davis Hall
was basking 111 the plesant hiss
of- steam radiators. Not so in the
"White Elephants", Yearwood and
Prey Halls, for a key part o£ the
.newly installed steam pump was
nHssing. Boys began to don over-
coats,
Don D'Neal, senior petroleum
engineering major from Gorman,
rose to the occasion. Strolling to
the furnace room, he began to
nurse the icy boilers, but alas, to
110 avail—the pressure needle said
minus one pound of steam.
Nine o'clock. Most fellows were
far to uncomfortable to study and
gathered in rooms for "bull ses-
sions."
Ten o'clock,. "You could have
iced beer 011 the radiators," grins
O'Neal. Somebody called Mr, Bal-
low, and the latter appeared a
moment later, clad in a light swea-
ter. -After chattering his assuran-
ces. of prompt action, the tall Dean
•of Men hustled home to figure
out some kind of temporary ar-
rangement. Yearwood and Frey
shivered on.
Eleven o'clock. The pressure nee-
dle claimed two pounds of steam,
but the dorms were fast asjleep—
coats piled two deep on frigid
bodies.
Dawn, Hands reached from warm
covers to feel nearby radiators
and recoiled at the touch of cold
steel. Figures-.arose and .dressed
for warni; classrooms. Then the
hurriedly, welcoming the prospects
school swung- into action, making
temporary repairs and soon steam
was hissing in every room, much
to everyone's relief. Yearwood "and
Frey halls had licked old man
Winter for one more season.

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests
Number 6...THE TURTLE
S: Mr
f
I should never
have stuck
my neck out!"
Lhey hacl our slow-moving brother moving at to.o fast
a pace with those quick-trick cigarette tests! A fast puff... a swift sniff .. „
a quick inhale... a rapid exhale. Terrapin's head was spinning —
didn't know if he was coining or going! But he slowed jlown to his own
speed — decided there was 110 need to rush. After all, he figured,
how could anyone possibly prove cigarette mildness so fast?
And he was right, too! That's why we suggest;
The sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which
simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke —
on a pack after pack, clay after day basis. No snap
Judgments needed. After you've enjoyed Camels -- and only
Camels —for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat,
T for Taste) we believe you'll know why ,,
More People Smoke Camels
