I could probably get . enough comments there to write a feature on the Smoking Habits - = at Carolina. Taking a long deep drag on my cigarette, I stood at the bottom of the steps and waited for a smoker to walk down. A student came down the stairs with books under his arms and a cigarette dangling from his mouth. "Pardon me," I said, "but would you tell me why you smoke?" "So it will turn my teeth yel low." He said snidely and hurried on out the door. He wasn't muct help but I went on, undaunted, tc the next fellow that came dowii the steps. He was smoking a pipe which had a purplish-gray smoke curl a1 bowl.

It fi gured. A tall, sophisticated btond stood in the corner lighting an extra ong, super-filtered, colored cigar ette. She threw back her head aloofly as she inhaled and then slowly exhaled with her eyes half closed. This should be interesting, I thought as I moved over to her. I"Could you tell me why you smoke that particular brand of cigarette ?" "Really, darling . . .surely you can see that it gives me that cer tain exotic look. . . .It makes me feel so absolutely sexy. . . .Don't you think so?" She began to move closer so that I would be able to see and I moved on off because I had a feature to write. Tough break, but duty comes first.

"I smokes almost all kinds, 'pends on who leaves what butt in which ash tray," he said, as I closed the door and let him go back " as BaW EN you GRO IN YOUE There's no question at engineering at The Bal pany.

In the eyes of Cotton Mather (and his Puritan cohorts) A girl would be a brajen wench - Who wore Bermuda sports.
