He ' ll tell you— •YOUR EARS CRACKLE and pop. You think, says Bill, the whole world ' s trying to squeeze the daylights out of you. You think maybe they have, if things go a little foggy or dark when you ' re pulling out of your dive. After a ride like that, a Camel tastes mighty welcome.

Tesi Pilot Bill Ward shares the Navy man ' s preference for the cigarette of costlier tobaccos. , . Camel SPEAKING of tests, Bill Ward adds: Those recent laboratory tests showing less nicotine in the smoke of Camels only go to prove what I ' ve always found in my smoking — Camels are milder in lots of trays. That ' s what counts with me. Light up a Camel yourself. You ' ll know in the first few flavorful puffs why, with men in the service . . . with the millions behind them . . . it ' s Camels.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS It becomes increasingly apparent that there is some- thing definitely wrong somewhere on our campus but that elusive little something is as hard to set our hands on as a greased pig, principally because we have no idea what it is. The symtoms of the ailment are painfully present; we are all aware of them; apathy, lethargy, and a general lack of spirit, enthusiasm, interest, and good clean fun. Or, briefly and to the point, Bethany has lost it ' s tradi- tional spizz, vim, vigor and vitality. Never in the history of Bethany has dating fallen to such a low ebb that it became necessary to let the ladies do the dating. True, everyone had a good time, everyone entered into the spirit of the thing, and it was quite suc- cessful but, and here ' s the rub, why did the social com- mittee feel that such an affair was in demand? Because it was novel, we say. Alright, it was novel but, we know there was more to it than that. We all know that so few fellows were dating that the girls were becoming a trifle discontent and something had to be done. The very proof of this statement is the success we have noted for leap week. The girls entered into the thing seriously because they wanted dates. The men entered into it because it was the most satisfying thing for the male ego that has ever taken place in Bethany. Results: (temporary) the girls are broke. The male egos are sated. Results (per- manent) none. Dating has resumed its former negligible status. What we are interested in is the WHY of the issue. It was often said that four girls out of five were pretty and the other one came to Bethany, but no fair and unbiased observer can look over this year ' s crop of pulchcritude and make that statement. Most of the men agree that th re are more beautiful women in Bethany this 5 ' ear than there have been in the last several years. From this we may conclude it is not a lack of local talent but a lack of in- terest in the talent on the part of the men. H owever this does not only apply to dating but to every other phase of college life as well; to classes, to clubs, and worst of all, to our football team. It is only fair to add that, with the possible exception of dating, this applies to the girls as well as to the men. We are bored, we find everything dull, and we lay the blame on the school, the administration, the faculty, the weather, the international situation, in fact upon every- thing but the right thing — ourselves. The school, facul- ty, and administration are the same as they have always been. They are in no way curtailing our activities. If our activities are fewer and not so enjoyable as in former years we have only ourselves and our lack of spirit to blame! Let ' s all get back into the swing of things and help the Moo Moo Moo, the 20 Club and above all our- selves make 41-42 a banner year at Bethany!
