Page Four Other Colleges Have Hazing, Ratting Activities, Animals By Jean Calhoun Other campuses are “ratting” and “hazing” at this autumn time of the year, according to infor mation received here in the Saleirt- it» office. There are Rat Weeks in other colleges. Take Stevens College, for instance. Here the tables are turned. It is the juniors that are the subjects of the powerful Sen ior Class. The hazing is more modified than in most colleges, though. At Stevens the juniors only have to wear green ribbons, make beds, and serve the mighty seniors breakfast in bed on Sunday morn ing. This friendly hazing method has been substituted for “the more drastic freshman initation em ployed by most colleges and uni versities.” However, at Hampden - Sydney there is an entirely different re action to ratting. A Vigilance Committee^ is in existence there to see that hazing is placed in re sponsible hands. This action is taken to improve the freshmen’s conduct and to help them 'become accustomed to college life. ■ Even at Hampden-Sydney, it seems that the freshman who go through the least hazing often be comes the most violent hazer his sophomore year. Here it is the opinion that “even the most doubt ing freshman is convinced that rat ting is really worthwhile.” And Ramses died. Poor Ramses, who was the Tar Heel’s mascot for so many years. He died in early July, and it is the opinion of his keeper. Bushy Cook, that “the Duke students worried him to death last fall when they chased him around the pasture all night.” A new ram, Rameses VIII, has been obtained, and though his horns are not equal to those of the older ram, he is expected to be in condition for the game this week-end. More animal trouble at Chapel Hill developed when George, the campus Collie, was a canine shooting victim. He was taken to a Chapel Hill veternarian and his drug expenses paid by Carolina students. George is a familiar cam pus student; he breakfasts at the Y and has attended almost every class on campus except organic THE SALEMITE Campus Shots Wedding bells for Peggy Britt .

Guild House and Accessory Organs not Adversely Affected by Smoking Chesterfields ST SIICH REPORT EVER PUBLISHED ABOUT ANY CIGARETTE A responsible consulting organization has reported the results of a continuing study by a competent medical specialist and his staff on the effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes. A group of people from various walks of life was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six months this group of men and women smoked their normal amount of Chesterfields — 10 to 40 a day. 45% of the group have smoked Chesterfields con tinually from one to thirty years for an average of 10 years each. At the beginning and at the end of the six- months period each smoker was given a thorough examination, including X-ray pictures, by the medical specialist and his assistants. The exam ination covered the sinuses as well as the nose, ears and throat. The medical specialist, after a thorough exam ination of every member of the group, stated: ■Tt is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and accessory organs of all participating subjects ex amined by me were not adversely affected in the six-months period by smoking the cigarettes provided.” Soy CHEST ■ k ' J'i''.'. k' ••r.ij'.,. ■'-I.T:': r-; .■ • ;.v ........
