Swatting Squad Orders Dread Torture Weapon By FRITZ TIMMEN Jim Rathbun laughed fiendishly. “Yessir,” he said. “Anyone who comes in range of that paddle will sure know it.” And he’s probably right, for the Order of the “0” has ordered a special inch-thick, solid maple paddle with which to chastise any Homecoming tradition violators. No offenders will be excepted throughout the week beginning Tuesday, No vember 25. Even professors and girls will have to pay for their transgres sions if they walk on the grass, fail to say “hello” on “Hello walk,” or walk on the Oregon seal. Other Rules Several other ordinkri'6es have heen passed by Rathbun’s men, the violation of which will result in a session every day at 12:30 p.m. on the steps of Fenton hall. “This weapon has been ordered especially for the., occasion,” Rathbun remarked. ^Tt'^fcill be kept for Order oitfie ,rO'’initia tions, too, and for any other time when it is deemed advisable to use it.” Formidable • . Painted green, with Order of the “O” in lemon on if, this will make a formidable instrument of torture in the hands of such stal warts as Dick Ashcom, Chris Iv erson, Bill Regner, Elliott Wilson, Curt Mecham, or Dick Whitman. “Whitman should be especially able,’ Rathbun grinned, with a sadistic gleam in his eye. “He’s got plenty of power in those wrists from swinging a baseball bat.” Mete It Out Violators accosted by “O” men on the campus will be expected to be at Fenton each noon at 12:30 to receive their punishment. If they don’t appear it will be twice as bad when they are caught, Rathbun announced. Hacking sessions will be held every day from Tuesday through Friday with the exception of Thursday because of military classes.

XSB2C-1- It’s the Navy’s new dive bombing sensation — Test Pilot Bill Ward at the stick HOW DOES IT FEEL to dive straight down from several miles up? Bill Ward knows. He’s the test pilot who put this amazing new Curtiss dive bomber through her paces for the Navy. That’s Bill {in the picture at the left, above) smoking his {and the Navy man’s) favorite cigarette. He’ll tell you— “YOUR EARS CRACKLE and pop. You think,” says Bill Ward, "the whole world’s trying to squeeze the daylights out of you. You think maybe it has, if things go a little foggy or dark when you’re pulling out of your dive.” After a ride like that, a cool, flavorful Camel tastes mighty welcome. The smoke of slower-burning Camels contains 28% LESS NICOTINE than the average of the 4 other largest-selling cigarettes tested—less than any of them—according to independent scientific tests of the smoke itself! Brn,R Test Pilot Bill Ward shares the Navy man’s preference for Camels 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 ways. 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. {*Actual sales records show the favorite cigarette with men in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard is Camel.} THE CIGARETTE OF COSTLIER TOBACCOS
