DON’T BREAK TRADITION, WARNS FROOD! One of the proudest traditions on the American
campus, reports Dr. Frood, is smoking Luckies. Today college students smoke more Luckies
than any other regular. According to Dr. Frood, “Any student who breaks this tradition not only
robs himself of the full pleasure of smoking—but also could, conceivably, bring 'the Curse of
Frood' down upon the entire student body."

DR. FROOD’S thought FOR THE DAY: "Life ain't all beer and skittles," as the saying goes
— but if enough students got together, maybe skittles could make a big comeback.

TWC Student Explains
Views On Art In New Column
By WILDER M. SNODGRASS
Since this is to be the first in what I hope will be a se-
ries of articles dealing with art in El Paso and at TWC per-
haps an introductory word or two would be in order.
As the title of this column suggests, my feelings toward the
idea of discussing art tend toward a personalistic approach.
To me, every artistic endeavor, at least at the outset, is an
extremely personal thing in which •

Dear Dr. Frood: When I entered college as a freshman this fall, my
father gave me a very large sum of money to cover room, board,
tuition, books and all other expenses for four full years of college.
Because of an unfortunate series of poker games, however, the
money is now completely gone. How would you suggest I handle
this situation?
world famous painters go on dis-
play in the Cotton Memorial gal-
leries.
Prints by Kiyoshi Saito and Ben-
ton Murdoch Spurance will occupy
both galleries of Cottom Memorial
from Sunday, December 4, through
December 20.
Spurance. an American painter,
studied at the University of Penn-
sylvania School of Fine Arts. Dur-
ing his years as a painter he has
won numerous awards and in 1950
he received a Geggenheim Fellow-
ship.
His prints, mainly of people, have
been shown in nearly all major
art museums in the United States.
Saito is a self-taught Japanese
artist. He is considered by art crit-
ics as the most popular of Japan’s
modern artists. His works combine
the 900 year old process of wood-
block printing with the latest ul-

LUCKY STRIKE PRESENTS:
WEDNESDAY - SUNDAY
Last Monday evening the El Paso
Symphony Orchestra Assoc. Inc.
presented duo-pianists Luboshultz
Ne ienoff in the third of a
series of subscription concerts at
Liberty Hall. Their first offering
was ■ le Mozart Concerto for two
pianos in E Flat No. 10. (“But just
for the record," conductor Orlando
Darera humorously interjected,
"we played it in F.”)
But be all that as it may, their
inte pretation of the Mozart Con-
cento was strictly serious, extreme-
ly tudied and at no point relaxed,
to say the least. But then came
Johann Strauss’ “The Bat” . . . (a
fantasy from "Die Fledermaus" by
Pierre Luboshutz) . . . and with'
it an entirely fresh outlook.
At this point, the audience seem-
ed to become entertained to the
fullest by two pianists who were
doing little more than having great
fun in music. Light, melodic, gay

a very real part of himself into
that which he creates with his ul-

in view of this, it seems some-
how incongruous to discuss art in
loutones or, figuratively speak-
ing, through blaring stadium loud-
spe kers as one .might announce a
substitute in a football game (if
you’ll pardon what may seem an
untimely analogy).
In any event, I feel it is more
nearly correct to discuss personal
