We left Houston in the highest of
spirits at 8:30 a.m. Saturday ... at
Beaumont, one girl got off for refresh-
and had to be pulled on after
ag two blocks because she had
.heard 'the train ^start.^/; ' • s,i.'N 'H
Our Brst sight of the capitol of
'Hooeyland" was from the levee on
the opposite side of the longest and
most important river in the world. We
were aboard the ferry which carried
our train across the river shortly
after. 11 J j 11 1
During the interval between supper
and the game, we were shown the
campus ... the buildings, all lighted
up for the occasion, were a pleasing
spectacle to the beholder. The only
two; frat houses on the campus were
pointed out and the single Smith
dormitory for girls which was com-
pleted in 1931, looked like a moving
picture set on the inside, in regards
to architecture and the mahogany
furnishings, and the boys crowding
the reception room waiting for their
dates, reminded us of extras on some
De Mille moving picture spectacle.
On the upper floors, girls were rush-
ing hither, thither, and yon ... in
this, that, and the other, jabbering like
magpies all the while, about boys, the
game, and the new pledge pins which
had just been issued by one of the
larger Sororities. By this time, we
felt very much out of place with our
blue and gray colors in a den of pur-
ple and gold supporters, so "Yours
truly" and company beat a hasty re-

treat out of the building. Next, the
boys showed us the gym which Is the
best equipped one in the world and
on the bronze plate in the entrance
is engraved the name of the Hon.
Huey P. Long who wanted the larg-
est indoor swimming pool on aay con-
tinent—and got it. The gymnasium
also Includes the campus post office
and in the main lounging room of the
building, dances are held.
We did not get to see the new Fine
Arts and Music Building where stu-
dents come from all parts of the U.
S. to study, nor the Auditorium Sugar
School, the best of its kind in the
States and at which a large number
of students from foreign countries are
studying sugar chemistry. Thus, after
spending two hours in Baton Rouge;
we felt we were in the midst of the
place where there are the best auto-
mobile crashes, the ideal uniforms, and
the best toothaches In the world!
On the way to the stadium, we
passed through the arch under the
lighted Campanile tower which con-
tains on bronze tablets, the sailor and
soldier heroes of L. S. U. We saun-
tered on over to the stadium which
has a capacity of 30,000 and is one of
the largest in the south if not the
tallest with its new additions. At the
W« passed many pajama clad
en with shaved heads—just an
old sophomore tradition, we were told.
|he few minutes before the game
started were spent In Informing us
that La. State has about the largest of
student employees in all he 48 states,
working in the dairy, lab., and on the
farm as a means of going through col-
lege. '
The first two years, boys are re-
quired to take military training and
sports, at which the outstanding are
given medals. Coaches observe the
winners and the varsity Is mostly se-
lected in this manner. There is a new
football practice field of three miles
square and the players practically
"eat and sleep football" so to speak
since they live on the second floor of
the field house and have a special
training table in the mess hall.
We won't mention the game except
to say that the Owl team displayed
the "blue and gray" spirit; fighting
hard all the way and by their refusal
to yield in*Hhe shadows of their goal.
After the half, Becky Beck, T, S. U.
girl yell leader, and her retinue came
over to the Rice side to give our root-
ers an exhibition. The girls struck a
Jean Harlow pose from the waist up
and a Mae West from the waist down
when they wiggled north, south, east,
and west . . . and made the boys for-
get all about economist and disarma-
ment. We regretted not being able
to see the Irreoressible Huev but oer~
j :-T7*re-; • ! ! i ; .
haps his little act last year on the Rice
field more than made up for the de-
ficiency. '■! ■ |«1 H gj
After the game, we; drove towards
town with a last look jit Ute 7400 acre
campus which it is hard to believe was
once devoted to cotton and corn. Our
group drove around the capital and
were informed that trie forty-eight
broad steps leading to the entrance
represent each state In the Union. On
the inside of the building are bronze
-
plaques of each of the Louisiana Gov-
ernors. Long was asked why he did
not save room for the plaques of fu-
ture governors of the State to go down
in history and the great Huey replied,
"After Long, no history!" An eleva-
tor goes as fer as the thirty-third story
of the tower but from there to the

THE FINEST
TOBACCOS
THE FIXEST WORKMANSHIP
These days, smokers pay more
attention to their cigarettes.
Naturally they're talking about
the way Luckies are made.
Alwaysso round, so firm and fully
packed. Brimful of the choicest
Turkish and Domestic tobaccos—
without loose ends. That's why
Luckies draw easily, burn evenly
and are so mild —so smooth.
