Student Undergoes Spine Operation
Mattie Pugh, ed'41, underwent a spinal operation yesterday at Watkins Memorial hospital, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the health service, announced.
Miss Pugh's spine was injured in a motor car accident during the Christmas holidays. Doctor Canutson said, and she has been wearing a brace since. However, the brace was not satisfactory, and the operation was recommended.
"The operation is one of the most delicate ever performed at the hospital," the health director continued," because it involved a bone graft on the spine."
Interracial Groups to Meet
The patient's condition is satisfactory, Doctor Cautones said.
The interracial groups of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. will meet at 7:30 tomorrow night at Henley house. The guest speaker will be the principal of a Negro high school in Kansas City, Kan.
Has Novel Idea for Finding Job Ad Student Sells Himself
George Eschbaugh, a graduate from the department of design this year, is one of those men who relies on his own ability to get a job.
Just nine days ago, George sent his first picture-post cards to 54 advertising agencies over the country, asking for work in writing. Since then, he has had 17 replies.
The novel idea consists of sending a post card to an advertiser for five consecutive weeks. "This keeps the agency thinking of me all the time," says Eschbaugh, "rather than seeing just another request for a job." On the last of the series, he gives his address, and a stamped, self-udressed envelope in a French folder. He calls it a "teaser campaign."
The results have produced one novelty so far. Eschbaugh received an answer from one firm before they knew his address. They looked up the post mark and sent him a reply marked, "George Eschbaugh, Lawrence, Kansas." The company did not have an opening, but they referred him to another that did and he is to hear from them today.
When Eschbaugh walks into the offices where he has been requested to come for an interview, he is often greeted by a secretary's: "Oh yes, you're the one that sends us those post cards." George says the secretaries recognize him because he keeps them posted each week.

FLIES WORLD'S FASTEST PLANE!
TEST PILOT HOMER BERRY LIKES ALL THE SPEED HE CAN GET IN A PLANE, BUT HE LIKES HIS SMOKING S-L-O-W! SLOWER-BURNING CAMELS ARE HIS CIGARETTE
"FASTEST PLANE off the production line today!" That's how Homer Berry describes the amazing new Bell Airacobra. This veteran test pilot started flying in 1913 ... started smoking Camels the same year. "No other cigarette ever gave me anything like the pleasure of a Camel," he says. "They burn slower, smoke milder and cooler. In 26 years, that slower burning has given me a lot of extra smoking." Try Camels. Enjoy Camel's slower-burning costlier tobacco. Penny for penny your best cigarette buy!
TEST PILOT HOMER BERRY SAYS:
"No fast burning for me in my cigarette. I've smoked Camels ever since there have been any Camels. They burn slower and give me more pleasure per puff and more puffs per pack. 'I'd walk a mile for a slow-burning Camel!' "
In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-selling brands tested—slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to
5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK!
MORE PLEASURE PER PUFF
...MORE PUFFS PER PACK!
