'P: , . - EIGHT Seniors May Buy Lion Coats Today The traditional Lion coats *ill go on sale to seniors from 1 to 5 p.m. today at the Student Union desk in Old Main for 1,1.90 each, Robert Koons, chairman of the Lion coat committee, said yesterday. The tradition of wearing Lion coats started with the wearing of Lion suits in 1926. The senior class innovated the tradition shortly after move-up day had been desig nated* in the spring of 1926. The seniors wished to have some symbol to indicate their class standing and the Lion suits were chosen. Lightweight suits were purchased by nearly all the senior class men for this purpose. The following year the suits were abandoned in favor of coats, and the coeds of the College be gan to participate• in the custom. It became an accepted and com petitive . practice at the College for students to decorate their Lion coats with pin-up girls, auto graphs, slogans, school symbols, etc. The coats, which were a fad at some of the larger schools in the country such as Princeton and Cornell, were an immediate suc cess, and the custom has carried down to today. Today coats will be sold only to seniors who have their matricu lation cards, Koons said. The custom of wearing the Lion coats declined during the war years, according to Koons, and this year's committee is attempt ing to strengthen the custom. Last year's committee, Koons said, did not sell the number of coats that they anticipated. He predicted that this year's sales would be better. . Working with Koons on the committee are Ribert Klingen smith and Charles Coffman.

He didn't - know whether he should "blow"—or just jettison the whole job! But he fathomed the matter when he suddenly realized that cigarette mildness can't be judged in one quick spout! Millions of smokers have found, too, there's a thorough cigarette test! It's the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke on a day-after-day, pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments!
