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.

Campus Interviews on Cigaretteiets
No. 40...
THE
WHALE
_:-
Poor guy was submerged in a veritable sea of
cigarette tests! 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! Once
you've tried Camels in your "T
-Zone"
(T for Throat, T for 'Taste), you'll see why . . .
