TWO CAN LIVE AS CHEESILY AS ONE Now in the final months of the school year, one thing is certain: you and your roommate are not speaking. But it is not too late to patch things up. Examine the rift calmly. Search your soul with patience. Perhaps the fault is yours. Perhaps you are guilty of violating some of the basic rules of roommate etiquette. For instance, in decorating your room, have you forced your preferences on your roommate without re gard to his or her tastes? This is a common cause of friction. Indeed, it once happened to me back in my fresh• man year when I was sharing a room with a boy named Rimsky Sigafoos who covered every inch of our wall with 850 pictures of James Dean. "Rimsky," I said to him in gentle reproof, "please don't think me unduly. but I had hoped to put a picture of my fiancee Mary Beth Thermidor on the wall." Rimsky examined the picture of my fiancée Mary Beth Thermidor. "You're kidding, of course," he said and dropped the picture in the wastebasket. Well, that got my dander up, and I was mad as a wet hen till Rimsky gave me a Philip Morris Cigarette. As we all know, there is nothing like a mild, natural, Philip Morris. Treats a man right. No filter, no foolin'l Anger melts and frowns become smiles with Philip Morris, all seems right in the world, and no man's hand is turned against you, nor yours against any man. So, puffing a pacifying Philip Morris, I forgot all about Rimsky's slight to Mary Beth Thermidor. In fact, with her picture out of sight, I soon forgot all about Mary Beth Thermidor, too, and one night at the Fresh man Frolic, spying a round young coed over in a corner, I came up to her and said with a fetching leer, "Excuse me, miss. We don't know each other, but I would like to rectify that sad omission." And she said, "Oh, you horrid, horrid youth! I am your fiancée Mary Beth Thermidor." With that she stomped furiously away, and though I tried to win her back with Philip Morrises, she was beyond recall. I, utterly shattered, signed on as s cabin boy with the Cunard Line and am today, aged 53, the oldest cabin boy on the North Atlantic run. But I digress. We were talking about roommate eti- quette. Let us turn now to the matter of share and share alike. Have you shared everything equally? Drawer space? Closet space? Study space? And here's one that often causes trouble hobby space. S 7 lett ‘iitecsizsy When, for example, I roomed with Rimsky Sigafoos, my hobby was stamp collecting. I did not take up much room. All I needed was a small corner for my stamps, my album, my magnifying glass, and my tongue. Rimsky, on the other hand, was by hobby a cat burglar. Hardly a night went by when he didn't burgle twenty or thirty cats. You can imagine how crowded our little room used to get ! Many's the time I got so exasperated that it took two or three rich, natural Philip Morrises to restore my native sweetness. O Max Shulman. 1031 We, the makers of Philip Morris and sponsors of this column. know that you and your roommate are getting along just fine. But if you ever do hams a little tiff, don't try a peace pipe. Try a good, natural smoke—Philip Morris! Service and Sales • Radios •Car Radios • Phonographs •TV Sets 010 State College TV 232 S.
