Foremen Preferred
Because \of a typographical
error in viast, week's J-Tac the
word ""fireman" was' used -in-
stead of "foreman.".
. The. * election of ramp fore-
men at;a„ meeting of 'the occu-
pants pf .Dpvis' Hall .'.on Sep-
tember/24. was run as the elec-
tion of -"yamp ' fireman/' Ac-
cording to ."Webster's,"' the
elected ramp officers would
more .or: less be doing the -op-
posite .of 'their. duties, Excite-
ment "v^ould be. high with four
"firemen" in' charge'.- of the
"dump," and there would not
much of the order which is
expected ^ from a "foreman."
'A- fireman may'either "be one
who. puts out fires or feeds
fires. Take the definition you
prefer; aiid., if' the.: fire - siren
blows, don't jump. Perhaps-the
"ramp firemen" will be ..busy,,
justifying, either^.the 'definition;
which you .picked or - the one-
picked by your neighbor. «\ f-

Versatile Student Prefets Tarleton, and
Hopes Someday to Own and Fly a Plane
Not all N.T.A.C. students are
dumb. At least one of them is not.
Ruth Woods from Dallas knows a
good thing when she sees it. Com-
ing through Stephenville a few
years - ago, she visited Tarleton
and was greatly impressed by the
campus, 'When she was. visiting
on the campus again last sum-
mer, she decided to attend school
here this fall for several reasons.
Besides liking the campus; she al-
liked the students and their
warm friendliness.'Several friends
of hers were here, and she want-
ed to be away from home.
There are many wide differen-
ces between N.T.A.C. and Tarle-
ton—a fact n,ot' at all strange.
Ruth ^ays, "N.T.A.C. is a good
school, "and Fm not running it
down." But she says that the- stu-
dents are not so friendly there as
they are here; neither is the cam-
pus as pretty. "There's ' not muoh-
point in beautifying the campus
, because no. one' ever sees it."
Ninety per cent of the students
are from Dallas and Fort Worth"
and drive back and forth. Then she
iays that N.T<A,C. doesn't have
the' dormitory facilities that Tar-
letpn ha? because, so many pf the
students'do live in th£ cities,-Ruth
thinks that-this'is a definite dis-
advantage' for any school since
campus life- -draws the student
body closer together and dormi-
tory life is the. biggest. part of
campus life.
Gets What She Wants at Tarleton
She,is pleased with her courses.
"I got exactly what I' wanted;
that's more than I can do at oth-
er. schools," Nevertheless, she is
leaving Tarleton for Texas Tech
at mid-term because she will have
completed by that time . all" of the
speech Courses which she can take
here. Her major is public speak-
ing, Station WFAA. has promised
to have a position ready for her
at the end of the spring semester'
in some field of radio which will
lead to her future life's 'work, Her
one professional ambition is to be
a radio script writer. *
There is another ambition, which
she • hopes to realize: owning a
ranch; Her dream ambition has
to do with planes and flying.
Someday she wants Fate to let
her advance to be a licensed pilot,
and to Jet her have a pjane of, her
own and a field ^on her ranch where
she can land it. Alreadv, she .can.
fly, having had a year, and a half
of experience She learned at the
Airport which/is'affiliated with the.
C.A.A.' course at NXA.C.—Lou
Foote Airport at Grand Prairie.
Gives Likes and Dislikes
. Ruth likes sport clothes, pe9ple
who will tell about themselves,
anything extreme like blue-eyed
brunettes' and brown-eyed blonds^
and all sports. She particularly
likes horseback riding and swim-
ming. In the past she entered sev-
eral.of the city diving meets held
in Dallas; Wha^ she.-hates most
is' being talked to in. the morning
when\she fiist awakes.,
. Other sidelines of ' her - life ' are
;ijpr two hobbies of collecting rec-
ords 1 and ' studying . people. She
snatches any and .every :kind, of
record ,sh"6 .'can collect> but espe-
cially "swing.'* IJer favorite swing
records, are .those by Tommy and
Jimmy c Dojrsey * and . Raymond
Scott. The'tmusic doesn't go to
was\$f either, for she loves • to
dance. She /favors "jitterbugging."
Her interest in people is for the
purpose of finding,out "what makes
people^do-.what they-do and when
ci.why-." • -V.-..: ■■ -"V '

Monday has been selected as the ,
day for the nomination of sppns- • •.
ors for the cadet corps. One rejji--
mental sponsor, two battalion,
sponsors, and seven company spon-
sors are. to befchosen," M&jor Mann
has made a change from last year's
'organization of;sponsors? he will--:
have the ten just mentioned instead :V; ■/*. f
of eight which were used last-yeaAV'^/
-The=two-new sponsors^are'the^'bat^' | >!'

the sponsor, to be the spojisbi* of1 .;
the whole company, that is, 'Ot.;'
every m^n in the company, instead •
of just the captain's sP^nsoz'TT", :
He has also made a, change in
the nomination' of ^sponsQrs. Last
year the freshmen were allowed to "
vote; this year 'only ^the^seniora.
will vote.foV sponsors, for these ." '.
reasons: the seniors know the' ones '
who are to be .voted upon and the
freshmen usually do not; and the
smaller the group, the more §ecret -
the nominations "will be kept, and !.'
this way no nominees will lie
embarrassed. These nominations go
to the registrar's office {ox. approv-
al; and after "they jare>rapproved,
they will be submitted t.o a vpte.:
Nothing will be known of the re? •
suit until it is officially reported
by the F.M.S.^T, /
Major Mann believes that i^ili- v
tary courtesy, discipline, and uni-.
forjn regulations are,,very essential
to a good cadet corps, arid he es>
pects every cadet to conform to.the
rules set forth-in the manual and;
on the bulletin board. He is work-
ing very hard to prepare the sched-
ule and organization of the cadet 4
corps; therefore, it 'is. nothing' but
fair that every man'get behind ,
him, build.up a fine spirit, and.
turn out one of ( the finest. cadet
corps that J. 'T. A. C. has ever
known, 1
