Give 'Em Blood
Few students have time to occupy their
minds with thoughts of the bitter struggle in
Korea.
■ Perhaps some of the cadets may flutter an
idle moment away by wondering when he will
have to join the ranks, but' it is necessary that
students and citizens alike realize the great
danger in Korea, To imagine the loss of human
life and limb that comprises war is something
that Americans must give more than just,
an idle thought to.
In the dangerous course of events many
soldiers are doomed to receive serious injuries.
That's where the home front part comes into
the picture. . .
Those fellows with'grime smeared faces and
haggard expressions have no hope except the
life giving plasma contributed by patriotic
citizens.
A drive for blood is in operation at the
present. The members of this organization
have plead wearily for more and more blood
for our fighting men.
How small a contribution w# make com-
pared to the sacrifice that the soldiers arc
making.to protect and insure our freedom and
security.
Mutual Cooperation
The spirit of co-operation between Ar-
lington State College and Tarleton State
College was certainly bolstered by the
sportsmanship shown by fans and team at
Wednesday night's game.
Competition is the spice of life, and the
long rivalry between the schools has served
well to give publicity to both.
In the past, however, this patriotic en-
thusiasm has reached beyond bounds of rea-
son,' It is then that such instances as
guarding the campus, burning bonfires, and
snatching caps and brass have come to
light.
Certainly, this rivalry was agitated by the
incident of the plane that was knocked down
in Hunewell Park by an over anxious stu-
dent who "chunked" a stick into the pro-
peller. - •
College prank?-.
Again the question arises—Arlington
and Tarleton are almost alike. They work
together for mutual g'ood. They are both
branches of the A&M system. Both "offer
military training. The most prevalent fac-
tor in their similarity is that they are the
only two colleges in Texas that are slate
supported. Why the "Feud?"
The students of both colleges are in debt
to the other. In spite of the fact that the
Arlington city slickers consider Tarleton as
their country cousin, the students of Tar-
leton have contributed to good will by con-
ducting "good-will" tours and showing a
more cordial attitude toward Arlington visi-
tors.

PARLOR FUN—Relaxing in the Girl's Parlor with a
friendly game of dominoes are Cadet Colonel Oren Ellis,
Barbara McDaniel, Lieutenant Colonel Everette Aber-
nathy, and Jane Underwood. Such pursuits are typical of
the activicty which goes on in the new parlor of the
Girls' Dormitory, a gathering place for maijy Tarleton
students. (Pix by Bax).
Weary Students
Rel ax In Parlor
After twilight's purple hues be-
gin to reflect the cheerfulness of
lighted windows, weary lads and
lasses turn from the day's toil in
the regions commanded by books
of knowledge.
With relief they look forward to
an evening of relaxation.
The attractive girl's, parlor then
becomes the center of a gala cele-
bration, the scene of a serious
study session, or the background
for sentimental, but • soothing,
music.
The neatness of the parlor pro-
vides a "homey" background for
the enjoyment of the students.
A few familiar scenes that close
the day—A group beside the piano
listening' intensely to the beafity
of some melody from the hands of
the masters" are Jean Shannon's
audience.

Naida Gordon breezes through,
exercising her fine voice to the

But aside from the music there
is the sound of shuffling cards,
the scraping of dominos, and the
pleasant patter of so many voices.

Methodists En joy-
Ranch Style Picnic
Wesley Foundation members en-
joyed themselves last Friday
night at what was orginally sup-
posed to be a hayride to the J. A,
English Ranch, However, the
truck chartered for the occasion
tailed to show up, the group went
m cars, and the occasion turned
out to be a picnic after all.
This didn't dampen the spirits
any though, for the party was
well attended. Around 25 stu-
dents attended in all, and every-
one had an enjoyable time. Rev.
Richard Clemans, Director ,of the
Methodist Student Center, and his
family accompanied the group.
Weiners and ginger ale were
served as refreshments, and sev-
eral games were played after
eating..At 9:30 p. m. the picnicers,
tired but happy, arrived back
from the excusion.
High School Seniors
Are Honored with Tea
Approximately 75 senior girls
from Dublin, De Leon, and Ste-
phenville High Schools attended
a tea given in their honor by the
Tarleton Campus Club in the
gill's dorm.
After. registering, the visiting
girls were taken on a tour of the
dormitory rooms by Tarleton girls
who live in the dormitory.
The members of the Townsters
club served refreshments consist-
ing of punch, tea sandwiches,
olives, and cookies.
POINT OF VIEW
By WILLIAM HOUSE
One of .the most surprising campus trends
that has been, brought cq, my attention recent-,
ly, is that one concerned with the 'increasing
number of personal articles including' cloth-
ing, books, money, and other valuables which
have been disappearing at an alarming rate.
[ had thought before that approximately all'
Tarleton students 'were as honest as the day
is long, with no intentions of taking the per-
sonal property of others for their own use.
Evidently I was mistaken for every day,
students are complaining of stolen, lost, or
missing articles which have been vanishing
into thin air for no apparent reason. It has
reached the point to where a student cannot
safely set his books down in the Rec Hall '
for fear that it will be gone when he fin-
ishes eating.
You say that such a situation is hardly
possible on our own campus where every
student .knows every other student and trust
each other almost as far as they can see. But
the fact of the matter is that stealing or "swip-
ing" is definitely on the upsurge and threat-
ens to get out of hand if corrective measures
are not taken immediately. Personally, I can
hardly see how any person can stoop so low
as to take from others that which does not
belong to him. But perhaps I am too trusting.
Actually it is not the evaluation of the
stolen objects that matters in the long run;
the real significance can be found in the fact
that it damages the character of the person
performing such actions in ways that he ap-
parently does not realize or understand. It is
very degrading for anyone to come into pos-
session of something to which he has no right,
not having obtained it in a manner which we
consider proper in our society.
I consider it a disgrace to the student
body of Tarleton that a cadet cannot leave
his field jacket or overcoat hanging in some
building and expect to find it there when
he returns. Have we all turned into thieves
and robbers so quickly after adjusting our-
selves to colege life? Is a plague of whole- .
sale swiping and stealing looming inevita-
bly over our campus?
I think not, if we fate the hard, cold facts
of the problem. But it could easily turn into
such conditions if the present movement is
not slowed down and halted eventually. Per-
haps the student body as a whole may, be
more responsible for situations of this kind
than it realizes.
The solution lies, in my estimation, in the-
attitude of all students concerned. It we wish
to stamp out the evils of stealing and taking
the property of others, we must take decisive
action ourselves. Many may feel that it. is the
duty of the administrative officials of the
college as well as the other faculty members
to eliminate such practices. But their hands
are tied without your cooperation, and they
can do but little unless you decide to take
some action on your own part.
Enough pressure must be put on the
wrongdoers by the rest of the Student Body
to make it much harder for them to com-
mitt these acts. Student opinion can be di-
rected against the minority group in such
cases in such a way that no one will wish
to incur the iU will of his neighbors and
friends by stealing personal property.
- The problem is difficult but it can. be solved
if everyone is willing to cooperate and work
together. A coordinated effort will be neces-
sary to eliminate the nuisance of stealing and
swiping of articles from ckir campus. Even
the smartest, villains cannot hope to continue
their' evil ways if the students take a strong
enough stand in the matter and force some
positive action to be taken.
So there you have the problem as stated in
its entireity. As for the solution, that will be
left to you to decide, I sincerely hope that you
will make the right decision.
