ETTICOATS
BY BARBARA RICHARDSON
Aciinq Feature Editor
For a moment the Tarleton State
College coed faltered as pile stood
on the steps of the Girls'. Dormi-
tory. . \
• The cold gray mist was sway-
ing; slightly about her with the
movement of' the curiously gentle
March wind. Through the mist
■wnich Carrie:-! sound so well came
tr.e footfall of another person who
v/ould be running if the tempo of
his footfall was not* deceiving*.
For Whom the Bell, Rings
Grfilially, the coed drew her
books closer to her and began run-
ning toward the Administration
Building's dimly outlined hulk. As
she entered the east doors, a bell
rant*.
He^ heart thumped heavily and
swiftly with the effects of the sud-
den running exercise and anxiety
win that bell the 7:59 or 8 p.m.
bell?
The coed ran up three flights of
Stairs, down the hall, and through
a' class room door. Another bell
rang declaring that she had made
It to class on time by only a frac-
tion of time.
Just Another Day
The professor gave her a look
that wasn.'t exactly the most pleas-
ed one she had ever received and
began checking the roll.
Another day had begun.
Do you go to the Monday night
dances? Between '6:30 and 8 p.m.
A great many TSC students wan-
der 1 over to the Rec Hall and
dance or just watch other students
dance. The Student Council spon-
sors these dances. Do come Mon-
day night; it oiily costs a dime,
Shamrock Dance
The OWLS and Silver Keys aw
sponsoring a St. Patrick's Sham-
rock Dance March 16. The dance
wil be held in the Bee Hall from
S-liJ p.m. and admission will be $1
couple or stag.
Congratulations to the - fresh-
man and senior basketball teams.
As a senior, this author was ex-
tremely pleased with the scoj-e,
50-54, but does have to admit that
it wan very close . . . almost too
close.
Cups" vs. Bottles
Are cokes in the bottles really
becoming obsolete and relics of
the past ? If the coke in the paper
cup is here to stay, there are cer-
tainly going to be many dissatis-
fied people around.
Whe the coke machine — bottle
machine that is — was removed
from the Girls' -Dormitory and re-
placed with the cup cokes, all the
girls who drank cokes were im-
mensely upset. It didn't do any
good to protest though. Perhaps
the cokes in cups are scientific pro-
gress and no one is supposed to
hinder that no matter how much
they dislike it.
