EDITORIALS
A Step Forward
In reply to last week's editorial asking for
additional parking area, President E, J. How-
ell announces that plana are currently being
made for such arrangements,
n "As soon as the journalism-band building,
"the shack", can be vacated and the building
is moved, this area will become a new stu-
dent-teacher parking lot," the college presi-
dent stated.
Although we, the class of '58, will be gone
by the time these plaits become a reality, we
realize it is being done for the betterment of
Tarleton State College. — RP. • .
Why Not Attend?
Religious Education .Week officially starts
■today, aitd as always there will be the prob-
lem of getting students to attend the 'pro-'
grams. Many peope regard this'week as.a'scfrt
of vacation and a time of shorter classes. '■
. Of Course students'do 'not have.to'attenfi
the programs planned for RE Week, but the}
should certainly feel under obligation. The
student owes, it to himself to attend, for
certainly religion shoud play an important
part in the life of the college student.
Measures could be taken to make attend-
ance of the programs compulsory. A roll call
could be taken as one soution. Another solu-
tion woud be to give tests on the speeches de-
livered at each general assembly. However,
neither of these will be carried out. The
choice of whether to attend will be left up
to the student.
-Will you attend the RE programs begin-
ning today? — J. H.
Thanks, Students
The spirit, good-attendance, and interest
of TSC students at the TSC-Cameron basket-
ball game deserves commendation.
The gym was almost filled to capacity, the
band and cheerleaders were present, and the
basketball team, despite their loss, felt that
the school was behind them.
There was no unruly behavior and every-
one who attended left with a feeling't-hat the
game was well worth their time.
Attendance at the Civic Series program
Friday night was alsp above average, even
though the weather was somewhat discourag-
ing.
This proves that students can show a little
interest in school activities if they will only
try.
By doing this, they not only benefit them-
selves, but also back the college too. — LRS
MOVIE SCHEDULE
The life of Martin Luther, a,film spon-
sored by the Lutheran Student Association,
will be shown today, tomorrow, and Thurs-
day at 7:30 p.m. in the Agriculture Audi-
torium.
Admission is free, and the film is being
shown in correlation with Religious Empha-
sis Week at Tarleton State.
"This film is an interesting and bene-
ficial one," says LSA members, "and we
urge all students to see it on one of the
three showings."

LOOKING AT THE CAMPUS
Across My Desk
By LA RAE SWINDLE
I've tome to the striking con-
clusion that the Tarleton, State
College student body is either very
easy to' please or just not very
concerned about a school news-
paper, because we have relatively
few comments (bad or good) from
students themselves after each is-
s'ue;,of the J-TAC.
There ale a few every now and
then' who wonder (during; exam
weeks or weeks following holi-
days) why there's not it J-TAC in
their box on Tuesday morning,
but ordinarily there is not much
comment.
Last week I did have one re-
quest—that we have more jokes
so that the student could keep
himself entertained during his
boring' Tuesday morning classes.
While trying to find some witty
remarks to put in the paper this
week, I happened to stumble onto
some clever definitions and jokes

POETRY
BEHOLD THE DREAMER
By Elizabeth Burttett
He who would climb the heights
of tone
And scale the peaks bbeyond the
listening- ear
Must first falk over water
And learn to stand on air, alone.
He who would swim the waves of
; light ' '' " ' ' ■
And dive past shores into a sunless
glow
Must first merge with his shadow
And melt through solid glass, like
night. 1
Where eyes are fins and sound is
leap
The rhythmic- force .performs its
own ballet.
When dreams are fired in clay
They burn a path through timeless
sleep.
,v
-'S
in my father's latest copy of The
Lion that made me laugh in the
wee hours of the morning' when I
thought nothing- in the world could
phase me:
Procastinator: One who puts off
until tomorrow the things he has
already put off until today.
Never consider yourself 'hope-
less—even the worst of us can
always serve as excellent exam-
ples of "how not to be."
Experience is a wonderful thing.
It enables, you to recognize a mis-
take when you make it again.
It's all right to let your mind
wander occasionally provided yon
don't try to follow it.

By MARY BROWDER
I recently got involved in a discussion for
the settlement of the problem of education
facilities when the mad rush of college stu-
dents hits.
The partieuar suggestion that raised my .
interest was that women not be allowed to
"go to college or at least that only a limited,
screened number be alowed to go. . -
The argument seemed to run that ip that:,
way, time and money which now is, quote,"
.•"wasted"., .unquote, to ,prepare women format';
career which they never enter could' be1 usSct'
to; educate men who would make more use lot"-'
that education.
I'm. not so short sighted that I can't see the _!
point. But the more 1 thought about it the
more disturbed; I . became. .The ■ questions
• -whiich' plagiied m.e: most: persistently: were',:
"Is education simply technical training
for a career?" "Is there no value in an edu-.
cation other than the salary later earned by
the educated?" "In a democracy, whicJi
stands or falls upon the education of the gov-,
erned, can we simply eliminate over half of
these governed?"
But limited numbers of females would be
allowed to attend college, the argument went.
This limited number seemed to be theoretical-
ly women who will go into their field of:
training after the completion of their educa-
tion . , r
An interesting idea. But, Who is going to
decide when a woman applies for entranpe
into an institution of higher learning just'
whether or not that woman won't fall in love
and forget all about the. dreams of'a career
ad decide that the MRS degree is more de-
sirable. I'd like to know his method, whoever
takes the job. • ■ /■>•
But, more important than that, what if
she does.
So, she has four years of college, she is an
educated human being and all she'll evet*
contribute to the world may be qhidren. But
those children are the. future of the country
which has educated their mother. Can we
assume that what these little, Americans
learn from their Mothers' education is un-
important, or can we even take the-.chan.fte
of saying that'simply their association with
an educated person is of no value.
However, it is at least an offered solution,
to a inevitable problem (and we can't kid our-
selves into thinking it's our parents problem,
if it is solved, it is up to us to solve it). May-,
be the girl who comes to school simply to:
catch a husband (I'm admitting nothing!)1:
should be eliminated from the college cans-r
pus. ,
What do you think?
YOUR SUPPORT FOR PROGRESS T
All indications point to the year 1958. asf
