THE J-TAC
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1981
Campus Carousel
By LaDONNA JOHNSON
A recent article in the J-Tac
caused quite a stir on the Tarleton
campus. Sneakers were the target
of last week's BOX 337. They are
a fad 1 want to defend.
• Every decade gives birth to a'
new fad. Some have been good,
"borrowing" books. The library is
a place to study in peace and quiet
and not a place for idle conversa-
tion. -
"Rush Week" at TSC is sche-
,«*. !>«.. ,, duled for October 9-14. This is the
some not so good. The 2Q's gave ! big week when the sociai clubs

meaning to the words "turned up
nose, turned down hose, a flapper
:is one ;of those";, in the 30's,
the "vamp" was the girl who made
men's pulses race; the 4Q's saw
evoijy girl trying to be that "girl
back home"; and the 60's did not
see much of the girls because they
were hidden under the t.ack dress.
Now the (JO's are here and what
will they be remembered for? Will
it be the casual look of sneakers
and knee-tickler skirts and ber-
ftuda shorts?
" There are many arguments in
favor of the sneaker fad. The best
defense is that when you are walk-
ing down the halls, you are seldom
heard. And what professor likes to
have his class "goggle-eyed" .try-'
ing to see who just passed the
floor? Persons wearing shoes with
hard soles give warning of their
presence from the moment they
reach the top of the stairs.
Sneakers, to my way of think-
ing, are just as collegiate as the
wearing of the traditional skirt-
sweater ensemble.
"Thank heaven for little sneak-
ers," is the prayer that coeds often
mutter.
Tarleton has a beautiful and
fine library. Do not lose your right
to use the library by destroyin gov
choose their new members for the
coming1 year. Many high schools
have lio such clubs, so this will
prove a new experience for many
freshmen.
The social clubs on campus are
the Silver Keys and their sister
club, the OWLS; the Lords and
Commoners, their sister club,
Cornonas; and the Sine Cera, wom-
en's social club.
Debate Club
To Organize
Tonight-at 7:30
The T.S.C. Debate Club will
meet tonight at 7:35 in the Science
Building, it was announced last
week by Dr. O. A. Grant, club
sponsor, The :purpose of. tonight's
meeting will be to reorganize the
club after the Summer's inactivity.
Also,. club officers will be elected
from the returning members, and
plans will be made for the accept-
ance of new members.
. Bill Henderson, a club officer
last year, says, "the Debate Club
will fit perfectly into the four-year,
plan at Tarleton and should grow
as T.S.C. grows," , . . . . .
Tonight's meeting is to be of
great importance. All returning
members ars urged to attend.

:that has been picked up by Co- ^ t
eds in most of the colleges across
the; United States.* The question
for this week is are "sneakers"
suitable for the classroom?
KAREN THOMAS: "Sneakers
are a new fad that is taking hold
like Burmuda shorts or Iloola
Hoops. Since TSC is now a four
iyeur school, the students will na-
turally follow the fads of the larg-
er schools."
FREDDY MCNURLEN: "What's
wrong with girls wearing Tennis
'shoes? I think they look "cool,"
;. RE'NEE DYESS: "I think they
look' perfectly all right. They are
very collegiate looking. Walking
'down the hallowed halls, they are
much quieter than are hard soled
loafers."
LEA PEIRCE: "Nothing is
more collegiate looking than
/sneakers) People in the , larger,
^schools all wear them. Why, even
in Virginia they are really popular
with the college set."
LARRY ELAM; "I think they
are fine.-They are a college fad
and real cute on: girls."
CANDY BIBBY: "I think they
are wonderful: They are very com-
fortable"
' CAROLYN HERDMAN: "They
make your feet look much smaller
and they can be washed often
when they begin to: take on an
odor."
, ELAINE GRESHAM: "With, all
the colors and kinds of sneakers
that are made now,! they can be
matched with. your' dresses. They
are inexpensive and I think very
attractive."
BILL HENDERSON: "I think
the girls should buy out the stores
pnd wear them every day. Especi-
ally the, plaid, striped, and polka
flot."
MOLLY TAYLOR: "I see noth-
ing wrong with tennis shoes! In
the Eastern Colleges,- the dirtier
tennis shoes are, the better. The
kids at Tarleton at least keep
thelr's clean.

Lauds Tarleton
According to Mrs. Hovey, Tarle-
ton State College is a wonderful
school with a great faculty, good
courses, and a well-known repu-
tation. She sees an even great
er future for Tarleton as a senior
college. :
Mrs. Hovey has asked that the
J-Tac express her praise to the
girls foi^ their outstanding cooper-
ation and contributions in helping
her maintain a companionable and
friendly atmosphere in the dorm.
Through the excellent work of
Mrs. Mitchell, Molly Taylor, dorm
president; and all the floor coun-
selors life in the dorm is at its
best. Mrs, Hovey said that it has
been a great challenge for the
girls to' learn to live under the
same roof in such crowded condi-
tions, but they have all succeeded
in meeting this challenge head-on.
Working On Doctorate
Beginning her undergraduate
work at North Texas University
Mrs. Hovey went on to Columbia
University where she received her
masters degree in education. She
has done additional work- at New
York University and Texas Wom-
en's University. She is now com-
pleting work toward her doctorate.
American; tourists who recall

able for those who may wish to
finance their tour.
While in college she became a
member of many honor societies.
Among her-outside interests, which
she rarely has time for, is a great
love of the outdoors.-. She enjoys
golfing and riding. Also, she likes
to travel, read and listen to music.
