The -Wainwright Rifles carry
oil the proud name of an outstand-
ing army officer, General Jonathan
^M. Wainwright.
The Wainwright Rifles are a
precision drill team that shows
. outstanding skill in their perfor-
f nmnces. The "rifles" are composed
..of members of the ROTC who are
not on probation of any kind.
Prior to April 13, 1949, Tarle-
lon had a drill team called the
* "Crack ' 'Company." However, "on
- that date, GeneralJonathan M.
'.Wainwright granted . the Tarleton
! Cadet Corps permission . to use

« ed 'to the Philippines, he had been

CAMPUS
QUESTION
What do you think of the ratio,
three to one, between the boys and
girls on campus ?
SAM, DIXON: For the girls it's
great; for the boys it's not sc
great; but if you're lucky enough
to iiave a girl, especially one
you're going steady with, it'-i
great!
TOMMY GAFFORD: It's mur-
der! !!
LINDA McDONALD: I .would-
n't want to- be stuck-on a desert
Island without them.
RONNIE PRICE: It's better
than three, to nothing!!
RAYMOND SUANCINA: Our
main reason for being' here is edu-
cation, and, everything else is sec-
ondary, although-girls play a very
important part on campus.
JOHNNY FINDEISON: It could
sure be improved.
LaDONNA JOHNSON: The ra-
tio ■ doesn't make any difference
because most of the boys won't
ask girls for dates anyway. Fresh-
man boys seem afraid of the up-
perclassmau girls, but they should-
n't be,
SPEEDY TIEMANN: I think
it's TERRIBLE!!!!
GKOFFREY HOLLADAY: Sta-
tistics here are meaningless, bur
it isn't a particularly good ratio.
. RENEE DYESS: It's a very in-
teresting situation, . and it may
prove beneficial to the girls before
the year is over.
BILL V AND A VTE-lt: I like com-
petition!'
"•Where is it?" This was the
plea of Donald Jones last week
when he . came out of his house
only ,to find-tiutt his car was gone.
Where was it? You guessed it.
It had been stolen. Jones, Pre-
Law major from Stephenville, said
that the first thing that entered
his mind was that his girl or oih
of his friends had borrowed it for
one reason or another.
One whole day of. worrying,
searching, and calling produced
the car in Coleman, Texas, where
the thieves had abandoned it, The.
car was in good, shape except for
a slight paint job the thugs gave
it with green paint, which clashed
somewhat with the color it ori-
ginally had.
The Freshman class . favoril?
runner-up last year, Silver Key
officer, and Wainwright member
had just begun to have his share
of trouble.
"When it rains, it pours." was
Jones's comment when asked
about his wreck just a couple ef
. days after he had gotten his ca)
back.
Who did he run into? Mrs. Hov-
ey, D^an of Women at Tarleton,
that's who lie ran into. Traveling
down Washington Street in front
of Junior High, Mrs. Hovey turn-
ed in front of Jones juast as he
took his eyes off the road. His car
was torn up and cost him what h;;
termed as a small fortune.
Neither Mrs. Hovey, Jones, or
Mrs. Hovey's car was injured. The
total expense for the repair of
Mrs. Hovey's car was eight dol-
lars and some odd cents.
"How much will it cost to have
your car fixed, Donald?"
"Man, I' mafraid to ask any-
one."
Jones has left this word of
caution to everyone that owns or
drives a car. Do not leave your
keys in the ignition, and when yon
are driving don't take your eyes
off the road.
That is not all that fate's un-
: rit
£
I
kind hand has dealt Jones. Hi«
dog has a ring-worm. "Big deal,"
you say. Then you don't know
Jones or hisj dog. Apache Tallis-
man, Jones' dog, is a full blocl
registered beag'Ie. Apache's moth-
er was named M. G. Sandy Ann
and his father's handle was Apa-
ehe Joe IX. Sou you can see his
concern when anything happens
to his friend Apache.
Good luck, ol' buddy, we ere
pulling- for you.
