• The Speech Department' has1 been
echoing with sounds very1 similar
to some committee meeting ,in Con-
gress. Under, the supervisiop-'of
Miss Lillie VK Lillard, head; of the
department, the speech classed have
been conducting debates, open f or-
i;it(Ls, ^nd.panel discussions on such
timely questions as the advisability,
of drafting women for military
service and the., advisability of one>
year of full time military training
for. ail. boys before becoming twe'ri-'
tyvone, after the close of the war.
As one would imagine, the dis-
cussions ,became quite, heated. In
Speech 302-2, the speakers contest-
ing most vigorously were Ellis Ba-
ker, Milton Gardner, EJIeanor Weir,
Virginia Ferguson and Jack Moore;

■All regular' college apd high
school curricula at,John Tarleton
Agricultural Cpllege' will be main-
tained -during the summer trimes-
ter, which begins -Mpudayi May
31, 1943, according to a statement
issued by J. Thomas Davis, Dean
of the, college, today. " t\
1 ''Since June~l, 1942,said D'eah
Davis, "the college has been1, on a
wartime, year-round schedule, with
three full semesters of work being
offered per calendar year,'permit-
ting studeijts to accelerate,' their
training by .fifty "percent. TJie' ac-
celerated program, has proved very
^uccessfu^ during it's'first year of*
operation, and this . plan will be
continued for the* duration." ,
1 All facilities of t^ie college will,
be jin operation, not only, this sum-
mer*, but-for succeeding semesters.
"The, curricula of John Tarleton/'
pointed^ outj Dean Davis, '^embrace
jus^ about every course offered in
the first two years of college work,
including' divisions of agriculture,
engineering, liberal arts; fine arts,-,
and' military science and, tactics.
In addition- to the, tw;o/ years 1 of
coljege work offered, John Tarle-
top, offers tlie last two years of
high school work, with a well
rounded, fully-credited high .school
curriculum. AH boys in, the high
school division have the added ad-
vantage of military .training,"
Dean'Davis stated, "Virtually all
o£,the regular activities of the col-
Jeg^bear directly on theswar e^r
fortf, training young men and wo-
men' fpr specific and "general par-
ticipation in wart work. Oyr mili-
tary department, which'has consls-,
tently been awarded the ^oveted
"Excellent" rating by the,War Be-'
partment, haa trained and equipped
hundreds of boys with a, thoroughly
grounded basic military - back -
ground. It is known that a't* least
2,500 of the boys are now, in the
armed services, hundreds of whom
are . commissioned officers - with
ratings as high as, Kentenant col-
onel in the arrmy and lieutenant
cpmmander in the navy; Majiy'oth-,
er Tarleton trained boys and,girls
are also serving in th$ w£r ^efforts,
particularly in ,thp fields of engin-
eering and business administra-,
tion. These two divisions of Tarle-
ton ar.et exceptionally well equipped
to provide "technical -training re-
quired for qualifications for many
war jobs. ' , :
This summer special emphasis
will be placed on high school work
in anticipation of the demand for
such' training, from" students who
find it expedient to accelerate their
high school training. .High, school
courses to ,be offered have been
carefully planned, and special pro-
visions are being'made for faculty
supervision and guidance of high
school students.

'If ^ny of you are in the-hahit
of chewing ty>bacco, Mr. Bland,
woulc^ advise you throw it away
before ;you^ go. in to talk to Dean
Davis. He k once made the sad mis-
take of forgetting to do so. Dean
Davis called. Mr. Bland into his of-
fice one day to have ,a; talk with
him. Mr. Bland intended to throw
his tobacco away as usual before
going in, but he forgot 'it. While
the Dean had him "on the carpet,"
Mr. Bland swallowed so much, to-
bacco juice that it made him sick.
He has never chewed tobacco since
then. After about' 15 years/ Mr.
Bland finally admitted' to Dean
Davis the reason for his quitting
chewing. , , 1
Mr. Bland, has been the chief
engineer here at Tarleton since
1917 when .Tarleton was first 'or-
ganized. He is heat, light, and wa-
ter engineer and was oh duty be-
fore the power1 plant'was built' in
1920. • : ^
Because he is over age," Mr. Bland
is on the partially retired list and
is only required to work Ij^lf time,
but due to his loyalty he c(pes infore
than the required amount, He has
been 'chief, engineer for 26 ye^rs,
Mr. Eminent' is £is'success'or. •
- In 1891', before he came to Tex-
as^J^-Blan# "helped tp build tjie
first' railroa.d bridge across the
Mississippi, river.- He laid the first
Water, main here'at Tarleton, ran
the first electric line, and set the"
first boiler and:its pipelines. At
that time : there' were only two
buildings here. He has seen the
student body growvfrom 118 to as
high at 14j}0. r" , . '
Since 1939,- Mr. Bland has kepi a
log book in which/he has kept1 a
list of all faulty, members and the
hot an£ cold days 'and ^vhen they
occuri'ed,1 among other things.
