Colleges Urged to
Be Careful About
Training Expansion
Colleges and universities through-
out ,vthe country have -be^n urged
by the American Council on, Educa-
tion to; delay 'any .adjustments of
housing of students, 'of student
schedules, and,in capital outlay in-
volved in, their'participation in \he
Army Specialized and. Nf^yy Col-
lege Training Programs, until the
contracts have been negotiated.
In. the view of' th^ ■ American
Council on Education, there is lit-
tle likelihood that many more col-
leges need be added to the list of
those already ^approved for in-
spection and possible negotiation of
contract.'* Moreover, -wjiat the ulti-
mate demand will be on the schools
chosen for this participation in the
war program is as' yet uncertain.
Delays-have" occurred in the send-
ing of men to some institutions for
the Army - Specialized - Training
Program, and it may not < be in full
swing until June or July.—Office

Some Students

For The Summer
1 As theJend qf school,approaches,
plans for the' ,• summer, ahead are
rapidly being', made. For the, most
of us,.this .will,be,one of the most
unique summers of our lives. Some
of ithe boys' are being called into
active service in the armed forces;
others are:-going to school; while
still others aye going toUvprk this
summer. The-^irls are: doing one
of two things, going to school of
going home. In ah "attempt to pre-
sent a cross-section of the, summer
plans of, Tarieton students, we
have interviewed the' following
campus personalities and give their
comments herewith^,
Jeannie Williams: , I'm going-
back'to San .Antonio, Oh B<?y! ■
Lowell Cure: I am . going to
school right here at'Tarleton. '
DojWell Naylor: I am as yet'un-
.decided; however I imagine that I
.will be back in scliool.1
Mason Erwin: By the time sum-
mer gets here, I workin^
for Uncle Sam,
JJdelva Jo Gray: I will be going
tq Tarleton' this, summer.
.Gene EUcins; For the first eight
iVeeks I will be going to-Tarleton.,
Charles Dobbs? I hope to be go.-
in^ to Tarleton!

So.iher.e you have it—plans for
the summer.,*What are you doing
this 'summer? It seems that many
of the students'-will be hack. Let .us
hope . that many more will return

Did You Know Tarleton Has One of
stems in
By MARY JOE FITZGERALD
Did you get. cold this wy$er2 .1
don't think that you did.-You are
very well protected from cold here.
This is just to give yoix an idea of
how well. - ' '
. The first boilers were installed
in 1920 through an appropriation.
Now there are five large boilers.
When they were first installed, coal
was" used for fuel, then gas amj
electricity. There are two emer-
gency steam pumps to be used if
the electricity fails for any leghth
:'of time and-the two electric pumps
can't be used.
In. t^e power house th^re is a
,coal bin that holds 100 tons of
coal which can be used in, case of
emergency. The boilers can' still
b,e fired^with coal by just changing
the grates.
The steam is carried from the
plant by 6-inch lines* Each boiler,
has a, separate line so that i£ 'one
plays put the whole heating system
is' not impaired. Tq: travel ■ the
3040 feqt to the boys' dormitory
it takes th$ steam 20 minutes at 10'
pounds of pressure.
The steam is carried from' the
power plant*.throu'gh a tunnel th^t
vyjis und^iythe campus.. Carrying
"fcHe*eiectri(i an,d gas lines, too, the,
main tunnel run alongside of the
auditorium. One ' branch goes • to
the. girls' dormitory, hte Dean's
horne^ dining- hall* and to the boys'
dormitory.'-The first branch go(es
urider the shop'.to the gymnasium.
The'main artery- goes to the hos-
pital and branches to the home eh-
onbmi^sibuildipg, 'the college store,
the administration building,. -the
science buildingj and to , th'e JrTac
building. ,i' v .! , ,
Appropriatiohfhas been,made to
installanother' bailer after ^the
war. Regular, emplpyees.^ fire the
boilers in the day time' and 4, boys
rooming in .the agriculture btiilding
^ire It at night?/for the , approxi-
mate six mopths, thie heat i? need-
ed. \ ' . , ■
The'state inspector who inspects
.the power plants says that ours is
the neatest one in his-rounds. It
has be^n carefully taken care of.
So'-if you, get,cold,', blame soine-
. thing other than the heating sys-
tem. It ^ something to bei-proud
of.' j
Ordinary Citizen [-
Can Guard Against
Poison Gases
Detroit.^—(ACP) — Poison war
gases are not the horrible weappns
men imagine,- Dean C. ,D. Leake
of the1 University of .Texas, school
of medicine told the. American
Chemical society recently.1 -
Moreover, he said, the, ordinary
citizen may easily take care of him-
self with equipment readily avail-
able in every household. . '
A wet cloth or handkerchief over
the nose and mouth makes a fair
mask for gas concentrations civil-
ians might encounter.
Kitchen bleach, if soaked into th^.
handkerchief, will,-destroy most
war gases. If eyes, "nose or throat
are irritated, they should be v/ph.-
ed with a solution of a teaspoon of
baking'powder in a glass of water.
* If liquid war gas is spattered on
clothing, take it off in a'hurry and
throw it out of a window. If the
liquid spatters on the skin, dauh,
don't rub,' with a( cloth • wet with
kitchen bleach, or with soap and

Wanda' Dorris, sthe editor of'" the
J'Tac jn \Wl-'42: - \ '
"15 Moncada Way >
San Francisco, Calif,
., April 20, 1^43.i
Dear Miss Glover: ^ '
"Thanks for'^oui; letter an,d for-
give my delay in answering, but
who should know better than you
how" busy college can keep one.
"fn less than two mdnthg I \yill
have completed a^ar's! work at
the. University of California,, and
it has been a glorious experience.
This semester I am continuing my
courses in, journalispi, history,of
the America's, and economics, .and
am taking , Spanish and Latin
American - government. , Perhaps
you have guessed ,that J am parti-
cularly interested in 'Latin Ameri-
ca! I would like to be a foreign
correspondent 'in some, of those
countries, ' 1 '
K^nr\eth Van Zandt has , my
.praise as" a good circulation man-
ager because' I haven't' missed a
single issue of-the- J-Tac this year.
I was-sorry to-hear that you had
resigned from the staff, but I know
it was best for' you. And I'm sure
the staff is enjoying working-with
Miss Hilswick. Eunice Smith's col-
umn is particularly.'interesting to'
me because I find more familiar,
named, there than elsewhere. , ,
* My journalism course is being
very much ifun this semester 6e-,
cause we have lots of guest speak-
ers in/class,; and we have outside
news -assignment^. A couple of
weeks ago'I visited a class where
some-Southern Negro soldiers- are
learning, to re^d, w^ite, and/'work
arithmetjer-'ancb I wrote-a,feature'
story'about it, This moiith my out-
side assignment has been the
Willard Junior High School heat
There '-'I. have aU?nded a hobby
show and an1 oreh^stra and chorus,
concert.' The little, fourteen-year-
old vice-president has appointed
himsslf 'as 5my personal escort
while I'm getting ijews there, and
we have loads, of fun, He is- inter-
ested in journalism too, The other
day I was in the principal's office
looking through some files to veri-
fy some1 "names, and .one of the
teachers thought „I was one of the
students. Should I be insulted or
flattered ? , -
•. This semester ,1'ra finding time
to wo^k on the staff pf the Peli-
can, the campus humor magazine.
Of course, I'm just a lowly office
girl, but the work, is fun. 1
My latest whim is to join tKe-
-WAVJJS, and I'm pretty set'on the'
idea. I'll probably join'in. Decem-
ber! Wouldn't it'be fun to • .find
Mrs'. McAllister my commanding
officer? It is too^bad that Tarle8-
ton is. losing so many of its teach-
ers such.aa Mr; English, Miss Sav-
age/Mr. Clardy, and. so on. Things
won't be the same without them..
I'm including 'a sniapshpt o| my-
self taken by.,Gather" Gate on Pe|i-
can Salesday. The Fox^cameya man
is always taking us by surprise' at
Gather so tfyat explains the startl-
ed- expression- , - ,'•/
"Give my best regards (to the
