ed fc\£ the^left, are developing the ] when weather permits, from their'
ranch home, ten miles south of
Mineral Wells, to college here at
John Tarleton/
For eighteen months', Robert was
a second lieutenant in the Army
Air Corps'where he flew the P-51
and P-40 pursuit planes as well as
the AT-6, • Frio? to his entry into
the army, he attended Texas A&M
and had also been a student of
John Tarleton yi 1941, Robert is
now majoring in civil engineering.
Before coming to Tarleton, Hil-
lery was a student of the .New
Mexico "Military Institute where he
completed high school. He is now
majoring in pre-law and or) finish-
ing here he plans on transferring
to'the University of Texas. Hillery
has a number of flying hours with
the Piper Cub and 'has recently
soloed in the AT-6.
When the weather permits, the
brothers keep the plane on their
father's ranch where they have two
fields! for' landings One of the
strips runs'- north and south- for
setting "the plane down'when the
wind is frohi>one direction, and the
other strip'runs east and west for
coming in when the wind is from
the other direction, If the weather
is bad it is1 necessary to keep the
plane at the> Mineral Wells airport.
The trip from the ranch to !the
Stephenville city aii*port 'takes
around 15 minutes. When the bro-«
thers do not fly, they drive the 35
miles distance.
As one or the other of the bro-
thers has an early class on the six
school days of the week, they must
be at school by eight o'clock, On
the mornings they fly to school, it
is not necessary for them to get up
until seven o'clock since this gives
them plenty of time to meet their
classes on the dot.

for the F. F. A. AH-Tarleton
As the San Angelo Rams invad-
ed Hays Field last Friday after-
noon in an 18-0- win. over the John
Tarleton Plowboys, they brought
with them a colorful display of
band, drill squad, and yell leaders,
The Rams band started the day
off with a bang by parading
through Stephenville in flashing
black and gold uniforms and gleam-
ing gold instruments. Leading the
band were two vivacious high-step-
ping majorettes, Doris Barrow and
Jerry Warren, the band sweetheart,
Louise'Rowan, and the handsome
drum major, W. L. Griffin.
Band, Drill Squad -Marcfe at Half -
The drill squad, handsomely ar-
rayed*- in white and gold, marched
in intricate formation with the
band at the half of the'ball game.
The band entered from the south
end of the field and the drill squad
'from the north end, and stood at
attention facing each other in lines
that spread the whole width of
the football field,
Joey Evans, cheer leader, wheel-
ed onto the field in honor of the
Plowboys, a hand plow decorated
with purple and white. The band
played the San Angelo Jr. Col-
lege anthem arid retired from the
field.
Contributing to the fine spirit
and the sportsmanship of the
group from San Angelo were the
charming girl yell leaders and the
forementioned Joey Evans. The
three girls, all dark-haired and full
of spirit, were Dorothy Cooper and
Suzie Davis, 'headed by Lyvonda
Hoffman. They kept the San An-
gelo student body representation,
small though it was, yelling long
and loud during the entire game.
Tarleton Military Band Marches
The Tarleton military band
marched on the field led by Char-
les McAllister, giving a fine dis-
play of marching and playing.
Both the Ram band and the Tar-
leton band kept the spirit of the
spectators up during the game by
stirring marches and swing music,

nearby towns who sat spellbound
through the performance.

vel.

everybody and the admiration of
the full house for extensive musi-
cianship, The audience sat entranc-
ed, through-the inspired playing of
this popular symphony from its

TEXANS WILL
DECIDE FATE
OF BUILDING
Today's Election
May Correct Ten
Year Old Error
The voters of Texas decide to-
day whether to rectify the cleric
cal error which for nearly ten years
has prevented the State of Texas
from paying for Tarleton's science
building,
. The debt is $75,000, and for the
10 years that payment has hung
fire, more than 10,000 Tarletonites
have used the building and its
facilities.
Housing, the college library of
28,000 volumes and classrooms for
courses in engineering, physics,
botany, architecture, and. chemis-
try, it is now the most used build-
ing on the campus.
Error Holds' Up Payment -
The legislative clerk's error in
1937, made by inadvertently omit-
ting the item from the copy of the
appropriations bill signed by the
governor, has blocked all'attempts
of the state to pay the contrac-
tors who built it,
When 'the governor, attempting
to correct the error, authorized
payment from his deficiency fund,
the state comptroller and the at-
torney general ruled that the
governor had no legal authority
to make the $75,000 allocation, and
that a constitutional amendment
was necessary.
Amendment Defeated Once
The proposed amendment sub-
mitted to the voters in 1942 was
defeated, largely because of its
being misunderstood-by the people.
Today it is being voted on again.
Most of the money is due the
Blair Construction Company of
Dallas, Martin Brothers of Dallas,
and the Empire Electric Company
bf Fort Worth, The Forth Worth
National Bank holds the unpaid
warrants.
Building Does Double Duty
Under the present jampacking
of the college campus, the build-
ing is doing double service, The ar-
chitecteral study room of the
building provides for only 14.stu-
dents, but 22 architectural students
use it.
