AROUND THE CAMPUS
By DERETTA WALKER
Creed of a Tarletonite
I believe in Tarleton, not that there are not other schools With admir-
able feature^, "worthy of a student's allegiance but for me Tarleton is
the best school on earth. I love her professors; I believe in her students,
in their desire for the best and their ability to realize it in their life.
I believe it is my duty to support Tarleton in everything; not to be
blind' to her faults but to set myself to their eradication; not to expect
of my school any higher conduct than of myself as an individual, but
to make my conduct conform to the highest ideals.
I believe in Tarleton's mission, a" mission in every good movement.
I believe the hand of Providence is clearly discernible in Tarleton's
history and that full recognition and place should be given God in our
school life.
Dyess Legion Post Brings Tarleton
Excitement of the Rodeo Arena
The Wm. E. Dyess Legion Post brought to Tarleton a little of
the flavor of the old west and some of the excitement and adven-
ture of the arena in their recent All-Tarleton rodeo. This is an
example of the activities that Tarleton ought to have more of.
,Th§ rodeo included everybody who could ride, rope, or dance, and
some who couldn't. It drew record crowds at each performance
for any event of thi& sort that has been on the Tarleton campus
in adong- time.
This rodeo was no^got-up' affair. For weeks ahead of time it
was planned and carefully worked out so that everything would
run like clock work. A rodeo association was organized with com-
mittees to take care of every little detail. A complete arena anfl
set of pgjis was built by the students and barns were cleaned up
and made Ready for the horses the cowboys brought in just before
the show. A rodeo producer, judges, an announcer, and a sound
system manager were contacted and arrangements made for each
of these to appear and help put on a top-flight show. Advertising
and publicity work was well taken care of and when the rodeo'
finally rolled around, everything was set to go. Boys from all
over the state entered in contests against the toughest stock
ever seen at a college rodeo. These boys, and also the girls who
participated, got no compensation for their work except what
they won and the applause and credit given them by the audience.
The show went over in a big way. Everybody was well pleased,
even the cowboys who didn't place in the final average. The Post
has plenty to be proud of in their first annual All-Tarleton Rodeo.
NTAC and JTAC Work Toward Better
Relations Between Student Bodies
A feeling of friendly rivalryJias always been* our policy to-
ward NTAC. Both NTAC and JTAC have been-txying to' promote
friendlier relations between the sister institutions.
Tarleton students made a good will visit to Arlington several
weeks ago, and NTAC returned the visit last week. These two
visits have done much to cement friendly relations.
The Shorthorn ran a story last week urging all veterans eligi-
ble to vote and all faculty members to vote for SJR No. 5. This
was a very friendly gesture on the part of the school.
The paper also noted the Tarleton Egg Laying Test, and the
good work it is accomplishing.
The spirit of friendly rivalry is to-be praised, and we should
not have this feeling on the athletic field only. Each sehool can
do much fqr the other; we should treat all Junior Aggies with
respect.
I'm back again to try to bring
you the' latest on the,, campus chat-
ter. Have you been noticing all the
sleepy-eyed gals and guys around
these parts. See^s they don't know
that Hallowe'en is over.
PRESTON W. NASH, did you
say you had the S. A, on LENORA
HOLLY?
■ ' FRANCIS 'fickle" GANOE,
whom are you two timing now ?
HONEYBEE JOHNSON, who
was that pretty brunett we saw
you with Sunday night?
Whose bottle of what beverage
went on whose pants in chemistry?
C. JONES, why won't MARY
LOUISE give you a date? Is it
because you couldn't stay on the
ball?
GUTHRIE, I thought you were
the man about the campus. Are
you afraid to ask JOYCE MANI-
SON for a date?
The eternal triangle — BOB
GREEN — MARY LEWIS — and
M. C. Jones.
BETTY MARGARET ALLEN,
what are you going to do since R.
A. BLARE quit school? J. W.
CAKER thinks he will be a good
substitute.
MARY VIRGINIA HUGGINS,
did you say you and WALLIS
WILLS were just good friends?
MARY EVELYN PUTTY, do
you still have the S. A, on the
football players like BELL PO-
CAERS?
What keeps ROBERT STOVALL
hanging around HILL'S DRUG
STORE? It couldn't be a blonde.
What goes on in front of the
girls dorm between BETTY JEAN
JONES and a black ford! 1 ! Com-
ando tactics, huh?
SAM- KNUTSON, how many
freckles did you count at the Brady
game?
FELIX COPELAND, get that
dreamy look out of your eye when
you see JO ANN HERRING.
Ask LEE HUGHES what hap-
pened to him, BETTY MOLLAR?
CLEON DENNISON,, why have
you been watching the news from
San Antonio?
Why did MARY HELEN SMITH
and "CURE leave the Rec hall at
no(5n'? The football boys could
probably provide the answer.
Say, SID LANIER, you had bet-
ter leave these wrong bottles alone
in chemistry.
BARBARA EBELL and SAM
SAILER are still in the swing of
things.
From what I hear SKINNY
WHITEf and BOBBIE NELL CON-
NALLY surely do enjoy riding the
city bus.
VIRGINIA JONES, do you have
the S. A. on a tall, handsome,
blonde, boy?
Who is that cute ex-marine from;
Columbus, Ohio that was on our
campus last weekend? How about
that ROSYLENE L*EVY?
Is it plkns for a wedding that
MILDRED HOUSTON and JIM-
MY PRYOR find so much to talk
about ? i
JOAN BROOKS seems to havej
a shadow. What about that,
CLYDE ?
We want NORMA YOUNG and
PAUL LANCASTER to keep up
the good work, ' *
What's the trouble between JOY
DABNEY and MOOSE IJART-
MAN?
Whom are you snowing nowj
EDDIE TINES? RUTH, or th^
girl in California? ^
MUTT BLAKELY and MARY
JANE BARROW s(eem'' to be hit-
ting it off all right.
BETTY LUMMAS and JIM UL-
BRIGHT have been seeing a lot of
each other lately.
BULLDOG and BETTY HAST-
ING seem to be doing all the good.
DEAN GARNER, what's this
we hear about you going with
GORDON YATES? Can't you
make up your mind whether he's
your type or not? lV
People are wondering who RITA
LEWIS and PENNY DUNWOODY
are going to fight over now since
T. D. ^CHAMBERS has gone back
to the Navy.
Who is this black headed girl
they call 'RICHLAND SPRINGS'?
MARILYN PIERCE, we thought
that the steps at the administra-
tion was not the library.
We heard rumors to the effect
that DONALD EARLY seems to
think a lot of one of the HARVEY
girls. Which one is it, DONALD?
You were saved by the bell. Re-
member I'll catch you next week,
so be prepared.
t Notes From Other t
♦ T iKvow ISJn+ncs
Mrs, Martin has been doing her
bit toward getting Texas voters to
recognize the importance of SJR
No. 5 by mailing out 3700 bro-
chures over the state. Mrs. Martin
has yery special interests in the
welfare of the college. On< Oc-
tober 31 she completed her 27
years of service on the Tarleton
library staff. Since Mrs, Martin
has seen the college grow from
the beginning, she is always ready
to help the school in any way.
Miss Thompson attended the re-
gional meeting of the Delta Kappa
Gamma in Breckenridge on the 2G.
She spoke to the group represent-
ing 22 counties on the constitution-
al amendment which will pay for
the Tarleton Science building.
On the 29th Miss Thompson was
co-hostess with Mrs. Staggs and
Mrs. Starling in the guest dining
room for the Campus Club.
Students Urged to Make Right Triumph
By Voting for the Tarleton Amendment
, today is the last chance to vote for the SJR No. 5. This is the
deadline for any aid or assistance the eligible voters of Tarleton
can give in getting the science building paid for. This is an
important istfue, and it means much to:Tarleton to get its honest
debt to the contractors of the building paid. These men trusted
Texas and Tarleton for a long time. Now it's time to show them
that no real Texan or Tarletonite will go back on his word. It's
time to' see that the contractors get,their money for the work
they did nine years ago. Any person o'i£;the Tarleton campus who
is eligible to vote should feel it is his^Uty to his state and school
to vote for this amendment today. I^on't wait another minute;
do it now! * 1
Vote as you please today, but
please vote.
Veterans, vote for, the science
building amendment today.
Have you reminded the faculty
to vote for SJR No. 5 today?
MAJESTIC
BARBER SHOP
Students do not seem to realize
that ignoring overdue notices will
cost them their library privileges,
The library tries to send out an
overdue notice three days after
the book first becomes overdue. If
this notice is ignored another card
is mailed five days after the first
one. If there is still no response
a letter is sent to the offending
student. 1 5
When this notice is ignored,
the student automatically loses
his privilege to take books
out of the library. Every ef-
fort is made to be sure the
book has not been returned be-
fore the notices are sent, but
mistakes are made*, toccassion-
ally. If a mistake has been
made and the book has been
returned, or if the book is lost,
the student should come in im-
mediately to notify one of the
library staff. Fines, are stop-
ped when the book is reported
lost. Please co-operate with
your library staff and bring in
your overdue books.
