Enrolls AiTSC
Among the new personalities on
the campus this semester is found
one which stands, out because of
the independence and courage
which have brought him to Tarle-
ton, hundreds of. miles frim his
home. This boy, Bill Johnson, is a
native of Juneau, Alaska, located
in the southeastern part of the
country.
Bill attended grade school in
Juneau and graduated from Jun-
eau IIi -h School. During his high
school days he participated in intra
mural, sports and won a letter in
high school debate. Although he did
not play it, Bill stated that basket,
ball was the principal high school
sport. They .have no football or
track activities.
While making a trip last Christ-
mas, Bill stopped at Tairleton and
talked to school officials and ar-
ranged to enroll here this semester.
He attended the New Mexico Mil-
itary Institute at Roswell last
semester, and he stated that he
liked Tarleton much better. When
asked how he liked Texas, Bill
remarked that "It's all right" and
that the, thing he likes best this
Texas weather. Bill is undecided
about schools after1 Tarleton, but
chinks he will probably came back
here next year.
Bill's father and mother origion
ally lived in New York and Wash-
ington. In the 20's they moved to
the comparitively new country of
Alaska where Bill was born. He
has a younger brother who is a
junior in high school and is now at-
tending the New Mexico Military
Institute.
The possessor of a nomadic
spirit, Bill has made trips to the
United States. He remarked that
he had never disliked a place he
had been and that he had never
liked any one place better than the
rest. He has made trips into the
states of Washington and Oregon;
and he thinks Califorsia is "swell
cquntry," He recently made a trip
to New Orleans, and a' light came
into his eyes as he said that it was
a wonderful city-especially ' the
French1 quarter.
; a.
Bill is putting himself through
schooj, and he plans to Start look-
for a job here soon. In previous
summers Vie worked' in the fish-
ing industry but is undecided about
what he will do thi^ summer.

Botany Students
Wonder About
Skeletons, Frogs
By ROBERT KENNY
Botany students walk noncha-
lantly into lab, expecting the us-
ual chlorophyceae, mitosis, and
serrately margined leaves, but in-
stead what is this before their
eyes, swaying1 slightly in the
breeze? Yes, it is a human skele-
ton! And in those big jars—pre-
served, snakes and1 dissected frogs!
Instead of going home and fall-
ing- in bed with a "one too many"
fixation they are delighted with
the "new lab" and have the time
of their lives, playing "this little
piggy went to market" on the toes
of the skeleton, and speculating on
whether or not the snakes smell
bad, in spite of hasty explanations
by the professor that the botany is
there too, waiting for their atten-
tion.
It seems that this is the result
when both botany and zoology
labs are held in, the same rooms
and professors add, with a menac-
ing tone in their voices, that both
classes will have to concentrate on
their own lab work, or grades will
be definitely threatened by the.
long, rattling hands on the skele-
ton and the intricate ch#in colonies
of myxsphyceae. ■
