CLASS (?) MEETINGS
What contagion has spread among Tarleton students? Some-
thing has hoppened, No on.e comes to class meetings anymore.
At the first of the year these meetings were, fairly well at-
tended considering—considering everyone was just getting set-
tled. Now, however, when everyone should be back in the grove,
this excuse is no longer plausible.
The excuses offered for npn^.atten dance are too numerous
to count. Thg main opes, however are:
Wliy, I didn't know anything about it. ,
Gosh! I forgot.
I thought it was At 6:30.
I couldn't malje it this time, but I'll be at the next one.
Well,- really I'm not much good at meetings.
I ditlH't h.avp .anything to say .
Why, was I supposed to .come to it? I though it was just
, for those who live op the campus.
Many years a o our forefathers fought and died that their
heirs might have the right to assemble and tlje right to vote. To-
day pommunism is .creeping into our colleges. The Communist
.knows that the habits • that are formed in college follow us
through life. He also knows that the person who isn't interested
;in his student gensmment won't be interested in his national

POOR OSCAR P.
A few people on Tarleton campus are beginning to wonder
about Ihe absep.ee of someone who has been a very important
part of TSC 'for many years. Severalt. weeks ago he began to be
see only infrequently and "He'lookecTa little ill even then. The
last lew days he hasn't been around at all. No one knows what
has happened to him and seemingly no one cares, Has he died, or
is he about to die? Maybe he is just on vacation.
One nice .thing about this missing person, though, is that
If he is dead, Jje can always be revived; if he is ill, he can al-
ways leap into sparkling health; and if he is on.vacation, he
can be recalled instantly. 7
No matter what has become of him, Tarleton needs him
! batjlv Friday of this week and Monday of next week. Those are
the dates of the Plowboy basketball games with Arlington.
The name, of this badly nefeded missing person is, of
course OSCAR P.—the spirit of Tarleton. A sad 'fact is that
Oscar P. can't go to these games by himself. Ile'must be brought
piece by piece by TSC students. So now we come to the point of
this story, \yhich is;:
: The Plowboy,? games Come and see,
And bring a hunk of Oscar P.
RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS
A week of services to bring a year of religion to everyone
on the Tarleton Campus. That was the purpose of Religious
Emphasis Week, and the student groups and facplty members
who worked so diligently had this in mind when they started
making preparations a week ago. ,
These groups and individuals received no pay except the
satisfaction of. knowing-that they had done an excellent job.
They did, indeed, do a fine job in planning the programs for
each day of the week, securing a speaker, and appointing stu-
dents to 'conduct the programs. According to these student
leaders, no student who was asked to help in the activities of
Religious Emphasis Week refused to take part, a 1-00% co-oper-
'ation was received. These people began working on Religious
Emphasis Woek activities many weeks ago in order to have bene-
ficial prograrriS;which hold the interest of everyone each day of
the week. /
It would probably make these people feel that their efforts
were not wasted to know that Tarletonites appreciated the pro-
grams. Why not tell them that you enjoyed the services of the
week?

sar, Frederick Rolf, of the impending danger of the "Ides of March" in the presentation of

Here We Go
Again Girls,
Head 'n Weep
By HAROLD WARFORD
In reference to the item made
in th.e paper last week concerning
girls getting dates for the Military
Bal} with boys in the Fort, J.
Badgewell has another announce-
ment to make:
"Tell the girls to please stop
calling us up in all hours of the
day and night to ask for dates,"
he says. "Also tell them to stop
sending us letters'. We already have
more applications than we can
possibly handl^ and all the letters
we are getting now are being junk-
ed. The deadline was definitely set
for Friday and we mean to keep
it."
J. Badgewell further mentions
the fact that some of the girls de-
feated their own purpose in some
of the letters that they wrote. "The
poor things were too shy to use
their real names," he says, "so
naturally we could not consider
their requests, even though we
knew who they were, ail along."
"It's a shame, too, that these
girls were so bashful; some of the
letters were very nice. An ad-
mirer of Wendell Lackey wrote,
'If your answer is yes, it will
probably thrill me so that my weak
heart will hardly stand it.' I re-
member another letter to Jack
Jones which said, 'I Ijke Jack even
thoug'h he is conceited and has a
pointed head'."

NURSE LIKES
TARLETONITES
"I like Tarleton and I find the
students interesting and sometimes
amusing," smiled Miss Alice Bran-
denburg, new nurse who recently
began duties at the Tarleton hos-
pital. This is the first time Miss
Brandenburg has worked on a col-
lege campus and she stated that
she liked the work because she is
on her own much of the time.
Sparkling .eyes, long, dark hair,
and clear skin characterize this
Fredericksburg girl, and her warm
smile and friendly manner put her
patients and'associates at ease at
once.' Miss Brandenburg . answers
the night doorbell at the hospital
and assists Miss Klem, head nurse.
Miss Brandenburg came to Tarle-
ton from Austin where she worked'
in surgery and was the surgical
supervisor in the hospital there.
She is a graduate of the Bracken-
ridge Hospital School of Nursing,
and she worked in Fredericksburg
eight months. She also received
part of her training in "the Wash-
ington University School of. Nurs-
ing in St. Louis. Miss Brandenburg
commented that she liked the city
of St. Louis very much, because
there is never a dull moment,' and
there was always something in-
teresting- to do there.
A nomadic sort of person, Mis.s
Brand.enb.urg loves to travel but
said that she doesn't have ,m,uch
time for it now. She likes to square
dance and attend baseball games
and'rodeos.

Hugh Wolfe, of the Wolfe Nursery,
came to the rescue .with an offer

the Christmas season after seeing
