Loves Government
Lives Government
When in government class, Dr.
Grant olives and breathes govern-
ment from the starting bell until
students begin to fidget for fear
of being late for the next class.
Dr. Grant, who says, "I believe in
giving full value per educational
dollar," assails his scholars with
such a barrage of facts that a
person' would have to be pretty
thick-skulled if none of this lcnowl-
edge penetrated to his cerebrum.
Grant, faculty sponsor of the
Tarleton Scholarship Society, is
one. of the most interesting per-
sonalities on the campus. A native'
of Breckenridge, Texas, he receiv-.
ed his B.A, degree at, -Hardin-
Simmons University, seventy miles
away..Then he went to Georgetown
University in Washington, D. 0.
From 1939 until 1941 he attended
school there, working for the FBI
at the same time. In 1941 he,re-
ceived his M.A.
Then he entered the Navai Air
Corps and served until 1945. He
was stationed in the Pacific for 34
months. His work was with "flying
boats" on submarine patrol.
In 1945 Grant returned to Wash-
ington,and resumedjii^ studies and
work with the FBI. He Worked sis
ft private secretary to J. Edgar
Hoover, receiving his Ph.D. in 1947,
The tall doctor came to .Tarleton
through contact with Dick Smith,
a native of his home town.
Grant is an excellent after-
dinner speaker and is often called
on to speak at banquets and con-
ventions., To his government stu-
dents he gives the most effective
lectures they have ever heard. His
approach to the subject of govern-
ment is to bring constantly the
human element, showing that gov-
ernment is a mad-made thing.
He takes from the students their
nebulous, vague ideas and makes
the subject very practical and
clear. To do this he uses such
tricks, as stripping the framers of
our constitution of the veil of
idolatry that surrounds them and
showing that they had some very
personal motives in mind when
they wrote it. He' shows that a
working government must recog-
nize human nature for what it is.
Dr. Grant has one child whose
name i? Peter, and he will be a
year old March 13. Mrs. Grant is
a native Georgian. "She likes it
very much here, and when a Geor-
gian admist liking Texas, it's one
for ftipley," says the young prof.
Dr. Grant likes it here, too. "I
hope to stay at Tarleton until I'm
old and gray," he says, "and I hope
that from time to time my former
students will drop in to see n)e."

clinic last year, and an even larger

"Dr. Sawhill is a former assist-
ant to Dr. A. A. Harding, who is
to band what George Washington
was to the United States," stated
Randolph N. Foster, professor of
instrumental music and director of
band at Tarleton, showing his en-
thusiasm.
When Dr. Harding retired, Saw-
hill was awarded his position at
the University, of Illinois. Dr. Saw-
hill is now head of the instrument-
al department at the University of
Southern California. Having re-
ceived. nationwide acclaim, he is
also a member, of the-faculty n*. the
Interlocken Band School and has
been the most sought after clini-
cian, as well as the most success-
ful clinician for liigh school band
groups during the last ten years. '
, ""He is "acclaimed as being among
the top half dozen music educators-
band directors, if not number one
in the United States today, which
naturally postulates the fact that
this group of men leads the entire
music world in this respect," Fos-
ter said.
- Dr. Sawhill will direct confer-
ences for music directors and
classes for students. For the di-
rector's there will be open discus-
sions on band materials, rehearsal
techniques, instrumental demon-
strations, methods and band prob-
lems. For the students there will
be clinic classes for all instru-
ments, full band classes, sectional
rehearsals, and a concert band
program. Baton twirling will also
be taught. The final concert will
be broadcast. Junior and senior
students will receive high school
credit.
Recreational facilities for both
directors and students will be fea-
tured. These include golf, tennis,
swimming, softball, and basketball.
Others may be made available up-
on request. Housing and meals on
the campus will be provided for
the participants, by Tarleton. Cost
of these and all fees total only
$16.45 per student.
Offering both preparatory and
college training, the Tarleton music
department seeks to equip students
in the teaching of music, to give
a general cultural background in
which the students acquire a deep-
er appreciation of •music, and to
train those sufficiently talented for
professional work.
Music organizations which the
Tarleton Music Department spon-
sor include a military band, a
symphonic band, two dance bands,
a faculty male quartette, an A
Capella choir, a mixed chorus, a
student male quartette, a girls'
sextette, and other small en-
sembles.
Success of this summer band
school is due largely to the efforts
put forth by the, music division
head, Donald W. Morton, and the
band director, Randolph Foster.
Morton, who holds both a B.M.
and an M.M. from the Eastman
School of Music, is secretary of the
Texas Association of Music Schools
and a member of the board of
directors of the Music Education!
National. Conference. In this or-
ganization he is also chairman of
the Junior College Curriculum Con-
sultant Group. Foster, who has 'had
wide experience in his field of in-
strumental music and band direct-
ing, has his B.M. and M.M. de-
grees from the University of Texas.
Other members of the Tarleton
music faculty include Chas, W.
Froh, professor of piano; Mrs.
Harold Dorsey, associate professor
in piano and public school music;
Miss Tippora English, assistant
professor in piano; Royal Brantley,

Had a little time off the other
day (strange as that may seem
to many Tarleton students), So
thought a show might be good.
After being entertained at the
local cinema, walked into a drug

the next stool sat a couple of local
merchants complaining- about in-

"Precisely So"
"Precisely So", a 20 minute film
portraying th6 developments in
modern standards in measuring-
time, space, and weight, is the
main film to be shown, by the en-
gineering department March 13.
It has been necessary to develop
delicate instruments of measure-
ment, capable of dividing an inch
or an ounce into thousands of
parts, in order to satisfy today's
high standards of high precision
manufacturing demands.
This picture shows the develop-
ment of these, modern standards of
accurate measurement, beginning

gan. Ernest comes from Dublin
and is majoring in agriculture.
Thomas, from Eastland, is major-
ing' in forestry.

received a corporal's rating are

Stanphill. Lewis is majoring in
architecture and comes from San
Antonio. Charles, from Abbott, is
majoring in mechanic arts.
with the crude instruments of the
ancients. In clear and entertain-
ing fashion, this film shows scien-
tific instruments that measure
time to the thousandth part of a
second, gauge the weight of a pen-
cil dot on a piece of paper, split
a hair's breadth measurement into
hundreds of parts.
According to advance reports,
"Precisely so" is not a technical
film, as it is as fascnating as it
is unusual.
"Metal Magis", a 10 minute
fil mon how modern metals are
made, will a\sp be shown. This
film begins with the occurance of
metals in nature and the fashion-
ing of them into alloys and mix-
tures. .
Sequences show the crystalline
sturctures of metal, since this is
the basis for the forming of new
metals. i
In conclusion, the film shows
how an alloy which has entirely
different characteristics than its
components is made by mixing
certain metals.

tho' and it was hard to keep from
hearing what these two had to say.'
There seems to be a great deal of
misunderstanding 'bout this place
even though it's been for about 50
years. So how about a program to
foster a better understanding be-
tween Tarleton and Stephenville ?
This should come under the func-
tions of the Student Council, so
let's get on the ball, people.
LOST AND FOUND DEPT.—
Lost, one head of beautiful, curly,
blond hair. If found, return to Dr.
Davis as soon as possible. This is
badly needed. Found, Miss Lillard's
purse. Dean Cunyus will be more
than happy to return on request.
COMPLAINT DEPT.—A em-tain
boy in Doris Scotts English class
has been moaning about that at-
tractive young lady being engaged.
The boy is also in her math class.
Rough, ain't it, boy?

WHY IS IT?—The girls at Tar-
leton get a new loung-e, whily the
boys go without a proper place

getting a new gym, ag building
and part of a science building; but
still the boys stay in that crummy
hole. Well, it's rough all over. It
seems that the administration have
concentrated their attentions (how
about that last phrase 1) on getting,
everything but the boys' dorm
fixed. Sure would be nice to walk
into a good clean dorm with good
beds, painted walls and good
floors.

ATTENTION DEPT.—Give a
notice tp the move for more privil-
eges for girls living in the dorms.
This thing could lead to something,
but Jet's keep our fingers crossed
for the girls. If the changes are
made, they won't come before they
were needed. Sure hope you get
the job done, girls. And, boys, bet-
ter help all you can—it'll mean
more time with the little women.
It's a good deal.
Well, that's all "for this week.
Keep your mind on that deal about

Tarleton and the town. That's need-

THE J-TAC—3
Tarleton Co-Eds
sign
By MARY JO KENNY
Exclusive designed custom made
frocks! They qan be found at Tar-
leton as well as Paris,
Almost thirty of these individual
creations were made at Tarleton
last semester in the senior cloth-
ing class. Each girl in the class
made two garments which she de-
signed especially to suit her type,
figure, coloring and personality.
One of these dresses was a cotton
wash dress, and;the other a wool
suit or coat. All were made from
basic patterns that were, changed
to suit the individual style.
The cotton dress was a fairly
simple project but offered many
types- of problems. Etta. Mae Box
learned how to lay patterns eco-
nomically after her material shrank
four inches.
Azalee Edmonson has special af-
fection for her plaid dress after
spending- many hours making the
plaids match exactly,
Everyone in the class like tailor-
ing better than jiny other, part of
the course. They were all especially
interested in a new coat or suit.
Many of them dreaded putting in
the lining—one of the most impor-
tant steps in making the coat fit
nicely. They were shown a simple
way, however, that made lining an
easy job.
The only mishap was when Ros-
elle sewed some pins, in her shoul-
der pads. •
All those who took. the course'
were very enthusiastic about it.
Beverly Virdell states that it is
one of the most practical courses
she has even taken.
Etta, Mae sums up the general
attitude of the class when she says
that she feels that she can make
almost anything in the way of
clothes after taking the course.
