IS VICTOR OVER
Listen, Plowboy
FOR THE FIRS TIME since this
' column has been an institution in
1 the paper, it is'to l>e. dedicated, to
, oth^r things, than athletics and pep.
/ This time we want to talk for mon
ey and the. organization -whose
work is. so much in evidence about
' omr campus.—The Ten Tarleton
• Peppers, ' " '; .
PERSONALLY we want to say
that' we are for the T. T. P.' and
their work. We realize that they
are ' iah ; important factor in the
inaWtehance: of' that somethipg
known as pep in pur school.".
THESE f>: :N, ten of them and a
faculty m-;j?-.ber, work while you
sleep. Eat": night before a football
game they lose most of the night's
' sleep—if hot all.
, s THEY :HAVE the ; best attend-
ance of any cIuJd—the record being
' every man present at every meet-
1 ingvand on. titne. The reason, or
•f&tKpr: Me Jof -the"?eaSoWs,- i^~ the
severe punishment of John Browne
for, absence, and lateness. . .
: :
,V
; j FINANCIALLY they are in a
■ bad way. We who have made an
, investigation know that, just on
the sigh that graces our campus
now, they used over three dollars'
. worth of material. And think of
the enormous sums that must /go
for! canvas, brushes, paints, and
. extras oh other occasions!. We,hap-
pen to know that each one of these
men has been to, a large.personal
' <• expense, and that the club is-in
debt now. We'teipw' also that they
will continue to work, regardless,
and that is, the purpose of this
■ article. ' . ■ . ■
'.-si'
SOME day an appeal for help will
come to you, not by one. of the
members, but by an outsider who is
interested.. On that day will you
do your /part? Will each one of
you contribute a small sum to keep
the good work going. The T. T. P.
do not work for glory; they are a
secret organization; they, do not
work, for personal gain; they do not
advertise themselves. They work
for the best interest of the school,
iji; an 'unselfish way, and now they
need your help. Will you do your
bit?) , Won't, you donate what you
ean afford arid help this most ex-
cellent, organization to do a bigger,
better, and more efficient work?

SPEAKER FOR
ERARY GROUP
Plans for Various'Contests Dis-
cussed fey J. Thomas Davis and
OUie O Societies
The J. Thomas Davis and Ollie O
Literary Societies met last Tuesday
evening at seven o'clock. ' ;
Dean Davis, as speaker of the
' «" >'
evening, gave us a most interesting
talk on "The Value of Piiblic
Speaking." In this he stressed the
present-day problem in their re-
lation, "to public speaking and told
what public speaking means to him.
He related to us a very amusing
incident JErom his , first experience
in-,a debating club. Public speaking
is' an art that everyone needs,
whether he is a teacher,, lawyer, or
business man. Dean Davis told
lis that several very prominent
business' men of Stephenville, upon
being' asked what they.desire n^st-
of " things they Ho not liaye, said
they would rather be good public-
speakers. /
Everyone enjoyed this talk very
much indeed, and certainly realized
more than ever the need of effici-
ency in this line of work. , ■
The presidents of, the respective
clubs made spme appreciative re-
marks in regard to the talk.
The coming oratorical contest
was discussed by Miss Lillard.
Every one who is interested in-the
contest must begin, to work on his
pration at once.He can secure his
material from the Extension De-
partment of Texas University, We
want tq put Tarleton on the map
this year in oratory and debating.

| Battalion Notes
Some of the new, cadets do not,
as yet, know all of Tarleton's rules
and regulations, which protest their
privileges. When the conduct of
the cadets shows that some rule
needs explanation, the necessary
information will be given in these
rules. At present the matter of
sweaters is troubling some. Only
the approved or award sweater'
may be worn. The award sweater
■with school uniform is correct' for
all occasions except those taking
•place on, Sunday. The approved
sweater ; may be , worn with the,
school uniform, but it is never
worn'on Sunday or after six in the
evening., Note, furthermore, that
no sweater is worn, at drill.
There are a few men who persist
in wearing light-colordd tan shoes,
and there are others who persist in
wearing black ones. Those who
wear either of these kind^ are
breaking the rules, thereby sub-
jecting themselves todemerits.
In inclement weather the cadet
may wear laced boots. . However,
by no possible jugglingi of the let-
ter, can laced boots be changed, to
cow-boy boots. So do not wear the
latter.
From week to week an estimate
of the improvement made by each
company will be given in these
notes. Also, the approximate stand-
ing of each company will be given.1
The most noticeable and frequently
repeated mistakes made in each
company will be recoi'ded here.
Therefore, cadets, watch this col-
umn so that you may correct ybur.
own mistake, and make your com-
pany the best, *' . '' ,
At present the two companies are
approximately equal. There, has
been a very noticeable improvement
lately in both companies, indicating
that a great deal of effort is being
expended by every one. Should
either comply relax, the other will
surely forge ahead. Should this
condition prevail it will be almost
impossible for the unfortunate
company to overcpme, its 3plf-ii|i-
posed handicap, jfix the: i?ayb?
the department of public
speaking and expression
Many people, ! suppof^j ^re-woii-'
dering' just what good the depart?'
ment 'of Public Speaking and: Ex-
pression is doing to'., help the stud-
ents who are, in this department-
■ st# -
The world is calling for leadership,
for men and women not only who
caii think clearly and logically, but
who can also get up before their
fellow citizens and express them-
selves clearly and effectively. We
sometimes think that? only 'tire, law-
yerj the s preacher, and maybe the
salesman need, cfratory; but when
we consider a bit, we find that men
and women in all walks of life are
called upon to speak in public, and
this is what our department is do-
ing. The' teafahpr* may be able to
impress the truths upon; her pupils
more effectively; the merchant, the
laboi'er, and the farmer need ora-
tory. • Therefore, if you ■ will join
us in our department,' you will be
able to accomplish all of these
great'things.' '■'■ -■
Everyone v^lio ,;is .interested in
the oratorical contest to be held in
the next few weeks, will please see
Miss - Lillard before that time.
Everyone who/wishes to join the
contest may do so, and a prize will
be awarded to the boy and girl who
wins fir^t place!; This prize will be
given by the merchants pf Stephen-
ville. Also, the1 boy and , girl who
win will; represent John Tarleton
College in the: oratorical contest
OUR COLLEGE SONG
J."Oii iYe . Tarleton" should m?an
something—yes, mean 's whole lot
to any Tarleton student. To hear
the beautiful notes - of, our beloved
song should make us have a feeling
of patriotism and love for our in-
stitution. We should be jealously
it great respect.' '
We all like to sing and; hear the
band play "On Ye Tarleton,"—but
don't you think we are making our
song too common this year? Ail
this.-term, of school "On Ye Tarle-
ton" has been sung or: played for
every occasion. Now, honestly,
don't you think too frequent . use
will make our song tpo common?
I believe we should'sing or play
"On Ye Tarlelon" for special occas-
ions only. To do so will make us
proud of our , song, and' we will
feel more strongly just what the
significance of "On Ye Tarleton''
is to Tarleton students. i'

The Russian Cossack Chorus enter-
tained a large crowd in the gym-
nasium. /;,;.
We were fortunate in having this
chorus on our Lyceum program, for
this is their first American tour,
and their selections were of the
rery highest type.
The program was enjoyable
throughout and unique in several
respects. The costumes they! wore
and the spirit in which they sang
helped us to appreciate the Rus-
sian songs. Nearly all the selec-
tions were/rendered in the Russian
language,;. .• | '
The program was divided into
four parts "as follows:
/Part I
"Serenade"' by Moissuff,
Selection frpm the Opera Ban-
dura" by Davidobsky. ' /
"Sentinel's Song" by Kunz.

The director, Sergei Socoloff, was
very' capable in leading his men.
He roused the Southern patriotic
spirit by; having the chorus sing
"Old Folks at Home," "Dixie," and
"My Wild Irish Rose," in English,
as encores. ,
