Oratorical Contest to
Be Held Next Week
TarletoniLes—did you realize
that there are only C5 more days
in which to enjoy this year of col-
lege life? The next 65 days deter-
mine whether you puss or fail, and
you should make the most of your
minutes from now until the last
day of May. Are you going' to
waste this time or give it the due
consideration that it should re-
ceive? Gang1! Let's make our work
even if it does cost us a few mo-
ments of anticipated pleasure.
Students—do you notice how
crowded the postoifice is every
morning- at the 8:00 o'clock hour?
Don't, you think that it would be
much better if we kept moving, or
went in to the store to do our talk-
ing ? It would facilitate the re-
ceiving of the mail and save many
bruised toes.
Fellows—don't you think the
Dean would appreciate it, as well
aa the poor victim of your ap-
plause if everyone, ;would refrain
from clapping his hands after some
announcement? There is seldom a
day that there is not a visitor sit-
ting at the rear of the auditorium
or even sometimes there is one on
the stage. Think for a few minutes
and clap only 'for the most ap-
plausable things. Remember peo-
ple always form opinions from the
first impressions. What do you say
boy". ? Thank you.
Gang! The track season is here
and what are you going to do?
Yea supported the football team
in defeat and helped the boys
bring home the bacon in the race
for the basketball championship.
Are you going to desert the Plow-
boys now or are you going out and
help the boys get the State cham-
pionship again? We need that cup
in our collection. Gang! Let's be
out there and bring the boys wear-
ing the purple and white over the
tape first. Gig1 'em Plowboys!

ed to attend and report on one
literary and one athletic event.

mendable work under his expert
supervision. Thi cbjei.-' cf studying i
this work is to equip the prospec-
tive teachers with a thorough
knowledge of how to organize and
carry on an Interscholastic League
meet. This experience will prove
very beneficial to the prospective
teachers.

R. J. BLAIR.
By an order becoming effective
March 18 the cadets are given the
privilege of wearing the khaki cat-
ton shirts. Either the wool or the
cotton shirts may be worn until
the first of April, but after that
date the cotton shirt must be
worn.'This comes as a welcome an-
nouncement to the cadets since the
arrival of spring has made the old
wool shirts very uncomfortable.
It will also mean a substantial
financial saving as the cotton
shirts may be laundered at a much
cheaper rate than it costs for the
wool shirts to be cleaned and
pressed.
The order was published as fol-
ows:

the fundamentals of scientific ach-
ievement and explained the atti-
tude of a scientist ..as one who de-
sires to know and have satisfying
proof of the facts upon which his
knowledge is based. Tarleton is in-
deed fortunate in having such a-

partment were extremely fortu-
nate to be able to hear such a lec-
