CONSTRUCTION BEGUN ON
DINING HALL ANTE-ROOM
A new reception room is now be-
ing- constructed between the two
wings of the dining hall. The work
on this new project started Wed-
nesday with the removal of the
shrubbery in front of the dining
hall. The large increase in the num-
ber of students who now dine in
the hall has made it necessary for
the original reception rooms to be
converted into dining- space Dean

70 EX-TARLETONITES
Tarleton Students* Mingle With Old
Friends and Former Classmates
In College Here
By WAYNE COWAN
"If you can't move Texas Uni-
versity up to Tarleton, then bring
Tarleton down to Texas." That is
what the ex-Tarletonites here in
Texas University are thinking' and
saying these days while cx-Plow-
boys are found on the Longhom
campus as never before, Ex-Tarle-
tonites are here, there, and every-
where about the campus and the
town,
I registered, and Louise Barelc-
man and Morris Davis, J-Tac
editor of 1035, were there to help.
I bought books and supplies; A. I),
Livingston and Bo Allen sold them
to me. I ate, and Charles Langdon,
Billy Webb, or Hinds Thomas serv-
ed me. I sent my suit to the tailor,
and Neill Dancer waited on me. I
checked a book from the library;
Bill Merrill and Loyd Pickett both
were ready to bring it to me. In
looking over the new football pros-
pects, I found the names of Gray,
Smiley, Ford, Jenkins, Collins,
Todd, and Simms. On the varsity
and regarded by many experts to
be one of the outstanding players
in the country this year was Wolfe,
another tx-Plovvboy. On the bask-
etball team Tate and Baxter share
the limelight turned oil Tarleton
exes.
When I went to see about my
own job, I applied to Weldon Hart,
J-Tac sports editor in 1928.
if I become ill and have to enter
a hospital, it is likely that Mar-
garet Logan or Mary Catherine
Funk will take down my name.
Turning from the working side
of the picture to the social side,
there are at least thi-ee ex-Tarlfc-
tonit.es in fraternities and sorori-
ties—by name, Grady Morrow, Ele-
anor Tagg-art, and John Ed Harri-
son. In short Tarletonites are here
in quantity ant! quality, mixing1 in-
to the very life of the University
in much the same genial manner
which carried them through their
former college.
Arriving' here late Thursday af-
ternoon, it didnt take long to dis-
cover that the Plowboys were here.
When Elmo White, a Tarleton stu-
dent in 11)32, and I stopped the car
on the "drag-," which is So the Uni-
versity what Tarleton Avenue id to
Tarleton, ex-Plowboys came from
every direction. Bill Merrill amb-
led across the stivet with an arm-
load of books, looking as usual like
the satisfied lawyer who has out-
witted his opponents. W. C. Sell-
man, last year's business manager
of the J-Tac, came with his
rcugh and ready way, including a
healthy hack-slap and his, "Whei-
e've you been, Brooksie? We've
boon watching for you two days."
While on the other side was his old
rival, Norman "Chick" Malone,
former business manager of the
Grassburr, He looked worried, and
we finally discovered that his only
trouble was in worrying over what
Blalock would catch this year in the
way of troubles. Curtis Meeks, the
modern Daniel who coached the
girls' rifle team last year, and Ar-
chibald Wilkinson also strength-
ened the feeling- of Tarleton at-
mosphere.
Monday morning I attended my
first class, and Claiborne Friou,
James Wilkerson, and Jack Faun-
tleroy were with me. Which re-
minds me! The last time I saw
Fauntleroy he was pitching bridge
cards at an empty shoe, with one
successful pitch out of a deck, en-
titling him to a malted milk at the
expense of his roommate, Malone.
When Billy Webb arrived here,
had trouble locating his trunk,
which he had shipped ahead. After
a tiresome search he discovered it
he had trouble locating his trunk,
slight miss of its intended mark.
Tuesday Jack Fauntleroy and I
had started into Sutton Hall to
change some courses when we dis-
covered quite a gathering of stu-
dents off to one side of the etl-
in a Jewish fraternity house—a
trance. Thinking it might be an in-
formal meeting of some Tarleton
committee, we walked over and dis-
covered Tarleton at its best with
Jiggs Griffin. Norma Rail ill', Doro-
thy Lynn Taylor, Li-wis Greshatrt,
Hinds Thomas, Levi Goodrich, and
Lewis Cunningham in attendance.
After leaving there. Jack and I
ran into another Tarleton party
consisting of Jack Smith and
Grainger Mcllhany. Later we met
Li-on Frieden, Loyd Fanning, Art
Torvie, and Orville Dermis. At an-
other building we saw Eldyss Jar-
ratt, Nell Robert, and Esther Ho-
meyer. Going to town, we met Ed-
ward Burns, brother of Lillian, and
Harvey Pistole; at the capital Tom-
my Martin was directing a car into
its parking space.
One Austin boarding house is
due to crumble at any time. It
houses Gray. Ford, Jenkins, Smiley,
Collin, Todd, six or eight former
Hchreiner athletes, and a few ex-
N". T. A. C. football players. An-
other holds Merrill, Dancer, Meeks,
Tate, and B, B. Chappell.
Yesterday I saw M. L. (Roxie)
Hays and W. B. Morgan, two ex-
Lucky Thirteen members, delaying
a street car while they argued ov-
er who would pay the fare to town.
I think Roxie, the old buddy of Ar-
lis Wyatt, finally won over the
budding- young lawyer, Morgan.
Many more exes are here; we
have counted seventy in all that we
have seen, and we are sure that
there are more. The majority are
working part time, and all seem to
be fitting into the 8,000 students
easily and naturally, with a grace
which indicates the best.
LILLARD BACK FROM NEW
YORK; OPENS MUSEUM
Miss Lillie V. Lillard, head of the
Speech Department at Tarleton,
has just returned from a summer
in New York, where she studied
Speech and Dramatic Art at Col-
umbia. Some of her graduate work
in dramatics was with Dr. Milton
Smith, who is director of the Morn-
ingside Players of Columbia Uni-
versity.
Any one interested in dramatics
is invited to inspect Miss Lillard's
dramatic Museum in the Home Ec-
onomics Building, where she has
displayed interesting collections,
including autographed pictures of
some of the leading stage stars of
America and England and a mod-
el stage that she made the past
summer. George Cracraft, one of
the foremost scenic designers in
New York at the present time, is
sending some sketches soon to the
Lillard Museum.
Miss Lillard states that she
spent her spare time all summer
visiting costume and scenic houses
in New York, interviewing stage
stars, and inspecting backstage
scenery of the leading' Broadway
plays, and attending one of the
plays.

For hundreds of years,
the Persians have known the secret of fine
flavor. In the dead of night a Persian "melon-
diviner" may wake up his wealthy master to
enjoy the perfect melon■—picked by lamplight
at its exact moment of full maturity.
Zft£
Ljike the Persian melon,
the Turkish tobaccos used in Chesterfield
are watched day and night.
There is just one right time to take off
the leaves...that's when they have ripened
to their fullest flavor.
Often the tender ripe leaves are gathered
just before the dawn...to preserve the full
"spice" and aroma for Chesterfield.

From our own Southland we take mild, ripe

then we go 4000 miles to the fertile shores of
the Mediterranean for the fine flavor and
aroma of Turkish tobaccos. These tobaccos
give Chesterfields their milder better taste.
