2—THE J-TAC Tuesday, January 15, 1957
WAY BACK WHEN. ..
Brousing through the 1947 and 1945 J-TAC's
I found ...
.Opening with a merry thought,, have you
started studying for your final exams yet?
,Anyone who knows'where Dr. Smith can find
a4telephone might drop around and tell him.
It seems he's getting pretty fed up with having
to dash out to his neighbor's house every time
he needs to phone somebody and the telephone
company hasn't been very sympathetic to his
request (for the past year and half) for . a
phone.
"What's the difference Between a lemon and
ahead of cabbage?"
"I don't liriow."
"Yon would b<* a nice' one to send out after
lemons."

three kinds of women: The beautiful, the in-
telligent, and the majority,"

Think It Over
Have you ever considered contributing; to
the United States your help in keeping alive ita
position of world leadership? Whether you
realize it or not, you are already doing just
that if you have ambition and a healthy respect
for the nation's many freedoms.
Recently, in a talk to the Los' Angeles Cham-
ber of Commerce, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr.,
chairman of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Co,,-
explained how we could help keep America
strong. Mr. Firestone is certainly in a position
to give his opiriion as he holds the distinction
of being one oft the 12 most outstanding busi-
nessmen in the United States.
To begin With, what is the source of Amer-
ica's strength? According ttf Mr. Firestone, "it
lies in our three fundamental freedoms, spin,
tual, political and economic, each one comple-
menting and reinforcing the strength of the
other. L believe that it is highly improbable' that
we could have1 progressed as <t nation along
any one of these three'lines unless we had de-
veloped simultaneously along the other two;"
Sometimes we take for granted these freedom#,
but they are the key to; the success of the UiS ;
and its leadership to other democracies:.
Possibly one' of the- freedoms- that we- are>
constantly contributing: to-' is our economic-
system.-We call' this individual- competitive;frea*1
enterprise. In other words, each one of us had1,
the opportunity to go as far as our fijraWtiona*''
will carry us. This is hardly true in cither counv
tries of limited freedoms such as those, under
Communist rule. In these countries, Which call,
themselves democracies, the people live in pov- -
erty, misery and fear. According to Mr. fire-
tone, "these countries live by false promises-
which are lavishly made by disciples eco-
nomic systems that seems, at first glance, to'
offer greater benefits to a greater number of
people." As we all know, they have failed*
miserably in the past.
We here in Tarleton should never be satis-
fied. We should always be looking for ways
and means to improve our lives, our scholastic
standings, our jobs, and our Government. This-
advice is coincided with Mr. Firestone's as he
says, "Americans are never satisfied. They are
always looking for ways and means to improve
their lives, their fortunes, their jobs and their
Government. That is one reason why we have
been such a progressive and successful nation.^'K *
As we are striving for a place in the world,
each in his own chosen profession, we will con-1
tribute our own part to the strength of the-
Unitecl States, The words of Mr. Firestone in1
his closing should be an encouragement to all'
of us as we are just beginning our climb to
success. "I say to you that there is no power"
on the face of the earth' which Can destroy the
American system of free enterprise. By each1 ^
doing our part, we can and will succeed in'
Keeping- America Strong!"—J.R.
Friendly Persuasion
Hey there, seniors—Got a minute or a dollar
you can spare?
In 1925; members of Tarleton's graduating
class contributed numerous hours of time anti-
hard work to the campus of TSC. Senior classes,
of 1928 and 1932-35 contributed -in the same
manner.
These groups excavated heavy, awkward
rocks from the Stephenville countryside, and
hauled them to town. Then came hours, weeks,
months, and years of masonry work. Although
it took five years of work these groups had
made a decisive contribution to their school.
The results are the first things seen when en-
tering the Tarleton campus, the rock walla
surrounding the grounds.
Senior classes of other schools have tradi-
tionally presented graduation gifts- to their
alma mater. Some present gifts to specific de-
partments, while some are tnade to "benefit the
entire school. One such gift is a student schol-
arship fund.
Such a fund may be the "helping hand"
needed to encourage some students to continue
school. If each, senior -could pass up one of his
daily cokes, one. movie, or one package of cigar-
ettes, some student might decide to keep trying
and not "throw in the towel."
How about it 1956-57'.grads, Got a minute
or a dollar you can spare?—R.P.
