THE J-TAC
TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1961
Congratulations!
The staff of the J-TAC wishes to join the rest of the TSC
campus in extending congratulations to the cast, orchestra, di-
rector, production staff, and everyone else who had a hand in
making "Oklahoma!" the success that it was.
This production was an all-time first for our campus, and it
demonstrated what is made possible by the cooperation of fac-
ulty, student body, and citizens.
A great deal of hard work and sacrifice went into the produc-
tion, but the rewards were many as the Main Auditorium over-
flowed both Fridy and Saturday nights.
In addition to the participating students, faculty, and citizens,
tlie entire student body is to be commended'. The percentage of
students attending the show was the largest that has attended
any event this year,
A combined effort such as this shows what Tarieton can do.
Participation Urge! in
:.All-School Function'
The All-School Function is an annual event planned for the
■enjoyment of each student. The Student Council sponsors the
program and plans it in hopes that it will appeal to everyone.
The program Saturday will have something- 011 the program
that should be enjoyable to you. A lot of money and work has
gone into the preparation so that everything will be free to the
student body.
Why not stay here this weekend and participate?

Time Is Here for
Finals Preparation
Although last-minute activities
rage on and students can still be
seen scurrying back and forth,
most of the year and its activities
have passed.
Parents' Day, "Oklahoma!", and
the big election are three of the
main activities that has just re-
cently been completed. The few
remaining ones should be wound
up this week. Sounds kind of dis-
mail, doesen't it?
Well, yes, \t does sound dismal,
but you probably won't have just
gobs of time to sit around and
worry about it, because, fellow
students, whether you know it
or not, finals are approaching.
Too Late
It is too late to try to do a
whole semester's work in two
weeks (if you'll remember, I warn-
ed you about that in one of my
first columns)but it is the right
time to start preparing for finals.
Preparation for finals shouldn't
be too difficult, provided that you
have learned the semester's ma-
terial and not copied it off your
neighbor. The first Step is prepar-
ing the correct attitude.
Attitude
Form an attitude of willingness
to accept the inevitable (exams)
and set to work. Once you get into
the next phase of the preparation,
which is the actual studying-, take
a few pointers from the people
that should know — your teachers.
Sure, most of us say that we'll
be glad to study what the teacher
says if he'll just tell us. Unfor-
tunately, he does tell us and vye
are too stupid to absorb it. All
semester instructors drop hints
and even sometimes, come I'ight
out and tell us a final exam ques-
tion. Still, we wander around say-
ing, "I don't have the faiptest
idea what will be on that test."
After you get everything organ-
iiied, get down to serious studying.
Nothing will replace it. Schedule
.your time and energy and spend
it in the right places — starting
right now!

Applications Are
Avaliable for
TSC Publications
Applications are now being ac-
cepted for positions on the two
Tarieton publications, the J-TAC
and the Grassburr. Those positions
for which students may apply now
are editor,- associate editor, and
business manager of both publica-
tions.
Application forms can be obtain-
ed from John Whiting in the Pub-
lic Information Office. The posi-
tions are open to the entire stu-
dent body, but a "B" average in
English is required for the editor-
ial positions. The students chosen
for these positions will be an-
nounced next month, after being
approved by the Student Publica-
tions Committee.
Both editor's jobs are salaried.
The rest of the staffs will be chos-
en later this year.
Evidence Lacking in
'Spectator's' Charges
In the April 21 issue of the J-
TAC, a letter to the editor signed
by a mysterious phantom which
called itself "The Spectator" ap-
peared on page two. The letter
made various charges, most of
which are inaccurate to say the
least.
In the first place, "The Specta-
tor" learned at the special Coun-
cil meeting on April 17 that the
Student Council is "not the repre-
sentative voice of Tarieton Stu-
dents," As a member of the Stu-
dent Council who has attended far
more meetings than any "Spec-
tator", I assert that the contrary
is true; the Student Council is the
representative voice of Tarieton
students.
The members of the Student
Council are an intelligent, sincere
group, and every member is in-
terested in the students. In de-
bate after debate (and there have
been many), the battle cry of both
sides thas been, "We are here to
represent the student body." Con-
trary to "The Spectator's" state-
ment, the Student Council has

not lost sight of the students:
every issue is fought with you, the
student, in mind.
Unless the "Spectator" has tak-
en a poll of the students, pro and
con, on their views of every issue,
and found that they disagree with
the Council on the majority o£
them, he cannot make such a
charge with justice on his side, .
Secondly, "the Spectator" is a
solidly fourth-rate rabble-rouser
when it comes to the subject of
tlie "railroad" which he asserts
took place in the special meeting.
It seems that "the entire Student
Council was being 'railroaded' by
one individual."
I was present at that special
meeting. Both sides received ample
opportunity to debate the runoff
issue, and both took full advant-
age of the opportunity. Debate at
the time was useless, however,
since a quorum was not present. It
seems that the President of the
Student Council would have been
justified in asking for a motion
of adjournment, since no official
Council business can be conduct-
ed without a quorum, "The Spec-
tator" did admit that there was no
quorum — in the last paragraph
of his letter.
"The Spectator's" talents as a
demagogue were made evident by
his use of the world "railroad;"
nothing makes a freedom loving
American madder than such a tac-
tic; but a "railroad" was not pre-
sent, neither in theory (How can
a meeting which is forbidden by
lack of a quorum to do business bo
"railroaded?") hor in fact, (As
was said above, each side express-
ed its views at length).
Last, there was the sigmiture,
I won't dwelL at length here on
anonymous .letters. Suffice it to
say that any person who brings
charges as - serious as those dis-
cussed above hould have the cour-
age to sign his. name, unless he or
she realizes that those charges
are false.

saving of 270,000 lives — or half

nosis and prompt treatment could
