AROUND THE CAMPUS
By DERETTA WALKER
Creed of a Tarletonite
I believe in Tarleton, not that there are not other schools with admir-
able features, worthy of a student's allegiance but for me Tarleton is
the best school on earth. I love her professors; I believe in her^tudents,
in their desire for the best and their ability to realize it in their life.
I believe it is my duty to support Tarleton in everything; not to be
blind to her faults but to set myself to their eradication; not tp expect
of my school any higher conduct than of myself as an individual, but
to make my conduct conform to the highest ideals.
I believe'in Tarleton's mission, a mission in every good movement.
I believe the fiand of Providence is clearly discernible in Tarleton's
history and that full recognition and place should be given God in our
school life.
Spirit and Sportsmanship Determine
The Attitude of Others Toward Tarleton
Whs±* was one of the deciding factors in Knute Rockne's car-
eer?. Notre Dame's spirit. What is Tarleton going to do for Coach
Flory and the "Plowboys"? Tarleton's spirit is widely known;
the students should keep it known, and along with recognition
should be admiration.
What (y:e,ates a more favorable attitude toward a school than
a clean fighting team, with an enthusiastic, student body pos-
sessing the true qualities of sportsmanship backing it? What is
true sportsmanship? Accepting without comment all decisions
made by the officials, no matter how unfair they seem, maintain-
ing a cheerful attitude regardless of the score and accepting de-
feat with a smile and good will toward the victor is not only true
sportsmanship, but true Tarleton style.
Tarleton's friendliness is something to be proud of, bo why
not show it off? AH Tarleton knows how great it really is, so
the next place to start is with Tarleton's visitors. This campus
will be hosts to' five visiting schools this football season, and
friendliness is to be the key note.
The students and the campus decorations are to make all
visitors welcome; it is being left up to the football team to wish
they had never come.
Utopian Club to be Reorganized
By Miss Mahan as Social Club
The pending re-organization of the Utopian'Club under the
direction of Miss Pearl Mahan, retired head of the English De-
partment, should arouse great interest among students-interest-
ed in any phase of culture, music, and literature.
First organized early in 1939 by the-English Department with
forty-five members, the club has sponsored numerous socials in
addition to a lively delving into plays, comedies, mystery novels,
and contemporary literature of the southwest, all combined with
a touch of art and music.
Several students now enrolled in Tarleton after serving in
England, have expressed interest in Shakespeare, since njany of
them have visited his home and viewed hi3 relics. This should
prove an interesting topic for several programs to be presented
by these veterans. Miss Mahan, sponsor of the club, has had ex-
tensive evperienee with all phases of literature, having studied
abroad before serving as head of the Tarleton English Depart-
ment for more than twenty years.
Any student who is present at the first meeting tonight will
find awaiting him a rare treat and a profitable experience—as
well a$ loads of fun—memories of which will be cherished long
after his active membership has ended.
Watch Those Cigarettes Because Where
There is Smoke There May be Fire
Watch that cigarette. It may start a ..fire. The administration
has tried not to make a lot of hard and'fast rules, but is depend-
ing on the common sense of student th&iiselves.
Butt-cans have been placed at the entrance of all buildings and
they are the ideal place for that lit sig^rrette. Smoking will not
be permitted in classrooms or in most buildings ^however, if a
butt-can is in sight then you know that smoking is permissible.
The dormitories are the homes of .the'students' and-as such
smoking is permissible in them. It would be well to remember,
however, that fire may not so readily respect your right of
privacy.
, Be careful! If the rack burns out from under your hat, you may
not be able to find a new place to hang it.
Blow your own horn—even if you don't sell a clam.—American
proverb.
Well, here I ajpi again, the super-
snooper back to give you the latest
gossip. If YOU are tempted to do
anything that'you don't want print-
ed, you had better think twice and
not do it because, "I" get around.
