Creed of a Tarletonite !
I believe in Tarleton, not thdt there are not other schools witfi admir-
able features, worthy of a student's allegiance but for me Tarleton is
Jhe best school on earth. I love her professors; I believe in her students,
in their desire for the best and th^ir 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 se myself to their eradication; not to 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 hand of Providence is clearly discernible in Tarleton's
history and that full recognition and place should be given God in our
school life. v

College Presidents Comment on Value
Of Junior Colleges in Future Education
* Are too' many people going to college?
Most university heads privately agree there are, but the
many an$ complex 'obstacles in the way of trimming enroll-
ment to size are baffling them. The basic problem confront-
ing higher education in the United States, the Staurday Ev-
ening Post says in its report, "Is Education Getting Too Big?",
is the degree to which boys ^nd girls, unqualified in mentality
and training for university education, are demanding admis-
sipn, •
President Robert $proul, of the University of California with
40,000 full-time students, suggests as a' partial solution more
definite restrictions on university admissions, according to the
Post article. He wants junior-college systems expanded to pro-
vide "opportunities for those not qualified to work on the uni-
versity level"
Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins, of the University of Chica-
go, recently called for sweeping revision of the nations' educa-
tional1 system. Most students should go to junior colleges, not
to universities, he said. In order to persuade them not to go
on, he recommended that they be awarded a bachelor's degree
at the age of eighteen or twenty.—From "The Saturday Even-
ing Post".
Constant Vigilance JSIecessary to Help
Reduce Constant Danger of Fires Here
The many wooden buildings on the Tarleton campus, togeth
with the extreme dryness of the weather present a fire hazard
With so many students on the campus, carlessness could easily
result in a disastrous fire.
Containers for cigarette butts are provided in all of the
buildings for those who wish to smoke between classes. If
these are used by- every smoker, the danger of fire from this
cou'ree will practically disappear.
However, one careless student could undo these precautions
by simply dropping a lighted cigarette or match on the dry
grass or by some other thoughtless act. Special care should be
taken in the dormitories also. Live ashes dropped in a full
waatebasket, for instance, could easily lead to l'ire,
* The full cooperation and watchfulness of every student on
the campus is necessary to reduce the ever-present danger of
fire. * '
New Traffic Regulations Will Relieve
Congestion With Drivers' Cooperation
✓
In order to relieve the traffic congestion prevalent on the
Tarleton campus in the past, new traffic regulations have
been' put in effect, with D. W. Gaines, day guard and police-
man, on hand to see that they are complied with.
College officials, in asking for the cooperation of drivers,
warn that unless the rules are followed, all parking on the
campus rti'ay -be prohibited. Student who wish to make condi-
tions here safer and more orderly will not hesitate to make
.sincere efforts to carry the new rules out to the letter.
The rules ai*e, briefly, the prohibition of parking on the post
office street, except for a short time when stopping for mail,
and the use -of- only the south side of the military drive or the
two parking lots south of the post office for parking vehicles.
Every Student Needs to Know How to
Use Tarleton's Library Correctly
Every student should know the particulars of how to use the
library. Tarleton's library, one of;the best junior college librar-
ies in the state, is a ready source of information on almost any
BiiJjject.
Every subject in the curricula of a student will at some-
time require the use of the library. With this thought in mind,
official's of the colege provide for detailed instructions on its
use for new'students by Miss Thompson, head librarian.
In addition to these first instructions, competent librarians
are on hand at al times to help the individual student with his
particular library problems. Now students should not hesitate
to ask questions and solicit help from any of those in charge
at the library. ✓ /

Well, here I am—ready'or not!
It's great to see the campus full
of people again. The football boys
have been around for some time
holding twice daily workout get-
ting in shape for the game with
Clifton on the 19th.* Seems they
made time with the freshman girls
during the week head start they
had. Bill Gee was in fine howling
form, judging from the "chick", a
cute one at that, by name of Pat
Dolan, we see him squiring around.
Vic "Cookie" Chemali • has 'been
giving Jerry Williams quite'a rush
on the dance floor; is it just the
love of dance? Jo "the face" Npr-
man bowled "little Dawson", over,
but completely.

g'anization prospects. "The Far-
mers" were hosts at some of the
outstanding events last year. How
well we remember the ranch dance
after the rodeo, and the mulligan
stew I
A perfect beginning for the
freshmen was the Dean's recep-
tion. An informal good time was
had by all. Patsy Waddill added to
f-he festivity with her renditions on
the "88".

present this year as usual; among
them are Martha- Keller, Jean
'Whitfield, and Pat Hennessee. Yen,

'have to look up the boys; I didn't
have time, drat it!

are mroe, too many to mention, but
you will be seeing them around.
, Mariana and Peggy didn't look
'so peppy after leading yells last
Wednesday night; they did a fine
iob judging from the noise. Let's
keep it up!
How 'bout those dances? Let's
have more, just like them. 'Spec-
ially the Saturday night hop; it
definitely calls for more of the
same.
Bill - Dudley best bow from the

cool, Dudley?
"Local Yokels" Casey and Cam-
eron have been showing off the
old home town with emphasis on
the roadside parks. Do they com-
pare with those in California, Jo
and Joy?
Was Nash noticing the new long
skirts or just looking for bobby
sox? He likes them; in fact, he
likes them so well he takes the
wearer swimming—on-a rainy day,
well, he said he was going swim-
ming.
Jackson's Uncle Ed is sick, and
I have to see the boys off, so bye
'til next week.
