NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT
Another nine weeks has started and students who did
not make very good grades for the first nine weeks have al-
ready made many, resolutions to do better. However, the stu-
dents who did good will have just as many resolutions for
keeping their work up to standard..
The beginning of the second nine weeks brings to' an end
the first fourth of this school year. Even those who had to
get adjusted to studying the college life again after the sum-
mer are now ready to really get down to work and remedy
any mistakes they have "made so far.
The end of the second nine weeks will determine whether or
not a subject will have to be taken over for eighteen weeks
next year, so now is the time to get busy. It is not too late as
yet, but there is no more time to waste.
GOOD WILL TOURS VALUABLE
Good will tours have heen made by both NTAC and JTAC
to' improve foriegn relations. There is nothing new in the fact
that NTAC has long been JTAC's bitter rival, but there could
be something new added to our feelings for that college,
■ As is well know, the Shorthorn-Plowboy game will soon be
here. Every student on the campus knows that this game is
the most important of the year. The final, score of this long-
awaited game will help determine- the spirit at Tarleton for
weeks to come, but the best thing to remember is that, regard-
less of who wins, there has been a good game played and -the
spectators have seen two teams match their skill and intelli-
gence to the highest point.
.It will be a great thing to witness if good, sportsmanship,
with no hard feelings, is shown by the losing side this year and
if the winning side is conscious of the fact that they may not
be so good next year.

CAMPUSOLOGY
BY ANN ONOMOUS
The campusology box in the post
office contained some interesting
and quaint notices this week, so
here they are, word for word.
The first notice stated in no un-
certain terms, "Free beer in girls'
dorm, compliments of Gough Hall."
Another item told this tale. Bob
Hunter is now engaged to Ann
Graham, a senior student at Steph-
enville High School.
One scrap of paper asked this
question. Who has Walter Thom-
son of San Angelo been serenading
every night at the girls' dorm? An-
other piece of paper wanted to
know, "Mary Jane and Lynn, was
boredom the reason for your trip
to Fort Worth last week-end?"
One writer wished the answer
to the question, "Why is everyone
always yelling about the lack of
school spirit, and then when we
students try to display a little
school spirit, just why. are we
promptly hushed-up?"
CHUCKLES
"How far were you from the
correct answers in that American
government test?"
"About three seats."
He (passing the candy): "Sweets
to the sweet."'
She: "Thank you. Won't you
have some nuts?"
"Do you think the chapel speak-
er put enough fire into his
speech?"
"In my opinion, he didn't put
enough of his speech into the fire."
Burdian's donkey starved to
death when placed equa - distant
between two hay stacks. He was
unable to choose which to eat first.
"BOOK WEEK" NOVEMBER 15-21,
FINDS JTAC LIBRARY PREPARED
In one sense, students can accu-
rately consider every week as
"book week'*. But keeping "books"
down to the particular material
in each course in which assign-
ments are met is pretty meager
fare. Yet, according to present
statistics, 14.4% of the student
body have withdrawn no books on
two-week charges. It is possible
that these students have used
books in the library, but they have
either1 procrastinated on the in-
evitable book report or else have
passed the book-report stage and
can view the past as escaped liter-
ature. UnlesSj of course, they be
connoisseurs, maintaining to-have-
a n d-to-hold libraries, acquired
through dilligence and dn eye for
value, and matched to the person-
ality. :
Book Week is a sort of book-
sellers' and libraries' Christmas,
and we have decorated a little in
the Library. Among other things,
Booster Club To
Award Footballs
To SHS Players
At a regular weekly meeting of
the Stcphenville Athletic Booster
Club Monday night at 7:30 in
the American Legion Hall, mem-
bers voted to present a gold foot-
ball to the outstanding- backfield
player, and one to the outstanding
lineman, on the Stephenville High
School football squad.
The presentation will be made at
the close of the regular season,
probably at a football banquet for
the Yellow Jackets.
BoQsters sponsored a bus to the
Stephenville-Mineral Walls game
in Mineral Wells Friday night, A.
C, Robbins, owner and manager of
the City Bus Lines, drove one of
his buses to the game, leaving here
at 6:20 p.m. and returning short-
ly before midnight.
we've gotten out our stock of the
50 Notable Books of 1947. It's a
time for candies and nuts, mince
and cherries not just pickles. You
wouldn't eat just pickles-or con-
fine your mental diet to exclude
the morsels, which are as delec-
table as specialties in Antoine's
or the Waldrof. If you were in
New Orleans or New York and
could go to these places and dine
for free, wouldn't you? We wish
we had i#ore new dishes to offer
on this special occasion (we boast
a goodly few) but our array-new,
and just as good—will have some-
thing for you, if you want to get
your for-free's worth* Old hands
at book borrowing need no special
introduction to Book Week. In
another sense, every week1 is "bonk
week" to them, but for them we
commemorate November 15-21 by
reiterating how glad we are they
fare well.

JUST LOVELY!
You sing a little song or two
You have a little chat;
You make a little candy fudge
And then you take your hat.
You hold her hand and say
Godnight as sweetly as you can;
Now, ain't that a heck of an even-
ing
Fof a fine, big healthy man.
