Tarleton Country Club Down Under
course
By Brig Lopez III
Staff Writer
Tarleton's latest attraction is
the new and improved game room
located down stairs of the Tarleton
Center. The game room, known
as the Tarleton Country Club
Down Under, is also referred to as
the T.C.C. The T.C.C.
underwent some renovations this
past summer. These changes were
primarily conducted in order to
attract a more diverse group of
students.
Paul Patton, an employee at
the T.C.C. stated, "There have
been some great improvements in
the game room." Patton feels that
the renovated game room has
begun to attract more female
students, who have found
themselves really enjoying the
different games that are offered.
Another added attraction is a mural
on one of the walls which was
painted by Christy Carpenter.
A new item that can be found
in the new game room is a
; miniature golf course. Patton and
his wife constructed the golf
course during the summer. The
golf course consists of 18 holes.
The cost for anyone interested in
playing 18 holes is $1.50.
Anyone wishing to|-play a second
round of golf can |do so for only
$1.00. Those only wishing to
play 9 holes would pay $1.00.
According to Patton, if enough
people show an interest for a
tournament, the probability of
having one would be high. Entry
fees for the tournament would be
required to raise money for prizes.
One possible prize is a ski trip if
enough entries are received. A
golf driving cage will also be an
added attraction. Plans are being
made to open it in the late Fall or
the early Spring.
Other activities found at the
T.C.C. are video games, billiards,
air hockey, spades, dominoes,
table tennis and snooker. Newer
and more sophisticated video
games are also now available at
the T.C.C. Billiards, snooker,
and table tennis can be played for
a small fee of 2 cents per minute
per person, with a minimum cost
of fifty cents. Tournaments will
also be made available for all the
other activities. The T.C.C. also
has a television for those who are
interested in that form of
entertainment.
Students who find themselves
having a few hours to spare
between classes will find the
recreational room open at various
hours. The T.C.C. is opened
seven days a week. Every monday
through Thursday, the hours are
from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Every Friday, the recreational
center opens at 9:00 a.m. and
closes at 5:00 p.m. Individuals
wishing to go on the weekend
may also do so. The T.C.C.
opens at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday
and closes at 6:00 p.m. while it
opens at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday and
shuts down at 10:00 p.m.
Anyone who is on campus
may use the game room. An
identification card such as a drivers
license or Tarleton I.D. is
required

Fraternity rush on the decline

Managing Editor
This year's men's rush netted
fifty new brothers into the Greek
system.
However large this number may
sound, it was still a bit of a disap-
pointment to the Greeks.
"Overall, this rush was worse
than last year's," said Travis Still-
well, Delta Chi president. "Except
for a few certain groups the number
were way down this year."
The Delta Chi's achieved
the greatest number of new members
with a total of 18 new brothers. Their
fraternity stresses brotherhood, ad-
vance justice and character develop-
ment.
Next in number were the Tau
Kappa Epsilon's, or the TKE's, who
base their membership on an indi-
viduals personal quality and charac-
ter.
Eight new Greeks woe added to
Lambda Chi Alpha's roster this
semester. These young men will
promote excellence and brotherhood
among their other members.
Social and scholastic aptitude
will be promoted by the eight new
members of Lambda Chi Alpha.
Alpha Gamma Rho, a social-
professional fraternity for men study-
ing the agricultural sciences, gained
four new brothers during this rush
period.
Promoting honesty, justice and
truth will be the new duties of the
inductees into the Kappa Delta Rho
fraternity.
"We're really looking forward
to this year. There will be more
planning with the IFC and the
Panhellenic than before," said Still-
well. "We also hope for more Greek
participation in campus activities."
