J. T. A, C. ENTERTAINS
N, T. A, C. WITH BANQUET
%
i '
. Last Friday after our,, boys had
lost a gloriously foughti football
game to the North Texas Agri-
cultural College of Arlington, the
Tarleton students gave the mem-
bers of each team a banquet never
to be forgotten 'at the Tarleton
dining "hall.
- At seven o'clock, the boys were
called to the dining hall. Seated
at the first, table were; Dr. Biz-
zell, president of the Texas Agri-
cultural amd Mechanical Colleges;
Dean Williams, of N, T. A. C.;
Dean Davis, of Tarleton College;
Mrs. Davis; and Mr. and Mrs.
Moody. The' boys sat alternately,
a Tarleton man in one chair, a N.
T. A. C. man in the next at the
other six tables.
The tables were decorated with
large American beauty roses.
Their beauty was added to by
both charm'and attraction of Tar-
leton girls waiting upon the, ta-
bles. Each girl was dressed in
white and there was a girl to each
table.
After a blessing by Dr. Bizzell
the banquet began. And such a
meal! Fried chicken, cream gra-
vy, creamed peas, potato chips,
Kot rolls, fruit salad, iced tea,
nutted prunes with whipped cream
and ice cream and cake. To add
spice to the mea), popular music
was furnished by Agee, pianp;
Davis, corilet; Braeuer, trombone;
and Jones, drums. The orchestra
~ played,, pieced ranging from, "The
§we«test of Sigjna Chi,' 'to "The
Old Gray Mare," ;
PUBLIC SPEAKING DEPART-
MENT TO GIVE PROGRAM
tH& 'orchestra and for the cook.
After the banquet addresses
were made by Dr. Bizzell and
Dean Williams. Dr. Bizzell com-
mented upon the . noble spirit of
N. T. A. C. and .Tarleton and of
the sportsmanship of the loosers,
as well as the ;modesty of the vic-
tors ; Dean Williams expressed ap-
preciation for the glorious enter-
tainment and the royal' treatment
td his students; Dean Davis ex-
pressed our joy in benig honored
by. their presence.
The entertainment closed, with
"On Ye Tarleton" played by the
orchestra and sung by oyr boys
and girls present.
TARLETON STUDENT BODY
TO GO TO THE DALLAS FAIR
The readers of the J-Tac will be
glad to know that the Public
Speaking department, under the
direction of Miss Lillard, is plan-
ning to give several dramatic
sketches.
"The Littlest Rebel" by Edward
Peple, will perhaps be the feature
of the evening. The time of the
play is during the Civil War. Roy
Ward will portray the part of
Herbert Cary, who is a spy. Ann
Ferguson is charming as Virginia
Cary, the littlest rebel and Horace
Murry has the part of Colonel
Morrison,
"A Consensus of the Compe-
tent," by Dorthea Lummis may
prove of interest to the cadets, as
it will determine the "best"—
"dearest"—and "divinest" man in
Tarleton. The plot is none other
than the confidential talk of three
girls, and what could be more in-
teresting to a cadet? The three
girls are Kate, Estelle ' Gibbs;
Alice, Lynn Woodward, and Ethel,
Clara Sue Williamson.
Other than these there will be
special music and a one act play,
"The Trysting Place," by Booth
Tarkington. The date for this pro-
gram will be announced next
week.
SENIOR HOME SNAP SHOTS
At four o'clock Saturday morn-
ing "October "20,■ a special train,
the Tarleton College and Erath
County special train will leave
Stephenville for the Dallas Fair.
Almost the entire student body
from the College and large num-
bers of people from town and
Erath county will go. The train
will r^ach Dallas- about eight
o'clock. The students will go di-
rectly from the Union station to
the Fair Grounds.
The cadet battalion will parade
sometime during the day. They
are drilling hard every day to get
in readiness for the parade and
are making good progress.
The students who made the trip
last year remember it ^s a very
enjoyable one. Tickets are on sale
at the business manager's office.
Students who intend to go should
get them not later than Thursday.
STUDENTS' COUNCIL MEET
At "the, meeting of the Students'
Council Wednesday, October 10,
1923, the remaining officers for
the"1923-24 terms were elected:
Faculty adviser for Annual, Miss
Hewitt.
Circulation manager for J-Tac,
Reginalds Fiddler,
At this meeting the question! of
electing, an assistant yell leader
wag put before the Council. Agee
of Hico was nominated and unani-
mously elected,
The "home atmosphere" was pre-
dominant in the Senior-Home Sun-
day. Due" to th'e inclemency of the
weather wei were uuable to u-oemi
Sunday school or church.
After venturing out in tW tam
long eriough toitistle some coal
and kindling we .'built a merry,
crackling fire in the grate in the
reception room. All the girls gath-
ered around, and hours passed by
happily in the recounting of inter-
esting adventures and sentimental
escapades. Perhaps the most en-
joyable part of the time was the
"eats." We had sandwiches, hot
chocolate, and other good things.
We were all glad to return to the
hearth after eating dinner in the
cold "Dump," Quiet hour was ob-
served by the fire with the strictest
rigidity imaginable. Quietness
reigned supreme until Mrs. Moody
came to complete our family circle
and to add to our delight by bring,
ing marshmallows to be toasted.
But she was, not content with this
demonstration of her affection, but
arranged for us to make fudge.
Shortly after Annie began to
play and we all "jined in on de
chorus." We were singing the "01'
Gray Mare Ain't What She Used to
Be," and at this critical moment
Roline stepped out and the words
spontaneously changed to Ro-
line's Hair Ain't What it Used to
Be"—for while we were inter-
ested in other things she had slip-
ped away to be "shorn of her
tresses."
"Tempus fugit," and supper was
here. This one day spent so pleas-
antly in our new home has endear-
ed it to us more than anything else
could have.
Helon Russell accompanied her
friend, Louise Driskill, to Hico Fri-
day and remained until Sunday.
Jimmie D. Inzer spent the week-
end in De Leon.
Mary Doyle was a guest of Katy
George Parker Saturday night.
Clara Sue spent the week-end
with Roline.
Neville Nowlin spent Saturday
and Sunday at her home in Glen
Rose.
TARLETON LOSES TO GRUBBS DR. STEELE ADDRESSES
THE STUDENT BODY
In a hard fought football game
The North Texas Junior Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College of
Arlington, Texas, won from Tarle-
ton 14 to 0. Tarleton outplayed
the visitors for three quarters, but
lost the game in the fourth quar-
ter when Martin slipped thru
tackle for eighteen yards for a
touchdown, A few minutes later,
Holmes intercepted a pass and ran
thirty yards for a touchdown. Lee
kicked goal both times.
The Tarleton team put up a
wonderful fight against the more
experienced team from Grubbs.
Stover played a great game at
center. He recovered several
fumbles, and stopped plays on the
line of scrimmage time after time.
Mulloy and Jennings played their
positions at end in wonderful
style. Jennings was a tower of
strength on the defense, and made
many tackles. The other linemen
were fighting every minute and
opened good holes in Grubbs' line.
Carlton and Kay played steady
games in the back field. Carlton's
punting kept the ball in Grubbs'
territory most of the time.
Hampton, although handicapped
by a weak knee, received. in the
S. M. U. game last year, made
good gains. ' Hunt, also, con-
tributed nice gains.
Stamey and Coleman, two.Tarle-
ton Exes, made quite 'spectacular'
speeches in chapel last Saturday"
morning. We were glad to see
these familiar faces among our
number once more and judging
from appearances they were some-
what glad to be back.

(Continued on page 4)
'"Stand by your conscience, be
loyal to your principle," said l)r.
Steele in an address to the student
body Monday morning, October 8.
There is a defiinite line between
right and wrong. Your conscience
is aware of that line and when
you overstep it to do evil your
conscience warns you. "You must
exercise moral courage or fall
down," warns Dr. Steele. It is a
law of nature that a muscle or a
quality will atrophy if it. is. not
exercised, if it is not used.
In the main Dr. Steele's address
was humorous, but running thru
the whole fabric was an earnest
admonition, to "be loyal to your
ideal." To illustrate his point he'
told the story of the four Jews
who were carried prisoners to
Babylon. Daniel was a boy who
was loyal to his ideal, a boy of
strong character,
"That every man has his price
is1 a lie," said Dr. Steele. "Some
men .cannot be bought for any
price." Have faith in yourself
and in mankind. Learn to rely
upon yourself and not upon what
your ancestors were or did. When
Napoleon's ancestors were men-
tioned to him he replied, "I am an
ancestor." We are all ancestors.
Let us be ancestors that our pos-
terity will be proud of. Let us
not sell ourselves for fickle popu-
larity
Dr. Steele told of an incident in
his own life in which he refused
to 'jompromise his loyalty to a
'promise which .1,1 had made to his
mother. "When principle iv in-
volved shove etiquette aside," he
said.' .
To the boys Dr. Steele said,
"Cultivate sentiment," and to the
girls he said, "Y6ung ladies, use
your influence well over men."
"Loyalty to conscience means
character, means strength. St^nd
by your conscience, be loyal to
your principle."
The annex to the girls' dormi-
tory is progressing at a good pace.
When it is completed we shall
have one of the cosiest and most
comfortable dormitories' to be
found anywhere. And with Mrs.
Moody to make it nice and. home-
like for the girls, it will be a hap-
py place. Tt is hoped that it will
be ready for occupancy by the
first of the year. • Then those
girls who have been rooming in
the hospital can move into the
dormitory. Luckily we have been
such .a healthy bunch so far that
there ha3 been little need for the
hospital, hence we could afford to
use it as an annex. Still, we want
to have a place for people to go in
case they do get si.ckj so we shall
be glad when the annex (is com-
pleted.
JIM TARLETON

TO FAIR VISITORS
When you go to the Fair Satur-
day you must go to the agricultur-
al building down beyond the
grand stand where the exhibits of
all the schools of the A. & M. sys-
tem are placed. The first one you
come to is that of the senior insti-
tution, and represents in minia-
ture the entire plant as it is situ-
ated on the campus at A. & M, The
next is Grubbs with displays of
various kinds of work done in that
school.. Third is Tarleton's ex-
hibit, which occupies three booths.
The first of these is a representa-
tion of a living room, furnished
with a set made by the boys of the
manual arts department. The
center booth is a music room,
where Harry Braeuer at the piano
and Garnett Froh at the marimba
make music that reminds you of
the chapel at Tarleton when there
Is company , and we try to put on
something extra good. The third
booth is devofed to exhibits from
the manual arts,' th^ agricultural,
Froh's marimba.
. Reports from var^/us -avuitfea
concezming- our- College exhibit at
the'Austin Fair state that it was
the' best school exhibit in the
whole Fair. ■-.>
One of the visiting girls at the
game Friday said to one of our
girls; "Well, we just have to hand
it to your bunch that you are the
best sports we have ever seen
when it comes to losing." Now
that is what we. like to hear. Any-
body who is anybody at all can be
gracious when lie is winning, but
it takes a lot of grace to lose, and
still be generous and gracious
about it.

WE MAKE A SPECIALTY
of handling accounts of Students
of this College , ,
Mr. Funkhouser, Mrs. Chamber-
lin, and Hariy Braeuer drove over
to Dallas early Saturday morning.
Mr. Funkhouser and Mrs, Cham- _
berlin went to put the finishing
touches on our exhibit at the Fair,
while. Harry went to play the
piano accompaniments to Garnett
and the home economics depart-
ments. Be sure to see all of these
displays, because you may not yet
know how many kinds of work are -
done in our College.
Beyond Tarleton's exhibit is
that of the Prairie View school
for colored people, Their display
is very interesting, and certainly
is a creditable showing.
When you are looking at all
thes.e exhibits do not forget that
they represent the workings of the
largest school system in the world
that of the A. & M. College of'
Texas,
One of the very pleasantest
smells that has greeted our elfac-
tory nerves lately was that of the
steam pipes and radiators when
the heat began to sing through
them last Monday. It is comfort-
ing to know that the stupendous
task of relaying the steam pipes
is almost completed. These pipes
are now laid in large earthenware
conduits and surrounded with as-
bestos so as to yield ninety per
cent of heat. The cost of this im-
provement has been more than
eight thousand dollars. We can
now get something like our mon-
ey's worth out of the- coal we
burn. When the new brick smoke
stack is finished the system will
be so efficient that every, building.
connected with the heating plant
can be kept at an even and com-
fortable temperature. Then- there
will be no more blue 'iiosea or
chilly toes, but all will be as warn,
as. toast.-. -c.
The ever-faithful hissing, push-
ing crowding, steam was, a wel-
come visitor in a few of the build-
ings this - week, ■.■--■•rvr'■
