Many Types of Contribution .Are
Suggested by. Students
It was quite a popular expression
last we'ek to hear, "What. are yon
going .to suggest as-, a Senior memor-
ial! in your Senior English tiieme?"
The answers w,ere. quite varied. The
Senior English faculty., found.-that
there- were some suggestions • oftered
of very useful, apd original memor-
ials.' Those receiving the greatest
amount of support are as follows, ac-
cording to the number of votes-each
received: the . lighting system,-, the
loan, fund, books for the library, or-
namental seats, paving of the street
by the gym,' gates at the north en-
trance, advertisements for the col-
lege, beautification, of th<j campus,
fountains, (ind the printing press
fund.' ' ' !
There, .were alao many suggestions
for,. riiethods of raising money to
nieet,these funds. Besides.this prac-
tically every one indicated a atnclent.
donation, the majority of them fa-'
voring a' live-dollar donation, bub a
large, minority of them -favoring a
Smaller donation on account of

The Tarleton College Band,' under
the direction "of Mr. Hunew'ell,' will
givq its regular ' annual concert at
the college auditorium at 4:00; Sun-
day afternoon. The .concert-is . to be
of a, Christmas nature, and it is. ex-
pected to be very entertaining. :' .
Every one is cordially invited to
be present to hear more of the pro-
duction of. our. local college, talent. '■
The most interesting, sports event
fo the ; season (so far as the boys
were Concerned) was the basketball
game' between the Junior and pho
Senior girls last. Wednesday , night.
The Senior girls displayed much the
best., basketball .tactics,-' although
both teams fought hard. The final
■score was 38-4 in favor of the Sen:
iora. • ' ■ ,
Never , has an' event, caused sf>
much- comment 'or -excitement. Al-
most the entire -student body was
present,. and the pep shown was un-
surpassed. .
■ If we , are any judge ofopinions,
this. baskttball. game.--.wass the most
highly enjoyed event of the autumn
season. We are sure that, tot: one. of
the student body Will be contented
unless we' have another in the near
future. In short/ we are for "bigger,
better, ' arid: more girls* basketball
games."

Classes Will Probably Eecite in Hew
Building at Beginning of Next
• Semester
.,/ Por the next few weeks the work
will be rushed on the new Science
Building in order that It may be
completed, and ready for occupancy
by the beginning of the new year.
This building,' which is located" jnst
south of the gymnasium, adds much
to the appearance of the campus and
will wonderfully relieve the present
overcrowded condition iu the Science
departments.
The two lower- floors of the new
building are to'be used for labora-
tories. On the first floor will be the
Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory and
supply room, and on the "second floor
the Organic, .Analytical, 'and Photo-
graphic- Chemistry. Laboratory will
be located. Also on this floor will be
the main stock room and the balance
room. •
The. thir.d floor of the, new building'
will be. devoted' entirely to depart-
ment . offices and lecture rooms. The'
new department offices, will be a
great improvement over the present
ones in that they will give the in-
structors more space and equipment
for the efficient. discharge of their
duties.
Taking .it as' a. whole, the new
building will be a great asset to the
college. It is the fulfillment of a long
dreamed' dream and the filling "of a
much needed, want.

Deau Davis Attends Meeting of As-
S^ciation of Colleges and Secon-
dary Schools at Atlanta -
Dean J. Thomas Davis last Sunday '1
returned from .Aalanta, Ga., where
he attended' The Association of Col-
leges and Secondary Schools of the
Southern States, which met there in.'-:
its thirty-fifti convention.
■ Tb«. importance of membership in
the association is shown by the ac- '
tion taken against four Mississippi..
schools as'shown by.,the' following
clipp:ng from an Atlanta newspaper:"
"The added statement; of the ex-
ecutive committee enhanced ..the seri-' 5
ousness ■ the plight of. the foul1
schools, in pointing 'out that tlwir
position^ are equal to that: of ■
tutions .which have been denied ad- ■
mission to the association., .,
"'That condition is considered'fa-',
tal''unless adjustments are worked ■
put,' the statement continued. 'Grad-
uates of the "unrecognized institu'
tionS cannot . be : employed in tho
thousands of accredited high schools'
of the nation. Students .from the af- .
fected schools cannot gain admit-
tance to accredited medical schools, '
" 'The- ruling means that the insti- ,
tutions will h'o a hindrance tp the _
students instead of a help. Svety
student who desires to transfer irom ■
unrecognized colleges to one of the* ■
highest institutions of America must
establish his individual claim.'"
Tarleton. students can rejoice "in- -
the fact that Tarleton is a member .
of the association,, thus affording '
them all the privileges given to
members of the association.
