How to Be Popular? 'Own a
By LANNON REED
Did you know that there are
about 45 students here at Tarleton
who can either afford to have a
car of their own or manage to con-
vince their parents that if they
don't bring- the family car to-TSC
with them they will undoubtedly
fail? '
. There are 45 cars registered in
the Registrar's office. This figure
does not include the instructors'
cars, just the students'. It does not
include the ears of the commuter
students from Dublin and other
nearby towns. Neither does it in-
clude the cars of the Stephenville
students. • . .
Of the cars registered, the
Chevrolets and Fords are the most
popular of the brands. There are
16 Chevrolets and 15 Fords. There
are also 3 Plymouth^, 2 Mereurys,
2 Buicks, 2 Pontiacs, 1- Chrysler,
- Dodge and 1 Nash, There are
two pick-ups, one Dqdge and one
G.M.C.
What do these students do with
their cars'? One of the most im-
portant tasks these cars perform
is helping t their owners make
friends. Anybody that has a car
has friends. Some of the people
that have ears are. our most popu-
lar students.
The boys have another use for
their cars. This is, of course,, going
on dates. It is much easier to get
a date with some of these raving
beauties on the campus if you have
a car.
Still another use for these cars
is going to the movie at Dublin,
The reason the boys like to go to
Dublin is because they do not have
to wear their uniforms. Some of
the girls like to go over-there so
their old boy friends will not see
them with the new love of their
life. It is just thirteen miles to
Dublin aftd they have, sonie good
movies over there quite often. They
Another bad point is that it some-
also have a "Quiz -Night" every
Tuesday night and give away
money. Ask Frances Mote.
Students with cars do not have
to stand around waiting- for the
city bus or walk to town if they
do nift have a dime,
.Of course every good thing must
have its bad points. The bad part
about having a car is the expense,
times keeps a student from study-
ing* when he is out riding around.
