By ROLAND LINDSEY

Want to know how to be a hit
at Tarleton? We don't have the
complete recipe, but here are a
few tips.
First, you
must talk about
pw; ■ :-the same, thing
| V everyone else do-
,es, It is a neces-
; pity to learn to
be a good griper.
When you're in.
Mass, gripe about
Ithe homework;
fwhen you're - at
- HO land LlNDSEY '-he dorm, gripe
' about your roomie; but above all
things, gripe about -the food. It
doesn't matter if we have T-bone
steaks, firid something to gripe
about. Everyone likes to hear
somebody gripe. At least I guess
that's whey we do it all the time.
Never Speak
Next, you must learn to look
sad. No one likes somebody who
is always smiling. Smiles megs up
■ .;t nice gloomy-morning too quick,
, so don't smile. One way to keep
■ from doing this is to forget to
brush your teeth-, and thus you. will
■be ashamed to show them. Or bet-
ter still,, leave your teeth on the
dresser.
Another*, very important thing
to remember is to never apeak to
anyone until you are spoken to. If
we all followed this rule, the days
would be so quiet and peaceful.
But no, some brght person always
has. to speak and start that, noisy
, chatter every morning.
Drag Your Feet
Following these rules is a cinch
"to' niake you a hit with the stu-
dents, but what about the ins'truc-
. tors?
"t Well, we've got the inside dope
on them. The first thing to re-
member is never to He on time. If
you will wait about five minutes
after the last bell sounds, the
teacher will be sufe to notice you
as. you walk in. But don't jiist walk
in, drag your feet and make
enough noise to. awaken any sleepy
students. This will always make
you the apple of the, prof's eye.
^ , Unrelated Facts
Then, after you make your en-
trance into the class don't ask
any questions, especially about
. something you don't understand.
If you do, it will show your ignor-
ance, and we can't have that. When
you are asked a question, never
answer it directly. Try to talk as
lopg .as possible to. take up time,
arid always put in a few ..unrelated
■ facts. ...
0.00 Grade Ratio
By following these simple rules,
you can quickly become something
at Tarleton, Of course, you will
probably, not be what you want to
•be, .but you'll be ■ something; Then
after twenty .or thirty years, you
can look back at that 0.00 grade
• point ratio alid say, "There's" old
Tarleton, the first school I was
ever kicked out of."
, , This is Changing; the subject a
/little, but now that we aie in the
new semester, we all need, to re-
member this saying. "Men are di-
vided into two classed: those who
clo their best work today and for-
' get.aboul; it; and those who pro-
mise to do their best work, tomor-
row — and forget about; iti".
