the C. II. Hale Chapter of th«
Texas Student Education Associa-
tion in San Antonio on March 10,
11 and 12, at the state convention
of that association.
The program consisted of
speeches and workshops, planned
individually1 by various schools in
the association, of which the Tar-
leton representatives spoke favor-
ably.
This being Tarleton's first year
in the association, it gained re-
cognition as one of three colleges
in the state to have a full page in
the state scrapbook.
The convention began with a
"mixer" in the Crystal Ballroom
of the Hilton Hotel, where the Tar-
leton students and their sponsor,
Mrs, Vance Terrell, were guests.
The host -school, Trinity Univer-
sity, sponsored a guided tout' of
the campus and many places of in-
terest in San Antonio.
On Saturday, Mary Alexander,
President of the Texas State
Teachers Association, impressed
her audience with her -speech on
the importance of teaching. She
included parts of her travels in
Europe and Russia to stress the
superiority of some phases of edu-
cation in America.
The state officers of the organi-
zation summarized their accom-
plishments of the past year before
the meeting' was closed on Satur-
day afternoon.

was. the commotion created about
12:30 Friday, March 18. It was
the Tarleton State College Choir
and Stag'e Band beginning their
journey to Fort Hood in Killeen to
entertain the personnel on the
base.
As the two chartered commercial
buses arrived at the Service Club,
they were met and ecorted to the
base hospital by two WACS. Here
tho choir informally sang- to the
patients. At approximately 4:45
p.m., the group dined with tho
Army personnel in the mess hall.
After eating, the band set up their
instruments and the choir rehears-
ed in the Service Club. Since the
program which was presented by
the T.S.C. choir and band, did not
begin until 7:00' p.m. there was
plenty of time to make full use of
the recreational equipment,
A dance followed the program.

If the change is wanted, then back
it, keeping in mind that one per-
son can't bring this change into
actuality. It will take the com-
bined efforts of everyone enrolled
at Tarleton State College.

Friends of Music
Present Piano,
Cello Program
Celloist Samuel Woodward and
pianoist Steve Smith performed
before an audience of about 120
Sunday, March 4. The program
which was held in the Little Audi-
torium was the first this year to
feature students. Woodward is a
freshman at Baylor University,
and Smith is a high school senior
from Fort Worth.
Originally, tho program had
been planned for two celli and
piano. Changes had to be made,
however, when one of the perform-
ers, Gordon Lantz, became ill be-
fore the program and was unable
to perform. Dr. Morton, who in-
troduced the musicians, said, con-
cerning this handycap, that it was
very considerate of the perform-
ers to have continued the program
under these circumstances. The
program had to be changed almost
entirely at the last minute as a
result of Lantz's absence, Morton
said.
Dr. Dick Smith, professor of
government, said that it was ex-
traordinary that two students such
as these could present such an en-
joyable program after experienc-
ing that difficulty.
The cellist, Woodward, is the
son of the Mrs. Woodward, who is
a violinist and %vas featured in the
first Friends of Music program
this year.
Dr. Morton said that the next
program will feature Lewis Wood-
ward accompanied by his wife in
a vocal program. Everyone is in-
vited, and especially the Tarleton
students are urged to attend all of
these Friends of Music, Morton
said.

Letters to the Editor
(Continued from Page Two)
members of the executive commit-
tee had "bargained" with Roddy
to the effect that if he would agree
to an amendment to the old con-
stitution so that one of their num-
ber could run for office again,
thoy would not resist tho move-
ment to refer the new constitu-
tion to a committee. As a direct
result of Roddy's efforts, there-
fore, tho new constitution failed
to be accepted.
Roddy was not the only import-
ant speaker at the convention. He
was, however, one of the most out-
standing, and the generally ac-
cepted leader of the movement
against the constitution. By find-
ing allies in such varied schools
as TCU, Pan American College,
Trinity, and West Texas State, he
brought both himself and his
school to the attention of the
TISA and its members. For this,
if nothing else, it is my opinion
that Tarleton oweB Roddy a vote
of thanks. — Phyllis Smith.
Student
Council
Report
By PHYLLIS SMITH
March 21, the student council
met in the Wren Room with all
members present. Virginia Temple-
ton read the minutes which were
approved.
First item for consideration was
the question of whether or not to
send a Tarleton representee to
the Military Ball at Arlington. Xfc
was decided to delay sending in
registration to Arlington until a
treasurer's report could bo given
and the amount of expenses of'the
trip could be determined.
Next, a committee was appoint-
ed to set the dates on petitions,
political rally, and campaign rules.
Parent's Day Queen was in for
much discussion. The faculty com-
mittee on Parent's Day recom-
mended that the Queen be select-
ed from nominees to be selectd
from each of the organizations on
the. campus. Much discussion fol-
lowed the " presentation of thia
idea.
. Some members, felt that this
would not bring about representa-
tion from the entire school. Others
felt that almost all the representa-
tive girls on campus would be
members of several organizations
and would have several chances
of being nominated.
Delegates to the TISA conven-
tion were reminded to turn in their
reports sometime today.
Petitions will be duo into the
dean of students office Wednes-
day, Mar. SO. The following Tues-
day, Apr. 5, the articles on the
nominees will appear in the J-Tac
and campaigning will begin.
Campaigning will continue
through Apr. 11, and will be
brought to a climax with a politi-
cal rally at the Monday night
dance. The election will be held
Tuesday, Apr, 12..
