April Fool game to aid
United Way in area
BY MARY ANNE FOREMAN
J-TAC Staff
The faculty and staff of Tarleton
State University square off against
members of the Student Senate next
week in a basketball game that
could be entitled the "Oldies but
Goodies" against the "Young and
Restless." The annual match-up is
set for 7 p.m. Monday, April 1 in
Wisdom Gym with all proceeds go-
ing to the United Way.
In the tradition of previous
games, the basketball competition
will feature veterans of the educa-
tional system against inmates of
that institution. Each team will have
its own cheerleaders and spirit
organizations. The Purple Poo will
be present to stir the support of the
students and the notorious Oops
will make their annual April Fools
appearance on behalf of the facul-
ty and staff.
Dr. Ruby Nell Ruth, Head of the
Department of Home Economics
and chairman of Tarleton's United
Way effort, has announced some
"sweet" additions to this year's
benefit game. A "Bid an Buy
Bonanza" bake sale will be held in
conjunction with the game and the
treats will be awarded to the highest
bidder. The baked goods, tagged
with a suggested price, will be on
display prior to the game and the
winning bids will be announced at
halftime.
Booths representing the various
agencies benefiting from United
Way fundings will also be on
display at the game. The agencies
benefited by the Stephenville
United Way include Aid to the
Needy, Alcohol and Drug Interven-
tion Council, Boy Scouts, Erath
County Committee on Aging, E.C.
Association for Retarded Citizens,
E.C. Humane Society, Girl Scouts,
Pecan Valley MHMR, Red Cross,
Salvation Army, Stephenville
Historical Museum, Stephenville
Senior Citizens, United Service
Organization, North Texas Radio
Reading Service and Southwestern
Diabetic Foundation.
Admission to the benefit game
will be for a $2 or more donation
and tickets are available from In-
terfirst Bank of Stephenville, Town
and Country Bank, Stephenville
Bank and Trust and Sunbelt Sav-
ings. They may also be purchased
at the cashier's window in the
Tarleton Business Office.
Beginning Tuesday night, Kelly
Ballard, Vice President for Exter-
nal Affairs and several Freshmen
Aides will be canvassing the city
selling tickets to the game.
Dr. Ruth indicated that 100 per-
cent of the proceeds received for
tickets, concessions and baked
goods will go to the United Way
and participation is encouraged.
George Strait
George Strait
concert tonight
Country and western singer
George Strait will be making his
third concert appearance at
Tarleton State University on Thurs-
day, March 28 in Wisdom Gym.
Strait is being brought back to the
TSU campus by the Organizational
Coordinating Board and C&M Pro-
ductions of Waco.
A native of Pearsall, south of San
Antonio, Strait is no "urban
cowboy" and he is as much at
home on his father's 2000 acre
ranch as he is strumming and sing-
ing. After spending some time at
Southwest Texas State in San Mar-
cos and drawing U.S. Army duty
in Hawaii, Strait decided to try it
as a country and western singer.
"For some reason, I got it into
my head that I wanted to start sing-
ing country music, so I went and
bought a guitar and some Hank
Williams songbooks and I started
learning how to play the guitar and
sing. I'm sure I drove all the
neighbors crazy. It took a while to
learn enough songs for me to get
a band together. I was scared,"

Student Activities
hosting workshop
By LYNNA FULLER
J-TAC Editor
Do your club meetings
sometimes seem to fall flat on their
faces? Does communication bet-
ween leadership and membership
become a problem? Do you ever
ask yourself, "Why an I a member
or why am I a leader of this
organization?"
If these questions have crossed
your mind or are a reality in your
club meetings, the office of Student
Activities is prepared to help you
deal effectively with these problems
by presenting a workshop titled
Your Organization: Getting the
Most from Meetings.
The workshop will be held Sun-
day, March 31 in the theater of the
Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center
from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The
workshop is being offered free to
all organizations on the TSU
campus.
The workshop will focus on
areas that can severely limit the
productivity and effectiveness of
meetings, said Harv Barkowsky,
director of Student Activites. Get-
ting the Most from Meetings will
present basic, productive ideas
which will assist clubs in getting
positive results from members as
well as leaders of each organiza-
tion, said Barkowsky.
The workshop will begin with a
1 '/2-hour session on parliamentary
procedure given by Gayle Christian
