INTEREST MANIFESTED
IN J-TAC STAFF
ELECTION
Students Eelect Candidates of Their
Choice as Members of Student
Publication Staff !
One of the most interesting
chapel exercises of the year was
witnesed by a large majority of
the student body o n Thursday
morning. The ^-Tac staff for the
rest of the year was elected, the
president of the Student Council
holding the election: The students
who were picked, for the election
were those who had shown an in-
terest in the paper by working on
the publication since the beginning
of school. There were very few
who answered Editor Ferguson's
call at the first of school; there-
fore there was a scarcity of stu-
dents for some departments of the
staff. Ferguson seemed : to 1 be.
very well pleased with those who
were elected, although there was
some excellent material defeated.
Those who were put before the
students to be voted on were Louis
McGregor, .associate editor; Tom
Lewis, exchange editor; J. K. West,
feature editor;'^.twell Bond, sports
editor; Jettye Faye Jackson and
Gayle Smythia, news editor;_ Cy
Paul Roney, first, .assistant busi-
ness manager; Wyndert Gilbert,
second .asistant business manager;
Liby Mae ■' Reid and . Daisy, Ruth
Sebastain, society editor; '
Ruth Jones, Kathleen Brazil, Mad-
eline Funkhouser, .literary editor.
McGregor, Lewis, West, and Bond
were voted on in a group, and were
elected by acclamation. Jac~ Jack-
son won by a small majority for
news editor over Gayle Smythia.
Cy Paul Roney and Myndert Gil-
bert were elected by acclamation
for first and second assistant bus-
iness managers, respectively. An-
other close r,ace was witnessed be-
tween Lillie' Mae Reid and Daisy.
Ruth' Sebastain for society editor.
Daisy Ruth, won by a few votes.
Madeline Funkhouser was • vic-
torious oyer Kathleen Brazil, and
Annie Ruth Jones for literary ed-
itor.
Thte J-Tac now promises to be
a better paper since all depart-
ments are filled with capable mem-
bers. The staff asks the coopera-
tion of ,all the student body so
that they can make Tarleton days
more pleasant by making the J-
Tac the best college publication in
the' State.

Oi' Thursday evening, Novem-

the grand march led by Mi. Foots
dressed in overalls and Mrs. Wood-
ward dressed in 'painters' white
coveralls.
This march was followed by va-
rious games; such as the introduc-
tion game, "Land, water, and air,"
novelty baseball with washers, and
the Virginia Reel, : a
Refreshments of* aggette, punch

The Evolution of the J-Tac is
qvjite different from the first edi-
tion, which was published on No-
vember 27, 1919. Sincp that time
the J:Tac has grown from a five
to. a seven column paper. The
common letter-head has, been re-
placed by a large frontispiece with
a perspective view of the college
campus. The staff has increased
from seven to eleven members.
This year a second assistant busi-
ness manager has been added as
a member of the staff, - .
Some interesting selections from
various editions are as "follows:

Girls should not be allowed to

FINE ARTS CLUB ENJOY
L RE-
CEPTION
Music Instructors Sponsors of En-
joyable Party for Their
Pupils
Members of the Fine Arts, De-
partment enjoyed a beautiful re-
ception on the night of November
S. >There were seventy-two stu-
dents registered in an attractive
book which was presided over by
Ethel Hamilton and Edith Ballow.
The reception hall was beautiful-
ly decorated in the Tarleton col-
ors. The ceiling was a complete
mass of color-, composed of the in-
termingling of purple and white
paper. The room seemed to liave
obtained the air of a large parlor
with its overstuffed furniture, its
mirrors arid ferneries, which all
went together to create an atmos-
phere of welcome among all who
were present. The first few min-
utes of the program were devoted
to. the hearing of a few words of
welcome- from Mr; Froh, delivered
by Mr, HunewelL He explained
the aim of the Fine Arts Club-and
also outlined the plan of its work.
It has been decided that- the club
will meet every ■ Wednesday at
seven o'clock. For three weeks
during the month the club will be
divided into sections according to
the ■ departments in which each
member is studying, . The fourth
week all departments will meet
together for a complete program,
composed of members from all the
departments. Each club meeting
is to be followed by twenty min-
utes of recreation.. .
After the above" explanation-was
heard,- the social was turned over
to Sylvia Wilson, chairman' of the
entertainment ' committee. Many
amusing games were played ■ and
enoyed. Still the best has been
left to the last. At one. side of
the room had been placed a beau-
tifully decorated table with a huge
punch bowl in the center. At this
time fruit punch was served, and
believe me, it was plenty/ good—
just ask Frankie Russell or Mau-
verine Eaker—they ought to know.
After we had all had all the
punch we could want, we bade, our
dear faculty, good night, only to
begin looking forward to another
social of the same likeness.

Company basketball preparations
are under way. The company com-
mander ha-s announced to his

shown their intentions of uphold-
ing their company colors by throw-
ing the ball. through' the iron loops.

Great Enthusiasm Expressed and.

With only two more games this
season, Coach Wisdom is very en-
thusiastic about his football ma-
chined The first game, which is

ber 20. The-second and last game
is the Thanksgiving game and is

son and bid fair to give the Plov,"
boys a 'sporty tussel.
According to the "dope" West-
minister has a scrappy team and
has some huskies on the starting
list. This is 'interesting to the
Plowboys, because it will give
them something to work for.
The Plowboys. are in the 'best
shape, ever, according to word
from the athletic department.
They have been working hard since
the Armistice Day game and are
going to put up a hard struggle
for first honors. Coach Wisdom
is not prepared to give his--start-
ing line? but he hopes to have a
real football machine to represent
us on Turkey Day.
•It should be the desire of every
-Tarleton student to see this, the.
last game of the season. ' The
boys are staying, the band is
staying, and it behooves every
Tarleton student to do his best to
be in the stands to support his
team as they wage their final con-,
test. . .
