What, No Beer!
In view of the present conditions of degrading conduct of
College students visiting the corner saloons between classes, the
staff wishes to state that direct action will be taken to punish
any students who attempt to inveigle staff members into drinking
the vile dregs of beer.
Beer is ruining this institution and will likely ruin many more
if the present condition continues. Hundreds of silly staggering
students (by gum that's alliteration) greet the eye of the visitor
to. our campus. 'Sn'outrage, no less.
The soul scorching thing about the condition is that many
people are delighted to see how much tax money is being collect,
ed from these students. Why, many of them are e.ven paying the
State money in beer taxes. At the present rate it would be worth
good hard dollars to the State to keep the aforementioned stu-
dents in college just so as to be able to collect the revenue from
the beer they drink.
April Fool and Nertz to You.

Try Standing" The Truth
The April Food edition of The J-Tac is always looked forward
to by the staff with intention good or bad. Not everything in the
paper will be accepted in the right manner, that is to be expect-
ed. Publishing a paper without drawing criticism would be too
good to be true. Some of the fire would be missing. It is the truth
that hurts. Something! in here might be the truth, we don't vouch
for a thing. If the digs, cracks, and slurs happen to hit home,
make ttie most of it. It's the little things in life that count. This
is not a blunderbuss edition; so don't gripe. All the misery and
woe to you!—The Staff.
+ FOHT FROLICS
It was decided at a Fort meeting
last night that the boys staying in
the Fort would leave a new Fort
for our posterity. Each; agreed to
contribute to the new building that
will soon be erected where the old
Fort now stands, Elam was the
first to contribute to the cause. He
placed seven new $1000 bills in the
hat, which like a magnet, drew
equally large contributions into the
hat. After a spirited two-minute
talk by Hornsby the fund jumped
from §25,000 to 390,000. By an un-
animous vote it was decided that a
dormitory would be built costing
$89,999. The dollar being kept out
to buy hamburgers for the inmat-
es after the meeting.
Palmo is a very sweet colonel.
He never fusses about throwing
bottles down the hall or complains
because the radio is left on all
night. He is a very conscientious
fellow though. He caught Deffe-
bauch shooting craps the other
night and made him quit imme-
diately saying that there would be
no homicides ia the Fort as long as
he was colonel.
Logan is now sweeping out the
halls. He gripes more than ever
about them being dirty all the time
and still wonders who breaks out
the hall lights and who swipes
light globes.
The monotony of the regular
Friday night dinner dance was bro-
ken by one of the Fort freshmen
when he suggested that we all cele-
brate in a good .old-fashion way.
Everyone at the dance walked to
town and saw an old-fashion cow-
boy, western picture, and either
walked or rode the bus back to the
college. At 10::15 just to make it
really seem like the old time3 all
the boys bade their Sweet one fare-
well.
Ag soon as the Senate approves
the bees bill, Voigfc will set a bar
in connection with his candy shop.
The beer supply is already being
sold secretly. After beer becomes
legal everyone is going to get sotty
just because it will be their fust
time to drink legally. t
Many of the boys at the Fort tak-
ing engineering and agriculture are
thinking of giving up their future
profession and becoming brewers
since in the future everyone will
be employed in the making of beer.

Editor's Note: It is particularly
fitting that some of the qualifica-
tions and reasons why the above
men were promoted should be enu-
merated by the editor.
Dauro Palmo was selected for
colonel because he is ambitious.
Another thing, he did not hitch his
wagon to a star. When he enrolled
here he said to himself, "Dauro,
old boy, some day you're going to
be a big man in this school. If you
work and apply yourself some day
you may get to be a colonel, and,
who knows, maybe a sergeant,"
Ever since that fateful day in Sep-
tember he has earnestly striven to
reach his goal.
Ovee Brummett was selected for
thsj position of Lt.-Colonel because
of his social qualifications. Since
the position is one that requires
most pleasing manners, it seems
especially fitting that such a cul-
tured gentelman as Ovee should
fill this station.
Charles "Racehorse" Jameson he-
cause of his graceful stride was
picked for major-adjutant. Lieu-
tenant Davis, says that he thinks |
Jameson will improve the looks of |
the parade considerably. To see,
such a fine specimen of "body I
beautiful" strut across the drill j
field would make any American's,
heart thrill. !
Louis Murdock was selected for 1
no other reason than to keep him j
from knocking doors and windows
out of the Fort. The best way to
deal with Bolshevics is to give
them a place of responsibility."
says Sergeant Busehmann.
Hal Thomas (probably you know
him as "casualty" or "weakling")
was drafted back into the Cadet
Corps by a petition signed by every
cadet requesting bis return. It is
hard to keep such a man as him
down.
The others were selected because
they were about the best "sucks"
on the drill field.
Peppy Roy Westmoreland, the
band's best trombone player, was
selected drum major because he is
so full of life. "It takes a rowdy,
lively fellow like Christmas to j
make a good drum major," says |
Mr. Hunewell. !
ALAMEDA PREVIEW
At last the rules and regulations
of the dormitory have been remov-
ed. Now a girl may feel free to
light a "Lucky" in ner own room.
An official announcement has been
made to the effect that no more
girls will be posted for smoking.
The dump girls a^e happy again
and the dormitory is about to float
away—on smcka.
Mixed dancing is now allowed in
the dormitory parlor. There 5s a
mad rush from the dining hall each
evening and a scramble to get the
best dancing partner. Pete and his
Ployboys have consented to play
each evening for the small sum of
$50.00 which is paid by the busi-
ness office, Before this change was
msdc Frances Harvey would not
hurry from the dining hall to see
Sidney, but now that she knows
what a good dancer he is she is in
the parlor at six-thirty-five. Hum-
pay Mulloy, who was seldom, seen
in the parlor until recently, is the
first on the floor, and who is he
dancing with? Yes, it is Doris
Bradley. Cute couple! Bird McKay
and Mary Bob are dancing, too, as
well as they like to "bill and coo"
on their favoriate divan. Mac Cres-
well and Virginia Scott have left
their snug little corner. We didn't
know they danced so well, but they
are both the type.
Come on over to the parlor, Pete,
just any time during the day. Mer-
cile will be waiting there as usual,
and we ean assure you that neith-
er of you will be posted ten demer-
its for "breaking dormitory regula-
tions."
First it's Mac, then it's Humpey,
then Mac, then Humpey, we are
beginning to wonder if it will be
Mac or Humpey.
When Miller called "she" had to
study, when Wat kins called "she"
had changed her mind. What about
Mabel, Watkins?
Elaine Parker has changed her
tactics. Now she could sit for hours
and listen to talk of Galveston, or
"those romantic tales of Cuba."
Wilson is his name.
I thought I was immune from
surprises, in this modern world of
ours, but when I heard about, well,
I admit I was floored.
We miss Zilpha from the dump,
but we know she is enjoying living
with her mother.
George Rucker would have rated
the invitation, but he said the
wrong thing at exactly the wrong
time. Don't be so hasty next time,
George.
Mechanics Club Organized
A Mechanics club has been or-
ganized with the little ferryman
boy as the President. Then there is
that little weakling of a child that
all the boys call Dale, you know,
Dale Vaughn. This club has been
organized on a purely business ba-
sis, there will be no socials—may-
be.The mechanics are better known
as the Grease Bailers, and they are
nice and quiet all the times. Sid,
himself, asked Blanchard if it was
all right to say "Double Dern"
when he hit his finger with the
"monkey wrench." April Fool or
no April Fool, watch this club have ,
a rousing good time on the old
White (maybe it's a Mack) Truck.
