Tarleton's New Curriculum to Include a
uWhat to Do for a Fainting Person" Class
Is fainting getting: to be a habit
around here? If it is, there seems
to be the need of a special course
in "What to do for a Fainting
Person." Shouid you dash cold
water in the victim's face, shake
him vigorously, stand him against
a wall, lay him on hi3 back, or
slap him real hard? Probably the
cold water process would be the
most effective of the mentioned
methods. The person who faints
needs to be pitied if his would-be-
helpers endeavor to use any of the
other reliefs.
But suppose water is not avail-
able when an individual stages a
"passing out" act: for instance, in
the auditorium during chapel or a
classroom. Well, the nurses say,
"Put his head down." So may we
compliment the girls who assisted
their friend last Monday in their
attempt to lower the girl's head?
But what's this we hear about a
teacher, one of Tarleton'a beloved
professors, trying to support his
fainting student "right side Up?"
And what did Aunt Luey say?
Yes, this school needs an extra
course. What do you think?—C. S.
TEJAS BRIDGE PARTY IS
ENJOYED BY 17 RUSHEES
HELPFUL HINT FOR THE WEEK
The J-Tac has been asked to announce that the word "bade,"
past tense of "bid," ia not pronounced as it is spelled. It is pro-
nounced exactly the same as the word you all know,"bad."
CURE YOUR OWN ILLS
"You get out of anything just what you put into it." How
many times you have heard that! Yet it just fails to sink in on
the great majority of students.' You come to college with only a
vague idea of what you want, yet you expect to get it by some
magical process. You gripe about your meals and fail to enjoy
them simply because you are griping. You sleep through classes
and blame the teachers for asking things they haven't explained.
They are seldom at fault; it's their business to be right.
I once had two teachers who had been in the World War. One
talked about it continually. I had been under the other one three
years before I even knew that he had been a soldier. The first
one had never seen action; the second had been in several dead-
ly naval battles, and had shown remarkable bravery. The first
had gotten only something to talk about; his pupils had little or
no resneet for him and his tales. The second had put everything
into his work in the war and he had gotten honor and respect.
When he said anything, hia pupils listened as if their jives de-
pended upon it. Such men teach a lesson that it might be well
for all of us to study and to take to heart.
One of the most enjoyable of the
rush parties by Tarleton social
clubs was that of the Tejas Club
on Thursday night of last week in
the south parlor of the Dormitory.
Progressive bridge formed the
diversion of the evening. The
high score prize was awarded to
Miss Westbrook, cut to Ann Me-
Gill, and low score to Jane Gold-
bcck.
The club's chosen colors of red
and yellow were carried out in re-
freshments of colored sandwiches,
fruit salad, mints, nuts, and tea
which were served to Misses Faye
Abbott, Mary Ruth Allison, Iris
Atkins, Mary Higgs Brandon,
Sammie Ruth Casbeer, Christine
Glenn, Jane Goldbeck, Mayo Hol-
lis, Esther Homeyer, Lillian Doris

Mrs. Moody.
GOLDEN RULE AND ADVERTISERS
. The J-Tac needs the support of the entire student body. Each
issue of the paper contains advertisements from local business
firms. The help of these business men makes possible the pub-
lication of this paper. Since they give financial aid to Tarleton,
the firms naturally appreciate recognition of their support.
Students of Tarleton should make a habit of reading the adver-
tisements in each J-Tac and make a mental list of those firms
who are doing their part. When a student goes to town he should
refer to that list and try to patronize those who are helping the
J-Tac. Every student should keep before him this application of
the Golden Rule: "Do unto the advertisers as you would have
them do unto your paper,"
Students may note that the. following persons and firms are
advertising in this week's J-Tac r Frances Shoppe, Palace The-
atre, Majestic Theatre, Farmers-First National Bank, Cox's, Reid

SHORTHAND CLASS ENJOYS
PICNIC AT HANDY'S PARK
The shorthand class which meets
at 10:20 every day enjoyed a
moonlight picnic at Handy's Park
Monday night. The group and
their guests left the campus at
five o'clock and walked the entire
distance to the park. They arrived
between 6 and 6:30 very hungry.
After eating sandwiches, potato
chips, pickles, fruit, and cookies,
the group enjoyed several games
in the mdonlight. About 8:15 they
started their four-mile walk back
to the college and arrived about
9:45 very tired but happy about
having such a good time. Mr. and
Mrs. Foote and Mrs. Smith chap-
eroned the students.

PRE-LAW CLUB MEMBERS
AND DATES ENJOY PICNIC
The college dance Saturday
night was a big success in spite of
the fact that a few dances were
cut short, and several boys had
two girls. billed for the same
dance. It was a little difficult in
finding partners too, and it was
quite common to see two girls
with one boy, or vice versa, walk-
ing about the floor between dan-
ces, The stags behaved unusually
well, and they'll never know how
YOU MUST BE PLEASED
College Tailors
The members of the Pre-Law
Ciub, and their guests hiked out
to the college farm Monday night,
October 22 for a picnic. There
were thirty students and the chap-
erons, Mr. R L. Eaves, Mr, Hale,
and Miss Jones. Everyone enjoyed
the picnic—especially the tasty re-
freshments which were served.

much the girls appreciated this.
We suggest, however, that they
give some of the girls who didn't
have dates to this dance a break,
and take them to the Halloween
dance.
The college orchestra was fine;
we only wish they had played,
"Orchids in the Moonlight." We
can't blame them for that however,
as time was short, and we just
had to have the Saint Louis Blues.
We were sorry about the check-
ing room; but since there was de-
corations the wraps did add a lit-
tle color on the sideline.
The cloak room will be open af-
ter this, and girts, please wear
your fur coats, (If the boys have
one; we'll take it too.)
During intermission the tumb-
lers entertained. The clown Was
the main feature, and Ted Crow-
ther, you fit the part perfectly.
Approximately 1B0 couples at-
tended, besides about 50 stags. All
the chaperones were there, and we
hope they enjoyed dancing half as
much as we did. We are led to be-
lieve that they did.
SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPER IS
