BASKETEBRS ARE PRAISEWORTHY
The basketball banquet March 17 honoring John Tarleton'a
present and former stars of the three-year-victory streak p/obably
and rightfully, will be the greatest banquet ever held on the Tar-
leton campus.1 If any group of young men deserve recognition,
these men do. In .addition to ringing upa great consecutive vic-
tory record of . 60 straight wins, these men throughout the three
years have been consistently on the honor rolls of the institution
and have worked their ways through school. Their distinctive
: sportsmanship and cleanliness on and off the courts have estab-
lished them as outstanding players and students and won the
praise and respect of, all opponents.' ' ^
The banquet is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and is
a fitting tribute to the basketeers who have brought a great deal
of favorable publicity to the town and college by their unusual
achievement. Plates for the banquet are $1 each, with the actual
expenses being approximately 50c each. AH proceeds above the
expenses will be given to the ten lettering players of this year,
which is a thoughtful /and beneficial move on the part of the
business :men here.
Every Tarleton student who can'should buy a plate and be at
the banquet in'honor of our great team. The stars who began the
■wjinniilg 'streak and the stars who have extended it will be as-
sembled in one hall, making the greatest gathering of Tarleton
athletes ever held in the history Of the college. It is a wonder-
ful movement, let's support it;
, cheating doesn't pay, ever ,
The easiest,, and often the most practiced by the willy-milly-
kneed person, way of getting by on hard propositions is to cheat
one's way through. This practice has gradually eked its way into
the innermost circles of diligent groups and into colleges whose
deans and presidents would formerly have vowed that such a vice
would never have creeped into their systems1. Often one hears,
"Yeah, you know, I used to wouldn't cheat, but', Oh! well, the rest
of 'em do, so why shouldn't I? Really, I.don't believe the teachers
mind anyway. They leave the room and deliberately -give one the
ehance to use their notes." ^
Such an attitude is feebly adopted- by many to cover their weak
front. In high, school many of our present students would not
have thought of practicing this growing evil, but now they ac-
cept an air of toleration or indifference. Where is: your grip, stu-
dents? That age old saying, "You are not harming the teacher,
you are just cheating yourself," is not given to us for space-fil-
ler. That is the straight, cold facts. If one does not hay&'the in-
tellect to recognize its value, be will fall by the wayside into
the common, degenerated low level of humanity. Are you going
to be just bne of the common herd.and,eheat your way through
school? What are you in school for? Just for the social events
and celebrations? •
When one has finished1 his college days and looks back over his
record, will he be proiid of those standards he gianed by the peep
and dodge* method ? Only shame will be his—shame that he did
not have the intestinal fortitude to work for what he got.
COUNCIL OFFICE NEEDS FURNITURE
After great efforts by its members 'and through the coopera-
tion of Dean Davis and Mr. Carl Bird-well, manager of the College
Store, the Student Council obtrined a much-needed office for its!
private use in the plannang and execution of student affairs. But
even with the office space supplied, the council is now in no* bet-
ter position to handle its business efficiently; the office is not
equipped with furniture, and so far the council has found no way
in which to obtain the hecessary chairs, desks, and files. With the
honor system now in effect, there should be some way for the
secretary of the student council to keep a complete record and
check on each student registered in school, Without a private
office ad well-kept -files there is no way by which an accurate
and complete record' can be kept. Without furniture the office
is practically useless to the members of the council
TEXAN
To be a Texan is to ride
With past and future at your
side;
To. race the norther sweeping
' .south,
, And toss the dice with floods and
drought,
To be a Texan is to know
'You must keep faith with friend
and foe; J
That men are brave and women
true "■ •
Though some may fail among
the crew;
That love is not a pretty game,
And God is more, than just a
■ name;
• To be a Texan is to feel
.The Alamo against your heel.
Here is some less serious poetry
from the Daily Trojan:
She learned to love;
She learned1 to hate;
She learned a Ford
Would carry eight.
She learned to smokej;
She learned to teli
Wood alcohol
By taste or smell.
She learned to coax;
She learned to tease;
She learned new ways
Of cooking cheese.
She learned to neck
And break a date
She's ready now
To graduate.
Another week, another hospital
full of measles patients. Who will
be next?
The affairs of the moment—
Hazel Rouleau and "Baby" Friou.
And so our handsome football
hero, Bernice Collins, steps out
to the show with a mysterious
blonde.
Wayne Low is substituting for
the faithful Hallmark.
Wei!, folks, Louise Roe is now
mak5ng a successful come-back
■with the exception of a ease of
measles. ' •
We are glad to see Miss Mahan
up and about again even if it does
mean work.
"What's this we hear about an
affair between Uldine Gaither and
"Slew" Hull?.
Dortha Sue James, Leota Se-
gars, and Mary Ola Mitchell went
home last week-end.
R. M. Skinner from down Farm-
er'sville way has a mysterious
habit of leaving chow at exactly
6:13. v
And even our Boney is number-
ed among the missing. ■ ;.
Henley, the little-but-loud bug-
ler boy, offers us a ease of the
"survival of the fittest."
Another case of gone but not
forgotten: Echols. Isn't that
right, Hardie?
Is Grace Wray making an at-
tempt to be dramatic?
March the first has arrived again
and our fair serious Senior girls
have blossomed out in white shoes,
ties, and anklets, and every fresh-
man girl has' resolved .to do her
best to graduate next/ year.
Another noticeable change—this
week has been crammed full and
overloaded with tests!'
Flasliy-Eli Rushing's checked
pants.
Now since Norene Tweedy has
gone from our midst, we wonder
who will be the object of Jim Car-
rigan's attractions.
Jimmy, you weren't very lone-
some while Nancy was lit the hos
pital, were you?
Simmons, Pauline certainly ap-
rreciated those flowers you sent
her while, she was in the hospital.
The rumor about a. budding ro-
mance between Calva and Stanley
Davis was a false alarm, now it
is "Love In Bloom,"
Mayo, did someone say that you
have a boy friend who is. a sports
writer at Hardin-Simmons Uni-
versity? ;
Justine Limroth, a jVTac staff
member last year, visited here last
week-end.
According to Bill Lentz, Bobbie
Rawls had a guest last week-end.

From Zerotown, Idaho, comes
more' news about Professor Kold-
feet, famous weatherologist, who
recently launched into the adver-
tising game in behalf of his most
recent composition, a book oh wea-
ther;. Besides constructing a huge
producing establishment called
"The Professor Koldfeet & Com-
pany Consolidated Weather- Bu-
reau Company, Inc.," the Profes-
sor is spreading signs, and news-
paper and magazine advertise-
ments from New York to Califor-
nia in his attempt to acquaint the
public with his books. In all these
ventures Koldfeet proudly points
to Able and Cable, millionaire
weathermen, as Ms inspirations
and guides. "Why," he says, "In
their small way they help the
company tremendously. Then, too,
the money which I condescend to
take from them helps."
Here is this week's letter from
our genial friend: "Dear Report-
er : My plans are rapidly rounding
into shape, and it will not be long
before my dream shall have be-
come a reality. I have purchased
a half-acre of land- on which to
build my establishment; construc-
tion on the building will begin
soon, with approximately 500 men
employed. I hope to have the place
ready to open by next month, By
that time I shall have finished my
book, advertising will have made
the public ready to read it; con-
sequently, all th.at I have to do
is to have the bopks printed as
rapidly as possible here in my
own factory. Then the money will
begin to roll in at double or triple
the expense;
"I do not believe that I have
ever told you much about Able
and Cable, my two assistants, who
furnish the money. They are both
kind and gentle, and are Willing
to'lielp in any way that they can.
/Thus far I have put them to little
use except that of signing checks,
which becomes quite a task at
times. But knowing their interest
in the business, I have given them
jobs as assistant clerks in my tem-
porary office here in Zerotown.
They seem satisfied in their/ en-
vironment, even though their work
is not quite up to standard. Neith-
er of the two knows exactly the
source of their wealth; Able thinks
that his Uncle John left his entire
fortune to them, while Cable be-
lieves that, together, they earned
the money through shrewd busi-
ness deals. However, it .does not
matter how. they- got the money,
as long as there is'plenty of it.
"Another matter which I have
not written to you about is my so-
cial standing in Zerotown. From
the moment I set foot in this town
I said to myself, 'I am' going to
like this place. People are so
friendly and hospitable.' And the
longer that I remain here the bet-
ter I like it. I am now a candidate
for mayor, having already refused
seven other public offices offered
to me by the city council; but 1
shall have to resign as mayor as
soon as I am elected, because of
my other interests..! want to go
ahead and win the election before
resigning, though, so that I may
prove to my few political enemies
that I am a power in this com-
munity.
"I must away now, to spend
a few thousand dollars before the
day is o'er. I will write again next
week so that you' may know my
situation up here where the tem-
perature never gets above twenty
below. Sincerely (signed) Profes-
sor Koldfeet."
SPEECH STUDENTS JUDGE
VARIOUS LITERARY EVENTS
Students of the Speech Depart-
ment have been requested to judge
various literary events . of sur-
rounding schools in connection with
the work of the Interscholastic
League. Clara Blaekwell, Ora B.
Nichols, Max Harrison, and Henry
Wilder have been representing the
Speech Department as judges of
declamation and story telling. It is
not? only a lot of fun but valuable
experience for these - students to
have the privilege * of serving as
judges of these various speech
events. Several judged a large
number of declamers at Huckabay
on Friday night, selecting the stu-
dents to be represented soon in Uje
county seat.

EXCHANGES
It seems that journalism at the
University of Wisconsin (presum-
ably finding little else with which
to busy themselves) get a kick
out of making" surveys, and some
of the results are astonishing.
For instance, after discovering
that the annual "crop of lipstick
used on the campus would paint a
barn and that a bottle of ink—if
you spill none—will enable one
to write 191,600 words, the indus-
trious toilers discovered that the
average male student removes
1,380,000 little pieces of hair from
his face in the course of a year's
shaving. And what's more, the
average man raises nine miles of
beard per annum, and if the whis-
kers grown by the combined male
students at Wisconsin were placed
end to end, they would reach twice
around the world.
Tnis being Centennial Year, the
following poem found in the
Albany News, seems appropriate.
PURDUE EXPONENT
And still less sensible poetry

Wasted
My time
