There are various styles and
methods in burring hair. One of
these is called the "punch bowl
bob." This bob is made by slipping
a punch bowl over the head and
cutting around the edges. The
punch bowl is probably used more
by the inmates of insane asylums
than by an others, but one fr®-

quentiy sees it sported by a Tar-
leton freshman.
Another method of burring hair
is to shave the scalp close with
a razor and then dye the dome
a bright red. This gives the per-
son a sun-tan or "baek-to-natnre"
effect which is becoming quite pop-
ular with the prison convict and
the Tarleton senior.
Probably the haircut, most be-
coming to the average TaiTeton
gentleman is the "wick-wacky bob".
This is not a Hawaiian coiffure,
but it is so-called because the bar-
ber closes his eyes and whacks out
as much hair' as he wishes. This
This produces a wavy effect.
With the advance of barhering
and beauty culture, perhaps new
methods and styles of burring hair
will be found, but the Tarleton bur-
red heads can never be beat for
beauty.
SOCIAL APPROVAL
What causes us to put. a number six foot into a number four
shoe? What causes us to take chances we would not otherwise
take? What causes us to "ro places and do things" about which
we realty care nothing? The most powerful motivating force
which affects human behavior is the desire for social approval
We sacrifice individuality for it. We work iov it. We starve to
gain it.
We cannot bear being called a coward. We realize that a cow-
ard Is a social outcast. At times we lose our ability to reason out
the consequences-of our actions because of the very thought of
our being called yellow, and we dash headlong into much tighter
spots than could be figuratively illustrated by a small shoe. I
have no quarrel with the person who. after much careful thought
and consideration of himself and his family, concludes that be
will use alcohol; but the person who takes his first drink because
someone dares hint to has a "yellow streak" down his back. Of
course the foregoing is only an example; the same thing might
truthfully be said about any one who has not enough nerve to
stand by his own convictions. In the end society will turn its
back on one for doing the very things he once thought you had
to do to be a good sport. The deeper, more lasting approval of
society comes to the individual who has the courage, the self-
confidence, and the will-power to live by his own code rather
than by the code of the crowd.

ONE-MAN
GIRL YELL LEADERS OR NOT?
At the first available chapel the students will decide whether
Tarleton will have girls as yell leaders for next year or whether
they will have only boys as active yell leaders. If boys are chosen
to lead yells, then there will be |0ne girl who is given the title
of athletic sponsor. This girl will dress in the school colors and
attend football and basketball games. Her main duty is to be an
ornament and inspiration. It is hoped that the students wit! think
carefully through the situation before they vote for he thing
that they wart. This year is the first year that Tarleton has used
girl yell leaders.
There are definitely two sides to the question. The students
who want to have girls to lead in yells maintain that in this way
they have caused more girts to attend pep meetings and athletic
events. The girts ihus have more school spirit. On the other hand
the more conservative element maintain that colleges should
have outgrown the idea of having giris in such an office as this.
They hold that it is rather undignified for college women to as-
sume such duties. It is considered the place for a man. The policy
of other colleges is rather vague in that some schools do one
thing and some another. At any rate the Tarleton students must
decide for next year.

Photographic Dhemistry Course Has No
Loafers; Prof. Worries of Over Interest
Photographic chemistry is one of
the few subjects taught in Tarle-
ton that has absolutely no slackers
in it. According to Prof. S. F.
Davis the biggest worry encount-
ered is the interest the students
take in it. Once the student signs
up for the course, which is known
as chemistry 421, he wants to
work all the time. Even at night
Mr. Davis has difficulty in keep-
ing him out of the lab.
The photographic course was in-
troduced at Tarleton nearly two
decades ago by Mr. Davis who has
been interested in photography
ever since he was a small boy. The
department is modelled on the
photographic courses offered at
the universities of Texas, Wiscon-
sin, and Colorado where he at-
tended school. The course offered
here differs from the other photo-
graphic courses in that the chemi-
cal process of photography is
stressed rather than the physical
side of it.
The department has facilities for
developing films, making contact
prints, lantern slides, and making
enlargements. The class this year
is made up of 17 students.
The object of this course is to
prepare the student to make pic-
tures in the home and to give the
student an understanding of the
chemistry of photography. Stu-
dents learn the use of the various
types of cameras, the control of
lights and shadows, the use of
background, ray filters and special
plates. They mix developers, ton-
ing anil fixing baths to develop
plates and films, then print and
mount them, making lantern slides
and transparencies.
The seniors of John Tarleton
1 college re-lived twenty-four hours
! of "Fish" life Thursday, April 1.
j Beginning at approximately 12:01
■ a. nt. Thursday morning, the upper-
j classmen met their proverbial
i Waterloo on the drill field. Many
I passers-by halted to watch the
feat of tug-of-war.
Those groups of seniors who
wore able to meet classes Thursday
were dressed in every fashion in-
cluding clothes worn backwards.
This seemed to be the most popular
style.
A dancc was held in the Reerea-
tien hall Thursday afternoon, and
the dominating refreshment prov-
ed to be castor oil chased with
orange juice.
Many first year students en-
j^yod a game of cowboy with the
second year "Fish" serving for
transportation over the campus.
Little Sam Venahle, who was dress-
ed in a very individual style, seem-
ed to be the favorite pony for all.
Until exactly 12:00 p. m. Thurs-
day night, the upper-classmen in
the dormitories and boarding
houses wen: either busy shining
shoes and cleaning rooms or com-
posing songs for the freshmen of
'37.
Kveryone seemed to enjoy this
fool's day. All proved to be good
sports and no serious trouble was
made. We dare say that the fac-
ulty will cease many of their an-
tics and peculiarities after having
seen the faculty take-off.
Dean J. Thomas Davis of John
Tarleton College will deliver the
commencement addresses at seven
East Texas high schools, and will
address the student bodies of three
more in a tour which will begin
April 2G and be concluded June
9 th.
lie will address high school stud-
ents at Marshall on April 26 at the
chapel hour, and go to Longview,
where he will speak at 1:00 p. m,
the same day. On April 30 he will
| address students at Breckenridge.
I His commencement addresses will
begin May TO, when he will speak
.to students at Wellington. May 21
he will be at Bellevue, May 2'J
' at T,ohn, May 26 at Gainesville.
| May 2S at "Rolling, May SI at
j GatJsville; and he will conclude
| with an address at Medina City
| June nth.
j The general theme of Dean
Davis' addresses is the necessity
for educating oneself for this dy-
namic age. He believes "that this
is a moving world,, and there is
| no such thing as standing still.
' Movement, speed, and power are
! the chief characteristics of this
! age. The craze for action demands
| that we educate ourselves to what
i is going 'on around us."
' Dean Davis emphasizes the fact
that the hope of the world rests
with the young people of today. He
j states that "even some of you be-
j fore me may be called upon to solve
! some of the problems of the world.

Some one has been wondering
why the Colonel has been mak-
ing so much noise lately in the dor-
mitory. He has hougftt himself
a pretty doll and a large doll buggy
for it. Every night he plays with
it until about eleven o'clock.

The college poultry plant has
imported more "chirping" chicks,
which runs the total chick popula-
tion to over five thousand. "Dae"
Smith is the "foreman"—(one who
anticipates the boss' orders) of the
chick department at the poultry
plant.
The poultry plant imported a
"wild" horse last week, and he
seems to be a "bronc." The report
was that when he arrived, he had'
been riden once and unridden once
which makes him only one-half
had. This beast is as meek as a
lamb when he is harnessed up and
working, hut he is quite the op-
posite when one is riding him.
