The 1938 Grassburr
Today marks the beginning of an intensive campaign on the
part of the Grassburr Staff to try to sell 800 copies of the 1938
annual to the student body. They should not reallv^have to beg
you to buy this book; it is your publication; it is your duty to
back it.
In the Grassburr you will find a picture-diary of your college
days when you spent probably the most carefree days of your
life at study and at play.
Get in line and buy your Grassburr today. Remember the dance
to be held Oct. 9. All you need to attend the dance is your re-
ceipt for the 1938 Grassburr.
A Call For Spirit
What Tarleton needs this season is more and more pep meet-
ings just like the one held in the gym and on the football field
Thursday night! A record crowd of enthusiastic backers of a
grand group of athletes gave the first pep meeting of the year
an aspect of true loyal support of Tarleton's official eleven this
year. With "On Ye Tarleton" and "Peruna" as the "hits" of the
evening-, Tarleton's enthusiastic student body "fairly went to
town." The initial performance of the new yell leaders showed
spirit and efficiency, and gives a favorable outlook for the sea-
son's future pep rallies.
On Eating At The Dining Hall
To those who have never eaten at the'dining hall this bit of
work may seem a bit fantastic, exaggerated, or biased; but to
the freshmen who have had the "privilege" of that particular
bit of college life, this will be but a truthful statement of the
horrors that exist in a so-called civilized school.
It is interesting to note the change in a freshman's attitude
at the dining table after the first day or two. For the first four
or five meals these newcomers at our great institution of learn-
ing sit as politely at the table as they would at home and wait
for the food to be passed. But alas and alack, those who thus
foolishly show their good breeding will .soon show signs of
gauntness and appear on the campus with such a "lean and hun-
gry look" as Cassius must have had.
After the first few days, however, these foolish persons des-
cend on the table with all of the gusto of a starving Armenian.
They apparently decided that Milton was wrong when he said,
"They also serve who only stand and wait."
Another error that a freshman makes is seating himself at a
table with about eight or nine seniors. Here he learns his les-
son and, If he is wise, never makes the same mistake again.
These "elect of the gods," or seniors in plain English, seem to
take an unholy delight in making freshmen stand, introduce
themselves, tell the town they are from, and the history, loca-
tion, and climate of said town. By the time this tale is told, all
of,the food has disappeared, and the historian is left to his own
devices, which is usually that of purchasing numerous hambur-
gers, pies, chocolates, etc., at the Varsity.
As I vvuz walking down Tarleton
Saturdy nite I got to thinking
ahowt the gurls and whut they
won't do to have their way. Uv

About Turkey Day
It is an old custom for the Tarleton student body to attend
some out of town football game every year; so why not start
immediately talking up the Arlington football game on Thanks-
giving? Out of a student body of approximately 1100 we should
carry at least 900 students to the "grudge" game. Even, the
freshmen know now after two weeks of school that NTAC is our
"worstest" enemy.
Last year they came to Tarleton full force on a special. We
want to break the charm they seemed to put on us last year by
defeating us (well, we're not remembering that.)
The students who go on the specials each year have a good
time. It is a thrill that comes only once in the life of a freshman,
NTAC always has a strong team, and they will give Tarleton a
hard fight this year. The Plowboys will need the loyal support
of every Tarleton student in order to win this game, but only a
few students will attend if a special train is not arranged.
Let your slogan be—"On to Arlington," and let's get the
movement started.
Tarleton Exes
R. M. Skinner, who was noted
for his track ability, especially the
high hurdles, is showing ability in
still another field. He has been em-
ployed by the Frye, Gregory, and
Linsteader Accounting firm in Dal-
las for the last year or year and!
a half.
Loyd Pickett, who was graduated
from Tarleton in May, 193G, re-'
ceived his B. A. degree from the1
University of Texas this August,
and he is teaching history in Fris-
co high school.
Plea For Patience
At least twice a day angry, impatient mobs threaten to boil
the Tarleton post office employees in oil, to tar and feather
them, and to string them up by their toes. Why? Because these
mean, old boys, out of obstinancv and stubbornness, positively
refuse to stuff every box with big, thick letters from the "right"
people. Shouldn't at least a part of the blame be shifted to these
"right" people, and the post office employees be allowed to carry
on their work without having their lives endangered by these
horrible threats?

Our Music
Benito Mussolini ranks with Franklin Delano Roosevelt among
the busiest men in the world. Guide of Italy's destiny, his ac-
tions have mighty consequence in the world of events.
In spite of his enormous responsibilities, Mussolini finds time
to play his violin daily. He is one of a multitude of leaders of
industry, commerce, literature, and science who actually depend
upon music as a part of their daily routine. They dem:;nd it for
their mental well-being much as they demand air, wator, and
sunshine for their physical well-being.
Something about producing music develops and accelerates
one's mental action. More than that, it serves them as true re-
creation, refreshing, relieving, cheering, and gratifying.
What music does for the chosen of destiny, it will do for the
private individual. Teacher, housewife, business man—or Tar-
leton student—will find that an hour reserved for music from
each day's twenty-four will add richness to the daily humdrum
of life.
Wrhy not investigate the music department of Tarleton? You
will be gladly received and shown around. If there ia a spark
of musical talent in you, our well-trained Fine Arts instructors
will draw it out of you.
Van Parmley of New Orleans, \
La., and Bill Smith of Fort, Worth,
both ex-Tarletonites. have been vis-
iting friends in Stephenville re-
cently.
