"Get your parents' consent to

training. Nothing can be accom-
plished until these forms have
been returned to the proper auth-
orities—either Mr. filanchard or
Gabe Lewis
It is hoped that the ground
scitool wili betji'. within the iieJtt
few days as only d few minor de-
tails are yet to'be settlea.

There are two kinds of adults

Last Friday night about 600
Tarleton students were initiated
into the mystic rites of dunking
when the first collegiate branch of
the National Dunking Association
to be formed in all the 48 states
was organized at the Tarleton
Dining Hall.
To the strains of the associa-
tion's theme song, "Dunk a dough-,
nut and be merry," students pled-
ged allegiance to the high princi-
ples of this worthy cause.
A non-political, non-commercial
organization, the dunking associ-
ation was formed at the New York
World's Fair to promote American
democracy through stimulating
more expert dunkers. Headquart-
ers are at the Hotel Astor, New
York.
Branches of the dunking associ-
ation are being- organized in nume-
rous cities, but Tarleton's campus
is the first collegiate center for
the cause. Jack Traynor, member
of the National Dunking Associ-
ation, was present last Friday
night for organization of the col-
legiate branch.
Miss Ethel Bob Montague, direc-
tor of the Tarleton dining hall
explains that each student who
has meals at the dining hall may
become a member of the associ-
ation and work toward the B.D.
degree (bachelor of dunking).
