J. O. Garret Successfully
Persuades Dean Davis
To Revise Purple Book
The student body should be very
grateful to J. O. Garrett, head of
the foreign language department,
for using his influence to bring
about the Purple Book Revolution
whereby students grievances have
been redressed in a startlingly
modern manner.
Mr. Garrett had a nightmare the
other night. He dreamed tliat he
had prematurely reached his sec-
ond childhood, and suddenly his
standard of intelligence was lower-
ed to that of col leg students. He
began to see matters at Tarleton
in the same light in which they
are revealed to the students, and
the first thing he did when his
nightmare was over Was to have
the purple book changed. The
changes are as follows:
1.—Demerits will be given only
to those students who are trying
their best not to try.
2.—The dining half will be open
at all hours so that those students
who are afflicted with that strangle
disease called hunger will not have
to suffer. Each student will turn
in to the management a list of the
foods he' likes best, so his dishes
will be served to him continually.
3.—Students will be allowed to
sit on the wall as benches are
scarce.
4.—No regular hours wil] have
to be kept—just so 8 o'clock
classy are made.
5.— A11 students who own pars
may keep them at school 'and the
college will pay for gasoline and
repairs—Miss Hennigan. is tired
of treating fallen arches.
6.—When students are in the
mood, that's the time to dance—
they need not be particular where
they are.
7.—No permits will be granted
in the future—students should
learn to do things impulsively on
a moment's notice.
8.—Students may smoke on the
campus and they are urged to
drop their cigarette butts wher-
ever they happen to be smoking—
some worthy student may work
his way through Tarleton picking
them up.
9.—No registration fees will be
required—this college has chang-
ed to a free-for-all,
10.™A11 city limit signs will be
taken down So that students who
are riding will not be hampered in
any way.
11.—All students will be re-
quired to take a course in cam-
pusology. The course is offered
at night only. At the end of the
term trophies will be awarded to
the two students who have made
the most progress in the art of
pitchin' woo.
|s|ow that you've seen the
Foolishness. Please elect
some one to do better next

WtiE IS ME!
By SARA ANDREWS
He wrapped me in a. cloak of
white
And took me out into the chilly
night;
He careaaed me with hia finger-
tips ,
And then ho drew me to his
lips.
He held me there for a long,
long time,
Sueli blisa as that seemed quite
sublime.
When we stopped parking and
went on tq the dance
I was so wrinkled and mussed
the people stared, askance.
He was ashamed of me so he
left me, deserted,
While the pretty hat cheek girl
he flirted.
During the evening I was not-
ised by a stranger
Wlio idly phiyed with mo and
then left m.e in danger
Of being tramped upon, scuffed
about, and crushed
Till the feeble life left in my
being was hushed.
But sueli is my fate] I've never
seen a man yet
Who could treat with decency
his own cigarette.
137 Students On
2nd Preliminary
Honor Roll
The honor roll for the second
preliminary report is one of the
smallest in the history of Tarle-
ton. This fact has drawn much
favorable comment from the Dean
and faculty members, and it sym-
bolizes the great advances which
Tarleton is making in her scho-
lastic standing.
As usual, there were no girls
on the roll. It is high time that
the fairer sex should come to life
and make some showing in literary
work as well as in athletics and in
military lines.
Thy roll consists of the follow-
ing names:
"Spike Butler, Otis Richey, John
Cochran, L. J. Baker and Sam
Dangler.

Francis E. Townsend, the pen-
sion planner, was once a country
doctor in the Black Hills of South
Dakota,
Triangular doughnuts baked with
wooden handles to facilitate dunk-
ing have been invented.
A. Zeiglemeyer—
(Continued from Page 1)
paign for his buddy with his whole
heart and still continue his chem-
istry lab course, he has reluctantly
decided to drop the latter now,
even though it means breaking oif
relations with his desk-partner.
There you have it.
It gives the J-Tae great pleasure
to announce Mr, Zeiglemeyer as a
candidate and promise him our ut-
most in the way of loyal support
If the thousands of ex-Tarleton-
ites vote for Zeiglemeyer, as the
J-Tac has requested them, our
Tarleton junior should doubtleaa
be elected.

milder.. .Chesterfields are COOLER-SMOKING

These three good things and everything
about Chesterfields... their size, shape

the cigarettes that SATISFY.
