Tarleton Goes Communist
Tarleton State College at Stephenville last week went Com-
munis'!.. The cause -of this sudden conversion is yet to be dis-
covered. Something like one out of five students were seen
waving red slips of—red—paper. To the casual observer^ Tarle-
ton is all for Joel Comrade! '
(Really folks—we think it deplorable that a state institution
has- succumbed to the Red,wave. Could be that something could
be done about it; We talked to that notable scientist Dr. Sammy
Slockenheimer and lie said:
'"In.my opinion, which of course is really nothing, the only
ancedole to counteract this disease is a rapid increase .of the
over-exhileration of the muscle, mind, and—whatever else you
might have. An exercise for; the muscle is the slight bending of
the back. Nothing is better for the mind thau reading a good
dull book.f This is my final word—STUDY!"
Students—are you in league with the Communists? If you
aren't, for heaven's sake study so that at the. end of another five'
weeks those little red' slips will not be showing!)
How About a Conference?
"Won't you please, please, conie in for a conference this
week?" How many times has the average Tarletonite heard
■this-plea since .the term began ? Doubtless at, least once in each
class. Hut what does Joe Campus do during his off periods? He
goes to the- rec hall and dances all afternoon with Betty Coed,
or wanders over to watch the girls* fencing team work out.
Never"does he find time for that conference. Let the harrassed
teacher rave, at will, Joe just won't come.
This is just one more situation that nee/lg correction, but
wouldn't -the teachers'be-shocked tfr hi* did conie, just once?

There have been a few changes
made in some of the couples on the
campus.
. Gene Ragsdale and C. A. Wiikins
have been going1 together very reg-
ularly.
Pat Collinsworth has been go-
ing with Lloyd Corder, and Nolan
Strong was with Sue Spratt at
the library the other night.
Johnnie Johnson seems to be
waiting for something or maybe
someone. Who ia it, Johnnie?
Lewis Holt has his eye on Lyn-
dith Leifeste.
Billy Hill and Dottie Jackson
were together at the Lamar game.
Sue Spratt is the light in both
Jimmy Laughlin's and Leon Wal-
lace^ eyes. Wait a .minute. Sue,
don't take them all.
Buddy Fair has shown definite
interest in Frances Caldwell.
JoUn Crockett and Potty Will-
mg'lmm have made up after being
at outs for over- a week. What
happens to Ed Johnson, or is Lou
Cunningham taking care of him?
Ann Bryan and Bill Spinks have
been going together. Fencing can
play cupid, too.
Thumper Willingham and Jim
Moss: Please make up your minds
—this column is supposedly the
truth and what can we say about
you two if you keep breaking up?
Mary June and Perry Nelson
made a cute couple at the Lamar
j game dance—so did Bettye Talley
and Harold' Walker (Deaner).
LaVonne Foss and Joe Alexan-
der were together again last week-
end at A&M.
Annette Marchman and Jon Cor-
nish . and Frances Jordan and Pat
Crawford went to Graham over the
week-end. '
Lo^ks like Surber has that light
in his eyes finally—who's the lucky
girl?—Didn't you expect it to b,e
Anne Sheffy?
'Beverly' Burns and Gene Ar-
buckle are still going strong.
Why is Harold Ball so far out
of circulation with the girls?
Barbara Bruce got a long-dis-
tance call from her special boy-
friend from home, /
T-Bone (Anne Kay to you) was
visiting some of the girls in the
dorni over last week.
Mona Goodloe and James Barr,
both ex-Tarletonites, were married
Saturday night before last, and
IfcrcTIfving- in Lubbock.
Betty Jo Loveless—is it going to
be two hearts or two diamonds?
This column is intended strict-
ly t,o have reader interest and hot
to cause hard feelings or possible-
breakups.
Gordon, just how do you expect
to make a 3.00 grade ratio with
Donna on your mind? You should
study some nights.
Jimmy Darling says for all girls
to be on the lookout for he is still
on the loose.

The engineering department is
showing two. shows, on November
7 at 5:00 p.m. in room 327 of
the Sciencc Building; Everyone is
invited to attend these .picture* by
the engineering faculty.
"On to Jupiter/' the first show,
shows the achievements of science
■ y
approach—the spirit of change in
leading America toward finer
things and a better life.
In electricity, chemistry, aviation,
medicine, transportation and agri-
culture, the ■ test tube ' and the
proving ground are carrying us
steadily forward. Through new
powder metallurgy, for example,
and through the development of
the two-cycle Diesel engine, new
steel processes,'" advancement in
air conditioping, aviation develop-
ments, improvements in the prep-
aration of food, and progress in
medical research, we are advancing
to the .threshold, of a life that can
be more abundant and comfortable.
In short,j; here is a pictorial
demonstration of somo ■ of the
things which can be attained by
holding to our principles of free-
dom .and opportunity*
"Harnessing Liquids/' a 12-min-
ute film on hydraulies^.ig the.other
picture to be shown. The under-
lying principle of hydraulics is ex-
plained simply and graphically in
this scientific film.
The film goes on to depict num-
erous uses of this principle of
hydraulics. Hydraulic power . is
shown operating the brake drum
of an automobile, raising and low-
ering landing pear of an airplane,
raising service station hoists, op-
erating a woqd-ci-usher, .and a
hydraulic press for shaping metals.
"Harnessing Liquids" thus pre-
sents an account of one of the
many ways in which man, through
his understanding of a natural
principle, makes nature work for
him.

Have you ever' tried studying
your government or memorizing
Chaucer with drills, : hammers,
buzzsaws, bulldozers and cannon
fire not three, yards away ? Well,
that's just exactly whaj the poor
Gough girls have been going
through for the last five weeks.
The new parlor is being built be-
tween Gough and Lewis halls, and
from -8 to 5 everyday. the dorms
shake and reverberate, as do my
poor brain cells.
I never .fail to gqt a phone call
—-usually long distance-—right in
the midst of one pf the longest
and loudest drill sessions. Who-
ever I'm talking to probably thinks
we test atom bombs here.
Really,, .though, the girls are
looking forward to. their new par-
lor, but right now, they live for
quitting time, every day. Then
there is a little peace.
