dealloc linked list

this function deallocates a linked list. but it deallocates everything, including the head of the list.
how can i make it deallocate everything besides the head?

void deallocate()

{

        tstudent *current=list->next;

        tstudent *previous=list;

        while(current)

        {

                delete previous;// deallocation of list elements including head

                previous=current;

                current=current->next;

        }

        delete previous;

        return NULL;

};

Well, point 'previous' to list->next and 'current' to the node after that one.
