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.
