LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
University Benefits
From Compromise
Six years hro North Texas
achieved university status with the
siifniiiK of House Bill fi4f> by Gov-
ernor Price Daniel. The road to
university status had been a lonjf
one, beginning i" 1890 hh the pri-
vate Texas Normal College. Then
in succession it became North Tex-
as Normal College, North Texas
State Teachers College, North
Texas State College and, finally,
North Texas State University.
However, it takes more than a
mere signature on a piece of |>aper
to convert a school into a univer-
sity. It takes hard work, coopera-
tion and compromise on the part
of students and administration for
a school to fulfill its obligations
as a university.
To date it seems that it will take
as long for North Texas to fulfill
its obligations as a university as
the transition from normal school
to university took.
Progress has been slow, but the
scene is beginning to change. The
attitudes of lw>th the student body
and the administration are chang-
ing and the results are favorable.
Students, instead of demanding
more responsibility and then dem-
onstrating in front of the UB, are
now trying to show why they de-
Ministers Avoid Draft
serve more responsibility in cam-
pus affairs.
Students are going to the (hjIIs
in greater numbers. They are at-
tempting to bring about chants
not by joining radical organiza-
tions hut by forming a group to
discuss problems with administra-
tive and campus leaders. The rep-
resentative of the students, the
USNT Senate, is researching its
projects carefully and showing the
administration that vending ma-
chines and campus movies can l e
successful projects.
The administration is listening
to and helping to put USNT pro-
jects into action. It has let the Lab
Bands back into the UB for jazz
sessions. It has decided to give stu-
dents a voice in how the UB is to
be used and in developing a cam-
pus activities program.
Despite the changes, problems
still exist. Students are still apathe-
tic toward student government and
the administration still stands by
its "in loco parentis" j>olicy. The
recent changes, however, give hope
for future improvement. But it
will take hard work, cooperation
and compromise by both sides.

Clay Fights for Allah,
Army Fights for Clay
Most boxers—even the ones bat-
tered senseless over and over—
know when they've been knocked
out. Not Cassius Clay.
Clay, or Muhammad Ali as his
Black Muslim followers call him, is
so used to dancing and laughing at
his boxing opponents that now he's
doing it with the government. And,
in a unique reversal of roles, Clay
put himself on the canvas. It's up
to the government to see that he
stays down.
The soldiers in Vietnam, draft-
eligible youiitf men and mothers
who have sons fighting day by day
know how Clay stood still when
his fellow future inductees took a
step forward—into the Army. The
strapping Clay stood there, his face
as unmarked as t he pretty boy he
claims to be. He shrugged, and the
wheels of government started turn-
ing.
Clay's lawyers argue that the
Negro fighter-preacher is a true
Black Muslim minister, that he
devotes 160 hours a month to the
pulpit. They also charged that
Clay's draft board in Louisville is
prejudiced against Negroes and
particularly against Clay. He re-
cently moved to Houston and was
able to delay his induction notice.

Wall ace Enforces
Democratic Rule
For Alabamians
From Roger Durham, 1500 W. Oak. No.
36:
Gene Jackson's editorial in the April
28th Chat was a prime example of lib-
eral misrepresentation. His comparison
of Alabama's Gov. Wallace to Hitler was
nothing more than an appeal to emo-
tion and prejudice.
I do not agree with the ideas of Lur-
leen Wallace, nor do I agree with the
ideas of Hitler, and I can understand
Mr. Jackson's opposition to segregation,
but 1 must take issue with the charge
that Gov. Wallace is destroying demo-
cratic government.
The goal of democracy (which, inci-
dentally, is not the system under which
this nation operates) is to respond to
the will of the people, which is precisely
what Gov. Wallace is doing, so far as
the people of Alabama are concerned.
The attempt of the federal government
to legislate catholicity of taste is not
democracy—it is folly.
If Mr. Jackson wants his children to
attend integrated schools, the obvious
solution is to stay out of Alabama. When
tha Hti**ns of Alabama want integrated
schools, they will have them, with or
without the editorial aid of the Campus
Chat.
Meanwhile, if North Texas students,
both Negro and white, will concentrate
on getting along with each other as in-
dividuals, then everyone will be happy;
and when all the racists on both sides
have shot each other, we can all have an
integrated laugh.
The main point in the argument
is that Clay has been discriminated
against because of the unpopulari-
ty of his religion.
The undefeated heavyweight, an
ex-Olympic champion who pranced
his way to the rich world accom-
panying the boxing title, surely
preaches about his apparently deep
Black Muslim beliefs. Concerning
his fate now that he has denied
serving his country, Clay said,
"It's all in the hand of Allah.
Everything I've done has been for
Allah. He controls the air 1 breathe
and the turbulence in the heavens
for the airplane 1 ride.
"Money and title mean nothing
to me. They waste away. Spiritual
things are with you always."
And so the fight -with the long-
est count ever—will go on for a
while. Clay has been stripped of
his title, suspended from boxing
by the world boxing organizations
and marked for life n>r refusing to
serve the country that made him
rich. He's finished with boxing.
And, he'll be the first to admit,
boxing will suffer.
But Cassius Clay, the Black Mus-
lim minister, is not finished.
(■lay said it himself: "Money and
title mean nothing to me." They
do mean quite a lot to the power-
ful forces—-spiritual or worldly—
that gripped Clay and now control
his every move. The Black Muslim
purpose, its movement, surely has
not refused any contributions Clay
has offered. The movement was
well rewarded for Clay's few
rounds of work every so often.
It's wrong for anyone, or any
government, to deny Clay the right
to believe in his religion. Whatever
he says to offend, whatever rant-
ings against white people he
shouts, whatever he does—still, no
one has the right to forbid Clay to
believe as he pleases.
Until Clay made public his feel-
ings about the Black Muslims, he
was brash and conceited. He taunt-
ed his opponents with poetry that
made the public laugh but dug
deeply into the pride of all boxing.
But when he started talking
about Allah and Black Muslims, he
became somewhat solemn. He still
shouted about how great he thinks
he is and he still pampered himself
like a flawless statue come to life.
But now he did it to fool America,
to laugh behind the backs of those
who paid to see him.
Clay has said he will go to jail
rather than go in the service. He
will go to jail, but only for a short
time. His lawyers will find some
legal counterpunch that will free
Clay. Or, at least, he'll be in and
out of jails several times, like the
too-quick-to-see 1-2 punches he
strikes with.
Whatever is done—in Clay's
mind—will be done for Allah. Who
is to say it's wrong for Clay to
believe that?
But it is wrong to let him box
again, to ever let him take any
more money from America or to
ever make a fool out of the public.

Girls. Dames. Females. Broads. Wom-
en. Burds. The feminine sex. . . .
No matter what they're called, they're
still men's favorite subject (so I'm
told).
And since men like to talk about
women, 1 thought I'd put that male
conversation to use and find out some
opinions.
When asked to define femininity, one
N'T male said, "It's more than appear-
ance. It's an atmosphere surrounding a
girl that not only shows but gives the
feeling that she is a woman. It's aa
much inner quality as outward quality.
To the question, "What do you con-
sider unfeminine?" a student answered,
"I don't like girls who are loud or wear
Levis. And girls who smoke look cheap."
Two others answered, "Fishnet hose!"
And still another said, "I don't like girls
who are forward or chew their finger-
nails."
SOME OTHER THINGS men listed in
the "unfeminine category" were too-
For
Your
Information
If a student has three or
more final exams on one day
he may seek relief from the
vice-president for academic
affairs. The test schedule is
changed only for students
with three or more exams on
one day. The student is first
urged to try to schedule the
exam with another section. If
this is not possible, the vice-
president's office asks the
teacher to schedule a special
exam for the student — at the
instructor's convenience —
during exam week.
University policy requires
finals for all courses. Teach-
ers are expected to follow the
exam schedule except in in-
stances in which they receive
written instructions from the
vice-president. Students are
not permitted to take tests
early.

short hairstyles, stringy hair, "materni-
ty dress" styles and thick makeup.
"All fashions are good in their place,"
commented one observant male, "but
some girls just don't know how or when
to wear them. And while one style looks
good on one girl, it looks horrible on
another. But some girls wear something
just because it's in style, even though
it may look ridiculous on them."
Mini-skirts were rated No. 1 as men's
favorite fashion trend.
"But they can get so short," said one
student, "that you don't see anything
but thighs. How can you notice the dreas
or the face when a skirt is that abort?
"A girl with an extremely short skirt
is going to be leered at. And guya are
going to makes jokes about her," he con-
tinues. "About the safest place for a
girl in a mini-mini-skirt is in a cloaet
between 12 and 2 a.m."
OF COURSE, this seemingly critical
guy is not at all against "reasonable"
mini-skirts. But he added that it ia "aa
irritating to see the top of a girl's hose
showing from underneath a mini-skirt
as it is to see a strap sticking out of a
sleeveless dress."
One student said the most important
factor in achieving femininity ia poise.
"The trend in fashion seems to be
getting away from femininity," observes
a journalism major, "but most girla don't
seem to be following it, especially at
North Texas. . . and I'm glad."
"Ninety per cent of the girls here are
good looking," one student comments,
"but the other 10 per cent look groady!
And there's u big drop between the PO
and the 10 per cent."
"One of the main faults with North
Texas girls," adds another student, "is
that they're careless, and this careless-
ness leads to sloppiness, in both slight
and severe cases."
SOME OF THE LITTLE careless
things mentioned were wearing hose that
have reinforced heels with shoes that
have cutout heels, dirty hair, impressed
or dirty clothes, mismatched colors and
styles (such as black, out-of-style spike
heels worn with a brightly patterned
tent dress.)
Perhaps the main point brought out
by almost every man interviewed was
that girls should pay more attention to
what becomes them than what's in style.
The second most important point was
that there are some girls who have yet
to find out what docs become them, and
that theBe girls should pay more atten-
tion to styles. As one male pointed out,
"It seems like some girls just don't give
a darn what they look like. And, boy,
does it show!"

Relish a Dill Job?
Try Pickle Packing
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Job hunting season is open.
College students and high school stu-
dents alike are frantically searching for
that maximum pay, no-work job to pass
the summer—and gain a handsome bank-
roll on the side.
Some are lucky and have already
landed jobs such as counseling, life
guarding and working at Six Flags.
Others have given up hope and have
finally accepted a job as short-order
rook, construction and factory work . . .
all of which require a bit more dexterity.
For those of you who have given up
altogether, I'll let you in on a secret.
There is one business establishment you
have missed on your hunt.
There is a pickle factory, about 28
miles from Denton, where they are ready
and willing to take all the summer help
they can get.
OF COURSE, this is for the student
who's really desperate (as I was) and
who has an adventuresome spirit (I have
to have some excuse for taking the job).
The last, but important, qualification ia
that you aren't allergic to cucumbers.
Here are some things to help you
know what to expect before you accept
the job.
First, you're issued a uniform to pro-
tect your clothes from pickle juice. It's
good to have the uniform for protecting
your clothes, but you'll soon learn that
nothing can protect you from the smell
of the pickle juice.
Depending on the foreman's mood,
you're given a specific job. Working on
one of the four "assembly" lines, you'll
be packing pickles. . . by the hour.
But, if you're lucky, you'll get to be
a grader, and that's the aimplest job of
all. You stand before an endless con-
veyor belt and pick out the rotten pic-
kles. That is why the job is so easy: the
bad ones are easy to find. It's the good
ones that are lost in the shuffle.
ENOUGH ABOUT line jobs. It's tha
same routine every day, except for that
glorious day of the month when a new
shipment of olives arrive* Instead of
working in the line, you get to work at
tables. Being off the line, it is much
easier to pretend you're working.
The people shouldn't be surprising to
you. Just imagine the sort of person who
would work in a smelly pickle factory
year after year for 20 years, and that's
just the type of person you'll find there.
Of course, there'll also be a few guys
your age — about five others who got
desperate for a summer job.
Actually, the boys have much easier
jobs, from a girl's point of view. They
get to drive the fork lifts and dump bot-
tles and dip pickles (technical terms)
and exciting things like that.
But there is one fun and important
job for the girls too: working as quality
control supervisor. The qualifications are
easy to fulfill for most college girls:
have one year of college. The duties of
the supervisor, however, are more dif-
ficult and important than just packing
pickles.
THE SUPERVISOR must periodically
test the salt, sugar and acid content of
the pickles besides checking the weight,
volume and quality correctneas of the
pickles after they're packed in the jars.
And, when the lines are doing fresh
pack (when fresh, uncooked cucumbers
are packed into the bottles) it is the
duty of the supervisor to run the 60x20
foot pressure cookers.
You'd better know the difference be-
tween sour and dill pickles too. You'll
soon learn, and If you ever channel the
dill brine into the sour pickle jars, you'll
hear a lot about the differences of sour
and dill pickles.
Even though you have more room to
make mistakes and get yelled at, work-
ing quality control is better than pack-
ing picklea.
Besides all the wonderful money you
make (at $1.26 an hour?), there is
one other good point about the job: all
employes of the plant receive a 20 per
cent discount on all pickle products.
What a bargain!
Unfortunately, after eight hours a
day, six days a week, your appetite for
pickles may slacken.
