This story by the Associated Press' Robert E. Ford is based on
more than was spent in the entire first half century
of NTSU’s existence. Yet the land purchased in the
ton as that historic day in 1890 when a college was
first established in Denton.
The proposal he referred to is described in de-
tail on Page 1, Sec. 1, today. At this point, the pro-

Even though most of the topic*
are of a strictly Roman Catholic
nature there will be much done
at the council of interest to non-
Romans.
For example, the bishops will
study a proposal to assert reli-
gious freedom as "a human right
and also will examine the church’s
position on church-state relations
Religious freedom also will be
considered in discussions concern-
ing Christian unity.
In the reform of canon law, the
council is expected to emphasize
social teachings.

- Against All Odds
The growth of the Denton-Dallas- Fort Worth tri-
angle has been against all odds. It can be described
as totally unlike any other area in the nation, pos-
sibly in the world.
One of the odds against which the region has
grown is the lack of water transportation. Vice
President Johnson says our region is the world’s
most heavily populated without the asset of water
transportation.
You can look on any map and see he is right.
All the great cities in the world have received their
one big impetus from a harbor. This is partly be-
cause transportation facilities are probably the most
important physical aspect of our lives. With the
impetus of water transportation facilities, the great
cities of the world have taken off from there.

of seeking federal funds just to join the lines of
those seeking handouts. We believe most Dentonites
feel the same wav about the indescriminate use of
federal funds and deplore the many new programs
proposed from time to time more for political rea-
sons than for logical national programs.
But as everyone knows, there are some things
which can be done only by the national government.
And after observing at close range over the years
the growing land acquisition problems at NTSU
and TWU, this newspaper is convinced that the pro-
posal now being discussed is the only logical answer
for the continued development of Denton as the uni-
versity center of the Southwest.
The proposal, if it is finally approved, will not be
an easy one to administer or to explain. It is one of
the few federal programs in which complete local
control is exercised to the point that Denton can
change its mind and pull out of the program almost
at any point.
But there really is no reason for Denton to be
afraid of the proposal, even though it will be diffi-
cult. In the last four or five years, particularly,
Denton has shown that it can do anything it wants
to do. The Record-Chronicle believes Denton wants
to continue to be the university center of the South-
west. If that belief is correct, all of Denton will
give strong, rational consideration to the proposal
now before us. Only we can carry it out.
