44th YEAR
NORTH TEXAS STATE COLLEGE. DENTON. TEXAS
FRIDAY, AUG. 4, 19*1
NO. 44
Two Streets Added
To One-Way Plan
One-block sections of Sycamore
and Mulberry Streets will be add-
ed to the one-way street system
to ease traffic conization around
Terrill and North Brace women'*
dormitories, Denton officials re-
ported this week.
The Mulberry -Sycamore change-
over will be a part of the new one-
wuy plan cxpccted to go into ef-
fect between Sept. 1 and IB.
Parking on Mulberry will be
increased by about 20 places since
angle parking will be permitted
on the north side between Avenues
B and C. No parking will be al-
lowed en the south side.
Sycamore will be one way east,
emptying into the north-bound one-
way traffic of Avenue B, and Mul-
berry will take traffic west.
Campus to Downtown
Under the new system, Hickory
Street will carry one-way traffic
from the North Texas campus to
the downtown area, and Oak will
be one way west. Elm and Lo-
cust Streets will be the north-
south one-way thoroughfares.
A one-way traffic pattern around
the campus will include Avenue A
going south, Chestnut west, Ave-
nue B north and Hickory east.
One businessman whose firm
faces the north side of the campus
had no great objections to the new
system developed as a part of Den-
ton's Master Plan. But he did
question the timing.
"Why didn't the city get the
system under way in midsummer
so the local citizens could get used
to it before the incoming fall stu-
dents are faced with the change?''
he asked. As it stands, Denton cit-
izens and some 8,000 to 8,500 stu-
dents coming in at mid-September
will all have the problem of ad-
justing to the new system at the
same time.
Effective in September
City Engineer Conrad Callicoatte
pointed out that he hopes to get
the system under way by Sept. 1.
But he said that the change defi-
nitely will go into effect before
the fall semester begins.
"It would be too big a mess if
we waited a couple of weeks after
students were here before we did
it," he said.
Theater Plans
'Wizard of Oz
"The Wizard of Oz" has been se-
lected for the Children's Theater
presentation on Aug. 21.
The production, to be presented
in the Studio Theater, is the
Speech .'140 class project. Dr. E.
Robert Black will direct the play.
"The whole purpose is to show
the class how they can do children's
theater simply," Dr. Black said.
"They are finding out how to com-
bine the elements so there will be a
minimum of movement in set
changes."
Although there were open try-
outs, most of the cast was selected
from the class, which is a course
in children's theater and audito-
rium activities.
"I gave people in the speech
course first chance because I
wanted them to get the experi-
ence," Dr. Black explained.
The first performance will 1h> at
10:15 a.m. and the second perform-
ance at 7 p.m.
President J. C. Matthews noted
that there is not enough time to
get the system going any sooner
that the early weeks of Septem-
ber.
"We will barely get everything
done in the intermediary period
between college sessions," he add-
ed. Work for the system will in-
clude erecting signs, changing
lights, and marking angle park-
ing. In addition, the streets under
which water pipes have recently
been laid must be re.iurfaced.
Stop Light Removals
Callicoatte said there will be no
other major changes, but there
will be a few stop light removals.
The lights at Avenue A and
Hickory and at the Bolivar-Oak
intersection will be removed. Al-
though not affected by the one-
way system, the stop light at
Avenue C und Highland will huve
a flashing attachment added. It
will give stop and go signals only
during Laboratory School class
periods.
The streets connecting Oak and
Hickory will remain two way so
thut turning around will be less
complicated. These streets includc
Avenues C and B. Fry, Welch,
Denton, Williams, Piner and Cedar
Streets.

Fall Lunch Service Time
Plan Forms
From Pleas
Of Workers
ONE-WAY STREETS, designated by arrows, will be in effect this
fall in an attempt to alleviate traffic jams around the campus.
Fry Street, Avenue B north of Hickory, and Mulberry and Syca-
more Streets east of Avenue A will remain open to two-way traf-
fic.
New Grade Requirements To Limit
Student Class Load in Long Term
New scholastic requirements
which limit the hours a student
having less than a B average may
take will go into effect this fall,
Vice-President J. J. Spurlock re-
minded students this week.
Students who made lower than
a 2.0 last spring or who do not
have a 2.0 over-all average on 24
houis' work at North Texas can-
not take 18 hours, and graduating
seniors with less than a B average
may not take an overload under
the new regulations for the long
session. The Faculty Council ap-
proved the changes last fall.
Old Rules
Old rules allowed a student
without a B average in the long
session to register for 18 hours as
long as he did not sign up for ft
three-hour courses.
This year a student who does
not have a 2.0 may take only 17
hours unless he is enrolling in a
physical education course or in
Air Science 101 or 202. In this
ease he may take 18 hours.
Previously a graduating senior
with a 2.0 could schedule up to 20
hours if they were needed for
graduation. Beginning in Septem-
l>er there will be no overload for
any graduating senior without the
required B average.
Same 2.0 Requirements
Requirements in the long ses-
sion for students with a 2.0 re-
main unchanged.
The summer load requirements
also will be changed next year.
Old regulations for the summer
session allowed any student to
schedule seven semester hours each
term for a total of 14 hours.
New requirements provide that
the student without a 2.0 may
schedule only six semester hours
unless one course is four hours ,
and the other is three. The second
exception permits students to i
schedule one hour in physical edu-
cation during one of the terms of
a summer session, giving the stu-
dent 13 hours for the summer.
Music Groups Set
Combined Concert
The Summer Choir and Sym-
phony Orchestra will combine ef-
forts again Aug. II for their sec-
ond joint musical venture of the
summer.
Assisting in the program begin-
ning at 8:15 p.m. in the Music Re-
cital Hall will be the Male Chorus,
the Woodwind Quintet and the
Brass Choir.
The first hall of the program
will consist of numbers by the I
chorus, quintet and choir. "Um j
Mitternacht" ("At Midnight"), j
sung by the Male Chorus with 1
contralto soloist Miss Juanita
Teal, is first on the program, .lack
Roberts, faculty pianist, will as-
sist Noah Knepper, orchestra con-
ductor, in playing Anton Brueh-
ner's work.
"Andante for Double Woodwind
Quintet," by S. Taneyev, will be
performed by the 10-member stu-
dent group.
Leon Brown will conduct the
Brass Choir in four numbers rang-
ing from Rudolph (ianz's "Brassy
Prelude" to "Essay," by S. Mis-
son.
The second half of the concert
will feature the Summer Choir in
Bach's "Magnificat." Soloists are
Miss Margaret Kalil, Miss Teal,
Mildred Armstrong, Norman
Whitlock, and Carl Rogers.
The cantata is based on Luke
1:4fi-55, St. Mary's hymn of praise.
Formerly any student could
schedule nine semester hours in one
term if the hours were needed for
graduation. This meant that he
could schedule a maximum of 15
hours for the two terms of a sum-
mer session.
No Overload Allowed
The new rules do not ullow an
overload for a graduating student
without a 2.0 average. For stu-
dents with a 2.0 the old rule is the
same except for a provision whic-i
states the student may not schedule
nine semester hours in one term
if he lucks only nine hours at the
!>eginning of the summer session.
The rule which provides that
summer students with a B average
may take a maximum of eight
hours in one term and a total of
14 hours during the summer was
not changed.
The Student Union Build-
ing Cafeteria will remain open
each class day until 12:30
p.m. this fall to meet a de-
mand for more lunch service,
Dr. Harold Farmer, UB di-
rector, announced Tuesday.
Although the cafeteria has lieen
serving complete lunches during
the summer session, it has pre-
viously closed st II :30 a.m. during
the long t rm.
Abate Lunch Problems
Dr. Farmer said that the cafete-
ria will operate on this schedule
"to relieve the situation in the
Snack Bar, to add variety in the
lunch menu and to serve those who
do not have time to eat in the dorm
or in their apartments."
North Texans' increasing de-
mand has helped hring about the
change. Persons who work in the
offices on campus have asked to
have the cafeteria open during the
long session, Dr. Farmer said.
One reason the cafeteria ha?
closed previously is because of the
small kitchen. "The cooks did not
have the time or the space to pre-
pare lunches for the students," he
said.
Aid Commuters
This will help the commuter par-
ticularly, the director noted. It will
also l>e an advantage with the
coming increase in enrollment.
"Just as during the summer, the
student will be handed a numbered
card when he places his order.
When it is ready, his number will
be called," he said. This will keep
the person behind from getting the
wrong order.
"By keeping the UB Cafeteria
open an hour ionger, it might stop
the students from taking bottles j
from the UB," he added. Many bot-
tles are lost from cold drink ma-
< hines in the building because stu-
dents take the drinks with them
to eat lunch elsewhere.
The cafeteria will be operated
on a first come-first served basis,
and the prices will remain the
same.

TV Course To Teach
New Biology' in Fall
A college participation TV
course teaching "The New Biol-
ogy" will be offered at North Texas
beginning in the full term. Dr. Da-
vid R. Redden of the biology fac-
ulty will Im' campus coordinator.
The course will be offered in co-
operation with the Columbia
Broadcasting System's "Television
College of the Air"' series. It will
lie carried by KRLD-TV (channel
4) of Dallas.
Second TV Course
"The New Biology" is the second
accredited television education
course to be offered at North Tex-
as. The first series, carried last
year by the National Broadcasting
Co. on "Continental Classroom,"
offered advanced studies in mathe-
matics.
Look, Ma, No Hands!
At 130 Words a Minute
AND NO MISTAKES EITHER!... Camilla Boren of McKinney, a
Registrar's Office assistant, seems amaied at the accuracy and
speed contained in this new. completely automatic typewriter
which the college recently purchased.
A newly installed typewriter
in the Registrar's Office types
away at 180 words a minute
with no errors, and more sur-
prising no operator.
It is the Auto-typist, manu-
factured by the American Au-
tomatic Typewriter Co. Pur-
chased to type admission letters
to North Texan applicants, the
Auto-typist is the first of its
kind on campus.
STANDARD paragraphs are
worded, numliered and type
punched into a roll of specially
prepared paper. This roll of pa-
per, when inserted in the Auto-
typist, arts somewhat like the
roll for a player piano. Any com-
bination of these prepared para-
graphs may be obtained merely
by punching the numbered keys.
Costing nearly $2,000, the ma-
chine is expected to he a big help
In answering the heavy flow of
inquiry letters which are deliv-
ered to the Registrar's Office
each day.
ONE OF the student clerks
who will operate the machine,
Camille Boren of McKinney, ex-
plained that the Auto typist will
not type the date or address on
letters since they are not in
eluded on the master roli, She
types this information manually,
then keys in the desired para
graphs. Until the start button
is punched, the operator can
type in normnl fashion.
HOWEVER, maybe automa-
tion isn't everything. One by
stander was heard to remark,
"One thing for sure, you would
never invite that thing to have
a cup of coffee with you!"
Dean Will Attend
Home Ec Meeting
Dean Florence Scoular of the
School of Home Economic* will at
tend an executive board meeting of
the Texas Home Economics Asso-
ciation at the Adolphus Hotel in
Dallas Saturday.
The hoard will plan for next
year's activity of the association.
Dr. Scoular is a past president
and vice-president of the group.
National instructor for the biol-
ogy courses will In- Dr. Ray Kop- j
pelman, assistant professor of bio- i
chemistry at the University of
Chicago.
Prerequisites for the program
will Im- one year of college biology
and one year of college chemistry
Students will Ik1 required to
watch the 25-minute program, 1m>-
ginning at 7 a.m. Sept. 25. Monday i
through Friday of each week, and
meet in Masters Hall at 11 a.m. Sat-
urday for a two-hour lecture by
Dr. Redden. Students will receive
three hours' credit each semester.
Dr. Redden will summarise the
week's lectures and add informa
tion he thinks is no"-' -d to clarify
the subject matter.
Emphasis on .1 Concept*
The course is designed to empha
size three ma.ior concepts of biol
ogy:
1. The study of the biochemical
approach to life; that is. the stud)
of the cells as developers of hu
man characteristics. "Life is strict
ly chemical and physical, a senes
of chemical reactions following
physical laws," Dr. Redden said.
Following this theory, the -tudent
will not be studying the classifica
tion of life, but mainly its devel
opment.
2. A study of possible biological
problems of the future in relation
to cell development.
!<. The understanding of man's
place in the scheme of life, includ-
ing the advances made in scientific
methodr of inquiry.
Discussion Topics
Topics to lie discussed in the
| courses include a concept of life,
a microscopic itudy of cells, the
i physics and chemistry of life, the
| sources of cell energy and how to
contain it, and the transmission of
hereditary characteristics.
Also, the evolution of hereditary
characteristics; the comparison "{
the cell structures of modern and
ancient animals, plants, man and
nature; and a study of the devel-
opment of organ systems derived
from a single cluster of cells.
Students may register for the
course on registration day, or at
the first class meeting on Sept. 30.

"The United States will go
ahead of Russia in the space race
when the younger generation in
the United StateN thinks more in
teims of calculus than Cadillacs,"
llarold Pluimer, educational con-
sultant for the Nuiiol'uil Aeronau-
tics and Spare Administration this
summer, said Thursday.
Pluimer, who is Minnesota's full-
time science consultant, and Rob-
ert Knutson, a physics teacher in
St. Paul, Minn., brought the
NASA Spaeemobile exhibit to the
campus Thursday afternoon. A
capacity crowd of 150 witnessed
the demonstration in the Physics-
MathematicBuilding.
"In many respects we are ahead
of Russia and in many ways we're
behind," Pluimer observed. Amer-
ica excels Russia in its program
of "miniaturisation," or producing
tiny parts for the space vehicles
and instruments, he explained, but
Russia is definitely ahead in thrust
and propulsion.
The need for young Americans
in the space field is staggering.
Pluimer -aid. The United States
needs 200,000 professional mathe-
maticians and 40,(Kill atomic phys-
ic 1st- i ight now The NASA has
a recruiting learn searching
throughout the country for quali-
fied men and woman with B.A de-
gree- in math and the sciences.
Commenting on the latest "man-
in-space" accomplishments, Pluim-
er said the most important result
of the United States' and Russia's
success in this area is that the
world now knows that man can
survive and function normally in
outer space.
Pluimer commented that the
world ha- no idea of the value >
which the space probes will pro-
duce for us.
"It is analogous to Columbus
discovery," he -aid. "The explorer
had no idea of what he had done
or the effects it would produce on
the world."
I'sing as an example the TIROS
weather satellite, which was dem-
onstrated at the exhibit in scale
model form, the consultant said
that the satellite can photograph
weather formations months away.
The satellite is an improvement
in forecasting the weather because
it can observe 1 <K) per cent of the
earth where the weather station
can observe only 4 per cent.
"Space travel will probably be
cheaper than our conventional
means of travel in a few years,"
Pluimer added.
The program will be shown in
IS Texas colleges and universities
and on television in Dallas between
Thursday and Aug. 15.
