Students May Pay
$56,000 in Taxes
By JIM WHEKLKR
Approximately 8,000 North Tex-
an students may pay an much ai
$66,000 in state sales taxes this
fall and spring.
The new 2 per cent general sales
tax on items costing 25 cents or
more is scheduled to go into ef-
fect Sept. 1.
How will a tax of this nature
affect the student's budget?
If he is living on an average
nine-month budget of $892, the
tax should amount to an estimated
$7 for the long term, considering
that one-half of everything bought
will be taxed.
A year's purchase of textbooks,
averaging $00, would cost the tax-
payer $1.20. Adding all the neces-
sary expenses for a year's school
supplies, the student might pay
up to $1.50 in taxes.
Tax on Meals
For most students, the 2 per
cent tax on all restaurant meals
in excess of 25 cents will be u
nuisance. Everytime one spends a
dollar there will be an additional
BA Major Varies
Studies; Becomes
Drummer 'for Fun'
A 22-year-old business major
with a yen for drums will be the
featured soloist at the Summer
Hand Concert at 8:15 tonight in
the Music Kecital Hall.
Joe Pullis, championship drum-
mer from Nocona, will receive his
master's degree in business ad-
ministration next week and will
teach at Tarleton State College
in the fall.
A band member four years at
North Texas, Pullis has played
drums since the third grade and
has won 46 out of 49 contests
thnt he has entered. In 1957 he
was a guest soloist on the Law-
rence Wclk Show. He played for
six years in the Texas All-State
Band and one year in the Arkan-
sas All State Band. In addition
he has conducted band workshops
in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Missouri.
Music Comes Naturally
Pullis conies by his love of music
naturally: his father once was u
band director. But he describes
the drums as "just a hobby that
I've studied a lot on."
At tonight's program, Maurice
McAdow will direct the 10 variety
numbers. The first half of the
program will consist of "Prelude
to the Festival," by Jaromir Wein-
berger; "King Stephen," by Bee-
thoven; "Danse of the Japanese
Youth," by Shigeo Tohno; and
"Portrait of 'This 01' Man'," a
band novelty by Kenneth Widdow-
son. Pullis' solo is "American Le-
gion Champion," by Vincent Mott.
Concluding number in the first
half is the well-known "Bolero
Espano," by Ernesto Lecuona.
Verdi March
Beginning the second half of
the concert with "King Duncan's
March" from "Macbeth," by Verdi,
McAdow will continue with "Be-
guinc for Flute," by Eric Over-
ling; "The Pearl Fishers," by Bi-
zet; and a modern work by Louis
Palange, "Symphony in Steel."
The program will end with the
"Marche Militaire Francaise," the
finale from the "Algerian Suite,"
by C. Saint-Saens.
2-cent payment. The itudent spend
ing $30 • month on meals in theae
restaurants will pay approximately
$5.40 in taxes for the entire school
year.
Some males interviewed went so
far as to suggest that their dates
carry pennies to help pay the way.
Seniors purchasing class rings
and jewelry will find that the tax
raises the price about 40 to 60
cents.
Utilities Coat Up
Students living in apartments
will find their gas, water, electrici-
ty, and service bills upped at least
2 per cent.
Coeds ure seemingly the only
students to profit from the new
tax. The 2.2 per cent selective
sales tax on cosmetics was slashed
in favor of the 2 per cent pro-
gram. This was done to simplify
ixtokkeeping procedures. The same
tax change was made on television
sets.
Merchants interviewed asserted
they would do everything possible
to collect taxes according to the
law. They believe that students
will lie confused as to how the
tax is to be applied to individual
items.
The merchandise will be marked
for display exactly as it is now.
When collecting the bill, the mer-
chant will add the tax to the re-
tail price shown on the label.
Regiatered Separately
The tax will Ik* registered sep-
arately on the cash register. This
subtotal will then be added to the
regular retail price shown, giving
a grand total. By following this
method of recording tax, the mer-
chant hopes to make an accurate
estimate of income tax deduction.
Voertman's and the Student
Trading Post expect initial er-
rors in the tax recording.
"The students, as well as em-
ployes, will be confused with the
new system," bookstore owner
Paul Voertman pointed out. He
predicted it would lie several
months before the tax could bt
handled with the greatest degree
of efficiency.
Another problem for merchants
will be the annoyance of maintain-
ing large supplies of pennies in
their cash registers. They expect
to keep nt least four times as many
they now do.

645 To Graduate;
Master's Degrees
Reach 208 Mark
Candidates for August gradua-
tion number 645, a slight decrease
compared with last summer's 683
candidates, Vice-President J. J.
Spin-lock reported this week.
Summer commencement will be-
gin at 8 p.m. Thursday at Fouts
Field. Candidates for B.A. degrees,
to lie presented in commencement
exercises by Dr. Spurlock, total
129. Graduate students are sched-
uled to receive 208 master's de-
grees and eight doctoral degrees.
Graduate diplomas will lie present-
ed by President J. C. Matthews.
"The Fine Art of Meditating"
will be the subject of Dr. Mat-
thews' closing remarks at the sum-
mer ceremony.
The benediction and invocation
will be given by the Rev. Ben F.
Hearn of the First Christian
Church. Leon Brown's Brass Choir
will play for the processional.
At 3 p.m. six graduating
AFROTC cadets will receive com-
missions in room 301 of the Ad-
ministration Building. Col. J. B.
McCauley of the business faculty
will present the certificates.
Of the 429 candidates for bach-
elor's degrees, 107 are from the
College of Aj-ts and Sciences, 127
from business administration, 179
from education, 6 from home
economics and 10 from music.
Students Drop Behind,
Tend To Switch Fields
More college students change
their majors "oecause they cannot
keep up with the requirements of
their major fields than for other
more personal reasons.
This is one of several conclu-
sions from a doctoral study by
Curtis James Firkins, one of eight
candidates for the doctor of edu-
cation degree Thursday.
Other factors in students'
changing majors, he found, are
shifting interest and lack of oc-
cupational information.
Only 16 per cent of those in one
phase of his study said social or
family situations influenced ma-
jor changes.
The other seven doctoral candi-
dates include Augusta Meredith
Fox, an administrative leader-
ship major, whose dissertation
topic is "Relationships Between
Personality and Leader Behavior

Retirement in September
Although September 1961 will
introduce North Texas to many
new students and faculty mem-
bers, it will also bring retire-
ment for two long-time North
Texans—Dr. Editha Luecke,
professor of home economics,
and Mrs. Nida Huckabee, social
director at Terrill Hall.
Dr. Luecke, who was graduat-
ed from NTSC in 1924 with a
B.S. degree, came here as a
teacher in the summer of 1927.
She received her M.A. degree
from Tulane University in 1927,
her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from
Columbia University in 1929 and
1941, respectively.
Mrs. Huckabee came to North
Texas in February 1950.
She has found the job of
dorm mother to be a great chal-
lenge and very rewarding, as
well as taxing. "You rise with
the earliest and go to bed with
the latest," she explained. "It's
a 24-hour job."

The announcement of the new
courses came as President J. C.
Matthews told of preparations for
an expected fall record enrollment
of more than 8,000.
Some departments, such as
English and foreign languages,
are expected to feel the impact of
the record enrollment harder than
others.
"In English we will have six
more full-time English teachers
than we had in the fall of '60,"
Dr. Matthews said.
He added that the budget for
part-time instructors will be trip-
led this fall over last September's
figure.
"Still, we're going to lie very,
very short in two or three places.
We're in trouble in biology before
we ever start registering," Dr.
Matthews remarked, Graduate stu-
dents will be encouraged to teach
and to direct labs if they are quali-
fied, be said.
The list of new courses includes
12 in the School of Business Ad-
ministration; 10 in the School of
Music; 4 in the foreign languages

C69 Can Accommodate
78 Booster-Passengers
A Constellation C69 is being considered to carry North
Texaria on the road trip to Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 11.
The largest prop plane made, the C69 would carry 78
North Texans to the out-of-town game in an hour and 45
minutes. This is 11 hours and four meals less than a train
requires.
Official approval has been given to charter the plane,
similar to one which former Presi-
dent Eisenhower used, if the de-
tails can be worked out with the
airlines, USNT President Mike
Koury announced this week.
Students would leave from one
of the three possible starting
points about 10 a.m. Nov. 11 and
lie in Memphis around noon for the
2 p.m. game. The NTSC delegates
would start the return about 8
p.m. and lie back at 10 p.m. the
same day. The trip by train would
take from Friday afternoon until
Sunday morning, Koury said.
The three possible departing
bases for the plane are Denton,
Fort Worth and Ardmore, Okla.
Ardmore is being considered be-
cause of a reduction in cost.
Traveling round trip from Fort
Worth, e ch student would pay
$37.26, which would make the total
plane trip cost $2,961. Approx-
imately $34 per student would be
the cost if the trip originated in
Denton. The cheapest fee would lie
approximately $32 if the plane
began the Memphis flight at Ard-
more. This would make the total
cost about $2,496.
If final approval is given the
plane trip, a campaign would be-
gin in September to secure stu-
dent reservations on a first-come,
first-served basis.
Koury predicted that the plane's
72 seats which would be available
to students would lie filled by the
middle of October. The remaining
seats would be reserved for mem-
liers of the faculty and adminis-
tration.
Students must secure permission
from their parents before the'-
Soft Drinks
To Cost Dime
At UB in Fall
The price of soft drinks at the
Student Union Building will go
up to 10 cents a bottle this fall,
Dr. Harold Farmer, UB director,
announced Tuesday.
One of the main reasons for the
increase is that bottles are not re-
turned, despite signs that tell stu-
dents not to take the I Kittles from
the area, he said.
Another factor is the purchase
of $10,000 worth of new machines
to be installed in the fall. "We
have to pay for the new ma-
chines, and they will be operated
on the dime lias's," Dr. Farmer
said.
The director also clarified an
earlier announcement on lunch
service to be offered this fall.
"The impression left was that
we will serve cafeteria-style
lunches like we have this sum-
mer," lie - aid, "but this is not the
case."
Although the cafeteria will re-
main open for an extra hour, the
menu will be the same as it was
last fall, he explained.
"We do not have the cooks, the
time nor the space to serve com-
plete lunches," Dr. Farmer said.
The cafeteria will serve sand-
wiches and breakfasts is it did 1 will be ali: wed to take the trip,

Art, BA To Get
Scholarships Again
Renewal of two North Texas
scholarships, one in art and the
other in business administration,
was announced Tuesday.
The Texas Federation of
Women's Clubs has designated
$250 for an art major.
A male student in the School of
Business Administration will re-
ceive a full tuition scholarship
from the Dallas chapter of the
National Office Management Asso-
ciation.
The art scholarship, which has
been donated for the second time,
will give $125 to one student each
semester.
Applicants must have at least
a 2.0 average and show need for
assistance. They should contact
Dr. Cora Stafford, director of the
art department.
The office management scholar- |
ship, established in 1959, will give
preference to a junior or senior
student this year.
Provision has been made that
half of the grant is to he repaid
without interest.
Selection of the recipient is
based upon scholastic standing,
character and financial need.
"A child looks for the obvious
and nil adult doesn't. That's what I
makes it so difficult," said Brent '
Davis, the magical Wizard of Ox |
in the hour-long play.
"It's different experience and
it's a challenge to convince young
people," said Scarecrow Joe Dan
Taylor.
"The students are finding out
how to combine the elements so
there will be a minimum of mov-
ing in set change," explained Dr.
K. Robert Black, director of the
! play.
During two intermissions, the
I audience will l>e entertained with
I a magic act by Davis and a clown
art.
Many of the students of the
I Speech 340 class are going into
varied fields and consider the ex*
! perience beneficial.
"I plan on writing and direct*
I ing children's programs on radio
I and TV," «aid Audrey George, a
radio and TV major from Mar-
shall.
Several members of the class
are taking the course to get an
all-level teaching certificate.
Other members of the cast are
Melinda Duke, Dallas; Joe Per-
kins, Klectra; Georgia Caros, Gal-
veston; Jo Ann Belote, Hillsboro;
Sandra Sims, Justin; Leslie Free-
man, Denison; and Dr. Black's
M-year-old son Casey.
Harry Murray, Dallas, Dr.
Black's assistant, designed the cos-
tumes and the scenery. Barbara
Spears, Dallas, is !>«> an assistant
