A nine-week "Summer Institute
In Modern Biology," sponsored by
the National Science Foundation,
ended here Tuesday.
Twenty high school biology
teachers from throughout the Unit-
ed States were chosen to partici-
pate in the nine-semester hour

The purpose of the institute was
to study high school biology courses
designed to be more meaningful in
terms of modern biology. The
course was set up "to explore theae

10<t Check Fee
To Start in Fall
B> II'HAN BINGO
A costly background of hot checks will
put the heat on North Texas students
this fall
Because uf aii abundance of bad
checks, the University Store is forced to
adopt u new check-cashing policy. Store
Manager A. B (Swede) Swenson said
Wednesday.
The policy will go into effect with the
beginning of the fall semester.
In 1966, nearly $1,000 worth of checks
was written off as uncollectable. The
store had SI7.792.H4 worth of checks re-
turned. for a variety of reasons, during
the year,
Di an attempt to cover losses, a fee of
10 cents will la* charged for cashing
checks. Persona! checks will lie limited
to $25 and payroll checks will cost 10
cents for each additional $25. Checks
issued by the school will be cashed free
Customers paying for purchases at
the cash register will not be charged
unless the check is written for an amount
25 per cent greater than the purchase,
Swenson said.
The store has changed another policy
and will no longer accept drafts Personal
checks must lie written on a check from
the bank that handles the account. This
change is a result of nationwide presaure
by the Knderal Reserve System Kach
bank has a magnetic number printed on
its che< k , which speeds up sorting by
the Federal Reserve clearing house. A
tit aft has no such number
The store's charge on returned checks
is also changing The service charge for
a returned check made good after the
first notice will remain $1. Kach noltce
thereafter will add $1 to the service
charge. If charges must be filed with the
district attorney, there will be a $3 fee
in addition to court costs
Persons who give two returned checks
will lose their check-cashing privileges
permanently.

Something To Think About
Summer students sometimes find their scholastic thoughts drifting. Here
North Texan Bill Rainbolt has obviously let his mind stray from its classroom
thoughts. Books always talce second place to girls at the swimming pool.

degree candidates will take written pro-
ficiency examinations in foreign langu-
ages Tuesday and Wednesday.

Teachers Skip
Federal Benefits
Many area teachers are eligible to
draw Social Security benefits during the
summer months but are missing out by
not asking for them.
If they are otherwise eligible for So-
cial Security but teach nine months of
the year, they may receive retirement
wife's or widow's benefits during the
summer months they do not work, even
though they have an income from teach-
ing.
Most teacher-beneficiaries make too
much as teachers to qualify. However,
under the newly amended retirement
testa, beneficiaries may be paid for
months in which they do not earn more
than $125. (Jus Jones, district manager
of the Sherman Social Security office,
said. "This is true regardless of the total
earnings during the year."
By KAYE SISK
"The state university of the 1960s,
and into the indefinite future, ia being
increasingly called upon to do more than
research and teach." says Dr. Mary
Evelyn Huey of the government faculty.
North Texas State is attempting to
fullfill this obligation with a aeries of
seminars on local government in the Dal
as-Fort Worth-Denton area.
The work will start here Aug. 18
with a conference of NTSU faculty
members, federal, state, regional and
local officials including city managers
and county judges. They will discuas the
needs of public service and plan the
seminars.
The seminars are to be financed by a
$12,500 federal grant under the Higher
Education Act of 11M55. Another grant
involved is $50,000 for a Community
Services Center, the first in Texas
The Community Services Center, a
suite of offices in the Rayzor Building,
is being cooperatively established by
NTSU and Texas Woman's University.
Dr Huey said, "We hope and suppose
that eventually the seminars will be-
come a part of the center."
DR, Ht'EY invited 65 delegates from
the North Central Texas Council of
Governments, and leaders from 10 coun-
ties in the area. There will be represen-
tatives from the Federal Aviation Agen-
cy and the Internal Revenue Service.
The regional director of the Women's
Bureau of Labor will attend.
Twenty major U. S. cities have con-
ducted conferences and seminars such
as the ones planned here. These include
Wichita, Little Rock, Cincinnati and St.
Louis.
Texas Christian University and Arl-
ington State College are planning a sim-
ilar seminar series, but Denton's Com-
munity Service Center is unique.
Dr. Griffin said, "The center will not
only serve the Denton erea but will car
ry on activities wherever they are need-
ed, on both campuses (TWU and NT)
and possibly in Fort Worth and Dallas."
The center will mainly serve the North
Texas area but may lie expanded to
serve the entire state.
THE PURPOSE of the Aug. 16 con-
ference ia to identify and define specific
needs of government and government
offii .als that can be met through a series
of short courses, workshops, research
and service activities provided through
the NTSU government department. They
will be held in the 1966-67 academic
year A beginning date will be set at
the conference.
The conference will begin at the Ra-
tnnda Inn where the needs of this type
of public service are to be discussed,
Afternoon sessions will be held in the
Community Center.
Six NTSU faculty members will serve
Band, Choir,
Musicians To End
Orchestra Tuning Up
Season With Rainbows, Butterflies
The Summer Choir and Summer Or-
chestra, under the direction of Frank
Mc Kin ley and Dr. George Morey, respec-
tively, will present a concert Aug. 16, at
8:15 p.m. in the Music Kecital Hall.
The featured work of the program will
be "Blind With Rainbows," a cantata
written by Dr. William P. Latham of
the music faculty.
The program is free.
Other works on the program include
the "M isaa Brevis" by Brian Kelly, "So-
nata in F" by Toscano, the "Concert
Grosser in G Minor" by Vivaldi and
"Instrumental Miniatures" by Stravin-
sky.
The "Missa Brevis" will lie accom-
panied by organist Carl Moehlman. The
solo roles of the "Concert Grosse" will
be performed by Wayne Bailey and
Roxanna Hoover, violins, and Barbara
Grunow, violoncello.
ALAN RICHARDSON, a member of
the music faculty since 1945, will per-
form the violoncello solo in the "Mar-
cello Sonata in F." The sonata was
written for the violoncello and string
orchestra.
"Blind With Rainbows" was commis-
sioned by the State College of Iowa
Foundation. It was first performed at
the dedication of Iowa's $1 million Mu-
sic Building in May 1982.
An Iowa poet, James Hearst, prepared
the text, from which the title was taken
The title comes from a stanza that
reads:
"Sing of the time when blind
with rainbows
And torn by our need to flow-
er we come
Thrusting our way toward light,
our voices
Mount on the beat of the
sun's great drum."
THE COMPOSER. Dr. Latham, came
to North Texas in July 1965. He had
taught for 19 years at State College of
Iowa, Cedar Falls.
Dr. Latham is best known for his
band works, although works in other
media have been performed in Canada,
Europe and the United States,
The Summer Concert Band will end
ita performances for the year next
Friday at 8:15 p.m. in the Music Recital
Hall.
Jerry Ann Vann will be the featured
soprano soloist. She will du numbers
from "Madam Butterfly," "Naughty Ma
rietta" and "West Side Story." The
band pieces will include Carmen Drag
on's arrangement of "America, the Beau-
tiful," "Youth Triumphant Overture" by
Henry Hadley, "Trilogy for Band" by
Clifton Williams and some marches.
THE SOLOIST, who is working on
her maater of music degree, has sung
leads in operas at North Texas and was
soloist for the A Capella Choir's tour
of Europe. Miss Vann plans to finish
her degree this summer. In January she
will join the Shreveport Repertory Com-
pany to sing the role of Gilda in "Rigo-
letto."
The Summer Concert Band is com-
posed of 3.'1 students and 98 band direc-
tors, who come in the summer to read
music they might want to use in their
own bands.
The band is directed by Maurice Mc-
Adow.
He said the last concert of the year
will be lighter than those in the long
term.
ONLY TWO concerts are given each
summer. The band presented 17 con-
certs last year.
The band's next concert will be Dec.
11.
During the football season, the band
gives no concerts but performs at the
pep rallies and football games.
The concert is free and is open to
everyone.
on panels for discussion and six will be
speakers at the conference.
Possible seminars to be planned in
the Community Center will be centered
on intergovernmental relations in the
area and on public administration.
THE Fl'.NCTION' of Dr Griffin in the
seminar program is to help the Uni-
versity Cooperative Board to submit
proposals of the government department
to aid local governments.
Jack L, Reynolds. Denton city mana-
ger, said, "The whole nation has come
to the realization that we have urban
problems, and the study of them is long
overdue."
The anticipated results of the semi-
nars and the service center are to help
solve problems of local governments and
to help in metropolitan area research.
"In the community service program,
Dr. Griffin said, "there is a need for
understanding, research, a sharing of
viewpoints and a new concept."
Reynolds said, "1 am delighted that
North Texas is making an effort to get
into the problem of how and where we
live."
Dr. Huey said there is a need for the
school to provide new services to the
public, which supports the institution.
"It is in answer to these demands that
many of the new activities of North
Texas are being initiated," she said.
New Education Loans
Ease Financial Strain
The assistant commissioner of the
Texas Colleges and Universities System
has predicted that federai loans and the
Texas Opportunity Plan, a loan fund for
Curfew
To Curtail
Cuddling
Minors who commute from Dallas may
soon face the prospect of cutting dates
short, leaving parties early and avoid-
ing many other common but technically
unnecessary affairs that go on in Dal-
las into the early morning hours.
A curfew was proposed July 28 by
Dallas police after the late-night beat-
ing of a Dallas officer July 24. Three
Dallas youths beat the policeman while
he was trying to arrest them for throw-
ing a soft drink bottle at his squad car.
The officer was knocked down and kick-
ed in the head.
The proposal is still in the planning
stages, with many arguments being ad-
vanced on both sides.
Many of those against the plan said
that lack of parental control is the main
cause of Dallas' juvenile problem and
that if the parents knew where their
children were and exercised proper dis-
cipline, a curfew would not be necessary.
Still others against the curfew said
that with city council backing and in-
creased enforcement of present ordi-
nances, the much-debated law could be
avoided.
Many dissenters have argued that the
curfew might be illegal under present
Texas law. They cite an 1898 decision of
the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in
which a cuifew in Graham was declared
unconstitutional.
The appeals court said the law was an
"•indue invasion of the personal liberties
of the citixen, as the boy or girl have the
same rights of ingress or egress that
citizens of mature years enjoy." How-
ever. since that ruling, many similar but
slightly different statutes have been up-
held in other cities.
Job Followups
Need Checking
Dr A. Witt Blair, director of the
Placement Office, said Tuesday that
students and former students are fail-
ing to keep their files up to date.
"We need to be notified of employ-
ment whether the job came through our
office or not," Dr. Blair said. He urged
students and exes to report all changes
of address, occupation and name.
"We have sent information on new
jobs to many people who haven't an-
swered If they don't get in touch with
us, we presume they have a job."
Mrs LaCola Harlow, secretary, said
women should remember to notify the
office when they get married.
state college students, will wipe out fi-
nancial barriers to higher education.
The official, Ray A. Fowler of Austin,
said that $22 million in federal and state
funds will be made available to students
in Texas schools this year.
Fowler was in Dallas Wednesday to
explain to area business leaders the pro-
visions of the Texas Opportunity Pro-
gram (TOP) and its federal subsidy-
programs. Representatives of the U. S.
Aid Funds Inc.. the U. S. Office of Edu-
cation and the stale conducted the meet-
ing.
Under the provisions of the state plan,
the student applying for a loan must be
a resident of Texas, must be enrolled in
one of the 109 participating colleges or
universities (North Texas is included)
and must be able to prove financial need.
If the student cannot prove a need, he
can apply under the federal Higher Edu-
cation Act of 1965. Under this plan, no
student can be turned away.
Fowler stated that even though Texas
students will spend an average of $2,000
for their education next year, the cost
of higher education in Texas is lower
than any state in the United States ex-
cept for some schools in New York,
California ard Louisiana.
