NT Freshman Shot;
Trespass Charges Filed
Charges of trespassing were filed Mon-
day against an NTSU freshman from
Longview, after he was shot at the home
of a Denton policeman early Sunday
morning.
The student underwent emergency sur-
gery at Flow Memorial Hospital for
gunshot wounds in both legs, His moth-
er said that an artery was severed in his
right leg and that his left leg was broken
and a nerve damaged. He is listed
in fair condition in the intensive care
unit.
Police sergeant Cecil Aaron said he
and his wife, Mattye, had just returned
from Gainesville Sunday about 2 a.m.
when his wife noticed someone standing
at her bedroom window. Aaron, who had
been in the kitchen, went into the bed-
room and also saw the figure.
Aaron took his police revolver and
went out the front door. He arrested the
19-year old student as he stood by the
window. Aaron took him into the living
room and called police headquarters.
The policeman had gone outside in his
shorts. He gave his wife the gun and
told her to watch the student while he
dressed.
"While I was in the bedroom,1' Aaron
said, "the man jumped my wife and
knocked her over. I heard two shots and
when I came running out from the bed-
room the man was running out the
door."
Aaron chased him outside and across
the lawn. As he approached the student,
Aaron said, the student said, '"'I'm
hit.' "

Ted Mack Seeks
NT Student Acts
"Ted Mack and the Original Amateur
Hour," a CBS program aired on Sundays
at 4:30 p.m. over KRLD-TV, Dallas, is
seeking talented NT students to audition
for a series of shows to be taped in Dal-
las in April.
All types of talent are sought, a
spokesman for the show said. The staff
is interested in singers, dancers, instru-
mentalists including bauds and combos,
acrobats, jugglers, impersonators, ven-
triloquists and other novelty acts.
Interested students should send their
name, age, address, telephone number
and a brief description of their acts to
Ted Mack, KR1.D TV.
Art Department Plans
Professional Seminars
Project Four, the fourth in a series of
student-professional seminars on adver-
tising art, will be presented in the Art
Building Thursday at 1:30 p.m.
"The Project Series is a bold attempt
to stimulate the student ... to create
in him an awareness of conditions as
t.hcy exist in the field of the graphic arts
today," said Dr. Mack Vaughan of the
art faculty. He said further that the
project ultimately intends to develop an
environment in which the student can
make the transition from classroom to
studio with a minimum of difficulty.
This year's theme is "Creativity." A
panel of four professionals will discuss
how to eat creativity and how to sell it
ami what the practical side of it is.
"This theme is a rather mundane,
overworked, overused term in the adver-
tising and art professions," said Bill
Bracken and Bob Knight, co-chairmen of
the project, "but by taking a little artis-
tic license we have broken the term, not
phonetically, but realistically: cr EAT
ivity."
Orville Browning, team leader, is an
NTSU graduate and a partner in Brown-
ing Mohrle Graphics Studio of Dallas.
Other panel members, also from Dallas
firms, are Tom Young, a senior art di-
rector at Keitz \ Hemdon, Jack Unruh
of Portfolio Studios and Mrs Dorothy
Melze, art director for Sanger Harris.
Budget Request Cites
Growth of Grad School
A Profitable Weekend
Steve Segal, Dr. William DeMougeot and Jimmy Palmer hold some of the
trophies the debate squad collected at the ACC meet.
President .1, (' Matthews told the Tex
:ts House and Senate finance committees
recently that a greater percentage of
students doing graduate work is one
justification for his increased biennal
budget request of $31,073,490.
The Legislative Budget Board's rec-
ommendation is $18,872,579.
Dr. Matthews said that the number of
students doing graduate work at North
Texas increased from 0.88 per cent in
1904 to 8.13 last fall, and that next fall
it will be 9.54 per cent—and 25 per cent
in 1978. He said that the increase affects
such items in the budget as the library.
Dr. Matthews listed grounds main-
tenance, physical plant operations and
general services as additional reasons
for the increase.
ANOTHER REASON for the increase
was a change in the method of comput-
ing budgets. John Carter, vice-president
for fiscal affairs, said budget figures are
now based on a projected enrollment for
the coming two years, whereas past
budgets have been based on the enroll-
ment for the year before the request.
Thus the budget for the 1986-67 bien-
nium, the one now governing school ex-
penditures, was based on enrollment in
1906. The new budget, which Dr. Mat-
thews outlined last week, is based on
1907-08 enrollment.
In 1905 North Texas requested $17.8
million and received $10 million.
Dr. James 1.. Rogers, NTSU's vice-
president for administrative affairs, ex
plained the way the school's biennial
budget is worked out in an interview
Monday. "We prepared the biennial bud
get request last summer," In- said. "We
then met in hearings with the I.egisla
live Budget Board, the Governor's Hud
get Office and the state rdinating
board," Dr. Rogers said, lie explained
that each board also had its own budget
for figures for North Texas
Dr. Rogers said that now the Texas
Legislature has four proposed budgets
for the school before it: those of the
three boards and that of North Texas.
The next step is for the House to ap-
prove an appropriations bill and send it
to the Senate. After action there and
possible compromise by a joint commit-
tee, the bill could become law. "All state
agencies have these hearings. This ap-
propriations bill will be for all spending
in the state. Of course the state comp-
troller has to certify that money is
available for the bill to become law," Dr.
Rogers said.
THE BUDGET REQUEST is made ac-
cording to a formula which both the
schools and the budget boards use. "This
formula is based on a variety of things.
For example, money allotted for gradu-
ate work is based on doctoral research
and research hours. The formula gives
equal evaluation to all schools," Dr. Rog.
ers said.
Dr. Kogers said that the time at which
the new budget will be known is indefi-
nite. Any cutbacks in NTSU's plans will
have to wait till the budget is approved.
"The appropriations bill spells out where
the money allotted each school will be
used," Dr Kogers said. The bill does not
allow funds to be moved from one use to
another. "We will have to work with the
money allotted us in each area," Dr.
Rogers said.

Debaters Win ACC Sweepstakes;
Top Men s Team Edged by Baylor
24 Schools From 5 States
North Texas debaters took the Abilene
Christian College Debate Tournament by
storm Friday anJ Saturday, winning
first place in sweepstakes competition
involving 24 colleges from five states.
This year's topic, "Resolved: That The
United States Should Substantially Re-
duce Its Foreign Policy Commitments,"
Dean Harris
Dead at 80
Dr. B. B. Harris, who spent 37 years
on the NTSU faculty, died In Flow
Hospital Monday night. He was 80.
Dr. Harris retired as dean of the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences in 1953 after
a stroke.
Death was apparently caused by a
blood clot. Dr. Harris had surgery in
Dallas Jan. 30,
Dr. Harris joined the faculty in 1910
as an instructor in agriculture and bi-
ology. He became director of the depart-
ment, then dean of the college and next
dean of administration. In 1950 his title
was changed to dean of the College of
Arts anil Sciences.
Funeral rites will be held at 10:30
a.m. today in the First Presbyterian
Church of Denton.
was debated by AI Phenix and Steve Se
gal. They won second place in senior
men's debate.
In individual events, NT speakers won
a first, three seconds and two thirds.
The Phenix-Segal team, with Phenix
substituting for Cathy Strieklin, who
was unable to attend, survived two losses
against Baylor's top team in the prelim
inary rounds. They then defeated Hardin
Simmons and Lubbock Christian Col
lege to reach the final round.
And here, according to Debate Coach
William DeMougeot, "a quirk of fate
placed them once more against the Bay-
lor team, which was given a rather un-
popular decision."
In women's debate, Elaine Yarbrough
and Carla Whitworth went undefeated
in the six preliminary rounds but were
eliminated in the quarterfinals. Jan Mc-
Cathern and Jackie Dean had a 3-3 rec-
ord in the same division.
IN JUNIOR WOMEN'S debate, Su-
san Duqnesnay and Lorraine Teipel won
four and lost two, Jimmy Palmer and
Harry McCoy went 3-3 and Marsha
Whitlow and Carolyn Blythe had a 3-3
record.
Phenix won third in men's extempo-
raneous speaking, Segal reached the
semifinals and Miss Whitworth won
second in the women's division
In manuscript speaking Palmer won
first place in men's and Miss Dean took
second in women's.
McCoy placed third in men's speech
to entertain, Svhile Miss Teipel and Miss
.McCathern reached the finals in their
division.
Miss Whitworth was named second
best speaker in women's debate.
THE SWEEPSTAKES trophy is based
on points acquired in individual events
and on debate wins in the preliminary
rounds.
Dr DeMougeot said this year's ACC
tournament is a reversal of last year's,
lie said, "Last year when Baylor won
the sweepstakes trophy, they were then
mauled by NT in the debate eliminations,
in which North Texas won two out of
three divisions. This year, NT had 105
sweepstakes points to Baylor's 142, with
Texas Tech third at 120."
North Texas debaters now have 10
trophies, including three sweepstakes
awards.
By 1IARDIE DAVIS
The $4 increase per semester in the
student service fees recently approved
by the Board of Regents does not mean
that NTSU is getting ready to build a
new coliseum.
Dr. James L. Rogers, vice-president
for administrative affairs, said Monday
that although the student service fee in-
creases services to students in health,
fine arts, publications and athletics, the
money for facilities in these areas comes
from the building use fee.
"THE STUDENT SERVICE FEE and
the building use fee are two different
fees and the money for each goes for
different purposes," Dr. Rogers said. To
clarify the purpose of the two fees, Dr.
Rogers said that the student service fee
is predominantly used to pay personnel
and employes connected with student
services, while the building use fee
makes money available to house these
services.
For example, an increase of the stu-
dent service fee might mean that more
doctors and nurses could be hired to in-
crease health services. On the other
hand, an increase in the building use fee
would furnish the money for a new cam-
pus hospital if one were needed.
DR. KOGERS SAID the main reason
for the increase from $21 to $25 was
to meet increasing costs.
Rust Adds New Member

Anderson, Swenson Enter Race
For City Council as Independents
North Texans are taking an active
part in running the city of Denton. Peo-
ple from the school have often held city
council seats in the past, and two have
already signed up for this April's elec-
tion.
Dr. Ruth I Anderson, 47, an NTSU
business administration professor, filed
last week as the third candidate in the
Denton City Council election in April.
A. B (Swede) Swenson, 55, manager of
the University Store, filed earlier.
Dr. Anderson said she was running
because she believes women should meet
their public service responsibilities ami
should lie represented in city government.
She is running as an independent.
She was chairman of the department
of business education and secretarial
science at TCU for seven years before
joining NTSU in 1958.
DR. ANDERSON said she is not in-
terested in determining whether either
the Denton Charter Association or the
By the People League is right or wrong.
These groups are differing factions in
the city government.
She is for long range city expansion
planning, wise investment of city tax
money, better city streets and city beau
tification, she said.
She feels that some corrections and
improvements in the city government
are necessary.
Swenson is running because he is con
ecutive committee of the Denton Charter
council may be harmful to the council-
manager form of city government
He feels there is "a tragic failure by
our city government spokesmen to take
the citizen voters into their confidence."
SWEN'SON RESIGNED from the ex
ecutive committe of the Denton Chartei
Association before he entered the race.
He said he had been honored to serve
that organization but felt lie was restrict
ed when it came to following bis 'ion-
science and convictions."
He solicited the support of neither the
DC A nor the By the People League
As last chairman of the Denton City
Commission before the council manarei
form was adopted, Swenson said lus aim
was to bring about the new system
He served on the park board before
the city commission ami has been a mem
be: of the utility board since its estab-
lishment in 1949.
lb has been manager of the University
Store since 1948.
Swcnsen said, "1 have had the feeling
that, to some degree at least, the present
city council is not as responsive to the
will and desires of the people as they
should be.
"I I'll INK ALL of these men are ded-
icated, honest, and of good will and are
just as interested in the welfare of the
city as I or anyone else.
"Some of the things they have done
are contrary to the intent of the people
of Denton."
There are no NTS!' personnel on the
present city council but several have
served in the past.
(' (' Orr Jr., president of North Texas
Savings & Loan Association, is the third
candidate in the race.
The council has five members, of
which one is chosen mayor by the others
Two members are elected every other
year and three elected in alternating
years This year, three places are open
More candidates are expected to file
before the deadline
Texas freshman team as his first duty.
He replaces Ken Bahnsen, who has been
moved to the varsity staff.
The addition of Ness gives Rust four
varsity coaches, holdovers from the staff
of former bead coach Odus Mitchell.
Fred McCain will coach the offensive
backfield; Bob Way, offensive line;
Bahnsen, defensive backfield, and Herb
Ferrill, defensive line.
"Gary will have important inside ad-
ministrative duties in addition to hand-
ling the freshmen," Rust said. "I'm hap-
py to be able to add him to the staff."
Ness was an honorable mention all-
conference fullback at New Mexico as
a sophomore in 1901, but his playing
career was cut short by injuries. Rust
was Ness's defensive coach.
Ness received his bachelor's and mast-
er's degrees from New Mexico. He help-
ed coach the freshman teams there as
a graduate assistant.
In 1905 Ness enrolled at Stanford
University, where Rust was an assistant
coach. Ness served as director of intra
mural sports.
Student Injured
In PE Class Fall
Jim Pesnell, NTSU freshman from
Fort Worth, suffered severe neck in-
juries Friday when he fell from the
suspended rings in a Physical Educa-
tion class.
He was put in traction at Flow Me-
morial Hospital. Later he was trans
ferred to the care of a neurosurgeon at.
All Saints Hospital in Fort Worth.
"Costs have risen to a point where the
last student service fee didn't cover the
present cost for these services. Of course
North Texas' enrollment has rapidly in-
creased and more students mean more
money, but it also means more personnel
are needed to serve these students'
needs," Dr. Rogers said. He added that
the $25 fee is still not as high as it is in
some state schools.
"OUR CURRENT building use fee is
also not as high as the fee in some
schools in Texas," Dr. Rogers said.
"The current fee here is $4. while it is as
high as $10 at other schools." He added
that the only way North Texas can in-
crease its building use fee is by an act
of the Texas Legislature.
The regents have asked for permission
to increase the building use fee. With-
out the increase, a new coliseum will
have to wait.
NT Tolfost
Math Meet
Sixteen speakers will address 24 sec-
tion meetings from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday at the second annual North
Texas Mathematics Conference.
Nationally known mathematicians from
five states will lecture to more than 600
students and school personnel Saturday.
During each period at least one section
will be on a key interest area: primary,
intermediate, junior high and senior high.
Models of geometry and their relation
to unifying concepts in classroom geome-
try will bo discussed by Dr. Don Edmond-
son of the University of Texas. Other
speakers will discuss modern mathematic
techniques in an effort to strengthen
teachers' background in mathematics and
update methods of teaching.
SPEAKERS WILL PRESENT talks
with a fresh orientation toward mathe-
matic content. The primary emphasis
will be placed on subject matter related
to school curriculum.
Films will be shown until 2:30 p.m. in
the Business Administration Lecture Hall
and Room 102 of the Physics-Math Build-
ing. A list of film titles and times will
lie distributed at the registration desk.
Commercial exhibits will be shown and
souvenirs will be given on the third
floor of the Student Union Building.
"Math conferences are held in different
sections where there is enough interest,"
said Dr. Ida Mae Heard, publicity co-
chairman. of the conference. "The pur-
pose of such conferences is to encourage
regional meetings where there are more
people involved." she said.
DR. HEARD S Ml) that the conference
was held here because the staff here is
extremely interested in mathematics or-
ganization. "Teachers and sponsors here
are vitally interested in mathematics
teaching. We will perpetuate this and
make it an annual affair," she said.
The conference has been planned since
November by program chairman D.
Wayne Wilson of Dallas. North Texas
faculty members helping plan the con-
ference are Dr. B. G. Nunley, Dr. M. V.
Garner, Dr J V. Cooke, Floyde R. Vest
and Dr. Heard.
Co-sponsors of the conference are the
Fort Worth Area Council of Teachers of
Mathematics, the Greater Dallas Council
of Teachers of Mathematics, the Nation
al Council of Teachers of Mathematics
and North Texas State.
