PAGE 2—THE CAMPUS CHAT
Ask Control of Schools
Friday. April 28, 1967
Wallaces Reinforce
Integration Views
When a three-judjre U. S. court
exacted the inevitable price—an
order, the first of its kind ever is-
sued, decreeing that every school
system in the State of Alabama be-
gin desegregating it* faculty and
student body by September — (iov.
Lurleen Wallace and George start-
ed action against the decree.
(Iov. Wallace (Lurleen) answer-
ed the decree by pointing out that
she wanted the people of Alabama,
the people of this country and the
people who would attack the chil-
dren of Alabama to know that the
elected officials of that state dared
to oppose the decree, and that "this
(decree) was something that Hit-
ler did in Germany."
Before the s|>ee<'hmaking was
over. Gov. Wallace had asked the
Alaltama Legislature to turn the
situation over to her, to give her
control of the schools in Alabama:
something Hitler would ask. 'Phis
would, as she (minted out, dare the
United States to arrest her for
contempt of court if she blocks in-
tegration.
Her last suggestion to the state
legislature was to hire more state
police to "protect" Alabama's chil-
dren, presumably from integra-
tion.
Gov. Wallace appears to be only
a front for her husband, the form-
er governor, George Wallace. In
1963 George Wallace himself set
off a chain of events concerning
school desegregation in Alabama
when he dispatched state troo|>ers
to block integration attempts in
Macon County. George Wallace also
set the precedent of giving state
tuition aid for children who go to
segregated private schrmls. This
move made positive his campaign
against the use of school integra-
tion guidelines, set down by the
U. S. Office of Education, in de-
termining which states receive
federal aid for education.
The question now is: What will
the Wallace family do next to re-
sist the U. S. court decree? If the
[wist is any indication of the state's
future action and of the progress
of the state, then Gov. Wallace is
moving methodically toward plac-
ing Alabama in the 50th slot among
the states.
Lurleen, at this point, seems
more determined to fight the re-
cent decree than George was to
oppose integration in 1963. If the
trend continues in Alabama, it
might lead to the worst federal-
state crisis in history That is
something Hitler did. He accom-
plished the ultimate destruction of
any real democratic government
in his nation. —Gene Jackson
Guevara in South America
Castro Aide Reappears
After Hiding 2 Years
When a .5,000 word revolution-
ary message from Argentina-
born Che Guevara was read to the
Communist-led Organization of
Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa,
Asia and Latin America last week,
a shadow from the Sierra Maestra
hovered over South America.
("he, Fidel's soul-brother in revo-
lution, has not been seen publicly
since March 1966. Past speculation
hinted that he was either dead or
in North Vietnam. The govern-
ments of South America would
rather he be the former.
But, if you were a Latin Ameri-
can guerrilla leader who once pre-
dicted that the Andes would be-
come the Sierra Maestra — the
guerrilla base — of America, where
would you be?
"Bolivia," wrote the 'El Mercuiro
newspaper in Santiago recently in
a lead article.
A look at a map should have
given the careful observer the same
answer: Bolivia is ideal for revolu-
tionary activities. Bolivia's terrain
offers perfect protection; 70 per
cent of the population is Indian;
a similiar percentage is illiterate;
the entire country's economy is
based on one income—the sale of
tin—and the average income is
barely $100 a year per person.
Not to mention that from Bo-
livia guerrillas may infiltrate
across the borders of five differ-
ent countries.
Castro has said that his old com-
rade was in another country on a
mission, and last month he called
on all Latin revolutionaries to keep
fighting. In July, Castro will hold
a conference under the theme:
"The Duty Of A Revolutionary Is
To Make Revolution." Conditions
may be coming to a boil in Latin
America.
Che, in his message to the con-
vention, wrote that "new uprisings
shall take place .... They shall con-
tinue to grow in the midst of all
the hardships inherent to this dan-
gerous profession of being modern
revolutionaries."
In March, President Rene Bar-
rientos of Bolivia informed his
country that a guerrilla force, es-
timated at 400 and representng
a truly international brigade—Cu-
bans, Peruvians, Venezuelans, Ar-
gentineans, Chinese and Europeans
—was oj)erating in the southeast
section of the country.
Che Guevara, said Barrientos, is
connected with the iruerrillas and
is expected to visit them again
soon.
If this is true, it heralds the
most important communist activi-
ty in Latin America since Castro
fled to the Sierra Maestra in Cuba.
What will develop is uncertain,
but Che Guevara has the experi-
ence and the tools to create his life-
long dream—a "permanent revolu-
tionary focus" in South America.
If Guevara succeeds in his
dream, we may find that the com-
munist dragon, already peering
through the window of Asia, has
his tail through our backdoor in
Latin America.

Paper Bag Holds Lesson for Today
Education Prof Uses Toy as Teaching Aid
Hello in there, say* Dr. Harold
Perry . . .
By JUNE GRAY
To know John-William is to love him.
When John-William ia introduced to
many education and paychology claaaea,
he ia seated on the desk, encloaed in a
very large brown paper bar.
Many of the students become curious
about the bar's contents. They aak the
profeaaor, "What's in the bag, sir?" His
reply is simply, "A lesson in love."
In Dr. Harold Perry'a claaaea, John-
William is always introduced this way.
"I have to introduce John-William this
way in order to make the students curi-
ous enough to get to know him, love
him and learn the significance of the
lesson I teach through him," Mid Dr.
Perry of the education faculty.
John-William is then taken from the
hag and seated on the desk. The students

Girls Get Lashed-
Experience No Pain
Cosmetologists say that a woman's
greatest asst't is her eyes Women are,
indeed, inking them seriously.
During the past year, and especially
during recent months, women have at-
tempted to enhance their "greatest as-
set" with false eyelashes.
Manufacturers are enjoying a steady
increase in sales of the lashes and they
have made the beauty product available
in a wide price range. Reginning at 96
cents at discount department stores, eye-
lash prices range to $15 for the luxur-
ious jobs.
Most false eyelashes are made of hu-
man hair, but some are made of fur
for night wear. Some are accented with
small rhinestones or black jet stones on
platinum lid strips.
Another type of false eyelash gaining
popularity is the demi-lash. It ia actual-
ly only half of a lash, worn in the center
of the lash line. These are available in
black, brown and in tiger stripe, a com-
bination of black and brown.
No longer are false eyelashes worn
only by professional models. According
to Denton cosmetic saleawomen, college
girls are the biggest customers of falae
eyelashes. High school girls are second.
Once the lashes are purchased, the
biggest problem is getting them on —
straight. This difficulty is the reason
older women are hesitant to buy the
lashes. A saleswoman also mentioned
that older women want a pair but "they
don't know if they can work them."
Most eye "flutterers" come equipped
with a type of surgical adhesive to hold
them in place. After several wearings,
the glue builds up and the laahes have
to be washed. They are dried while
wrapped around a pencil and wrapped
in a tissue.
Indeed, as far as make-up is concerned
this year, the eyes have it.
stare at the figure before making com-
menta about him.
AT FIRST GLANCE. John-William
resembles a reincarnation of Humpty
Dumpty. To thoae who have never met
him, he ia simply a weird-looking stuffed
toy. But to those who love and befriend
him, he seems almost real.
"What does the bag repreaent?" the
education professor aaks the students.
Most of them agree that the bag rep-
resents the environment into which John-
William was born. It ia the cramped, de-
prived condition John-William lives in,
Dr. Perry saya.
Without warning, Dr. Perry hita John-
William, flinging him acroaa the room.
Surprised, the students aak why he
slapped John-William. Dr. Perry an-
swers, "I hit him becauae he was hum-
ming and it bothers me. You couldn't
hear it because you are too far away."
DR. PERRY then picks John-William
up from the floor, hugs him and kisses
him and tells John that he is a good
boy.
The class is happy now that Dr. Per-
hy is being kind to John. "But what about
John-WilliamT How does he feel?" the
educator asks.
"How can you make John-William feel
good about t.imaelf?
"There are four necessities in life:
food, clothing, shelter and love," Dr.
Perry explains.
The only way to discipline children is
fairly, friendly and firmly. A child with-
out courage and hope cannot learn, ac-
cording to Dr. Perry.
"The unloved, angry and fearful child
cannot grow. And even aa an adult, he
cannot grow," said Dr. Perry.
Being kind to John-William is teach-
ing him the ability to learn. Dr. Perry
teaches that the response to praise and
reward ia alwaya poaitive.
THE PRIMARY JOB of a teacher ia
to educate. Teaching a child to love and
feel wanted ia to educate him. If school
haa no meaning for the child, the teacher
muat put meaning into both the achool
and the child.
John-William tremblea with joy when
he ia patted on the head. He ia happy
because he feels loved and wanted.
"To John-William, or to any child,
love is essential to his full development,"
Dr. Perry said.

Library Supplies Any Book Requested
By Using International Loan Service
By PATSY WELCH
The North TexaB State Library has
some of the world's longest bookshelves
—they stretch all the way to England.
North Texas' memberahip in the In-
terlibrary Loan Service means that NT
graduate students and faculty can bor-
row books from libraries aa far away
as Canada and England on rare occa-
sions.
To use the service, students fill out
a request for the materials, ani.' the
library sends an official JT .^request
form to the library mos'Jftkely to have
the book or periodical. The student must
verify the author, place and date of pub-
lication of the book he requesta.
The library does not request recently-
published information or books that coat
as little as $5 because the service is
designed to get materials not generally
available.
THE SERVICE INCLUDES college,
university and public libraries. It has
,io official sponsor or organization, but
the Library of Congress is the leader
in the service.
There is no catalog of libraries partici-

IrHU nCiwfo
From Ronnie Blaaingame, 1806 W. Mul-
berry :
Now that our election has been held
and before the new officers have time
to organize their program, I would like
to make some suggestions that might
improve campus conditions for the stu-
dent body. Since the Chat is fthe only
medium for exchange of student opinion,
I have sent the letter to you.
Because there is so much I want to
say, and because I'm dealing with hu-
man attitude as well as physical im-
provement, I've resorted to n listing of
brief statements.
During the campaign, several changes
at the UB were listed in the candidates'
platforms. One change was to take over
the University Store and replace it with
a bowling alley and pool tables. How-
ever, the big problem on thia eampua ia
lack of meeting placea (not recreation
facilitiea). Why not reorganize the rec-
reation room on the third floor into well-
lighted, sound-proof, air-conditioned cu-
bicles that would be utiliied by groups
of one to eight for study, discussion,
bridge and other activities?
If the University Store doesn't see
clear to give students better rates (es-
pecially on books), it could be replaced
by a small, hut tasteful, ballroom. We
need one badly.
There seem to be three factiona on
this campus that just refuae to live to-
gether in peace — the atudent body, the
student government, and the adminis-
tration. Each viewa the others aa an
apathetic grouping of incompetenta. Thia
is the basis on which the student body
ignores (and anything but tries to help)
USNT, and has little real respect for
the administration.
The atudent government cowers in a
comer on controversial iaaues and when
re-election eomea, aays that they are
qualified becauae of experience. Have
you ever aaked them to list their accom-
pliahmenta? The liat has been small and
rather petty in tne past.
The administration has the perfect
solution—ignore the suggestions. They
put the people behind the new ideas on
a committee. A committee kills progress
faster than (what should I say?) a
speeding bullet.
I suggest walking softly and carrying
a large bag of work tools. Nobody could
argue with an efficient calendar of events
publicized in a more professional, sophis-
ticated manner. If a project fails, a new
one should immediately be in the work-
ings. Enthusiasm is very contagious.
When a member of the senate is called
on the carpet, it should be done in a
dignified manner so that no embarrass-
ment ensues.
There are two factions within the gen-
eral student population, clubs and non-
affiliated students. The ciube should not
have a special representative group in
the USNT. The independent should real-
ise that private organizations are, after
all, private. The criticiam by the inde-
pendenta and the Chat of club policy is
out of place.
1 am not a politician. I am an inter-
ested atudent on this campus. Most of
my thoughts are not new. If I don't see
the picture clearly in any area, I invite
correction or explanation.

Top Prof Choices
From Barbara Ann Ware, Box 7927:
In an article in the April 21 issue of
the Campua Chat dealing with the selec-
tion of the top professors, the article
said, "The professors were chosen in
voting by each member of the five gen-
eral honor organisations on campus, and
by members of departmental and pro-
fessional honor groups at North Texas."
This is a gross exaggeration. I belong to
several "professional honor groups" and
did not receive a ballot for any one.
This is especially irritating, since no
professor from my major (home econom-
ics) was chosen. How could one have
been chosen? We were never aent the bal-
lots! There are many outstanding pro-
fessors in our school and they should
be eligible to receive this honor. If the
only organization which could represent
them (Phi Upsilon Omicron) is made
ineligible to vote, these women are not
allowed equal chance to receive this
honor. Maybe the fault is that Blue Key
which organizes balloting ia made up
of men only, thereby forgetting that
there is a School of Home Economics
at this university.
For a long time the School of Home
Economics at North Texas has been for-
saken. We were run out of our Home
Management House to live in two old
houses under cramped conditions. There
seems to be no plans for a new house
any time soon.
Maybe next year when Blue Key mem-
bers walk up to the second floor of the
UB to buy their girls a mum for home-
coming, they will see the sign that tells
that Phi Upsilon Omicron is selling the
mums. Then maybe they will remember
that Phi U ia the professional organiza-
tion that repreaenta the girls who are
taking "cooking and sewing."

pating in the program. Mrs. Vinita
Davis, who works with the program at
North Texas, says, "You develop a
sixth sense about where to send a re-
quest." Requests for books dealing with
a particular subject are sent to a college
or university known to be strong in
that subject.
Rare books are requested from large
libraries. Books have been received from
Canada and England in some cases.
North Texas is also a member of the
Interuniversity Council, which expe-
dites interlibrary loans of area colleges
and universities. Members of the pro-
gram (TWU, SMU, TCU, Southwestern
Medical School and Arlington) are con-
nected by a Teletype system that offers
desired information immediately.
COST FOR THE LOAN services var-
ies with each library. At North Texas
the borrower pays the postage one way
and the university pays return postage.
Some libraries have a minimum charge
for photo copies of periodicals.
A request for an article in a periodi-
cal ia generally filled with a photo copy.
Students also pay the coat of making
the copies. Periodicals are not aent
through the mail.
Micro-film can even be borrowed in
the loan service. Since 1949, University
Micro-film in Michigan has been mak-
ing micro-film copies of doctoral dis-
sertations, which can be purchased for
research.
The loan service is restricted to gradu-
ate students and faculty members be-
cause the library could not handle the
volume of requests if undergraduates
participated in the program.
Two professors who have used the
program find it satisfactory and invalu-
able.
Dr. E. Ray Griffin of the government
faculty said he is pleased with the sys-
tem. "I have had satisfactory results
whenever I have used the loan system
and I've received the borrowed articles
in a reasonable period of time."
Dr. Fred Gantt, also of the govern-
ment faculty, commented that the sys-
tem haa proved invaluable to him. "I
think it's a fine idea and it haa been very
auccesaful."

UT Celebration
Honors 'Eeyore
AUSTIN—A celebration of Eeyore'a
birthday ia scheduled today by a group
of students and profeaaors at the Uni-
veraity of Texaa at Austin. The annual
party ia in honor of the donkey in Win-
