Texas Stadium Possible Site

By OWEN CARTER and
LUC1LE HARRINGTON
Chat Reporter*
The North Texas State Eagles and
the Dallas Cowboys may have something
in common by the football season of
1970. They could be playing in the same
stadium.
Missouri Valley Conference Commis-
sioner DeWitt Weaver, in a speech to
the NTSU ex-lettermen's association in
the Dallas Press Club, Monday, proposed
that North Texas be the first college to
play in the Cowboys' new Texas Stadium
in Irving. The 58,000-seat, $16 million,
open domed stadium is scheduled to be
ready for use by November 1970,
"I just talked with Clint Murchison
and he gave me a verbal commitment
that he would like North Texas State in
the new stadium," Weaver said. Murch-
ison is a board member of the Dallas
Cowboys.
THE NEW commissioner proposed
that North Texas move one of its home
games to the new stadium in 1970 and
possibly move all its home games the
next year.
The announcement, came as a surprise
to many people. Previously, SMU was

ed NTSU since January 1969 will need

"Sept. 1, 1969, is the last day that new

admission to North Texas State Univer-
sity for the fall semester of 1969," York
said. "Applications that arc postmarked

warded each day to my office," York

were recommended by the Administrative
Council and were approved by the Board
of Regents
New, former and transfer students
will be required to fill out a new evalu-
ation sheet for initial admission and re-
admission that will enable academic
deans and advisers to prepare degree
plans more quickly. The sheet and an ac-
ceptance notice from the university will
allow a student to make r tentative de
gree plan with his dean before actual
enrollment.
IN THE PAST, a student could not
make a degree plan with his department

university for enrollment.

proval card (which is mailed to the stu-
dent) serve as his permit to register.
Graduate students are requested to

fifth and sixth, $15.
Registration for the fall semester be-
gins Sept. 16.
considered the college team most likely
to move into the stadium. However, SMU
is committed for some time to using the
Cotton Bowl,
In a speech to the Denton Kiwanis
Club Tuesday. Weaver expanded on the
proposal. "I believe that the first game
will be a sellout," he said. "They'll come
out to see the stadium. If we can do this
at North Texas, (have home games in
Texas Stadium) I think you'll tie amazed
at the number of people who will want
to get into the Missouri Valley Confer-
ence. Murchison of the Dallas Cowboys
is drawing up papers with the rates to
send to Jess Ceatiey, athletic director
for NTSU."
DR. CEAKLEY said in an interview
Tuesday, "So far the change is strictly
on a talking basis. I was informed by
Weaver of the proposal only a few hours
before his speech Monday. No official
proposal has yet been made to the uni-
versity by Weaver or Murchison. The
game in consideration of 1970 is the
Memphis-North Texas game, scheduled
that November. The site change also
has to be approved by Memphis. It's pos-
sible the date might have to be moved
up or back a day also.
"If any concrete proposals are made,
several factors would have to be con-
sidered, such as the wishes of the stu-
dents and faculty. Using the Texas Stad-
ium would be more expensive. The uni-
versity would have to be reasonably
sure of a return on its investment. The
administration would also have to take
everything into consideration before they
could make any positive decisions. For
instance, students would still receive
tickets to the games, but a transporta-
tion problem would still exist. All these
things will have to be thought over
carefully before a decision can be made."

NT Librarian Injured
In Auto Accident
Mrs. Vinita Davis, periodicals librar-

an auto accident Saturday near Arches
National Monument in southern Utah.
Mrs. Davis, 65, is listed in fair condi-
tion at Allen Memorial Hospital in Moab.
the Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior High
School beginning Sept. 1.
"I am not leaving the university as
such," Lee told the Chat Monday, "as I
will be closely in touch.
"I feel that 1 will be a great deal more
service to the inter-city boys and girls.
It was a beautiful experience (working
for North Texas) and the reception I
received from the teachers and staff was
tremendous.
"I WILL BE BACK on the campus in
September to talk to the counselors of
the dorms," I.ee said. "This is one of just
a few things I plan on doing."
Gen. William C. Lindley, dean of stu-
dents, said Lee's departure is regretted
but understandable.
"LEE WAS OF GREAT assistance in
ship of Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior
High School. He has greater responsi-
bility and a larger school (larger than
his former one, George Washington Ele-
mentary School in Dallas)," Dean Lind-
ley said.
"It was Lee's desire to come to North
Texas for a temporary period. The choice
of str ing here or returning to Dallas
was his own.
"Let; felt that by working in the sec-
ondary school level he would be of great-
er service to the education and welfare
of the Dallas children," Lindley said.
"LEE WAS OF GREAT assistance in
the summer counseling of students and
was quite successful in aiding in many
ways those students who sought his
guidance.
"Lee was sincerely interested in North
Texas and its progress, and if there was
anything he could do, he said he would
be happy to help. We do intend to call
on him from time to time," Lindley said.
President John J. Kamerick, who is
vacationing in Ohio, issued a statement
through Lindley. "We regret Mr. Lee's
decision to return to the Dallas School
System for we hate to lose him at North
Texas. He has been most helpful during
the summer," he said.
"We understand his decision to return
to Dallas, however, and certainly would
not want to stand in his way in his
continued progress and promotion in tho
Dallas School system."
