45th YEAR
NORTH TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY. DENTON, TEXAS FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1962
NO. 58
Eagle Symbol
Needs Unity,
Board Urges
North Texas shoultl adopt a
standardized eagle for decals and
postern, USNT Vice-President
.lames Killingsworth suggested to
the Summer Hoard Tuesday night.
Right now, hardly any of the
eagles on book covers and car
windows look alike, he said.
Other suggestions by board mem-
Iters included the erection of a
fountain on campus and an inves-
tigation as to when and how new
signs with NTSU's correct title
could lie placed on highways lead-
ing into Denton.
The Road Trip has been tenta-
tively set for the Tulsa, Okla.,
game on Oct. l.'i. Wichita, Kan.,
and Las Cruces, N. M., were con-
sidered, but the committee favored
Tulsa since it is close to Denton
and because it is considered North
Texas' biggest rival.
I.ast year's proposed Road
Trip to Memphis, Tenn., folded
after plans were complete, lie-
cause of lack of participation.
Most of the projects before Sum-
mer Hoard committees are still in
the planning stages, l.iliby Schlit-
tler, head of the commuter ride
project, said letters requesting
maps have been sent to the Dallas
and Port Worth Chambers of Com-
merce.
The maps will lie mounted and
placed in the Union Ruilding so
that, commuters can locate rides.

Owners See Tangible Assets
Restaurants Favor Hot Check Plan
By Dick Beene
Five Denton restaurant opera-
tors reacted favorably Saturday
to the USNT Summer Board's
hot check program.
The operators were briefed on
the proposed USNT project by
a student committee, which pre-
sented the plan as un addition
to the Flock Here program. Work
on the restaurant-approval sys-
tem began earlier this year.
"I THINK it's a good idea,"
said Tommy Thompson, owner of
the Texan. Thompson felt that
the hot check problem would be
much simpler if it were handled
by a student committee. "It
would make things better for
the students and better for us,"
he said.
NT Will Offer
Foods Course
About 90 school lunchroom
workers from over the state will
attend a three-week course in
foods and nutrition to be offered
by the School of Home Economies
beginning July 17.
The new course will be the first
part of a five-year summer pro-
gram, and a certificate will lie a-
warded from North Texas at the
end of the fifth summer.
Mrs. Rachel Mays, coordinator
of the program, expressed hope
that the state will later recognize
the project and require certification
for all school lunch personnel.
The pi^ ,a.m will give workers
who have had no previous aca-
demic training a chance to study
nutrition and foods.
Instructors will include mem-
bers of the home economics fa-
culty.
If the program is approved by
the administration, a committee
of students will be set up to han-
dle bad checks received by local
restaurants.
Tip Hall, co-manager of the
Pot Boone Country Inn, said he
is in favor of the entire Flock
Here project, including the hot
check portion. "The check idea
is the best thing in the Flock
Here program that I've seen
yet," Hall said.
If the Flock Here project is
to include a hot check commit-
tee, Hall said, the program
should be limited to just a few
eating places so that the owners
could benefit from it. If every
restaurant is approved, the Flock
Here plan would have no mean-
ing, he explained.
"THE HOT CHECK PLAN is
a tangible asset to the Flock
Here program that restaurant
owners can see," said J. C. Bureh,
manager of the Ju-Cy Pig.
Before the hot check program
was added, the Flock Here pro-
ject was designed only to rate
restaurants on prices, service,
cooperation and sanitation.
Burch questioned the commit-
tee about rating restaurant pric-
es. USNT Vice-President James
Killingsworth told Burch that
the committee has dropped its
plan to rate prices. "Price-rating
and price-fixing cannot and will
not be done," Killingsworth said.
"A RESTAURANT OWNER
has sent a copy of the Flock
Here program to the National
Restaurant Association," Burch
said. "They will study it and send
us a reply." Burch said he would
probably comply with the asso-
ciation's suggestions.
Ed Lane, owner of Lane's
Freezer Fresh Ice Cream Co.,
had no objections to the hot
check program or to the Flock
Here project as a whole.
However, Lane said that since
his business is mainly busy
fountain service, he would like
to have preset dates for the
committee's health inspections.
"It's just like when you have
guests at home," Lane said. "You
always want to have things
cleaner than usual when com-
pany comes."
"It's good that you're trying
to curb hot cheeks now before
proprietors get to the point
where they won't cash checks
for students," said Harley I'itts,
general manager of the soon-to.
he-opened Commodore Motor Inn.
Each manager the committee
approached Saturday said he
favors a monthly listing in the
Chat of those restaurants which
received the approval of the
Flock Here committee,
"IF THE ADMINISTRATION
approves the program, we will
have a meeting of all the res-
taurant managers of the city so
that we can establish good re-
lationships with those business-
men," Killingsworth said.
Out' of over a million elementary
teachers in the country, many have
had little or no training in pre-
senting introductory material for
the basic sciences.
| Hut in recent years the National
Science Foundation has started
special institutes to alleviate this
problem, Dr. Harold Iddlea of the
foundation's headquarters in Wash-
ington, D. C., told a luncheon au-
dience of interested NTSU facul-
ty members aial research partici-
pants last week.
This summer 21 NSF institutes
11 over the nation are active in train-
ling teachers at the elementary
level just part of the I7J iltsti
tutes under way across the na-
tion.
On the North Texas campus the
foundation is sponsoring research
j programs in the chemistry, physics
and biology departments. These
programs are for secondary school
teachers and science students.
Other branches included ill the
NSF program—but not on this
campus—are mathematics, engi-
neering and, just this summer,
psychology.
"To stress subject matter in all
these tields is the primary object
of the foundation," the speaker
pointed out. "Also, many teachers
want and need refresher courses
and advanced study in the fields
they teach."
How do.<« the U.S. science pro-
gram compare to Russia's?
"Ours is equul in most areas,
and superior in others," Dr. Iddles
said. "Over there, individuals are
picked to do research in given
areas. Here in the U.S., of course,
our scientists ate allowed to
choose their own topics for re-
search."
The NSF was founded soon after
World War II under the direction
of Dr. Allen Warren, then head
of the physics department at Yule,
and ."15 other interested scientists.
This year Congress appropriated
$40 million for NSF research
grants. Hut the speaker pointed
out that the foundation is wholly
independent of governmental con-
trol.
Team Will Trace Decline

In lexii than 80 minutes Tuesday, North Texas' national
I television debate champion* will summarize what historians
have taken thousandH of pages to explain.
Anne Hodges, Dallas, and John Swnney, Sherman, will
quote such authors as Arnold Toynhee ami Oswald Spongier
in debating the affirmative side of "Resolved: That the de-
cline ami fall of Western civilization is at hand." Oxford Uni-
versity will take the negative view.

Rags To Replace Texts
For Finger-Paint Work
Man Lacks Resistance,
Microbioligist Explains
The average human being will
catch two or three colds a year.
The average dog won't even catch
one.
The reason for this is that ani-
mals, other than humans, have de-
veloped a native resistance to the
common cold. That is, their resis-
tance is hereditary.
This type of resistance was one
of two discussed by Dr. Joe Bass,
professor of microbiology at the
Medical Branch of the University
of Texas in Galveston, at the
Science Institute's luncheon June
21.
Since humans don't have Fido's
hereditary-type resistance to colds
and similar ailments, they must
rely on a second type of resistance
known as acquired immunity.
Immunity may be built up after
recovering from a disease.
"We also try to induce immuni-
zation artificially," Dr. Bass ex-
plained, "but there are many dis-
eases which we haven't been able
to stop." Cancer is the most im-
portant disease for which no im-
munity has been found, he said.
Dr. Buss pointed out that there
are three kinds of artificial immu-
nisation.
Certain killed disease-bearing
organisms ean lie injected into the
body. The use of a toxoid—a poi-
sonous internal secretion rendered
nonpoisonous—produces the same
effect.
The Subiane oral and smallpox
vaccines use organisms which are
derived from poisonous ones but
are not poisonous themselves.
"Because the trend now is to
isolate only small fractions of an
animal for analysis," he explained,
"such study has become less a bi-
ological field than a biochemistry
field."
Normal Students Experience
Conflicts Too, Study Shows
Drinking excessively, participat-
ing in delinquent gang activities
and overcoming physical handicaps
are only a few of the past experi-
ences of a group of 30 "highly
normal" college students, a recent
psychology survey showed.
The interviews revealed thut nor-
mal individuals have experienced
many of the same kinds of emo-
tional conflicts found in the his-
tories of severely maladjusted in-
dividuals. But the difference was
in their capacity to overcome these
problems.
The selected group, consisting of
18 upperclassmen und master's de-
gree students and 12 sophomores,
was chosen by their classmates and
faculty members as being "out-
standing in normal personality."
Dr. Merl E. Bonney, director of
the psychology department, re-
ports on the results of the re-
search in "A Descriptive Study of
the Normal Personality" in the
July issue of Journal of Clinical
Psychology.
The purpose of the study was to
arrive at an accurate description
of the term "normal personality,"
he explained.
The group underwent a series
of tests, and personal history data
was collected on each individual.
A conference was held with each
to obtain developmental histories
on topics related to personality
functioning.
Of the 30 students under study,
16 reported some kind of serious ] serious conflicts with a few teach-
family conflict. One of the boys
reported his parents were divorced
while he was in high school, lie
reacted to this by flunking all his
courses and becoming active in
gang fights.
Another who felt rejected by
her mother left home to enter a
nursing school. Seven reported

Still Mother reported, "One
time I came to the cafeteria with
my shirt out of my trousers. One
of the teachers told me this was
strictly against the rules and he
grubbed me and pushed me and told
me to go to the rest room. I re-
fused to go and resisted him, be ,D. .
cause I didn't think he had tfil Id/vA
right to treat me like this.
Through the influence of another
teacher I finally went to the rest
room and put my shirt in."
The interviews showed four suf-
fering from parental rejection,
two with an alcoholic parent, one
with a mother admitted to a men-
tal hospital for a year, two who
were temporarily expelled from
school, three who flunked out of
school for one term, one who drank
excessively for several years, three
whose homes were broken by di-
vorce or desertion, two whose own
marriage was broken by divorce

Thirty To Attend
English Workshop
About 30 professional educators,
including English teachers, super-
visors, curriculum directors and
principals, are expected to attend
a 10-day English workshop in lan-
guage und composition this sum-
mer.
The workshop, which will be
gin July DS, is the sixth to be held
on the North Texus campus. Dr.
E. ti. Ballard of the English fac-
ulty is the coordinator.
The program will include lec-
tures by members of the NTSU
faculty and possibly visiting con-
sultants from other institutions.
The workshop will lie held in the
Education-Home Economics Build-
ing.
Faculty lecturers will Is- Drs.
Mary Kvelyn Whitten, William F.
Belcher and Ballard of the Knglish
faculty; Dr. Dwane Kingery of
the education faculty and Mrs.
Steva Harris of the NTSU Labora-
tory School.
Students who attend the work-
shop will earn two semester hours
of graduute credit. Those who de-
cide to continue their studies be-
yond the 10-day program may earn
three hours of graduate credit.
ted to people who married under 1!'
years of age. Dr. Hamilton pointed
out that love is not blind to faults
but that infatuation is. The more
knowledge one has of a person, the
better one is able to love that per-
son.
Later Dr. H. L. Marquis Jr. of
the education faculty stressed ad-
olescence as a "crucial point in
life" in his discussion of "Prob-
lems of Youth." Six areas of ad-
justment needed in adolescence
were Isolated by Dr. Marquis:
Lcurtting to accept one's physi-
cal Mug for what it is.
Being emotionally mature and
accept ing responsibility.
Developing a philosophy of life.
Crowing toward intellectual ma-
turity
Having a vocational interest.
Adjusting to leisure time.
Tuesday the workshop will begin

pionship program by reading parts
of Toynhee'* 12-volume work, "A
Study of History," und Speugler's
"The Decline of the West."
"A lot of their reading material
has been by people who tend to
criticise our civilisation." said
Debate Coach William R. De-
Mougeot.
Miss Hodges and Swaney dis-
cussed the topic with each other
for the first time Sunday when
they met with Dr. DeMougeot, Dr.
E. tj. Ballard of the English fac-
ulty find Assistant Coach Don
Beck.
"This is the only time they will
meet prior to their leaving on the
plane for New York," Dr. De-
Mougeot said. "Most of their prep-
aration is just individual read-
ing."
He pointed out that one of the
purposes of the NBC program is
to emphasise to the viewing public
the differences between American
and British style* of debate.
In American debates each side
presents its speeches without in

Germans Better Trained
To Teach, Visitor Says
Secondary education teachers in
Germany are better trained for
their work than they are in -the
United States, a woman scientist
from Hamburg, Germany, declared
Thursday.
"Teachers in (iermany must be
speeinli'/.cd in at least two fields,"
Dr. Gertrud Hermes said during a
campus visit. Dr. Hermes, for in-
stance, teaches biology and chem-
istry in u Hamburg high school und
supervises graduate biology stu-
dents.
But she said she is impressed by
the amount of work done by Amer-
ican students during the summer,
for there is no such thing us sum-
mer school in (iermany.
Dr. Hermes will speak today to
the Science Institute at an 11:30
a.m. luncheon in West Dorm. She
addressed members of Phi Delta
Kappa, national education frater
nity, at a Marquis Hall luncheon
Thursday.
The German scientist is making
a nationwide tour sponsored by
the National Science Foundation.
Before arriving at NTSU Wednes-
day night, Dr. Hermes had been
to Columbia, Mo, From here her

Stacks Prove Good Home
As More Tenants Move In
The power of publicity ia the wonder of modern man, agrees
Mrs. Myrtle Foster of the Library staff.
Considerable attention was given the Library last spring when
a mother cat gave birth to four kittens in a heating vent. Librar-
ians weren't able to evict the tenants until the kittens became of
age to walk out of the vent. So the staff merely tolerated the
"guests."
Mrs. Foster thinks that someone ia playing on the kindness of
the Library ugain, is-cause juat before 5 p.m. Saturday two kittens
ami two puppies were found on the third stack level.
Since it was almost dosing time and the owner could not lie
located, Mrs. Foster was forced to take the group home for the
wvskend.
By Monday It was obvious that the animals were homeless, and
Mr*. Foster took action. A friend adopted one of the dogs, and the
cats have become residents at the City Pound until their owner
claims them. The last dog Is still homeless and will probably join
his traveling1 -"ompnnions, Mrs. Foster said.
Today's business student must
have a liberal education, with train-
ing not only in his major field but
also in government, science and
math, Millard Collins of Interna-
tional Business Machines Corp. be-
lieves.
Collins, who will be one of the
keynote speakers at the Business
Fduration Conference to be held
today and Saturday, thinks colleges
must teach their students more in
less time to help them meet the
problems of the business world.
Even the standard office skills
must be stepped up, he said. In
fact, he will speak Saturday on
"A Blueprint for Producing Better
Typists in Less Time."
Collins, who represents IBM,
said his company is teaching basic
courses in typing to 150,000 peo-
ple in 2,500 programs in industrial
und governmental agencies.
The business conference, expect-
ed to attract some 125 teachers
from all parts of the state, was
to hear an opening address by
Dean O. J. Curry of the School of
Business Administration on "A
Blueprint for Business Education
in the Sixties."
Harmon WILon, executive vice-
president of Southwestern Publish-
ing Co., will be the moderator of
a panel on "A Blueprint for a 12th-
Year Course in Business Educa-
tion."
Delta Pi Epsilon, national grad-
nnte business education fraterni-
ty, will sponsor a banquet for del-
egates at 0 tonight in Marquis
Hall. Wilson and Collins will de-
bate the topic "Resolved; That
Typewriting II Should be Dropped
from the Secondary School Curri-
culum. Wilson will have the of-
Urinative.
On Saturday Dr. Ruth Anderson
of the business education faculty
will be in charge of the shorthand
and transcription section and will
speak on "A Blueprint for Prepar-
ing Secretaries for Tomorrow's
Office,"
Collins, who will speak Saturday
morning, said the greatest problem
in the business office today is com-
munication, or the lack of it. He
will give the high school and col-
lege teachers some pointers on how
to prepare their students better in
this area.
Keys Can Never Jam
On New IBM Selectric
Ever witnessed the frustration
of having keys pile up, one after
another, when you are hurriedly
trying to get that term paper typ-
ed?
International Business Machines
Corp. has solved this problem with
the Selectric, a typewriter which
has no type bars to jam or keys
to pile up. It prints from a light-
weight ball which moves across
the paper, eliminating the moving
larriage.
Millard Collins, a former North
Texas faculty member who now
represents IBM. demonstrated the
new machine before the Typewrit-
ing Workshop, which started Tues-
day ami will continue through
July II.
H, Wisner Miller Jr.. vice-presi-
dent of IBM, said, "Wo threw
away everything but the alpha-
bet." The technological break-
through that made the Selectric
possible after 10 years of research
and experimentation is the "single
typing element," a sphere which
is about the sise of a golf ball and
weighs only nine grams. The 44
type bars on the conventional
typewriter were replaced with 88
characters molded on the element.
Thn snap-on-and-off ribbon car-
tridge provides a variety of colors
ami quick, clean changing in mo-
ments.
Collins, who received his B.S.
and M.S. from NTSU, has com-
pleted 90 hours on his doctorate
in business education at Indiana
University, Before joining IBM in
1953, he was chairman of the di-
vision of business education and
secretarial administration here for
six years.
