45th YEAR
Shiny civilian ours ami efficient
looking military vehicles parked
at the Denton Nutionul Guard
Armory Tuesday hud something
in common:
They hud brought the men of
Company I), including six North
Texus students, home from HI
months' active duty in the steamy
pine* of Ft. Polk, ha.
Last of the arrivals, in three
jeeps and u truck, wheeled into
the armory motor pool shortly
after I p.m. under a hot Texas
sun. Five civilian cars carrying
some of the men had arrived min-
utes earlier.
No welcoming committee was
on hand, and there were no shouts
of jubilation. But evidence of the
eagerness to shed the Army green
for civilian attire was apparent.
DISCIPLINE FADES
Military discipline of past
months was already beginning to
fade. Men talked of going home
at night and of eating home-cook-
ed meals. One cook said, "I'm not
going to cook another meal."
Walter Vaughn of Denton, who
will enroll as a senior this fall,
said that he "almost went into a
state of shock" when the unit was
called up last fall. "I'll be glad
to get back to school," he said.
Denton citizens officially wel-
comed home the National Guards-
men with a celebration on the
Courthouse square Thursday.
After a brief mustering-out ser-
vice, the men were treated to a
Texas-style barbecue sponsored by
local merchants and civic organi-
zations.
Two NTSU faculty members
also were released this week. Smith
Kiker of the journalism depart-
ment, and Dr. Paden Neeley of
the School of Business Admini-
stration, will be buck oil the job
this fall. Dr. Neeley was company
commander of the Denton unit.
OTIIER8 IN I NIT
Other NTSIJ students in the
unit released from active duty are
James Kiley, Hob Lindsey ami
Hives McBee of Denton, Jimmy
Brown of Sanger and Kobert Hall
>f Mnrlin.
The exact number of North Tex-
aits called up with the 49th Arm-
ored Division last fall is unknown
liecause many had to report lie-
fore registration.
But all units of thy division pul-
led into their home towns this
week and received welcomes simi-
lar to the one given Denton
guardsmen.
Silvey Plans
Foreign Tour,
Then Meeiing
Dr. J. K. G. Silvey, director of
the biology department, will tour
Europe with his wife before par-
ticipating in the International
Conference on Water Pollution
Research Sept. 7 in London.
Dr. and Mrs. Silvey will leave
the United States Sunday, and
will arrive Monday in Zurich,
Switzerland.
From Zurich, the Silvoy.s plan
to travel into Duly and then back
through France to England.
On Sept. 7, Dr. Silvey will pre-
sent a paper entitled "The Role
of Aquatic Actinomycetes in Sclf-
Purification of Fresh Streams" to
4,0(10 international scientists at
the conference.
For the past 27 years. Dr. Silvey
has been involved in research
study of actinomycetes, microscop-
ic aquatic plants classified between
bacteria and mold.
These plants convert solid or-
ganic substances into liquids and
gases which, in turn, determine
tastes and odors in fresh water.

Traveling Class Finds
Widespread NT Fame
North Texas has become well known in the Hast, according
to Nelson F. Leo of the geography faculty, who returned Tuesday
with HO students from a 22-day tour of the eastern states.
"It was most gratifying that throughout the trip we encount-
ered a great number of people who had heard of North Texas,"
Leo commented. He said most of the easterners had heard of NTSU
through its athletic teams or its national champion television de-
baters.
But Springfield, III., residents still remember NTSU for its
A Cappella Choir, which appeared there about two years ago, Leo
added.
Students who made the tour of 21 states and parts of Canada
were enthusiastic about the tour's value. "We had a marvelous
time!" exclaimed Glenda Hanson, Comanche. "We saw so many
things I can't begin to tell about them."
The group was studying the achievements of man during bis
settlement of the eastern part of the United States.
"It was a most successful trip," Leo said. The students will
now return to class and begin discussions on the various regions
that were covered by the trip, he explained.
Next summer the class will tour the western section of the
country.
MIDAFTERNOON HEAT OF 102 DEGREES forces those who remained on campus Wednesday

Wichita Road Trip Planned;
Owners Stymie Flock Here
This fall's football Road Trip
was set for Wichita, Kan., on Nov.
."5 by USNT Senators Sunday in a
special planning meeting. The trip
will still have to be approved by
President J. C. Matthews before
it becomes definite.
The senators also heard a report
that the Flock Here restaurant-
approval program appears doomed
for this year. Denton restaurant
owners failed to return CSNT
questionnaires on the program, re-
ported Jim llightower, chairman of
i he restaurant approval commit
tee.
The University of Wichita game
seemed the only feasible one for
the Koad Trip, explained Gloria
Adams, CSNT secretury. "It's an
afternoon game and is within a
icasonable distance from the
school."
The senators compared bus and
train prices for the trip and de-
rided that round-Hip fare- would
lie approximately $12 a student by
either method of transportation.
Ways of selling freshmen on
the Road Trip were discussed. Kiik
Carinean, acting chairman of the
Summer Board, stressed that the
trip would have to have freshman
support to succeed.
But burdening freshmen with
the cost of both beanies and trip
tickets as soon as school begins
might hurt both programs, the
senators noted. 'I'hey discussed de-
laying ticket sales until about two
weeks after school begins.
The senators derided to Id the
Flock Here plan rent f'>r a while
at least until after next year.
Questionnaires were distributed
last spring to restaurant owners
concerning the plan but "the own-
ers got together and decided not
i.o send them in, hoping the thing
would die," llightower declared.
Miss Adams added that the res
t urant owners failed to see how
the program would benefit them.
The senators agreed that the
success of the plan hinged on
whether the hot check proposal is
included. If not, restaurant owners
won't be much interested, some
said.
llightower said the details for
the check plan are yet to be worked
out.
The senators also mentioned in-
vestigating ways to help North
Texus alumni become more useful
to the university.
The new meeting time for the
Summer Board is ti:,'(0 p.m. Tues-
days in room 132 of the Physics
Mathematics Building.

Total Reaches 759
For August Degrees
A total of 7BU North Texas stu-
dents have applied for graduate
and undergraduate degrees in the
summer commencement exercises.
This figure falls 72 short of
equaling the 1050 record of Hill
August candidates but shows an
increase of III over last summer's
li-lfi applicants.
Invariably the number of grad-
uates is less than the number of
candidates. The largest summer
graduating class was in I'.lfili when
7mi'i of (lie H.'ll candidates received
degrees.
This summer, applications have
been made for 5P.I bachelor's, 2.'l.'!

Age Tends To Increase
Moving, Study Shows
As a person lietomes older and
ids health declines, he begins to
move about more and more until
he finally is accepted by an in
stitution.
These are the findings of Dr,
II. J. Friedsam and Dr. Harry
Dick in a research report to be
presented to the yearly meeting
of the American Sociological As-
sociation in Washington, D.C.,
Aug. 30.
The paper, entitled "Living Ar
langetnentH of Aged Persons Prioi
to Institutionalization," is a study
of the mobility and change* in
residences of the aged.
The study was made at two in-
stitutions for the aged in Dallas.
"It analyzes residential mobility
and changes in living arrange-
ments of the residents of the
homes during the 15-year period
prior to admission," Dr. Friedsam
ex p 1 a i hed W ed newtay.
"The general finding is that
the amount of mobility increases
as you come to the tune of admis-
sion," he continued.
Dr. Friedsam partially attrib-
! uted the findings to the
I decline in health of older people,
"Poor health makes it difficult
to maintain a stable residential
pattern," he said.
The paper, which will be read
by Dr, Dick in Washington, is
only a portion of a study being
made under a grant from the So-
cial Security Administration and
'he Department of Health, Kduea-
tion and Welfare
As soon as the entire project
is completed, the findings will be
reported to the government and
will be presented to other confer
cures in a series of papers.

Dr Rogers discussed the early
days of public relations when many
big business firms used press
agents who relied on stunts and
hoaxes to get their clients' names
in the papers
"While you can still find ex-
amples of this in the entertainment
business," he said, "a more serious
attitude toward gaining public
acceptance is held by men who use
the phrase 'public relations' to
describe their work."
He explained that about 50 years
ago the large business firms re-
flected the attitude of the famous
phrase, "The Public Be Damned."
This phrase was followed by such
industrial giants as Commodore
Vanderhill and John D
in
newspapers A soundly adminis-
tered school system has an organ-
ized program for creating the best
educational practice and a system
for making sure that parents and
other citizens understand this ed-
ucational practice, Dr. Rogers
added.
