Bnck in 1908 only the Mu-
rines were doing it, and that
was because president Teddy
Roosevelt told them to. Today,
everyone is doing it and they're
doing it because they want to.
Walking is the newest fad.
It is also the most healthful
—up to a point, several Denton
doctors said Monday. They
praised the revival of interest
in walking as an excellent exer-
cise, but criticized the 50-mile
hike cntze sweeping the coun-
try.
"IT'S Jl'ST a passing fad,"
said Dr. Dickson K. Boyd.
"There's nothing beneficial about
a 50-mile hike for its own sake
and no doctor would seriously
recommend it for the average
person, The idea was originally
for conditioned Marino officers."

Officers To Renew
Grad Class Award
The Graduate Class Officers'
Award to an outstanding gradu-
ate student will be reestablished
this year, Andy Ward, graduate
class president, said Monday.
The award, established by the
1900-61 graduate class officers as
a part of the Honors Day Assem-
bly, was first given in 1901.
Last year the award was not
given, but graduate class officers
are trying to establish permanent
standards for presenting the
award.
The award will be based on the
student's school leadership, activi-
ty in his field and his service to
the university.

Colleges May House
State Documents
The possibility of colleges being
made official depositories for state
documents was discussed last week
in Austin as Library Director Da-
vid Webb of North Texas met with
the state librarian and his staff.
A bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives to make
colleges responsible for maintain-
ing a collection of state documents
such as papers from the state li-
brary and state department of
health. "We are not sure yet if
this would be a good thing," Webb
said.
State documents are now per-
missible, but under the new regula-
tion they would be required to be
mnde available to students and
faculty members.
Further discussion of the docu-
ments proposal is planned in Dal-
las Friday.

Walking Fad Loses Footing:
Few Finish With Great Vigah
Dr. Robert J. Lee echoed this
sentiment and stressed that any-
one determined to try such a hike
should be in proper shape. He ad-
vised starting out on one to two
mile hikes, then five miles and
gradually working up to the de-
sired condition.
"Even if they are out of
shape, college students would not
be bothered as much by hiking as
people in their HOs and older
would be, because they don't
have to worry as much about
heart trouble," Dr. Lee added.
A Fort Worth physician also
advised that walkers be equipped
with a sturdy pair of shoes.
THREE NORTH TEXAS stu-
dents, Edwin Kuehn of Wichita
Falls, Gary Schill of Brady and
George W. Jones of Pilot Point,
set out about 1 a.m. Saturday
to hike to Pilot Point, then cir-
cle back to Denton for the allot-
ted 50 miles. Schill was the only
one to complete the full round.
He arrived back in Denton about
-1 p.m. Saturday.
Kuehn dropped out after 44
miles and Jones after 27 miles.
The walking fad could, how-
ever, take a more relaxing turn.
Miss Lalia Lewis of the women's
physical education faculty points
out that it could start a whole
chain of events:
"WALKING CLUBS could be
organized, as well as other clubs
centered around walking, such as
bird watching or nature study.
Instead of a Coke date, why not
a walking dnte?"
One group of North Texans
are not too enthusiastic about
the whole idea, thouRh. Ask any
Air Force ROTC cadet after he
has drilled for an hour a day,

Supper Theater has lieen criti-
cized. Peninger snid, because many
times the actors can't be seen
well when they sit down. For this
reason platforms will be added for
most of the action.
The student theater group, which
has had about two weeks to pre-
pare for the production, will use
what Peninger calls "pools of
light."
In this process, one of the plat-
forms will be lighted at a time;
the remainder of the set will be

dark. Whan the scene changes, all
the light will come up and then
down again as another pool of light
is concentrated on a different part
of the set.
Rita Heauchamp of Jefferson
plays the young woman whom the
soldier meets.
Peninger said that in the middle
of the play, even though the ilia- j
login- is completely realistic, the
soldier and the girl fall into a
dream sequence in which they per-
form a modernistic dance.
The light changes to blue, and
the music moves from regular bar
room music to a "dreamy orches-
tration," which expresses the emo-
tional relationship between the lioy
and girl.
"It's really not just a modern
dance because it keeps the true
ballroom form," Peninger ex-
plained. "But it borders on the
modern dance style because it ex-
presses human emotions."

Debate Set
On Works
Of Author
Two English professors and
a graduate English student
may disagree when they re-
view John Steinbeck's com-
plete works at 1 p.m. Thurs-
day in the Business Adminis-
tration Lecture Hall.
"We may not agree with each
other as to whether or not Stein-
beck's characters are loafers or
saints," says Dr. Howard Key of
the English fiirultv. Key will join
graduate student Barbara McDan-
iel and Dr. James Davidson, also
of the English faculty, in taking a
long, hard look at Steinbeck's con-
tribution to literature.
STEINBECK OR FROST
"We are going to try to decide
whether or not Robert Frost
should have received the Nobel
Prize instead of Steinbeck," Dr
Key added. "There could be a split
vote on that."
Some dissension also is likely
over which of Steinbeck's works
are the greater his earlier work
or bis later writing.
Dr Key will discuss several of
the earlier works, including "The
Grapes of Wrath" and 'Of Mice
and Men." Dr. Davidson will re-
view later efforts, including "East
of Eden" and "The Winter of Our
Discontent."
"We may try to decide whether
or not Steinbeck's work has de
predated," Dr. Key said. "I will
bring out the point that Steinbeck
has managed pretty well to keep
the critics off balance by what
might be termed a flip-flop of-
fense. He brings out something
different nearly every time, thus
keeping the critics off balance "
WENT TO STANFORD
Di Key went to Stanford t'ni
versity, which Steinbeck attended,
but he recalls the English faculty
there had very little to say about
the author, They might have been
affected by an article written by
Steinbeck while a student in which
he lampooned the faculty, he .ib
served.
The English professor noted that
Steinbeck was before he made
any money from bis writing

Unemployment will fall and
the economy will be strength-
ened by the Kennedy-proposed
tax cut, but the results will fall
short of the administration's
high expectations, four North
Texas government and econom-
ics professors agreed Monday.
Dr. Kendall P. Cochran and
Dr. R. B. Melton of the econom-
ics and sociology department
said during interviews that the
proposed plan would have some
good effect on the economy but
not as much as the President
nnd his advisers are expecting.
Dr. Cochran said he believes
that it is "a partial but neces-
sary step toward correcting cer-
tain weaknesses in the nation's
economy."
I)R. H. W. KAMP JR. of the
government faculty commented
that the Kennedy program
would help "provided it's a big
enough tax cut."
Questioned about the ta* re-
duction's effect on unemploy-
ment, Bullock Ryder of the eco-
nomics department noted that
"if industry can produce at it
higher rate and if it will stimu-
late consumption," unemploy-
ment will be relieved.
Dr. Cochran said that it "will
take more spending to help un-
employment" and that the re-
duction as outlined is "not
enough to reduce unemployment
to accepted levels and to stimu-
late economic growth."
If a tax-cut plan is put in with
some of the other Kennedy pro-
posals, Dr. Melton said, the sit-
uation might be helped. He was
referring to the proposals for a
youth corps similar to the Civil-
ian Conservation Corps of the
1930s and for a domestic Peace
Corps.
THESE PLANS would take
many youths out of the labor
market and leave any other new
jobs open for college graduates
and other adults.
Dr. Kamp observed that the
amount of money the federal
government spends while the
taxes are being cut will greatlv
stimulate economic growth. If
budget spending is cut, less
money will be going into busi-
ness, and the two items will tend
to nullify one another, he added
He stated that the national
economy is "certainly not oper-
ating at full capacity" and that
if the government is trying to
increase the growth, one way is
through tax deduction and spend-
ing, so that more money can be
freed for the consumer and in-
vestment.
Prof Confined
To Hospital
Dr. Stanley K. Hamilton of the
speech and drama department is
undergoing treatment at Flow Me-
morial Hospital, Dr. R. V. Holland,
director of the department, re-
ported.
Dr. Hamilton suffered a heart
attack last July, but recent tests
show that he has not had another
attack. Dr. Holland said. Dr. Ham-
ilton if expected to be released
from the hospital this week.
DR. COCHRAN said, "On the
whole, it is an excellent propo-
sal and reductions in the Whole
tax structure are long overdue.
And coupled with this are cer-
tain essential reforms that need
to be instituted,"
The four professors agreed
that more federal spending is
necessary and that, as a result,
a larger deficit is mandatory.
Dr. Melton called the deficit u
"useful instrument," but added
that one created by the proposed
plan would not be Inrge enough
to significantly pull the econ-
omy out of its present situation.
"It is not enough growth for
what we need and want," he said.
The teachers believe that
while some businesses would be
stimulated, others would be
harmed and that it is the over-
all influence that will determine
the effectiveness of the plan.
AN EXAMPLE of this is the
construction of homes and apart-
ments. When the public realises
that the interest on its home
mortgages ia no longer deduct-
ible (under the proposed plan).
it may tend to live in rent facil-
ities rather than purchase a
home.
Each man stressed that what
Congress passes and what Ken-
nedy proposes will differ and
that what Congress does will
determine the over-all effect.
Dr. Kamp pointed out that the
chairman of the Ways and
Means and Appropriations Com-
mittees have a tremendous ef-
fect on what the respective com-
mittees propose and pass. He
added that the two chairmen are
conservative while President
Kennedy is liberal.
KENNEDY'S PLAN would
lower all tax bracket rates and
at the same time increase tax-
able income by eliminating some
of the deductions now employed
by the taxpayer.
Hyder commented that "if
there is a tax rate adjustment,
we have to close some avoid -
ancea." One reason that the gov-
ernment has these avoidances
is the high rates, he clarified.
The average taxpayer would j Wayne
Thomas Ford's "Not Full Twelve
Years"; and Thomas Campian's
"The Cypress Curtains of the
Night" and "Fair, If You Expect
Admiring."
"Songs of the Elizabethan Per
iod written by modern composers
are performed frequently, but ori-
ginal works of the Elizabethan
composers are rurely done," Wayne
explained.
Also on the recital program are
four songs by Hugo Wolf. Wayne
will sing "Auf einer Wanderung,"
"Der Tambour," "Nimmersatte
I.iebe" and "Der Rattenfanger."
The last song, translated "The
Rat Catcher," is being used by the
graduate student in his master's
thesis, a comparative analysis of
compositions by Wolf and Schubert
based on the poetry of Goethe.
Wayne, who has sung in operas
throughout the United States, wil!
perform two operatic monologues.
"Nemico delta patria?" from Gior-
dano's opera, "Andrea Chenier."
and "E songno? o realta" from
Verdi's opera, "Falstaff."
Between the two monologues,
Wayne will sing "Jardin d'Amotir,"
by Emile Vuiltermos; "Requiem du
Coeur," by Emile Pessard; "Ni-
eolette." by Maurice Ravel; and
"Fleur Jetee," by Gabriel Faure.
Completing the recital program
will be "The Hand-Organ Man."
by Jacuues Wolfe; "Billy in the
Darbies," by David Diamond; "Two
Sea Chanties" arranged by Celius
Dougherty; and "The Boatmen's
Dance." arranged by Aaron Cop-
