Delays To Alter
Opening of New
Library Facilities
Because of delays of various kinds, the
first phase of the multimillion-dollar-library
facility will not be completed until late fall.
According to Dr. David Webb, director
of libraries, the building will not be ready
for use by Sept. I as was scheduled.
"Our main problem is a delay in getting
furniture," Dr. Webb explained. "The
building structure itself is fairly complete,
and the carpets are presently being laid, but
there is enough vagueness concerning the
arrival of the furniture that keeps the acutal
opening date uncertain."
Transportation of books stacks, with the
assistance of commercial movers experi-
enced in moving libraries, is expected to
begin in July.
The amount of book space to be utilized
has been determined in considerable detail.
Where each group of books will go, on what
floor, on what shelf on what floor every-
thing has been plotted out.
"Actual measurements of the length of
the shelf space occupied by collections of
books have been calculated as many as
three different times," Dr. Webb continued,
"but with further delay and additional
growth, measurements will probably be
taken again."
"We must also estimate how much the
stacks will grow in a certain period of
time," he said, "and allow space for expan-
sion." The present growth rate of the
library is about 55,000 volumes a year.
This $4.5 million first phase of the library
will accommodate more than 800,000
volumes and have a seating capacity of
2,000 (945 more seats than the present
library) including seating in seminar rooms,
typing booths, listening booths, and micro-
film booths.
Tenative plans concerning the present
library building are for the science library to
remain on the first floor and for the library
service library to be housed on the second
floor.
"The building was designed to be added
to as we grow," Dr. Webb said. "Construc-
tion of the second section of the library is
scheduled to begin in 1972, increasing the
size of the first building by more than one-
half. The third phase of construction will
start in 1978. Further expansion, however,
would make the library unmanageable."
Biology Department Gets Grant
For Final Stage Of Water Project
Cool Check ...
Luckily, the cooling system in the new Library is not one of the problems
that will cause a delay in the opening. The Library is now scheduled to open
in late fall. (See story above.) —Photo by Dan Watson
The Federal Water Quality Administra-
tion has approved $48,549 to fund the
final year of a five-year training grant in
water pollution control to the biology
department.
With this addition, the total funding for
the five years comes to approximately
$264,000, according to the program
director, Dr. J. K. G. Silvey, chairman of
the biology department.
"Each year the monetary amount
increases over the previous year," said Dr.
Silvcy. The $48,549 marked a $13,000
increase over last year's amount. This
money provides the student salary, tuition,
fee, supplies and travel for the trainees of
the program.
Dr. Silvey emphasized it is a graduate
traineeship grant with the primary objec-
tive to train individuals as aquatic micro-
biologists in the "interdisciplinary
sciences." The interdisciplinary sciences
include chemistry, physics, and biology.
The training proposal stated that by
fusing the sciences, the trainee learns to
handle many problems in pollution, water
purification, water reuse, and the biological
processes associated with these situations.
The uniqueness of the program is this
diversification in the trainee's background
which enables him to study all aspects of a
pollution problem, the proposal said. This
type of program opposes the unilateral
approach in which one receives a special-
ized training in only one area of pollution
control.
"We are satisfied with the interdiscipli-
nary approach of our program and gradu-
ates of this type of program have always
received employment," said Dr. Silvey.
The first year, four trainees participated
in the program. There are now nine partici-
pating with six in the master's program and
three in the doctoral program.
"Only 10 institutions received biological
training grants. Usually the grants are for
engineering," said Dr. Silvey, who is one of
three biologists serving as consultants to the
grant program of the Federal Water
Quality Administration.
"In fact, NTSU was one of the first
universities to receive a training grant in
pollution for the grant itself is only eight
years old," he continued However, the
emphasis on pollution increases the com-
petition for such grants.
"1 know what's happening because I have
visited 17 universities in the past year with
other consultants of the program on sight
visits," he said.
To receive a grant, the university must
pass the consultants' "sight visit" the first
and fourth years of the grant. The consul-
tants determine if a university has the
faculty, materials, the facilities to qualify
them for such a grant.
"Fm happy NTSU wa? a forerunner in
pushing environmental studies,' said Dr.
Silvey.

Undergraduate To Attend
Afro-American Institute
A North Texas undergraduate has
received a fellowship to the Institute for
Afro-American Culture for College and
University faculty members.
Theodore Lee, an interior design major,
will graduate this August and become a
graduate assistant in the fall here. But
thru the efforts of Mrs. Claudia Betti and
Dr. R. William McCarter of the art faculty,
Lee will be able to attend this institute held
at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa.
The theme for the institute is "The
Harlem Renaissance" and is under the
sponsorship of the National Endowment for
the Humanities and the Graduate College
of the University of Iowa.
Dr. Chipman Appointed
To Special Professorship
Dr. Donald Chipman of the history
faculty has been named visiting professor
of Latin American history at the University
of San Francisco for the summer.
He will teach courses on Colonial Mexico
and Latin America.
A visiting professor at the University of
Washington in the summer of 1962, Dr.
Chipman is authro of "Nuno De Guzman
and the Province of Panuco in New Spain
1518-1533," a definitive biography of the
16th century Spaniard who played a leading
role in the development of New Spain.
Dr. Chipman joined the history faculty in
1964 after teaching at Fort Hays, Kan ,
State College, where he received both the
bachelor of arts and master of science
degrees. He was awarded a doctorate
degree in 1962 by the University of New
Mexico.
City Council Expands
NTSU Traffic Control
The Denton City Council Tuesday
approved recommendations from the city
planning and zoning board for NTSU to
assume traffic enforcement in the area
surrounding the university.
That area, as defined by the zoning board,
will be bounded on the north by West Oak
Street, on the east by Bernard Avenue, on
the west by Bonnie Brae and on the south by
Eagle Drive.
The university will assume responsibility
for traffic enforcement within the sector
with authority to assign student parking.
The shift is responsibility will not take
place until the city legal department drafts
the required definative ordinances.
In other action the council tabled for
further' study a Pi Kappa Phi fraternity
petition for a permit to operate a fraternity
house at 610 West Oak.
New Dorm Director
Slates New Activities
Kerr Hall's new director for the fall,
Lowell Barnes, has plans for many new
activities for the dorm.
Barnes's has made tentative plans to have
weekly dances, open houses possibly as
ofter as once a week jam sessions every
Sunday with members from the lab bands
and other groups, special guest speakers
and installation of a music system in the
lounge and cafeteria.
The programs, Barnes said, are to help
fill the students' spare time and add to
dorm life. "I want to made Kerr a more
livable dorm," he said. "A coeducational
dorm provides a unique situation. Emphasis
on social and cultural programs is of grow-
ing importance, Barnes said, and he feels
an increased need for an active social
director.
Barnes is also on a committee arranging
an orientation for the resident assistants
for the fall. This year's orientation, to be
held in August, will include new subjects.
The program will consider social problems
such as drugs and racism, said Barnes. The
orientation is intended to better prepare
RAs for their position and the problems
they will handle.

County Judge Tom Todd signed off-
premise beer permits for Lincoln Park
Monday afternoon following a heated pub-
lic hearing.
The two beer permits, one for the pro-
posed B & B Liquor Store at 1 (X) Lincoln
Parkway, and the other for the B & B Beer
Store at 200 Lincoln Parkway, will now go
to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commis-
sion (ABC) at Austin for final approval.
Separate off-premise permits for wine
and liquor go directly to the ABC and are
not under the jurisdiction of the county
judge.
"If the permits are approved." said Parks
W. Bell, one of the two Lincoln Park own-
ers, "we will be open by July the fourth."
Bell added that a "nice" on-premisc beer
establishment will be open by Later Day.
About 25 persons attended the two-hour
hearing Monday and local citizens made
several sharp comments that questioned the
integrity of Judge Todd, and of Lincoln
Park owners, John B. Foster and Bell
Bell and Foster, both self-employed
lawyers, continually answered questions
from spectators concerning the legal status
of the residents of Lincoln Park who voted
in the June 2 referendum Once, Bell told
one person, "You realize that 1 don't have
to answer these questions, that I am just
trying to be polite to you."
Judge Todd seemed to feel his position
was being abused and, at one point after a
Chemistry Dept.
Asks For Help
The chemistry department recently
received a piece of research equipment that
will be vital to the department, but there is
just one problem workmen are unable to
get part of it into the building.
The magnet, which weighs three tons,
belongs to a Jealco PS-100 nuclear
magnetic resonance (nmr) spectrometer
which cost over $75,000. The spectrometer
is used to determine how different elements
are effected by other elements and their
chemical environment.
John Matt Howard, resident engineer,
said, "I don't know how we are going to
get the magnet into the basement right now.
We'll get it into the building but I don't
know how,"
Suggestions anyone?
spectator wanted to know how long he had
known Bell and Foster, Judge Todd replied,
"Some judges could find you in contempt of
court." Todd also said, "I do not have any
monetary interests in Lincoln Park."
Judge Todd was asked his personal opin-
ion on the sale of liquor in Lincoln Park
and replied, "Whichever way I go, I'm
liable to lose a lot of votes." Finally, he
said, "As a former prosecutor, I would do
away with local-option elections."
Judge Todd contended that he was neu-
tral as a judge in the matter of Lincoln Park
and added that the hearing was to deter-
mine the qualifications of the applicants,
and not to debate the wet-dry issue.
After a lengthy discussion with Judge
Todd. The Rev. Wayne Davis, pastor of the
First Baptist Church at Little Elm, com-
mented, "As far as I'm concerned, this is
the moral death of Denton County."
Lincoln Park, a mobile home oasis, is a
newly incorporated city that voted 24 to 4
to go wet in a June 2 referendum. The city
has a population of about 250 that consists
mainly of young married couples in their
twenties or early thirties and is located 4 4
miles east of Denton on Highway 24.
