Editorial statements of the North Texas Daily and readers' letters reflect the
opinion of the individual writer and not necessarily that of the Daily, its
adviser or the North Texas State University Administration.
Increased Budget
School Finances
Need Big Boost
W. Somerset Maugham, a British novelist, said money is like a sixth
sense—and you can't make use of the other five without it.
North Texas administrators will take Maugham's viewpoint to Austin
when the Texas Legislature begins its next session early next year.
At this time the budget for the 1971 -72 school year will be presented to the
governor and legislature.
Although many people feel the demonstrations and rallies of the past two
semesters have hurt North Texas chances for receiving its budget request,
Acting President John L. Carter feels differently.
"Recently I was called to Austin by the governor's budget officer to
discuss North Texas finances. This was the first time since I have been at
North Texas that a North Texas administrator has been called to Austin for
this purpose," Carter said. From this discussion Carter feels that the chances
for North Texas were not hindered by past campus disturbances and
demonstrations, a credit to those students who participated in the peaceful
demonstrations.
He feels that if anything has aroused the temper of Preston Smith's "irate
citizens" it was the editorial by Dick West of the Dallas Morning News on
the English department's book "Phase Blue."
But the main problem will not be with the editorial or demonstrations. It
will be the amount of money the legislature will have to work with. The
legislature is expecting to get only 60 per cent of what it got last year from
the taxpayers, and North Texas plans on asking for $7 million more than the
$17 million they got last year. Thus North Texas cannot expect to reach its
budget expectations. Where is the needed money coming from?
One underdeveloped source since the opening of the university is North
Texas alumni. Former Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark hit the nail on the head
when he said one of the saddest failures in America is the alumni that turn
away from their college.
"As long as they were winning football games it was okay, but once there
is a little unrest down there and people let their hair get long, no more money
from the rich," Clark said.
Another comparison can be made in the George Blanda case, Blanda, the
43-year-old quarterback-placekicker for the Oakland Raiders, was booed
out of Houston in 1966 after a 3-11 season. Now after pulling out four
last-minute wins for Oakland there has been a drastic change of feeling.
"You can't find anybody in Houston who booed George," former coach
Wally Lemm said. "Suddenly George has become very popular and become
an idol of Houston."
One step being taken is the formation of an alumni office and full time
alumni director. This is well and good, but serves no purpose if North Texas
alumni don't help support the continued growth of the university with their
time and money.

Pant-Suit Craze Overtakes Campus
Girl Watchers See Less Leg Nowadays
By KAREN HOLMES
Staff Writer
"There is nothing like a little leg."
Charlie Wheelus, San Antonio graduate
student, perhaps summed up the male's
opinion of the current pant-suit cra/e that
has affected the coeds on campus. Pant
suits are in, and the guys are going to have
to settle with seeing a little less leg.
Minis Live On
Remember when miniskirts were the
fashion rage? And when the fashion
rule was the more leg the better? But
time brings changes and the fashion
trend is moving quickly in favor of the
pants suit. Carla Gilreath, Mesquite
senior, however, proves that some girls
still enjoy the mini skirt.
Girls today are wearing pants every-
where. They wear them to theaters, parties,
school, work, in fact just about everywhere
except church. No longer do girls wear
dresses as much as before. Pants have taken
over everywhere.
Women of all ages and career brackets
have caught on to the fashion scene.
Mothers, grandmothers, secretaries, teach-
ers, saleswomen and nurses are up with the
times.
"I have always liked pants," Mrs. Grace
Carrigan, nurse at the campus Hospital,
said. "Wearing pants to work feels so
natural. I can feel free and relaxed while I
work."
What do the male students think about
the girls wearing pants to class and to work?
Actually many boys really like them. Per-
haps they understand that the girls enjoy
being comfortable, so they wear pants
instead of short skirts.
As long as the pants are attractive, the
boys do not usually object to the girls
wearing them.
"They are fine as long as they fit and
aren't baggy," Randy Shelton, Midlothian
junior, said. "I like them so much more
than the real short skirt."
"I like them as long as they fit," Tom
Dalton, Houston senior, said. "Girls look
very attractive if the pants fit them right."
What has caused this pant-suit craze?
Perhaps some girls like pants because they
can keep warmer in the winter by wearing
them. Some girls buy the pants because they
refuse to buy the midi, and they don't really
enjoy wearing the mini.
Pants are a comfortable relief for many
women. They can feel relaxed and at ease
while they enjoy doing what they like to do
or while they work. "Pants are so fantastic,
especially on the job because you can feel
so comfortable," Terric Dennis, Garland
senior, said, "I hope they grow in popu-
larity."
Another reason for the popularity of the
pants is that women are often embarrassed
when they bend over or kneel down to pick
up something while wearing the short skirts.
The recent trend for shorter skirts has raised
many eyebrows of the onlookers. Now with
the pants suits, the problem has subsided.
This trend of the shorter skirt is not just a
sudden thing. In the latter part of the 19th
century, dresses were floor length. By World
War 1 the skirt had risen to mid-calf. This
changed in the '30s to about three inches
below the knee. The '60s permitted the
public eye to see the knee and more. Since
then skirts have been inching up a little
higher each year. It is now common to see
skirts as high as seven inches above the
knee.
"I have no objection to the pant suits
whatsoever," Dr. John Smith of the English
faculty said. "I think they are very attrac-
tive, especially in the winter." Dr. Smith
said he would like to see the short skirts
remain on campus along with the pants
because he feels there is no real substitute
for the short skirts. A few years ago, when
pants were banned in the classroom, girls
Pants Take Trend
Rhonda Reynolds. D llas junior, left, and Sharon Carnahan, Bedford junior,
support the present pants-suit craze. The girls are dressed alike, however,
because this outfit is one of the Zeta Tau Alpha uniforms. The sorority, along
with others at the College Inn, took fashion to heart this year and adopted
the pants-suit trend. Perhaps the pants-suit popularity will be long lived.

would have been sent home from school if
they had worn such short skirts. Now most
teachers don't mind seeing female students
wearing pants.
"They are worn everywhere," Miss Nellie
Garza, Spanish teaching assistant, said.
"Pants are fine with me. I like them on the
girls who can wear them."
The fashion-minded women are wearing
pants everywhere. Pants are in style, and
women like keeping with the fashions.
"Pants are very stylish," Tamarra
Cameron, San Antonio senior, said.
"Where you used to see dresses, you now
see pants."
"Pants are very practical as well as being
stylish," Linda Gray, Pilot Point senior,
said. Pants are also practical in that they
cut down on the monthly hosiery bills. This
is a relief for females because no girl likes
to spend her entire check on hosiery.
Pant suits are in on the fashion scene
now. They are everywhere in every style and
color. For the male who likes to see a little
leg every now and then, there is not much
relief in sight. Pants have taken over.

HOUSTON The last heart transplant
was performed in Houston 10 months ago
and top specialists disagree on the radical
surgery.
Dr. Michael DeBakey said his experience
with 12 human heart transplant patients
has led him to conclude that transplants are
not an acceptable method of "curative
surgery."
Dr. Denton Cooley, also of Houston, and
Dr. Norman Shumway of Stanford Univer-
sity Medical Center differ.

Student Solves Job Problem
I'm planning to graduate from North
Texas next month if I pass Spanish. Last
Month I was patting myself on the back for
all the hard work I've done to get through
this university. It's taken me since 1964
But then I started searching the want ads
for that dream job that all college graduates
deserve. Somewhere between 1964 and 1970.
they've all disappeared. The job market
seems a little tighter these days, but I ve
figured out how to
solve the employment
and the money ques-
tion.
When I graduate
next month, I'm going
to automobile me-
chanics school. That
way I'll be assured of
a high paying job. I
considered the iron
working trade, but
that's seasonal The freight dock business
pays a little less, about $170 a week, and I
know all my friends there would love to see
me come back to my old fork lift job. When
I left the business two years ago with
seniority on 30 men. a few fellow workers
said I'd be back. And I can't bear the
thought of hearing the union steward smirk-
ingly say, "I told you so."
The automobile mechanic trade is really
booming these days. Qualified mechanics
can nearly write their own pay check. A
good mechanic gets 55 per cent of the labor
charges on a job (somewhere around eight
bucks an hour) plus a base salary. This adds
up to at least $200 a week.
Now there's a real difference between an
ace mechanic and the garden or shade tree
variety. The ace uses sophisticated electron-
ic equipment to correctly diagnose engine
troubles He wears clean, white monkey
suits and never opens his tool box before
spreading out his freshly laundered fender
mats It won't really be a job like a mechan-
ic it will be more like an automobile
specialist or car doctor, if you please.
I can even specialize in certain fields of
auto anatomy like carburetors or front ends.
But it's better than being a doctor because
I'll get a cut on the price of the remedies I
buy from the parts houses.
An automobile mechanic's job otters
personal rewards too. A clean running
engine saves the customer money on gaso-
line and cuts down on pollution. Hooking
up an engine to a piece of electronic equip-
ment and seeing that everything is o k. will
be like telling a heart patient he's fully
recovered and ready to leave the hospital I
guess it's a sense of helping people or just
knowing that you're doing good.
Some of my friends have pointed out that
my B.A. degree was a waste of time, but I
don't agree first of all, my years at North
Texas have taught me how to deal with a
cross section of the community, all of which
own automobiles. My Spanish will help me
communicate with many of the Mexican-
Americans in Texas who have bad spark
plug-, or distributor failure. I'll feel at home
with my family doctor while I replace the
delicate fuel lines running to the diaphram
of his Caddy's carburetor because of my
knowledge of homonoid dentention since
Australopithicus Africanus.
Secondly, my B.A. has taught me not to
be a dreamer. Lducation and knowledge
have their own rewards for each person.
But it s not necessarily a high paying job.
Thought won't fill the pocketbook without
action, but an automobile mechanic can
think better on a full stomach.
"There is a place for transplants," Dr.
Cooley said. "It is just a question of whether
the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
T here is all the justification in tht world for
replacement of a heart. Those who don't
accept this do not understand. It is their
ignorance or lack of understanding of the
problem."
SHUMWAY SAID that despite a les-
sening of publicity there is "no moratorium
on heart transplants."
Since Dec. 3, 1967, there have been 162
heart transplants performed in the world,
33 of these in Houston.
Shumway has performed 27, the most
recent on Oct. 15. He has performed opera-
tions on nine of the 23 transplant patients
still alive. One of his patients has observed
the second anniversary of his operation.
Of DeBakey's 12 patients, two have
survived two years.
None of Cooley's 21 transplant patients
survive and none lived as long as two years.
"Overall, 2 or 3 per cent of heart trans-
plant patients live for a significant time,"
DeBakey said. "The two survivers in our
series are naturally underreacters to the
usual rejection problem."
DEBAKEY SAID transplant problems
are not solved by engineering.
"We face the rejection problem and the
overwhelming obstacle of getting a good
donor heart," he said.
The transplantation of an artificial heart
into a patient 19 months ago set off a contro-
versy in Houston.
Cooley inserted the artificial device into
Haskel Karp, 47, of Skokie, III., in April
1969 because a donor heart was not avail-
able. Karp lived 65 hours with the mechani-
cal heart before a donor was found but died
36 hours after a human heart was trans-
planted
The use of the artificial heart by Cooley
resulted in Cooley leaving Baylor College of
Medicine, headed by DeBakey. Cooley now
is associated with the Texas Heart Institute.
DEBAKEY CONTENDED the machine
was developed under his auspices and used
by Cooley without his permission
Cooley contends the device was developed
under the auspices ol the Heart Institute.
In a speech recently, DeBakey Hashed a
picture of the artificial heart on a screen.
"This is, of course, the experimental
pump," he said. "Some of you may recall
this was publicized on television as having
been put in a patient. But of course it was
the same pump that was developed in our
experimental laboratory. It was simply
taken from our laboratory without our
knowledge and dune the way it was."
A spokesman for DeBakey said the sur-
geon had made the same statement several
times while discussing the history and
development of the artificial heart.
"HE HAS NEVER mentioned any
names and does not intend to," the spokes-
man said "Any inferences that may be
drawn will have to be drawn by someone
else."
DeBakey said he believes cures for some
forms of heart disease will come long before
the mechanical heart will be a feasible
alternative.
"No matter how good the artificial heart
is, it cannot succeed until it can keep people
alive for a long period of time," he said.
"And it can't do that until it solves the
problem of destruction of blood when blood
passes through any foreign material."
DeBakey said another problem with the
artificial heart is the power supply.
"Right now, power for all heart assist
machines comes from a plug in the wall,"
he said. "We want to have our patients walk
around freely and live normal lives."
Cooley said the use of the artificial heart
in Karp "has encouraged us to continue
research in this same vein."
