Winton E. (Pop) Noah announced his
retirement effective July 31 Wednes-
day.
His long career began in Dallas at Adam-
son High School, originally known as Oak
Cliff High School, where he spent 20 years,
and will end at North Texas, where he has
been track coach for the last 25 years.
Noah, who will be 69 in July, said, "I
don't feel old enough to retire, but I guess
I am.
"Actually, I could have gone another
year, but I didn't like the idea of having to
retire (mandatory at 70)," Noah said. "This
way it's my choice to quit coaching and
teaching at the end of this school year."
The veteran coach's long athletic career
began in Midlothian where, as a senior in
high school, he joined the track team. Al-
though the track season was only two weeks
long, Noah won the district mile in 5:38.
He enrolled at North Texas, where he
won four track letters and won the confer-
ence 440 in 51.4. His best quarter time on a
relay was "about 49 Hat."
As a football halfback, Noah lettered for
three years, although he had never seen a
football game before he entered college.
He left college during the school year of
1923-24 to work for the public school in
Lone Star, Johnson County, since teachers
were not required to have degrees at that
time. "It was a two-teacher school, and I
taught all of the high school classes," Noah
said.
Returning to Denton in 1927, he received
his bachelor's degree from North Texas.
In the fall of the same year he became head
track coach and "B" team football coach
at Oak Cliff High School, later renamed
Adamson.
During his 20 years at Adamson, Noah
Calhoun Attacks
dickering' Senate
produced 11 district or city track team
champions. However, his early career was
not always limited to track. In I929, for ex-
ample, he was the head coach of football,
basketball and track.
Noah's coaching career at North Texas
began in 1947, where he quickly produced
a widely-known track power in the college
division of major meets.
Working with a limited number of track
scholarships, Noah began to fill the track
team with athletes from other sports, such
as football stars Ray Rcnfro and Luther
(Bugs) Fainbro.
The Eagles entered major college ranks
in 1956, and Noah met the challenge with
outstanding individuals and relay teams.
During Noah's tenure all but two varsity
records have been set.
His top athletes included David Clark
(pole vault). Boyd Dollar (sprints), Jimmy

Weaver (sprints), John Cotten (440), Doyle
Magee (440), Richard Menchaca (880),
Paul Patterson (880), John Cooper (mile).
Ken Kelly (hurdles). Bob Burch (discus)
and Bill Schmidt (javelin).
Noah, who has served as referee at major
events throughout the Southwest and Mid-
west, was inducted into the Hall of Honor
of the Texas High School Coaches Asso-
ciation in 1962.
Looking back, Noah finds it hard to pin-
point his biggest thrill.
"It's always been a joy and a pleasure
for me to associate with the boys. II I have
done anything for them, they did far more
for me in return."
When asked what he would miss the most,
Noah said "I'll miss all of it."
"I'm going to travel, fish, tend to my two
farms and deal a little in real estate," Noah
said.

II the members of the USNT Senate
could put aside their personal differences
and work together on more rational legis-
lation, the administration might respect
their recomendations more, according to
K.C. Calhoun, USNT vice-president.
Free U. Sets
Schedule
For Spring
People submitting courses in the Free
University met Monday night to organize
the final schedule regarding the times and
meeting places of all courses for the spring
semester.
William Farmer of the sociology faculty
introduced two new proposals that the Free
University is initialing this semester.
The new proposals include a Picnic Day
Weekend the college and general communi-
ties could attend together, and the initia-
tion of 15 new courses to be conducted by
1 WU. Both North Texas and TWU cours-
es will be included in one catalog.
The Rev. Robert Meyers, pastor of the
North Baptist Church, attended the meet-
ing.
"The North Baptist Church is interest-
ed in organizing a few prospective discus-
sion classes for next fall," Rev. Meyers
said. "This meeting gave us a few ideas
about getting organized."
Courses this semester include Stage-
craft; Something Else in Photography;
Co-operative Crafts; Cosmic Communist
Community through Revolt, Revelation,
Rock 'n Roll; Experimental Theater; En-
glish 131F; Beginning Folk Guitar; and
Intermediate and Advanced Jazz and Fla-
menco Guitar.
More courses are Sense Awareness,
Vegetable Gardening, Farming, Yoga,
Folk Dancing, Scuba Diving, Bicycling
and Sailing.
Also included are Comprehensivist vs.
Specialist in the 21st Century and Rela-
tives of Bass Guitar and String Bass and
their Relations to Classical Guitar.
Other courses are being offered but were
not yet organized for Monday night's meet-
ing.
"Without all the bickering and just tri-
vial malarky that fills the senate," he said,
"the administration might and I say
might with a question mark view the sen-
ate as a body that takes interest in the stu-
dents, rather than a body that takes the per-
sonal interests of the senators themselves
into account."
CALHOUN SAID although there is a
possibility the administration would res-
pect tne body more, he said he sincerely
doubts it.
"The administration seems to view things
through one eye," Calhoun said, "that be-
ing the one which serves it and its own fi-
nancial matters and employment interests
best. Our desires and pleas have been ignor-
ed by the administration, contributing to
the problem of campus apathy.
"HOPEFULLY administrators will
stop ignoring what few constructive sug-
gestions the student senate has recommend-
ed," Calhoun said, "before violence, stu-
dent strikes and demonstrations not only
open their ears but give the necessary in-
sight into their blinded souls."
Calhoun said the senate will be respected
when it is "visualized as an organization
that can distribute power and be of service
to the student body."
Later, he clarified the term "distribute
power" as power to pass legislation that
does not have to go through the adminis-
tration.
"THE CURRENT senate has only the
power of recommendation," Calhoun said.
"Such a futile plea as our recommendations
can be made by any student in Vice-Presi-
dent Lindley's office at any time.
"Our bills, legislation and pleas all fall
under the same category as a plea from an
individual student, and they all fall under
the same light," Calhoun said.
All pleas, whether from individuals or
from USNT are ignored, he added.
"After my first senate meeting. I feel like
my finer qualities as an individual are being
wasted," he said. "Primarily, 1 feel I would
be an excellent referee, official at a basket-
ball game or an umpire and have an easier
job.
"Without the asinine assets of our senate,
who knows what constructive ideas nughl
come out'.'" he said.

Faculty Senate Gives
GSC Representation
The Graduate Student Council (GSC)
was granted its request that three repre-
sentatives from the GSC be given full mem-
bership in the Faculty Senate.
The senate voted for the amendment at
their monthly meeting Wednesday.
The representatives are to be selected by
the GSC for a two year term on the Faculty
Senate, which extends from September to
June. The representation is to be rotated
alphabetically by divisions. The members
chosen from the GSC are to be teaching
fellows.
Budget Still Awaits
Final State Approval
Administrators are back from Austin
but with no news of the university's bud-
get request.
Acting President John Carter said it will
not be know n for a couple of months w heth-
er the budget for 1972-73 will be approved
by the Texas Legislature. The current ses-
sion ends in May, and if the appropriations
bill has not been voted on by then, it may
take a special session this summer to do so,
Carter said.
North Texas officials have asked for a
$7 million increase over the current bud-
get.
A large amount of this budget increase
will be channeled into a fund for major
repairs and rehabilitations of buildings
and facilities. The present allotment lor this
fund is $70,000. In 1972, officials plan to
spend 51,775,750. Part of this sum will be
used to renovate the old library building
into classrooms. Carter said.
In 1973, the fund will decrease to only
SSI 2,450.
USNT Extends Deadline
For Senator Petitions
Petitions for senator will be accepted in
the USNT Office until 3 p.m., Friday, K.C
Calhoun, USNT vice-president, said Wed-
nesday. Original deadline for the petitions
was midnight Wednesday.
"Any person showing the desire to he-
come a senator should have the utmost op-
portunity to fulfill that desire," Calhoun
said
Computer Ticks
With Few Kicks
Despite a tight schedule and an increased
load, the Computing Center has encoun-
tered few problems with the newly installed
IBM 360computer.
"Up to this point we've been satisfied
with the conversion effort," Computing
Center Director Richard Harris said. "Our
real problems have been minimal."
j
I he new computer was selected lor its
ability to process greater loads in less time.
Prior to installation of the 360, the univer-
sity maintained two separate computing
systems "The 360 is a general purpose
system configured to satisfy the combined
needs of instruction, research and admin-
istration," Harris said
In addition, Harris anticipates a 33 per
cent reduction in operational costs with
even greater savings in the future.
Computer usage falls into three cate-
gories More than 800 students from the
departments of math, business, chemistry,
physics and education are enrolled in in-
structional programs on computer tech-
nology. The 360 is similar to modern com-
puter systems that students will be work-
ing with in the future. This category ac-
counts for 34 per cent of computer time.
Faculty, graduate and departmental re-
search occupies 14 per cent of computer
time with the various departments using
the 360 lor statistical analysis.
Administrative usage is the greatest at
39 per cent. This includes the Student
Information System (admissions, regis-
tration, grade reporting, academic stand-
ing, enrollment reports, schedule changes
and class rolls) and fiscal office informa-
tion.
Remaining computer time is divided
among the Housing Office, alumni infor-
mation, university inventory. North Texas
Daily mailing list and the University Store,
Harris and his staff are considering plans
to update the Student Information System
"We're concerned with capturing more
information from student application
forms the goal being to cut down on dup-
lication in registration," Harris said.
Brief consideration has been given to a
computerized registration system, similar
to those now in effect at the University of
Texas at Austin and Texas A&M Compu-
ters would conduct the entire registration
process in this case. This plan has several
drawbacks, such as the students inability to
select his professors, which must be de-
bated first, Harris said.
"However, we're determined to do what
we're doing well before we shoot off into
an> greater plans," Harris said. "It will
be this time next year before things have
settled to normal."
Committee
To Resolve
UB Today
Architects and student-faculty commit-
tee members planning the proposed Student
Union Building project will try to decide
today what they want in the structure so
a rough sketch can be drawn.
The committee members will compare
several union buildings of other universi-
ties at the 3:30 p.m. meeting today in the
Administration Building's Board Room
At this time, the committee is expected to
decide which ideas would be best for the
North Texas Union Building
W ithin the last month the committee has
toured five separate university union build-
ings. The University of Houston's and Ok-
lahoma State University's are the two
the committee said it liked best.
Most of the students said they lavored
Houston's because of the "modern design
and planning," even though the union build-
ing at OSU is larger.
Other student union buildings the com-
mittee has toured included those at Texas
A&M, East Texas Slate and Sam Houston

Street-Use Law Ordered
City Awards Permit to Tlower Children'
Jack Hartzel, the flower seller arrested
near the campus Feb. 3, pleaded guilty to
a charge of selling goods on city property
without a permit and paid a $10 line Wed-
nesday.
Hartzel also cleared up a disputed point
concerning his arrest, when he said that he
was not handcuffed when arrested in front
of the Jaek-ln-The-Box on West Hickory
Street.
I he Daily said, "A 23-year-old 'flower
child' was arrested and handcuffed Tues-
day afternoon for selling carnations on the
corner of Avenue Band Hickory Street."
The arresting officer protested that he
did not handcuff Hartzel.
Hartzel appeared Tuesday night at a
meeting of the Denton City Council. The
firm he works for, Scambell-Coot Enter-
prises, Inc., received a permit at that meet-
ing to sell flowers on the streets.
The firm, which calls its employes "flow-
er children," sells carnations on the streets
of cities across the nation.
The council also approved two other
street use permits, one for the sale of ice
cream and the other for snow cones.
Mike Lovett, distributer for Scambell-
Coot of Fort Worth, requested the permit
to allow his employes to sell carnations
on the sidewalks of Denton Don Jones,
manager of Chick Ouick, requested an ex-
clusive permit from the council to sell ice
cream and snow cones. Marvin Beleck re-
quested a permit to sell snow comes.
Both Jones and Beleck intend to use three-
wheeled scooters built for selling frozen
goods to distribute then products.
The council decided they needed a city
ordinance for street use permits and in-
structed the city attorney's office to draw
one up for them The city's main reason
for requesting permits is that it is held liable
for any accidents on city sidewalks. The
council had more requests for permits Tues-
day night than they had in the previous
year.
City Attorney Jack Barton said the new
ordinance could probably be drawn up by
the time of the next city council meeting
in two weeks
Jones had been operating under a per-
mit that he acquired when he bought the
distributor name, Vndy's Ice Cream C ity
officials felt that it would be better it he
applied for a new permit under his name
and until his request was ruled on, Jones
could operate under the old permit His
request for an exclusive permit was ignored
by the council.
Beleck had leased one ol the scooters
from Jones during the tall semester and
made enough money to pay lor his fall tui-
tion He suggested the idea of adding snow
cones to the ice cream and popsiclcs, and
later decided to start out on his own. Be-
leck said that he was getting married in
May and graduating from North Texas in
August He pointed out that his business
would not he a long-term business in Den-
ton
The council granted all three requests
lor permits, with the stipulation that they
would he revoked when the city attorney's
office had drawn up the new ordinance,
and the council had passed it. They could
then make new requests
The council approved a bid on improve-
ments to two cooling towers and several
bids on the sale of scrap and obsolete items.
Some of the items were overstocked items,
others had been stored outside and damaged
beyond use-
It also approved a bid from < raven's
dry goods store lot polite uniforms. I hough
it was not the lowest bid, the council fell
that since all alterations would be done
free in Denton, instead of in Dallas for a
fee. that it was the best bid offered
