Dorm Asks
For Change
In Visitation
Two Clark Hall representatives will go
before the President's Cabinet Tuesday
at 9:30 a.m. to ask for a 24-hour dorm
visitation policy.
Cliff McKenzie, Clark Hall spokesman,
said Tuesday Dr. Rollin Sininger, vice-
president for student affairs, gave the dorm
council power to change dorm rules at an
informal rap session Monday night.
However, Dr. Sininger said Tuesday that
changes in visitation policy could not be
made until approved by the President's
Cabinet and Board of Regents. Dr. Sinin-
ger added that he will take the matter be-
fore the Cabinet Tuesday.
McKenzie said the dorm council imme-
diately rescinded the ban on burning in-
cense and changed other minor rules to
allow for more comfortable living condi-
tions. He added that the council could
change quiet hours if a majority of dorm
residents agreed on the change.
Dorm residents are asking for visitation
hours from 6 to 10:30 p.m. on Wednesdays;
from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on Fridays;
noon to 1:30 a.m. on Saturdays and 6 to
11:30 p.m. Sundays.
Provision would also be made in visita-
tion policy for a dorm host on each floor
during visitation hours and for registration
of all guests.
Dr. Sininger said Tuesday he was "dis-
turbed" by the Monday night meeting.
"I don't know how to react," he said.
"I wish the dorm residents would be in-
terested in total university policy instead
of just this one area. I felt they were not as
receptive as they could have been to ideas
beyond dorm policy. I didn't feel I could
communicate with them."

Senate Passes
Draft Extension
Shave, Haircut Two-Bits
How long a persons hair is doesn't make any differ-
ence. Just ask any barber. The way this haircut spe-
cialist looks he would cut anyone's long hair free, much
less charge regular prices.
However, for most students, short hair is a high
school memory: for local barbers it's an intertwining
delimma, not to mention a hairy experience

WASHINGTON (AP) After months
of delay the Senate passed and sent to the
White House Tuesday the bill extending
the military draft until June 30, 1973.
Passage of the bill by a vote of 55 to 30
came with surprising suddenness after the
Senate, by just one vote, had invoked its
antifilibuster rule to limit debate on the
measure.
PRESIDENT NIXON'S signature, ex-
pected promptly, will enable the Selective
Service System to resume draft inductions
halted when the old law expired last June
30.
Another major section of the legisla-
tion calls for a $2,4-billion military pay
increase intended to improve chances for
creating all-volunteer armed forces by
mid-1973.
Under the compromise reached by House
-Senate conferees, the effective date for
the increase was set as Oct. I But the com-
promise not subject to amendment from
the Senate floor was adopted by the con-
ferees and approved by the House well be-
fore Nixon announced his 90-day wage-
price freeze on Aug. 15.
His action leaves in doubt whether the
increase can be granted at the date speci-
fied or will have to be deferred until after
the freeze ends Nov. 14
THE SENATE'S action was a major
victory for the President and a defeat for
antiwar senators who had held out for
something stronger than the measure's call
on Nixon to negotiate an end to the Indo-
china war as quickly as possible.
That provision was agreed to as a com-
promise by Senate-House conferees after
the House refused to accept the Senate
amendment, introduced by Majority Lead-
er Mike Mansfield, D-Mont., that called
for total United States withdrawal from
Indochina in nine months if U.S. prisoners
are freed.
A new effort is expected now to attach
that proposal to the $21-billion military
procurement authorization bill, on which
the Senate resumed debate following pas-
sage of the draft measure.
THE END of the draft debate, which
has occupied more than half of the Senate's
time since early May, came within minutes
after proponents of the draft measure suc-
ceeded by the barest of margins 61 to 30
in mustering the two-thirds vote needed to
limit further debate.
As the defeated leaders of the campaign
to delay the draft. Sens. Mike Gravel, D-
Alaska, and Alan Cranston, D-Calif., hud-
dled on the floor, the Senate moved right
into the vote on the bill itself.
Tuesday's action on the draft bill, while
not expected by Senate leaders until Thurs-
day at the earliest, had been expected since
last Thursday's 47-36 vote on which the
Senate refused to send the draft bill back
to conference.
The measure includes a $2 4 billion mili-
tary pay raise, authorizes President Nixon
to drop undergraduate student deferments
this.fall, extends procedural rights of draft-
ees 'before their local boards and limits in-
ductions to 130,000 this year and 140,000
next year.
NEWS CAPSULES
Administration To Study
New International House
An international house for North Texas
students may become a reality in the near
future, according to Mrs. Barbara Jung-
johan, assistant dean of students.
Mrs. Jungjohan told an International
Club planning session Friday that the ad-
ministration will consider suggestions from
the club which would help international
students at North Texas.
She suggested that the club present a
letter to Dr. Rollin Sininger, vice-president
for student affairs, outlining possible plans
for an international house, as well as revised
admissions procedures for foreign students,
tutoring (primarily in English) and job
placement.
An international house would help draw
together groups of foreign students, provide
a residence for them during holidays when
dorms are normally closed, and supply stu-
dcnt-counselors. Mrs. Jungjohan said that
possible locations for an international house
might be phased-out dorms.
The International Club invites all stu-
dents, foreign and American, to attend the
next meeting at 6:30 p.m. Friday in Room
302 of the Union Building. Lindsay Keffer,
administrative assistant to the vice-presi-
dent for student affairs and foreign student
adviser, is tentatively scheduled to speak to
the group.
Members To Rename
Ecology Club Today
The Ecology Club will meet at 4 p.m.
today in Room 274 of the Speech and
Drama Building. Members will select a
more suitable name for the organization
and discuss possible projects for the coming
year, according to Maury Forman, Hous-
ton senior, founder of the organization.
All interested students are invited.
New Subject Focuses
On Mexican-Americans
The first of three Mexican-American
courses to be offered at North Texas will be
taught next spring. Mexican-American his-
tory and culture will be offered under the
University Courses program
Dr. Hugh Ayer, associate dean of arts
and sciences said the courses arc being
offered as a result of student requests.
The three courses will be listed in future
catalogs as UCRS 214, Mexican-American
History and Culture; UCRS 315, The Mex-
ican* American Community and UCRS
350, Mexican-American Politics.
The first course taught under the Uni-
versity Courses program was Black-Ameri-
can History, offered last year. Another
course which is offered under the same pro-
gram this semester is the Role of Women.
Two Females Add Twist
To KNTU News Format
KNTU-FM, 88.5, will include a new
twist in their fall line-up of newscasters.
Two girls, Celia Reingold, Dallas junior,
and Carolyn Hicks, Irving sophomore, will
be joining the staff.
Miss Reingold, a speech and drama
major, will broadcast news four nights a
week. "She's picking it up very well and
with a bit more experience could make a
great sucess of it," said station news direc-
tor Neil Blankenship.
Miss Hicks, a journalism major, is new
to broadcasting but Blankenship expressed
optimism as to her ability and said she will
gain valuable experience on her news-spot
two nights a week.
Brown Calls Enrollment
'Best Since 1967'
"This is the best increase since I967,"
said John H. Brown, associate registrar,
speaking of the 15,572 enrollment figure
for this fall. The figure represents a 542
increase over last fall's enrollment.
Most of our increase can be attributed to
the economy, explained Brown. "Since
jobs arc so hard to find, most people just
return to school for lack of anything else to
do."
The tuition increase did not have effect
on full-time students, but it did cut down on
part-time students. Brown said, explaining
that with the same tuition for one hour as
for six, a lot of people had rather go full-
time or not at all.
Brown speculated that if it were not for
the tuition hike the increase would be twice
what it is now.
Police Arrest Student
For Throwing Trash
Littering on the street may be hazardous
to people's record as well as their pocket-
book.
A 19-year old North Texas student was
arrested Monday for throwing trash on the
Denton streets, Capt Hugh Lynch Jr of
the Denton Police Department said Tues-
day.
The fine for this misdemeanor ranges
from $25 to $200.
Companies
To Conduct
Interviews
Bv NIKKI BUSBY
Special Writer
Job interviews for graduating seniors
begin Oct. 4 in the Business Building.
The 30-minute interviews will be con-
ducted by companies such as Sears Roe-
buck, Montgomery Ward, Ford, Chrysler,
General Electric, Southwestern Bell, South-
western Life, Atlantic Richfield and Sanger
Harris. The Texas Department of Mental
Health and Mental Retardation, Vista,
the Peace Corps and the military will also
give students job interviews.
STUDENTS INTERESTED in par-
ticipating in the interview program are
urged to contact the Business Employment
Office and fill out the required interview
application forms. Since Aug. 27, 217 stu-
dents have signed up for the interviews.
John M. Brooks, director of the business
employment service, estimated that the
figure has already doubled with an average
of 15 to 20 students per day signing up for
the program.
The Business Employment Office, found-
ed in 1953, notifies students by direct mail
of the companies coming on campus for
interview sessions Brooks said that 30 to
35 per cent of the student job placements
are done on campus. He estimated that
173 major companies held from 8,500 to
9,(XX) interviews on campus last year.
ONE PROBLEM Brooks outlined is
that many students reach their senior year
with no idea of what they want to do and
thus they don't participate in the job inter-
view program. "We have found that 80 per
cult of 'he interviews are attended by 40
per cent of the seniors," Brooks said.
"The market is tight now and the student
is going to have to be better prepared than
he ever was in past years," Brooks said.
Many companies are requiring a 3.0 or
higher grade average, and Brooks estimated
that this requirement screened out around
72 per cent of the applicants. "Grades are
an important factor to most companies,"
Brooks said. Before an interview, each
company receives a copy of the students
transcript and his personal data sheet
BROOKS \l SO urged students to in-
clude pictures on the interview form. "Some
companies require a picture on the form
and some don't but we have found that pic-
tures help the student to be remembered,"
he said.
rIndefinite1 Residency
Students Must Live in Denton
To Register for Local Voting
Despite a recent test case, students wish-
ing to vote in Denton County still must say
they intend to live here "indefinitely" after
they finish school in order to register to
vote.
The test case, which was filed by Steve
Muncy, North Texas junior from Krum,
and Craig Ownby, a student at Cooke
County Junior College, was against action
by the legislature which said all students
registering under the new law would have to
register in the county in which their parents
resided.
In effect, this meant Muncy could not
vote in any election in Texas, as his parents
reside in New Mexico. Muncy said Tuesday
he learned the case will be heard in Sher-
man Oct. I
(ieorge R Lasater, Denton Coun-
ty tax assessor-collector, said that regard-
less of the trial students must still meet
other qualifications the state has laid down
in the Texas Election Code.
"The only thing we are trying to do is
enforce the law," Lasater said. "If a stu-
dent is eligible to register, we will register
him just like anyone else."
In the election code, Lasater said, a stu-
dent's residence is "construed to be where
his home was before he became such stu-
dent unless he has become a bona fide resi-
dent of the place he is living while attending
school."
It later describes a "bona fide resident,"
as it pertains to students, as a student who
"intends to remain there (where the student
is living while attending school) and make
that place his home indefinitely after he
ceases to be a student." Lasater noted the
code does not specify how long a time "in-
definitely" is. He said a student could come
in one day and say he did not intend to live
in Denton after finishing school and be re-
fused registration to vote. The same student
could come back the next day and say he
changed his mind and would be living in
Denton "indefinitely."
In such a case, Lasater said, I would be
required to register the student as a voter."
But before anyone, student or otherwise,
is allowed to register to vote, certain resi-
dency requirements must be met, Lasater
said The person registering must be a resi-
dent of the state for at least one year and a
resident of the county he wishes to vote in
at least six months before he registers.
The trial case was filed by Muncy and
Ownby because "It (the law) is discrimina-
tory against young people," Muncy said
"Really, that is what the basis of the 26th
Amendment is about. It hurts not only the
college student, but also those young people
working and living outside the county in
which their parents reside, he said.
Muncy added that he felt the reason for
the state legislature's action limiting the
registration rights of the 18- to 21-year-
olds was an attempt to keep young people
from voting.
"I think they wanted to prohibit stu-
dents at large universities and those in the
armed service from voting," Muncy said.
