Reorganization of the Physical Plant
Complex has produced four new supervis-
ory positions to be filled this semester,
Delbert Overstreet, director of the complex,
said Tuesday.
Two other offices will be administered
by new men.
OVERSTREET SAID the purpose of
the organizational restructuring “is to
break the organization into four major
areas.”
John Truitt will come from the Mail
Service Nov. I and take on the respon-
sibilities of the director of fire, health and
sanitation, Overstreet said. Truitt has a
B.A. in history from the University of the
Philippines.
The new service and grounds supervisor
is Lewis Eberspacher of San Antonio, who
has a B S in landscape architecture from
Texas A&M and 20 hours ol graduate work
at Cornell University. Overstreet said that
Eberspacher has a license for chemical and
herbicide application, which is now fre-
quently required by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
ODEN PARIS will become the execu-
tive housekeeper, after serving in the same
capacity for Southwestern Medical School
in Dallas. Citing the $600,000 housekeep-
ing budget, Overstreet said that a main-
tenance specialist was now necessary at
North Texas.
Ed Hill is to be moved up from the car-
pentry department to the role of general
foreman.
f ormer director of fire, health and sani-
tation for three years, Bob Wallis is the
new assistant director of the complex
OVERSTREET SAID that the mainte-
nance and construction supervisor position
is temporarily being handled by Wallis
and Hill. "In four to six months, we'il start
looking at the candidates for this position,"
he said.
The previous organizational chart show-
ed a line of authority going from the direc-
tor of the Physical Plant Complex to the as-
sistant director of the complex to the direc-
tor of fire, health and sanitation to the
garage, crafts and grounds divisions.
In the revised structure, the maintenance
and construction supervisor, the service
and grounds supervisor and the executive
housekeeper share authority at the same
level with the director of fire, health and
sanitation. The general foreman is under
the maintenance and construction super-
visor and is over the crafts departments.
The responsibilities of the Phy-
sical Plant Complex had grown to such
an extent that a division of responsibility
was necessary to maintain efficiency. Over-
street said.
Overstreet said that the idea ol
the reorganization is to develop a team
effort. “We're in the process of adding
to our communications system." he -aid.
“We want to be able to contact our people
almost immediately, no matter where
they’re at.”
Overstreet hopes to employ the radio
pager, a one-way verbal message receiver
that can be worn on the belt or carried in
the pocket.
The decision to reorganize war reached
in mid-September, Overstreet said.
“We have budget changes to make for
the Board of Regents," Overstreet stated,
“but I expect an early approval " lie said
the reorganization will not increase the
Physical Plant Complex budget “We will
not fill some positions available in other
areas in order to have money for the new
positions." he said.

The assemblymen also heard a report
from the Internal Affairs Committee pre-
sented by Quincy Ollison, vice-president

junior standing and have at least a 2.0 grade
point average," he said.
Under old business, the assembly voted
to refer a resolution written by Ray Rome,
Houston sophomore, to the Internal Af-
fairs Committee for further research. The
resolution stated, "Any grade received
which a student feels is unsatisfactory shall
be removed from his permanent transcript,
upon the student’s request, when he com-
pletes the same course and receives a higher
grade. This shall apply only for North Tex-
as State University.” Only the number of
hours attempted and the number of hours
passed would be placed on the record.

sent Service Fee Committee: Cheryl Ap-
pling, Robert Boss, Lon Darley, Robin

HASKOVEC, A Denton real estate
agent, said his committee feels the petition
attempt has a good chance for success, but
that the race for more than 5,166 signa-
tures before the deadline will be close.
The committee members are worried
about several points concerning the pe-
tition attempt, he said. One point worry-
ing them is that “a great many students
are under the erroneous impression that
they signed the petition during fall regis-
tration. 1 understand that someone was in-
side the Coliseum with some kind of pe-
tition. but it wasn’t a Vote Wet Committee
petition," he said. Haskovec wants stu-
dents to sign his petition this week il there
someone spread a rumor to Denton
businessmen interested in the success ol
the campaign that he had been “bought
off."
When the businessmen approached him
to ask if the rumor was true, Haskovec
said that he replied “Hell, no. I don’t want
to spend the next 20 years in jail for ob-
structing an election process.” The Vote
Wet chairman terms this year’s petitions as
“absolutely unbuyable.”
The committee will have a booth set up
in the Temporary Union Building (TUB)
throughout the week for persons who wish
to sign. Petitions will also be available at
the Vote Wet Headquarters at 116 Fry St.
Russian Repast Frames Culture
Meal Features Songs, Borscht
By STEVE SHRIVER
Daily Reporter
A Russian banquet set for today will
feature such diverse attractions as Pres-
ident C.C. Nolen, Russian borscht, the
Cyrillic alphabet and Russian songs and
conversation, Dr. Mariana Oonk of the
foreign language faculty said Tuesday.
“It’s really an impromptu meal,” Dr.
Oonk said. She explained that her Russian
class will have the meal because Denton
has no Russian restaurants or Russian
people for the class to visit,
THE BANQUET will be at 11 a.m. in
Room 210 of the Language Building,
where the first-year Russian class will be
learning authentic culture rather than gram-
mar, Dr. Oonk said
Those invited include President C.C.
Nolen, the first-and second-year Russian
classes and Dr. Philip Smyth, chairman of
the foreign language department, according
to Dr. Oonk
Class members will prepare typical Rus-
sian meals from recipes Dr. Oonk distribu-
ted. The menu will include items such as
borscht, mushroom and cheese pie, cu-
cumber and yogurt salad and eggplant
caviar, she said.
RI NSIW SONUS and conversations
will demonstrate the students’ facility of
the language. Each student has a Russian
name and a personal Russian phrase or ex-
pression he will write on the board to show
how simple Russian is. Dr. Oonk said
The idea behind the banquet is to empha
size the positive aspects of the revamped
Russian program. Dr Oonk explained.
She added that the new program should do
pel notions that Russian is too hard or use-
less.
The 14-member first-year cla- will later
read a Russian novella They are planning
to become involved in a newspaper written
in English covering many aspects of the
Russian language and culture. Dr. Oonk
said.
Dr, Oonk said the students want to prove
at the meal that they have a “substantial
oral ability in fluent conversational Rus-
sian.”
Students somehow have misconceptions
about taking Russian because of inadequate
counseling or confusion over the Cyrillic-
alphabet, Dr. Oonk said.
Parker To Discuss Student Views on Constitution
State Rep Walt Parker of Denton will discuss constitutional revision with
students in the Student Activities Union (SAU) Forum Series today at 9 a.m.
in the Great Hall of the United Ministries Center.
“I’m interested in helping to keep the student informed and I’d like to see
what he thinks,” Rep. Parker said Tuesday.
A Constitutional Revision Commission has just completed work on a draft
constitution. The Texas Legislature will be sitting as a Constitution Conven-
tion next January to revise the 1876 Texas document.
“The status of the 37-member Constitutional Revisional Commission is
that they are in the preparatory stage of their report to submit to the Legis-
lature by Nov. 15 I'd like to hear student recommendations, visit and have an
opportunity to see if their ideas correspond with the commission,” Parker said
Remodeling of Building Awaits Results of Analysis
The remodeling of the Information Science Building is awaiting the out-
come of a cost analysis to determine if the work proposed will fit within the
alloted budget
The legislature has allocated $1,313,750 for the remodeling, but the private
firm of C'lutts and Parker was asked to study the total cost of the project.
Dr. James Rogers, director of the Office of Institutional Analysis and Plan-
ning, said that the cost analysis is necessary to insure that the proposed work
will remain within the budget.
If the cost analysis shows that there is not enough money to cover costs, then
the plans will have to be rearranged. Dr. Rodgers said.
Plans that are currently proposed will make the Information Science Build
ing look more like a modern library with lounge areas, offices and classrooms.
John L. Carter, vice-president for fiscal affairs, said that “the work will bring
an old building up to modern standards.”
