Dead Week To Start Thursday

during the last three weeks of a semester, a student wouldn't have
much time to prepare himself for final examinations, That is why
Dead Week came into being

activities during this time, and teachers should refrain from giving
assignments ami examinations," Vice-President J J Spurlock said
Wednesday
"Teachers may have students turn in papers and themes that
were assigned before this period, and daily tests may be given," Dr
Spurlock continued
He added that teachers should follow this policy; it is more than
just tradition.
Dead Week begins .Ian 14 and lasts through Jan 20
Spring Class Schedules Available
Spring class schedules and schedules of final examinations are
still available in the Registrar's Office
Final exams will be Jan 21 to Jan 2 >. and registration for the

ing the summer training course
plus six cents a mile for (ravel-
ing expenses. Cadets will attend
the six-week camp beginning
June 13 or Aug 1, whichever
if convenient to the cadet.
Approximately 3,500 cadets arc
expected to attend tht training
course representing the IHti Air
Force ROT< units in colleges
and universities throughout the
United States
The new two-year program al-
so makes it possible for interest
ed students, now enrolled in in
creasing numbers at junior col
leges around the country, to
qualify and compete for officer
commissions provided they are
accepted into a four-year college
offering AFROTC.
I.ESS CLASHES
Other changes brought about
by the new legislation include
a reduction in classroom hours
from five to three hours per
week in the advanced course; a
totally new and updated curric-
ulum with new instructional
methods; and authority to pro
vide tuition and fees for four
years to certain selected students
in hard-core areas needed to fill
Air Force requirements
All cadets presently enrolled
in the advanced program of the
corps will benefit from the new
legislation through the monthly
pay raise from $27 to $4<> The
Cr 'eta are paid quarterly He-
fore cadets can receive the pay
raise or enter the new program
they must be sworn into the
Air Force Reserve.
In addition to the new six-
week training course, all two-

it is practiced today by lieing

aircraft on a "space available"
program to any Air Force in-
stallation in the United States.
Maj Louis A Johnagin, com-
mandant of cadets, pointed out
that the idea for a change in
the ROTC program was initiated
three years ago when the Air
Force realized that there was a
great need to meet the require-
ment of supplying officers.
"We have every reason to be-
lieve that this will afford many
students the opportunity to en
roll in AFROTC who were not
in a position to take advantage
before," he said, "It will give
these students $400 a year fi
nancial assistance plus insuring
them a job upon graduation"
Maj. Johnagin explained that
one of the problems arising from
the structural change in the
program was that of processing
the cadets' records. Fourteen sets
of forms must be completed prior
to the summer training program
Maj. Miller expressed concern
that transfer students from the
31 junior colleges in Texas be
aware of the changes in the pro
gram. "The interested students
are being contacted and afford

Student Teacher Session
Will Use New Format
When the 150 student teachers
meet for their second session to
discuss problems at 9 a m today
in the Education Lecture Hall, a
completely new format will be used
for the program.
Dr C. M Clarke, director of
teacher training, said this meeting
will be to discuss the problems that
have arisen during the course of
student teaching and how the
teacher might later benefit from
them At past such meetings, prob-
lem solving has been the mam top
ic of discussion. Now, he said, no
solving will be attempted
Dr Clarke feels that to try prob-
lem solving thi* late in the semes-
I ter would be useless because the
students, having nearly completed
their teaching, aren't easily stim-
ulated hy discussion
The meeting will consist of four
clinic sessions headed by two fac>
ulty coordinators each The clinics
will be run twice, and each student
is expected to attend two of the
sessions
The clinics will be made up of
four distinct topics of student
needs, Dr Clarke said. These In
elude planning, classroom proced-
ures, grading systems and rela
tionships with students.
The faculty coordinators will
help the students choose the clinic
that will be most helpful to them
If there i* no specific need on the
student's part, he ran attend any
session he wishes, Dr. Clarke said

Three members of the North
Texas history faculty said this
week that chances for the sue
cess of President Johnson's pro
posals made in his State of the
Union Address Monday are good
But Dr Richard Kottman, Dr.
William Hagan and Dr. Irby C
Nichols agreed that a consider
able part of the President's mes-
sage was oriented for voter ap
peal.
JOHNSON'S INFORMAL in

leaders, the most publicized part
of his address, may be accepted,
but the Russians probably will

year," he explained
In another point Johnson call
ed for a re-unification of tier

Hut Dr. Nichols feels this ta*(<
may take at least the next dec
ade.
"Germany will probably ulti-
mately In unified peacefully, but
we might have to offer neutrality
of Germany to Russia as a price
for unity," he continued The
re unification of Germany will
not take place, he added, as long
as the "Russians still fear the
power of a unified Germany "
ASKED MtOl 'l the success
of Johnson's proposed changes
in the electoral college. Dr N'ic
hols said there might not be a
re organization of the system be
cause so much tradition sur
rounds it as a part of the checks-
and-balances system. He added
that Johnson wants first to gel
rid of all unpledged electors so
the popular opinion of the peo-
ple will be reflected
Dr Kottman said he thought
the most important thing about
Johnson's message was "his ov
ertures to the Soviet leaders and
his apparent desire to travel to
Latin America and Western Eur
ope " So far, he noted, the Pres
ident has concentrated his ef-
fort* on domestic problems and
policies.
Another important aspect of
the uddress, according to
Kottman, is that "Johnson
apparently going to fight for
broadened welfare itate con-
cept."
DR. KO'ITM \ N believe! John-
son's oratory on extending dem-
ocratic concepts throughout the
world was "made to appeal to
American people, because John
son is aware that we do have
limitations For example, we
probably would avoid any ma-
jor confrontation with China"
Hi Hagan said one of the
most important things about
Johnson's address was that "it
destroyed any illusion people
might have bad that he is going
to be easy on this session of
Congress "
In connection with Johnson's
expanded social welfare con
cepts, Dr Hagan said that vot
ers may object to them in pnn
cipie hut will support those lulls
which are in their interests But,
he aiided as an example, "the
federal government can't cure
juvenile delinquency by edict."
DR. H AIi \ N indicated that
the success of Johnson's pr>'

his legislation arid iti. rest he

In summary, Dr Hagan said
the success of Johr ion's forth-
coming legislation will lie made
possible more because of the re

than because of the 1 lemocratic
majority in Congress The rules
