Calhoun Drops Charges
Against USNT Prexy
K. C. Calhoun withdrew all charges
against Jimmy Deming, student govern-
ment president, at a student court trial
on those charges Monday afternoon.
Calhoun, who resigned as vice-president
of the USNT, told the two justices present
that he had intended to "expose" Deming
for manipulating the constitutional com-
mittee for his own financial gain.
"As for Jimmy publicly denying the
honest truth of what has happened, that
matter will reside with him. 1 hereby for-
mally withdraw charges against Jimmy
Deming," Calhoun said
Calhoun apologized to the court for any
inconvenience and said that he was sorry
that Deming was not present to hear him
drop the charges.
North Texas To Present
Petition to City Council
A petition from North Texas State re-
questing that three blocks of Avenue A be
closed will come before the Denton City
Council tonight.
The petition requests that Avenue A be
closed between Mulberry and Chestnut
Streets and between Prairie and Highland
Streets.
The Planning and Zoning Commission
will recommend that the three blocks be
closed with the following conditions: Dedi-
cation of the necessary right-of-way on
Mulberry to widen the street to 60 feet,
dedication of the necessary right-of-way
to remove the jog from Fry Street and re-
tention by the city of all utility easements
existing along Avenue A through the cam-
pus.
The removal of the jog at Fry Street was
recommended to be done at the same time
as the three blocks of Avenue A are closed.
The city staff will make their own recom-
mendations to the council, and the council
will then act on the petition.
Dr. Mattil To Replace
Dr. Vaughn Next Fall
Dr. tdward L. Mattil, formerly dean of
the school of fine arts at St. Cloud State
College, St Cloud, Minn., will replace Dr.
Mack D. Vaughn Jr. as chairman of the
art department here next fall.
Dr. Vaughn said that he asked to be re-
lieved of his administrative duties so he
could devote all his efforts to teaching.
Dr. Mattil received his B.A., M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees at Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity. He later became head of the art
department there for 10 years. According

and most productive doctoral program in
art in the country.
Mattil has been a past president of the
National Art Education Association and re-
ceived the 25th Anniversary Distinguished
Service Medal for Leadership in Art Edu-
cation from the National Gallery of Art,
Washington, D.C., in 1966.

IFC Denies Prexy Support
Three of the eight candidates for presi-
dent of the Student Government Associa-
tion (SGA) spoke to the lnterfraternity
Council meeting Monday afternoon. The
IFC declined to endorse any of the candi-
dates.
One of the three, Jim De Foor, Ennis
junior, is a member of Delta Sigma Phi
fraternity, which is a member of the coun-
cil. The other two speaking at the meeting
were Maury Forman, Houston junior, and
Wes Spiegel, Port Arthur sophomore.
The organization refused endorsement of
any candidate so its members can deter-
mine for themselves which candidate to
support.
HOWEVER, the outgoing president
of IFC, Jim Bob Jones, Friona senior,
urged the council to back Forman in the
election, citing Forman's experience with
USNT and the fact that he was chairman of
the committee which wrote the new SGA
constitution.

Speaking before the council, De Foor
criticized the previous student govern-
ment as being ineffective and unresponsive
to student needs.
"Student government at North Texas is
a farce compared to what it could be,"
De Foor said. "The old constitution allowed
persons who were unrepresentative of the
majority of the students to dominate the
senate."
He said this resulted in a rift between
the administration and students because
the administration "did not feel USNT
decisions were representative of the feelings
of students on campus.
HE EXPECTS the SGA to be a "really
effective, representative and responsible
student government" if the right people
are elected.
Spiegel told the IFC that its members
"would have to decide who has the most
potential to offer service to North Texas"
when voting in the upcoming election
Spiegel also announced a three-pronged
attack on the cost of attending North Tex-
as, which includes a discount program with
Denton merchants. He said he has talked
with Don Lewis, executive vice-president of
the Denton Chamber of Commerce, about
the program, and Lewis said he would sup-
port it. The other two parts of this program
were to cut prices in the University Store
and to have an "at-cost student printing
service."
FORMAN CRITICIZED the attitude
of students and the amount of money the
football program receives.
"We've got terrible problems on campus,
and the main problem is apathy," Forman
said.
He added he was running for SGA presi-
dent because he wants to prove the new
constitution is "workable." Forman was
chairman of the committee which drew up
the document.
Forman said he felt he was the most
qualified person running "since I worked
on the new constitution so much."

Ex-Marines Protest
Vet Antiwar Rally
Several North Texas veterans held their
own protest Monday before Fort Worth-
Dallas TV cameras. Their protest was in
opposition to the veterans protesting in
Washington. D.C.
"The 'Vets Against the War' have finally
pushed us enough," Ray Pistole. Richard-
son junior, said "When the\ threw their
medals at the Capitol and called us mur-
derers for going to Vietnam, that's all we
could take," Pistole added.
The three veterans who voiced their op-
position, all members of the North Texas
Ex-Marine Association, are J D Green,
Denton junior, Fred Gonzales, Dallas soph-
omore and Ex-Marine president, and Pis-
tole. A fourth veteran from the University
of Dallas, John McCann, was also protest-
ing with the group.
"We decided what we wanted to say and
then called the major media to ask if we
could air the other side of the war issue,"
Pistole said
Dallas-Fort Worth TV camera crews
from Channels 4 and 8 filmed the four
veterans in front of the Ex-Marine House
at 825 Hickory St
Although Gonzales pointed out that the
TV protest by the three Ex Marines repre-
sented their individual opinions, at least
one member spoke in opposition to the
club's involvement in the issue
"I don't think it's right for a few mem-
bers to make a statement for the whole
club," Jerry Graves, Midland junior, said.
"They claimed they were expressing indi-
vidual opinions, but that's not the way
people take it The club is divided on poli-
tical issues and besides, we arc not supposed
to be a political organization," he said
