School Shifts Quarters
To Brand New Structure
EACH LAST-MINUTE DETAIL MUST be attended to . . . fixing many othcrj before the business and economics building will be
chairs . . . shelving books . . . checking the elevator shaft . . . and finished. The new building is ts bo used as a center for classes and
also as the home of future college and hiqh school conventions
and seminars.
North Texas' new business ad-
ministration ami economics build-
ing i« open.
After months of construction,
students this week attended
(lasses for the fust time in the
I-shaped structure. Although the
builtillg is not completely tin
ished, the first ami second Moors
are being used, Dr. O. .1. Curry,
dean of the School of Business,
said this week.
Constructed by Wil >n. Pnuei -
son, Sowd Dunlap, ami Kp-
perly, architects ami engineers
from Fort Worth, the three story
building bus been almost com-
pletely newly furnished.
The structure, located oil the
corner of Chestnut and Avenue
A, is ipletely air conditioned.
The main olllce, located on the
first floor, is composed of five
smaller offices.
A lecture hall with a -.eating
capacity of 1(1(5 lias a large- stage
and a movie screen operated by
remote control. This room, Dr.
Curry said, would be used chiefly
for special meetings.
I he executive conference room
for faculty meeting* will neat 50.
The floor is in three levels with
chuirs ariangud in circular fash-
ion. In addition t.. faculty meet-
ings, the room will l>e used for
workshop and visiting groups,
the dean said.
There are two lecture room.-,
in the building with a Keating
capacity of I (Mi each. The chair*
are auditorium type with rising
ai in tabs.
Current magazine and period-
icals will lie displayed in the
reading room. The room features
shelves at one end of the room
which extend from the ceiling to
the floor.
The employment service office
has six interview rooms for
placement tests ami job inter-
view In addition, one wall of
the main office has hooka on com-
panies throughout the U.S. which
sent representative* to NT to
interview students about jobs.

Machine, Not Hand .
Copying Aids Library
A photo-copying machine has
helped to insure the "popularity"
of the campus library.
In the summer of 1958, the
library installed the copying device
to reproduce pages of printed ma-
terial to replace the taking of ex-
tensive notes and to supply missing
pages of library books and periodi-
cals.
• « «
However, once students, facul-
ty. and townspeople "caught on"
to the photocopier, the library-
found itself reproducing every-
thing from birth certificated to
intricate drawings of scientific
apparatus.
• ♦ ♦
The graduate office has approved
photocopies for uses in theses and
dissertations. Students engaged in
research are also finding out that
"to take a picture" of the desired
material is easier than hours of
copying by hand.
The photocopier operates on the
photographic principle of a nega-
tive and a positive proof for each
page that is copied. A negative
sheet is placed face-to-face with
the page to be copied on top of the
machine.
• * •
A timer operate* the light for
the necessary exposure, and then
the negative is separated from
the page. A positive sheet is
placed with the negative and
both are pushed through a slot.
After the sheets have been dipped
in a developing fluid, they are
"wrung out" through another
slot.
# • t
After a few seconds of drying,
the two sheets are peeled apart and
a perfect reproduction appears on
the positive sheet. The negative is
then discarded as both a new nega-
tive and positive sheet are required
for each copy.
The library charges a fee of 10
cent* for each copy that is made
which includes both the negative
and the positive sheets. Students
may operate the photocopier them-
selves after the proper instruction.
If the student wishes the li-
brary to reproduce copy for him,
he is charged 25 cents. These
fees cover about half the ex-
penses needed to operate the ma-
chine, Director David Webb said.
"As most machines invariably
break down, the library's photo-
copier occasionally develops an ail-
ment that puts it out of commis-
sion for several .lays at a time. It
must be admitted that these brief
interludes are a welcome interrup-
tion in the constant stream of re-
quests for the use of the photo-
copier," Webb said recently.
An Editorial...
If you own an official NTSC class rinj? and are a mem-
ber of a Greek letter organization there is a good chance
that you have unknowingly bought an unguaranteed gem.
The tourmaline stone setting in the official college
rings sold in the Student Trading Post is not ;-uaranteed
if it is encrusted with lettering. This is a little-known fact
—little known, that is, bv the students who order rings and
request such lettering.
Anyone who happens to ask about this before order-
ing his ring is provided with the information. But what
about those who don't ask 7
During this summer session several students have
complained that they weren't provided with such informa-
tion before ordering their rings. At least one irate stu-
dent cancelled his order after learning that the encrusting
voids the guarantee, which otherwise protects the pur-
chase for life.
The ('hat believes that a sign furnishing that informa-
tion should be placed in a conspicuous location. This would
prevent any further misunderstandings.
The Chat also believes that, since the ring sold in the
Trading Post was selected by the students of NTSC' through
their representatives in the USNT as the official college
ring, everything possible should be done to encourage the
sales of this ring.
Providing sufficient information would definitely help.

Can Radiation Alter
Reflex Arc Reaction?
by JANET HOOPER
A new series of experiments to
study the effects of irradiation on
the spinal cord activity is being
i-'./iiducted by Dr. James It. Lott
of I lie biology faculty, assisted by
Ben M oore, Houston, and Chris
Velte, Fori Worth.

"Russians claim that they can

doses of radiation," Dr. Lott ex-
plained.

The purpose of Dr. Lott's ex-
periments is to see if small dos-
ages of X-irradiation can alter
relatively simple reflex arc re
spouses in the spina! cord.
The project is supported by a
$11,203 grant from the Atomic En-
ergy commission.
A spinal reflex arc may he de-
scribed as a stimulus response re-
action in which the spinal cord
acts as a mediator. When one steps

It explains why a car at (K) mph
has 0 times as much moving energy
as the same car at 20 mph "Most
people do not realise that the brak-
ing time and distance is not tripled,
but squared," Dr. Council said It
is important to understand, he
added, that the total stopping dis-
tance for a car increases radically
with speed.
Linear momentum is another

as miles per hour.
"Although prohahly not too prac

people think about the speed at
which they are traveling," he said.

and relayed by sensory nerve fi-
bers to the back portion of the
spinal cord.
Inside the cord, the message is
integrated and another impulse is
sent out from the cord's front por-
tion over motor nerve fibers to
muscles which contract to move the
foot away from the tack, he illus-
trated.
A great portion of our daily
body movements is carried on at
I he spinul level and does not in -
volve direct control by the brain.
Dr. Lott contended.
* • «
The first phase of this work
will involve an attempt to alter
the transmission of these nerve
impulses, which are electrical in
nature, by X-irradiation in exper-
iments on cats. Dr. Lott added.
• #
Having carefully exposed the
spinal cord of the animal, atimu-
laling electrodes (wires) will be
placed under the nerve fiber com-
ing into the cord, and pick-up
electrodes will he placed uridcr
the fiber* leaving the cord.
* ♦
The size and the speed of the
impulses put out by the animal's
nerve fibers will be determined by
an oscilloscope. This instrument
displays the impulse on a screen
which can fie photographed and
studied by the kymograph camera.
A second phase of this study will
depend on the results obtained in
the first one. Dr. Lott noted. If
it is possible to alter the reflex
activity of the spinal cord, then
an attempt will be made to alter
effects of the irradiation by the
application of various drogs to the
animal prior to or and after ir-
radiation.
• * ♦
Dr. Lolt also plans to study
the effect* of irradiation on
brain activity, using a special
electrode implantation technique.

"First, I must work out the ef-
fects of irradiation 'it, the spinal
level before I can go into the
brain," he pointed out.
