North Texas campus, will play for a
dance Nov. 2. The show is sponsored by
the Student Activities Committee.
Admission will be $1.25 per person
The group will have two 45 minute per-

THEM
They were the first British group to
perform at a club in the United Slates
The group returned to England when
their visas expired. After returning to
the States with their new American man-
ager Kay Ruff, THEM set out on a tour
of 61 cities and broke 32 attendance
records.
Among their singles are "Baby Please
Don't Go," their first hit; "Gloria," a
2ln million seller: "Here Comes the
Night," and "Mystic Eyes" Their two
LPs were hardly less successful as
"Them" topped a million sales, and
"Them Again" is heading in the same
direction.
Their first r*ord, "Baby Please Don't
Go," became the theme song for the
British television show "Ready Steady

have appeared on many television shows
in England, and have given concerts
throughout Europe

stands to receive $1,456,783 out of the
total grant of $21,485,707. He said that
Congress is expected to appropriate the
funds by November, and NTSU should
receive federal approval shortly there-
after.
In making application for federal aid.
each college and university must answer
specific questions relating to its finan-
cial needs. Points are allotted the school
on the basis of these answers, and prior-
ity rankings are then determined on the
basis of these points.
NORTH TEXAS STATE'S request
came as a result of need for additional
funds to assist in the construction of
Phase I of the new three-phase library
provided for by the Master Plan.
The estimated cost for the first phase
will be $1.2 million, and, according to
Dr. Rogers, the federal government will
defray one-third of that total while the
school provides the rest.
Dr. Rogers said, "We assume that
since the appropriation process is under
way it will not delay the construction of
the building."
The Coordinating Board reported that
29 grants totaling $15,819,763 were rec-
ommended for 14 state and six private
institutions. The remaining $5.5 million
was allocated to junior colleges. The
board further reported, "Including this
year's grants, total funds committed un-
der this program will be $81,231,332.
This total covers a three-year period."
Dance Date
Set Nov. 2
By GEORGE GARCIA
"Up With People," a musical revue by
170 young performers who write their
own music and who have done shows at
Carnegie Hall and abroad, will be pre-
sented twice at North Texas Oct. 27.
The shows called Sing Outs—will be
at 11:60 a.m. in front of the UB and
at 8 p.m. in the Main Auditorium. The
morning show is free. Students and
faculty members from NTSU and TWU
may buy $1.50 tickets for the evening
performance in the University Store
starting Tuesday morning.
BOOKING of the revue was accom-
plished with only three weeks' notice by
the newly formed Student Activities
Committee that was set up to coordinate
efforts in the area of campus entertain-
ment.
"I think it's going to be one of the
biggest things we've had," USNT Presi-
dent Charles Dixon said. "I hope the
Greeks and other organizations will help
promote it, since we have such a short
time."
Dixon said that the Sing Out idea came
from a meeting of a group called Moral
R '-Armament in 1965 and that now there
are three such groups touring the coun-
try.
"They evolved from an idea to pre-
sent an improved image for American
youth in the struggle for world peace
and improvement they just try to sing
their message," he said.
The "Up With People" show has been
seen on national television and has tour-
ed Germany, Austria, Spain, Korea and
Japan. The group was favorably received
at Tokyo's Waseda University, where
anti-American violence once broke out
during a visit by Dwight Eisenhower.
The American ambassador to Japan had
even tried to discourage the Tokyo visit
for fear of another incident.
HANS MANGUS, a Norwegian who
does advance work for the group, said
\\ ednesday that the Sing Out was not a
nationalist movement, but one to "link
this generation around the world."
"Somehow we've got to articulate in
positive terms what it is going to take
to provide the 21st Century with capable
leadership," he said.
Magnus added, "Much of the world
depends on the American student's re-
sponse and acceptance of the economic
and political power available to him.
Protest movements popular on campuses
today will not solve the basic problems
of South America and Asia We have the
power to reach the moon and destroy
the earth the only thing we are really
underdeveloped in is character."
A piano, drums, clarinets and guitars
accompany such performer-written num-
bers as "Freedom Isn't Free;"' "You
Can't Live Crooked and Think Straight,"
and "What Color is God's Skin?"
Other selections are "Can't You Hear
America Calling," "Life Is Getting Bet-
ter" and "Don't Stand Still." Some of
the multiracial cast have turned down
scholarships and job offers to work in
the group. Although the players' ex-
penses are paid, they get no salary.
Not an NT Problem
Academic Freedom
Assured by Policy
A policy statement on academic free-
dom issued Monday by the Coordinating
Board of the Texas College and Uni-
versity System will have no effect on
NTSU, the administration said Wed-
nesday.
Dr. James L. Rogers, vice-president
for administrative affairs, said the
school's position already parallels the
new code set by the Coordinating Board.
Academic freedom is the right of
every instructor in a state-supported
higher institution to discuss fully—in
the classroom any aspect of the course
he teaches, the board said.
THIS POLICY has been under study
by a Coordinating Board committee since
the board was organised in 1965; how-
ever, because of the complex nature of
its activities, the board has not had
time to deal with the subject until re-
cently.
Dr. Rogers said there has never been
a case of abridgement of academic free-
dom at North Texas. If the problem
were ever to arise, the teacher involved
would be granted the privilege of a hear-
ing before the Committee on Tenure, he
said.
He explained that according to the
principles of tenure, an instructor who
is first employed at the university does
not enjoy such privileges as seniority
benefits and salary increases.
Dr. Rogers said an instructor's tenure
status depends on a recommendation
from his individual department. The rec-
ommendation goes to the president and
then to the Board of Regents, he said.
One of an instructor's tenure privi-
leges is the right to a hearing before the
Committee on Tenure in any cases in-
volving dismissal.
Dr .Rogers said dismissal can result
from any number of offenses, the most
important of which is professional in-
competence.
THE NEW CODE states that a pro-
fessor must be free from institutional
censorship or discipline for speaking,
writing or participating in actions as a
private citizen.
The code points out, however, that the
professor should recognize that the pub-
lic will judge his profession and his in-
stitution by what he says.
"Therefore, he should strive to be ac-
curate, to exercist- appropriate restraint,
to show respect for the opinions of oth-
ers and to avoid creating the imprestion
that he speaks or acts for his college
or university when he speaks or acts as
a private person," the code says.
Playing Straight From the Heart
Gypsy Gets Full House
By STEVE DEEDON
A stocky, bald gypsy with a squeaky
voice speaks broken English to his audi-
ence. He humbly asks, "Do you under-
stand me?''
As his performance ends he straight-
ens to hold his guitar up to his listen-
ers, as if to embrace them, and leaves
with a stretching wave.
Carlos Montoya needs no words. The
tooped Spanish guitarist, who does not
read music, left a capacity audience talk-
ing gypsy in the Main Auditorium Wed-
nesday.
AT THE SECOND presentation of the
Fine Arts Series, Montoya played 17
Spanish themes and encored with
"Malaguena," "The St. Louis Blues" and
"Saete," a Spanish theme featuring
imitations of trumpet and snare-drum,
rhythmed to the count of a march.
But the gypsy master is no imitator,
lie was the first flamenco guitarist to
do solo concerts. And unlike Segovia, he
has no intention of making the guitar
sound like a harpsichord. He just makes
the guitar sound like no one else can.
OUTSTANDING AMONG the selec-
lions were "Fandango," an Andalusian
theme of musical road-runners and hum-
ming tempests; "Fiesta," a typical flam-
enco dance, and "Granaina," a gypsy
theme reflecting a famous castle in
Granada.
All pieces in the performance were
highly embellished with chord bursts and
scale runs, syncopations, or hand drum-
ming on the guitar This reflects the
creative spontaneity of the gypsy heart.
Montoya himself has said, "There is no
secret to flamenco music the heart is
all."
MAESTRO MONTOYA also offered
advice to prospective professional guitar-
ists He said, in a backstage interview,
"You learn from a teacher Practice,
practice, practice and more practice —
in the right direction. I learn some by
myself, but it is just oh so thin."
Montoya was born in Madrid to gypsy
parents He began playing the guitar at
the age of 8 under the direction of his
mother. He studied with noted instruc-
tor Pepe el Barbero for two years.
Young Montoya did his first European
tour with dancer Antonia Merre, and
achieved national renown by 14. In 1948
he decided to try solo recitals — never
before done by a flamenco guitarist —
in the United States and Europe. The
result was instant success.
Since that initial tour he has performed
throughout the free world. His recitals
in New York's Town Hall have called
for added folding chairs every year.
Montoya, the most recorded flamenco
artist in history, attributes much of his
success to the popularity of long-playing
records.
A gypsy, a humble musician, a lover
of people. Montoya describes himself
and his music: "We gypsies are quite
unanalytical; you might say unintellec-
tual You feel something—you make the
guitar mirror your feeling. Trying to
analyze the music as you play it can
only cripple your artistry."
