Senate Votes Salaries
To Top USNT Officers
The USNT Senate voted 23-7 Tuesday
night to start paying the USNT presi-
dent $160 per semester and the vice-
president $125.
The decision was made after the
senate "passed an amendment to the
1968-69 USNT budget proposed by J. 7.
Lowe, sophomore clase president. Lowe
recommended that the two executive of-
ficers be compensated for their time.
The secretary receives $176 per year.
The senate discuaaed the possible use
of the Student Activity Fund for the
officers' fees. USNT President Troy
Phillips explained the purpose of the
fund: "The activity fee was increased by
$1 this year in order that the students
might have more campus activities. This
money is under the jurisdiction of the
senate, but is actually administered by
the students."
LOWE FURTHER proposed that the
salaries be taken from the $3,460 senate
budget. With this amendment, the bud-
get, as presented by Larry Brinkley,
budget officer, was approved.
Senate president Mickey Burnim ap-
pointed four officers to serve the senate
for 1968-69. They are chaplain, Jim Dem-
ming, sophomore, Houston; clerk, Jane
Key, freshman, Fort Worth; scrgeant-at-
armn, Mike Berkley, freshman, Dallas,
and parliamentarian, Pam !*ong, junior,
Dallas.
A spwial committee was formed to
study the possibilities of a new system of
representation for USNT. "We need a
more acceptable and better way to serve
the students and represent them. We do
not feel that elections by classes is as
effective as possibly other methods of
representation," Burnim said.
THE COMMITTEE is composed of
Sen. Lowe and students Carol Taylor,
junior, Port Arthur; Mellonoe Burnim,
sophomore, Teague, Mike Chalk, junior,
Kerrville, and Michael Hopkins, junior,
Dallas.
John Stone, representing the Student
Activities Committee, asked the senate
to support an all-college semiformal
Christmas dance to be held Dec. 13.
"There will be no charge for students
with an NTSU ID and the lw nd will be
the 'A1 TNT Brag Review,' featuring
female vocalist Rhea Kelly." Stone ex-
plained.
Stone reported that ticketa for the
"Rowan and Martin Laugh-In," to be
staged in the Tarrant County Convention
Center Nov. 23, will be available on
campus this week. The $3 ticketa are on
sale at the UB.
Lowe reported that investigation ia
continuing on the possibility of having
an ombudsman on campus. The commit-
tee, he said, is gathering information
regarding the duties, responsibilities,
Eight Deny
Obscenity
Of Paper
Three NTSU students, three former
students and two nonstudents from Dal-
las pleaded not guilty to the charge of
distributing obscene literature at a hear-
ing here Thursday afternoon in corpora-
tion court.
i*o trial date was scheduled.
The students and exes asked for a
jury trial, calling the charges unconsti-
tutional.
Dan Curlee, an attorney from Fort
Worth and member of the American Civil
Liberties Union, represented the nine
persons, all of whom are members of
Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS.)
A crowd of over 100 watched as each
defendant was charged with the offense.
Two of the defendants had added
charges of vagrancy. They were Mr.
and Mrs. Bartee Haile, regional direc-
tors of SDS from Dallas. They are not
students.
Exes Jay Derris, Charles Sullivan and
Norman Bemelmans and students Ted
Jamison, Stanley Snyder and Fred
Kaminsky wen- the students charged.

salary, qualifications and tenure of such
an officer.
BEN KRESSMAN of the Faculty and
Course Evaluation (FACE) program re-
ported that the program is engaged in
improvement methods and that three
faculty committees have been formed to
revise the IBM proofs of the FACE
questionnaire.
Marsha Wright, junior senator, intro-
duced a bill to allow pre-registration for
seniors who expect to graduate following
the semester for which they are enroll-
ing. The proposed bill would avoid the
possibility of seniors not being allowed
to enroll in the classes they need in or-
der to graduate.
Junior Sen. Pete Hammerle proposed
a bill that the senate undertake investi-
gation of a student-oriented budget
drawn from a means of student assess-
ment. This assessment would be used to
finance senate programs.
ALL BILLS proposed at the Tuesday
meeting were referred to committees for
study.
At next week's meeting Phillips will
give a nine-week progress report on
senate activities. President John J. Kam-
erick will be a guest at the meeting. He
will be honored by the senate at a re-
ception after the meeting.

9 Suggestions on Student Rights Made

Author Calls U.S. Loser
In Israeli-Arab Conflict
By BETTYE MEC.ASON
Chat Staff Writer
The loser of the six-day war in June
1967 was neither Israel nor the Ai*abs;
it was the United States, author-news-
tnan Robert St. John said here Tueeday
night in the second presentation of the
University Lecture Series.
Before the war began, he said, the
United States controlled the eastern
Mediterranean Sea. But Rusaia now has
50 ships in the eastern Mediterranean.
"The United Stales? Forget it," St.
John said.
ST. JOHN spoke on "The Headline-
Makers" before a crowd of about 700 in
the Main Auditorium. After opening with
* comment about the North Texas Li-
brary (it has 11 of his 16 books) and an
explanation of why he has a beard (it
helps program chairmen And him in air-
ports), St. John told of his start in the
newspaper business.
Hia first contact with headline-mak-
«fs was at the age of 20 when A1 Ca-
pone took him for a car ride to try to
persuade him to stop the crusade St.
John was sponsoring against the gang-
fUr.
Since then. St. John has been to 82
muntries and traveled three million
miles.
AFTER DISCUSSING Egypt's Nasser
and Jordan's King Hussein Tuesday, St.
John tacklod France's Charles de Gaulle.
"De Gaulle is proof that life can begin
ftt 67," the journalist said. He noted that
in 1934 De Gaulle wrote a book on mili-
tary matters, called "The Amy of the
future." The book was ignored by the
French, but the Nasi* read it very care-
fully and developed aome of their mill-
tary strategy from it, St. John charged.
Secretary-General U Thant of the
United Nations was the laat of St. John's
Headline-makers. "He is a modeat man,
very soft spoken," St, John aaid. U Thant
was once an active antioommuniat but
rince hia election aa secretary-general
He has maintained neutrality, St. John
■aid. U Thant has spoken out on the
Vietnam war, calling it "one of the moat
ugly wars in the history of mankind."
St. John ended his lecture with two
observations. He said that never in the
history of the world has any nation been
looked up to like the United States at
the end of World War II. "We were a
young, healthy, strong nation and we
lived our ideals. Today, we are looked
down upon because other nations see the
ugly gulf between the word and the
deed," he said, citing the Vietnam war.
The Vietnam situation violates "the
sixth commandment, the Golden Rule,
international law. Article 1 of the U.S.
Constitution, the advice of George Wash-
ington and Abraham Lincoln and Renja-
min Franklin and the teachings of Jesus
Christ," St. John concluded.
About 40 students and professors
heard u suggestion for rhnng><'  in the
structure of the Campus Chat Wednes-
day.
The suggestion came at a meeting of
the American Association of University
Professors (AAUP) Committee on the
the joint statement on rights, freedoms
and responsibilities of students, The
committee, meeting in the Business Ad-
ministration Lecture Hall, revealed nine
recommendations concerning student af-
fairs.
The recommendations will go to the
AAUP chapter's full memlnfrship for
discussion and ratification, amendment
or rejection. The next genera! meeting
is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 3.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS were
"1. The 'in loco parentis' principle
should be discarded and true adult re-
sponsibility extended to students where-
ever possible.
"2. The possibility of de facto segre-
gation in university dormitories should be
investigated further, and if it is found
to exist, it should be eliminated.
"3. Student participation in academic
deciaions should be encouraged and en-
sured by the establishment of a faculty
and course evaluation system and the
participation of students in curriculum
and tenure deciaions.
"4. A STUDENTS disciplinary rec-
ords should not be opened to off-campus
personnel without the student's permis-
sion and should be destroyed as soon as
he is graduated
"fi Standards for university recogni-
ti< n of campus organizations should be
made clear. Students should be able to
discuss snd to advocate any idea, but
U~, n.ny not engage in illegal action
as nn authorixed campus organisation.
"6. The public should be informed of
the true nature and role of a university
through an information campaign using
all channels of communication.
"7. Students should have greater edi-
torial control of the campus newspaper.
A WRITTEN CODE of conduct
a dual penalty system and a care-
"8.
with
fully defined appeals procedure should be
ehtablished.
"9. This committee should be con-
tinued."
The committee recommends that one
of the following compromises concerning
the Chat be established to give greater
student control:
1. Transfer editorial authority to a
universitywide. publications board.
2. Journalism faculty members might
continue to check copy in advance, but
they would be allowed to make only
stylistic, not substantive changes.
3. One edition of the Chat per week
could be produced by journalism stu-
dents; the other or others by separate
staffs, free of advance approval of copy.
4. If 3 is not feasible for financial or
other reasons, one page of each issue
of the Chat could be tile responsibility
of journalism students and the journal-
ism department; the rest of the issue
could be written by a separate staff.
Comment came from many sides. One
student (names were not asked by the
committee) said that the Chat ignores
social problems on campus and isn't a
true expression of student thought.
DON BANKSTON, president of the
Young Democrats, said "Speaking from
an establishment viewpoint, we haven't
had a factual story yet."
Speaking in behalf of the Chat were
C. E. Shuford, director of the journalism
department and editor Jerry Smith. Shu-
ford questioned whether the committee
had talked to enough people (one) in
the journalism department to come to
its conclusion. He said it was impractical
to turn the Chat over to untrained stu-
dents.
One opposing student said the paper
should strive for more "student expres-
sion and not journalistic precision."
