All-College Elections
Other activity in Tuesday's
USNT meeting included a sug-
gestion by Kelley that five North
Texas elections be considered All-
College elections and come under
the jurisdiction of the elections
hoard.
This suggestion wits made be-
en use of the confusion in the past
between some organizations as *.o
what would constitute an All-Col-
lege election.
Kelley suggested that the AII-
Collegc fall election. Yucca beauty
election. Homecoming queen elec-
tion, Relays queen election, and
the All-College spring election
come under elections board super-
vision.
No action can be taken on this
suggestion until the fall semester
since the suggestion would consti-
tute an amendment to the consti-
tution and must he voted on by the
student body.
A resolution concerning the in-
stallation of an activity point sys-
tem at North Texas to restrict of-
fice holders could not he worked

A fin started by overheated grease in the kitchen during the
noon-hour rush swept through Dyche's Drug store Friduy leaving the
interior charred practically lieyond salvation, although the exterior
was relatively undamaged.
Approximately thirty students were in the drug store, located
across from the administration building on Sycamore street, when the
fire started.
Firemen arrived in time to check the fast-spreading blaze and
hold major damage down to one building. A beauty shop located di-
rectly behind the drug store suffered some smoke damage, but the fire
did not spread past Dyche's.
Byron (Jill, proprietor of the store, estimated the damage to his
building as "several thousand dollars." Students who held meal tick-
ets at the drug store may have their money returned at Jones Clean-

Committee Recommends
Change in Resolution
Dead week at North Texan became virtually a certainty
for future students Tuesday when the USNT approved an
amended version of the original resolution.
Members of the faculty met with student representatives
last week to review the resolution. The amended version,
printed in full below, was submitted to the senate for approv-
al with two recommendations.. —————
The faculty-student committee
recommended thut Dcud week not
go into full effect this year due
to previous scheduling of events
during that period hy various clubs
und organizations on the campus.
They uIko recommended that
USNT send out requests to the
various cuutpus organizations, so-
rorities, and fraternities not to
schedule events during Dcud wvcli
this year.
With the approval of the Dean's
council, the Dead week resolution
will be written into the college Tip-
Off ami will be enforced by the
administration in future years.
The Dead week resolution, as it
now stands, states:
"In order to provide for the stu-
dents sufficient time for review be-
fore the beginning of the semester
examinations, a period is set aside
seven days before the beginning
of the semester examinations to he
known as Dead week.
"The social calendar of the col-
lege is to he closed during this
period, as well as during the semes-
ter examinations, and the student
organizations will not schedule
social events or meetings.
"The faculty is also asked not to
give written examinations other
than those concerned with daily
lessons and all themes, notebooks,
and term projects must be turned
in during the last seven days of
each semester before the semester
examinations, hut no project of a
term nature may he assigned dur-
ing Dead week."
