NT Marketing Majors
Research for Merchants
Fifty North Texan marketing majors
are receiving first hand experience in mar-
keting research this week am) at the same
time an giving Dentonites an opportunity
to express opinions on community im-
provements nnd needs.
The survey, which was planned by the
I>entnn Chamber of Commerce, will l>e
concludei) Saturday anil then tabulated
by the North Texas School of Business
Administration Iir Rowe Me ad or of the
business administration faculty is super-
vising the project Results of the poll are
expected to be available Auk 21).
The survey is designed to assist loral
merchants to stock the goods customers
prefer and to determine what improve-
ments shoppers would like to see made in
the l>enton area
Hobby Leather-wood, senior marketing
major from Big Spring, said those he
questioned were most concerned about
th ' need for l«etter entertainment facilities
anil smoother streets,
"Shoppers are cooperating fully with
the poll," said Johnny i'agel, a senior
marketing major from Ponder. Students
a re conducting the survey in downtown
Denton and the Denton (.'enter-Univer-
sity Drive area Kach student is working
two to four hours a day, and a total of
2,000 completed questionnaires will be
sought Kach questionnaire is three pages
long and includes 26 questions. Some
sample questions are:
• In what city or town is your purchas-
ing done ?
• What mode of transportation do you
use ?
• How many stores did you shop be-
fore purchasing ^
• Were you able to buy what you
planned ?
Shoppers were asked to rate stores with
regard to services, facilities and quality
of merchandise Dentonites also had the
opportunity to express opinions on the
efficiency of sales personnel.
Some of the suggestions from Denton
shoppers included a YMCA, more parking
spare, more sporting good stores and a
Boys' Club Citizens also suggested that
the quality of Denton eating establish-
ments tie raised, that a cafeteria be built
and that more recreational facilities be
offered for teen-agers. Others suggested
that ii local option elei Hon on the sale of
liquor in the city be held.
Surveyor Jim Borchardt of Garland said
that the type of answer and the number
of completed interviews varied with the
location of the stuilent and the age of
the person being interviewed.
Jim Stone, local men's clothing retailer
and chairman of the trade development
division, and John Brooks of the business
faculty, vice-chairman of the education-
institution division, are cooperating with

DOPE INFLUENCES HALF OF CRIMINALS
Narcotics Bureau Officer Says Some Addicts Lose Regard for Human Life, Have Few Desires
By NANCY FRY
In 1963, the national crime rate reached
a new high. In 19H4. that record was broken
with a total of 2.6 million serioua crimes
being committed.
And, according to a recent study, over 60
per cent of the persons committing theae
crimes are under the influence of narcotics,
Capt. Pat Gannaway of the narcotics bureau
of the Dallas Police Department emphasised
in an address to the Health Education Work-
shop Wednesday.
Six serious crimes are being committed
each minute, Gannaway pointed out.
Most drug addicts begin with "goof balls."
This category includes dexadrene, henzadrene
and weight tablets, he said.
The next step is barbiturates such as sleep-
ing pills, pills for epilepsy arid medicine for
a nervous stomach. Such pills can lie taken
for years under the prescription of a physi-
cian with no ill effects, he pointed out, but
when taken in extreme excess, they become
dangerous and habit-forming.
Most people go from barbiturates to mari-
huana cigarettes, Gannaway stated Such cig-
arettes are one-third the size of a regular
cigarette, are rolled in brown paper, and
cost $1 each. Persons under the influence of
marihuana commit crimes of violence with
no apparent reason Many "underworld" men
use marihuana just before they commit a
crime, (iannaway pointed out.
The next otep is the use of cocaine, a white,
sparkly narcotic that looks like snow Per-
sons who use it will begin by sniffing it,
(iannaway said. Then they will put it on the
end of their tongue.
Cocaine costs more than any other narcotic.
One capsule costs $21) in Dallas at present,
the policeman said.
The strongest narcotics are the opiums.
Heroine, for example, is the most popular
It has the strongest addicting properties and
is plentiful
(iannaway explained that moat heroine in
Texas comer from Mexico. Dope "puahera"
mix 3 ounces of milk sugar with one ounce
of heroine. Each capaule contains one grain
of this mixture When thia mixture is sold,
the pusher will receive about about $8,000
for the commodity he paid only $800 for.
Kach capsule costa a buyer $6. and a good
"little" habit requires about three capsules
a day, (iannaway pointed out. A good habit
requires about 12 capsules a day, and worse
addiction requires even more. Some persons
pay as high as $120 per day for heroine.
When opium is used, it is injected into the
flesh Opium addlcta require from four to
eight "fixes" per day Such addicts begin
use by injecting opium into their arm just
inside the ellmw However, soon this area
liecomes too hardened with scars and the user
has to move farther down the arm. This is
repeated until the dope is injected just any-
where in (he body 'hat isn't too scarred for
use, (iannaway explained
When a dspe ftad cannot receive a "ft*"
his deaire becomes very proaouneed wttfcta
eight to 16 hour*. Thia ia characterised ky
dilated pupils and runny noea.
Within 18 to 20 hours, back end lac asna
cles and joints ache. Within 24 koora voaalt-
ing and diarrhea aat in. It tnkea two to ail
montha for a user to get off dope, he aeid.
"As long as I have been a police offker, I've
never seen a dope addict stay off of it com-
pletely," he added.
(jannaway pointed out the characteristics
of dope addicta. Their whole outlook on life
changes. They have no conception of time,
no desire for friends and no deaira to «•«
ahead. Most important, they have no regard
for human life Moat paid killara are dope
addicts, he said.
"I have now been talking to you for one
hour," (iannaway said, "and during that time
there were 300 serious crimes committed in
the United States. Of theae Crimea, 60 per
cent were committed by persona under the
influence of dope."

Concerts To Close Summer Season
Orchestra, Chorus Unite
To Present "King David'
Arthur Honegtfer's "King David" will be presented by
the Summer Orchestra and Summer Chorus at 8:15 p.m.
Tuesday in the Music Recital Hall. The widely performed
French oratorio, directed by Lee Gibson of the music facul-
ty will be narrated by Thomas Harllee of the foreign lan-
guage department.
"King David" (Le Roi David) was written by the
Frenchman Honegger, who is generally accepted as a con-
temporary composer. Horn in Le Havre in 18!>2, he is viewed
as the most gifted of the members of the "Croup of Six"
(Les Six) which is made up of the six eminent French
composers Although the composer is un ex
ponent of polytonnlity (many keys played
at the same time), Honegger's music is still
classic in form.
CONDUCTOR GIBSON
A symphonic psalm in three parts. "King
David," is an adaptation of the Biblical dra
ma by Rene Morax. It consists of five acts
or "stages" corresponding to the five suc-
cessive stations in the life of the hero David:
shepherd, leader, war chief, prophet and
king
The symphonic psalm that was created
from the drama is in three acts and 27 pieces.
The first part, comprising the essentials of
the first three stations, consists of 14 pieces;
the second part consists of only two; and
the third part of 11.
The Summer Symphony Orchestra consists
of 41 players. Members of the School of Mu-
sic faculty who will be in the concert are
Russell Miller and Dr George Morey, violin,
and Miss Margaret Grubb, violu.
Featured soloists from the 63-memher
Summer Chorus are Janet Cavanaugh, so
prano; Carolyn Adams, contralto, Arley
Reece, tenor; Judy Ormson, witch of Endor;
Dick Whitten, piano; ami Sammie McLellan,
celeste. "King David" was presented previ-
ously at North Texas on July 2, 1959
In another School of Music production on
Aug. 20, the Opera Workshop, under the
direction of resident tenor Eugene Conley,
will present a program consisting of two
operas and excerpts from two other works.
The two complete operas, both one-act
productions, are "Captain Lovelock" by John
Duke and "You Never Know" by Boris Kout-
zen.
Road Trip
This Time
Plans Are Go,
for Basketball
The road trip for the University of Ar-
kansas game has been canceled by the 1 SN I
Summer Board because of transportation dif-
ficulty, but an alternate road trip is being
planned for a basketball game, t'SN T Vice-
I'resident Jebby Prindle said Tuesday night.
Continental buses will be chartered, how-
ever to take those who wish to go to the
Arkansas game, she added. The price of the
round trip will lie approximately $11 plus
game tickets, and cold drinks will lie served
on the bus. The arrangements will not be
considered as the traditional road trip, Miss
Prindle said, but rather as a service to North
Texas students
The original plan was to charter a Texas
and Pacific train for the trip to Arkansas
When TAP could not make such a train
available. USNT officer* contacted the Santu
Fe Railroad but found the Santa Ke rates
were too high for student budgets.
The basketball road trip will be an experi-
ment No decisions have been made as to
what school students will visit, but Baylor
University is under consideration. All Sum
NSF Grants Aid NT Researchers
By JIM BOWMAN
Although many North Texans are aware of
the four National Science Foundation (NSK)
summer institutes which have been conduct-
ed on campus this summer, some may not
realize the scope of NSK program here in
recent years Since 1959 the foundation has
awarded a total of $653,860 in grants to
NTS!' Since last September alone $231,949
in grants have being awarded
The NSF, founded in I960 as an indepen-
dent arm of the federal executive branch,
functions to provide funds for basic research
in science and related fields and to under-
write institutes that update tie knowledge
of college, high school and elementary school
teachers
"The National Science Foundation is not
under any cabinet member," explains Dr.
R C Sherman of the biology and chemistry
departments. "The NSF is answerable di-
rectly to the President."
Through the NSF, which is governed by
a board of 24 eminent scientists and educa-
tors, grants are awarded to finance graduate
science buildings and specialized research
faiilities For instance, an NSF Graduate
Facilities (Jrant helped to renovate the bot-
tom floor of Masters Hall and to build the
research labs "The purpose of this grant
was t« improve the facilities for graduate
students and to give the professors a place
to work with graduate students," Dr. Sher-
man said.
NSF grants aiso furnish money to pur-
chase equipment for undergraduate instruc-
tion, to enable college and high school teach-
ers to join in research projects with able
scientists and to help young scientists who
are seeking advanced degrees.
As the NSF's projects and programs have
grown, the amount of money the foundation
spends each year has also increased. Ap-
propriations to the NSF rose from $3.6 mil-
lion in 1962 to $42(1 million last year. For
this fiscal year House and Senate commit-
tees have approved nearly haif a billion dol-
lars to support the agency's many programs.
Basic research consumes about 70 per cent
of the foundation's budget, in one of the
agency's basic research projects called "Pro-
ject Mohole," a hole will lie bored (i1^ miles
into the bottom of the ocean off the mid
Pacific island of Maui, as scientists seek to
discover some of the secrets of the earth's
mantle. "They aren't looking for oil or gas,"
Dr Sherman explained "They are just trying
to And out what is down there "
The foundation is also interested in rais-
ing teacher standards. It awards grants to
various colleges and universities to establish
summer institutes for teachers. For seven
consecutive summers NSF has supported in
stitutes for teachers at North Texas. The
courses are designed to bring the teachers
up to date on the latest information in their
fields.
"We're suffering in this country because
of too few well equipped science and math-
ematics teachers," Dr. Sherman said "Too
many classes in science and mathematics
are being taught by people that haven't been
trained to teach them."
NSF grants totaling $132,940 made it pos-
sible for North Texas to offer institutes for
secondary school teachers in mathematics,
general science, economics and physics this
summer
In addition to the summer institutes. Dr
Sherman pointed out that since 1959 the
NSF has also given grants to North Texas
for in-service institutes which are offered
during the long semesters on Saturdays.
Teachers in the area who ure interested can
drive to the university for courses especially
designed to help them
Dr. Sherman doesn't foresee any signifi
cant changes in the future of the NSF's pro-
grams. "With the emphasis this country is
putting on science, engineering and technolo-
gy, I don't think it is likely that the NSJ«'
will he given less money by Congress, but
will gradually get increasing amounts." Dr
Sherman said He added that Americans are
in a period in their scientific progress in
which they are suffering from a lack of basic
knowledge
The foundation is pouring millions into
basic research to remedy this situation
through grants to promote the progress of
science.
mer Board decisions are subject to USNT
upproval in the fall.
In the past the football road trips have
not been too successful — only two in the
last five years have materialized, one in
1962 and one in 1964.

Band To Feature Miller
In Tonight's Performance
The Summer Concert Hand will present its final pro-
gram of the session at 8:15 tonight in the Music Recital
Hall.

Craduate students Dan Hearn and Jack Newton will also
be featured in a performance of "Rondo Concertante, Two
Clarinets and Band," by Tuthiil. The two clarinet soloiatii
are high school band directors who are doing graduate
work at NTSU this summer.
" 'The Concerto in G Minor' ia tha most
popular of the Bruch concertos," said Miller.
It was written between 1867 and 1870 by
Bruch, a German composer. The manuscript
of the romantic composition is on loan to
North Texas from the University of Illinois
where it was scored for band by Mark Hinds-
ley, university band director.
"Playing the violin concerto with the band
is an unusual experience." Miller explained,
"because there are no string instruments in
the band. It's an unusual combination."
MASSENET'S "PHEDRE"
The Summer Concert Band will present
"Phedre" by Massenet, a fairly new arrange-
ment scored by Lucien Cailliet, Massenet
(1842-1912) was an eminent French composer
of lyric comedy opera, the most famous
l>eing "Thais," published in 1894. "Phedre"
was published in 1913 with a group of other
works by Massenet
"THE BATTELL"
In addition, the band will piay "The Bat-
tell," by William Byrd. an English composer
who lived from 1543 "Ryrd hss been
called the Knglish I'alestrina for his su-
preme church choral music, and is also cele-
brated for his harpsichordai compositions,"
explained Max Morley, next year's graduate
band assistant Other selections from Byrd,
written in old Knglish, an- "The Marche of
Horsemen." "The Inshe Marche," "The Flute
arid the Droome." "The Burung of the Dead"
and "The Souldier's Dance."
Also on the program will he "Festive Over-
ture, Opus !«'•" by Dmitri Shostakovich, Rus-
sian composer who was born in 1906. The
NTSI' band will play a new transcription of
the piece, arranged by Donald Hunsberger.
RI SSI AN VERSION
A Russian band version of the overture
*vas released in 1958 and a new edition has
been scored for the instrumentation of the
American symphonic band "The 'Festive
Overture' is an excellent curtain raiser and
contains one of Shostakovick's greatest at-
tributes the ability to write a long sustained
melodic line combined with s pulsating
rhythmic drive," said Hunsberger, in the pre-
face to the transcription.
