New Copy Ideas
Thursday, September 1, 1977 ^
Two new machines have found a
home in the University Store which may
help brighten the day of NT students,
with colors and catchy sayings.
The first machine, a Xerox color

HealthGoals
On Request
A variety of mini-courses in basic
health will be offered upon request by
the Student Health Services this
semester, Mrs. Sheila Meyer, ad-
ministrative officer for the Health
Center said.
Designed as an outreach program, the
courses will be conducted away from the
Health Center, she said.
"We want to provide these for dor-
mitories. fraternities and other places.
Turnout at the Health Center for these
programs has not been as good as we
would like, so we are taking the
programs to where the people are," she
said.
copier, prints full-color reproductions of
posters, drawings and even color photos.
The second is a badge machine with the
capability of producing pin-on badges
from reproduced pictures or printed
phrases.
Although the University Store has en-
countered no problems with either
machine, the Xerox company has
released a bulletin to all businesses
which have the color machine, stating
items which may not be reproduced. It
seems that if a dollar bill is placed in the
copier, the reproduction is so close to
the original it would work in a change
machine.
Treasury bonds, money orders and
paper money are not allowed to be
printed by the machine under any cir-
cumstances.
Clyde Turner, merchandise manager
of the University Store, said they have
not had any problems with their
machine, as they received the bulletin
between three and four months ago.
The badge machine has been in the
University Store for approximately three
weeks, he said. The machine is capable
of making badges, which can be pinned
on by means of a clasp, from pictures or
printed phrases.
If a customer would like a photograph
reproduced on the button, the cost
would be $l .25.

Chair To Rest
As Chemical Kills
HUNTSVILLE (AP)—Texas con-
victs will no longer be executed by a
burst of fiery electricity but still will sit
in the electric chair when the new fatal
injection is administered.
Pending any further court action, con-
victed murderer Howard Lincoln King
will become the first to die under the
state's new execution-by-injection law
Sept. 13.
"Instead of electricity passing through
his body, a chemical will be injected,"
Ron Taylor, Texas Department of Cor-
rections spokesman, said.
IN ITS 54 year career the Huntsville
death chair has killed 361 convicts.
The only unknown remaining,
however, is what chemical will be in-
jected through the intravenous catheter.
-We've limited it to three substances,
sodium thiopental, succ.nylchlonne
chloride or sodium cyanide^ One or
more in some combination will
used," Taylor said.
The decision will be made by Sept. IA
Taylor said, one day before King, 53, is
scheduled to die.
"IT WILL BE a matter of minutes
and it is painless . . . Taylor said. The
prisoner will lose consciousness in a
matter of seconds."
Convicted murderers Billy Battle, 20,
of Tarrant County and James
Livingston, 30, of Dallas County are
scheduled to be executed Sept. 16.
Sixty-two other prisoners remain on
Texas' death row.
O'Clock Lab Band as the major enter-
tainment feature.
Two NT Union staff members are
coordinating the event, Mary Yates, as-
sistant director of student activities, and
Sara Pegues, union programs committee
secretary. Approximately 500 partici-
pants are expected to attend the meeting
in the University Union.
The ACU-I is a professional organiza-
tion composed of student personnel and
administrators in the student union
field.
"The association is designed to aid its
members through the research and
development of various phases of stu-
dent union activities," Ms. Pegues said.
"Committees within the ACU-I study
programming areas such as the perform-
ing and visual arts, outdoor recreation
and forum presentations, then present
their findings at annual conferences,
where union staff members can ex-
change information with the committees
and each other. These conferences are
held on an international level every
spring."
Meetings on a regional level perform
much the same function, "but are
specifically designed to train student
members on student union committees,""
Ms. Pegues said.
Ms. Yates, staff coordinator for the
event, said four categories of training
seminars will be presented during the
three-day session. Student union staff
members, NT faculty members and
speakers from the community will in-
struct participants.
The first category presents a general
orientation to the ACU-I for new
members, outlining its history and
organizational functions. The second
concerns leadership training, or the
development of skills that will help stu-
dents be better leaders in motivating
their committees to act.
Rudiments of programming, such as
how to book entertainment and organize
necessary preparations, will be taught in
the third category. The fourth is an ad-
vanced seminar in which students will
learn new programming trends, how to
program tor various minorities in the
student population and how to book
well-known speakers and entertainers.
Freshmen
Earn Merit
Aide Awards
Seven freshmen entering this semester
will receive Merit Aide Work
Scholarships from the physics depart-
ment, Dr. Rogers Redding of the physics
faculty said.
Merit Aide Scholars are Robert
Gardner, Corpus Christi; Timothy P.
Younts, Houston; Thomas DePeu, Os-
seo, Minn.; Lori Schroeder, Irving; Vet
Thorns, Midlothian; Patrick Wilde,
Decatur; and Susan Fetzer, San An-
tonio.
The purpose of the scholarship is to
enable the student to provide teaching
assistance in the physics department, Dr.
Redding said.
The students will be involved in
physics activities, such as assisting
teachers in grading laboratory instruc-
tions, working as cameramen in the
physics TV studio and helping with the
construction and creation of audio-
visual modules for instructional pur-
poses.
The scholarships are confined to one
year, and are not renewable, Dr. Red-
ding said.
The Merit Aide Work Scholarships
are funded by the physics department
and do not interfere with other
scholarships awarded to the students.
TAYLOR SAID the procedure will in-
clude a long plastic tube leading to a
catheter in the prisoner's arm. The
person administering the lethal injection
will start the deadly flow from the other
end of the tube-behind a locked door.
Before the chemical is injected, the
warden will ask the condemned man if
he has a last statement, according to
Taylor's announcement.
The procedures say that at the end of
the statement the warden will say "We
are ready" and the chemical will flow.
BATTIE, who has gained three stays
of his execution, was convicted of the
Jan. 13, 1976 killing of a Tarrant County
convenience store clerk.
"Since they say I have to be executed,
I'd rather go by injection," Battie said in
a recent interview. "Killing me by the
electric chair or by injection won't bring
him back alive. There's just no way that
could be justice."
The Oklahoma state legislature
recently joined Texas in establishing
death by injection as a method of execu-
tion, but no procedures or choice of
chemicals have been announced.
