Spring, and May especially,
brings a rush of activities for
students in the area.
Such activities as the trip
to the zoo Friday for the child-
ren in grades 1 through 3 and
the Junior - Senior Prom
Saturday keep things moving at
a fast pace for parents.
We’re Just not too sure that
we can survive the trip to the
zoo since we spent last Sunday
with the Mobley Mob at Six
Flags Over Texas. We walked
around from 1 p.m. until 8:30
p.m.'and that’s a lottawalking
for one who usually sits behind
a desk.

Now, at last, the House
Emm Committee can get
moving on a Job of work that
should have started years ago.
Melvin Price (D., 111.) It
be expected to move with
with courage, toward framing
a code of ethics to govern con-
gressional conduct, and to
propose ways for violations to
be Investigated and, if proven,
punished.
Because of his record on the
Armed Services and Joint Ato-
mic Energy committees,
Price gives promise of doing
a workmanlike job in his new
post.
He will understand that upon
him in large part will depend
whether the image of the
House, lately tarnished, will
brighten again.
11 the people in America
continue to elect and re-elect
people like Powell and Dodd,
then Congress will have to set
the rules for conduct and
maintain them.

Members of the Cedar Hill
Board o* Education and School
Superintendent Paul Brooks
attended the public hearing
held Monday by the city on a
zoning request for a radio
tower near the KTVT tower
and one near the Hill Tower.
A spokesman for the board
stated that they were very
much in favor of the zoning
change that would enable the
towers to be built here.
After the hearing, the board
went to the high school for
their regular meeting.
Committees were named for
the year at this meeting.
The committees are: Fin-
ance Committee, E, E. Bray,
and Bob Ammons; Building
and Grounds Committee, W.C.
Knight and J. W. Copeland;
Lunchroom Committee, C. R.
James and Ben Golden; and
Public Relations Committee,
C. R. James and Bob Am-
mons.
The board heard a report
on the Regional Education
Media Center and appointed
Brooks to serve as the
school’s representative to the
group that would provide films
and other material for the

Pre Registration
Northwood Institute of
Texas, Cedar Hill, will inau-
gurate a program of pre-re-
gistration for students enrol-
ling in next fall’s term, Dr.
Clarence Schauer, provost,
announced Monday.
The plan will enable the
school to more accurately
forecast the number of stu-
dents expected for its second
year of operation and plan
housing arrangements and
course schedules to fit the
demand.
According to Schauer, “The
number of students who’ve
already confirmed they will
be attending Northwood next
fall puts us well ahead of our
present enrollment, and we
know of many others who are
coming but who haven’t yet re-
served their place. This plan
will help not only the school,
but the student, too, assuring
him of adequate class avail-
ability, a room in the new
housing complex now under
construction, and an adequate
supply of books and other
important items.”
Coupled with the school’s
standing plan of pre-enrol-
ling incoming freshmen in the
spring and summer, the new
arrangement will allow the
school to determine at any
given moment, how many stu-
dents will be enrolled, and
how many freshmen have thus
far pre-enrolled. Pre-regis-
tration for returning students
has been set for May 9.
Campus housing will be
available to Northwood of
Texas students this fall for the
first time. Clearing of land
for the construction of apart-
ment-type housing has been
completed and a formal
groundbreaking ceremony was
held Wednesday morning.
A $250,000 project, the new
facility is to be completed by
September 1, well ahead of the
late September opening of the
1967-68 term. Approximately
96 students ^111 be housed
there when school begins. The
remainder of the student body
will be commuting students
from the metropolitan area.

Greater Dallas South
Discusses Sewage Plan
A central sewage plan, area
lake possibilities and an area
brochure were items included
for consideration at Greater
Dallas South's regular month-
ly meeting conducted April 20
in Ferris.
It was reported that it ap-
pears that all of the partici-
pating cities in the Ten Mile
Creek Central Sewage Dis-
posal Plan have signed or will
sign contracts with Tit A.
“GDS takes special pride
in this, and is happy to have
had a part in this through
bringing the cities together
for discussion of this joint
effort, securing information
on various ways to accomplish
it and encouraging continued
negotiation culminating in an
acceptable agreement,” said
president Jonathan Allen.
Looking forward to the
future growth of the Greater
Dallas South area, GDS has
been concerned not only with
sewage disposal problems, but
also with water supply. Homer
Hunter, engineer, presented
report on the feasibility of
construction of a dam and
water storage facility near
where Bear Creek, Red Oak
Creek, and Grove Creek con-
verge.
Though Hunter did not have
all of the detailed information
necessary for a firm opinion,
he said that there were 217
square miles of drainage area
within the water shed of these
creeks and that he thinks a
facility with a conservation
storage capacity of 90,000
acre feet of water with a
daily yield of 15 to 20 million
gallons would possibly be fea-
sible. This, along with capa-
city of existing wells in the
area, should serve the needs
of 152,000 population which
the area is predicted to have
by 1990.
Additional studies are to be
made and GDS will continue to
pursue this and, if it should
prove not feasible, some other
effort to assure adequate
