Dean Horvat
Tells Plans
For Change
Dr. John J. Horvat, the new dean of the
College of Education, said Thursday he
hopes “one of the things he brings to North
Texas is an unbiased, unjaundiced view."
Dean Horvat, who assumed duty Aug. I,
spoke briefly and answered questions from
students in a forum sponsored by the Stu-
dent Education Association (SEA).
IN OUTLINING some of the college’s
problems, Dean Horvat said, “The most
obvious problem area is in the realm of
student services.” By “student services,"
the dean said he meant services such as
couseling, guidance and degree plan formu-
lation and advice.
“There is too much of the run-around in
this college,” he said. “As soon as possi-
ble I plan to put together a student ser-
vices office. One place for all this informa-
tion.”
Dean Horvat said he hoped to begin
working on the office by next semester and
have it “fully implemented" by next fall.
To help ease the run-around problem in
the meantime, Dean Horvat said he had
directed all offices in the college with more
than one secretary to remain open during
the lunch hour.
In the area of the curriculum, Dean Hor-
vat said he had several goals. First, he said
he plans to “work with students and faculty
to eliminate redundacies and overlap of
ANOTHER OK his goals is to use dif-
ferent teaching methods for some courses.
“There arc more ways to teach than lectur-
ing,” he said. Possibilities include simu-
lations, field and clinical experiences, self-
instructional programs and “other multi-
media programs," he said.
A third goal is to make the curriculum
“more rigorous and challenging,” he said.
“I have the feeling many students aren’t be-
ing pushed hard enough.”
Dean Horvat said a recent survey of Col-
lege of Education graduates revealed that a
"significant number” did not feel they had
been challenged by the college's require-
ments. “I hope two years from now there
won’t be students getting degrees that be-
lieve they weren’t challenged enough," he
said.
ANOTHER OE Dean Horvat’s goals
is the creation of a day care center to help
the mothers of small children continue their
educations.
He said the administration always wants
to up the enrollment and “one way to help
increase enrollment is to make it easier to
go to class. A day care center would cer-
tainly do this.”
Fourteen Vie Monday
For Six SGA Positions
Education Dean
Dr John J Horvat, dean of the College of Education, spoke briefly and
then answered questions from students Thursday morning in a forum spon-
sored by the Student Education Association. Dean Horvat joined the univer-
sity Aug. 1 after serving as an associate dean at Indiana University.
Elections for dorm representatives to the
Student Government Association (SGA)
assembly begin Monday with 14 candidates
vying for the six positions, according to
Quincy Ollison, SGA rules and election
chairman.
Only students who live in dorms are al-
lowed to vote for dorm representatives,
Ollison said. The elections will be held
Monday from 9 a.m. to noon at Kerr Hall
and from I to 4 p.m. at Clark Hall.
DORM representative elections will
continue through Tuesday with voting
tables set up at West Hall from 9 a.m.
to noon and at Bruce Hall from I p.m.
to 4 p.m.
Students must present their IDs to vote
in the elections, Ollison said. As of now,
SGA has no means of checking to see
whether those students voting in the dorm
election are actual dorm residents, he add-
ed. “We’re looking at the possibility of get-
ting a printed list from Dr. Stelter (Dr.
Mervyn Stelter, director of housing) of
dorm residents,” Ollison said.
However, if this list is unavailable, Ol-
lison said SGA’s only recourse is to mark
out students' names on an IBM printout
sheet listing all enrolled students when
the students vote. “The main point is that
each person will be allowed to vote only
once," Ollison said.
EACH STUDENT will be allowed to
vote for only one candidate, Ollison said.
The six candidates receiveing the most votes
will be elected.
Those students who are running for SGA
Center Runs Low on Cash
Recycling Group Needs Money, Publicity
Though extremely short of funds and in
the midst of a controversy over a proposed
land site, the Denton Recycling Center
organization is optimistic about the com-
ing year, according to John Barnes, presi-
dent of the group.
Members of the organization will meet
Monday at 8 p.m. in the Community Room
of Denton County National Bank.
“We put out collection cans around town
this summer and though we didn’t collect
a lot, it at least shows people are responding
to the need for a recycling center,” Barnes
said. “Once our publicity gets going this
fall I expect more money to come in.”
The center, a nonprofit organiza-
tion, sells adult memberships for $1 per

Nixon 'Quite Likely' To Attend Airport Dedication
WASHINGTON (AP) White House sources indicated Thursday it was
"quite likely” that President Nixon would attend the dedication ceremonies
of the huge new Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport on Sept. 22.
Free Weight Control Group Sign Up Ends Today
Registration ends today for the Counseling and Testing Center's free
weight-control groups. The groups are open to students, staff and faculty
members
Those interested may contact the center in Terrill Hall 225A or by calling
788-2207 or 788-2177.
Texas Public Employes Will Install New Officers
New officers of the North Texas chapter of the Texas Public Employes
Association (TPEA) will be installed at the chapter meeting Tuesday at 7:30
p.m. in the Community Room of Denton County National Bank.
The new officers are President Stanley Sawyer, Vice-President Robert
Ratliff and Secretary-Treasurer Nadine Jones. Newly elected members of the
Board of Directors are Roger Dunham, Louise Riney and George Watkins.
TPEA is a statewide organization for all public employes of the state. Mem-
bership in the North Texas chapter is open to all employes of the university.
Membership applications will be available at the meeting.
Campus Organizations Must Register by Today
All campus organizations must be registered with the university by 5 p.m.
today, according to Miss Sue Hodges of the Student Organizations Office.
The registration forms should be taken to Room 125 of Crumley Hall, she
said.
Organization representatives who did not receive a registation form in the
mail may pick one up in that office. Organizations that fail to register must
go through the entire university recognition procedure to be reinstated, she
said.
Four Juniors Earn Air Force Scholarships
Four juniors have been awarded Air Force ROTC scholarships, according
to information officer Dutch Krebshach. The recipients are David D. Dewey
of Fort Worth, Michael D. McClung of Duncanville, David W. Pelzel of Pilot
Point and Paul E. Tibbetts of Denton.
The two-year scholarships pay for tuition, lab fees and books. The scholar-
ships are awarded on the basis of performance at a six-week summer training
camp, overall grade point average and the Air Force Qualification Test scores.
Noncredit Study-Skills Course To Start Tuesday
A noncredit course. Effective Study, will begin Tuesday and continue
through Dec. 4 from 2 to 3:20 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday.
Registration for the course, which is offered by the Counseling and Test-
ing Center, will continue until the first class meeting. Registration is at the
center in Terrill Hall 225A from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
year and child memberships for 50 cents
per year. There are alos three contribut-
ing memberships: $5 supporting member-
ship, $25 patron membership and $100 life
membership.
The memberships will eventually entitle
people to bring their sorted trash to the
center for recycling.
The main problem is where to put the
center, according to Barnes. North Texas
offered the center a choice of two plots
of land this summer for placement of a
temporary recycling plant. The organiza-
tion chose a site on Maple Street between
Bernard and Welch.
Area residents, however, claim location
of the center there will cause their land
University
Gets Grants
From HEW
Ten research and education grants total-
ing $541,745 were received by the univer-
sity during June, July and August, accord-
ing to reports released by Dr. Robert C.
Sherman, director of research and academ-
ic grants.
"We are very pleased to receive these
grants,” Dr. Robert B Toulouse, dean
of the graduate school said, “because this
is a period in which grants are difficult
to come by. We have enjoyed some success
and we are looking forward to even better
support from outside agencies'
The Department of Health, Education
and Welfare (HEW) granted $433,266
for use by the School of Community Ser-
vices. The funds will be used for short-
term nutrition training and for long-term
training for careers in aging.
HEW also awarded $85,184 to the Cen-
ter for Social and Rehabilitation Service
as a teaching and training grant for faculty
administrations.
Dr. Lewis M. Abernathy, director of the
Manpower and Industrial Relations Insti-
tute, was given a $47,663 grant by the Texas
Education Agency to continue development
of a statew ide career education system
A $28,333 grant from the state’s Crimi-
nal Justice Council will be used for the
continuation of basic and applied research
on the aged victims of crimes. And $27,393
from the Environmental Protection Agen-
cy will allow the department of biological
sciences to conduct training in water and
pollution control.
The College of Business Administration
received a $15,808 grant from Sears, Roe-
buck and Co. for consumer credit research
Other lesser funds were also received
by the university. The Musicological Soci-
ety gave the School of Music two grants
totaling $2,500 and a $1,628 travel grant
was given to the physics department by the
National Academy of Science.
to go down in value. The residents want the
city of Denton to donate land to the center
not in a residential area. According to the
city, there is not enough public demand
for it.
Protests from the residents have failed
to affect the land offer made by North
Texas. There has been no talk among ad-
ministrators about withdrawing the dona-
tion made to the organization, according
to Dr. James L. Rogers, director of the
Office of Instructional Analysis and Plan-
ning and the university’s liason with the
recycling organization.
Meanwhile Denton civic groups
are getting involved. The High Noon Lions
Club will conduct a trash drive in October
“More and more Denton groups are becom-
ing active participants,” Barnes said. “Den-
ton has the opportunity to be a real pace-
setter.”
The proposed site will be completely en-
closed. Inside the fence will be 55-gallon
drums to hold the separated and clean
trash. The center will only be accepting
bi-metal products, glass and paper
“Later, we hope to pick up computer
cards from the university, as they pull the
highest price for paper on the market,"
Barnes said.

Mini-Courses Earn
Maximum Response
By RON GASTON
Special W riter
Last year the Center for Community
Services of the School of Community Ser-
vices initiated something new to North
Texas in the form of community-minded,
noncredit mini-courses.
The mini-courses program was primarily
begun to serve two purposes: create com-
munity interest in the university itself and
to provide, as a community service, a broad
range of courses designed to allow mem-
bers of the community, regardless of edu-
cational background, an opportunity to
take courses of interest to them.
IN ITS first year the community’s re-
sponse to the mini-courses was overwhelm-
ing, according to Mrs. Betty Boyd, coordi-
nator of the program.
Mrs. Elinor Hughes, this year's coordi-
nator, has expanded the program and added
many new courses. Mrs Hughes comment-
ed that enrollment was going "extremely
well."
The mini-courses program offers 29 dif-
ferent subjects this year ranging from art
appreciation to vocabulary building The
courses range in price from $10 to $30
for from four-to seven-week courses
The courses to be offered this year are:
History of Denton County, Action Course
in Practical Politics, Communication and
Human Interaction, Nutrition, Practical
Planning for Home Decorators, Current
Topics in Economics, Psychology of
Parenthood, Psychology of Aging, Child
Development, Introduction to Spanish,
German Language and Culture and Rapid
Reading.
ALSO BEING offered are Basic Con-
versational French, Vocabulary Building
Through Greek and Latin, Art Apprecia-
tion: The Art Of Looking, NonLoom Fiber
Techniques: A Creative Approach, Begin-
ning Acrylics, Advanced Acrylics, Begin-
ning Photography for the Amateur, Ad-
vanced Photography for the Amateur, In-
troducation To Guitar, Music Literature,
Personal And Famih Finance, Stocks
and Bonds For The Beginner, Finishing
And Refinishing Wood Surfaces, Auto-
motive Maintenance and Diagnosis, Golf
for Beginners, Folk Dance, and Physical
Fitness Through Dance.
WHEN ASKED about the expenses of
the program Mrs. Hughes stated that there
was not a good margin of profit. "Most
of the money paid in goes for administra-
tion purposes," she said. “The course in-
structors are paid on an hourly basis."
Anyone interested in the mini-courses
program may pick up a registration form
at the Center for Community Services lo-
cated on the second floor of Oak Street
Hall. The form includes a complete listing
of course offerings and a brief description
of each.
Mrs. Hughes advises interested parties
that "we will probably run out of spaces
in some courses before we run out of would-
be registrants." Registration will be com-
pleted on a first-come first-serve basis up
to and including Monday
Mrs. Hughes also advises registrants of
several policies concerning their registra-
tion.
Enrollments are accepted in the order
received as long as there is space in the
class.
No one may register at the door of a
class, and no one may attend who is not
registered.
Should the school cancel a class, all
tuition will be refunded; otherwise, tuition
will not be refunded
