National Polls
Plurality Favors
To Indict Nixon
WASHINGTON (AP) Forty-four members of the House of Rep-
resentatives said Monday they favored or at least would consider instituting
impeachment proceedings against President Nixon. Most of the congress-
men were Democrats.
Seventeen House members said they were undecided on the matter and 12
said they opposed impeachment.
Of the 44 members favoring or considering impeachment, 38 were Dem-
ocrats and six were Republicans.
The figures were the result of a sampling of the sentiment of House mem-
bers following Nixon’s weekend firing of special Watergate prosecutor
Archibald Cox.
NEW YORK (AP) A thin plurality of 44 per cent of Americans ques-
tioned since Saturday night in a scientific poll say they favor impeaching
President Nixon, NBC News reported Monday night.
NBC said the poll, conducted for the network by the Oliver Quayle or-
ganization, showed 43 per cent of nearly 1,000 persons contacted opposed
impeachment, and 13 per cent were undecided.
The poll was initiated after Nixon fired special Watergate prosecutor
Archibald Cox. It showed 75 per cent of those questioned were opposed to
that action, the network said.
It said 16 per cent agreed with the firing of Cox, and 9 per cent were un-
decided.
NBC said that 48 per cent of those questioned since Saturday night be-
lieve Nixon should step aside “and let someone else run the country,” while
43 per cent said he should not resign and 9 per cent were undecided.
In addition to the firing of Cox, Nixon accepted the resignation of Atty.
Gen. Elliot L. Richardson and dismissed Deputy Atty. Gen. William D.
Ruckelshaus.
The network said the percentage of persons favoring impeachment had
nearly doubled since Aug. 12, when an earlier poll showed 23 per cent fa-
vored impeachment, 68 per cent against and 9 per cent undecided.
The poll said only 22 per cent of those contacted gave Nixon a favorable
rating on his job performance, with 75 per cent rating it unfavorable and 3
per cent undecided. A Gallup poll taken before last weekend's actions
showed 30 per cent of Americans gave favorable ratings to Nixon’s perform-
ance.
NBC said the Quayle poll asked the persons it reached whether they be-
lieved Nixon was acting in a dictatorial manner, and it said 58 per cent re-
sponded yes, 36 per cent no and 6 per cent were undecided.
The poll also stated that only 9 per cent of those reached said they trusted
Nixon wholeheartedly, while 44 per cent said they do not trust him at all.

Mail Director
Defines Rates
On Services
Posting letters to be delivered within a
600-mile radius of Denton and paying air-
mail rates to insure faster delivery is a
waste of three cents, according to John
Truitt, director of mail service for NTSU
Truitt said that the same delivery sched-
ule applies for both first class and airmail
letters if they are posted by 4:30 p m and if
their destination is within a 600-mile radius
of the place of posting. He added that most
people are unaware of this and it is costing
them money.
Truitt also said that nationwide delivery
of first class mail is now promised within
three days, a one-day delay compared to
airmail service.
Postmaster Clifton Shaw said that the
first class delivery schedule was being met
in Denton on about ”95 per cent of the
mail.”
Truitt said that ZIP coding of mail was
very important and it becomes even more
so "when mailing over long distances and to
big cities.” He said that if there is no ZIP
Code on the mail, “it will slow delivery
down by at least one day.” He added that
“the ZIP Code is the only thing we have as
individuals to expedite the mail.”
Concerning the Christmas season “mail
early schedule,” Truitt said that all surface
mail must be posted by Dec. 15 and airmail
by Dec. 21 if it is to be received before
Christmas.
TSA Hosts Aides
AUSTIN (AP) The Texas Stu-
dent Association (TSA) announced
Monday that 10 college students
will be selected in statewide compe-
tition to work during the Constitu-
tional Convention next year, and they
will receive college academic credit
for the work.
The association will pay the cost
of room, board, tuition and fees at
UT-Austin. The university credit
may be transferred back to the stu-
dents' own colleges.
SAU Hotline Announces Events
Callers Receive Organizations’ Daily Plans
Information on campus events may be
obtained by calling the Student Activities
Union (SAU) Hotline.
By dialing 788-2422 at any time, day or
night, the caller will be connected with a
two-minute recorded message detailing the
day’s events, according to the originator
of the Hotline, David Johnson SAU Enter-
tainment Committee member.
THE SAU Publicity Committee is in
charge of determining what events will be
covered by the Hotline. SAU events, ath-
letics, Fine Arts Series, and happenings
in the academic departments have been
deemed worthwhile, Johnson said.
However, changes will be made accord-
ing to the demands of the callers, he said.
When someone calls the Hotline, a re-
corded message is automatically turned
on, Johnson explained. If the caller does
not listen to the entire tape, a device auto-
matically rewinds the tape. This insures
that each caller can listen to the entire
tape, Johnson said
RESPONSE TO the Hotline has been
favorable even though there has been little
advertisement. Johnson estimated that ap-
proximately 20 calls per day have been
eceived. He anticipates an even better
esponse as students become aware of the
otline.
“The Hotline will better advertise the
events of the SAU and other organiza-
tions," Mary Yates, director of SAU said
“Most people don’t stop to read the signs
on campus. By having a Hotline, the stu-
dent doesn’t have to leave his home to find
out what’s going on,” she added.
Johnson initially got the idea for a hotline
when he attended the National Entertain-
ment Convention held in Illinois in June.
Several schools have used similar hot-
lines. Their reports of the success of the
hotlines were favorable with the schools,
Johnson said.
JOHNSON INVESTIGATED the idea
of establishing a hotline when he returned
to Fort Worth.

Planners Seek Citizens’ Advice
On City Improvement Program
He said that there was trouble in renting
the necessary equipment. “We decided to
rent the equipment on a temporary basis,”
he said.
However, when the agreement was finally
reached with General Telephone, there were
still problems because the company brought
the wrong machine out to install.
SAU then discovered that General Tele-
phone did not have the right machine, and
one had to be ordered from their supplier,
Johnson said. This delayed the Hotline.
“If it is a success, then we’ll investigate
buying it,” Miss Yates said. “I’m very
optimistic about it. I’m sure that the stu-
dents will realize just how convenient it can
be,” she added.
Denton citizens will have an opportunity
to give the Department of Community
Development advice on a new comprehen-
sive plan for city improvements.
The first advising session will be held
Thursday at the Holiday Inn for citizens
living in the Southridge area of Denton. A
series of six neighborhood meetings have
been scheduled for November.
All of the meetings will be held at 7:30
p.m.
The Department of Community Develop-
ment has reported that the old plan for
Denton is being revised with an emphasis
on transportation, drainage and regulation
of flood plains, and increasing the amount
of developed parks and open space.
Schedules and locations for the other
meetings are as follows:
Nov. I, Southeast Denton, the American
Legion Building.
Nov. 7, the McKinney Street area, Jeffer-
son Davis Elementary School.
Nov. 8, Northeast Denton area at W'ood-
row Wilson Elementary School.
Nov. 13, Northwest Denton area, J.
Newton Rayzor Elementary School.
Nov. 14, NTSU area, Sam Houston Ele-
mentary School.
Nov. 15, Southwest Denton area, Frank
