Flea Market Starts Homecomin
Preparations Continue for Parade, Luncheons and Concert
By JULIE KEARNEY
Daily Reporter
Although two of the 10 groups which
originally planned to participate in the
Spanish-Mexican Flea Market-Carnival
have canceled, the event will kick off Home-
coming activities today as scheduled, ac-
cording to Ron Blatchley, director of stu-
dent activities, “and we will have a ball.”
The flea market, from 3 to 8 p.m. in the
third floor Ballroom of the Union Build-
ing (UB), will launch three days of Home-
coming celebration.
EIGHT CARNIVAL-TYPE booths
will be featured.
Delta Zeta sorority, which planned a
bodv painting booth that probably would
have drawn the most interest, withdrew
their application “because we thought we
wouldn't make any money," Elaine Pickett,
Silsbee senior and sorority president, said.
She indicated the sorority expected little
attendance at the carnival.
Delta Gamma sorority also withdrew
their bean bag booth because the bean bags
could not be made in time.
the withdrawals “because we were count-
ing on them to participate.” He added,
“We’ll have the carnival even if there is
only one booth, and we will have a ball
doing it.”
THOSE WHO feel they have gotten a
raw deal from the university will have a
chance to unleash these hostilities when
17 members of the Dean of Students Of-
fice and various other offices become tar-
gets for a pie-throwing booth during the
fleamarket.
Among those who will take 30-minute
turns as targets are Dr. Mervyn Stelter,
housing director; Jack Wheeler, vice-presi-
dent for student affairs; Lindsay Keffer,
assistant to Wheeler, Roy Busby, director
of the Public Information Office; Mrs.
Barbara Junhjohan, assistant dean of stu-
dents: and Mrs. Ruth Blatchley, secretary
to the dean of students.
Mrs. Blatchley said, "We didn’t have
to con anyone at all. They all volunteered
readily to serve their time.”
FUNDS FROM the pie throw will go to
the Student Emergency Loan Fund admin-
istered by the Dean’s Office. It helps about
30 persons a year in emergency situations
with loans from $1 up to $100, Mrs. Blatch-
Blatchlev expressed disappointment at ley said.
“Of course we are not advertising what
time everyone will be up,” she said. “Wc
have to give some protection like that to
the ones who will be targets Students will
have to take their chance on when their
target will be up

groups. McConnell Hall and the Fashion
Design Organization will each sell caps,
shirts, dresses and macramed and crocheted

German Students, and popcorn balls and

Editor Explains Role
Of Campus Paper
By 1 IN DA EDWARDS
Daily Reporter
Kerry Gunnels, editor of the North Texas
Daily, spoke to a group of 35 at Wednes-
day’s High Noon Seminar in the Bits 'n
Pieces Lounge.
Introduced by Kathy Truesdell of the
Student Activities Union (SAU) Forum
Committee, Gunnels began with a general
explanation of the Daily's operations.
(.1 NNFLS SAID the Daily's annual
$80,UK) budget covers printing costs and
salaries. The budget is handled by Roy
Bushv, director of public information and
publications, who works with the journa-
lism staff and chairman. He stated that the
Daily could not survive without advertising.
Most of the news is written by the sopho-
more reporting class as part ol their lab
assignments. Gunnels said. He explained
the various jobs of staff members and the
methods for choosing the editor of the
Daily
RESPONDING TO a charge that the
Daily gives inadequate coverage to minority
groups, Gunnels said he was aware of the
responsioi111y to icjm/ii ,iicm adequately'.
He stressed the constant fight to decide
what should be printed from stacks of copy.
“We have to use our own judgment about
news value on a particular day. Sometimes
we make mistakes, and an article that
should be printed gets preempted by one
that could wait.”
Wire stories are included in the Daily be-
cause “the Daily is the only newspaper for
a large segment of the campus population,
especially dorm students. We try to give
them a flavor of what’s going on in the out-
side world without making campus news
suffer,” Gunnels explained.
ACCORDING TO Gunnels, student
reporters are not equipped for muckraking
“It’s very hard to get enough factual infor-
mation for a story on something like an
administrative scandal. We don’t have
enough experience, and sometimes we can’t
get the facts,” he said.
W hen asked if the Daily was verging on a
campaign to abolish football. Gunnels re-
plied there was no real campaign, but that
he and some other staff members agreed
football should be de-emphasized.
CONCERNING THE Daily’s editorial
policy. Gunnels said that editorials reflect
opinions of individual writers and not his
own or those of the staff. The editors could
comment on any subject thev chose.
"Feedback is a device by which our read-
ers can write us agreeing or disagreeing
with what we print," Gunnels continued.
“It serves as a reader’s forum."
Students Show Surprise
At Outcome of Election^

GUNNELS
By DANM PRIC E
Daily Reporter
Surprise was the dominant reaction of
students toward the national and state
elections held Tuesday.
The reaction was expressed toward the
si/e of Nixon’s victory and the near defeat
" of Democrat Dolph Briscoe by Republi-
can Henry Grover in a random canvas of
students on the North Texas campus
Wednesday.
Larry Silverman, Dallas sophomore,
said, “1 think the American people closed
their eyes. A candidate such as George
McGovern was too progressive for the
backward ideas of this country. I think
it was political in that the man with the
most money won It is about time the
American people opened their eyes to the
corruption which is occuring in our govern-
ment.
EDWARD MARSHALL, Baltimore.
Md., junior, said, “To me, the election
seemed more important, because for the
first time, I was able to vote. I tell bait
about McGovern losing, but I had been
following the polls and expected a NiXOP,
landslide. 1 think there were too many
blacks who failed to vote, and missed
an opportunity.”

tar\ education major, said

Presidents Council To Recommend Dorm Outcome
The Housing Office is still considering closing one or two dorms in the
spring semester due to financial problems.
I he dorms under consideration arc McConnell, Ciuinlcy and Bruce Halls.
Dr Mervyn Stelter. director of housing, has presented mlormation to the

ter will then give this recommendation to President C. C Nolen and the three
universits vice-presidents. I he final decision will be made by the president and
the three vice-presidents.
Daily Makes Error in Kerr Hall Curfew Story
Kerr Hall has opened its lobby on a 24 hour basis to all students, according
to Mrs. Beverly Smith, Kerr West dorm director.
T he Daily erroneously reported in the T hursday edition that everyone except
first semester freshman women were allowed to have guests. First semester
freshman women may have guests alter curfew provided that they check with
their RA, said Mrs. SmitTt.
The Kerr Hall Association guidelines for the 24 hour open lobby provide
that all men have to leave and enter the main lobby through the men’s main
side door and enter and exit the men's side of the building through the two
side doors.
Entering and leaving through the back door of the lobby will be restricted
to the women

T he tours will be conducted today through F riday at 2 p.nt in Room 438
Any student who wants to know more about the Library is welcome to go
on the tour, John Brewster, central services librarian, said
Chris Ninness, Pittsburgh, Pa., graduate
student, emphasized that the majority ol
the people working for McGovern weren't
disillusioned that McGovern would win.
but they had hope
“There is the distinct possibility that
we made an impression on the public.”
she said "Two or three years ago, such
a progressive man wouldn’t have gotten on
the ballot, . The extent of McGovern’s sup-
port gives us hope for the future. I am sur-
prised at Grover’s support. It is ironic that
Briscoe's self-righteous attitude toward
.ampaigning has almost proven his down-
tall. Tower is a Neanderthal politically,
and a disgrace to the state and the nation.
(LARA FISHER, Pilot Point freshman,
said: “The gubernatorial race was most
surprising because of the number of votes
for the Republicans. I feel the people are
voting for the man rather than the ticket.
This is the reason people voted for Grover.”
Nathaniel Moses, Lake Jackson fresh-
man, reflected: "I am surprised that
McGovern was able to carry any state at
all I chose Grover over Briscoe who seems
to be pro-W allace.”
Wvncite Sch.w :;!rr>. IVnton graduate
student, stated, “iwasn’t surprised at the
outcome of the election, but I was surprised
at the voter turnout I was glad to see the
closeness of the governor's race. It indicates
there is a two-party svstem in Texas after
all ”

Indians 'Too Radaca
By BILL BIGGS
Daily Reporter
Recent actions by the Trail of Broken
Treaties, a militant group of American In-
dians, were “too radical," in the opinion of
Susan Elder, Dallas freshman and a Choc-
taw Indian.
The Trail of Broken Treaties look forc-
ible control of the Washington, DC, of-
fice of the Bureau of Indian Affairs on Nov
2 in an attempt to draw public attention to
the plight of the American Indian and to
present certain demands to the bureau, ac
cording to the United Press International
"1HF. INDIANS have been ignored in
the past,” Miss Elder said, “hut their point
must be gotten across to the American
people."
Miss Elder leels that the Trail of Broken
Treaties is taking the wrong approach in
trying to help the American Indian. "I feel
they are justified in trying to help the In-
dian, hut I wouldn’t be so radical," she
said
"The Trail of Broken Treaties is too
militant," according to Miss Elder. ”1
think more passive measures would prove
to be more effective in helping the Ann
can Indian achieve his goals."

Indians," she said
