In Student Government . . .
Planning Board Fills
Summer Session Gap
In years past, the U8NT ha* been in-
active during the summer months. Any
drafting of fall activities had to lie done
durinK the preceding spring semester
or else be poatponed until September.
Needless to say. this procedure left a
major gap in U8NT planning.
Last April the USNT attacked 'he
problem and formed the Summer Board
as an experimental solution.
Already the board seems to have
proved its worth. The 10 members of
the organization started early in the
summer to map out fall activities.
In June they completed plans for the
photo identification cards, set the date
of a football road trip and began work
on the USNT handbook and freshman
orientation assembly.
Soon the group began a study of
scholastic probation standards and ex-
amined methods to increase voter turn-
out at campus elections.
The Summer Hoard has no govern-
ing power, therefore all plans will be
subject to senate and administrative ap-
proval in the fall. The purpose of the
group is to plan for the future. And the
first six weeks have pointed out its
merits.
Many of the board members are not
senators or USNT officers. But they
are students who are interested in bet-
ter campus government and have vol-
unteered their time to work toward
this goal.
(Jranted, the planners' actions may
have not pleased everyone. Quite |*>s-
sibly the group has omitted certain
plans of immediate im|*irtance and has
spent too much time on trivial matters.
But for the first time, the USNT has
been kept alive during the summer. And
the senate will be in a far better posi-
tion for immediate action when it con-
venes in the fall.
A certain amount of time is required
each September for the USNT to re-
organize itself. And previously, much
of this time was spent awakening the
government after a three-month dor-
mancy. This fall the senate will have
at hand concrete proposals with which
to work. And even if some of these pro-
l osais are not acceptable, the senate will
nevertheless profit—by knowing what
steps not to take.
North Texans should commend the
Summer Hoard for its accomplishments
and look forward to its continuing
at the same pace during the next six-
week term.

To Preserve Friendship . . .
Ayub Emphasizes Need
For Continued U.S. Aid
A new type of demanding friendship
was demonstrated with the recent visit
of President Ayub Khan of Pakistan to
this country.
Addressing a joint session of (Con-
gress, he pleaded on one hand for "in-
vestment by private business" and on
the other for aid "in the realm of spiri-
tual and mora! courage."
He gave this nation little choice,
bluntly warning that "you had better
not get tired" of requests from coun-
tries that are attempting to push back
Communist infiltration. Hut he was
quick to assure tnat such aid would
lend strength to the United States as
well as to Pakistan.
"If we make good, you will get it
back in many forms," the visiting presi-
dent continued.
Then he added this warning: "We
are pressing against you today as
friends, but if we don't make the in'ade
and we fall under communism, then we
will be pressing against you again—but
not as friends."
President Ayub believes that if West-
ern aid isn't given his country, his |ieo-
ple will (all victims to the Communists
within 15 or 20 years.
Only 11 years have passed since his
nation gained its independence, and
Pakistan has a deep fear that India
plans to move in and take control. Thus
Ayub is resentful of aid which the
United States is giving to neutralist
India.
President Ayub's visit has opened
For Berlin . . .
JFK May Call Troops
The concern over the possibility of
war l>ecause of the crisis in Berlin is
certainly well-founded.
After six weeks of talking and draft-
ing b.v the Western Big Three (with
'minor" editing by the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization's permanent coun-
cil), Russia was finally notified early
this week that it must keep hands off
West Berlin. To make the statement
more firm, separate notes were deliv-
ered by France. (Jreat Britain and the
I nited States. The notes unanimously
rejected Khrushchev s plan to squeeze
the Allies out of Berlin by the end of
the year.
More fuel was added to the German
blaze when President Kennedy an-
nounced that he miirht declare a limited
national emergency and call up 1 mil-
lion Army Reserve and National Guard
troops to meet any Communist chal-
lenge in Berlin and strengthen that
city's defenses.
I hese troops would be badly needed

many eyes to a more realistic view of
our small allied nations. For one thiriK,
it has taught us that we no longer can
ex|>ect them always to agree with us.
Ayub said while here that his nation
would vote in favor of the admission of
Red China to the United Nations, a
move we have long opposed.
But as long as we have pledges of
support from such countries as Pakis-
tan, we seem to have no choice but to
support them in spite of such differ-
ences of opinion on some issues.
Although we do not want to unduly
aggravate India, we cannot afford to
ignore the few Asian countries such as
Pakistan which are ready, willing and
able to fight alongside us if the need
arises.
President Kennedy gave Ayub one
firm pledge of help. Kennedy ordered
an immediate study be made by the
Science Advisory Committee to see how
27 million acres of Pakistan's soil can
lie made suitable for agriculture by re-
moving damaging salt.
This seems to lie a step in the right
direction toward giving eur friends the
sort of permanent help they need. If
administered wisely, |>erhaps such aid
programs can even be kept within rea-
sonable dollar figures.
Hut:, as Ayub has warned us, we can
no longer assume that our friends will
always lie our friends. Apparently we
must lie willing to pay the price to re-
tain such support.

Profile passing * certain home near the
Golf Course late in the tlay are likely to see
a man in woik clothes busily working in a
large garden.
Some might be surprised to learn that this
"hired hand" is actually Dr. O. J. Curry, dean
of the School of Business Administration who
was instrumental in North Texas recently
gaining accreditation by the American Asso-
ciation of Collegiate Schools of Business..
Dean Curry, who likes to garden for re
taxation, has a three-quarter acre plot by his
house where he raises "practically everything
that will grow in this area." The deeply
tanned dean also enjoys fishing, but rarely
has time to go.
For the past 15 years, most of his time has
been spent guiding the growth of the School
of Business Administration, one of five new
school* created in 194<> when North Texas
reorganized on a university setup.
Since that time, the school has become one
of the largest in the state, but Dr. Curry mod-
estly attributes the phenomenal growth to a
number of factors other than his leadership.
'We have been especially fortunate in the
faculty we have been able to obtain," he said.
"We also had an unusually fine setting in
which to build a school of business. We have
approximately one-third of the people of
Texas living within 75 miles. And in 194(1
there was no other state-supported institution
that had a school of business administration.
We had a tremendous market for our services
here."
Dr. Curry said that one of the main prob-
lems is that even though it has been 15 years
since NTSC has been known as a teachers'
college, many people still do not realize that
It is anything more that a school of education.
Campus Echoes . . .
School Receives
TV Study Grant
A $1,600 Ford Foundation grant has been
received by the University of Texas for a
series of conferences on educational televi-
sion between the staff members and those of
the Monterrey, Mexico, Institute of Technolo-
gy mid Higher Studies.
The topic of discussion will be the introduc-
tion of educational TV at the institute and
the possibilities of an exchange of instruction
between the two schools.
The Summer Texan
The mental image has to be changi.-d so that
Dallas and Fort Worth will think of this as
a business area, he said.
Part of this problem should be resolved by
the recent admission of North Texas to the
American Association of Collegiate Schools
of Business. The purpose of the organization
is to promote higher standards of scholar-
ship and instruction. This national association
has only 98 member*, about one-third of the ac-
credited schools of business administration in
the nation.
Acceptance of tne NTSC School of Busi-
ness Administration in early May climaxed
several years of work toward that goal. Dr.
Curry said that all member schools are checked
annually to see that their qualifications main-
tain the association's standards.
Now that he has led the school to this na-
•ionul recognition. Dean Curry still "likes to
keep a hand in" by teaching a graduate course
each semester in business problems and trends.
Sometimes he also teaches an accounting
course, or one in business math. Occasionally
he conducts a reading course designed to ac-
quaint students with current literature in the
field of business administration.
The white-haired dean began his teaching
career as a high school coiwh in West Texas,
but later advanced to the position of principal.
Next he entered the oil industry and worked
several years before continuing his education
DR. O. J. CURRY look* for insects that could imperil his garden. Dean of the School
of Business Administration, he finds that gardening can bring many hours of relaxation.
News in Review . . .
Khrushchev Gets Western Ultimatum
it Russia tried to cut off Berlin from
the rest of West (Germany. The city is
1 Hi miles inside East Germany.
II Kennedy decides to call the troops
to active duty, it would be the most
positive move made by his administra-
tion, one which has thus far shown
some hesitency of action in world af-
fairs.
The move could mean severe censure
by many Americans, but the consensus
seems to be: "If we must fight for Ber-
lin, then we should do it."
Certainly the majority of the Ger-
man people is for such a move. Anxiety
is high on both sides as Kast German
refugees fleeing to West Germany have
reached numbers only exceeded by the
abortive Kast German uprising in 195,'L
A show df American determination
thai would call its men to active duty
could only lie greeted by general West-
ern applause — should Kennedy decide
to make it.

"Hands off West Berlin," the West-
ern Big Three told the Russians in an
ultimatum delivered to Premier Khru-
shchev Monday.
Six weeks of talks and drafting
brought the ultimatum from the United
States, France and Britain.
In effect, the message rejected Pre-
mier Khrushchev's plan to squeeze them
out of the divided city by signing a
Soviet-Kast German peace treaty.
(•rowing friction between Kast and Went
Cermany is forcing about 1,000 Kast Ger-
mans to seek political asylum daily in the
Western sector. Over the weekend, a record
4,000 Kast Germans migrated into the West.

I he next move on the nil-rich kingdom

Whatever happens, Britain has made it

Since World War II, five nations—
the United States, Russia, France. Brit-
ain and Japan—have built and launched
rockets. Last week Israel joined this
fearsome five as it drove its first rock-
et 50 miles into the atmosphere.
"The purpose of the test was fullv
achieved," said defense officials in Je-
rusalem. The flight was reported to be
for scientific purjioses, but considering
Israel's ever-growing tensions with the
United Arab Republic, one might deem
it a major psychological victory for de-
fense purposes.

chief.
Hoffa not only received support for all
past actions, but also was hacked in ap-
proval of a 112 million raise in Teamater

Russia and Red China are at differ-
ent stages in their march toward Marx-
ist goals, as has been evident in re-
cent ideological disagreements lietween
the two countries.
Last week Russia signed a defense
treaty with North Korea, a nation
which had hitherto seemed to be domi-
nated by Red China's propagandists.
Moscow also snubbed a celebration in
Peiping of the Chinese Communist par-
ty's 40th anniversary, while making
much of the 14th Congress of the Com-
munist party in Outer Mongolia.
The Soviet Trade Ministry appears to

port commitments to Russia last year.
China and liussia also have different
international interests. Itussia professes
concern about the spread of nuclear wea-
pons, hut at the same time, Ited China is
seeking greater atomic status.
Despite their differences, however,
these two nations must be considered
as fundamentally united. They have a
common enemy—the West. And the
military | otential of the Communist
bloc would be greatly weakened if the
two nations fell apart.

at the University of Michigan. After receiv-
ing hia doctoral degree, he taught there fm
three yearn.
He taught the next three years at the Uni
versity of Arkansas, and still believes that
some of the moat beautiful country in the
United States lies between Favetteville ami
Fort Smith.
When World War II came, Dr. Curry wus
teaching in the Wharton School of Business
and Commerce of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, the oldest collegiate school of business
in the United States. However, since tht
school was for men only, the war soon left
the school without any students. During this
time, the American Petroleum Institute ap-
proached Dr. Curry about doing cost ami
price research in relation to war industries.
With a leave of absence from the university,
he was engaged in research work the remain-
der of the war, working in Pennsylvania, New
York und Washington. Part of the time he
taught night clusgcs for Navy personnel, be-
fore finally coming to NTSC in the fall of
1044.
What about the future?
Dean Curry foresees expansion of the grad-
uate program in the School of Business Ad-
ministration and more workshops and insti-
tutes for people in business und industry in
this area. In addition, he said. "We will also
try to continue to do a lietter job of what we
are supposed to lie doing: educating young
men und women for productive jobs in society
and to be the business leaders of state and
nation in the years ahead."

So, without a moment's hesitation, she
swooped down on the unsuspecting boy in
charge of the table and cried, "Stamp it!"
"Pardon?" he murmured.
"Stamp it! Stamp it!"
Seeing his bewildered look, I said, "Show

My friend dipped into her purse, pulled out
her degree plan and tossed it triumphantly
onto the table.
"Stamp it!"
"But. . ."
"I've got to be stamped. Or else I can't

fidgeted.
"Stamp it! Stamp it!" she cried as I fin-

"But 1 can't stamp it. I. . ."
"You've got to," my friend insisted.
"Now just sit down and he calm," he re-

down nnd opened her mouth.
"When are you graduating?" the boy
asked hurriedly.
"Next June, but I can't if you don't stamp
it."
"Show hini your grades," I suggested from
the sidelines.
"Sc.-." My roommate pointed to the Eng-

"All you have to do is stamp it," my friend
interrupted with equal patience.
"Listen, you don't understand. I can't. . ."
"Why can't he just stamp it?" my friend
asked me.
"Well, all he has is a pencil," I pointed out.
"But I've got to be stamped!" my friend
wailed.
"Try the Registrar's Office," the boy ad-

"You're sure you can't stamp it?"
