UTers Ask Control

student body of the University, spoke in 
favor of decontroling October 6, the date 
set by the state legislature.

“ Waiting until then will give returning 
students an opportunity to bargain with 
their landlords,” he said. He pointed out 
that the percentage of veterans whose GI 
bills have run out is getting higher, leaving 
them financially unable to meet the higher 
rents that may be asked by landlords after 
decontrol.

Ann Castleberry, University student and 
member of the Young Progressives, submit­
ted a petition signed by 200 students who 
were against decontrol. She said that three 
of the names were those of landlords.

Mayor Taylor Glass asked her when she 
would be willing to have rents decontroll­
ed. She answered, ‘To avoid excesses, I 
believe that rents should be under control 
indefinitely.”

By M A R I E D A U P L A I S E

Tenants and landlords locked horns at 
Tuesday night’s open hearing on rent de­
control, and at hearing’s end, it looked like 
decontrol will become effective after Sep­
tember 6.

This date was set tentatively on the re­
commendation of an Austin Real Estate 
Board representative who asked that con­
trols be off when students returned to the 
University in the fall.

Landloards were better represented than 
tenants in the packed council room. When 
arguments against decontrol were offered, 
loud boos and cries of “bondage” “com­
munism,” and “ we want justice,” filled the 
room.

Atter several University students had 
protested decontrol, one Austin landlord 
took the floor to call their statements “ad­
mirable little essays” and said they should 
get an “A plus” in government.

“But,” he added, “I question their matur­

ity and judgm ent.”

A housemother, Mrs. John Williams, told 
the council that controls should be taken 
o ff immediately in view of the fact that 
landlords had already had several years to 
“cool off.”

Marlin Thompson, vice-president of the

Sporting Millions
Spend $3 Billion

BY EDDIE WEEMS
T e x a n S p o r t s S t a f f
There’s plenty of money 
in 
sports if you are on the receiving 
end, according 
in 
Frank G. Menke’s “The New En­
cyclopedia of S p o rts/’

to estimates 

Menke guessees that in 1946, 
when his book was revised, $3 bil­
lion went to manufacturers and 
retailers of sports goods, promo­
ters of athletic contests, and oth­
ers who w’ere on the credit side 
of the ledger in the big business 
of sports in America
The 12,000,000 

in 
the country, Menke says, spent 
the most of any sports group— 
$ 800,000,000— while hunters and 
bowlers unpocketed $ 4 5 0 ,000,000 
each.

fishermen 

Golfers blew’ $ 400 ,000,000 on 
equipment; motor boat enthusi­
asts $ 3 0 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ; skiers $ 100,- 
sports 
spectators 
000,000, and 
tickets. The 
$ 400, 000,000 
for 
other $100,000,000 
is lost under 
a “miscellaneous” classification.

Horse racing, supposed to be 
the costliest of all sports, doesn’t 
come close to fishing. You could 
buy all the race tracks and horses 
in the United States for $126,- 
0 0 0 ,0 0 0 .

All major 

league parks and 
players could be acquired, Menke 
estimates, for $ 20 ,00 0 ,000. But it 
would take $6 billion to buy all 
the motor boats.

More money— $ 67,000,000— is 
spent on football than any other

 Always a Finalist, But Never a Champion

BY ABE WEINER
r«Mm S p o rts E d ito r^
That “ ole finals nemesis” crop­
ped up again last Sunday and de­
livered a mortal blow for the fifth 
to Longhorn 
time 
golfer Morris Williams, Jr.

this season 

Williams, after battling his way 
into 
the NCAA finals, dropped 
the big match to Harvic War ! of

five and 

four 
North Carolina, 
(which means he was five holes 
behind Aith only four holes left
to play).

Since winning 

the Massingill 
Trophy, 
the cup emblematic of 
being the University’s number one 
golfer, Williams has been edged 
four times. He might well be on

his way to becoming Texas’s “hard 
luck” golfer of all time.

He took the Massingill Trophy
by shooting four splendid rounds, 
finishing with a 270 total which 
was twelve-under-par. But then 
he lost by five strokes to team­
mate Bob Watson in Southwest 
individual play, and
Conference 

the aeries of “finalsitis” began 
for the lean little junior.

After losing out in the Del Rio 
finals, he worked his way into the 
finals of the Brady tournament, 
but Marion Pfluger whipped him 
for the crown. Then he lost the 
Texas Amateur Tourney at Dallas 
in the final round, and now the 
NCAA.

W hat it is that causes him to 
falter in 
the waning stages of 
each tourney has Williams as be­
the “ experts” who 
wildered as 
find him in the finals after over­
looking him when naming their 
favorites before the tourney.

He isn’t giving up, though. He’s 
playing rn the Pro-Amateur Tour­
ney in Dallas this week, and plan* 
to play in the State Junior Tour­
ney in San Antonio next week.

Perhaps he’ll have better luclt 

in these two. Who knows?

W ard had to come from behind 
to take Williams Sunday. Williams 
held a two-hole lead after the first 
three holes of the afternoon ses­
sion, and it wasn’t until the sixth 
hole that Ward could forge ahead.
Actually, th a t was the twenty- 
fourth hole of the match, since 
the first eighteen had been fin­
ished in the morning.

Williams pulled back into a tie 
on the seventh hole, but dropped 
behind again on the eighth. He 
gained a half-hole on the ninth 
by negotiating a Stymie.

Ralph (Peppy) Blount has sign­
ed a one-year contract with the 
New York Bulldogs of the National 
Football League, owner Ted Col­
lins announced recently.

Boudreau Names 
All-Star Pitchers

Based on the A ssociated Press

Seven pitchers selected Monday 
by American League All-Star Man­
ager Lou Boudreau of the Cleve­
land Indians completed 
the 25- 
player squad which will oppose the 
National loop team in the major 
league All-Star game a t Brook­
lyn July 12.

Only two of last year’s All-Star 
pitchers, Bob Lemon of Cleveland 
and Vie Raschi of New York, re ­
peated for the sixteenth renewal 
of the interleague classic. Pitchers 
nominated for the first time were 
Philadelphia’s Lou Brissie and 
Alex Kellner; Boston’s Mel P a r­
nell; New York’s Albe Reynolds; 
and Detroit’s Virgil Trucks.

Normanlly eight pitchers are 
selected, but Boudreau made room 
for New York’s Joe DiMaggio, who 
did not figure in the poll of fans 
for an outfield position because 
of his heel injury.

The American League starting 
lineup as ordered by the fans will 
be Eddie Robinson, Washington, 
lh; Cass Michaels, Chicago, 2b; 
George Kell, Detroit, 3b; Eddie 
Joost, Philadelphia, ss; Ted Willi­
ams, Boston, lf; Dom DiMaggio, 
Boston, cf; Tom Henrich, New 
York, r f ; George Tebbetts, Boston, 
c; and a pitcher to be named by 
Boudreau.

His presence will bring a re­
union of the passing combination 
— Bobby Layne to Blount— wrhich 
swept Texas to a 1945 Conference 
championship. Layne was acquired 
by the Bulldogs two weeks ago.

trimmed-down version of 
th e President’s bill calls fo r the

six years. Backers of 
the bill 
voiced hopes th a t the Senate and 
House would approve the Legis­
lation sometime Thursday 
and 
have it ready for the P resid e n t’s 
signature. In case of passage it 
would give Trum an his first m ajor 
victory fo r the domestic program 
th a t he called the “fa ir deal.”

The bill, in addition to its p ro ­
visions fo r housing sections sets 
op a huge slum clearance pro­

The President has asked C on­

building dwellings in cities fo r the 
benefit of lower-income families. 
Federal ren t subsidies would ru n 
up 
to $400,000,000 a year fo r

This bill ran into serious tr o u ­

adopted.

The conferees agreed to accept 
higher Senate figures of $325,- 
000,000 fo r aids to farm hous­
instead of the lower $321,-

Federal subsidies would make 
up the difference between actual

A voter registration law was ready today to replace the forty-year- 
old poll tax requirem ent for voting if th a t’s the way the Texans w ant 
it. It will become effective if voters November 8 adopt a constitutional 
am endm ent abolishing the poll tax as a requisite for voting.

The Russian news agency, Tass, said Wednesday that “a certain 
Douglas” has been climbing mountains in Iran and now is heading 
for Iranian Azerbaija which is ju st across the Russian border.

(United States Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and his 
son, William Jr., plan to attem pt an ascent of Mt. Demavend, highest 
peak in southwest Asia.)

A Soldier found hanging by his own necktie from a tree in down­

Lilienthal Declares 
US Atomic Efficiency

WASHINGTON, July C 

(/P)-

The Atomic Energy Commission; 
found the United States “ virtual­
ly unarmed atomically*’ when 
it 
took over from the Army in 1947, 
Chairman David E. Lilienthal tes­
tified Wednesday.

Backing him up, Dr. Robert F. 
Bacher, a form er member of the 
Commission, said:

“ I was deeply shocked to find 
how few atomic weapons we had 
a t th a t tim e.”

But now, Bacher said, he be­
lieves the United States is “ way 
out a h ea d ” of other Nations in the

It was Ilickenlooper who has 
charged Lilienthal with “ incredi­
ble m ismanagement” of the Com­
mission, demanding his ouster.

“ When the charge is misadmin­
istration, one can hardly say th a t 
results are not relevant,” Lilien­
thal said.

He told the Committee th a t the 
Commission has had one compel­
ling goal: “ unquestioned and u n ­
qualified leadership” for the U ni­
ted States in atomic development. 
With that goal constantly in mind, 
he said, the Commission has had 
to pass up some useful things it 
might have done, and pu t up a t 
times with some “ careless, stupid, 
and negligent” personnel.

Herbert Van Schellenbeck, 22- 
year-old business administration 
major from Guatemala City, re­
ports.

“ Things don’t close up at 12 
o’clock like they do here, and you 
seldom get home from a date be­
fore 4 o’clock in the morning,’’ 
he said.

Although Texas boots would be 
called girls’ shoes “ back home,’’ 
Van Schellenbeck wants a pair.

“ The first time I saw them, I 
thought the people must have de­
formed feet because the toes were 
so pointed. When I tried some on, 
I almost broke my neck trying to 
walk,” he said.

Van Schellenbeck’8 

father, a 
coffee exporter, was traveling in 
Germany when the war broke out. 
Van Schellenbeck went to Ger­
many to find his father, but dis­
covered he was dead.

Five-foot, ten-inch Van ScheU- 
enbeck weighed only eighty-five 
pounds when the war ended.

“ Naturally I dislike the Ger­
m a n s , ” he said. He describes them 
as “ tough as a boot.”

Van Schellenbeck registered at 
A&M and quit two days later. His 
mother wanted him to go there, 
but he didn’t like a military schooL 
The handsome brunet said that 
Texas and Guatemala girls are 
alike in many ways.

“ They start flirting there at 
about the same age as the girls 
up here, but they don’t go to night 
clubs until they’re 19 or 20. Then 
they sometimes take a chaperon.” 
However, he has no trouble with 
chaperons. The solution is to “ get 
the chaperon a date too.”

He described his usual date in 
Guatemala as a movie, then danc­
ing. Since the night life doesn’t 
start before 
l l , o’clock, a boy 
doesn’t pick up a date until about 
9 o’clock.

Van Schellenbeck likes every­
thing about Texas but the weather. 
He proudly explains that Guate­
mala City, 
in the “ Country of 
Everlasting Spring,” has a mini­
mum of forty degrees and a m axi­
mum of ninety degrees.

there are some 
things you ju s t can’t mix. Bongos

So there are many things, then, 
th a t are superb about the King 
Cole Trio— the foremost, perhaps, 
being Nat “ King” Cole himself. As 
a pianist, N a t still sparkles, play­

ing his neat, subtle style— crisply, 
yet delicately phrased, packed with 
fresh ideas. And his sly, insinuat­
ing vocals are f a r beyond com­
pare.

B ut there is more to N a t than 
his easy bandstand manner. He is 
a lad “ well aw are,” as he puts it, 
of w h a t’s happening around him, 
musically speaking.

T h a t’s

to get sick of the old stereotyped 
stuff. T h a t’s why the box office 
has slumped. W e’re relying 
too 
much on repetition, on the same 
type of music, and people 
old 
know w h a t’s going to happen be­
fore it happens.

“ The public is g e ttin g p a rtic u ­
lar a b ou t what they like, although 
they don’t know w h a t they w ant 
when they hear it. F o r a while it 
was swooners, but th ere were too 
many of them, and they didn't flip 
anybody anymore. Then it was 
trios, b u t now all trios sound the 
same.”

Hence N a t’s 

from 
trios. The addition of Costanza 
doesn’t completely change the p a t­
tern, N a t admits, b u t it gives it a 
fresh twist, something fo r which 
Cole has consistently searched.

“ And you g o tta give ’em some­
thing d ifferent. I took a chance 
on ‘N atu re Boy,’ though I think 
‘Lost A pril’ is a much b e tte r song. 
But the public liked ‘N ature Boy’ 
because it was d iffe re n t.”

So progress and originality are 
Cole’s watchwords, and thus fa r 
they have been successful ones. 
And since the q u a rte t is ap p aren t­

D rag Drive-In Bank Opens

By LEE CRUSE

The Texas State Bank opened 
inform ally Tuesday 
quietly and 
morning at 1904 Guadalupe Street, 
when the doors were thrown open 
fo r Drag merchants, students, and 
citizens.

The opening was greatly in con­

Although the Texas State

it 
is not the first bank to operate 
in the University area. The Uni­

Street.

The old bank, which was robbed

the space now occupied by

In 1945 J. E. Taylor, now a 
bank examiner, started the move­
m e n t to bring a bank to the Drag. 
R epresentatives from the Univer­

failed to agree on details of issu­

 Texas Looking Up 
For Fine Arts

By JACK HARWELL

to be filled.

If you could see the Texan of 
tomorrow today, you wouldn’t re ­
cognize him. l i e ’ll have coin aple­
nty to jingle in his pocket and so 
much culture bred into him that 
he’ll make the dandy from Broad­
way look like a piker.

The g re a t slumbering giant of 
the Southwest is awakening, and if 
the opinions expressed by Uni­
versity heads is correct, the much- 
heralded 
revolution 
industrial 
coming to Texas will be matched 
by a cultural revolution.

The Texan of 

tomorrow will 
demand the best in classical music, 
radio, drama, and a r t He’ll get it, 
too.

Accord’ng to Dr. E. W. Doty, 
dean of the College of Fine Arts, 
Gale Adkins, assistant director of 
Radio House, Frank L. Winship, 
the D epartm ent of 
chairman of 
Drama, and Charles Umlauf, chair­
man of the D epartm ent of Art, 
j Texas is the “ promised land” for 
; graduate students looking for jobs j 
j in one of the four fields mentioned ; 
above.

There are no more irontires to 
conquer in Texas. The people are 
becoming more settled and are get- 
tin g fu rth e r away from the fro n ­
tier type of life.

The result of this change in a t­
titude is evident in teaching a t the 
University. Broadway and Holly­
wood no longer necessarily repre­
sent the penacles of success.

The success a t finding good jobs 
for University graduates from the 
College of Fine Arts is due, to a 
great extent, to the excellent tra in ­
ing students receive in the d e p art­
ments.

Said Mr. Winship, “ Word is get­
ting around that our Department 
of Drama is one of the three top 
departments in the United States. 
WTe take a back seat to nobody, our 
departam ental 
th eater equals or 
excels virtually every other place 
in 
the 
the country. We have 
strongest undergraduate program 
in the U.S. today. Our graduates j 
those 
are able 
from Carnegie Tech and Vale.”

Requests 

fo r graduates 

from 
these departm ents have continued 
to increase. All four have several 
positions and jobs that yet remain *

In the Department o f Drama 
jobs for specialists in drama out­
number the applicants four to one, 
for combination jobs in teaching 
(teaching Algebra, English, etc. 
in addition to drama) the jobs out­
number the applicants twelve to 
one.

Art, Music, and Radio have 
similar openings they will not be 
able to fill. There is a special pro­
blem concerned with radio work, 
however. Opportunities for teach­
ers of radio are good but here a 
definite warning was given by Mr. 
Adkins.

Hhe said th a t students are slow 
to realize th a t radio is a highly 
competitive 
that 
business 
radio-production is almost a non­
existent field in Texas.

and 

When students realize that I n d i o 
they begin asking themselves what 
is a highly competitive bulginess 
they really like to do. Many change 
to teaching. Here is the danger, 
going from production to teach­
ing. The stud en t has not had the 
“ teaching” objective as he went 
aion gand is therefore only a me­
diocre teacher.

Likely opportunities fo r g ra d u a ­
tes of the Department of A rt may 
be 
in high 
schools of art schools, in advei Us­
ing agencies, in engraving, in de­
partment store fashions, and 
in 
mural decorating. The field is w ide 
open in ceramics and advertising 
because the industry which is now 
moving into Texas is expected to 
increase the demand for such type 
of work.

Dean Doty explained that most 
graduate music students average 
22 years of age and that the height 
o fa career in that field is not re­
ached at such early age. Most go 
into composing, radio, concert, 
orchestra, or some other type of 
work where they may spend about 
four years obtaining th a t neces­
sary experience.

in the trade for although salaries 
are good, the fields are crowded.

Dr. Henry M. Burlage, dean of 
the College of Pharmacy, says the 
demand for pharmacists is much 
greater than the supply with con­
sequently high salaries. Experienc­
ed pharmacists received $400 or 
over per month.

Dean Burlage attributes 

the

shortage to an 
increase in the 
prescription practice, advancement 
in research, superficial shortages 
caused by the war, and more rigid 
requirements 
that pharmacists 
must meet.

Whaley sa’d, “in bringing all ex­

in a 
manner in which we want to.”

individually and 

“We can change the temper­
ature, the lighting as to intensity 
or duration, the humidity, or the 
gras content of the atmosphere,” 
Dr. Whaley said.

The laboratory will open next 
fall in the basement of the Biology 
Building.

Rapid testing o f various plants 
under different climatic conditions 
will be possible. Plants from other 
parts of the world such as bananas 
and pineapples, can be tested for 
adaptation 

to Texas climates.

The laboratory’s machinery will 
produce an equivalent to pure sun­
light, Dr. Whaley said. It will also 
produce 
ranging 
temperatures 
from freezing to HO degrees, and 
humidity from very dry to near 
raining.

The amounts of carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, and oxygen in the air 
will be regulated.

Success of the project may mean 
improved information about gras­
ses and crops that may help far­
mers and ranchers increase cattle

According to a survey o f the 
demand for elementary teachers 
issued by the College of Education, 
Texas schools will require 28,867 
new elementary teachers in the 
five years period from 1949-53.

To meet this demand there will 
have to be there three times as 
many elementary teachers certifi­
ed as there were in 1947-48.

Dr. Gray points out, that ap­
proximately five out o f six re­
quests for jobs are for high school 
the 
teaching positions, despite 
fact 
elementary and 
secondary teachers are paid on 
single salary schedules.

Because of the shortage o f libra­
rians, the Southern Association of 
Colleges and Secondary Schools 
has agreed to accept 
librarians 
with a bachelor’s degree even with 
as little as twelve hours of library 
science.

Under the Gilmer-Aiken plan, 
a teacher with a bachelor’s degree 
with no previous experience, will 
receive a minimum of $2400, while 
a teacher with a master’s will re­
ceive approximately $2700. In ad­
dition, all teachers will receive $6 
per month extra for every year of 
teaching experiences up to $156 
per month.

According to Dr. Gray, more 
men than women are now entering 
the education field are training 
for positions as principals and 
boys’ physical training instructors 
in elementary schools.

Dr. Gray also stated th a t ap­
proximately 400 teachers are need­

Ralph E. Frede, director of the 
Student Employment Bureau, says 
the geologists are “seriously wor­
there is 
ried” about jobs since 
little demand, and the field is very 
crowded. Beginning salaries for 
those who can land jobs average 
$315 per month.

He also said there has been a 
15 to 20 per cent decline in the 
demand for engineers with pos­
sible exception of petroleum and 
chemical engineers.

W. 

It. Hudson, head of 

the 
Engineering Placement Bureau, 
says that since 1941 there has been 
the 
an 80 per cent increase in 
number of engineers enrolled at 
the University.

Hudson points out that engineer­
ing jobs abroad are decreasing to 
t ie extent that only single men are

being considered.

Engineers receive about $266 
per month with the exception o f 
petroleum and chemical engineer* 
who get about $300.

According to Mr. Frede, beginn­
ing lawyers receive about $240 per 
month. In the past few years th# 
University TmS fcvmed out a sur­
plus of students with law clegrees, 
but the demand for lawyers ha* 
not decreased because many law 
graduates enter related fields, ha 
indicates.

Accounting and sales were listed 
by Mrs. Mary Katherine Borcher* 
head of the Business Administra­
tion Placement Service, as th* 
business fields with the greatest 
demand for workers, with salaries 
ranging from $225 for advertizing 
and general business workers ta 
$250 for accountants.

In part-time jobs there is de­
mand for people willing to do odd 
jobs, as floor waxing, yard work 
etc. There 
is also a need for 
typists and general office person­
nel, and for miscellaneous worker* 
to do such things as live at funeral 
homes, drive ambulances, etc.

Mr. Frede says there have als* 
been many part time placement* 
in skilled work such as bridge 
instruction, machine work, and 
tutoring.

Part time jobs run from four to 
34 hours per week and average 
from 60 to 75 cents an hour. 
Non-graduate full-time jobs ave­
rage $100 to $300 per month, 
while full-time graduate jobs pay 
from $170 to $400.

Kerrville to Celebrate 
Mohair Centennial

A pageant celebrating the 100th 
anniversary of the mohair industry 
in the United States will be staged 
at Kerrville August 4, under the 
direction of Thomas D. Rishworth, 
director of Radio House.

The pageant, written by Mr. 
Rishworth with Joe Murphy and 
Mrs. Ruth Hunnicut of the Radio 
House writing staff, will depict the 
history of the mohair industry. The 
include 30 mounted 
cast will 
riders, IOO square dancers, and a 
herd of blue

Angora goats, the animals from 
which mohair is derived.

The pageant, which marks the

. Consumer demands have decreased 
5 per cent since 1939, but private invest­
ment has decreased 15.6 per cent. Em­
ploye’s wages are 3 per cent beneath 
the 1939 level, but business income and 
corporate profits are above the ’39 mark.

6. Corporations are not declaring div­
idends of profits that are running high­
er than needed to maintain current or 
even somewhat increasing levels of in­
vestment.

7. Some basic industries are assuming 
liklihood of recession and not increasing 
capacities.

Programs like the Brannan Plan are 
geared to remove farm price troubles, 
but there is needed an over-all policy 
to aid the American economy, probably 
extended from the President’s Council 
of Economic Advisors.

There is a need today to provide for 

the priority needs of the economy.

Economic analyses of our system are 

needed frequently.

These analyses should be used as 

guides to markets by businessmen.

Government agencies should become 
advisory rather than mandatory regu­
lators of the economy. Businessmen 
should quit mistaking the purpose with 
cries of socialism and heed the reports.

The government need not turn from 
temporary functions 
like a minimum 
wrage, tempory controls over monopolis­
tic pricing, temporary selective controls, 
and other public programs.

Mr. Leon H. Keyserling; vice-chair­
man of the Council of Economic Advi­
sors, put it well when he wrote:

“The powerful and high-speed and 
ever-changing4 American economy will 
not automatically and perpetually sta­
bilize itself; it requires policies directed 
toward that end.”

"American economists — on e v e r y 
courthouse lawn and some on the White 
House lawn— were 
talking about the 
.economic state of the nation this week.

Talk ranged between the “full-blown 
depression” Henry Wallace's Progres­
sive Party claims and the “Dynamic 
Fifties” forecast by New York econo­
mist Dr. Lionel D. Edle. It was varied. 
Everybody has a t h e o r y on the business 
cycle these days.

But stand-offs like Senator Lucas ob­
served: “People had better quit gab­
bing about depression before they talk 
themselves into one.”

In a way the Senator is right. The car­
dinal rule in times of economic flucu- 
ation is to be optimistic. I f s an old rule 
th at was used in 1929 and 1930. That 
,was wThen government sound trucks rol­
led down the streets playing the new hit 
song “Happy Days Are Here Again.” 
It wasn’t too convincing to the boys in 
the bread lines, though.

But there is reason today for Ameri­
cans to be optimistic, not because it is 
a necessity but because there are good 
pigns that dispel alarms.

Unemployment has not yet reached 
the five million mark that government 
officials say is critical, and even in the 
best of times there wrere two million 
Americans out of work.

The present economic drop is caused 
by a change from a sellers' to a buyers* 
market. In 1929 the crash came from 
credit inflation. Today's drop comes 
from price inflation.

The government still offers protection 
against wild stock market speculation, 
bank failures, and farm price falls. 
tThere is a backlog of public construction 
estimated near $100 billion. And the 
Marshall Plan provides a ready public 
taarket.

But if there is no need for alarm, that 
does not mean that there is not a need 
for some thoughtful concern about the 
economy. There are economic malad­
justments today that need fixing:

1. Since private 

industry provides 
jfour-fifths of the nation’s w’ealth, it must 
shoulder with the government the re­
sponsibility of maintaining prosperity.

2. The cost of living has not dropped 
frlong with other conditions. It rose 71

There is no blanket assurance that the

of hundred more as mustering nut

We had a choice o f two paths 
then, if we wranted to stay on the 
payroll. We could have either 
joined the 52-20 club, or enrolled 
in college. We brought a pair of 
saddle oxfords and came to cot- 
lege.

Well, w e’re only a few months 
away from

GI bill will play out in February, 
but is that the end? Of course it 
isn’t. Because next year w e’ll get 
a pretty big dividend from some 
insurance we took out in the army

to, we can still take them up on 
that 62-20 club.

of people have read this far, ars 
probably wondering what w e’re 
griping about. Perhaps we should­

had it so good.

But the fact remains that we 
simply don’t rate all of this. We 
realise, o f course, that we did 
exceptionally little in the big war, 
and that our case doesn’t apply 
to everyone else.

There’s another side, however. 
Our case can be multiplied by the

' To what extent will the present 
building program 
carried? 
When the buildings now under 
construction are completed, will 
the students be content simply to 
occupy the new classrooms and 
let it go at that or will they de­
mand that a University landscape 
project be introduced to beautify 
the extending campus?

These questions were also in the 
minds of the students during the 
University building program after 
World War I, and the three poo^ 
in front of the Biology Building 
are proof that they did something 
mere than hope that the campus 
landscape would be improved.

The pools, now surrounded by 

grass, occupied by goldfish.

In order to provide the differ­
ent 
temperatures various plants 
require, two o f the pools are four 
feet deep and the third two feet 
deep. They are pear-shaped and 
from forty to sixty feet in length. 
Built on three 
levels, the first 
overflows into the second and the 
second into the third.

But life in the ponds 

is not 
a;ways a bed o f lilies. One day 
in 19-11, Janitors Crain and McCoy

the 

laboratory 

o f 
discovered 
something sunning on one of the 
lily pads. A few days later they 
lay in wait, and when it came up 
for sun, they went after it with 
window sticks. They had *t half­
way out of the pool when it flop* 
ped back in. Just How long does 
a water moccasin live?

When the pools were completed 
they were stocked with a valuable 
collection o f water lilies, chiefly 
of the tropical variety, given to the 
University by A. J. Proebstle of 
o f Brazoria. Dr. Milton R. Gutsch 
and Dr. T. S. Painter also made 
water plant contributions along 
wih H. J. Lutcher Stark.

Part of the lily collection sent 
by Mr. Proebstle was placed in 
one pool; the rest of the collection 
was scattered with other lilies in 
the various ponds around 
the 
campus.

‘Of the eight pools on the camp­
us, three are located in front of 
the Biology Building; three others 
are in the grounds of the Little­
field home; one is located in the 
patio o f the Texas Union, and the 
eighth is in front of the Little­
field Memorial Fountain.

UT Research Aids Life

By GRADY TURNER

Denied approximately one-third 
o f its appropriations request for 
the 1949-51 biennium by an econ­
omy-minded F ifty-first Legisla­
ture, the Univeristy has even more 
reason to be thankful for the U n ­
iversity o f Texas Memorial Re­
search Center, form erly known as 
the Off-campus Research Center.
The 393-acre war-time magnes­
ium plant to which the University 
gained title in May looms as the 
m ost important single item in an 
imposing list of scientific instal­
lations that make the University 
and Austin an outstanding scien­
tific research center in the United 
States.

The twenty-six permanent build­
ings, nine 
transformer houses, 
three railroad sidings, boiler and 
steam plants, water, gas and sew ­

age systems, and the complete u t­
ilities set-up make the Research

Machines like one now being de­

additions or subtractions per sec­

according to an article in Busi­

The machine, developed by Ec-

How are such machines made

“ The office machines

“ Given the right information to

The Department o f Ceramic 
Engineering is the main research 
center and training ground for an 
industry which may some day 
bring in $100,000,000 a year for 
Texas by manufacturing useful 
and valuable articles and non­
metallic minerals.

That's the opinion o f F. K. 
Pence, professor of ceramic engin­
eering and director of the ceramic 
research laboratory. He backs it 
up this way:

“When the department started, 
Texas had only a few small art 
potteries, one glass plant, one 
enamel-iron plant, and one fire­
brick plant.

“Today we have twenty potter­
ies, four floor and wall tile factor­
ies, three saintary-ware potteries, 
three 
six 
enamel-iron plants, and three large 
refractory plants.”

UT Students Turning to Co-Ops

8 7 GRADY TURNER

W ith a depression, a recession, 
o r some such economic disaster 
freely prophesied, University stu­
dents are turning to an “ economic 
device” tested in two eras as a 
means of com batting 
the high 
costs of living.

Co-operation is the simple eco­
nomic device which has added 
thousands of under-financed stu ­
to University graduation 
dents 
lists, saved thousands of dollars 
fo r others, and given many an 
“ experience in democratic living.”
The modern era of University 
co-operatives followed a plan laid 
©ut in the depression ’30’s by Dr. 
Dan Russell, a professor of rural 
sociology a t Texas A&M. Earliest 
records of the University mention 
“ boarding clubs.”

“ The co-operative movement on 
the campus grew up in response 
to the needs of the students,” says 
Herschel Gipson, assistant dean of 
Student life from 1941 to 1946.

people in the co-operatives knew 
nothing about the national o r the

and of staying in school.” These 
students, he adds, pooled their re ­
sources and began co-operatives.

the campus, and most of the other 
co-operatives have grown out of 
them, Mr. Gipson says.

Five co-op houses for girls and 
five for boys are in operation now. 
Essentially, the method of living 
and working is the same in all 
houses, with officers elected from 
the members, duties assigned to 
all residents, and food bought co­
operatively through the Students 
Business Association.

But there is a difference in the 
basic aims of boys’ and girls’ co- 
I op houses, according to Mr. Gip-

son and Miss Dorothy Gebauer, 
dean of women. The boys’ houses, 
it seems, are prim arily economic, 
aimed a t cutting living costs, while 
girls’ co-ops are “ an experiment 
in co-operative living.

For th at reason men’s co-ops 
are larger, with more members, 
while girls’ co-ops generally aver­
age less than twenty residents.

Men’s co-ops in existence now 
are Campus Guild, Oak Grove, 
TLOK (The Lord Only Knows), 
Theleme, and the Hispanic-Ameri- 
can Club. Girls’ co-op houses are 
Theadorne, Halstead, Shangri-La, 
Valhalla, and Wakonda.

the co-op

tor, a student body president, and 
several class officers in the late 
’30’s and early *40’s.

In the early days, co-oping was 
different. The dean of men select­

Chances are about seven out of 
ten that there’s a touch of your I 
home town in one of the Drag ; 
business houses. The concern 
is 
the League of Texas Municipali­
ties, next door to the University 
YMCA.

An association devoted to muni­
cipal progress, the League, com­
posed of 483 Texas cities, 
is a 
non-profit 
organization.

rector.

An outstanding service of the 
League is answering inquiries and 
assisting in the solution of civic 
problems.

For example, the city of Mule­
shoe may have a workable itiner­
ant peddlers ordinance. The de­
tails of the ordinance are sent to 
a 
League headquarters where 
staff publishes and distributes it 
to citiesrequesting a tested pro­
cedure for protection against fly- 
by-night salesmen.

Another service of the League 
is the publication of Texas Muni­
cipalities, a monthly magazine 
with a circulation of about 4,000, 
and “A Roster of City Officials,” 
published yearly.

versity maintains tho Bureau of 
Municipal Research.

These bureaus and 

institutes, 
together with others o f equal im­
portance, are carrying on the work 
of building and m aintaining the 
culture, industry, and ecohomy of 
Texas and the nation.

Too, there are many research 
projects that never make the head­

lines. These 
individual research 
projects in literature, economics, 
journalism, and many other fields 
contribute their bit toward human 
knowledge and culture.

For example, the Walter Mahly 
III Fund has been set up to finance 
the publication of studies o f mate­
rials in the University Rare Book 
Collection. Four books have been

published thus far.

On the lighter side, too, there 
is the research o f Coach Blair

athlete 
procurement methods. 
Comes next fall this “ Bureau” will 
conduct five laboratory demons­

Speech Defects Cured

B y Sid M e rritt

If you have a defect in speech, 
the speech-clinic facilities are open 
to you. The clinic is under the di­
rection of Dr. J. J . Villarreal, as­
sociate professor o f speech, and 
is located in the Speech Building.
The summer program in opera­
tion 
includes the same type of 
work which is done during the long 
session, having no limits as to the 
types of cases being handled.

Dr. Villarreal 

said, however, 
that the number of cases which are 
being handled at present are forty, 
including such types as deaf or 
hard of hearing, 
stuttering, de­
layed and infantile speech, foreign 
dialects, aphasia and dysphonia.

Aphasia means the disturbance 
of symbolic functions so that lan­
guage skills of production and re­
ception are lost or impaired. Dys­
phonia is the inability to produce! 
phonated sounds which are not ab­
sent but are imperfect.

The ages of persons seeking in­
struction in the speech clinic range 
from three years to adults above 
fifty . Whether or not they are 
University students, children from 
the Austin public schools, pre­
school children or non-University 
adults makes no difference.

These people are being observed 
and worked with by people who are 
receiving training as speech thera­

pists, most o f whom are employed 
in special education programs of 
schools.

Dr. Villarreal said that in addi­
tion to the forty cases they are 
working with, they see a consid­
erable number of people who are 
brought in for testing, examina­
tions, and consultation and advice 
concerning their problems. Usual­
ly, he said,they are busy from 8 
o’clock 
in the morning until 6 
o’clock in the evening.

Occasionally, Dr. Villarreal said 
that the persons receiving instruc­
tion are brought together for spe­
cial lectures and films. A couple 
o f weeks ago, Dr. Spencer Brown, 
associate professor o f speech path- j 
ology at the University of Iowa, j 
visited the clinic and gave a lee- ‘ 
ture.

Later, Dr. Mary W. Huber, as­
sociate professor of speech path-1 
ology o f Brooklyn College, talked 
on cerebral injury and brain-in­
jured children.

E. IL Rolston, educational con­
sultant for the State Department! 
of Health, gave a lecture and dem­
group pure-tone 
onstration on 
hearing tests.

“ We intend to have other lec­
turers visit us during the sum­
mer,” Dr. Villarreal said. We try 
to give the people in our clinic as j

much academic training as possi­
ble, he added.

Every afternoon at 4 o’clock, 
the sta ff meets to discuss cases in 
the clinic and general problems of 
operation as an aid to every per­
son concerned.

Members of the permanent staff 
who are working in the speech 
clinic this summer are Dr. Villar­
real; Mrs. Maurine B. Amis, in­
structor in speech; and Miss Lear 
Ashmore, teaching fellow.

Dr. William W olfe, director of 
special education at the Univer­
sity o f North Carolina last year, 
is one o f the two visiting sta ff 
members this summer. He will, 
however, become a permanent 
sta ff member here in September, 
combining work in speech with ed­
ucational psychology.

Miss Alice Burnett, hearing 
conservation 
in public 
teacher 
schools in Youngstown, Ohio, is the 
other visiting sta ff member, lim­
iting her work here to the extent 
of the summer only.

Dr. Villarreal said that during 
the first week in July, Dr. H elen. 
Lane, who is the principal of 
Central Institute for the Deaf lo­
cated in St. Louis will be brought 
to the clinic through the assistance 
of the Hogg Foundation and the 
Texas State School for the Deaf.

By W IL L IS A. MASON

The past ten years have seen a 
great increase in the quantity o f 
research being done by the U ni­
versity and its branches.

Dr. T. S. Painter, president of 
the University, told the faculty in 
1947 that World W'ar II had im­
pressed upon government and in- 
ductry alike the importance of re­
search work in national security 
and industrial advancement.

World War II speeded up the in­
dustrialization o f Texas by many 
years and had a profound effect on 
economy of this state.

Research funds come from in­
dividuals, 
industry, 
foundations, 
and University appropiations. The 
outside funds come in the form of 
gifts, contracts, or grants. During 
1947 the University received more 
various 
than 
sources for research.

also doing work for national def­
ense.

Dr. H.| J. Ettlinger, professor of 
pure mathematics, has been study- j

Dr. Boner received an A rm y-;

cals from natural gas. Natural gas,

acing used in a number o f new 
products such as plastics and syn­

The money for Dr. Schoch’s re- 
eearch came

petroleum and chemical inductries. 
These two industries put $500 mil­
lion into new plants in the South­
west during the war, thus becom­
ing major factors in our economy.
In 1947 the Corrosion Research 
Laboratory was set up with grants 
from the Office of Naval Research, 
Natural Gasoline Association of 
America, and the Freeport Sulphur 
Company. This laboratory studies 
the rate and nature o f corrosion 
Du various metals under actual 
working conditions.

The University and Texas AAM 
ntered into a joint petroleum re- 
eareh project to increase the per­
centage of primary and secondary 
ecovery in oil wells. Along this 
ine, Dr. C. F. Weimaug, associate 
professor of petroleum engineer- 
ng, discovered 
that retrograde 
:ondensate will revaporize from 
i gas reservoir o f sand if the pre­
ssure is lowered sufficiently. This 
vill cut waste by increasing re- 
;overy.

In 1947 the Bureau of Indus-

In the field of medical research 
the M. D. Anderson Cancer Re­

extensive work. This hospital re­
ceived $12,500 from the Ameri­
can Cancer Society to study case

Mrs. Rosalie B. Hite of Houston 
willed the University $1,000,000 
for cancer research, and Mrs. Jane

‘‘Modern economy is eatin g up

A nother e ffo rt of education to

The electrical industry, acting 
as a medium through which nu ­
clear energy could be m ade ava­
ilable, would save much in cost 
and lessen the disruption th a t an 
o u trig h t switch o f power systems 
would entail, Dr. Boner thinks.

The use of atomic energy in

Dr. Boner told the N ews’ reporter.

The 

future of 

the chemical 
industry along the coastal area of 
the State is bright, according to 
Dr. Robert W. French, director of 
the Bureau of Business Research. 
this week 
Dr. French returned 
from New York, where he con­
ferred with executives o f many of 
the major 
companies 
industrial 
who have interests in the coastal 
area.

Until now we have only begun 
to develop chemicals from our oil 
and gas supply, but it is estim­
ated that further development in 
this field w ill be continued, Dr. 
French said.

According to Dr. French, some 
of the industries are not expected 
to expand greatly in the future 
because o f limitations in existing 
resources.

Texas will probably not expand 
in the chemical field to rival the 
large cities of the east, he con­
tinued, but a great deal o f ex­
pansion is expected by the chem­
ical industries in this area.

In qualifying his 

information, 
Dr. French said that the amount 
o f increase or decrease 
in any 
field would be purely “guesstim at- 
ing.”

THE SUMMER TEXAN 

Paqa Ti

Economists W ant Progressive Tax

BY CONNIE PATTS
** R e ^ n t l y the Associated Press 
conducted a round-up survey bt 
opinion on the future meaning of 
recent 
reports of climbing un­
employment and falling business.
Business men were the most 
pessimistic, saying they looked for 
unemployment 
to spread during 
1950.

Unemployment. 

Ju st what are 
its causes and ultimate effects 
on business trends? And why is 
it a recurring problem in a capit­
alistic economy?

According to H. Gordon Hayes, 
author of “ Spending, Saving and 
Unemployment” and one of the 
most prominent present-day Amer­
ican economists, “ unemployment 
occurs because we do not con­
sume the produce th at we pro­
duce or might produce.”

This unemployment eventually 
leads to depression in a capitalis­
tic economy because consumption 
of the product is not the goal of 
our production.

Hayes points out how the pri­
vate enterprise system operates 
on a different basis. Savers do not 
lend their money for the construc­
tion of shoe factories so that they 
may have shoes, nor so they can 
get shoes to swap for coats. They 
lend their money to be used in 
building shoe factories so 
that 
the shoes may be sold for a profit, 
and both savers and business men 
may make still more money.

Failure of some persons to buy 
the share of the product to which 
their money incomes entitle them, 
Hays says, 
is the only conceiv­
able reason for the dismissal of 
workers and the closing down of 
plants. This prevents sales from 
being made, cuts production, and 
compels the laying off of work­
ers.

However, it is not because the 
wants of all of us are satisfied 
th at we fail to consume the pro­
duct, for at least a third of the 
population are always underfed 
and shabbily clothed, except dur-

in# a major war, and always poor- 
j ly housed.

I

fa r 

Another 

from 
third are 
having their desires for the neces­
sities and comforts of life satis­
fied and know practically nothing
of luxuries.

Thus the lowest two-third3 of 
the population on 
the economic 
scale cannot buy the consumable 
products though they are the ones 
who need them most. And the top 
one-third will not buy their money 
share of them because of their 
consumption 
already 
and because of their desire to save. 
Hence, recession sets in.

adequate 

As 

the economy moves from

the stage of recession 
into de-
constantly 
pression, prices are 
falling so business men try to get 
rid of inventories and Gonyert tp 
a cash or “ liquid” position.

there 

Investors hold on more tightly 
than ever to their money in the 
form of savings, and 
is 
also a continuous stream of dis­
pro­
investment. Consequently, 
duction, employment, purchasing 
power and consumption are lower 
than before. This downward trend 
is cumulative because each time 
it perpetuates 
itself to a lower 
stage of economic activity.

Families and 

individuals as a 
whole follow a policy of “ wait

and see.” They make the old car 
last and postpone additions to the 
house th at would otherwise have 
been made.

If depression is left ta itfE its 
course without government inter­
vention, recovery will not begin, 
according to the English econo­
mist, Lord Kenes, until the ex­
haustion of stocks and the wear­
ing out of durable goods makes 
replacements imperative.

more, and self-appointed benefact­
or of economy-minded veterans, 
that is Mrs. Tom Doss of 401 East 
Eight Street.

Mother Doss, as her “ boys and 
girls” call her, is a youngish lady 
of 72, who for more than twenty 
years has roomed and boarded 
young people. “ All boys or all 
girls,” she says, “ they don’t mix.”
At present, she is rooming and 
boarding 
sixteen girls, besides 
feeding a host of University stu­
dents of whom most are veterans.
She feels that people are for­
getting 
sacrificies of our 
soldiers. To show that she doesn’t

savings she makes by owning her 
own home.

ingratitude, 

the 

For many of the veterans and 
others on short allowances, Mot­
her Doss’s meals keep them both 
satisified and solvent. They pay 
only $20 a month for three meals

a day, six days a week. Served 
1 family style, on an “ eat as much 
as you can” basis, the noon and 
evenings always 
include meat, 
coffee, tea, or milk, and a t least 
four vegetables. For breakfast, 
there are eggs, cereal, and coffee 
or milk.

Mother Doss arises every morn­
ing a t 4 o’clock to prepare break­
fast, and is on hand to greet her 
“children” as they arrive for each 
meal.

She fondly relates the experi­
ences and memories of those who 
have left. Some of them write her 
regularly, and visit her when they 
return 
“especially 
around meal-time,” she says smil­
ing.

to Austin, 

Asked her philosophy or life, 
she answered without hesitating, 
“ I 
love people, all people, but 
especially young people.” She a t­
tributes her ability to get along 
people to the fact 
with young 
that she 
is not narrow-minded. 
Those who perpetually suspect the

acts of young people, she good- 
humoredly scorns, “ They were 
probably worse themselves when 
they were young, for how else 
could they know so much.”
Mother Doss belives 

in hard 
work, thrift, and the simple life. 
She tells how she and Mr. Doss, 
beginning when Austin was stiyi, 
a saloon town of unpaved streets, 
worked and saved to buy their 
home and educate their son.

At an age when many people 
feel useless and neglected Mother 
Doss has found occupation and 
friendship while performing 
a 
genuine service 
the young 
people whose company and affec­
tion she cherishes.

for 

Mr. Doss, 78, an ex-employe of 
the City of Austin W ater and 
Light Department, is retired. He 
can be seen most any day, water­
ing, weeding, and cutting 
the 
grass or making repairs on the 
home that he himself built twenty-
nine years a g o .

which usually calls for much pub­
lic building.

If recovery is to be accelerated 
then the government, both eeo*^ 
omists agree, hft# ft major role to 
perform.

By making medical 

insurance 
and other type of social insur­
ance generally available, both 
agree, families would require less 
to meet costs, and consequently 
they would tend to save less and 
consume more.

They also recommend that hea­
vy progressive tax rates be im­
posed or continued on the upper 
sales 
income groups and that 
payroll imposts, and other taxes 
that fall heavily upon the lower 
income groups be reduced or abo­
lished.

Both economists point to tho 
fact that the propensity to con­
sume rises as 
the distribution 
of income becomes more nearly 
equal and falls as distribution o f 
incomes becomes less equal.

Hayes believes the propensity 
to consume can also be increased 
through 
the encouragement of 
trade unionism; the curtailment 
of monopoly.

Both economists 

indorse gov­
ernment investment directed ac­
cording to social need to make up 
for lack of private investment.

requires most of the time of eleven 
full-time and two part-tim e em­

Robert F. Coffey.

Mr. Coffey estimates th a t at the 
peak of v eteran enrollment 
in 
1946-47, five requisitions fo r each 
veteran, a to tal of 60,000, went 
through the office in one semester. 
Then 12,000 lists of the supplies 
each veteran had received during 
the semester went to the V eterans 
Administration.

The office has a folder for every 
v eteran who has been enrolled in 
the University under the GI Bill. 
In these folders are kept costs of 
supplies the veteran has received. 
And none of 
the approximtaely 
30,000 folders can be thrown away 
until the GI Bill runs out.

mission reports for the first five
months of 1949*

The n u m b e r of jobless Texans 
in May, 1948, was 49,683; this 
May the figure stood at 68,265. In 
January of this year the total un­
em ployed was 59,040, an increase 
of 9,225 from January to May.

Despite this, Texans have few ­

workers in most other states.

The brighter side of the picture, 
however, shows th a t more people 
are woi king now than in Jan u a ry . 
The figure for th a t month was 
2,298,000; the latest TEC repo rt

Last year, the am o u n t of em­

A nother stud ent from Mexico 
said unless the peso comes up in

next fall. The economic trouble 
Mexico is having will be good for 
her, he said, because she will have 
to produce many products Bhe

The people who a re affected 
the devaluation of the 
most by 
peso are the ones who live along 
the border and the poorer people 
in the interior of Mexico, the stu­
den t emphasized.
