College Station, Texas Thursday, August 9, 1962
CADET SLOUCB
HOWDY
from
PARIS, FRANCE
By J. DONALD DELIZ
A visit to Montmartre really
gives you a varied combination
of feelings about Paris. I visited
at dusk on a borrowed Vespa
motor scooter, and as we ap
proached Place Pigalle, it was
getting ready for its wild eve
ning’s merriment. This entire
square is lined with night clubs,
strip shows and ladies of the
evening.
I whizzed by it rather fast, for
one doesn’t have to spend money
to come to Paris for that—at
least I tell myself this.
The outstanding thing at Place
Pigalle is the Moulin Rouge.
That was the club made famous
by the dwarfed artist Toulouse-
Latrec who made their posters
in the ‘gay Nineties’, advertising
their Can-Can dancers.
But nowadays only the name
remains, and it is a dance hall
like all the others with twist and
rock and roll music coming out
of it. The same songs we have
in the good old U.S. of A., but
the lyrics are in French.
ing down so I thought that they
were closing. I enjoyed the view
from the terrace at half way, but
when I got to the top, I felt so
tired that I couldn’t enjoy the
fuy view.
It was then that I felt like a
martyr myself, for I saw the lit
tle funicular railway that I could
have taken on the way up. That’s
why everyone was coming down
the steps. As a rule, you take
the funicular up and walk down.
But the little railway is cleverly
concealed in bushes and trees
and is off to one side.
At the top of the hill, one can
also see the little church of St.
Pierre which all the Parisians of
this section go to instead of the
Sacre Coeur. St. Pierre is au
thentic to them. It was built in
the Middle Ages and it is where
the Jesuit movement began in
France. To them, Sacre Coeur is
a tourist attraction.
CHURCHES OLD
I was looking for the Mont
martre of artists and picturesque
little streets like those in the
Maurice Utrillo paintings, so I
went up to the top of the hill
above Place Pigalles amuse
ments.
There is a church called Sacre
Coeur there that is built in the
Byzantine style. It is pure white
and it was built in 1873, which
is very new for any church here.
They usually date back two or
three hundred years. The out
landish towers of the Sacre
Coeur jar the Parisians and they
don’t like them too much. They
talk about it like we talk about
Bagley Hall,
going down.
The name of the section of
Montmartre because it is a
mount upon which some saints
in the middle ages were mar
tyred. I climbed the hill by way
of the thousand steps and I no
ticed a great many people com-
UTRILLO FOUND
As you wander around the top
of the hill, there are many of
those little streets, stairways and
white facaded houses that you
see in the Maurice Utrillo paint
ings.
I had found Maurice at last!
Then a little street took me to
the Place de Tertre which means
the square of the hilltop. It is
here that the local artists sell
their paintings and we see a lot
of poor art going into tourist’s
hands for a lot of money. It is
easy to overlook this fact since
the place is really very charming
with its little cafes and bakeries.
It was time to descend the hill
by them, and ride my motor-
scooter back to its owner, but
at least I had seen the Paris of
the artists. A little commercial
ized for the summer for the
tourists.
However, it was unmistakably
the Paris of Utrillo because one
could see all those little white
houses stacked on the hillside
with their ochre-white walls
breathing forth the secrets of
those living within them.

May Not Be Bad
“ . . . there’s no need to carry this experiment further—Th’
principle involved is apparent ...”
~W^TTA TW V education, school personnel, mag-
T~M R azines, and publications by state
and national organizations.
Continuous, low-intensity irra
diation may be less harmful to
mammals than previously be
lieved, experiments here indicate.
Two A&M radiation biologists
will tell results of their research
Aug. 5-11 at the Second Inter-
natioial Congress on Radiation
Research at Harrowgate-Y ork-
shire, England.
Dr. Sidney O. Brown and Dr.
George Krise will give papers at
the international meeting on their
long term investigations of
“hematological, reproductive and
histopathological effects” of low-
dose, prolonged gamma radiation
of white rats and mice.
Information gained by their re
search is basic to survival of
space travelers—who may be ex
posed to similar irradiation—and
to those living in “radiation
fringe areas,” should nuclear
warfare occur.
Their research tends to show
that low-level radiation, even
over a long period, does not alter
appreciably any of the normal
bodily processe s—except for
these notable exceptions: male
rats became sterile after expo
sure to more than 35,000 milli-
roentgens each week for more
than a month.
Females, under these condi
tions, did not produce satisfac
tory fifth and sixth litters. Rats
maintained for nine generations
in a radiation field of 14,000
milliroentgens each week showed
no demonstrable changes in
morphology or reproductive
capacity.
As a point of reference, the
human population today is sub
jected to about two milliroent
gens per week as a result of
“fallout” in the atmosphere
caused by nuclear explosions.
Their research has been con
ducted for the Office of Surgeon
General, U.S. Ax-my, at the Ra
diation Biology Laboratory of
the Texas Engineering Experi
ment Station here.
Because this basic research is
designed for application on work
with higher mammals, the x*e-
sults of the low-intensity radia
tion reseai’ch shows a need for
continuing studies.

Being Done
By Educators
A public relations handbook
for schools is being written by
a summer term graduate class
in the Department of Education
and Psychology.
Dr. Paul Hensarling, depart
ment head and class instructor,
said 11 students are participating
in the project. Purpose of the
handbook is to improve school
and community relations.
ROBBIE D. GODWIN
..EDITOR
Class members are teachers,
most of them preparing for ad
ministrative positions in public
schools. Each student will re
ceive a handbook to take with
him when he returns to his reg
ular school position this fall.
“It is hoped that the handbook
will seiwe as a guide for school
systems to interpret educational
programs to the communities,”
Hensaxding said.
The publications is organized
around the various media for
communication with the public,
he said. Principal media are news
papers, television, radio, public
speaking and personal contact,
school-prepared brochures, news
letters, special activities, lay
citizen committees, the board of
