Increased housing costs
to result in economizing
Increased housing costs will bring
about dramatic changes in the looks
of Texas homes of the future, pre
dicts a research economist with the
Texas Real Estate Research Center
(TRERC).
Dr. Roger P. Sindt of the TRERC
Research Division reports that
higher costs of shelter will cause
housing consumption patterns in
Texas to continue to change mar
kedly.
For home buyers, those changes
will take many forms. For example,
despite rising square footage costs, a
reduction in floor area may reach a
point where further decreases can
not be made.
Sindt said that garages, which in
the past have been finished to nearly
the same standards as heated and
cooled living areas, will give way to
carports.
New homes will continue to fea
ture fewer built-in appliances as
standard equipment. However, the
savings will be illusory since con
sumers will be required to buy under
short-term debt arrangements the
appliances they could have financed
under long-term mortgage condi
tions previously. Specific items in
this category are stoves, dis
hwashers, trash compactors and gar
bage disposals.
“Other standard items, such as
fireplaces, patios and walkways, will
become optional, extra-cost fea
tures,” says Sindt. “More cabinetry
will be factory-built and delivered to
the house for installation.”
Landscaping, lawn sodding and
underground utilities are likely to
become extra-cost options, he pre
dicted.
Some housing changes will occur
because of advances in design and
others because of the changing qual
ity of materials. More attention will
be given to housing designs using
space more efficiently.
Texas home buyers of the future
will see quality in heavier insulation
and orientation of the home on the
lot to use the sun, shade and other
natural factors more efficiently.
“More efficient heating, ventilat
ing and air conditioning systems are
currently available, ” said the real es
tate researcher, “and informed home
buyers will compare the efficiency
ratings of the installed appliances to
reduce the life-cycle costs of home
ownership. ”
Cocka-doodle-doo
Experimental animals tested for arterial schlerosk
By EDITH CHENAULT
You’re walking down Ireland
Street and you hear a rooster crow
ing. No, you’re not going crazy. The'
sound is coming from that white
building over there. But, what is it?
“It” is one of the experimental
roosters located in one of the
barrack-type buildings that line Ire
land Street behind the Printing
Center. The roosters are owned by
Dr. Clifford Sherry, a biology de
partment professor, and are part of
his experimental work.
Part of his work is with the study of
the neurochemical basis for aggres
sive behavior. It seems that when
mice are placed in separate pens
where they can still see each other, it
causes a permanent change in the
neurochemicals in the brain that
stimulate aggressive behavior. The
main purpose of this experiment is to
find out if roosters isolated in this
manner will be affected the same
way.
Another experiment of Sherry’s
also involves chickens. In poultry
there is a pecking order much like a
caste system in humans. Ordinarily,
a chicken that is at the lower end of
the pecking order can avoid those
higher than him and there is very
little stress placed on that chicken,
mentally or physically. Sherry places
newborn chickens in a cage where it
is difficult for any of the chickens to
avoid one another. The purpose of
this is to see whether the stress
placed on the chickens could cause
arterial sclerosis, or a hardening of
the walls of the arteries. There are
two sets of birds; one set is fed a high
cholesterol diet, and the other set is
not. This enables Sherry to judge
whether it is the high stress factor or
the diet causing the sclerosis. The
chickens will hopefully serve as a
basis to judge whether the stress fac
tor is what causes arterial sclerosis in
humans.
Sherry is conducting a similar
study with white mice. They are
placed in close quarters like the
chickens and fed the same type of
diet. Like the chickens, they will be
killed and the interior of their ar
teries examined.

Overcrowding
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The number
of federal prisoners has reached a
record high and prisons are crowded
22 per cent beyond the capacity they
were built to hold, Atty. Gen. Ed
ward H. Levi says.
Levi said Sunday that as of March
7, the total had reached 26,047. The
previous record was 25,355 in June
1962, he said.
Levi said the number of federal
prisoners increased by 3,000 in the
year ending March 7. But two-thirds
of the increase has occurred since
Jan. 1, he said in a statement.
The facilities were built to hold
21,322 inmates, and the current
population is 22 per cent more than
capacity.
Norman A. Carlson, director of
the Federal Bureau of Prisons, noted
that the increase is part of a nation
wide trend which also has left many
state prisons overburdened.
Some state prison systems are
under court orders to remedy over
crowded conditions. Officials at
some overcrowded state prisons
have refused to accept additional
inmates, and this has caused serious
overcrowding at many local jails.
Carlson said nearly 250,000 per
sons were imprisoned in state and
federal institutions on Jan. I,
24,000 more than thefigurea
earlier.
Carlson attributed the inerm
rising crime rates, increasesii
number of prosecutions andcoi
tions and increases in thenaia
and length of prison senten«!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Less
than a month ago the Chattanooga
jail was filled to overflowing with 300
prisoners. Sunday there were 7,000
people inside — all free.
The thousands turned out for a last
look at the jail, with its gallows and
dungeons, which is to be de
molished.
An open house invitation pro
duced a line stretching at times dur

outside the 1886 structure.
One woman glanced into a cell
where water trickled down the
rusted and blackened walls.
