Dear Editor,
In recent days, there has
been a considerable amount of
discussion about the work
study program and how it is
administered here at St.
Mary's.
I thought perhaps fellow
students might be interested
in how the program is imple-
mented at other campuses in
San Antonio.
Trinity University, Our
Lady of the Lake University,
and Incarnate Word College
pay the minimum federal
wage of $3.10 an hour. While
classes are in session, stud-
ents are restricted to a maxi-
mum of 20 hours per week and
can work 40 hours between
semesters and during breaks.
This 20 hour restriction, inci-
dentally, is a federal restric-
tion. SAC also pays $3.10 an
hour. The number of hours a
student is allowed to work
depends upon his financial aid
package.
The University of Texas,
San Antonio [are you ready for
this?] pays $3.30 an hour for
undergraduates and $3.55 for

Dear Editor:
On November 4, we the
American people will be elect-
ing a person to run for the
highest office in this nation, as
well as electing others at the
state and local levels. Let us
not forget that our vote does
count. Winning by a single
vote myself in 1978, I realize
every vote counts. I hear
many people say, "I just don't
know if I'm going to vote this
time. I'll try to vote in the
next election.'' Folk's, it is
apathy that kills dreams and
hopes for the future. Your
vote is the voice of the people,
and it is your right and
priviledge. Let's all work
together, in getting the vote
out this November 4. Mark
your calenders and remind
your friends. Do not allow
someone else to make the
decision for you. Vote
America, it's your choice I

The Student Senate filled
five vacancies last Tuesday,
Sept. 16, by appointing one
sophomore, one junior and
three law students to the
SENATE. Theresa Ulcak is
the new sophomore senator
and Eric Burley is the new
junior senator. The law school
senators are Catherine
Chemill, Janet Olson, and
Keith Hoelob.
Volunteers then signed up
for the Senate Discipline and
Food Committees. The of-
ficers reported that planning
for the revitalization of the
SUB is continuing. Also,
planning is continuing on a
Senate-sponsored ski trip.

graduates. Undergraduates
are restricted to 15 hours a
week and graduates to 19
hours. These hours can be
extended, but special approv-
al is required.
One need not be an account-
ing or business major to draw
the obvious conclusion.
I realize that I am one very
small fly in the work study
ointment; for the very reason
that, like that fly, I could
easily be squashed, I ask that
my identity not be revealed.

THE RATTLER Sept. 24, 1980
Letters to the Editor
with a winning attitude.
However, the students who
are not participating in these
programs have failed to sup-
port their teams.
Example, the Rattler soccer
team is undefeated with a 7-0
record. Even so, the at-
tendance at games has been
extremely small. We can
almost take a count by merely
using our fingers
Example number 2. The
Lady Rattlers' volleyball team
is nationally ranked with a
13-2-1 record. Support for
them is close to that of the
soccer team. The Lady
Rattlers' softball team is 6-2
and still no support from St.
Mary's students.
Maybe the school should do
away with all of these sports,
but then students and staff
would be complaining about
school spirit. This week the
teams will be playing out of
town, but they will be return-
ing to play here at St. Mary's
[on campus,] next week.
The soccer team will be
playing Wednesday afternoon
at 5 p.m. against the Uni-
versity of Texas Longhorns
from Austin in a rivalry that
has been strong for years. It
would be nice to see a large
crowd on hand at the soccer
field to support the team.
The games are free to
students since they pay a
student activity fee at regi-
stration. Why waste your
activity fee when you can go
out and have an exciting time
while you support the soccer,
volleyball, and softball teams?
We hope to see more of you
there.
Is The Rattler Really Necessary?
The official minutes from the meeting held by the Board of
Trustees on September 12 were released last Friday. The
minutes state some very important decisions concerning the
future of the university
The official list of presidential candidates has finally been
announced. The candidates are Bro. Charles J. Cummiskey,
S.M., Rev. J. Willis Langlinais, S.M., Rev. David J. Paul,
S.M., and Rev. Thomas A. Stanley, S.M. An interview process
will take place in November for the candidates.
A report on the findings of the Accreditation Committee of the
American Bar Association concerning the corrective actions to
be taken to comply with the accreditation requirements for the
Law School was presented by Dean James Castleberry along
with a discussion as to how the university could satisfy those
requirements within its financial capabilities.
Also discussed was a letter written to the members of the Board
of Trustees by the Faculty Senate regarding an evaluation of
the Vice President of Financial Administration.
Donald K. Ryckman was unanimously reappointed as Vice
President of Public Affairs for a new three-year term and a
search committee for a new Vice President of Financial
Administration was formed.
It is obvious that these items concern and affect each student
at St. Mary’s as beneficiaries and as members of the university.
Shortly after receiving the minutes, the Rattler made
appointments with Fr. Young and Mr. Lemoine to learn about
their impressions (already one week after the meeting had
taken place), to accurately inform the university community of
what changes are taking place, and most importantly to clarify
rumors that were circulating on campus concerning these
matters.
Last Monday however, shortly before attending our
appointments, The Rattler received phone calls from the offices
of the President and Financial Administration cancelling our
appointments. Other administrators were either unavailable or
refused to comment on the meeting.
So, where does this leave The Rattler? So, where does this
leave the St. Mary’s student who has a right to know what is
happening? It seems that the administration feels that a
simple, insufficiently informative piece of paper(to which all
students do not have easy access), is more than enough.
A number of questions have remained unanswered because
of this situation. Why was Father Adolph Windisch not on the
list of presidential candidates? Why did the faculty senate want
an evaluation of Mr. Lemoine? Will Mr. Lemoine remain in
office until the end of the month, the end of the semester or the
end of the academic year? Besides Bro. Cummiskey and Fr.
Langlinais, who are the two other candidates for president of
the university? None of these questions have been able to
receive an answer so far.
Administrators may keep a busy schedule and some
information may need to remain confidential, but students have
a right to know what is happening in the university
environment. Aren’t we students the most important
components of St. Mary’s University?
If the Rattler will not be granted some respect and
consideration by the administration, its whole purpose of
existence as an instrument to inform and serve the St. Mary’s
community will be useless. In the meantime, let the rumors
continue.
