Nothing gets a good thing going better than
Tequila Sauza. That's because Sauza is the Numero
Uno Tequila in all of Mexico. And that's because
Tequila Sauza —Silver or Gold—does best all the
things anybody would want Tequila to do.
Try it the classic down-Mexico way: in a shot
glass, with salt and lime on the side. Or in a
Margarita. Or in a Sunrise. Who knows where it
will all lead?
Danskins are for everywhere and everyone.
For partying and playing, exercising and
dancing, and for just plain wearing around.
Made of 100% easy care nylon.
Available in a rainbow of colors and
a multitude of styles
at these Parklane Stores.

The chairman of the local
chapter of the National
Chicano Health Organiza-
tion (NCHO) resigned her
position Sept. 24. Cynthia
Palacios, former chairman
of theclub, said shewas not
attending classes here.
Ninfa Cantu, vice chairman,
assumed the position of
chairman.
NCHO will meet at 2 p.m.
Wednesday in the Bluebon-
net Room of Loftin Student
Center.
“Our main function is to
help each other find out
about scholarships in the
medical field. We also try to
raise funds for trips and
a job, must move to a differ-
ent part of the country to do
so. They can take their chil-
dren out of school causing
enrollments to drop,” Nickle
explained.
A major problem lecturers
face is the lack of office
space.
“This is a problem here.
Since I do not have an office,
I have to make special ar-
rangements to meet with
students. Many of the regu-
lar faculty have been helpful.
They let me use their office
for consultation with stu-
dents.” Nickle said.
Nickle has applied at other
colleges and universities for
employment, but this job will
fill the vacuum until some-
thing comes up.

More than 400 students
are being tutored here this
semester, the head of the
tutoring program said.
“We are only about one
month into our tutoring
program, and the enrollment
already has-equaled that of
all of last spring semester,”
Tommy Scrivano said.
Scrivano said the 50 tutors
the program has are not
enough to handle the de-
mand.
“Right now we have about
20 people who are waiting to
be tutored in general physics
and chemistry,” Scrivano
said.
Scrivano said mathema-
tics is the area with the
largest number of particip-
ants, with 182 being tutored.
“In the near future there
will be some math tutoring at

The condition of the
economy and the large
number of unemployed
teachers throughout the
country have forced many
teachers to seek temporary
employment.
Forty-two
teachers, called lecturers,
are teaching here this fall.
Dr. Barry H. Nickle, profes-
sor of history, is one of these
lecturers. He lists several
reasons for taking this posi-
tion and some of the prob-
lems that accompany it.
“I took a position of tem-
porary employment because
I needed a job. I hope this
position becomes full-time
in the future, and I think it
will,” Nickle said.

ledge that their instructors
impart to them,” Scrivano
said.
Scrivano said he is sure
there are many theories as to
why this condition exists.
Scrivano pointed out the
growth of colleges becom-
ing institutions of big busi-
ness.
“The growing emphasis
on the value of a college
education has led to the
marketing of college
courses as a commodity,”
Scrivano said.
Scrivano said this growth
leads some students to feel a
sense of being part of a
statistic.
“It is my hope and belief
that peer tutoring will help to
lessen the alienation that a
student encounters between
orientation and graduation,”
Scrivano added.

Scrivano said the tutoring
services probably will not
offer answers to everyone’s
problems who participate.
“What the tutoring prog-
ram does offer the student is
a certain degree of compas-
sion and understanding,”
Scrivano pointed out.
Scrivano said it is valuable
for an understanding to exist
between the student and his
teacher.
"I have found most college
instructors are more than
willing to help their students
with any problems they
might have in learning asub-
ject,” Scrivano said.
“However, there appears
to be some kind of stigma at-
tached to college instructors
that keeps many students
from receiving the know-

because of job market
versify of Texas at San An-
tonio does not decrease the
enrollment here, many
teachers who are temporary
now probably will be hired
on a full-time basis,” he con-
tinued.
Nickle said the economy is
one reason for the over-
abundance of teachers.
“When a company such as
Lockheed closes, a dual
problem occurs.
“First, many of its emp-
loyes are highly professional
people, scientists, and en-
gineers. These people are
qualified to teach and many
of them do seek employment
as teachers.
‘‘Second, these unem-
ployed people, in looking for
workshops related to health
careers,” Adolph Lopez, fa-
culty adviser to the organi-
zation, said.
‘‘We are basically an
information-based organi-
zation. In other words, we
seek information concern-
ing areas in the medical
field to pass on to others,”
he said.
So far areas of interest in
the group include phar-
macy, respiratory therapy,
social work, nursing and
pre-med.
The club is still in its plan-
ning and organizing stages.
