With the absence of athletic
scholarships and the loss of
Heep and Trevino to the pros a
big question mark looms over
the team on whether they can
still play competitive ball in the
upcoming seasons. There is no
lack of enthusiasm on any of
our teams, and competition
here at St. Mary's whether it be
beer drinking or team sports for
competition is our trademark.

team ended a record season
with a third place finish in the
NAIA Area II Playoffs. The
Rattlers established a school
record for victories in a season
by compiling a 34-11 mark. St.
Mary's qualified for post season
play by capturing the Big State
Conference title. The team
sustained only one loss in
conference play at the hands of
Southwestern University. St.
Mary's avenged last year's loss
at the hands of Sam Houston
State by downing the Bearkats
to capture the district champ-
ionship. The Snakes won the
first game 9-3 behind the arm of
senior Bob Wagner. The Rattler
offense generated 5 runs in the
first 4 innings to seal the
victory. Paul Tejeda,
shortstop, led a tenacious
defense and batted for 3 for 4
with 3 RBIs. In the second
game, senior Conrad Perez
hurled 7 strong innings allowing
only two runs to earn the
victory. Danny Heep came in
pitch perfect ball the final two
innings t,o notch the save.
Senior Marty Zolkowski hit a
solo homer in the 2nd inning
and drove in 2 runs with a single
in the fourth to score the Rattler
runs and advance the Snakes to
the NAIA Area II Playoffs.

offering a new placement
service designed to assist both
alumni and prospective employ-
ers.
Alumni eligible for assistance
are those who have been
graduated for one year or
longer.
The student placement office
at St. Mary's will continue to
serve newer graduates.
Assistance offered by the
new Alumni Placement Service
includes career counseling,
vocational testing, help in pre-
paring resumes, guidance in
developing effective techniques
for jobhunting and direct
referrals to prospective employ-
ers.
Wes Looney, for the past
three years the assistant direc-
tor of St. Mary's Career Plan-
ning and Placement Office, has
been named director of Alumni
Placement. His experience in-
cludes personnel, sales and
credit management positions
and college instruction in career
selection and development.
Looney said the new service
should be of great help to em-
ployers looking for experienced
personnel.
He said the new service for
alumni stems from a growing
tendency of college graduates
out of school for varying
periods to feel the need for
career counseling and place-
ment assistance when reevalua-
ting their career goals and
prospects.
"Often in the '60's and early
'70's," Looney said, "graduates
eager to enter the job market
gave little thought to planning a
career or to whether a particular
line of work would suite them
indefinitely or compensate them
sufficiently.
"We look forward to serving
alumni regardless of how many
years have elapsed since they
graduated. We hope also to
hear from employers in the San
Antonio are and beyond who
would like us to work on their
personnel needs."
Interested St. Mary's gradu-
ates and prospective employers
may obtain further information
about the service from Wes
Looney, phone 436-3132.
