Twisting was the main attraction at the informal Phi Alpha Tau
Sweetheart Dance held on Saturday, February 3.
Two “old broken down actors,” according to the script decide to
portray God and the devil in the play J. B. to be presented next week-
end. Carl Atkins, left, plays God, while Allen Holley, right plays the
devil. In the second picture, Mr. Holley tries to show J. B., Ron Lucke,
what will happen if he follows the advice of God.

Drury Folk Dancers
Receive Invitation
From Austin Groups
The SAC Folk Dance group has
been invited to appear at the an-
nual International Dance Festival
sponsored by the International
Club of the Student Union of the
University of Texas, March 21.
Dances presented last year in-
cluded those of Germany, Thai,
land, Latin America, Indonesia,
Arab Countries, Scotland, India,
United States, Mexico, China, Rus-
sia, Spain, Hawaii, and Yugoslavia.
SAC students include first sem-
ester students as well as sopho-
mores. They were selected for
their ability and interest in folk
dancing. The group of 24 will do
Krakoviak, the national dance of
Poland, and the German dance
Kreuz Koenig.
Mrs. Nelda Drury is in charge
of the program. In 1960, the group
traveled to Washington D. C. for
the National Folk Dance Festival.

Alpha Sigma Kappa
Chooses Officers
For Spring Term
Alpha Sigma Kappa, together
with the National Science Founda-
tion, and the local chapter of the
American Chemical Society, spon-
sored a talk by Dr. John F. Bax-
ter, Professor of Chemistry at the
University of Florida, on the prob-
lems and techniques Involved in
teaching chemistry by television.
Cundiff Guest Speaker
At Business Meeting
Accounting students as well
Beta Sigma Alpha members heard
an enlightening talk on income
taxes by Mr. Herman Cundiff, a
Certified Public Accountant, at
the February meeting of the SAC
girls business club.
Cynthia Dean was selected pro-
gram chairman for the spring term
at this meeting also.
This March, as in years past, the
club will sponsor a Business
Machines Show in the Ballroom
for the benefit of interested stu-
dents and teachers.
. Beta Sigma Alpha meetings for
the spring term will be on the
first Monday of the month. All in-
terested girls are invited to join.
When the more than 60 special
music students complete registra-
tion, spring enrollment figures at
San Antonio College will exceed
the 7,000 mark.
A total of 2,520 day students
crowded the SAC halls and Stu-
dent Center to register for classes
from January 29 through Feb-
ruary 7. This number did not in-
clude the special music students
who were expected to sign up for
classes. Last year’s spring term
enrollment totaled only 1,989.
. The figure of 2,520 includes 500
transfer and new students. The
fall semester saw an increase of
700 students over last year’s total.
Enrollment at SAC, as well as
other colleges, usually falls off in
the spring, but the Evening Divi-
sion set an unheard of record
when 4,455 registered as opposed
to 4,352 in the fall and a mere
4,080 in the spring of 1961.

In order to help girls decide
which sorority to join, Dr. Mor-
rison sponsored a combined rush
party, which was held in the
Shangri-La Ballroom on February
7. At this social prospective rushees
met all sorority members and vis-
ited with each club.
The highlight of the rush party
was the presentation of a short
skit by each sorority. Three Alpha
Delta Phi members presented a
pantomime to “The Great Pre-
tender.” Beta Alpha Omega girls
modeled fashions from the 19th
century. Pi Gamma Phi members
pantomimed to “My Boomerang
Won’t Come Back,” Rho Delta Chi
presented the origin of the twist,
Sigma Phi Alpha Tau showed a
honeymoon wardrobe, and Theta
Kappa Chi girls presented a dance
routine.
ABP’s Name Little
As Olub Sweetheart
AS Valentine Ball
Amid angel hair clouds, red
satin heart pillows, and a brilliant
red cupid which hung from the
ceiling, Ladd Little was crowned
“Sweetheart of the Alpha Delta
Phi Sorority for 1961-62.”
Parading beneath a six-foot-high
red heart which represented Val-
entine’s Day were Phil Montalbo,
Ches Conant, and John Seffel, who
were named as mascots of the
sorority. Preceeding the announce-
ments of the sweetheart and the
mascots, the officers of the soror-
ity passed under the heart, as their
names were called. The young wo-
men each carried a long-stemmed
red carnation.
Punch and cookies were also in
line with the Valentine theme. Red
Hawaiian punch was served to-
gether with white cookies which
were placed upon red dinner nap-
kins.
Throughout the dance the “Blue
Diamonds” entertained the “Twist
Lovers” with frequent songs to
which the dance could be done.

Morrison Sponsors Rush Parly
As Prelude Io Spring Pledging
The San Antonio College campus has been “all shook
up” this week as the six girls’ social clubs have once more
put their pledges through varied antics. Tuesday and
Wednesday, February 13 and 14, were the days designated
by Dr. Lois Morrison for pledging to be carried out.
On these days pledges wore wild
costumes, catered strictly to old
members, and tried to remember
everything they were supposed
to.
Sincerely,
Edwin Keasler

Please be sure, in the next is-
sue of The Ranger, to thank the
Student Council members who
volunteered to help us with the
Night School registration.
On February 21, 22, 23 at
8.00 p.m., the SAC Speech and
Drama department will present
the Broadway play, J. B. by Ar-
chibald MacLeish, as its first pro.-
duction of the spring semester.
J. B. is a story of Job, modernized
and dramatized by MacLeish. It
concerns itself with the story of
man and his eternal relationship
with his God. The story has been
modernized to the point that the
disasters which befall Job
modern disasters, such as
wrecks and atomic attack,
even with these changes, MacLeish
has retained the basic conflict of
the Bible story and added to its
impact by recreating the tale in
verse. It is a modern story of mod-
ern man dealing with an eternal
problem.
The cast includes Carl Atkins,
who plays Mr. Zeus and produces
and directs the play; Allen Holley
who portrays Nichols and is also
the designer; Ron Lucke as Mr.
J. B., Mrs. Martha McDaniel, cos-
tumes designer; Ellen Maley, stage
manager; Karen Bremer, set con-
struction; and William Johnson,
lighting.
Also acting in the play will be
Susan Cullum, Matt Tracy, Bill
Denton, Debbie Ewing, George
Keith, Sharon Isaacs, Peggy Tra-
han, Wilma Coffee, Patrica Perk-
ins, Bettye Booth, Evelyn McCol-
lum, and Monty Zingerle.
Not only will teachers and stu-
dents from SAC and persons from
the immediate area have an op-
portunity to attend the play but
also teachers who are in San An-
tonio and attending the Texas
Junior College Teachers Conven-
tion.
On registration day, students
were given activity cards. This
will be the first occasion this sem-
ester when SAC students will be
able to attend a play by showing
their activity cards.
