When it comes to helpful people, there just aren’t any
that can top the staff volunteers. These students type, run
errands, file, and do the countless other odd jobs that are
necessary to keep the newspaper and yearbook function-
ing. Some of the volunteers have been given stories or
headlines to write and they have shown enthusiasm and
talent.
The editors of El Alamo and The Ranger wish to thank
sincerely all who have served as volunteers during the
past term. We hope that you will register for journalism
301, 101, or 102 and continue to improve your journalistic
• ability in the spring semester.

This year opened with a whirl of contests, both local
and national. The pleasant news is that SAC claims win-
ners in several of these competions. First, there is Dr. Lois
Morrison’s award for being the outstanding career woman
of 1962. Then, a number of female Publications staff
notices are still arriving, a com-
plete list of names is not yet
available.
A recent contest winner repre-
senting SAC, Maxine Weynand,
now a Texas University student,
was aboard the Fiesta Association’s
float in the Tournament of Roses

'We modern students have a luckless heritage, thrust
upon us at birth, of a world basically unfit for living—or
dying! Ours is the burden of possible thermonuclear war,
the threat of totalitarian communism, racial violence and
disorder, the problem of the civil rights of the states, and
how to bring about a workable world order. Above all,
we have a large group of lackadaisical adults given to all
forms of sloth, inaction and other forms of pestilence
to a functioning democratic state.
All across the nation campuses are filled with the
hustle of students who hope, by political activity and
effectiveness, to bring some light into the world. The new
student has found the old solutions to the world’s prob-
lems, which are no longer effective, thrust upon him, and
has sought to express his opinion through the democratic
process of letter writing, group discussion, voting, public
surveys, and direct action.
Everywhere, forums, groups, and committees of stu-
dents—conservative, liberal, or don’t-give-a-flip—are form-
ing for discussion and action.
The new student has initiated an age of a more vital

DO NOT TOUCH
Ah, ha! I surmised. My search had ended. No
doubt the precision machinery encased within this
box discharged the unknown and deadly ray. I
dared to touch it. Nothing happened. I questioned,
a nearby student about the box; he informed me
that it was merely a wooden pedestal painted a
light grey upon which student sculptures were dis-
played. I had made a rash conclusion. Disheartened,
I walked up the stairs and gazed disinterestedly at
the square lighting fixtures on the second floor ceil-
ing. The divans, situated in an inviting manner in.
the lobby-gallery, compelled me to fight a tempta-
tion to rest awhile. More diverting tactics, I thought.
At the railing which faced the entrance, I viewed,
the pleasant surroundings of the neighorhood. I no-
ticed what I supposed to be an empty fish pond to
the west side of the building’s entrance. The janitor
verified my supposition. He told me that the pond
had once been filled with water, gold fish, plants,
and indirect lighting; but three years ago it had.
gotten to be a full-time job keeping it clean, so the
pond had to be drained permanently. School kids
and students from the college had repeatedly clut-
tered it with paper cups, scraps of paper, and other
paraphernalia. I asked what happened to the gold,
fish, and he said slyly that they had been delicious,
broiled.
I wandered about the gallery in search of clues.
I scrutinized the architectural displays: drawings and-
exhibits upon partitions, scale models on tables. Mr.
Vernon Helmke, the Architectural Department
head, came around the corner, and I questioned him.
about the exhibits. He explained that the displays
encourage a student to do his best since he knows
that his architectural assignments will be shown,
and criticized in this most ideal of surroundings.
I proceeded to the southwest wing of the gal-
lery; on the wall to my left more architectural crea-
tions greeted me. I could now sense that I was clos-
ing in on the culprit. To my right were the long
rows of tables which served as a study area, and

and spacious lobby. To my right, stairways parted
leading to the second floor; at the foot of the stairs,
an oblong box puzzled me. It displayed a flagrant
sign:

tured in this issue of The Ranger.

The savage onslaught continued to be unrelent-
ing; and standing a short distance away from the
intriguing structure, I wondered if I would be able
to detect whoever or whatever was responsible for
the endless massacre. I surveyed the terrain slowly,
hoping that I might glimpse a clue; to my dismay
I observed only parking spaces filled with cars and
several varieties of trees on the nicely-landscaped
hilltop. The ivy clinging to the red brick wall
hadn’t yet reached the half-way mark; this clearly
indicated the building’s age. As I ascended cau-
tiously, it did not seem conceiveable to me that this
modern building with its touch of simple elegance
housed a killer, but the evidence was insurmount-
able. Lurking somewhere in its recesses, waiting
with all the cunning of a seasoned criminal, he, she,
or it defied apprehension.
Glistening in the noonday sun, the glass-walled
entrance seemed inviting enough, but this was no
doubt a subterfuge to distract the wary. In my pre-
occupation, I failed to notice the waxed marble
steps, and I slipped. I. fortunately managed to main-
tain my balance and proceeded upward once more.
Was the janitor an accomplice? Had some sort of
conspiracy been formed? Quizzically, I nodded: per-
haps.
A metal plaque to the right of the entrance
caught my eye and I sidled over to it. It read:
