The Veterans Association
is sponsoring a blood drive
from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday
and Tuesday.
In order to avoid long wait-
ing lines, thisyear’sdrive will
be in the Fiesta Room of Lof-
tin Student Center.

and his immediate family for

Jackie Lloyd, a new in-
structor here, accompanies
five students to class each
day.
They are deaf, and Lloyd
has joined the faculty as an
interpreter for deaf persons.
She attends the class and
interprets what the teacher is
saying in sign, language to
her students.
One instructor who prac-
tices what she teaches is
Barbara Hunt.
As a part-time instructor in
the law enforcement prog-
ram at this college, she
teaches community rela-
tions.
As a detective for the city’s
police department, she car-
rk 3 her services into the
community by speaking be-
fore groups about the rape
problem.
The only woman detective
on the force, Hunt handles
mainly cases of rape and
child abuse.

firm the antecedent.
“When you affirm the con-
sequent and then affirm the
antecedent, your statement
will always be invalid,” Mur-
guia added.
Murguia did not have
enough time to discuss the
categorical syllogism in
depth. He spoke mostly
about the non-categorical
syllogims because most
compositions are written as
such.
“Most compositions are
based on non-categorical
syllogisms,” he said.
Murguia said he teaches
logic to his English classes
because most students re-
peat themselves rather than
prove an idea.
The BEOG application has
no deadline, but he advises
that it be turned in as early as
possible.
The deadline includes all
financial aid applications of-
fered except the Basic Edu-
cation Opportunity Grant

"Deaf students are as
eager to learn as any hearing

A systematic approach to
logic can be used in compos-
itional writing, an English
professor here said at a
recent meeting at Incarnate
Word College.
Raul Murguia,spokeatthe
Mid-Winter Workshop of the
San Antonio Area Council of
Teachers of English.
“A systematic approach to
logic, if it is given enough
time with the students, can
be used in compositional
writing,” he said.
Murguia explained some
basics of logic of non-
categorical and categorical
syllogisms.
“A syllogism is simply an
argument, or basically a
series of arguments, leading
to a conclusion,” Murguia
said.
The conjunctive syllogism
is in the non-categorical di-

Testing hours will be from
5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday
and Wednesday in room 208
of Fletcher Administration
Center.
"Ifthedemand is made, we
will add additional testing
hours. The program has
been very sucessful, and at
the time we have the person-
nel to take care of increasing
demands,” she said.
Sigman said the program
was available on campus on
a more limited basis for sev-
eral years but in the fall of
1973, there was a need to in-
crease the services.
This college is reimbursed
by the state government for
the number of contact hours
it has.
Contact hours are the
hours that a student makes
contact with a teacher.
An example of this would
be a student who has a
three-hour course in En-
glish. He would have three
contact hours, Belling-
hausen said.

“What I find in many stu-
dent compositions is, instead
of proving an idea, they just
repeat it,” he said.
He also believes many stu-
dent do not know what to
say, and perhaps teachers
should give more ideas and
less grammer.
“The problem is not with
the writing itself. They just
don’t have anything to say,"
he said. “Perhaps we give
them too much grammer and
not enough ideas."
Murguia admitted that not
everyone could use this ap-
proach.
“Probably logic is not for
everyone in a systematic
way,” he said. “I think that
most English teachers are
not adequately trained in
logic to be comfortable in it.”
“It is a new experience
teaching deaf college stu-
dents,” she said. “These
young people are bright and
intelligent. All they need is
someone to help them.”
Before this college had an
interpreter, two or three deaf
students came to school
here.
A teacher can talk to deaf
students without an interpre-
ter, but it slows down the
class. She has to repeat over
and over again so they can
read her lips, Lloyd said.
With an interpreter they
are able to read sign lan-
guage and follow what the
teacher says more rapidly,
she said.
“This new help for deaf
students is a wonderful thing
this college is doing. It is a
program that could really
grow with the college,”
Lloyd said.

high school student to go

education, she said.
time, although she was not
the first in the city.
“And I was the only woman
hired for 14 years after-
ward,” she said.
Her first job was in the
women’s section of the jail,
then in the juvenile office.
“Because that was what
women did in police work.
“In those days, there were
no women pulling patrol
work.”
Today, the situation is
changing.
“Now the city has five
patrolwomen. The depart-
ment started to change its
philosophy of women in
vision. Its key concept is
“and.” All parts in this kind
of statement must be true in
order for the entire state-
ment to be true.
“Each of them actually can
be reduced to a single rule,”
he said. “Each part must be
true if the statement is true.
“The rule implies that
whenever any single element
in the statement is false, the
whole statement is false,” he
added.
Murguia added that in
logical! conclusions must be
valid.
“In logic you are always
looking for a decisive con- ■
elusion,” he said.
The key concept of the dis-
junctive syllogism, also in
the non-categorical divi-
sion, is “or.”
“One statement governs
how the disjunctive operates.
One part of the disjunctive
syllogism must be true for
the statement to be true,”
he said.
Murguia added that the
disjunctive acts in three
parts.
“The disjunctive always
acts in three parts (state-
ments). First you make the
disjunctive statement. The
next thing you must do is to
deny one of the elements.
And then you simply affirm
the statement,” he said.
This process cannot be re-
versed.

Vocational testing will be-
come available to part-time
and evening division stu-
dents at the counseling
center.
Maxine Sigamn, assistant
director of counseling, said
the vocational career testing
program is being enlarged to
include those students who
come to college on a part-
time basis and evening divi-
sion students.
“Many students are un-
able to take advantage of the
opportunties offered by the
testing program. This opens
up new times for them to
come in and see a coun-

Although prices are rising,
it does not look as if tuition
will be raised in the near fu-
ture.
James Bellinghausen, vice
president for administration,
said the building use fee will
be raised only if there is
some major building
construction.
“We are sticking to the $4
per semester hour because
that is what the legislature
says,” Bellinghausen said.
He feels more people
realize they need a college
education to make a decent
living.
“With the way the state of
the economy is, we should
keep it the way it is. This way ;

system. You will always get
an invalid conclusion,” he
said.
The hypothetical syl-
logism also is in the non-
categorical division. Its key
concept is "if.” It also is gov-
erned by one rule.
"There is only one rule that
governs the hypothetical syl-
logism. It is impossible for
the antecedent (cause) to be
true and the consequent (ef-
fect) to be false,” Murguia
said.
"You make the statement.
You affirm the antecedent
and then you affirm the con-
sequences,” he said. “Or
you deny the consequences
and then you deny the an-
tecedent.”
You never can affirm the

"I work the narcotics bur-
eau from time to time, but
not under cover," the mother
of two teenaged boys said.
She also teaches practical
problems in abnormal be-
havior and operates a
breathalizer on the alcohol
safety action project.
The auburn-haired po-
licewoman has been with the
department 15 years and re-
ceived her promotion to de-
tective four years ago.
When she began her
career, she was the only
policewoman hired at that
police work three to fours
years ago.”
She said there is a nation-
wide trend for more women
entering the field.
Of the television series
portrayals, she thinks Angie
Dickinson’s “Policewoman”
and Jessica Walters’ “Amy
Prentiss” are realistic.
"Get Christie Love’ is a lit-
tle more exotic,” she said.
Police cadets, male or
female, must meet the same
requirements for training,
and Hunt agrees with this
philosophy.
“You have to do the same
things in your work. As far as
the physical part goes, we
have men who flunk out on
that, too.”
Today’s women police
cadets have it easier in some
ways than their pre-
decessors.
“They are not going to
have to overcome some of
the apprehension and reluc-
tance to placing women in
police work.
“More and more across
the nation, police admin-
istrators are realizing there is
a place for women. We can
handle ’the profession.”
She stresses that last
word.
"Police work is becoming
more sophisticated in the
way you collect and develop
evidence.
“We have become far
more professional in the last
15-20 years.
"We are being recognized
by other professional groups
as being a profession.
"There are a lot of bright
young people coming into—
police work.”
She thinks as police offic-
ers become more humanly
aware, the public becomes
more appreciative of their
services.
“I think it has improved a
great deal. We certainly
enjoy more esteem than we
did 10 years ago.
“A lot of it is because of
efforts of the police officers
themselves. They are becom-
ing more educated and in-
formed.”
Ability of police officers to
understand differences in
lifestyles and recognize
people’s needs is part of
their job, the said.
“All of us are community
relations agents — we all
deal with people and their
problems.”
