David Garza, association president,
said.
The car wash will cost $1.50 for non-
students and $1 for students and
teachers who hold a valid identification
card. The price will include vacuuming
and drying, Garza said.
The money from the car wash will be
used to set up small no interest loans for

Mike Welch, associate director at the
University of Texas at San Antonio, will
be a guest speaker of the GOAL (Go On
And Learn) group at 1 p.m. Thursday in
the Bluebonnet Room of Loftin Student
Center.
“Mr. Welch will speak about the prog-
rams available to students here who
wish to transfer to UTSA and about
career information,” Maxine Sigman,
assistant director of counseling, said.
The speech presentation is open to all
students.
The GOAL group is concerned with
helping mature female students here
make a smooth transition into college
life.

he added.
The registrar’s office will
be opened from 8 a.m. - 9
p.m. Monday - Thursday. It
will be closed from noon -1
p.m.
Benedict suggested stu-
dents consult a member of
the counseling staff to re-
ceive help in registration.
Those students who pre-
mies by over-taxing, he said.
“If a halt isn’t put to this
soon, we could lose our
economic freedom.”
He also said he disagreed
with allowing governmental
agencies to make their own
financial budgets.
“You can’t read the empty
programs of bureaucrats.”
The senator believes there
are too many loopholes for
these agencies. He does not
believe they should control
public funds.
“The size of federal gov-
ernment budgetary problem
is growing. For the past 39
years we have run into de-
ficit.”
He suggested passing an
appropriation bill to revamp
financing methods. The bill
should stipulate that Con-
gress not overspend the
budget by two-thirds of the
amount, he said.
Ervin called busing tryan-
nical and unconstitutional.
“Under the equal protec-
tion clause no state should
be able to deny a child the
right to go to the school of
his choice.”
“When courts order bus-
ing, they divide a neighbor-
hood into two equal parts. In
identical situations, it denies
an individual the right to at-
tend
school.”
Students should only be
bused to the school, Ervin
said. “No student should be
denied the right to attend a
school because of his race.”
The senator said he be-
lieved in limitation of gov-
ernment by written stan-
dards.
“We ought to look to the

Positive Action Council is sponsoring
the drawing.
Two tickets are available as a result
of faculty contributions totaling $300 to
the symphony. The school’s name will
appear as a sponsor in the symphony
program.
Bella Silverstein will sell student-rate
season tickets for $12.50. The price
represents a 50 percent discount for 14
concerts.
Students who were inelig-
ible for registration for the
fall semester are also ineligi-
ble for the mid-fall term, Be-
nedict said.
A current identification
card with student’s name,
social security number, and
immunization expiration
data must be obtained be-
fore registration. New stu-
dents must mail a transcript
from the last school at-
tended.

Dr. Jim Walls, coordinator
of orientation, and Bob Rod-
gers, instructor in college
reading, are organizing the
seminar.
“Studying is not justashot
in the dark as some students
believe. There are certain
ways one should know how
to study,” Rodgers said.
“The information we will
relate in the seminar is
things that have been care-
fully researched. There are
proven statistics on some of
the best ways to study,” he
added.
Faculty members from tha
reading department will
conduct the study skills
seminar.
Merrie Courtright and
Mary Jane Howe, instruc-
tors; Rodgers and Virginia
Sowells, assistant professor,

different times.
The seminar is the first of
an eight-part series on
human development Walls
has planned.
“I consider these seminars
an adjunct to orientation.
‘‘Instead of prolonging
orientation for a full semes-

some students who don’t
feel are relevant to them, we

“Some people don’t like
for others to have freedoms
so they begin to nibble away
at these freedoms.”
‘‘Public officials, espe-
cially, have a love for power,
and a love to abuse this
power.”
The recent Central Intel-
ligence Agency (CIA) dis-
closures are evidence of the
judgment of constitutional
writers on corruption of
power, Ervin said.
“This proves people can-
not be trusted with unlimited
power. The agency had no
business in Chile, and it has
no right to spy on people.”
Ervin gave other reasons
he believes the constitu-
tional freedoms are in
danger.

If Americans want to con-
tinue to enjoy the economic,
political, intellectual and re-
ligious freedoms provided
for in the constitution, they
must be prepared to fight to
preserve them, a former U.S.
senator said in San Antonio
Monday.

between freedom and
