THE SAMI
MAKEOVER
When Tracy Haegelin first came to San Antonio Models, she
didn't look like a model. But we could see potential... the start-
ing point of d truly beautiful face. So, she enrolled in SAMI's pro-
fessional modeling course. Now, with a number of modeling
jobs available to her, Tracy has developed the confidence and
poise SAMI tries so hard to achieve.
Even if you aren't looking for a professional modeling career,
don't pass up the chance to perfect your style and appear-
ance. San Antonio's leading models and make-up artists teach
several courses at our school. We know you'll fit into one of
them... beautifully. a

However, the Venezuelan government

“All the French classes made it this

teacher. We had a very good registration

The United Methodist Student Center will sponsor a forum on
“What We Want in a New College President’ at noon Feb. 6 in the
Coffeehouse of Loftin Student Center.
Panelists are Dr. Jay Benedict, associate dean; John Steen
Jr. and John Courage, members of the board of trustees; David San-
chez, mathematics professor; and Dr. Marcia Epner, chairman of
reading and education. Dr. David Semrad, Methodist Student Center
director, will moderate the panel.
Officials attend meeting
Dr. Jerome Weynand, district president; Dr. Truett L. Chance,
dean of this college; and Dr. John B. Murphy, dean of St. Philip’s
College, attended the winter conference of the Texas Public Com-
munity/Junior College Association in Austin Monday and Tuesday.
Included in conference activities was a reception with Texas
legislators of the 67th Legislature now in session.
TPCJCA presented a plaque to Weynand recognizing his work with
the state association. Weynand, a former TPCJCA president, will
leave his post here Feb. 28.
Nursing applications due
Applications to enter the nursing program for the fall semester
due Sunday.
Dr. Hector Gonzalez, nursing chairman, said applications can be
dropped off in Room 107 of the nursing education building. The
room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday but closed
during the noon hour for lunch, he added.
About 300 applications usually are turned in for the 150 places to be
filled. “But not all the applicants meet the criteria,” Lillian Taubert,
assistant nursing chairman, said.
Faculty Senate will meet
The Faculty Senate will hold its first meeting of the semester at 2
p.m. Wednesday in Room 301 of Moody Learning Center.
Barry Welch, chairman of the Faculty Senate, said Ignacio
Noguera, the new Affirmative Action officer, will speak at the
meeting. Welch also said committee reports will be included on the
agenda.
“When the 52 hostages were first cap-
tured by the Iranians, we wrote letters to
Khomeini. But we did not ‘adopt’ the
hostages as they were adopted by the
people everywhere,” Lutz explained.
Lutz discussed how she became in-
volved with Amnesty International.
“I lived in Uruguay and watched the
political and social deterioration in 1973
after the military intervention. I went
back in 1978 and figured the best way to
help the people was through Amnesty In-
ternational. We give the political
prisoners hope by corresponding with
them.”

MAN-WOMAN, SEXUALITY,
WHOLENESS, EQUALITY, MUTUALITY.
One would think these are slogans for
feminist movements. Actually, they are
New Testament images of woman-man
relationships. Too many of us have been
led to think that the only biblical image is
one described in Ephesians 5:22: "Wives,
be subject to your husbands...” Certainly
it is part of the scriptures, but there is
enough evidence to claim it was not writ-
ten by the Apostle Paul, rather ascribed
■ to his authorship. From my biblical
studies, Paul would not have claimed the
Ephesians image of male loving domina-
tion over subordinate female. Rather in I
Corinthians 7, Paul illuminates male-
female relationships in his discussion of
sex in marriage.
First, the Apostle Paul claims that sex-
ual love is a meaningful part of marriage
and only authentic in marriage. (For those
experiencing the emptiness of casual sex
in these times of sexual freedom, single
adults are rediscovering a fundamental
biblical truth of commitment and self-
worth.) Secondly, Paul insists that neither
partner impose him/herself on the other
in a way that would sexually exploit the
other. Verses 4-5 speak of the human
value that sex must be a share relation-
ship between two persons of equal stan-
ding in mutual decision-making. And,
thirdly, it is interesting to note that-Paul
writes of sexual fulfillment as an impor-
tant aspect of marriage without appealing
to “procreation” to justify its significance.
Sexual enjoyment is a gift of creation, but
like all gifts it is to be used responsibly.
MAN-WOMAN, SEXUALITY,
WHOLENESS, EQUALITY, MUTUALITY.
It’s a biblical image. May it liberate us to
mutual respect, love and faithfulness.
