“They don’t make job offers right

be ringing off the hook,” Neundorf
said.
Neundorf contributes the success
of their student placement to
computer-aided drafting courses the
college offers.
“We are one of the few schools in
the state to offer computer-aided
drafting courses,” he said.
Mark Rusin, sophomore drafting
and design major, said this was “the
biggest opportunity to get a job.
“San Antonio College offers the
best program, the instructors are
good—cooperative and patient,”
Rusin said.

Dorothy Casey, Art League ex-
ecutive secretary, said the items
were stored at Airvan North
American, formerly Merchants
Transfer.
She refused to provide an inven-
tory of the items.
Oppenheimer said the Art League
is responsible for any charges for
the seven-story Moody Learning Center,
where thousands attend classes on the first,
fifth, sixth and seventh floors.
Police have evacuated campus buildings
when such threats have been made. After
the evacuation, they search the building
before allowing students to return to class.
O’Keefe advised students to become aware
of “unusual behavior.”
“Be on the lookout for any suspicious ac-
tivity, especially if a group of disgruntled
students congregate and talk about the over-
throw of the U.S. government,” O’Keefe
advised.*

The 1985 spring issue was edited
by Jack Evans, with Bobby Sanchez
serving as managing editor and Jon
Hawley as news editor. Barbara
Clark, Vaughn Hagerty, Tom Keene,
Dennis Prado and Bill Reinert con-
tributed articles to the issue and An-
thony Padilla, Sanchez and Ana
Venegas served as photographers.
Mike Briere and Martin Cortez con-
tributed art work for the issue.
The 1986 spring issue of the
magazine, scheduled for distribu-
tion in early June, will deal with
issues affecting both the U.S.-
Mexican and U.S.-Canadian borders.
“The students were well prepared
and qualified. The organization
(placement services) did a great job
in setting it up,” Reyes said.
Last year, drafting students receiv-
ed about 175 job offers.
Neundorf said Tuesday he does not
remember the exact figures. He
remembers most of the 175 jobs
were filled.
He said most of the jobs were part
time.
Because San Antonio does not
have one main drafting industry, in-
structors must train students for
several fields.
This general training, in addition
to the computer courses, explains
why this college’s drafting graduates
are so valuable, the chairman said.
Neundorf concluded, “When I see
these students go out and be suc-
cessful, that is my reward.”*
The Ranger, The Fourth Write
Magazine and several journalism
students received awards from the
Texas Intercollegiate Press Associa-
tion and the Texas Community Col-
lege Journalism Association.

were judged.
The Ranger competed in Division
I of the Texas Intercollegiate Press
Association, which included 22 two-
and four-year institutions.
The Ranger placed third in
sweepstakes, an award based on
points accumulated in all awards
categories.
The Shorthorn of the University of
Texas at Arlington took first, and The
Daily Texan of UT-Austin took
second.
The Ranger also was awarded se-

Library declares Amnesty Week
The campus library has declared April
28-May 3 Amnesty Week for students with
overdue books, Margaret Jones, a library
cataloger here for 16 years, said.
“Amnesty Week is an opportunity for
students to return books no matter how late
they are and without paying a fine.”
According to the circulation department’s
fact sheet on the financial effects of overdue
books, it would cost $89,256.02 to replace
them. This figure does not include the cost
of maintaining overdue files, mailing notices,
and staff and computer time.
“We’re more interested in having the
books than the money,” she added.

has no intentions of abandoning his
campaign for the Democratic chair-
manship because of his legal
problems.
“I’m not going to let this get in my
way. I just want to deal with this and
get it off of my back.”
Dr. Walton Crozier, biology pro-
fessor and sponsor of the Agriculture
Club, said his main concern is not
the penalties Turgeon must face, but
the return of the missing funds.
“I don’t know what the fines are in
these cases, but I think returning the
money is the most important
thing.”*

Although a lease on the Koehler
Cultural Center stipulates an
$800-per-month payment, the San
Antonio Art League is paying $600.
The league began paying rent in
January after they removed items
they had placed in storage during
the Symphony Showhouse in May of
1985.
The Koehler family donated the
100-year-old mansion at 310 W.
Ashby Place to the district in the ear-
ly 1970s.
Records from the district’s
business office show the district has
received four $600 payments from
the Art League.
Earlier, the league refused to pay
rent on the center because of securi-
ty problems. The board of trustees
agreed to waive the rent until securi-
ty renovations were completed.
The Art League, was provided of-
fice space in the center for 11 years
“I made the right move at the right
time.”
A former student, 20-year-old
Michael Adams, used this adage to
describe his success in bicycle
racing.
Adams placed seventh this year in
the national road race in California
in the 18 to 34 age category. This is
his highest rating.
In March and April he competed in
the Beatrice Bicycle Classic. This race
ended recently in Austin where
racers competed on a short course
on Sixth Street.
Explaining “the right move,”
Adams said he went with a break
that worked, adding a break is a
small group of riders who attempt to
break away from a main field.
He attended the Olympic training
camp in Colorado during January
and February. At the camp he was
named a member of the U.S. men’s
road B-team.
During the Beatrice race, spon-
sored by Beatrice Foods, racers
finished the 40-mile race in a little
over 1:20:00 averaging just under 30
miles per hour.
Adams finished in the top third of
that race, ranking 51 among 160
riders.
The Beatrice Bicycle Classic,
placing second and third.
Journalism student Tim Green won
first place for newspaper feature
story and first place for magazine
news feature.
Jack Evans and and Bobby Sanchez
took second place in the picture
story category.
Bruce McDougall was awarded
first and third place for special-
effects photography, with Eric
Williams taking second.
Williams also placed second in the
picture story and feature photograph
categories, with Sanchez receiving
an honorable mention for feature
photography.
David Sams received an honorable
mention for news photography; Ana
Venegas took first place for sports
photography.
In the Texas Community College
Journalism Association awards, The
Ranger took the first-place
sweepstakes and the first-place
general excellence awards, with
Amarillo Junior College placing se-
cond. The Ranger also placed first in
the headline category.
The Fourth Write won the first-
place sweepstakes and the first-place
at his level of bicyling because of a
strong local club and guidance from
some experienced racers.
Recalling competing as a junior
rider, Adams said he attempted to
break away from the main field of
riders in the 55-mile race.
“I rode so hard that I had nothing
left and could not pedal anymore.
The result was that I had tired myself
out so much that I could not finish
so I took a nap in the grass instead.”
That unusualness that forced him
to ride so hard in those days is the
same force that has made him
strong enough to become one of the
best bicycle road racers in Texas
Could the college be a target for terrorist
attacks?
Certainly, but college police have a plan to
cope with such activity.
Robert O’Keefe, chief of campus police,
said his staff would act quickly should such
an event happen here.
“We would call the San Antonio Police
Department, the Fire Department, the local
FBI and the bomb disposal unit at Fort Sam
Houston,” O’Keefe said, explaining measures
he would take.
Should a bomb explode where death or in-
jury would occur, O’Keefe said his staff
would first “see to the dead and injured and
establish traffic control.”
The chief said campus officers have not
received special training to cope with ter-
rorist attacks.
“However, we did receive training in ter-
rorist procedures during the Iranian crisis in
1979,” O’Keefe explained.
Most bomb threats here have centered on

free of charge before the lease agree-
ment which was signed in
September of 1985.
The league leases space on the
first, second and third floors, in ad-
dition to six parking spaces.
The lease states the Art League will
pay the district a $9,600 a year in
payments of $800 a month for the
space.
According to a memo written Jan.
8 by Sam Granata, vice chancellor for
administration, Sue Oppenheimer,
board of trustees chairman, told him
that “the Art League will pay $600
per month instead of $800 per
month until they have recouped
$3,750 for moving and storing their
art and furniture during the
decorator showcase (Symphony
Showhouse, May, 1985) at the
Koehler Cultural Center.
“Mrs. (Sherrie) Kleck, (president) of
the Art League, stated Dr. (Byron)
McClenney (former chancellor and
executive director of the district’s
foundation) had informed them that
Job fair attracts May graduates
Twenty-eight students participated
in the third job fair of the semester
offered by placement services.
Nine local agencies representing
the engineering, electronic engineer-
ing and drafting fields interviewed
prospective May graduates on April
11 in Nail Technical Center.
“The students here are a lot more
serious about jobs since they are get-
ting ready to graduate. They know
the job market is competitive,”
Guinn Fetner, an instructor in draf-
ting and design, said.
Norman Neundorf, chairman of
drafting and design, was optimistic
about the success of the fair.
“We have better than a 90 percent
placement record because of
students who have graduated from
our courses and have done well at
other companies. The companies
want more.

Art League pays less monthly than agreement
he would take care of this cost... .’
McClenney said while he and
members of the Art League did
discuss the district paying these ex-
penses, which he believed was
equitable, no agreement was
reached.
“There was a lot of discussion, but that’s what had been agreed upon,
there never was a resolution to that,”
McClenney said. “That took place in
the summer of 1985; that was the
last time I had any involvement.”
Kleck, however, said the agree- month after they recoup their $3,750
ment was reached at an Art League loss. By paying $200 per month less,
board meeting McClenney attended it will take the League more than 18
before the Symphony Showhouse.
“We have it in the minutes of that
board meeting,” she said.
Oppenheimer said the board of
trustees investigated the Art
League’s claim and concluded
McClenney had said the district
would pay for those costs.
“The concensus was that McClen-
ney had agreed to that. Everyone, ex-
cept Dr. McClenney said he agreed storing their items after the Sym-
to that, so we decided to go ahead phony Showhouse.*
