One recommendation the report
made was that the use of part-time
faculty should be limited to 20 per-
cent of the faculty.
Charlie Malesky, sociology pro-

recommend to the board of trustees
that our ratio should be 80 percent
to 20 percent.

The senate voted unanimously to

A registration committee Monday
tentatively determined registration
dates for summer semesters.
They determined registration
would be May 4-7 and May 25-28 for
the first session and July 6-8 for the
second.
The registration would take place
from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Late registration for the first sum-
mer session would take place June
1-2.
They also decided registration for
the second summer session would
be July 6-8.
The committee chose this option
after learning from Feme Cherne,
director of counseling services, that
insisted that faculty and staff have
evacuation plans for all classes.” “I
The senate also voted unanimous-
ly to have Lou Ann Cook, nursing
professor, fill the senate seat vacated
by Dr. Kenneth Shumate.

Rosa Gonzales, program developer
for health programs, said, “It’s a very
specialized part of the whole
medical system. The state of the art
is drawing blood for medical pur-
poses, not what was stated in the
paper (Oct. 24 Ranger), which was
‘the practice of letting blood as a
therapeutic measure.’ ”

The Faculty Senate decided
Wednesday to recommend to the
president that the college should
work toward attaining a ratio of 20
percent part-time teachers to 80 per-
cent full time.
Johnny McCain, history professor,
presented to the senate information
he gathered on the percentages of
full-time and part-time faculty.
The daughter of Dr. Lois G. Mor-
rison opposes the sale of the Mor-
rison collection.
In a telephone interview Monday,
Betty Hennington of Trinidad, Texas,
said, “I am very much opposed to
selling the collection.
“Originally, mother intended the
collection to go to her grandchildren.
Then she became attached to SAC.
“She sold the original collection to
the college at a nominal sum.”
The Morrison collection, a rare col-
lection of 18th century British
literature, was purchased in 1968 for
$32,201, estimated as a third of the
value at that time.
The possibility of selling the collec-
tion surfaced after the planning and
policy committee of the board of
trustees requested an appraisal.
About 200 faculty representing 15
different academic departments
have signed a petition opposing the
sale.
Since the college bought the collec-
tion from the former dean of women,
Morrison, her husband and her
other daughter have died.
“People have donated to the collec-
tion in memory of my mother, father
and sister. If the collection goes
away from SAC, the original idea
also goes away from SAC,” Henn-
ington said.
Oscar Metzger, chairman of learn-
ing resources, said Tuesday an exact
figure on contributions in memory
of the three was not available
because people donate to the
Osborne Memorial Book Fund, nam-
ed in memory of Dr. Mary Tom
Osborne, former chairman of the
English and journalism department.
Metzger said the library uses in-
terest from the Osborne fund to buy
additions to the rare book
collections.

meeting of the board of trustees

instructor to teach phlebotomy.
A trip to the dictionary showed
that phlebotomy is the therapeutic
practice of opening a vein to draw
blood.
Continuing education gained ap-
proval at the meeting to hire an in-
structor to teach phlebotomy for the
first time here.

Gonzales said she thinks there are
greater job opportunities for a per-
son with training in this area.
A person trained in drawing blood
would have a marketable skill. There
is growing concern about qualified
people in the medical profession,
she said.
“It’s the kind of job that is in be-
tween medical lab personnel and the
nursing staff. There is a need
because the hospitals are hiring un-
trained people and doing their own
training,” Gonzales said.

moment of solitude.
In other words, I had nothing better to
do. As my eyes fixated upon the ceiling,
a question entered my mind. What is to
prevent the ceiling from collapsing?
After all, gravity is a powerful force.
Although care surely was taken during
construction so this unfortunate mishap
would not occur, I find the possibility of col-
lapse feasible.
A vivid daydream not too long ago con-
vinced me. I was in the lobby of a local
office building waiting for an interview.
My heart nearly stopped when a young
well-dressed executive came crashing
through the ceiling in front of me, desk and
all, from the second floor. He shook his
head violently and blinked his eyes
repeatedly, trying to recover his senses.
Upon seeing me, he got up slowly from

No one has signed up for the class.
Gonzalez said part of the reason no
one has signed up is that not enough
people understand what
phlebotomy is.
“The class will be offered in the
spring if we have enough people sign
up for it,” she added.*

A political candidate won
Tuesday.
No, it was not Bill Clements for governor, Paul
Elizondo for commissioner or Henry B. Gonzalez for
congressman.
Joseph Ware, public affairs professor, became dean
of pest control.
The office was created by concerned December
graduates who believe there is an infestation of pests
such as deans.
Campaign coordinator Margaret Eberly, public ad-
ministration major, said, “There is a large infestation
of deans, don’t you think?”
She said when she and other students were
distributing literature to help the Ware campaign,
several faculty members approached them.
The faculty members said they would support Ware
only if certain stipulations were made.
“The only way they would support him is if Ware
has an assistant dean, an associate dean, three
secretaries for the deans, three administrative
( assistants for the deans and an office manager,” Eber-
ly said.
She said that would put Ware at the same level as
the administrative deans here.
“All the deans have that administrative help,” she
said.
Eberly also said other pests would have to be
exterminated.
“They’re going to get rid of them in December by
graduating them,” she said.
Eberly said Ware won by a
opponent, Bobbie Bassett.
Bassett is a student-created takeoff of a similar
canine that sniffs out termites for local extermination
companies.
“It (election response) was overwhelming,” she
said, explaining the exact count was unavailable.
Eberly said Bassett failed to show at the polls.
“He didn’t even show up at the poll at all,” she said.
“He just didn’t raise a paw in his defense.”
The joke was really a form of appreciation by Ware’s
students, Eberly explained.
“A bunch of us graduates just think he’s a super
teacher,” she said.
Eberly and other Ware supporters also placed a
ballot box at City Hall where they rallied support from
City Manager Lou Fox.
“We ran into Lou Fox, and he supported him (Ware)
totally,” Ware said.
Eberly said Bassett has not offered congratulations
to Ware.
“He wasn’t even a good loser,” she said.
Apparently, Bassett doggedly refused to extend a
paw in congratulations.
Bassett could not be reached for comment.*

customary for me to look both ways
when crossing a one-way street.
People look at me funny, possibly see-
ing me as a rebel refusing to yield to
conformity. “Better safe than sorry,” I
counter, unashamed of my use of a
cliche.
Another fear (concern) of mine is
water. Drinking it is no problem. It’s be-
ing in it that bothers me. That’s an easy
fear to analyze, considering swimming is
not a forte.
If you have ever studied a globe (really
studied it), you must have that fear.
Have you ever seen how much blue a
globe contains? What is to prevent that
mass of blue from someday engulfing
the patches of brown (the continents)?

mind. Me in an ocean is like a tiny star

Drawing blood will be taught for the first time
By Dawn Moderow
Staff Writer
Faculty will suggest ratio for part timers
The ratio of full-time faculty to
part-time faculty is 67.4 percent to
32.6 percent, the report said.
The addition of librarians and
counselors to that information
brings the totals to 70.2 percent for
full time and 29.8 percent for part
time.
The senate based its decision on a
recently issued report by the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching.
The foundation challenged col-
the collection here, Hennington said
the idea was for the collection to re->'
main at San Antonio College for
“generations to come and to be a se^
vice to the community.”
“Mother never dreamed?
something like this would happen!?
that someone would let the colleq-i
tion go. I want to see the collection
stay at'the college,” she said.
Hennington has written to
Chancellor Ivory Nelson expressing
opposition to selling the collection.^
“So far I haven’t received a repljjj
from him,” she said.
During a telephone interview Mon«£
day, Nelson said, “Yes, I have just-
received a letter from Mrs. Henn*j
ington, and I intend to call her. g
“People are saying don’t sell, ari’4?
I don’t think that is the real issue.
The collection has limited use tq'
our students, he said.
“Morrison gave the collection to;
SAC and intended it for the benefi^
of SAC students,” he said.
Nelson suggested a hypothetical
situation. “Suppose the collection
brings $2 million and it is investee^
at 8 percent interest. The investment
would bring approximately $160,00$
a year. The interest money could b$
used to secure more things for th^
library in the name of Morrison.
If the district sells the collection^
a chair honoring Morrison could b^
created in the English department^
he said.
“Although we would be getting ricj;
of the books, we would be providing-
something of excellence for the col-
lege for a lifetime and enhancing th£
Morrison name.
“I’m not for destroying anything*?;
I’m for enhancing the name.”
Nelson believes the library’s
security system is inadequate to pro?
tect the collection.
“It would take a tremendou^
amount of money to install the co$
rect one,” he speculated. •
Fear of phobia aggravates anxiety attacks
As I write this, I am afraid. By no
means does a life-threatening situation
confront me.
If that were the case, I certainly would
not write this, choosing instead to
escape from harm’s way.
My current position is in front of the
computer terminal, on a comfortable
swivel chair on the second floor of Loftin
Student Center. Hardly the stuff of which
nightmares are made. And yet, I am
afraid.
Actually, “afraid” is a bit too drastic a
modifier. Let’s try concerned. I am a tad
bit concerned the floor I am on will col-
lapse onto the floor directly underneath.
That would have me falling in front of
students viewing television on the first
floor of Loftin. If the fall failed to kill
me, the angry mob of irate students
whose soap operas and game shows
were interrupted would.
This is a recent fear of mine, acquired
while staring at the ceiling one day. I

her counselors would be able to han
die the workload and preferred to do
so in three days.
Two other options would have pro-
vided four days for registration. '
Cherne presided at the meeting iri^
the absence of Dr. Earl Wright, vice
president of student services.
These decisions were tentative un'-'
til another committee, the calendar
committee, approves the decisions?
Cherne said this would be the last
r
committee meeting.

fessor, suggested a final meeting

like. I have watched a denizen of the Z
deep wiggling wildly under the sun and *
dying a slow agonizing death.
Fortunately, we usually throw our fish £
back in, except for a few unlucky ones

My existence continues normally

dictate my life. They provide a source of ;
wonder.
A visit to the library in Moody Learn- *
