They brought out the fact that
love is a permanent thing and
that children are a confirmation
of this permanency. Every couple
should plan to have children. “It
is not a question of how many
children you can afford to have;
rather, it is a question of how
many children are you emotion-
ally able to have and how many
children are you able to raise as
good Catholics,” stated Mr. Bar-
ber, when the question came to
the floor.

son to only nine points in this
period. The half time score was
31 to 23, the Rattlers leading.
Fine defense by the Hilltoppers
kept the Rattlers from making
the half a one-sided affair. St.
Edward’s hit a cool 25.9 per cent
of their shots; this was accom-
plished by missing crib shots and
lay-ins. Otolski was leading scor-
er for SEU at this point with 6
points. The 23 points scored by the
Hilltoppers was the lowest first

Mr. Barber noted that it is ex-
tremely important to talk over
personal differences before the
marriage and not expect to settle
things after the ceremony. “Such
things as religion must be coped
with early,” stated Mrs. Barber,
“for although mixed marriages
can work, at best they are handi-
capped.”
“The survey reports that the
students feel that the days of re-
collection are not beneficial to
them as they now exist. Let’s find
out what they would prefer. Sug-
gestions should be given as to
what might replace these days of
recollection and benefit the stu-
dents. There is also a goodly num-
ber of students not attending Sun-
day mass. We would like to know
why. The Religious Affairs com-
mittee has begun an investigation
in general, now it is up to them
to go to the students and discuss
how things can be improved. The
committee should go into detail I
and find out what the students
desire. There can be no better-
ment if the administration does
not know the wishes of the stu-
dents.”
They concluded by emphasizing
the fact that every married cou-
ple should have a mutual spiritual
project, such as giving Pre-Cana
conferences or joining Catholic
fraternal groups.

The previous low was 25 points,

St. Mary’s again got the tip at
the start of the second half. This

A report from the Student Life
By Krandall Kraus
News Editor
Upon returning to the Univer-
sity campus on Monday, February
24, from Montclair-; New Jersey,
where he has been preparing for
the presentation of the St. Ed-
ward’s university Coronet award
to be given soon, Brother Ray-
mond Fleck, University president,
commented on the recent reli-
gious survey taken on campus.
“I am pleasantly surprised at the
interest taken in the dialogue
mass as well as the Pre-Cana con-
ferences;” said Brother Raymond,
“however, I do see some incon-
sistencies here as in all surveys
of this type. For example, there
are more students who prefer the
afternoon mass to the morning
mass, yet there are still fewer
people attending the daily masses
than say they like them." Brother
Raymond noted “46 per cent of
Holy Cross hall feel that there is
not a healthy Catholic atmosphere
on campus; what do these 46 per
cent consider a healthy Catholic

atmosphere? I would like

What Do Students Want?
Brother Raymond went on
The couple went on to say that
a couple contemplating marriage
should learn to do things together
such as praying together. These
things will be done together after
the marriage and if they are
practiced beforehand they are
much easier to adapt to after-
ward.

Brother Raymond suggested
that letters to the editor of The

representatives were good ways
for the St. Edward’s students to
express their opinions on the mat-

After the typographical errors
were noted and corrected in the
minutes of the previous SAC
meeting, the order of business
was conducted by the president
of the Student Activities council,
Bob Sindel.
The first item on the agenda
was the clarification of the pow-
ers of the Student court. A letter
from the president of SEU,
Brother Raymond Fleck, CSC,
was read to the SAC members
concerning the responsibility of
the prefect of discipline. It was
noted that the prefect of disci-
pline is responsible to the director
of student affairs, who in turn is
responsible to the president of the
University. It was also explicitly
stated that no one is expelled
without the consent of the Disci-
plinary board. The problem of
Student court jurisdiction was
disputed by those members in at-
tendance to no avail.
SAC president Singel submitted
a request to the Senate which
would provide for the Student
court’s consultation with the dis-
ciplinary board in matters, exclu-
sive of morals cases, that require
disciplinary action. The purpose
of this bill is to provide a balance
of information for each case. The
motion was killed because a two-
thirds majority was not reached
due to the abstention of one mem-
ber, a junior senator, although
/

property was submitted stating
that $23 of the $25 had been col-
lected.
The academic questionnaire has
been completed and will be dis-
tributed next Wednesday, March
4.
The statement from the prefect
of discipline concerning alcohol
occasioned the drafting of a reso-
lution from SAC asking that stu-
dents of legal drinking age be
permitted to leave liquor with
their hall rectors as was allowed
prior to the new rule. The resolu-
tion was passed in the hope that
the liquor brought on campus to
be used at some future date could
be stored securely with a rector
instead of forcing students to
keep it in their rooms; the impli-
cation being that there will al-
ways be liquor brought on cam-
pus and some provision must be
made to allow students to keep
the liquor legally while waiting
to dispose of it.
The basketball game with St.
Mary’s university was discussed
in relation to transportation
problems and the pep rally.
The meeting was then conclud-
ed.
Adjustments to Marriage was
the topic of the second Pre-Cana
conference, conducted by Mr. and
Mrs. Will Barber of Austin. The
couple stressed the importance of
making the initial decision of
whether to marry or not. Mr.
Barber stressed the fact that
when one decides to marry, he
must realize that he will have to
adjust himself to marriage and
not expect to adjust marriage to
himself.
thing to be desired in the way of
Catholic life on campus, I feel it
is up to" the Religious Affairs com-
mittee to continue their investiga-
tion and find out just what the
students would consider benefi-
cial to a Catholic atmosphere,
which they feel is now lacking,”
suggested Brother Raymond.
the “lost”
The passenger train bound for
Kansas City from St. Edward’s
was derailed at San Marcos by St.
, Mary’s on Wednesday, February
26. SEU started off slow and never
got up enough steam to catch the
Rattlers. St. Mary’s got the tip
and took only 12 seconds to get
on the scoreboard. Roland Brewer
fouled Ken Sampson under the
bucket and Sampson sank a free
throw to make it one to nothing.
St. Edward’s then took the only
lead they were to see all night on
Paul McDermott’s 15 foot jump
shot from the left of the key to
make the score 2 to 1, with 18:56
to go in the period. One minute
later, Cox fouled McDermott and
Paul sank the free throw to in-
crease the lead to two points. St.
Mary’s then tied the score on
Sampson’s basket. He also put the
Rattlers out ahead on a free
throw after being fouled by Brew-
er. At 14:19 to go, John Christy
fouled Phil White. Phil sank the
free throw and this was the only
point he was to get all night. The
score was again tied (6 to 6) with
the help of a jump shot from the
top of the key by Mike Otolski.
With' 12:17 to go in the period,
Buddy Meyer sank a jump shot
from the free throw line to give
St. Mary’s the lead they were to
keep for the rest of the game.
Roland Brewer pulled St. Ed-
ward’s to one point behind St.
Mary’s on a 3 point play. He drove
in on the left side of the basket,
laid it up, made it, and was
fouled by Cox. The score was 10
to 9. At 9:45 left in the period,
Sampson hit a bucket to give the
Rattlers the biggest lead of the
game till this point, 15 to 11. From
this point on till the end of the
half, St. Mary’s maintained a
lead of from 4 to 6 points. Roland
Brewer was taken out of the game
with 8:40 left because he was in
foul trouble: he had three. John
Walls took his place not only on
the court but also guarding Samp-
son. Walls and Brewer held Samp-
