tudes. He emphasizes that the
bulletin will present “religion in
life” and that many current na-
tional issues, such as political
morals, birth control, and others,
will be dealt with as much as pos-
sible.
In reference to the currently
vital problem of change in the
liturgy, Father Baker explained
that any changes at St. Edward’s
are effected by the order of the
National Committee of the Ameri-
can Bishops, and by the order of
Bishop Reicher of Austin. The
decision of whether or not to
switch to the new liturgy, how-
ever, to some extent, is in the
hands of the parishioners them-
selves. The Church is not impos-
ing the liturgical changes dicta-
torially on all its people. It ra-
ther prefers to keep in step with
the mode of life of the people in
each particular parish. In a high-
ly conservative parish, the chang-
fee would be charged and that the
male representatives would stay
in Holy Cross and the girls would
stay at the Acorn motel. SAC
voted to approve the measure 7 to
0 with Schubel abstaining.

Father Harry Baker, CSC, St.
Edward’s new chaplain, comes to
the Hilltop from the Catholic Lay
Mission corps of Austin, where
he has served for the past year.
A native of Flint, Michigan, Fa-
ther Baker studied for four years
in Rome, earning his Licentiate
in theology from the Gregorian
university. Upon his return to the
States, he taught theology at the
University of Notre Dame for
three years immediately prior to
his arrival in Austin.
es would be introduced gradually
so that the people could and
would accept them easily. Father
said that the changes will prob-
ably be easily installed at SEU.
Father will welcome any sug-
gestions on the subject matter of
the bulletins and any discussion
on the changes in liturgy.
J
Tom Bentley, SAC treasurer,
reported on the financial aspect
of Freshman week. The total in-
come of Freshman week activities
was $165.80; however, the total
expenditures were $200.15, which
puts SAC in the red $34.35.
Mr. Schubel reported that fresh-
men would be contacted by their
counselors ip the near future. Un-
der a new plan this year, fresh-
men will have student counselors.
Future of TSEA
Topic of Talk
Mr. Charles B. Hamilton, Texas
State Teachers association field
representative and Texas Student
Education association state con-
sultant, will expound on the fu-
ture of TSEA in a speech enti-
tled “The Future Looks Good in
TSEA.” He will speak Thursday,
October 8, in the dining hall at
the first meeting of SEU’s TSEA
chapter.
Mr. Hamilton has been an ani-
mating spirit in helping the SEU
chapter achieve its present status
in TSEA. His definite concern in
seeing that the SEU chapter was
sufficiently rooted helped St.
Edward’s university achieve its
present position of runner-up for
the “Most Outstanding Chapter”
in the state of Texas.
Mr. Hamilton will be preceded
to the podium by Brother Ray-
mond Fleck, CSC, St. Edward’s
university president, who will wel-
come the members to SEU and
relate the importance of TSEA to
the University and the teaching
profession.
This past summer, Brother
Thomas McCullough, CSC, pro-
fessor of chemistry and a mem-
ber of the National Science
foundation, undertook the task
of investigating the chemical
make-up of insect scent glands.
Brother Thomas worked ex-
clusively with three species of
beetles belonging to the genus
Calosama. These were the Calosa-
mas externium, marginalas, and
scrutator. By performing chemic-
al tests, Brother Thomas observed
that acid was present in The
glands of all three species, but
that the Calosamas externum and
marginalas also possessed the
fluid Salicylaldehyde.
The main problem that con-
fronted Brother Thomas was that
the amount of glandular fluid
which the insects possessed was
extremely small, thereby requir-
ing micro techniques.
To obtain the insect’s scent
gland fluids, Brother Thomas had
his choice of two alternatives:
milking (having the insect ex-
crete the fluid itself) or dis-

According to a report by John
Barajas, junior class president,
the proposal of giving upperclass-
men special scholarships has met
with a serious setback. The two
major possible sources of funds
on campus, the Alumni associa-
tion and the University itself, have
rejected the scholarship proposal
on the grounds that neither have
enough money to finance it.
It was reported that Brother
LaSalle Woelfel, CSC, executive
vice-president, had taken a survey
and found that it would be impos-
sible for the alumni to finance
such a venture. It was further re-
ported that Brother Ralph Kuder,
CSC, assistant to the president,
had said that the University did
not have enough funds. Brother
Ralph further suggested that the
students themselves set up a fund
for this type of scholarship.
Bernie Yun, president of SAC,
then suggested that the Academic
committee and the Financial com-
mittee meet to discuss what fur-
ther “concrete ideas” could be
thought up. Mr. Yun further in-
structed Mr. Cisneros, sophomore
class president, to make a recom-
mendation based on the conse-
quences of this meeting.
Mr. George Natsis, speaking on
the behalf of the St. Edward’s
chapter of the National Federa-
tion of Catholic College Students,
asked that the Student Activities
council appropriate $190 for ex-
penses to be encountered in the
upcoming NFCCS convention,
which will be held at SEU Octo-
ber 8, 9, and 10. Mr. Natsis
claimed that SAC would be reim-
bursed after the convention.
Mr. Natsis also reported that
Newman clubs and NFCCS repre-
sentatives from all over Texas
had been invited. Mr. Schubel in-
quired about living quarters for
those representatives and the cost
of feeding and housing the dele- .
gates. Mr. Natsis replied that a
Father considered his first im-
pression of the SEU campus “very
favorable?’ He feels part of this
impression hinges on the fact that
St. Edward’s, as compared to
larger universities, offers an op-
portunity for the chaplain to con-
tact a greater percentage of his
student parishioners personally.
Asked about the Catholic at-
mosphere on the campus, Father
replied that the outward aspects
of Catholic atmosphere: Mass, the
sacraments, statues and prayers,
obviously are present. However,
the deeper aspects—those things
that make up a real Catholic at-
mosphere, such as a deep concern
with human problems, a deter-
mination to do something about
them,, and deep liturgical aware-
ness and spirit—are not easily
seen. Father will withhold judg-
ment on these points until he
comes to know the students bet-
ter.
Father plans to continue the
weekly religious bulletin, but
with some changes in format. He
will stress three main themes in
the bulletins. These are Commu-
nity, Vocation and Basic Atti-
section. The better of the two
proved to be the dissection meth-
od, in which, after refrigerating
the insect and thereby rendering
it unconscious, the whole scent
gland was extracted. In this
way, the largest amount of fluid
possible was obtained, whereas
in the milking process the result
was, according to Brother
Thomas, “too frustratingly small.”
Brother Thomas did his re-
search at the University of Okla-
homa. The whole investigation re-
quired eleven weeks of patient
work. Brother said that, according
to the latest reports of 1963, there
was no record of anyone ever
having done research on the scent
glands of beetles, thereby giving
rise to the opinion that anything
discovered would be of value.
There is a total of twenty-eight
species in the genus Calosama,
and Brother Thomas hopes to in-
vestigate all of the remaining
twenty-five.
The reason for Brother Thomas’
research is that he has been col-
lecting insects since high school
and wishes to combine chemistry
with his interesting hobby.
