In The Hilltopper mock election
President Johnson landslided to
a 274 to 82 victory over Senator
Barry Goldwater. Johnson receiv-
ed an overwhelming 77% of the
356 votes cast.
A little more than half of St.
Edward’s students and faculty
participated in the mock election,
which was held, last Wednesday
morning and afternoon in the
foyer of the Library building. Pre-
mock election vote-getting efforts
were made by both campus po-
litical clubs. Signs, slogans, news-
paper clippings and caustic quips
were attached to everything from
bulletin boards to toilet stalls.
Approximately 80% of the mock
election participants who indi-
cated that they were 21 or over

By KRANDALL A. KRAUS
Managing Editor
A revolutionary proposal, which
will undoubtedly be the greatest
single change in the history of
this University, has been ap-
proved (in principle) by the
Local and Provincial councils of
the Brothers of Holy Cross and
by the Board of Lay Trustees of
the University. It was made
known to The Hilltopper early
this week that “St. Edward’s Uni-
versity is proposing that women
students be admitted to the'Uni-
versity.” The announcement was
made to the editorial staff by
Brother Raymond Fleck, CSC,
president.
Brother Raymond pointed out
that “by the addition of this pro-
gram, St. Edward’s would offer
a more complete program of
Catholic higher education for the
and registered to vote in the No-
vember 3 national election voted
for Johnson. Those who will not
be voting this November but are
over 21 came out 51 for Senator
Goldwater, 183 for President John-
son.
The majority of the voters in
the mock election favored Presi-
dent Johnson no matter what
state or secition of the US they
came from. Voters from the East
endorsed Johnson with 78% of
their votes. The Westerners were
with Johnson 69% of the way. 76%
of the Midwestern voters were
for LBJ. And the Southerners
(Texans included), who cast the
largest number of votes, showed
their support of Johnson by giving
him 79% of their votes. Even the
foreign students who took part
in the mock election favored
Johnson; 759? of them voted for
him.
Berry Hobbs, who heads the
Young Democrats on campus,
feels that, while the mock election
is “not indicative of the nation
as a whole, Johnson will definite-
ly win in November.” The leader
of the Young Republicans, Aubrey
Shields, said he "expected Sena-
tor Goldwater to lose on this
campus because St. Edward’s is
too liberal.” Shields was "disap-
pointed in the number who turned
out to vote.”

The women’s college would need
a staff consisting of a chief ad-
ministrator, a director of student
admissions, a dean of women, hall
counselors, a director of physical
education, and qualified women
teachers.
According to Brother Raymond,
the administrators of the women’s
college would be responsible to
the University president. The aca-
demic program would be enriched
with more work in the fine arts,
including painting and music, an
expanded drama program, a possi-
ble major in French, elementary
school teacher preparation, and
nursing education.
Student Personnel Program
The President noted that there
will be some aspects of the college
that will be entirely divorced
from the men. These include resi-
dence, dining and recreational
facilities, the guidance and coun-
seling program, the physical
education program, and some
portions of the religious activities
program.

Democratic headquarters.
“Where I Stand was chosen in
accordance with the policy of the
Alpha Chi selection committee,”
said Daniel Riordan, Writing IV
editor, who will moderate .the dis-
cussion. "We choose books which
affect 'the student in a world of
ferment.’ This book deals with
one of the most fermenting issues
of the present.”
Aiding in the selection of the
book were the Alpha Chi officers
and (Mrs.) Elisabeth Strom, as-
sistant librarian.
Another factor contributing to
the choice is the fact that the
tremendous demand for Senator
Goldwater’s books has created a
sellout situation in the Austin
area. This book, one of his most
recent, is still available in limited
numbers.
Riordan hoped that .the panel
members and audience would con-
duct a dignified discussion of the
issue at hand, the book itself, and
not launch into violent diatribes
on side issues.
Other books considered for the
four book series are The Power
and the Glory, by Graham Greene;
a book dealing with higher edu-
cation, to tie in with the self-study
program; and a book dealing with
iove.
SEU To Emulate
Sophie Newcomb
According to the proposal to
establish a program for the
education of women at St.
Edward’s, the new' women’s
college should he fashioned “in
a co-ordinate educational pat-
tern similar to the program of
Sophie Newcomh college at
Tulane university." The follow-
ing statistics were gathered in
order to get some idea of the
shape the new women’s facili-
Premont hall was formally dedi-
cated Tuesday by Monsignor
Gloeckner of Laredo, Texas. Fol-
lowing the ceremony, a cocktail
party was held in the luxurious
lounge of the new dorm. This was
followed by a lavish dinner for all
the guests in the student dining
hall, where Brother Raymond
Fleck, president, was the guest of
honor and main speaker of the
evening. Mr. C. N. Avery, jr,
member of the Board of Lay Trus-
tees, and president of develop-
ment, was the master of cere-
monies.
Mr. Avery presented honorary
Texas citizenship certificates to
Brother Raymond’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Raymond Fleck, who
came to Austin last Wednesday
to celebrate their fortieth wed-
ding anniversary with their dis-
would make Catholic higher edu-
cation available to Austin wamen
who, for one reason or another,
cannot go away to college.”
Facilities
The women’s college will be
established in a coordinated edu-
cational pattern fashioned after
the program of Sophie Newcomb
college at Tulane university. A
master architectural plan for the
women’s facilities on campus
would call for the following build-
ings, all of which would be air-
conditioned :
1) A cluster of residence halls,
with a large central lounge ar-
ranged so that it can be opened
to men, on occasion, without in-
vading the women’s privacy.

Texas citizenship certificate was
also presented to Father James C.
Donahue of Wilmington, Dela-
ware. Father Donahue is the
guidance counselor at Salesianum
high school in Wilmington and
is responsible for bringing some
15 students to St. Edward’s in the
past two years. Governor John
Connally, who signed the formal
documents, although he could not
personally attend the dinner, sent
his best wishes to the new Texas
citizens.
Brother Raymond expressed in
his speech the gratitude of the
University to the late Mrs. Mary
Premont, who left the bulk of her
estate to the Brothers of Holy
Cross to be used for educational
purposes. Brother Raymond went
