The Main building’s tower,
long the dominant structure in
the South Austin skyline during
the day, will soon become, if all
goes well, the dominant struc-
ture at night.
Now it seems to us that the students this year are making
an effort to do their share, but what about the faculty? Only
three faculty members found the time to participate in a dis-
cussion of vital issues.

We wish to thank Alpha Chi for the informative discussion
afforded us through their book panel on Senator Goldwater’s
book WHERE I STAND. We were pleased with the student
participation in this discussion, as they seemed well informed
on the issues and were willing to voice their opinions openly.
Mr. Dan Riordan, panel moderator, skillfully directed the dis-
cussion, taking care to cover as many issues as possible in the
allotted time.

that no signs should be placed on
any glass surface or on any paint-
ed surface. Such practices in the
past have cost the school money
in having to repaint and time in
having to have the glass scraped.
Mr. Yun suggested that each
committee take a good look at its
own financial policy and be pre-
pared to submit a budget by the
next meeting.
There was, however, one area in which the panel discussion
failed. Could this, perhaps, have been caused by the absence
of instructors educated in these fields? Let us quote from a
letter published in The Hilltopper March 13, 1964, which we
received concerning the students from the director of student
affairs, Father Maurice Johnston, OP, . . responsibility re-
quires response. There seems to be practically no response, no
concern, no adult reaction to anything by the student body of
this university. . . . There is another area of concern for me:
this is the lack of student awareness of the world about them.
. . . a lack of social awareness and concern.”
Again this year, as in previous years, there are plans afloat
for sending St. Edward’s students on a work project to Mexico.
The purpose of the project is to show the peoples of the area
in which the group will work Catholicism in action.
The students who are planning to make this trip are at pres-
ent taking lessons in Spanish and Latin American history in an
effort to better serve in this project. These students are will-
ingly giving their time to work in unpleasant surroundings to
bring an active Christianity to these peoples.
In previous years, for various reasons, similar projects were
never carried out. This year, under the direction of Rene Green-
wald and Father Johnston, OP, the plans for this project are
off to a good start. The Hilltopper feels that the students of
St. Edward’s should support this project in any way possible.
There definitely will be expenses incurred on this expedition
and this is the area in which we can best lend our support to
the project. The Hilltopper seeks the aid of the entire St. Ed-
ward’s community in helping give to these men the chance to
represent St. Edward’s well. If you are asked to contribute,
please do so generously.
In a plea for SAC assistance in
helping to finance the cheerlead-
ing squad, Larry Mauer stat-
ed that he thought it only right
for SAC to sponsor a student or-
ganization like the cheerleaders.
He pointed out that in past years,
the cheerleaders have had to buy

Religious committee Chairman
John Barajas reported that this
year student retreats will be held
in San Antonio. The first will be
November 1, 2, 3, with other re-
treats set for December 7, 8, 9 and
February 28 to March 2. The first
retreat will be for juniors. In the
event that less than twenty juniors
sign up for this first retreat, it
will be opened to sophomores also.
The second retreat will be for
sophomores, and the third for
freshmen. All retreats will be held
in conjunction with Our Lady of
the Lake college. The total cost
of the retreat will be $12 per per-
son. (See story page 1—Ed.)

been floating around campus for
the last two years, but no group
has ever gone from St. Edward’s.
“This year,” Greenwald said, “we
have started making plans al-
ready and it (the proposed trip)
seems to be progressing quite
well.”
In response to a Hilltopper edi-
torial, a committee to investigate
the possibilities of lighting the
tower atop the Main building has
been appointed by the Student
Activities council. Bernie Yun,
president of SAC, directed Nick
LeJeune, senior class president,
and David Wright, senior class
senator, to look into the cost and
feasibility of lighting and to re-
port their findings to SAC at the
next meeting.
A Catholic Lay Mission Corps
trip to Mexico was brought to the
attention of SAC by Mr. Rene
Greenwald. Greenwald outlined
We would like to apologize to the panel members from the
Democratic and Republican parties for this poor showing.
We feel that the students are making an effort to respond,
but, as Father Johnston stated later in his letter, “Our pur-
pose for being here is to help you to find and develop the
talents that you have, but such a work cannot possibly be
successful without your cooperation and without your efforts
to make a mature response.” This is our challenge—are you
with us, faculty?
Hatton Sumner, junior pre-med
major from West, Texas, was
elected as the student-at-large on
the newly created Student-Facul-
ty board. The board’s main pur-
pose is to provide an avenue of
communication between adminis-
tration, students and faculty at
St. Edward’s. Besides Sumner, the
members of the board include Al
Cisneros; John Barajas, Religious
committee chairman; Jerry Schu-
bel, Student Life committee chair-
man; Brother Francis Borgia,
academic dean; and Father
Maurice Johnston, OP, director of
student affairs. Two faculty mem-
bers and another administrator
will be selected shortly to bring
the board to full membership.
The Edsmen club asked SAC
for an appropriation of $25 to
cover gas expenses for students
using their cars to transport
other students to the blood bank
across town. The request was
granted unanimously. Father
Johnston commended the Edsmen
for their past work and said he
was happy to see SAC supporting
such a deserving organization.

“The trip,” said Greenwald, “is
not something that we just
dreamed up. It has been tried by
many colleges and universities
throughout the United States.”
Greenwald noted that such uni-
versities as Notre Dame; Southern
California, and Holy Cross send
teams to Latin America. Green-
wald pointed out that St. Mary’s
in San Antonio has had a very
successful program of this sort
in the past several years.
A lay apostolate “Peace Corps”
group has been organized on
campus. Under the chairmanship
of Rene Greenwald, a junior
Spanish major from Albany, New
York, the group plans to spend
the summer in Mexico doing con-
struction work, possibly helping
to build a church or dam. The
exact location for this work has
not been determined as yet; how-
ever, it will probably be a small
town not far from Mexico City.
According to Mr. Greenwald,
the purpose of the project is
twofold: 1) to help the people of
the area materially by the con-
struction and 2) to help these
people spiritually by leading ex-
emplary Christian lives while they
are on the project.
Help Would Be Appreciated
In a speech delivered before the
Student Activities council Mon-
day night, Greenwald outlined the
above plan in some detail and
made a plea for financial assist-
ance. Though he didn’t request
an appropriation from SAC, he
urged the student government
leaders to “keep in mind our pro-
ject and ways that you could raise
money from some activity, we
would appreciate.” He went on to
say that if any club or clubs on
campus would be willing to
donate any profits derived from
dances or other activities, they
would be greatly appreciated and
would be used to transport and
feed the corps workers.
According to Greenwald, it will
cost approximately $200 per stu-
dent to make the six week trip.
Greenwald would like to lead a
group of five to Mexico, hence the
cost would be around $1,000
In addition to that sum, the group
would also require a jeep.
The idea for the Mexico lay
apostolate Peace Corps work has
Greenwald noted that, at pres-
ent, about 10 men have expressed
interest, though no final com-
mitments have been made. These
men, in an effort to become better
prepared for their trip to Mexico,
are meeting biweekly with Mr.
Juarez, assistant professor of his-
tory, who is giving them a back-
ground course in Latin American
history and culture. On alternate
weeks, the group meets with Luis
Luis, senior economics major
from Kansas City, Missouri, for
instruction in Spanish.
committee chairman, stated that
the budget would include rental
of the Commodore Perry hotel
ballroom, set-up fee, waiters,
band (the Personalities), bids, ad-
vertising and decorations. He also
noted that the cost of the bids
would be $3.75.
In other action, SAC had one
of its most productive meetings
this year. Upperclassmen scholar-
ship programs were again dis-
cussed and, according to Al
Cisneros, sophomore class presi-
dent, the main obstacle in the
way of such a program is the
lack of funds at St. Edward’s. Mr.
Yun instructed Mr. Cisneros to
find out if any college had such
a program and to discover their
means for financing it.
The Hilltopper is published weekly during the academic year
at St. Edward’s university, an institution of higher learning
conducted by the Brothers of Holy Cross (CC). Opinions
expressed herein are those of the student editors, and not Mee
necessarily those of the University as a whole. The Hill- i4k
topper is a member of the Associated Collegiate Press, WB
and Intercollegiate Press.
A movie discussion group,
whose main purpose would be to
acquire art films for the campus
and to discuss these art films, was
proposed by Mr. Steve Pedro,
sophomore class senator. The
topic was left open to further dis-
cussion.

their own outfits, but he thinks
the school should pay for them.
Mr. Yun pointed out that the
cheerleaders have been a dead
organization in the past years. He
further stated that he had not
heard a new cheer or seen a new
idea out of the cheerleaders for
quite a while. Mr. Maurer pointed
out that this was his first year
as head of the squad and that he
was effecting changes at the pres-
ent time for the coming season.
Mr. Yun suggested that SAC see
these changes before considering
an appropriation.
