Steve’s theme was, “This is my
home; this is your home,” and
throughout his campaign he pre-
sented himself as a hard worker
in his appeal for votes. Hammer-
stein made it a point to let the
freshmen know that he would
seek out new ideas for the im-
provement and advancement of
the freshman class. The voters

According to Brother Dunstan
Bowles, CSC, the able director of
the Capers, this year’s show has
some promising talent. He states

involved, the show has the possi-

These newly elected freshmen officers are, from left to right,
Gary Cooper and Donis Muzik, senators; Richard Vanselow,
president; Gus George, vice-president; Steve Hammerstein, sec-
retary-treasurer.
All of the newly elected officers
are scheduled to meet and discuss
the new ideas brought out during
the campaign, and will draw up
a list of all pledges made during
the campaign. After presenting
these to the freshmen, the of-
ficers will begin their year by
putting into action those pro-
posals approved by their class.

Sharing the senatorial rank
with Donis Muzik is Gary Cooper,
a Work Party candidate, who
was elected with 40 percent of
the votes cast for senator. Mr.
Cooper pointed out the need for
organization among the freshmen
and stated that their ideas were
his concern. Cooper’s speech at
the rally stressed his willingness
to utilize new ideas after reason-
able time and effort. He also
expressed his desire to represent
the freshmen to the best of his
ability.

These tests will be used to judge
one’s mastery of vocabulary and
grammar in a foreign language,
as well as one’s ability in reading
comprehension.
Students wishing further in-
formation on these tests should

CSC, placement director, in the

possibility had been brought to
his attention previously and that
the building has been rewired to
accommodate the lighting. He
said the only delay is budgetary
red tape. The estimated cost of in-
stallation is $500. At present, these
funds are not included in the
budget, but may be in the near
future. An appropriation to cover
the costs would be the only way
to get the necessary money.
As noted in previous SAC meet-
ings, finances are the stumbling
block in the way of upperclass
scholarships. Until a way is found
to endow the program, not much
can be done. In an attempt to find
ideas, Al Cisneros, sophomore
class president, has sent letters to
fifteen universities throughout

Another collection of solos and
group numbers will then be pre-
sented, this time in an American
setting. Following this will be a
ballet number to the music
“More” from the picture “Mondo
Cane.” The ballet soloist is Tita
Lytton, accompanied on the piano
by Frank Zuik.
In addition to the preceding

Students wishing to enter the
Peace Corps will be able to take
the Peace Corps placement test
in room 109 of the Science build-
ing on November 7. This non-
competitive test, which will be
given at St. Edward’s at 1:00 pm,
is used to place volunteers in the
areas for which they are best
suited.
All applicants are required to
take a 30-minute general aptitude
test and a 30-minute modern
language test. The general apti-
tude test is composed of three
different types of problems:
verbal, mathematical, and spatial
reasoning. The verbal part of the
test will require the selection,
from a list of five words, of a syn-
onym for the word given. The
mathematical portion requires the
application of secondary school
mathematics to particular prob-
lems. The spatial-type problems
require the use of reasoning to
judge the actual number of ob-
jects pictured or inferred. The
modern language aptitude test is
designed to provide an indica-
tion of one’s success in learning
to speak and understand a for-
eign language. The test score, to
some extent, will depend on the
student’s knowledge of English,
as well as sound-symbol associa-
tion and rote memory. In addition
to these two tests, students are
urged to take the one hour

The acts presented in this
year’s “Hilltop Capers,” to be
presented November 6 at 8 pm in
St. Edward’s high school gym,
will range from “Rock n’ Roll” to
tumbling to classical guitar.
Auditions have been completed
and now the job of co-ordinating
and perfecting the variety show
has begun.
Before the show actually
begins, Frank Zuik will present
an organ recital. The first num-
ber in the show will be a seashore
chorus-line dance routine pre-
sented by this year’s version of
the Doyle hall Rockettes. The
second feature will consist of
various solos and group numbers,
all in a Latin setting.
Following the Latin setting,
there will be presented renditions
on classical guitar, followed by a
folksinging group consisting of
In order to allow its committees
time to finish their work, SAC
did not meet this week. Mr.
Bernie Yun, president, suggested
this action at the October 19
meeting so that SAC would have
a full report from the committees
investigating tower lighting,
upperclass scholarships, the
atmosphere of the election. On
Wednesday night, a rally was held
1 in the Dining hall, which gave all
i candidates the opportunity to pre-
sent their platforms to the voters.
All of the speeches, showed con-
crete thinking and most of them
contained proposals which indi-
cated serious thinking on the
problems facing the freshman
class. The rally, though not well
attended, was effective and did
influence the election.
The freshman slate for 1964-
1965 includes:
President—Richard Vanselow
Vice-President—Gus George
Secretary-Treasurer—
Steve Hammerstein
Senators—Donis Muzik
Gary Cooper
Richard Vanselow, the only in-
dependent candidate elected, won
the race for president with 39.7
percent of the votes cast for this
office. Vanselow pledged to “learn
quickly, work earnestly and
promptly, and represent the fresh-
men” in his speech at the rally.
He also stated that he would
strive for the advancement and
growth of his class as a unit by
work and understanding.
The newly elected vice-presi-
dent, Gus George, was a candi-
date of the Work Party. Mr.
George garnered 66.1 percent of
the votes. In his campaign speech,
he emphasized his willingness to
help his class and take the re-
sponsibility of his office serious-
ly.
Steve Hammerstein is the new
freshman secretary-treasurer.

After a week of closely-contest-

the freshman class were elected.
A year of growth in unity, spiritu-

be the combined goals of the
freshman officers. Each candidate
showed considerable initiative, as
evidenced by his spirit and efforts
to be elected. Posters were placed

Party candidate. Mr. Muzik, a
man who feels himself at ease
with people, wants to be a tool
for the freshmen, by representing
them both as individuals and as
a group. He expressed his desire
to be a building block for the
freshman class in constructing a
solid unit, spiritually, intellectual-
ly and socially. His speech at the
rally enumerated several specific
ideas which were keyed to bring
