The Hilltopper would like to take this opportunity to con-
gratulate SAC on the fine job they have done so far this year.
We have been extremely pleased with the way SAC picked up
our proposal on the lighting of the tower over the Main build-
ing, and the progress they have made so far on this project. We
also appreciate the great amount of work and research SAC has
put into the upperclass scholarship program. We consider this
to be one of the most important issues to come before the Stu-
dent Activities council in the past several years and hope that
SAC will be able to bring this about.
We would like to congratulate the new freshmen officers on
their election to responsible offices in student government, and
at the same time remind them of their duties to their class and
the St. Edward’s community. We are sure that these men will
add their talents to the rest of SAC and bring about still more
worthwhile action during the rest of the school year.
Every four years the citizens of the United States are given
an opportunity to do something that people throughout much
of the rest of the world are fighting to obtain: the electing of
the leader of the country. It is of the utmost importance that
college students and instructors cast their votes in presidential
elections. These are the people who should know the issues and
the candidates best. It is wise to remember that when you vote,
you are electing the president; when you fail to vote, you are
leaving the election of the president up to someone else, who is
perhaps less capable of making this selection than yourself. The
Hilltopper urges all of those who can, to make it a point to
vote in this election. Remember, a right is only effective when
you use it—be sure and vote for the man of your choice on
November 3.

On returning from the Associated Collegiate Press’ national
convention in Chicago, the editors of The Hilltopper have
decided to make several changes in the basic format of The
Hilltopper. These new changes will be made in an effort to
make The Hilltopper a more readable and informative college
newspaper.
One of the major changes will be the introduction of several
new kinds of headline type. The Hilltopper will continue to
use the headline type known as Futura but will introduce
variations of this type. Among the new type variations to be
used will be light and bold condensed types along with greater
use of the italicised type. Along the same line, The Hilltopper
will introduce several new styles of headline make-ups. Several
other major format changes will be made after the editors make
some final arrangements with the printer.
We feel that the ACP convention has provided us with many
new and worthwhile ideas on improving the vitality and appeal
of the college newspaper. We have gained several ideas for
making a weekly paper, like The Hilltopper, a more vital part
of campus life and we will put these plans into effect as soon as
possible. We seek your comments on these new innovations and
look forward to your suggestions regarding them. We hope you
will aid us in making The Hilltopper a greater and more vital
organ of communication for the St. Edward’s community.

demic committee; and Hatton
Sumner, a junior pre-med student
chosen by the Senate from the
student body at large.
“In this intellectual communi-
ty,” states Father Johnston, “close
communication is needed. All of
the administrative changes that
have taken place in the past few
years have been made with this
in mind. But poor lines of com-
munication between administra-
tion, faculty, and students are
hampering the chances for real
improvement.
“The Student-Faculty commit-
tee will provide an arena for
better communications. Those on
the board have been selected with

Mr. Editor:
Your recent article, “Goldwater
Appears Blind To Perception Of
Reality,” should have been en-
titled “Goldwater Appears Blind
To The Luis View Of Reality.”
To say that Goldwater is not
realistic because he disagrees
with popular opinion, or the opin-
ions of Mr. Luis, can only be con-
sidered as unjust. The majority
does not necessarily have to be
right in all matters, nor should
Mr. Luis presume that to hold a
minority opinion infers that a per-
son has no perception of reality.
Also, to suggest that some prob-
lems are not clear-cut or the
decisions to be made cannot be
definite is ignoring history. Presi-
dent Johnson had a clear-cut
problem before him in the Bay of
Tonkin, and he replied with a
clear-cut decision. Our ships were
fired upon and the U.S. had to
retaliate. Here is an example of
a black or white issue; we could
either ignore the incident or re-
taliate. But to ignore the attack
would be to relinquish our right
to freedom of the seas, so we re-
taliated.
There do exist choices open to
us in the world, though perhaps
not as uncomplicated as the Bay
of Tonkin incident, which de-
mand decisions. In foreign aid,
are we to bolster our allies or
bribe our enemies? Are we to
continue government - to - govern-
ment programs which have
proved inefficient, or should we
increase our technical assistance
programs which have done so
much? If we believe in the prin-
ciples of freedom, we will support
those who work for liberty, not
those who wish to replace it with
totalitarianism. If we want to
have an effective program, not a
wasteful folly, then technical as-
sistance should be increased.
As for the Nuclear Test Ban,
why should we surrender an op-
consideration
and interest
relations.”
■Mr. Pesoli
having campus problems under-
ground, this committee will draw
them into the sunlight by com-
munication.
“Periodically, there is a creep-
ing malaise of resentment on the
part of the students. The object
of this committee is to present
this resentment before it becomes
prevalent. I hope we can dispel
the students’ conception of ‘we’
and ‘they’ in regarding the facul-
ty as the enemy camp.
"I would like to see intellectual
development a more closely com-
bined project as a result of closer
rapport between students and
faculty.”
Al Cisnero states, “It is neces-
sary to give the students the op-
portunity to express their views
on outstanding campus deficien-
cies. The committee will give the
faculty the opportunity to en-
lighten the students on these
problems.”
The proposal for the organized
discussion group was made to
Bob Singel, 1963-64 president of
SAC, by an anonymous student.
cause the Russians have been
allowed to learn more about
nuclear blasts than we. History
proves that a strong country can
keep the peace, and war results
not from accumulation of arms
but from a laxity in making
strength known.
A testing ground for presenting
student ideas and administrative
proposals is the purpose for initi-
ating a Student-Faculty advisory
committee. The first meeting is
to be held in November.
Representing the faculty and
administration on the committee
are Brother Francis Borgia
Woehler, CSC, academic dean;
Rev. Maurice Johnston, OP,
director of student affairs; Bro-
ther Joseph Cain, CSC, dean of
men; Mr. Peter Pesoli, English
instructor; and Mr. Richard
Hughes, history instructor.
Student committee members

To believe Russia wants peace, as

There will be a general stu-
dent assembly on Wednesday,
November 4, in the Dining
hall at 10:00 am. Father
Maurice Johnston, OP, di-
rector of student affairs, an-
nounced that Brother Ray-
mond Fleck, CSC, president,
will be the principal speaker.
Brother Raymond will ad-
dress the student body about
the self-study program and
the proposed co-ordinate edu-
cational system. Father John-
ston will speak on the new
hall program initiated this
year.
All students are required to
