Students Hear President;
Johnston Stresses 'Spirit'
For weeks now, preparations
have been underway for the Hill-
top Capers, the annual SEU stu-
dent talent show sponsored by the
Press club. Auditions have been
held, talent has been discovered
and, at times, scrounged up. In
the past week, rehearsals have
been adding polish and finishing
touches to various acts. The Show
is ready.

Tonight is the night of the Big
Show. Tonight is Capers Night,
a night when local talent sparkles
on the stage for all to view,
admire and applaud.
females invade the campus is
1000 men and 400 women.
The gathered crowd judged the
creation by Pat Scherrieb the best
of the contest, and he was award-
ed the first place prize of a case
of beer. Dave Bieser placed sec-
ond, thus winning three free
steaks, and Ted Attard won two
with a third place. Bill Fuller and
Bill Mullen, carved down to de-
feat, took home no bacon.
neth Keating, (R) New
Good natured charges of parti-
ality were leveled against the
judges, a gathered crowd consist-
ing mostly of freshmen. It seemed
too much of a coincidence that
Scherrieb, a freshman himself,
won the suds hands down. Some
thought he might have offered
part of the prize as a bribe to
the judges.
Saga assistant manager Mike
Counihan said that the food serv-
ice plans more of these events
later in the year. Plans call for
similar contests before Thanks-
giving, Christmas and Easter va-
cations—with a format appropri-
ate to the holiday.
Brother Raymond mentioned
two major changes that have
taken place on the Hilltop in the
last 18 years: the appointment in
1946 of Brother Edmund Hunt,
CSC, now chairman of the divis-
ion of humanities, as the first
Brother to become president of
St. Edward’s and the founding
of the Southwest province of the
Brothers of Holy Cross in 1956.
Women’s College Discussed
The subject of having a college
of women on the Hilltop campus
was also included in Brother’s
speech. He mentioned that the
SEU facilities will be co-ordinate:
midway between a coed college
and two wholly separate colleges.
The main differences between a
coed and a co-ordinate college are
that the former has only one ad-
ministration and the students,
both male and female, share a
majority of facilities. A true co-
ordinate college system consists
of "twin” colleges, each sharing
only a small number of adminis-
trative personnel and facilities.
The expected enrollment after the
Brother Raymond touched then
on the Self-Study program, say-
ing that it was being carried out
by nine committees made up of
various faculty members for the
purpose of the betterment of the
University.
In closing his speech, Brother
Raymond said that a tremendous
challenge is facing the youth of
today, but that he is most confi-
dent that the Edsmen could meet
this challenge. The floor was then
returned to Father Johnston.
Father Johnston stressed the
“new spirit” of St. Edward’s,
which includes both self and so-
cial responsibility. He mentioned
the heavy responsibility the floor
leaders have and that in order for
them to do their job properly, they
must have cooperation from their
fellow students.
In closing, Father Johnston said
that those few who cannot con-
form to this “new spirit” will be
asked to withdraw.

Exuberance and high spirit
were prevalent in Municipal au-
ditorium Tuesday night as Texas
Democrats gathered to witness
the election returns on a huge
screen on the auditorium stage
behind the podium bearing the
seal of the President of the Unit-
ed States.
It was here that Lyndon Baines
Johnson, before a very emotional
audience and a very busy press,
delivered his speech to the nation
acknowledging his victory over
Senator Barry Goldwater, despite
the fact that Senator Goldwater
did not concede the election until
late Wednesday morning.
The buzzing of voices and the
clicking of typewriters were only
By Jerry Wisinski
Wednesday morning a general
assembly was held for all stu-
dents and faculty members in
the Dining hall.
Father Maurice, Johnston, OP,
director of student affairs, open-
ed the meeting by saying that
St. Edward’s is definitely a grow-
ing university, with visible chang-
es taking place every year, and
that . . . “the goals of this Uni-
versity involve you and your fu-
ture.” Following his opening re-
marks, Father gave the floor to
Brother Raymond Fleck, CSC,
president of the University.
Tonight at 8:00 pm the curtains
will rise in the High School gym
over the combined efforts of
about sixty individuals, who have
worked many hours in preparing
the Capers. Brother Dunstan
Bowles, CSC, drama consultant
for St. Edward’s, has been the
catalyst of all individual efforts.
He has directed the show all
along, has cracked the talent into
shape, and has guided the dif-
ferent committees and groups
connected with the Show.
This year’s Capers, unlike last
year’s, will have contestant com-
petition in each of its two acts.
Big and small surprises are prom-
ised. After Dave Hardin, master
of ceremonies, opens the gala
extravaganza, Frank Zuik will
lead off the first act with an
organ number. The Doyle hall
gang will provide a few kicks.
Solos and group numbers will be
presented in a Mexican Jamboree.
Folk-singing Pat Moore and a
pseudo Glee Club will finish the
first act.
The second half of the Capers
will open big with “The King
and I” by the same low-budget
company who brought you “Cleo-
patra” last year. The act brags
that a cast of thousands will be
on hand. Following this extrava-
ganza,,a drum solo, folk singing,
band numbers, dancing and vocal
solos will be presented against
an American setting. The Andre
hall Ballet Company will appeal
to the esoteric tastes of the
sophisticates before the Grand
Finale closes, the show.
This year’s Capers ought to be
a good one. The first auditions,
held on October 21, did not draw
an abundance of talent; but, since
that time, a talent search and a
bit of prodding on the part of
Brother Dunstan has resulted in
some really worthwhile acts.
Speaking of the efforts which
have been made by the five dozen
or so persons involved in the
Capers, Larry Gries, president of
the Press club, said: "Even
though we’ve worked on a tight
schedule, we think we’ll have an
outstanding show. We might even
top last year’s.’’

(D), brother of the late Presi-
dent; at 12:05 am when Senator
Ralph Yarborough’s (D) victory
over George Bush (R) in the
Texas senatorial race was tele-
vised; and, finally, when Presi-
dent Johnson appeared on stage
to make his victory speech at 1:45
am CST.
Among those on stage with the
President were his wife, Lady
Bird, his two daughters, Lynda
Bird and Lucy Baines, Governor
and Mrs. John Connally, and the
President’s sister and her hus-
band and daughter.
It was a tired President who
spoke to the thousands of peo-
ple who had waited for him that
evening in Municipal auditorium.
His face told a story of a long
hard campaign, but his voice, soft-
ened almost to a whisper by the
fatigue which overcomes a man
on a rigorous campaign trail, in-

Inherits Hops
In an attempt to stimulate good
will with the student body, Saga
food service sponsored a pump-
kin carving contest on Saturday,
October 31. The original plan
called for a representative from
each dorm and campus club, but
pending mid-term exams seem to
have taken their toll, as only
five people participated.
