Gov’t Interviewers
Arrive on Thursday
On Thursday, October 21, repre-
sentatives of the Federal Career
Service will be at the University
Placement Office. Individual in-
terviews can be arranged by con-
tacting the Placement Office now.
These representatives are pre-
pared to answer questions and ad-
vise students on career opportu-
nities in the Federal Service, ac-
cording to Louis S. Lyon, regional
director for the Dallas region,
U.S. Civil Service Commission. He
said the federal government, the
nation’s largest employer, affords
opportunities for graduates of
any discipline.
Although he is very much occu-
pied in his doctoral work, Father
von Bertrab manifested an interest
in meeting the students of the
University. He mentioned that
generally he is not readily identi-
fiable as a cleric, since, as is his
native Mexican custom, he does
not wear the traditional Roman
collar as part of his street attire.
(This prevents any possible bar-
riers from arising at UT, where,
in addition to his private studies,
he teaches one class in Principles
of Economics. His students there
do not know him as a priest.) He
expressed the hope that the stu-
dents here would feel free to in-
troduce themselves to him and
seek any assistance he might be
able to offer.
In residence on the SEU cam-
pus this semester is a member of
the Northern Mexico Province of
the Society of Jesus. Hermann R.
von Bertrab Erdmann, SJ, liv-
ing in St. Joseph’s Hall, is cur-
rently working on his doctoral
dissertation at the University of
Texas. His field of interest, eco-
nomic problems in Latin America,
led him to choose the University
of Texas, noted widely for its
Latin American program, and
especially for its distinguished
professor in that field, Dr. Ben-
jamin Higgins.
Ordained a Jesuit priest in 1960,
Father von Bertrab comes to Tex-
as after a career of studies, re-
search, and religious formation
during which he has accumulated
four master’s degrees (in Spanish,
philosophy, theology, and eco-
nomics), in four different coun-
tries (Mexico, the United States,
Austria, and France). Continuing
his work here, Father anticipates
completion and subsequent ap-
probation of his dissertation by
1967. Whether or not he will re-
main here for the writing of his
dissertation is uncertain at this
point. Father is considering ac-
cepting a fellowship which would
of three capacities upon comple-
tion of his academic work: a
member of a social institute that
the Jesuits are soon to estab-
lish in Mexico City; a profes-
sor at the Jesuit University in
Mexico City; or a member of an
international organization dedi-
cated to anthropological and so-
cio-economic studies.
Speaks Here Monday
Irish sociologist Thomas Rosein-
grave will lecture on “Christian
Responsibility in a World of
Want” in the St. Edward’s Uni-
versity Dining Hall on Monday,
October 18, at 7:30 pm.
The public is invited to hear
the speaker and to meet him
after the lecture. There will be no
admission charge.
A graduate of University Col-
lege, Dublin, with Sociology as
his major field, Roseingrave has
held numerous posts in social
work. He is a past president of
the Catholic Vocational Organiza-
tion Societies and is a member
of the Irish Historical Society,
Irish Institute of Management,
and the Institute of Public Ad-
ministration.
The lecturer is a frequent con-
tributor to journals in Ireland,
England, and continental coun-
tries. He is director of The Land-
mark, organ of “Muintir na Tire,”
Irish rural life movement.

8 School TV Project
Brother Raymond Fleck, CSC,
president, has recently been
named chairman of the board of
trustees of the Texas Educational
Microwave Project (TEMP), a
closed-circuit television network
which is offering its member
schools a series on “American
Civilization—by Its Interpreters.”
TEMP has been operating since
1961 and this year has eight
educational institutions taking
part in the project: the University
of Texas, Huston-Tillotson Col-
lege, Concordia College and St.
Edward’s University in Austin;
Our Lady of the Lake College,
Trinity University, and San An-
tonio Colleges in San Antonio;
and Southwest Texas State Col-
lege in San Marcos.
“TEMP is now functioning on
three levels,” Brother Raymond
said. “The Board is made up of
representatives from general ad-
ministration; program planning
is done by academic administra-
tors; and the curriculum is
planned by teachers.”
The National Academy of Sci-
ences-National Research Council
has been called upon again to ad-
vise the National Science Foun-
dation in the selection of candi-
dates for the Foundation’s pro-
gram of graduate fellowships.
Committees of outstanding sci-
entists appointed by the Academy-
Research Council will evaluate
applications of all candidates. Fi-
nal selection will be made by the
Foundation, with awards to be
announced on March 15, 1966.
Fellowships will be awarded
for study in the mathematical,
physical, medical, biological and
engineering sciences; also in an-
thropology, economics (excluding
business administration), geogra-
phy, the history and philosophy
of science, linguistics, political
science, psychology (excluding
clinical psychology), and sociology
(excluding social work). They are
open to college seniors, graduate
students working toward a de-
gree, postdoctoral students, and
others with equivalent training
and experience. All applicants
must be citizens of the United
States and will be judged solely
on the basis of ability.
Applicants will be required to
take the Graduate Record Exam-
inations designed to test scientific
aptitude and achievement. The
examinations, administered by the
Educational Testing Service, will
be given at designated centers
throughout the United States and
certain foreign countries.
The annual stipends for gradu-
ate Fellows are as follows: $2400
for the first level; $2600 for the
intermediate level; and $2800 for
the terminal level. Limited allow-
ances will also be provided to ap-
ply toward tuition, laboratory
fees, and travel.
Further information and appli-
cation materials may be obtained
from the Fellowship Office, Na-
tional Academy of Sciences-Na-
tional Research Council, 2101 Con-
stitutional Avenue, N.W., Wash-
ington, DC 20418. The deadline
for the receipt of applications for
graduate fellowships is Decem-
ber 10, 1965.

The renovation of San Jose
Parish facilities was begun last
Saturday by a crew of volunteers
representing eight campus or-
ganizations. The first undertak-
ing was the conversion of a rocky,
weed-filled plot of land into a
baseball diamond.
San Jose Parish, located about
10 blocks from SEU, has the same
boundaries as St. Ignatius Parish,
but is made up entirely of im-
poverished Mexican families. Re-
ligious services are held in a con-
verted recreation hall, and school
is taught in three $45 army bar-
racks with leaky roofs and un-
painted classrooms.
CCD members teach religion
to high school students on Wed-
nesday nights; St. Mary’s Acad-
emy girls instruct grade school
children in religion and volleyball
on Saturdays.
The San Jose Project, although
considered by the officers of SAC
and the CCD to be Confraternity
work, is too great a task for any
one organization to undertake.
For this reason, a religious af-
fairs board has been organized
by SAC to combine the efforts
of all organizations on campus
willing to volunteer their services.
The board consists of Steve Ham-
merstein, SAC Religious Commit-
tee chairman, Father Callahan,
CSC, University chaplain, Jerry

University Acquires
Spectrophotometer
The SEU Chemistry Depart-
ment has recently acquired new
equipment valued at $6,500, in-
cluding a Perkin-Elmer Infrared
Spectrophotometer and two spe-
cialized Mettler balances.
The infrared spectrophotometer
is a powerful tool for identifying
unknown compounds by analyz-
ing their infrared spectra. The
$5,600 price tag was shared by a
National Science Foundation
grant and department funds.
One of the balances, an over-
head loading type, will be used in
freshman chemistry labs to re-
duce weighing time to approxi-
mately 20 seconds, enabling
whole classes to obtain accurate
results quickly. The other balance
will be used for precise measure-
ments in advanced labs. Using
these balances will reduce weigh-
ing time by a factor of ten over
previous methods.
