The painting by Brother Dun-
stan depicts a man washed upon
a rocky shore. “But we hope he
doesn’t arrive that way upon his
return from a year in Rome,”
and Jack Pledge, freshmen.
Prices on the food will remain
stable, and efforts will be made
to keep the prices low when
demand increases, according to
the name of
Mark Walter, SAC president,
has announced that there will be
a student referendum vote on
Monday, Oct. 25, from 8 am to
noon, on the adoption of a goat
as the St. Edward’s University
mascot. All students may vote to
accept the proposal, or to reject
it and suggest another possibility.
At the House of Clubs meeting
of Oct. 11, the adoption of the
goat for mascot was proposed by
Gary Gadacz, president of the
Edsmen Club and discussed by the
House. Gadacz said that the Ath-
letic Department has expressed a
desire for a mascot and that the
Edsmen club had investigated the
matter and found that a neighbor
of Mr. Norris would donate a goat
or sell it to the University for a
small price. The Edsmen Club has
volunteered to buy the goat and
care for it during the school year,
and return it to the man who now
owns it, where it could be kept
during the summers.
If the proposal is accepted by
the students, the Edsmen Club
will purchase shoes so the goat
can attend basketball games and
buy a blanket with an “E” on it
for the goat to wear. Gadacz said
that the goat would be kept at the
farm near the cemetery or in the
pasture beyond the “E,” with the
horses.
taken from
sister’s home
It was decided, pending accept-
ance of the referendum, that the
goat would be available for all
home baseball and basketball
games, and track and tennis
meets if its presence was desired.
Next year the Edsmen Club would
provide a trailer for it, so that it
could go to away games.
McCann remarked.
Equipment for decorating the
coffee shop is to be gathered by
October 30. The Drama Society
will decorate \the coffee shop
during that weekend. The capital
investment for the interior deco-
rating is limited; a careful but
efficient effort for economy is
necessary. McCann emphasizes
that a lot hinges on a meeting
with Frank Dembinski, director
of the physical plant. Thus far
Mr. Dembinski came to the aid
of the Texas Club by supplying
paint and brushes for repainting
the coffee shop’s compact kitchen.
This chore was completed in only
five hours by six members of the
Texas Club.
McCann is considering a name
for the coffee shop. “I think The
Tombs would be appropriate, due
to the several arched doorways
in the shop, and the black color
background. Our coffee shop’s
atmosphere will in fact probably
be more suited for the name than
the original ‘Tombs’ in Washing-
ton, D.C.,” McCann states.
Suggestions are welcomed for
naming the coffee shop. Also, Mc-
Cann will examine any large
paintings students wish to sub-
mit for display in the coffee shop.

SAC Announces Date
For Frosh Elections
Freshman class elections will
be held Wednesday, Nov. 3, from
8 am to noon in the lobby of the
library building. The class of ’69
will select a president and two
senators to represent them in the
senate of the Student Activities
Council, a vice-president and
secretary-treasurer to assist the
president, and to handle the class
funds, and to record the minutes
of the class meetings.
Candidates for office may begin
poster campaigns on Monday, Oct.
25, and must submit their plat-
forms to John Barajas, SAC vice-
president, room 307, Premont, by
Friday, Oct. 29.
According to Mark Walter, SAC
president, each candidate will
have an opportunity to speak to
the class on Tuesday, Nov. 2, at 10
pm in the dining hall.
Further information on the
elections, campaigns, and cam-
paign speeches will be dis-
pensed at hall meetings in the
freshman dormitories next week.
The Texas Region of the Na-
tional Federation of Catholic Col-
lege Students will hold its Fall
Workshop from the 29th through
the 31st of October on the cam-
pus of St. Edward’s University.
The theme of the workshop is
“The Loneliness of Communica-
tion on the College Campus.” It
is customary for the theme of
each Fall Workshop to center
around a current issue pertinent
to college campuses in general.
The communication to be dis-
cussed involves not only students,
but also faculty members and
administrators, for these profes-
sional people have the power to
promote workings for the better-
ment of campus atmosphere. To
advance an interrelated system
of communication on a college
campus is to advance a true sys-
tem of education, for communica-
tion is an essential part of edu-
cation.
Questions to be discussed
evolve around the areas which
should be of interest to today’s
college student and faculty mem-
ber.
The Workshop will begin Fri-
day evening, October 29, at 8 pm
in St. Edward’s University Dining
Jim Frank, Texas Club president. |
The employees earn 75c per hour,
and Manager Edgerton is paid a
minimum $20 per month salary
and all profits up to $40 per
month maximum salary. Any
profits above $40 will go into the
Texas Club treasury. Frank
stresses that the club does not
have a profit motive. Their object
is to break even and pay good
salaries to needy Texas Club em-
ployees. If the venture should
fail, the Texas Club treasury is
prepared to cover the loss without
assistance. Brother Edward Lee,
CSC, dean of student life, has ap-
proved the club’s financial plan
for the coffee shop.
The Texas Club invested $40
from their club treasury into the
coffee shop venture, for initial
supplies and a new and larger
grill. The club owns equipment
from previous years’ efforts,
including a freezer, malt ma-
chines, a refrigerator, and other
supplies.
John McCann says of the deco-
rating scheme, “Our idea is to
provide a place for students to
relax right here on this hill
where they’ll be comfortable and
entertained—and without feeling
compelled to leave campus.”
A black background with color-
ful abstract paintings featured by
small spotlights will lend atmos-
phere to the shop. According to
McCann’s plans, all lighting will
be "tubed,” in the "Id” coffee-
house fashion.
Mark Walter, SAC president;
will personally build the wooden
partition separating the pool room
and coffee shop. A small stage
will also be constructed, with
about a nine-inch elevation and
possibly with a curved wall back-
dropping the stage. The stage is
intended for small impromtu jazz
concerts, folk festivals, poetry
readings, drama productions, etc.
At the entrance to the coffee
shop will be hung a painting by
Brother Dunstan Bowles, CSC,
on leave of absence from SEU, as
a tribute to Brother Dunstan's
own initial steps in the long strug-
gle for a student union. He made
the coffee shop area presentable
for gatherings two years ago with
his burlap wall paneling and other
improvements to the basement.
Mexico Slides
Tom Frank, spokesman for
the campus initiated Mexico
Project of last summer, an-
nounced a showing of slides
taken during the course of the
group's activity in Villa
Flores, Mexico. The showing,
containing scenes of their trip
to the site, their accommoda-
tions, their work, and their
return home, will be given in
the Dining Hall on Sunday at
8 pm. A commentary will be
provided by Tom Frank.
By Gary Cooper
The room is barren, harshly
lit, impersonal. But the food is
good—and big are the plans for
the Texas Club coffee shop.
The Drama Society, under the
leadership of John McCann and
his $100 appropriation from the
Student Activities Council, plans
a coffee house decor in the Holy
Cross basement setting of the
coffee shop. An accent on intrinsic
simplicity will guide McCann’s
intentions.
The coffee shop is open Sunday
through Thursday from 8-11 pm.
Hamburgers (30c) and coffee (10c,
free refills) presently constitute
the menu. The menu will be ex-
panded to french fries and malts
when business is established.
The coffee shop opened Thurs-
day, October 14, under the man-
agement of Craige Edgerton,
sophomore Texas Club member.
Edgerton handles purchasing, fin-
ancial planning and personnel
management. Employees include
Jim Frank, junior, president of
the Texas Club; Mike Buzan,
sophomore; and Mike McDermott
