This institutional self-study is

The program entails forming vari-

The dance will begin at 7:30
and will continue until 11:30, with
music provided by the Nomads.
The trophy for the winner of the
Beanie bowl will be presented
that evening, along with the
Frosh Interfloor tourney trophy.
Freshmen will be required to
wear their beanies to the dance.
If the Freshmen win the Beanie
bowl, they may remove their
beanies at 9:30 when the trophy
is presented; if they lose, they
must wear them all night.
In commenting on the festivi-
ties, Bernie Yun, SAC president
said, “In the past years, the Wel-
come Freshmen dance has been
one of the most successful put on
during the school year. I am sure
that this year’s dance will carry
on the tradition.”

The Basketball “free throw”
contest will be held in the gym
beginning at 12:15 pm. The con-
test is open to all St. Edward’s
students except those on the
basketball team and those with
athletic scholarships. The cost
will be 10c per shot. If a student
should be successful and make
the basket, 15c will be refunded,
after which the winner will be
able to toss in another 10c and
take a second shot. No student
may take more than two con-
secutive shots. If the student
should miss his first shot he must
go to the end of the line and try
again later.
The functions of these com-
mittees are threefold. They will 1)
gather facts concerning their spe-
cial areas of endeavor, 2) analyze
the problems and conditions fac-
ing the University in these areas,
3) offer suggestions and propose
methods for improvement to the
steering committee, which con-

Father Harry Baker, CSC, SEU
student chaplain, opened the
school year with a solemn high
Mass, Sunday, September 20,
dedicated to academic success.
Assisting in the celebration were
Father Samuel Pryor, OP, in-
structor in theology, and Father
Edwin Kadzielawski, CSC, in-
structor in psychology.
Sections of the new liturgy were

months. Each committee is meet-
ing now and each is working
diligently. Brother LaSalle elabo-
rated on the physical plant com-
mittee for clarification of how
each group will operate: “The
physical plant committee will
develop a master plan for the
physical plant advising the steer-
ing committee and the Board of
Lay Trustees as to future build-
ings, utilization of school land,
etc. Each committee will work
similarly in their special areas.
The students’ opinions are wel-
comed and encouraged and from
time to time the committees will
ask students to attend their
meetings. This is going to be an
all-out effort to improve the Uni-
versity and to be sure that the
words printed in our bulletin are
living words, words which we hold
true, and not just print on paper
designed to attract students and
deceive benefactors. We welcome
this program and we look forward
to presenting to our nation and
humanity a better St. Edward’s
university when the study is com-
pleted.’’

can conjure up is the increased
walking distance. “We miss the
convenience we had at Holy Cross
hall of being close to the book-
store, gymnasium, and pool
tables,” cries Bernie Yun, presi-
dent of SAC.
Discipline at Premont is being
directed with the trend toward
self-government. Each floor is to
establish its own managerial laws
concerning use of the telephone,
music volume, etc. Some policies,
such as the signing-out sheet,
have been eliminated altogether.
(“One person usually signed the
whole floor out, anyway,” explains
Brother Daniel.)
More contemporary regulations
are in order for Premont, such as
proper dress for the lounge and
office area. Being open to in-
spection by the public eye de-
mands wearing a shining face
and a pair of pants.
The second of these two tra-
ditions will be an old-fashioned
greased pig chase. The event will
be held on the athletic field at
1:15 pm that same day.
The pig will be properly greased
and set free to romp among the
weeds with a great number of
Edsmen in hot pursuit.

Premont hall will be the hub of
campus social activity this year.
Architectural beauty and com-
fortable air-conditioning, accented
by a spacious lounge open to the
public, create a unique atmos-
phere with unlimited possibili-
ties.
Brother Daniel Lynch, rector of
Premont hall, emphasizes the
element of peace in the new dorm,
which he attributes to the sound-
proofing effect of the air-con-
ditioning.
Tom Stader and Jeff Burns
have found that Premont is the
cure for hot tempers, humid study
hours, and too frequent escapes
to the library. “Quite an impact”
is how most upperclassmen
describe their move to Premont
from Holy Cross hall, formerly
the upper class dormitory.

used the current gospel concern-
ing the paralytic to highlight the
idea that modern man thinks
little about God unless he is di-
rectly reminded of His presence
by a miracle, or a tragedy. Just
as Christ chastised the people
who were unmoved in the parable.
He sends a warning to the people
of today to recognize Him.
The use of the new liturgy will
be increased during the year in
cooperation with the new litur-
gical movement.
Brother Raymond Fleck, CSC,
addressing five members of a
steering committee, announced
last Sunday that a vast new
project is about to be undertaken
at St. Edward’s. In announcing
the St. Edward’s university self-
study, the president noted that
